Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A screen connector is a key component used to connect a screen to a circuit board or other devices. It plays a vital role in transmitting signals and power. As the name suggests, a screen connector is an interface or component that connects a screen to other electronic devices. Based on its structure, application, and the type of signal it transmits, screen connectors can be categorized into various types, such as board-to-board connectors, flexible circuit board connectors, HDMI connectors, VGA connectors, DP connectors, and Type-C to HDMI / VGA connectors.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese utility model patent application, CN 212517702 U, published on February 9, 2021, which proposed an HDMI connector interface. The application describes a protective mechanism comprising a protective plate, L-shaped plates fixedly connected to both sides of the front of the inner wall of the housing, and a first spring fixedly connected to the front of each L-shaped plate. The end of the first spring furthest from the L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the back of the protective plate. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the periphery of the protective plate. By installing the protective plate at the connector interface, when the connector interface is not in use, the protective plate seals the interface, preventing dust and water from entering, thus improving the safety of the HDMI connector interface and extending its service life.

[0004] However, the protective mechanism in the above technical solution has poor protection effect. It only protects the connector interface and prevents dust, but does not protect the connector itself. This will cause the connector to deform when it is subjected to collision and pressure when it is not in use, resulting in the inability to install it when needed and affecting the service life of the connector.

[0005] A screen interface connector is proposed for this purpose. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a screen interface connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A screen interface connector includes a plug body and a protective cover. A support slide rod is fixed on the upper and lower sides of the plug body. The protective cover is sleeved on the outside of the plug body. Two dustproof baffles are installed on one side of the protective cover via hinges. A first spring is sleeved on the outside of the support slide rod. A fixing component is fixed on each side of the protective cover. A limiting plate is welded on each side of the plug body. A limiting hole is opened inside the limiting plate. A wire is installed on one end of the plug body. A plug terminal is provided on one end of the plug body.

[0007] Preferably, a protective groove is provided on one side of the protective cover, and the protective groove extends into the interior of the protective cover. Two sliding holes are provided on one side of the protective cover, and the two sliding holes are respectively slidably fitted on the outside of the support slide rod.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the protective cover is fixed with a second fixing point, and a first fixing block is fixed on one side of the dustproof baffle, and a tension spring connects the first fixing block and the second fixing point.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing component includes a fixing seat, and a movable groove is provided on one side of the fixing seat, and a bottom column is fixed inside the movable groove.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting plate is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the bottom column, and one side of the limiting plate is sloped.

[0011] Preferably, a second spring is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom column, and a control rod is fixed on one side of the limiting plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a screen interface connector, which has the following advantages:

[0013] Because a protective cover is slidably fitted on the outside of the plug body, the cover can slide to protect one side of the plug body. This prevents the plug terminals on one side of the plug body from being deformed by external objects when not in use. When needed, the plug terminals on one side of the plug body can be slid out of the cover by sliding the protective cover. When not in use, this screen connector can effectively protect the front interface, protecting it from dust in the outside air and the entire outside of the interface, preventing deformation and damage that could render the interface unusable, thus extending the connector's lifespan.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1: A support slide rod 5 is fixed on the upper and lower sides of the plug body 1 respectively. A protective cover 3 is sleeved on the outside of the plug body 1. Two dustproof baffles 10 are installed on one side of the protective cover 3 through a hinge. A first spring 6 is sleeved on the outside of the support slide rod 5. A fixing component 2 is fixed on both sides of the protective cover 3 respectively. A limiting plate 7 is welded on both sides of the plug body 1. A limiting hole 9 is opened inside the limiting plate 7. A wire 8 is installed on one end of the plug body 1. A plug terminal 4 is provided on one end of the plug body 1.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a protective cover 3 is slidably fitted on the outer side of the plug body 1, allowing the protective cover 3 to slide on the outer side of the plug body 1. A support slide rod 5 is fixed to each side of the plug body 1, ensuring the stability of the protective cover 3 as it slides on the outer side of the plug body 1. Simultaneously, a first spring 6 is fitted on the outer side of the support slide rod 5, allowing the protective cover 3 to be pushed to one side of the plug body 1 by the rebound force of the first spring 6, thus protecting one side of the entire plug body 1. This prevents the plug terminal 4 on one side of the plug body 1 from being deformed by external objects when the plug body 1 is not in use. When needed, the plug terminal 4 on one side of the plug body 1 can be slid out of the protective cover 3 for use. This screen connector effectively protects the front interface when not in use, protecting not only from dust in the outside air but also from the entire outer side of the interface, thus improving the connector's lifespan.

[0023] Example 2: A protective groove 302 is provided on one side of the protective cover 3, and the protective groove 302 extends into the interior of the protective cover 3. Two sliding holes 301 are provided on one side of the protective cover 3, and the two sliding holes 301 are respectively slidably sleeved on the outside of the support slide rod 5. A second fixing point 13 is fixed on the inner wall of the protective cover 3, and a first fixing block 11 is fixed on one side of the dust baffle 10. A tension spring 12 is connected between the first fixing block 11 and the second fixing point 13. The fixing component 2 includes a fixing seat 201, and a movable groove 202 is provided on one side of the fixing seat 201. A bottom column 203 is fixed inside the movable groove 202. A limiting plate 205 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the bottom column 203, and one side of the limiting plate 205 is sloped. A second spring 204 is sleeved on the outside of the bottom column 203, and a control rod 206 is fixed on one side of the limiting plate 205.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, during use, by pulling the protective cover 3 backward, the protective cover 3 slides backward along the outer side of the two support slide rods 5. Since one side of the protective cover 3 is connected to two dustproof baffles 10 by hinges, and one side of the two dustproof baffles 10 is connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 3 by tension springs 12, when the entire protective cover 3 moves, one side of the two dustproof baffles 10 will be squeezed by the side of the plug terminal 4, thus unfolding and stretching the tension spring 12, thereby exposing the plug terminal 4 for connection. Since a fixing component 2 is fixed on each side of the protective cover 3, when the fixing component 2 slides to the side of the limiting plate 7, it will be limited and connected with the limiting hole 9 opened inside the limiting plate 7. Since a bottom column 203 is fixed inside the movable groove 202, and a limiting insert 205 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the bottom column 203, and one side of the limiting insert 205 is sloped, when the limiting plate 205 is sloping, the limiting insert 205 will be connected to the limiting plate 7. When one side of the insertion plate 205 is pressed by the side of the limiting plate 7, it will move into the movable groove 202 along the installation direction of the bottom post 203, and at the same time compress the second spring 204. When one side of the limiting plate 205 moves to the side of the limiting hole 9, the compressed second spring 204 will pop out the limiting plate 205 and insert it into the inside of the limiting hole 9. At this time, the protective cover 3 will be restricted and fixed between the two limiting plates 7, thereby ensuring normal connection of the connector. When not in use, by pressing the control rod 206 fixed on one side of the two limiting plates 205, the limiting plate 205 can be disengaged from the inside of the limiting hole 9. At this time, the compressed first spring 6 will rebound, thereby pushing the protective cover 3 to one side of the plug body 1. The stretched tension spring 12 will also generate tension, thereby pulling the dustproof baffle 10 back to one side of the protective cover 3, sealing one side of the protective cover 3 for dust protection.

[0025] Working principle: In use, by pulling the protective cover 3 backward, the protective cover 3 slides backward along the outside of the two support slide rods 5. When the entire protective cover 3 moves, one side of the two dustproof baffles 10 will be squeezed by the side of the plug terminal 4, thus unfolding and stretching the tension spring 12, thereby exposing the plug terminal 4 for connection. When the fixing component 2 slides to the side of the limiting plate 7, it will be limited and connected with the limiting hole 9 opened inside the limiting plate 7, so that the protective cover 3 will be restricted and fixed between the two limiting plates 7, thereby ensuring normal connection of the connector. When not in use, by pressing the control rod 206 fixed on one side of the two limiting inserts 205, the limiting inserts 205 are controlled to disengage from the inside of the limiting hole 9. At this time, the first spring 6 under compression will rebound, thereby pushing the protective cover 3 to one side of the plug body 1. The stretched tension spring 12 will also generate tension, thereby pulling the dustproof baffle 10 back to one side of the protective cover 3, sealing one side of the protective cover 3 for dust protection.

[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
