[0028] The utility model will be further described in detail in combination with the embodiment of the drawings.

[0029] The embodiment provides a screw type plug-in connector. Specifically, referring to Figures 1-6As shown, the screw type plug-in connector of the embodiment includes a first plug-in body 1 and a second plug-in body 2, the second plug-in body 2 is assembled with the first plug-in body 1, here the first plug-in body 1 is a plug, and the second plug-in body 2 is a socket, the first plug-in body 1 has a first shell 10, and the second plug-in body 2 has a second shell 20, the upper part of the second shell 20 is formed with a screw hole 200, the screw hole 200 is in communication with the inner side of the second shell 20, the inner side of the second shell 20 is provided with a current-carrying body 3, and the screw hole 200 is detachably provided with a screw 201 configured to connect the current-carrying body 3; and the second plug-in body 2 is also provided with a lock button piece 4. Among them, in this embodiment, the lock button piece 4 has a pressing part 41, a fixed part 42 and an elastic cantilever 43, the pressing part 41 is configured to be movably located above the screw hole 200 of the second shell 20 and has a variable height difference with the screw hole 200; the fixed part 42 is configured to be fixed to the second shell 20; the first end of the elastic cantilever 43 is connected to the fixed part 42, and the second end of the elastic cantilever 43 is connected to the pressing part 41; wherein the elastic cantilever 43 is configured to elastically deform under pressure; wherein the first shell 10 of the first plug-in body 1 and the elastic cantilever 43 of the lock button piece 4 are buckled and fixed through a buckle fitting structure, and the buckle fitting structure is configured to be released from the buckled and fixed state after the elastic cantilever is forced to deform downward.

[0030] In the screw type plug-in connector of the embodiment, when the first plug-in body and the second plug-in body are inserted, the first shell of the first plug-in body and the elastic cantilever of the lock button piece are buckled and fixed through the buckle fitting structure. Once it is necessary to separate the first plug-in body and the second plug-in body, a pressing force is applied to the pressing part of the lock button piece towards the screw hole, because the pressing part has a height difference with the screw hole, the pressing part moves downward after being pressed, and the elastic cantilever of the lock button piece also elastically deforms downward, so that the elastic cantilever of the lock button piece is released from the buckled and fixed state with the first shell of the first plug-in body, so that there is no structure to prevent the separation of the first plug-in body and the second plug-in body, and the separation operation between the two plug-in bodies can be easily completed.

[0031] As the buckle fixing mode between the first shell of the first plug-in body and the elastic cantilever of the lock button piece, in this embodiment, referring to Figures 2-5 As shown, the inner side wall of the first shell 10 of the first plug-in body 1 is provided with a first buckle part 11, and the elastic cantilever 43 of the lock button piece 4 is provided with a second buckle part 431, the first buckle part 11 and the second buckle part 431 are buckled and fitted with each other to form the buckle fitting structure.

In this way, the elastic cantilever is connected to the pressing part of the lock button piece in an inclined manner. As long as the pressing part moves downward due to the pressing force, the elastic cantilever can produce elastic deformation towards the lower side, and then contact the buckle fixing state between the elastic cantilever and the first shell of the second plug-in body.

[0033] As the setting mode of the elastic cantilever on the second shell of the second plug-in body 2, refer to Figures 2-4 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the second shell 20 of the second plug-in body 2 is provided with a buckle fixing structure 201', and the fixed part 42 of the lock button piece 4 is buckled at the buckle fixing structure 201'. For example, the buckle fixing structure 201' can be in the form of a clamping groove.

[0034] Again refer to Figures 2-5 As shown in the figure, in the screw type plug-in connector of this embodiment, the pressing part 41 of the lock button piece 4 is connected with the elastic cantilever 43 through the vertical segment 44, which is provided with a limiting structure 441, and the second shell 20 of the second plug-in body 2 is provided with a limiting buckle 202 cooperating with the limiting structure 441 to limit the upward movement amplitude of the pressing part 41 along with the elastic cantilever.

[0035] As the preferred structure form of the lock button piece, in this embodiment, the pressing part 41, the fixed part 42, the elastic cantilever 43 and the vertical segment 44 are all in an integrated structure. Moreover, the lock button piece 4 is in a Z-shaped structure as a whole.

[0036] In order to facilitate the tightening or loosening of the screw in the screw hole by using a tool, in this embodiment, the fixed part 42 of the lock button is formed with an opening 420, which is located directly above the screw hole 200 and has a hole diameter larger than that of the screw hole 200. In this way, the rotating end of the tool can be inserted into the screw hole below through the opening of the fixed part to tighten or loosen the screw in the screw hole.

[0037] Although the preferred embodiments of the utility model have been described in detail above, it should be clearly understood that the utility model can have various changes and variations for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
