[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An embodiment of this utility model provides an electronic connector with controllable insertion and extraction force, comprising a housing 3, with electromagnets 12 fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the housing 3, a controller 4 provided on the front side of the housing 3, an adjustment button 8 provided on the front side of the controller 4, a plug 13 provided on the lower side of the housing 3, a socket 6 slidably connected to the outer wall of the plug 13, permanent magnets 18 provided on both the left and right sides of the socket 6, the lower side of the electromagnet 12 and the upper side of the permanent magnet 18 being attached, the upper side of the socket 6 and the lower side of the housing 3 being attached, and the electromagnets 12 and the adjustment button 8 being electrically connected to the controller 4.
[0024] In this embodiment, Figure 1 The directions are front, back, left, and right. Specifically, when using this device, by sliding the adjustment button 8 to the right, the controller 4 supplies power to the electromagnet 12, thereby generating an attractive force between the lower side of the electromagnet 12 and the upper side of the permanent magnet 18; by adjusting the distance the button 8 slides to the right, the power of the electromagnet 12 is changed, thereby changing the magnitude of the attractive force between the electromagnet 12 and the permanent magnet 18; this causes the socket 6 and the housing 3 to fit together, thus completing the connection and fixation between the plug 13 and the socket 6.
[0025] When a disconnection operation is required, move the adjustment button 8 to the left. This changes the direction of the power supply current to the electromagnet 12 via the controller 4, creating a repulsive force between the lower side of the electromagnet 12 and the upper side of the permanent magnet 18. Continuing to move the adjustment button 8 to the left further increases this repulsive force, causing the plug 13 to separate from the socket 6. This solves the problem of excessive insertion and removal force damaging the connector itself or connected equipment, thus reducing the lifespan of the equipment.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Electromagnetic housings 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of housing 3, and electromagnets 12 are disposed inside electromagnetic housings 11. Magnet housings 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of socket 6, and permanent magnets 18 are disposed inside magnet housings 5.
[0027] Specifically, the electromagnetic housing 11 protects the electromagnet 12, preventing it from being exposed. The magnet housing 5 protects and separates the permanent magnet 18, preventing it from attracting external metal materials, generating debris, and affecting the operation of the device. It also prevents damage to the electromagnet 12 during insertion and removal, thereby helping to improve the service life of the device.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The outer wall of the electromagnet 12 passes through the lower side of the electromagnetic housing 11. A magnet groove 17 is provided on the upper side of the magnet housing 5. The permanent magnet 18 is disposed on the lower side of the magnet groove 17. The inner wall of the magnet groove 17 and the outer wall of the electromagnet 12 are slidably connected.
[0029] Specifically, the sliding connection between the magnet slot 17 and the lower side of the electromagnet 12 allows the lower side of the electromagnet 12 to slide into the magnet slot 17 and adhere to the permanent magnet 18 when the plug 13 and the socket 6 are connected, thus improving the robustness of the device.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 The controller 4 has an adjustment groove 9 on its front side. The adjustment button 8 passes through the adjustment groove 9, and the side wall of the adjustment button 8 and the inner side wall of the adjustment groove 9 are slidably connected left and right.
[0031] Specifically, the adjustment slot 9 allows the adjustment button 8 to slide left and right on the front side of the controller 4, which helps to realize the function of adjusting the left and right of the adjustment button 8.
[0032] Reference Figure 3 The plug 13 has a guide groove 15 on its lower side, and the plug 13 has a pin 14 inside. The guide groove 15 is located on the lower side of the pin 14. The socket 6 has an electrical connection plate 16 on its inner bottom wall. The side wall of the electrical connection plate 16 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the pin 14.
[0033] Specifically, the controller 4 is powered by the power supply line 2, which enables the controller 4 to control the power supply to the electromagnet 12. When the plug 13 and the socket 6 are connected, the electrical connection plate 16 slides into the pin 2 14 through the guide groove 15, so that the electrical connection plate 16 and the pin 2 14 are smoothly connected and fixed, thereby realizing the connection function of the two devices.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A wire clamp 1 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the housing 3. A power supply line 2 is provided on the upper side of the wire clamp 1. The side wall of the power supply line 2 passes through the wire clamp 1, and the lower end of the power supply line 2 is electrically connected to pin 14 and controller 4.
[0035] Specifically, the current is transmitted through the power supply line 2 to pin 14, and then through pin 14 to the electrical connection board 16; the power supply line 2 is fixed by the wire clamp 1, so that the electrical connection points inside the device will not loosen due to repeated plugging and unplugging during use, thus affecting the use.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The socket 6 has a pin 7 on its lower side. The outer wall of the electrical connection plate 16 passes through the lower side of the socket 6, and the upper end of the pin 7 is electrically connected to the electrical connection plate 16.
[0037] Specifically, after the socket 6 and plug 13 are connected and fixed, the current is transmitted to pin 7 through the electrical connection plate 16, and then the current is transmitted to the inside of the device by pin 7, thus completing the current transmission work.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 A switch button 10 is provided on the side of the electromagnet 12 away from the housing 3. The side wall of the switch button 10 passes through the electromagnetic housing 11. The switch button 10, the controller 4, and the electromagnet 12 are all electrically connected.
[0039] Specifically, when using the device, after adjusting the adjustment button 8, press the switch button 10 to supply power to the electromagnet 12; when disconnecting the electrical connection plate 16 and the plug 13, press the switch button 10 again to disconnect the power supply to the electromagnet 12, so that the electromagnet 12 is in a non-magnetic state, reducing energy waste and improving the safety of the device.
[0040] Working principle: When using this device, the power supply line 2 is fixed by the wire clamp 1; the power supply line 2 supplies power to the controller 4 and pin 14; press the switch button 10, and slide the adjustment button 8 to the right through the adjustment groove 9, so that the controller 4 supplies power to the electromagnet 12, thereby generating an attraction between the electromagnet 12 and the permanent magnet 18; by adjusting the distance the adjustment button 8 slides to the right, the power of the electromagnet 12 is changed, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the attraction between the electromagnet 12 and the permanent magnet 18; insert the plug 13 into the socket 6, so that the electrical connection plate 16 slides into the pin 14 through the guide groove 15 and connects with the pin 14; thereby making the upper side of the socket 6 fit against the lower side of the housing 3, thus completing the connection and fixation between the electronic connectors.
[0041] When a disconnection operation is required, slide the adjustment button 8 to the left. This changes the direction of the power supply current to the electromagnet 12 via the controller 4, creating a repulsive force between the electromagnet 12 and the permanent magnet 18. Continuing to move the adjustment button 8 to the left increases this repulsive force, causing the plug 13 to separate from the electrical connection plate 16. Pressing the switch button 10 again disconnects the power supply from the controller 4 to the electromagnet 12. This solves the problem of excessive insertion / removal force damaging the connector itself or connected equipment, thus reducing the equipment's lifespan.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
