Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic connector technology, specifically a snap-on electronic connector. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic connectors are devices used to connect circuits, components, modules, or different electronic devices within electronic equipment to achieve electrical connections (including signal transmission and power supply). Their basic functions include signal transmission: accurately transmitting various types of signals, such as digital signals (e.g., data signals transmitted between components within a computer) and analog signals (e.g., audio signals transmitted between audio equipment, video signals transmitted between video equipment). Different types of electronic connectors are optimized in design to meet different signal transmission requirements; for example, high-speed data transmission connectors prioritize signal integrity and transmission speed. Another basic function is power supply: providing the necessary electrical energy to various parts of the electronic equipment or other connected devices. For example, power connectors connect an external power source to the electronic equipment, delivering electrical energy to the various circuits and components within the equipment to ensure its normal operation; while snap-on electronic connectors are a specific type of electronic connector.

[0003] However, existing snap-fit ​​electronic connectors often have complex structures to achieve a secure connection, and the operation of removing them is complicated, which affects the user experience. Moreover, existing snap-fit ​​electronic connectors lack the function of supporting and positioning the male head. When the male and female heads are connected, the male head will tilt at a certain angle due to its own gravity, resulting in incomplete contact between the conductors and poor contact.

[0004] Therefore, a new type of snap-on electronic connector is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a snap-on electronic connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A snap-on electronic connector includes a male connector, a conductor 1 fixedly connected to the bottom of the male connector, a conductor 2 sleeved on the outer surface of the conductor 1, a female connector fixedly connected to the bottom of the conductor 2, and a device fixedly connected to the bottom of the female connector. The male connector has a symmetrically formed sliding groove 1 inside, and a retaining strip is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 1. The conductor 2 has a symmetrically formed sliding groove 2, and a retaining strip is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 2. A spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 1 near the top, and a retaining strip is fixedly connected to the end of the spring near the retaining strip.

[0008] Preferably, a button is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top of the card strip, and a male head is slidably connected to the outer surface of the button.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the side of the female head near the male head, and the male head is slidably connected to the top of the sealing gasket.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of connecting rods are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top of the male head, and a grounding ring is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the male head.

[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the grounding ring is fixedly connected with several protrusions, and the side of the push block away from the male head is fixedly connected with a protective pad.

[0012] Preferably, a triangular block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the card strip, and a card groove is opened at the bottom of the second slide groove, with the triangular block slidably connected to the inner wall of the card groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This snap-on electronic connector, through the arrangement of a retaining strip, a first slide groove, a second slide groove, a push block, and a spring, allows for easy connection between the male and female connectors. When in use, the male connector is held, the retaining strip is aligned with the second slide groove and pushed in. The second retaining strip slides along the second slide groove until it touches the slot, where the triangular push block engages, ensuring a tight connection between the male and female connectors. To separate the male and female connectors, two fingers press the push block, causing the triangular push block at the bottom of the retaining strip to disengage from the slot. This allows the male connector to be pulled away from the female connector until they are separated. This design achieves a secure connection between the male and female connectors without detachment, and facilitates both insertion and removal.

[0015] This type of snap-on electronic connector, through the setting of a grounding ring, ensures that when the male and female connectors are placed horizontally, after connecting the male and female connectors, the male connector is placed directly on the ground, and the grounding ring contacts the ground. The diameter of the grounding ring is the same as that of the equipment, so that the male and female connectors are always on the same horizontal line, thereby avoiding poor contact due to incorrect insertion angle of the male and female connectors.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A snap-on electronic connector includes a male connector 1, with a conductor 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the male connector 1. A conductor 3 is sleeved on the outer surface of the conductor 2. A female connector 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conductor 3. A device 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the female connector 4. The male connector 1 has symmetrically formed sliding grooves 6 inside, with a retaining strip 7 slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 6. The conductor 2 has symmetrically formed sliding grooves 8 on the conductor 2. The retaining strip 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding grooves 8. A spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding grooves 6 near the top. The retaining strip 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 9 near the retaining strip 7. In use, the male connector 1 is held, the retaining strip 7 is aligned with the sliding groove 8 and pushed in. The retaining strip 7 slides along the sliding groove 8 until it touches the retaining slot 17, where a triangular retaining block 16 engages with the retaining slot 17, and the male connector 1 and female connector 4 are tightly connected. To separate the male connector 1 and female connector, [further details are needed]. At time 4, press down on the button 10 with two fingers. The triangular locking block 16 at the bottom of the locking strip 7 will disengage from the slot 17, pulling the male head 1 away from the female head 4 until the two are separated. This achieves the effect of a firm connection between the male head 1 and the female head 4 without falling off, and convenient insertion and removal. Traditional direct-insertion electronic connectors are the most common, such as the connection of some early audio plugs and sockets. This type of connection is achieved by simply inserting the male head 1 into the socket of the female head 4. There are no additional fixing structures such as snaps, threads, or magnetic attraction. In this case, it is relatively easy for the male head 1 to fall off. Especially when subjected to slight external force pulling, shaking, or movement of the device 5, the male head 1 may slip out of the socket of the female head 4, causing the connection to be interrupted. Therefore, electronic connectors that are firm and prevent falling off after insertion are more effective.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, a button 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top of the clip 7, and a male head 1 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the button 10. When in use, press the button 10 with two fingers, and the triangular clip 16 at the bottom of the clip 7 disengages from the slot 17, pulling the male head 1 away from the female head 4 until the two are separated. The snap-on electronic connector has a more secure effect than the traditional one, but there are more steps to pull it out. Pressing the button 10 can pull out the male head 1, which is simple to operate.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, a sealing gasket 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the female head 4 near the male head 1, and the male head 1 is slidably connected to the top of the sealing gasket 11. When in use, the male head 1 is inserted into the female head 4, and when the bottom end of the male head 1 contacts the female head 4, it first contacts the sealing gasket 11. The sealing gasket 11 is extremely thin, which affects the connection between the male head 1 and the female head 4, and at the same time avoids gaps at the connection between the two, preventing water and dust from entering.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, a plurality of connecting rods 12 are fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the male connector 1. A grounding ring 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 12 away from the male connector 1. In use, if the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 are placed horizontally, after connecting the male connector 1 and the female connector 4, the male connector 1 is placed directly on the ground, and the grounding ring 13 contacts the ground. The diameter of the grounding ring 13 is the same as that of the device 5, so that the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 are always on the same horizontal line, thereby avoiding poor contact due to incorrect insertion angle of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4. At the same time, the annular shape of the grounding ring 13 can provide a larger contact area with the corresponding grounding part. Compared with some conventional shapes such as cylindrical or flat, the entire circumference of the ring can participate in the electrical contact when it contacts other components. This helps to reduce the contact resistance, making the grounding connection more reliable and more effectively conducting static electricity or stray current into the ground, ensuring the normal operation of the electronic device 5 and the stability of signal transmission.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, a plurality of protrusions 14 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the grounding ring 13, and a protective pad 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the block 10 away from the male head 1. In use, if the male head 1 and the female head 4 are placed horizontally, after connecting the male head 1 and the female head 4, the male head 1 is placed directly on the ground, and the grounding ring 13 contacts the ground, so that the male head 1 and the female head 4 are always on the same horizontal line. Any two protrusions 14 can form a stable triangle with the ground, thereby stabilizing the grounding ring 13, and thus stabilizing the male head 1 to prevent it from shifting.

[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, a triangular locking block 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the locking strip 7, and a locking groove 17 is opened at the bottom of the second slide groove 8. The triangular locking block 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the locking groove 17. When in use, hold the male head 1, align the locking strip 7 with the second slide groove 8 and push it in. The second locking strip 7 slides along the second slide groove 8 until it touches the locking groove 17. The triangular locking block 16 is locked into the locking groove 17, and the male head 1 and female head 4 are tightly connected. When it is necessary to separate the male head 1 and the female head 4, press the button 10 with two fingers, and the triangular locking block 16 at the bottom end of the locking strip 7 will disengage from the locking groove 17. Pull the male head 1 away from the female head 4 until the two are separated. The triangular locking block 16 and the locking groove 17 cooperate simply to control the locking and disengagement of the male head 1 and the female head 4. The structure is simple, saves space, and is easy to operate.

[0029] Working principle: In this embodiment of the snap-on electronic connector, when in use, hold the male head 1, align the retaining strip 7 with the slide groove 8 and push it in. The retaining strip 7 slides along the slide groove 8 until it touches the slot 17, and the triangular retaining block 16 engages with the slot 17, so that the male head 1 and the female head 4 are tightly connected. When it is necessary to separate the male head 1 and the female head 4, press the button 10 with two fingers, and the triangular retaining block 16 at the bottom of the retaining strip 7 will disengage from the slot 17. Pull the male head 1 away from the female head 4 until the two are separated. When in use, if the male head 1 and the female head 4 are placed horizontally, after connecting the male head 1 and the female head 4, the male head 1 is placed directly on the ground, and the grounding ring 13 contacts the ground, so that the male head 1 and the female head 4 are always on the same horizontal line, avoiding poor contact due to incorrect insertion angle of the male head 1 and the female head 4.
