These products require a connector to link the battery to the components being used during operation. Current technologies typically employ spring contacts for this connection, which are mounted and secured by plastic brackets. Over time, these plastic brackets deform, compressing the spring contacts and preventing them from extending and retracting properly, thus affecting power supply efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bracket and electronic connector to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] Another objective of this invention is to provide an electronic connector that ensures power supply efficiency and improves the user experience.
[0019] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0035] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0036] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0038] This embodiment provides a support, such as Figures 1-2 The bracket is used to install the spring piece 100. Specifically, the bracket includes a base 10, a baffle assembly 20, and a rib 30; wherein, the base 10 is disposed on a support surface; the baffle assembly 20 includes a first baffle 21 and a second baffle 22, the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are respectively disposed at both ends of the base 10 along its own length direction, and a limiting space 23 is provided between the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22, the limiting space 23 is used to accommodate the spring piece 100, and the spring piece 100 can elastically deform within the limiting space 23; the rib 30 is disposed between the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22, and the rib 30 is used to support the baffle assembly 20.
[0039] In this structure, the base 10 ensures stability, and the limiting space 23 is located between the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22, thereby protecting the spring piece 100 and preventing short circuits caused by contact between the spring piece 100 and other structures. The ribs 30 provide good support for the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22, thereby effectively preventing deformation of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22, thus avoiding the situation where the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 hinder the elastic extension and contraction of the spring piece 100, and ensuring good power supply efficiency.
[0040] It should be noted that, to ensure insulation performance, the entire bracket 10 is made of plastic. Plastic not only provides good insulation but is also inexpensive and easy to process into pre-defined shapes, thereby effectively reducing manufacturing costs and difficulty. Furthermore, the flexibility of plastic effectively prevents wear on the spring 100 during installation and use, thus extending its service life.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the baffle assembly 20 also includes a spacer 24, which, together with the first baffle 21, can form a limiting space 23, and the spacer 24, together with the second baffle 22, can also form a limiting space 23. In this structure, by providing the spacer 24, the number of limiting spaces 23 can be increased, thereby enabling the installation of multiple spring clips 100.
[0042] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple partition plates 24 are added along the length of the base 10, and each pair of adjacent partition plates 24 can form a limiting space 23. This arrangement can further increase the number of limiting spaces 23, thereby increasing the number of spring pieces 100 that can be installed, ensuring good performance.
[0043] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 have the same height, and both are greater than the height of the spacer 24. This arrangement can protect the spring 100 at the edge of the base, thereby preventing the spring 100 at the edge from contacting other components. This not only prevents short circuits but also reduces wear on the spring 100.
[0044] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the multiple limiting spaces 23 have the same width, and each limiting space 23 is provided with a rib 30. The same width of the multiple limiting spaces 23 ensures the aesthetics of the structure and facilitates the installation of the spring 100. The rib 30 provided in each limiting space 23 ensures that each limiting space 23 has corresponding structural support, thereby ensuring that the first baffle 21, the second baffle 22, and each partition plate 24 can be supported by the rib 30. This effectively avoids the situation where the first baffle 21, the second baffle 22, or the partition plate 24 bends, causing the width of the limiting space 23 to decrease. This fully ensures the structural strength of the baffle assembly 20 and ensures that the spring 100 can always complete elastic expansion and contraction within the limiting space 23.
[0045] It should be noted here that, as Figure 2As shown, the rib 30 can divide each limiting space 23 into two subspaces of different sizes, and the spring piece 100 includes three bends 110, one of which is placed in the smaller subspace and the other two bends 110 are placed in the larger subspace.
[0046] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple limiting spaces 23 all penetrate the base 10 vertically. This arrangement not only effectively reduces the overall weight of the bracket, but the holes on the base 10 that communicate with the limiting spaces 23 can also accommodate the bent portion 110 of the spring piece 100, preventing the bent portion 110 of the spring piece 100 from rubbing against the bottom of the base 10 when the spring piece 100 is deformed, thereby extending the service life of the spring piece 100.
[0047] While making the base 10 a hollow structure can reduce weight, it also reduces its structural strength, which may cause deformation of the first baffle 21 or the second baffle 22. To solve this problem, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing rib 11 is provided on one side of the base 10 along its width direction, and the reinforcing rib 11 extends along the length direction of the base 10. This arrangement ensures that the first baffle 21 and the partition plate 24, two adjacent partition plates 24, and the partition plate 24 and the second baffle 22 are all supported by the reinforcing rib 11, thereby further improving the fixing effect of the base 10 on the first baffle 21, the second baffle 22, and the multiple partition plates 24, thus effectively preventing the first baffle 21, the second baffle 22, or the multiple partition plates 24 from bending due to increased use time.
[0048] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing rib 11 is located on the side farther away from the rib 30. This arrangement ensures that both ends of the first baffle 21, the second baffle 22, and the multiple spacers 24 are well supported, preventing bending deformation after use.
[0049] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple fixing plates 25 are provided on the side of the base 10 away from the reinforcing rib 11, which are connected to the multiple spacers 24. Since the reinforcing rib 11 can only reinforce one side of the multiple spacers 24, the first baffle 21, and the second baffle 22, while the rib 30 can support the middle of the multiple spacers 24, the first baffle 21, and the second baffle 22, and the fixing plates 25 can reinforce one side of the multiple spacers 24, the first baffle 21, and the second baffle 22, the support and fixing effect can be comprehensively improved, effectively preventing bending due to increased use time.
[0050] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 11 and the main body of the base 10 are integrally formed, and the base 10, rib 30, first baffle 21, second baffle 22, multiple spacers 24, and multiple fixing plates 25 are all integrally formed. Since the bracket is made of plastic, its good plasticity can significantly reduce the processing difficulty.
[0051] To further avoid deformation, such as Figure 1 As shown, mounting plates 26 are provided between adjacent fixing plates 25, between fixing plate 25 and the first baffle 21, and between fixing plate 25 and the second baffle 22. The mounting plates 26 have mounting holes 261. When the spring piece 100 is placed within the limiting space 23, one end of the spring piece 100 can pass through the mounting hole 261. In this structure, the mounting plates 26 further reinforce the connection between the first baffle 21, the fixing plate 25, and the second baffle 22, thereby further preventing the first baffle 21, the second baffle 22, and the spacer 24 from deforming from one side of the fixing plate 25. Simultaneously, the mounting holes 261 ensure that the end of the spring piece 100 can smoothly pass through the mounting plates 26, thus ensuring convenient installation.
[0052] It should be noted that the fixing plate 25 has snap-fit grooves on both sides, and the mounting plate 26 can be snapped into the snap-fit grooves to form a detachable connection. The detachable connection method can effectively improve the efficiency of subsequent parts replacement and maintenance.
[0053] This embodiment also provides an electronic connector, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the electronic connector includes a spring contact 100, a housing 200, and the aforementioned bracket. The spring contact 100 is installed within the limiting space 23 of the bracket, and the housing 200 covers the outer periphery of the bracket. Both ends of the spring contact 100 can extend out of the housing 200 for connecting to a battery or workpiece. By using the aforementioned bracket, the electronic connector can effectively prevent the bracket from bending, thereby ensuring that the spring contact 100 can smoothly extend, retract, and deform.
[0054] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the outer periphery of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 of the bracket is provided with protrusions 27, which can be engaged with the outer casing 200 to form a detachable connection. This design can effectively improve the efficiency of subsequent parts replacement and maintenance.
[0055] In summary, the bracket in this embodiment can solve the problem of easy deformation of the first baffle 21, the second baffle 22, and the spacer 24 after prolonged use, thereby ensuring that the spring 100 can extend and retract normally. The electronic connector using this bracket can guarantee power supply efficiency and a good user experience.
[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
