Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically a new energy connector. Background Technology

[0002] Commercially available new energy connectors use a process where metal springs are inserted into a one-piece plastic shell and then cold-riveted to the back. This method is difficult to assemble, the metal springs are not very secure, and the rivets are prone to loosening under prolonged heat. Once loosened, sparking can easily cause the connector to burn out, affecting the product's lifespan. Therefore, we have proposed a new type of new energy connector. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a new energy connector that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a new energy connector, including a plastic base and a metal spring, wherein the metal spring is placed in the inner cavity of the plastic base, and semi-circular positioning posts are provided on both sides of the metal spring in the inner cavity of the plastic base, and semi-circular positioning holes are opened on both sides of the metal spring and the semi-circular positioning holes are sleeved to the outside of the semi-circular positioning posts.

[0005] A plastic cover is installed on the plastic base. A positioning block is provided on the lower surface of the plastic cover and above the semi-circular positioning post. The positioning block is sleeved into the inner cavity of the semi-circular positioning post and the plastic cover is in contact with the metal spring.

[0006] The plastic base has several welding grooves, and the lower surface of the plastic cover has several welding ribs.

[0007] Preferably, the back of the plastic base and the upper surface of the plastic cover are provided with positive and negative polarity markings.

[0008] Preferably, the number of welding ribs and welding grooves are the same and their positions correspond, and the welding ribs are inserted into the inner cavity of the welding grooves.

[0009] This utility model provides a new energy connector, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] This new energy connector utilizes a combination of semi-circular positioning posts, semi-circular positioning holes, and positioning blocks. The semi-circular positioning posts and holes define the position of the metal spring clip, while the positioning blocks and semi-circular positioning posts, along with a plastic cap, compress the metal spring clip to secure it. Then, through the use of welding grooves and welding ribs, combined with ultrasonic riveting, the plastic base and plastic cap are assembled, effectively ensuring a strong connection without glue overflow. Assembly is convenient and quick, with excellent fixing effect. The metal spring clip will not loosen during use, and there will be no sparking, thus extending the product's lifespan. Compared with older products on the market, the number of insertion and removal cycles is significantly increased. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a new energy connector, including a plastic base 1 and a metal spring 4. The metal spring 4 is placed in the inner cavity of the plastic base 1. Semicircular positioning posts 2 are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the plastic base 1 and on both sides of the metal spring 4. Semicircular positioning holes 5 corresponding to the semicircular positioning posts 2 are opened on both sides of the metal spring 4, and the semicircular positioning holes 5 are sleeved to the outside of the semicircular positioning posts 2 to limit the position of the metal spring 4.

[0020] A plastic cover 6 is installed on the plastic base 1. A positioning block 7 is set on the lower surface of the plastic cover 6 and above the semi-circular positioning post 2. The positioning block 7 is sleeved into the inner cavity of the semi-circular positioning post 2 and the plastic cover 6 is in contact with the metal spring 4 to fix the metal spring 4, thereby preventing the metal spring 4 from moving or loosening.

[0021] The plastic base 1 has several welding grooves 3, and the lower surface of the plastic cover 6 has several welding ribs 8. The number of welding ribs 8 and the welding grooves 3 are the same and their positions correspond. The welding ribs 8 are inserted into the inner cavity of the welding grooves 3, and the welding ribs 8 and the welding grooves 3 are welded together by ultrasonic riveting process, thereby realizing the connection and fixation between the plastic base 1 and the plastic cover 6. This effectively ensures a firm connection without glue overflow, making assembly convenient and quick, and providing excellent fixation. The metal spring 4 will not loosen during use and will not generate sparks, thus extending the product's service life. Compared with the old products on the market, this product changes the traditional production process structure. There are no rivets on the back of the product, and the number of insertion and removal uses is significantly increased.

[0022] Positive and negative polarity markings 9 are provided on the back of the plastic base 1 and the upper surface of the plastic cover 6.

[0023] In summary, when assembling this new energy connector, first align the semi-circular positioning holes 5 on both sides of the metal spring 4 with the semi-circular positioning post 2, then place the metal spring 4 inside the plastic seat 1, so that the semi-circular positioning post 2 is located inside the semi-circular positioning hole 5. Then, align the welding rib 8 on the plastic cover 6 with the welding groove 3 on the plastic seat 1, align the positioning block 7 with the inner cavity of the semi-circular positioning post 2, and press it to make the positioning block 7 enter the inner cavity of the semi-circular positioning post 2, and the welding rib 8 enter the inner cavity of the welding groove 3. Use ultrasonic riveting process to weld and fix the welding rib 8, thereby realizing the assembly of the plastic seat 1, the metal spring 4 and the plastic cover 6. The assembly is efficient and convenient.
