[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connector technology, and in particular to an electrical connector. Background technology:

[0002] Currently, traditional electrical connectors generally use a male-female mating method to achieve electrical connection. However, if electrical connectors use this traditional male-female mating method to achieve electrical connection between each connector, it is not only necessary to produce two sets of male and female electrical connectors separately, but also to develop two sets of molds for producing the male and female electrical connectors. Moreover, there are limitations, namely, it is not possible to achieve electrical connection between the two electrical connectors of any two connectors, which limits its use. Utility Model Content:

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electrical connector that addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies. The electrical connector is not male or female, and only one set of electrical connector molds needs to be developed, which can save costs, facilitate production, and eliminate limitations. The two electrical connectors of any two electrical connectors can be mated and electrically connected. It can achieve automatic alignment between the two electrical connectors and prevent misconnection, making it more suitable for various applications.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an electrical connector, comprising a plurality of electrical connectors, each of the electrical connectors comprising a conductive part, a plurality of S-pole magnetic attracting ends, and a plurality of N-pole magnetic attracting ends that can magnetically attract each other with the S-pole magnetic attracting ends. The number of N-pole magnetic attracting ends is the same as that of S-pole magnetic attracting ends. The S-pole magnetic attracting ends and the N-pole magnetic attracting ends are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the outer or inner side of the conductive part.

[0005] A further improvement to the above solution is that a soft rubber sealing ring is provided on the outside of the conductive part, and the soft rubber sealing ring is located at the front end of each S pole magnetic attraction end and each N pole magnetic attraction end.

[0006] A further improvement to the above solution is that the conductive part includes a conductive post.

[0008] A further improvement to the above solution is that the conductive post includes a retractable conductive front end, a conductive rear end, and a compression spring sandwiched between the conductive front end and the conductive rear end.

[0009] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the conductive post includes a positive electrode branch post and a negative electrode branch post, the positive electrode branches of each electrical connector are connected together, and the negative electrode branches of each electrical connector are connected together.

[0010] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the conductive post further includes an insulating portion disposed between the positive electrode post and the negative electrode post.

[0012] A further improvement to the above scheme is that there are two S-pole magnetic attraction ends and two N-pole magnetic attraction ends, with the two S-pole magnetic attraction ends symmetrically distributed with the center of the circle as the midpoint, and the two N-pole magnetic attraction ends symmetrically distributed with the center of the circle as the midpoint.

[0013] A further improvement to the above scheme is that both the S-pole magnetic attraction end and the N-pole magnetic attraction end are quarter-circular rings.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an electrical connector, including a plurality of electrical connectors, each of which includes a conductive part, a plurality of S-pole magnetic attracting ends, and a plurality of N-pole magnetic attracting ends that can magnetically attract each other with the S-pole magnetic attracting ends.

The S-pole magnetic attracting ends and the N-pole magnetic attracting ends are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the outer or inner side of the conductive part.

[0015] Compared to existing traditional electrical connectors where male and female connectors need to be distinguished, this invention simultaneously sets an S-pole magnetic end and an N-pole magnetic end that can magnetically attract the S-pole magnetic end.

Insulating part; 14. Detailed implementation method:

[0023] Example 1, as Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model includes several electrical connectors 1, each of which includes a conductive part 2, several S-pole magnetic terminals 3, and several N-pole magnetic terminals 4 that can magnetically attract the S-pole magnetic terminals 3. The number of N-pole magnetic terminals 4 is the same as that of S-pole magnetic terminals 3. The S-pole magnetic terminals 3 and N-pole magnetic terminals 4 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the outer or inner side of the conductive part 2. Compared with the existing traditional electrical connectors where the electrical connectors 1 need to distinguish between male and female, this utility model, by simultaneously setting the S-pole magnetic terminals 3 and the N-pole magnetic terminals 4 that can magnetically attract the S-pole magnetic terminals 3, eliminates the need for male and female electrical connectors 1. Only one set of electrical connector 1 molds needs to be developed, which can save costs, facilitate production, and eliminate the limitation problem. The two electrical connectors 1 of any two electrical connectors can be mated and electrically connected, enabling automatic alignment between the two electrical connectors 1 and preventing misconnection. This makes it more suitable for various applications.

[0024] Each of the S-pole magnetic terminals 3 and each of the N-pole magnetic terminals 4 has the same shape and size, which can be better used for mutual alignment and magnetic connection between the two electrical connectors 1.

[0025] A soft rubber sealing ring 5 is provided on the outside of the conductive part 2. The soft rubber sealing ring 5 is located at the front end of each S pole magnetic attraction end 3 and each N pole magnetic attraction end 4. When the two electrical connectors 1 are magnetically connected as one unit, the soft rubber sealing rings 5 ​​located on the two electrical connectors 1 are squeezed against each other under the force generated by the magnetic force to achieve the sealing effect, thereby reducing the oxidation of the conductive part 2 and avoiding the risk of creepage caused by large current.

[0026] The conductive part 2 includes a conductive post 6, through which the circuit is connected. The whole is more resistant to voltage and can be better used to carry large currents, making it more practical. The conductive post 6 includes a positive terminal post 12 and a negative terminal post 13. The positive terminal post 12 and the negative terminal post 13 cooperate to form a closed loop circuit. The positive terminal post 12 of each electrical connector 1 is connected, and the negative terminal post 13 of each electrical connector 1 is connected.

[0027] The conductive post 6 also includes an insulating part 14 disposed between the positive electrode post 12 and the negative electrode post 13. The insulating part 14 can better separate the positive electrode post 12 and the negative electrode post 13 and avoid mutual interference.

[0028] Compared to electrical connector 1, which only has one S-pole magnetic end 3 and one N-pole magnetic end 4, resulting in only one magnetic alignment connection between the two electrical connectors 1, this embodiment has two S-pole magnetic ends 3 and two N-pole magnetic ends 4. The two S-pole magnetic ends 3 are symmetrically distributed with the center of the circle as the midpoint, and the two N-pole magnetic ends 4 are symmetrically distributed with the center of the circle as the midpoint. Both S-pole magnetic ends 3 and N-pole magnetic ends 4 are quarter-circular. The two electrical connectors 1 have two magnetic alignment connection possibilities, thus enabling the two electrical connectors 1 to achieve magnetic alignment connection with a small rotation angle, making it more practical.

[0029] Example 2, as Figure 3 As shown, the electrical connector 1 in this embodiment can also be provided with only one S-pole magnetic terminal 3 and one N-pole magnetic terminal 4.

[0030] Example 3, as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the front end of the conductive post 6 is formed with a plurality of conductive protrusions 7 and a plurality of conductive grooves 8 that cooperate with the conductive protrusions 7. The number of conductive grooves 8 is the same as the number of conductive protrusions 7. When the two electrical connectors 1 are magnetically connected as one unit, the conductive protrusions 7 of the conductive posts 6 of the two electrical connectors 1 are respectively inserted into the conductive grooves 8 of the other electrical connector 1. By setting the conductive protrusions 7 and conductive grooves 8, it is not only easier to align and connect the conductive posts 6 of the two electrical connectors 1, but also to increase the contact area of ​​the conductive posts 6 of the two electrical connectors 1, thereby enabling better high-current electrical connection. Of course, if the current requirement is not large, the conductive post 6 does not need to be set with conductive protrusions 7 and conductive grooves 8, and a flat surface is sufficient.

[0031] Example 4, as Figures 5-6As shown, the conductive post 6 in this embodiment includes a retractable conductive front end 9, a conductive rear end 10, and a compression spring 11 sandwiched between the conductive front end 9 and the conductive rear end 10. The compression spring 11 pushes the conductive front end 9 of the conductive post 6 forward. When the two electrical connectors 1 are magnetically connected as one unit, the conductive front ends 9 of the conductive posts 6 of the two electrical connectors 1 are squeezed against each other, which can better ensure the stable contact and electrical connection between the two conductive posts 6.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] The S-pole magnetic terminals 3 and N-pole magnetic terminals 4 of one electrical connector 1 are aligned and magnetically connected with the N-pole magnetic terminals 4 and S-pole magnetic terminals 3 of another electrical connector 1 according to the logic that S-pole magnetic terminal 3 corresponds to N-pole magnetic terminal 4 and N-pole magnetic terminal 4 corresponds to S-pole magnetic terminal 3, respectively. This completes the docking and electrical connection of the two electrical connectors 1. Compared with the existing traditional electrical connectors where the electrical connectors 1 need to distinguish between male and female, this utility model, by simultaneously setting S-pole magnetic terminals 3 and N-pole magnetic terminals 4 that can magnetically attract with S-pole magnetic terminals 3, eliminates the male and female distinction of electrical connectors 1. Only one set of electrical connector 1 molds needs to be developed, which can save costs, facilitate production, and eliminate the limitation problem. The two electrical connectors 1 of any two electrical connectors can be docked and electrically connected. It can realize automatic alignment between the two electrical connectors 1 and prevent misconnection, making it more suitable for various application scenarios.

[0034] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
