Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to a floating connector terminal. Background Technology
[0002] Floating connectors are widely used in many scenarios because they can move within a certain range. A floating connector includes an assembly component, a moving component, and an elastic component that connects the two. The conventional structure of the elastic component includes a ring and a cantilever inside the ring. The ring is located outside the moving component. When the moving component moves to one side of the elastic component, the other side of the elastic component will droop down due to lack of support or insufficient support. This will affect the pushback of the moving component and the subsequent use effect. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a floating connection terminal.
[0004] The present invention discloses a floating connection terminal, comprising: a carrier, a floating member, and a first conductive member. The carrier has a receiving groove, and the floating member is slidably disposed in the receiving groove. The first conductive member includes a support ring and an elastic sheet. The support ring is sleeved on the floating member, and the elastic sheet is disposed on the outer periphery of the support ring. The elastic sheet is located between the carrier and the floating member, and abuts against the carrier and the floating member.
[0005] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic sheet includes a plurality of first elastic sheets and a plurality of second elastic sheets, which are respectively arranged alternately on the outer periphery of the support ring.
[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first spring has a first contact arc surface, which abuts against one of the carrier or the floating member.
[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second spring has a second contact arc surface that protrudes in the opposite direction to the first contact arc surface, and the second contact arc surface abuts against the other of the carrier or the floating member.
[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are two first conductive elements, which are located on two opposite side walls of the receiving groove, and a floating element is located between the two first conductive elements. Both first conductive elements abut against the bearing element and the floating element.
[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the floating component includes a connecting body and a movable body. The bearing component also has a first through hole. The connecting body is movably disposed in the first through hole. The movable body is disposed on the outer periphery of the connecting body and is slidably disposed in the receiving groove. The support ring is sleeved on the connecting body and is located on the surface of the movable body. The elastic sheet abuts against the bearing component and the floating component.
[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a second conductive member, the connecting body having a second through hole, and the second conductive member being disposed within the second through hole.
[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a fixing member, which is snapped into the second conductive member and the connecting body.
[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first conductive element is made of a material with high conductivity and high yield strength.
[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second conductive element is made of a material with high conductivity and high yield strength.
[0014] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that by sleeved the support ring on the floating member, the floating member provides support for the support ring. The support ring moves synchronously with the movement of the floating member, and the two remain in a relatively fixed state. Therefore, no matter where the floating member moves, the support ring is always supported by the floating member. Thus, the support ring and the elastic sheet can avoid the phenomenon of drooping downwards, thereby greatly stabilizing the movement effect of the floating member and reducing the impact on the subsequent use of the floating connection terminal.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of a floating connection terminal; Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a floating connection terminal. Figure 3 This is a split view of the floating connection terminal. The floating connection terminal includes a carrier 1, a floating component 2, and a first conductive component 3. The floating component 2 is disposed on the carrier 1 and can move relative to the carrier 1. The first conductive component 3 is disposed between the carrier 1 and the floating component 2. In other words, the carrier 1 and the floating component 2 can conduct current through the first conductive component 3.
[0030] The support member 1 has a receiving groove 11, the floating member 2 can move within the receiving groove 11, and the first guiding member 3 is located within the receiving groove 11 and abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove 11. Furthermore, the support member 1 also has a first through hole 12, which is opened along the axial direction of the support member 1 and communicates with the receiving groove 11.
[0031] The floating component 2 includes a connecting body 21 and a movable body 22. The connecting body 21 is located within the first through hole 12 and can move within the first through hole 12. It is understood that the inner diameter of the first through hole 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting body 21, allowing the connecting body 21 to move within the first through hole 12. The movable body 22 is disposed on the outer periphery of the connecting body 21, is located within the receiving groove 11, and can move within the receiving groove 11. The first conductive component 3 is located between the movable body 22 and the side wall of the receiving groove 11.
[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the first conductive element 3; Figure 5 This is another three-dimensional structural diagram of the second conductive element 4. The first conductive element 3 includes a support ring 31 and an elastic piece 32. The support ring 31 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting body 21 and is located on the surface of the movable body 22. The elastic piece 32 is disposed on the outer periphery of the support ring 31. The movable body 22 is connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 11 through the elastic piece 32. The elastic piece 32 includes a plurality of first spring pieces 321 and a plurality of second spring pieces 322. The plurality of first spring pieces 321 and the plurality of second spring pieces 322 are all spaced apart on the outer periphery of the support ring 31, and the plurality of first spring pieces 321 and the plurality of second spring pieces 322 are interleaved, that is, there is a second spring piece 322 between two adjacent first spring pieces 321. Furthermore, the first spring piece 321 has a first contact arc surface 3211, and the second spring piece 322 has a second contact arc surface 3221. The first contact arc surface 3211 and the second contact arc surface 3221 protrude in opposite directions. In this embodiment, the first contact arc surface 3211 of the first spring piece 321 protrudes towards the side wall of the receiving groove 11, that is, the first contact arc surface 3211 abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove 11; the second contact arc surface 3221 of the second spring piece 322 extends towards the moving body 22, that is, the second contact arc surface 3221 abuts against the surface of the moving body 22. In this way, not only can the contact points of the first conductive member 3 between the side wall of the receiving groove 11 and the moving body 22 be increased to improve the current conduction effect, but it can also play a foolproof role, that is, during assembly, there is no need to distinguish between the front and back sides of the first conductive member 3, and the first conductive member 3 can be directly put onto the connecting body 21, which is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency.
[0033] Preferably, there are two first conductive elements 3, which are located on two opposite sides of the receiving groove 11. After the movable body 22 is inserted, the two first conductive elements 3 are located on two sides of the movable body 22, and both first conductive elements 3 abut against the side wall of the corresponding receiving groove 11 and the surface of the movable body 22. This further improves the current conduction effect.
[0034] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The floating connector also includes a second conductive member 4. A second through hole 211 is provided axially on the connector 21. The second conductive member 4 is located within the second through hole 211. An external pin is inserted into the second through hole 211 and is connected to the floating member 2 through the second conductive member 4. Furthermore, the floating connector also includes a fixing member 5. The fixing member 5 is snapped onto one end of the movable body 22, forming a snap-fit connection between the fixing member 5, the second conductive member 4, and the movable body 22. The fixing member 5 fixes the second conductive member 4 within the second through hole 211.
[0035] Specifically, since both the first conductive element 3 and the second conductive element 4 have requirements for conductivity and deformation, both the first conductive element 3 and the second conductive element 4 are made of materials with high conductivity and high yield strength.
[0036] In summary, by fitting the support ring 31 onto the floating member 2, the floating member 2 provides support for the support ring 31. The support ring 31 moves synchronously with the floating member 2, and the two remain in a relatively fixed state. Therefore, no matter where the floating member 2 moves, the support ring 31 is always supported by the floating member 2. Thus, the support ring 31 and the elastic sheet 32 can avoid the phenomenon of drooping downwards, thereby greatly stabilizing the movement effect of the floating member 2 and reducing the impact on the subsequent use of the floating connection terminal.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
