[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a headphone terminal interface structure for connecting device terminals, including a housing 11 with a built-in cavity, and a boss seat 12 with an opening formed at one end of the housing 11.
[0028] The lead wire mechanism includes a cable rack 21 disposed in the cavity of the housing 11. The end face of the cable rack 21 facing the boss seat 12 is formed with a contact piece 22, and the other end is connected to a cable 23 that passes through the housing 11.
[0029] The self-locking mechanism includes a self-locking knob 31, one end of which is formed with a rotating rod 32 that penetrates the housing 11, and the lower part of the rotating rod 32 is formed with an outwardly protruding self-locking clip 33.
[0030] The interface mechanism includes an interface end seat 41 disposed between the housing 11 and the cable 23. A centering platform 42 is disposed in the middle of the interface end seat 41. Interface plates 43 with the same slot specifications as the boss seat 12 are formed at both ends of the centering platform 42. Several pin slots 44 are provided on the interface plates 43.
[0031] It should be noted that the contact piece 22, the rotating rod 32 and the centering platform 42 are coaxially arranged. The rotating rod 32 passes through the through hole in the middle of the boss seat 12. During the process of the rotating rod 32 passing through the boss seat 12, the contact piece 22 and the centering platform 42 are fixed at the center position of the boss seat 12.
[0032] In this embodiment, the headphone socket is improved. The interface socket 41 adopts a dual interface board 43 design. The interface board 43 is divided into an analog signal board (left / right channel) and a digital signal board (power supply + data). When connected to the device terminal, signal isolation is achieved through the partitioned wiring of the contact piece 23, reducing electromagnetic interference so that the headphones can be used normally. The pins of the device terminal are connected to the contact piece 22 after passing through the pin slot 44, and the audio signal is stably transmitted to the headphones through the connection structure.
[0033] When the self-locking knob 31 is rotated, the rotating rod 32 causes the self-locking clip 33 to expand outward and lock into the groove of the device terminal to form a mechanical interlock. To release the lock, the knob needs to be rotated in the opposite direction and an axial pulling force needs to be applied to prevent the headphone connector from detaching from the device terminal.
[0034] To further protect the cable 23, a cable sheath 13 connected to the housing 11 is provided around the cable 23. The cable sheath 13 has anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture is designed to prevent slipping when gripping the cable and to reduce damage to the cable 23 when bending it.
[0035] To facilitate heat dissipation at the contact assembly, a gap is left between the interface end 41 and the contact piece 22, and the protruding section of the centering platform 42 is attached to the contact piece 22. The centering platform 42 is always attached to the contact piece 22, establishing a conductive structure as an aid for audio signal transmission.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the pin slot 44 on the interface board 43 has an inverted conical structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. When the pin is inserted into the pin slot 44, the pin is automatically guided and corrected to avoid poor contact caused by pin misalignment.
[0037] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
