Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pin fixing technology, and in particular to a connector pin fixing structure with structural improvements. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connectors have many pins. The main function of the pins is to interconnect with related devices. The stability of the pins directly affects the stability of the electrical connector, and the pin fixing structure directly affects the stability of the pins.

[0003] In existing technologies, pins are generally pressed into the socket by force, but this forced insertion method results in poor pull-out resistance of the pins, which can easily lead to loosening of the pins during long-term use and affect the connection effect of the electrical connector.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved connector pin fixing structure to enhance the stability of the pins, which has become an important technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides an improved connector pin fixing structure, which aims to solve the problem that in the prior art, pins are generally pressed into the socket by a forced insertion method. However, the forced insertion connection method results in poor pull-out resistance of the pins, which can easily lead to loosening of the pins during long-term use and affect the connection effect of the electrical connector.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes an improved connector pin fixing structure, comprising: a socket; an insulating structure disposed on the socket; a pin disposed on the insulating structure, the insulating structure having a socket for insertion of the pin; a limiting portion disposed on the pin and abutting against the insulating structure; an annular limiting protrusions spaced apart on the insulating structure and located within the socket; and a first annular groove spaced apart on the pin and adapted to the annular limiting protrusions.

[0007] In some embodiments, the invention further includes: a vertical protrusion disposed on the side of the insulating structure facing the limiting portion; and a second annular groove disposed on the limiting portion, the second annular groove being adapted to the vertical protrusion.

[0008] In some embodiments, the device further includes: an annular gap, wherein an annular gap is provided between the insulating structure and the insert; and a filling layer, wherein the annular gap is filled with a filling layer.

[0009] In some embodiments, the device further includes a guide portion, wherein the end of the socket is provided with a guide portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, it further includes: a rotation limiting part, the rotation limiting part being disposed in the insert.

[0011] In some embodiments, it further includes: a connection structure, the connection structure connecting pins.

[0012] This application proposes an improved connector pin fixing structure, comprising: a socket; an insulating structure disposed within the socket; a pin disposed within the insulating structure, the insulating structure having a socket for pin insertion; a limiting portion disposed within the pin and abutting against the insulating structure; an annular limiting protrusion spaced apart within the insulating structure and located within the socket; and a first annular groove spaced apart within the pin, the first annular groove fitting the annular limiting protrusion. During connector pin installation, the insulating structure is first installed into the socket, then the pin is aligned with the corresponding socket on the insulating structure. Using a dedicated insertion device, the pin is inserted into the socket, and the limiting portion of the pin abuts against the upper surface of the insulating structure, thus fixing the pin. After the pin is fixed, the annular limiting protrusions on the insulating structure also engage with the first annular groove, improving the pin's stability. Through the above structural design, after the pin is inserted into the insulating structure, the engagement of the annular limiting protrusion and the first annular groove restricts the pin from coming out, greatly enhancing the pin's pull-out resistance and thus improving the stability of the electrical connector.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this application proposes an improved connector pin fixing structure, comprising: a socket 1; an insulating structure 7 disposed on the socket 1; a pin 2 disposed on the insulating structure 7, the insulating structure 7 having a socket for insertion of the pin 2; a limiting part 3 disposed on the pin 2 and abutting against the insulating structure 7; an annular limiting protrusion 9 spaced apart on the insulating structure 7 and located within the socket; and a first annular groove 10 spaced apart on the pin 2 and adapted to the annular limiting protrusion 9.

[0024] The socket 1 is the structural basis of the improved connector pin fixing structure, and other structures in the improved connector pin fixing structure are directly or indirectly mounted on the socket 1. The socket 1 and the pins 2 on it are used to insert into the female electrical connector to form the connection of the circuit system. The insulating structure 7 is the structural basis of the pins 2. The insulating structure 7 is a stepped cylinder, and the socket 1 is provided with a matching stepped cylindrical hole. The limiting part 3 is the core component that limits the insertion depth of the pins 2. In order to ensure that the pins 2 can be smoothly inserted into the female electrical connector, the limiting part 3 is specially provided to ensure the length of the pins 2 remaining on the outside of the insulating structure 7. The annular limiting protrusion 9 and the first annular groove 10 are the core components of the improved connector pin fixing structure. When the limiting part 3 of the pins 2 abuts against the upper end surface of the insulating structure 7, the vertical position of the first annular groove 10 coincides with that of the annular limiting protrusion 9, and the annular limiting protrusion 9 is engaged in the first annular groove 10.

[0025] Specifically, during the installation of the connector pin 2, the insulating structure 7 is first installed into the socket 1. Then, the pin 2 is aligned with the corresponding socket on the insulating structure 7. Using a dedicated insertion device, the pin 2 is inserted into the socket, and the limiting part 3 of the pin 2 abuts against the upper end face of the insulating structure 7 to fix the pin 2. After the pin 2 is fixed, the annular limiting protrusion 9 on the insulating structure 7 also engages in the first annular groove 10, improving the stability of the pin 2. Through the above structural design, after the pin 2 is inserted into the insulating structure 7, the engagement of the annular limiting protrusion 9 and the first annular groove 10 restricts the pin 2 from coming out, significantly enhancing the pull-out resistance of the pin 2 and thus improving the stability of the electrical connector.

[0026] In detail, the insulating structure 7 is provided with multiple spaced-apart sockets, each socket having a corresponding pin 2. Multiple pins 2 are inserted into the corresponding sockets one by one. The cross-sectional shape and size of the annular limiting protrusion 9 match the cross-sectional shape and size of the first annular groove 10. Preferably, the cross-sections of both the annular limiting protrusion 9 and the first annular groove 10 are arc-shaped, and the curvature is less than π, which facilitates the annular limiting protrusion 9 to be engaged in the first annular groove 10.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: a vertical protrusion 6, which is disposed on the side of the insulating structure 7 facing the limiting part 3, and the vertical protrusion 6 is a ring-shaped protrusion; and a second annular groove 11, which is disposed on the limiting part 3 and is adapted to the vertical protrusion 6. After the pin 2 is inserted into the socket, the vertical protrusion 6 is also inserted into the second annular groove 11 to ensure the coaxiality of the pin 2 and the socket. If the vertical protrusion 6 cannot be inserted into the second annular groove 11, the pin 2 needs to be reinserted.

[0028] In this embodiment, the vertical protrusion 6 can also be provided on the limiting part 3, and the second annular groove 11 can be provided on the insulating structure 7, without specific limitations. The cross-sectional shape and size of the second annular groove 11 match the cross-sectional shape and size of the vertical protrusion 6. Preferably, the cross-section of the second annular groove 11 is arc-shaped.

[0029] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the method further includes: an annular gap, with an annular gap provided between the insulating structure 7 and the insert 1; and a filling layer 8, which fills the annular gap. Before the pins 2 are inserted, the annular gap is filled with the filling layer 8. At this time, due to the presence of the annular gap, the insulating structure 7 can undergo slight deformation, allowing the annular limiting protrusion 9 on the insulating structure 7 to also engage with the first annular groove 10. After all the pins 2 are inserted, the annular gap is filled with the filling layer 8 to enhance the stability of the insulating structure 7. The filling layer 8 is preferably epoxy resin. The annular gap effectively reduces the difficulty of inserting the pins 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the insulating structure 7 includes a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion. The insert 1 is provided with a stepped hole adapted to the insulating structure 7. There is an annular gap between the large diameter portion and the insert 1, and the width of the annular gap is smaller than the radius difference between the large diameter portion and the small diameter portion. The annular limiting protrusions 9 on the insulating structure 7 are all provided in the insertion hole of the large diameter portion.

[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a guide portion 12 is further included, with the guide portion 12 provided at the end of the insertion hole. The guide portion 12 facilitates the insertion of the pin 2 into the insertion hole, and the guide portion 12 is preferably an arc-shaped guide portion 12.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes a rotation limiting part 4, which is disposed in the insert 1. When the insert 1 is inserted into the female connector, the rotation limiting part 4 is simultaneously inserted into the rotation limiting groove of the female connector to limit the rotation of the insert 1.

[0033] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes a connection structure 5, which connects to the pin 2. The connection structure 5 is used to connect structures such as cables to realize the connection between the connector and the circuit system. The connector also includes a limiting structure for restricting the position of the cable or other essential structures. Since the above structures are not the inventive points to be protected in this application and are mature prior art, this application does not impose too many restrictions on their specific structures.

[0034] The above description is only a part or preferred embodiment of this application. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings under the overall concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
