The disassembly component is located at one end of the docking rod 13 and is used to pull the connecting block 20 back into the placement groove 17.

[0032] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, during actual use, the male connector 1 is connected to the end to be charged, and then the female connector 2 is connected to the power transmission equipment. Then, the male connector 1 and female connector 2 are mated. Next, the two second power terminals 11 and multiple second signal terminals are respectively plugged into the two first power terminals 9 and multiple first signal terminals 10. After the current connection is completed, the current is transmitted through the female connector 2 to the male connector 1 and replenishes the electrical appliance that needs charging. After the male connector 1 and female connector 2 are connected, the mating rod 13 is inserted into the positioning groove 15. Then, through the elastic expansion of the placement groove 17, the connecting block 20 is pushed and snapped into the connecting groove 16. The connecting block 20 prevents the mating rod 13 from detaching from the positioning groove 15, thereby connecting the mounting plate 12 and the mating plate 14 to prevent the male connector 1 and female connector 2 from separating. Through the above design, the male connector 1 and female connector 2 can be prevented from detaching during mating, improving the tightness and safety of the connection between the male connector 1 and female connector 2.

[0033] Please refer to the details. Figure 1-6 The disassembly assembly consists of a disassembly groove 21 and a disassembly block 23.

A limit rod 22 is fixedly connected between the two inner walls of the disassembly groove 21. A horizontal hole is opened at one end of the disassembly block 23, and the disassembly block 23 is slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the limit rod 22 through the horizontal hole.

[0034] In this embodiment: when it is necessary to separate the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, the disassembly block 23 is pulled by the disassembly groove 21, and the connecting block 20 is pulled at the same time, so that the connecting block 20 is disengaged from the connecting groove 16 and retracted into the placement groove 17. When the disassembly block 23 moves, it can slide on the outer surface of the limiting rod 22 through the horizontal hole, thereby improving the horizontal movement stability of the disassembly block 23.

[0038] In this embodiment: the male connector 1 can be covered and sealed by the dust cover 3 and the dust blocking block 4. After the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are connected, the mounting plate 5 and the connecting plate 6 will be mated. Then, through the insertion hole and the snap-fit ​​groove, the rotating rod 7 and the rotating block 8 can be inserted into one side of the connecting plate 6. Then, the rotating rod 7 is rotated 90 degrees so that it is intersected with the snap-fit ​​groove. The intersecting of the rotating rod 7 can prevent the connecting plate 6 and the mounting plate 5 from separating.

[0039] Working principle: In actual use, the male connector 1 is connected to the end to be charged, and then the female connector 2 is connected to the power transmission equipment. Then, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are mated. After that, the two second power terminals 11 and the multiple second signal terminals are respectively plugged into the two first power terminals 9 and the multiple first signal terminals 10. After the current docking is completed, the current is transmitted through the female connector 2 to the male connector 1 and supplements the electrical appliance that needs to be charged. After the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are connected, the docking rod 13 is inserted into the positioning groove 15. Then, through the elastic expansion of the placement groove 17, the connecting block 20 is pushed and snapped into the connecting groove 16. The connecting block 20 can prevent the docking rod 13 from detaching from the positioning groove 15, thereby connecting the mounting plate 12 and the docking plate 14 to prevent the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 from separating. Through the above design, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 can be prevented from detaching when docking, improving the tightness and safety of the connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2.
