[0053] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure.
[0054] As shown in Figures 1 to 8 , the connector male head 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a screw rod 1, a male head terminal 2 and a connecting wire 3. The outer circumferential surface of the screw rod 1 is provided with an external thread 11, which is used to connect with the threaded hole 61 of the connector female head 20. The male head terminal 2 is arranged at the insertion end 14 of the screw rod 1 and is connected with the screw rod 1. The screw rod 1 is provided with a through hole 12 extending along the length direction thereof. One end of the connecting wire 3 is electrically connected with the male head terminal 2, and the other end of the connecting wire 3 passes through the through hole 12. The end of the male head terminal 2 away from the connecting wire 3 is used to contact with the female head terminal 7 of the connector female head 20.
[0055] For example, as shown in Figure 8 , the connector female head 20 includes a seat body 6 and a female head terminal 7. The seat body 6 is provided with a threaded hole 61, one end of the length direction of the threaded hole 61 forms an insertion port 611 for the insertion of the connector male head 10. The screw rod 1 of the connector male head 10 is inserted into the threaded hole 61 through the insertion port 611, and the external thread 11 of the screw rod 1 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 61. The female head terminal 7 is arranged at the side of the seat body 6 away from the insertion port 611. The female head terminal 7 is arranged corresponding to the threaded hole 61. The end of the female head terminal 7 close to the insertion port 611 contacts with the male head terminal 2 of the connector male head 10.
[0056] The connector male head 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure realizes the mechanical connection between the connector male head 10 and the connector female head 20 by arranging the external thread 11 on the outer circumferential surface of the screw rod 1 of the connector male head 10 and threadedly connecting the external thread 11 of the screw rod 1 with the threaded hole 61 of the connector female head 20. The connector male head 10 and the connector female head 20 are electrically connected by arranging the male head terminal 2 on the plug-in end 14 of the connector male head 10 so that the male head terminal 2 can be in contact with the female head terminal 7 of the connector female head 20 when the connector male head 10 is screwed with the connector female head 20. The male head terminal 2 can be electrically connected with the external device through the wire 3 by arranging the through hole 12 on the screw rod 1 of the connector male head 10. Thus, the mechanical connection and the electrical connection between the connector male head 10 and the connector female head 20 can be realized simultaneously.
[0057] The external device can be a mobile phone holder or the like.
[0058] In order to make the technical solutions of the present disclosure easier to understand, the length direction of the screw rod 1 is taken as an example in which the length direction is consistent with the up-down direction, and the technical solutions of the present disclosure are further described. The up-down direction is as shown in Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 8 .
[0059] For example, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 , the through hole 12 extends along the up-down direction and penetrates through the up-down two ends of the screw rod 1. The lower end of the screw rod 1 is the plug-in end 14, the male head terminal 2 is arranged at the lower end of the screw rod 1, and the wire is arranged on the upper side of the male head terminal 2. The lower end of the male head terminal 2 is used to contact the female head terminal 7 of the connector female head 20.
[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the number of male head terminals 2 and wires 3 is both multiple, adjacent two male head terminals 2 are arranged at intervals, and the wires 3 correspond to the male head terminals 2 one by one and are electrically connected. The male head terminal 2 assembly further includes at least one insulator 4 arranged between the adjacent two male head terminals 2 and connected with the male head terminals 2.
[0061] For example, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the number of male head terminals 2 and wires 3 is both two, the two male head terminals 2 are respectively a first male head terminal 21 and a second male head terminal 22, and the two wires 3 are respectively a first wire 31 and a second wire 32, the first male head terminal 21 is electrically connected with the first wire 31, and the second male head terminal 22 is electrically connected with the second wire. The first male head terminal 21 and the second male head terminal 22 are provided with the insulator 4.
[0062] The insulator 4 is arranged between the two adjacent male terminals 2, so that the insulation between the two adjacent male terminals 2 is ensured, and the reliability of the connector male head 10 is improved.
[0063] Optionally, the ends of the plurality of male terminals 2 away from the conductive wire 3 are in the same plane.
[0064] For example, the lower ends of the first male terminal 21 and the second male terminal 22 are in the same plane.
[0065] It can be understood that the ends of the male terminals 2 away from the conductive wire 3 are used to contact the female terminals 7 of the connector female head 20. By arranging the ends of the plurality of male terminals 2 away from the conductive wire 3 in the same plane, the plurality of male terminals 2 can be simultaneously and respectively contacted with the corresponding female terminals 7, so that the plurality of male terminals 2 are all contacted with the corresponding female terminals 7, and the reliability of the connector male head 10 is improved.
[0066] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the screw rod 1 is a conductor, and the plug-in end 14 is used to electrically connect with the female terminals 7 of the connector female head 20. The connector male head 10 further comprises a connecting wire 5, which is arranged on the side of the screw rod 1 away from the plug-in end 14 and is electrically connected with the screw rod 1.
[0067] By arranging the screw rod 1 as a conductor and arranging the connecting wire 5 electrically connected with the screw rod 1, the connecting wire 5 can be electrically connected with an external device, so that the screw rod 1 can be used as a male terminal, for example, the screw rod 1 is used as the third male terminal 13, thereby the number of male terminals can be reduced, so that the structure of the connector male head 10 is simplified, and the cost of the connector male head 10 is reduced.
[0068] Optionally, the screw rod 1 is a conductor, and the plug-in end 14 is used to electrically connect with the female terminals 7 of the connector female head 20. One of the male terminals 2 is electrically connected with the screw rod 1.
[0069] By electrically connecting the male terminal 2 with the screw rod 1, the male terminal 2 and the screw rod 1 are both used as male terminals, the contact area between the male terminal and the female terminal 7 is increased, and the electrical connection reliability between the connector male head 10 and the connector female head 20 is improved.
[0070] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the side of the screw rod 1 away from the plug-in end 14 is provided with a protrusion 103, and the connecting wire 5 is electrically connected with the protrusion 103.
[0071] For example, the upper end of the screw rod 1 is provided with the protrusion 103, and the connecting wire 5 is welded with the protrusion 103.
[0072] By arranging the protrusion 103 on the side of the screw rod 1 away from the plug-in end 14, the connection wire 5 is facilitated to be electrically connected with the screw rod 1, and the cost of the male connector 10 is reduced.
[0073] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 1 , the end of the male terminal 2 away from the wire 3 and the plug-in end 14 are in the same plane.
[0074] For example, the lower end surface of the male terminal 2 and the plug-in end 14 are in the same plane.
[0075] It can be understood that the end of the male terminal 2 away from the wire 3 is used to contact the female terminal 7 of the female connector 20, and the plug-in end 14 is also used to contact the female terminal 7 of the female connector 20. By arranging the end of the male terminal 2 away from the wire 3 and the plug-in end 14 in the same plane, the male terminal 2 and the plug-in end 14 are facilitated to contact the corresponding female terminal 7 at the same time, so as to ensure that the male terminal 2 and the screw rod 1 are in contact with the corresponding female terminal 7, and the reliability of the male connector 10 is improved.
[0076] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 4 , the screw rod 1 includes a first rod segment 101 and a second rod segment 102, the outer diameter of the first rod segment 101 is greater than the outer diameter of the second rod segment 102, the external thread 11 is arranged on the first rod segment 101, and the end of the second rod segment 102 away from the first rod segment 101 forms the plug-in end 14.
[0077] For example, as shown in Figure 4 , the first rod segment 101 is arranged on the upper side of the second rod segment 102, and the lower end of the second rod segment 102 forms the plug-in end 14.
[0078] By arranging the external thread 11 on the first rod segment 101 and the plug-in end 14 on the second rod segment 102, and arranging the outer diameter of the first rod segment 101 to be greater than the outer diameter of the second rod segment 102, the outer diameter of the plug-in end 14 is small, which facilitates the plug-in end 14 to be inserted into the threaded hole 61 of the female connector 20, thereby facilitating the connection of the male connector 10 and the female connector 20.
[0079] In addition, when the screw rod 1 is used as the third male terminal 13, the second rod segment 102 does not play a threaded connection role when the male connector 10 is connected with the female connector 20, so that the plug-in end 14 does not contact the threaded hole 61, thereby effectively avoiding the wear of the plug-in end 14, improving the electrical connection reliability of the plug-in end 14 and the female terminal 7 of the female connector 20, and thereby improving the electrical connection reliability of the male connector 10 and the female connector 20.
[0080] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, at least one male terminal 2 is annular, and one of the two adjacent male terminals 2 is sleeved outside the other male terminal 2.
[0081] For example, as shown in Figure 6 the first male terminal 21 is cylindrical, and the second male terminal 22 is annular, and the second male terminal 22 is sleeved outside the first male terminal 21.
[0082] By setting at least one male terminal 2 as annular, the male terminal 2 can be in contact with the female terminal 7 during the rotation of the screw rod 1, thereby improving the electrical connection reliability of the connector male head 10 and the connector female head 20.
[0083] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 7 the insulator 4 is annular, and the insulator 4 and the male terminal 2 are alternately arranged along the radial direction of the screw rod 1, and the insulator 4 is in interference fit with the male terminal 2.
[0084] For example, the number of insulators 4 is two, and the two insulators 4 are respectively a first insulator 41 and a second insulator 42. The first insulator 41 is arranged between the first male terminal 21 and the second male terminal 22, and the first male terminal 21 and the second male terminal 22 are both in interference fit with the first insulator 41 to realize the insulation between the first male terminal 21 and the second male terminal 22. The second insulator 42 is arranged between the second male terminal 22 and the third male terminal 13, and the second male terminal 22 and the third male terminal 13 are both in interference fit with the second insulator 42 to realize the insulation between the second male terminal 22 and the third male terminal 13.
[0085] By interference fit between the insulator 4 and the male terminal 2, the connection and fixation of the male terminal 2 and the insulator 4 are facilitated, thereby facilitating the assembly of the connector male head 10 and being conducive to reducing the cost of the connector male head 10.
[0086] Specifically, when assembling the connector male head 10, the male terminal 2 can be electrically connected with the corresponding wire 3 first, then the male terminal 2 and the insulator 4 are sleeved in sequence, so that the male terminal 2, the insulator 4 and the wire 3 are assembled into a terminal assembly, and then the terminal assembly is connected with the screw rod 1.
[0087] Alternatively, the insulator 4 is a rubber ring or a plastic ring.
[0088] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 4 the through hole 12 is provided with a stop portion 123, and at least one male terminal 2 and / or at least one insulator 4 abuts against the stop portion 123 in the direction away from the plug-in end 14.
[0089] For example, the insulator 4 abuts against the stop portion 123 in the upward direction.
[0090] By setting the stop portion 123 in the through hole 12, the limiting of the male terminal 2 in the length direction of the screw rod 1 can be achieved, the assembly precision between the male terminal 2 and the screw rod 1 is improved, and the reliability of the connector male head 10 is improved.
[0091] Optionally, the through hole 12 includes a first hole section 121 and a second hole section 122, the hole diameter of the first hole section 121 is smaller than the hole diameter of the second hole section 122, the male terminal 2 and the insulator 4 are both arranged in the second hole section 122, the wire 3 is arranged in the first hole section 121, and the first hole section 121 forms the stop portion 123 at one end close to the second hole section 122.
[0092] For example, the first hole section 121 is arranged at the upper side of the second hole section 122, and the lower end face of the first hole section 121 forms the stop portion 123.
[0093] By setting the through hole 12 as a stepped hole including the first hole section 121 and the second hole section 122, and forming the stop portion 123 at one end of the first hole section 121 close to the second hole section 122, the structure of the screw rod 1 is simple, the processing and manufacturing of the connector male head 10 are facilitated, and the cost of the connector male head 10 is reduced.
[0094] The assembly process of the connector male head 10 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows:
[0095] First, the male terminal 2 is welded with the corresponding wire 3, and the male terminal 2 is fixed in the insulator 4 to form a terminal group; then, the wire 3 is inserted through the through hole 12 of the screw rod 1, so that the end of the male terminal 2 away from the wire 3 is exposed to contact the female terminal 7; the screw rod 1 is made of a metal conductive material, and the side of the screw rod 1 away from the plug-in end 14 is welded with the connecting wire 5, so that the screw rod 1 is used as a male terminal 2. After the assembly of the connector male head 10 is completed, the wire 3 and the connecting wire 5 are electrically connected with the external device, so that the electrical connection between the external device and the connector male head 10 can be achieved.
[0096] As shown in Figures 8 to 14 The connector female head 20 in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a seat body 6 and a female terminal 7. The seat body 6 is provided with a threaded hole 61 for threaded connection with the external thread 11 of the connector male head 10. One end of the threaded hole 61 in the length direction forms a plug-in port 611 for insertion of the connector male head 10. The female terminal 7 is arranged on the side of the seat body 6 away from the plug-in port 611, and the female terminal 7 is arranged corresponding to the threaded hole 61, and the end of the female terminal 7 close to the plug-in port 611 is used to contact the male terminal 2 of the connector male head 10.
[0097] The female terminal 7 is arranged corresponding to the threaded hole 61, which can be understood as that the orthographic projection of the female terminal 7 in the direction towards the plug-in port 611 is located in the threaded hole 61.
[0098] For example, as shown in Figure 8 , the connector male head 10 is the connector male head 10 described in any of the above embodiments. The screw rod 1 of the connector male head 10 is inserted into the threaded hole 61 through the insertion port 611, and the external thread 11 of the screw rod 1 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 61. The female head terminal 7 at one end close to the insertion port 611 is in contact with the male head terminal 2 of the connector male head 10.
[0099] For example, the threaded hole 61 extends along the up-down direction, and the upper end opening of the threaded hole 61 forms the insertion port 611. The upper end of the female head terminal 7 is in contact with the male head terminal 2 of the connector male head 10.
[0100] The connector female head 20 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the threaded hole 61 in the seat body 6 of the connector female head 20, the screw rod 1 of the connector male head 10 can be inserted into the threaded hole 61 through the insertion port 611, and threadedly connected with the threaded hole 61 of the connector female head 20, to realize the mechanical connection of the connector male head 10 and the connector female head 20. By providing the female head terminal 7 at one end of the connector female head 20 away from the insertion port 611, when the connector male head 10 is threadedly connected with the connector female head 20, the female head terminal 7 can be in contact with the male head terminal 2 of the connector male head 10, to realize the electrical connection of the connector male head 10 and the connector female head 20. Thus, the mechanical connection and the electrical connection functions between the connector male head 10 and the connector female head 20 can be realized at the same time.
[0101] Optionally, as shown in Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 14 , the connector female head 20 further comprises a circuit board 8, which is provided at one side of the female head terminal 7 away from the insertion port 611. The circuit board 8 is connected with the seat body 6, and the female head terminal 7 is electrically connected with the circuit board 8.
[0102] Among them, the circuit board 8 can be electrically connected with the power supply, to realize the electrical connection of the connector female head 20 and the power supply, and then realize the electrical connection of the connector male head 10 and the power supply when the connector male head 10 is electrically connected with the connector female head 20.
