Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to a male connector terminal. Background Technology

[0002] In electronic equipment and related fields, connectors are key components for circuit connections, and their performance directly affects the stability and reliability of the equipment. Currently, most connectors on the market use hooks for the connection between the male and female terminals. While this connection method can meet connection requirements to a certain extent, it has revealed many problems in actual use. Because connectors require frequent insertion and removal of the male and female terminals during equipment operation, the hooks gradually fatigue and age due to repeated stress and reset. With increased use, the elastic clamping force of the hooks continuously decreases, causing the connection between the male and female terminals to gradually loosen, and eventually leading to the hooks losing their connecting function, resulting in circuit connection failure and affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, how to improve the stability and service life of the connector male and female terminal connection has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Existing technologies offer relatively few solutions to this problem, and their effectiveness is not ideal, failing to fundamentally overcome the connection failure problem caused by hook fatigue and aging. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a male connector, including an insulating body, a plurality of terminal holes are spaced apart on the insulating body, two parallel extension plates extend from both ends of the insulating body, a horizontal plate is integrally formed between the extension plates, an elastic hook is integrally formed on the horizontal plate, a connecting groove is provided on the inner wall of the pressure end of the elastic hook and the end face of the insulating body, and an elastic mechanism for opening the pressure end of the elastic hook outward is provided in the connecting groove;

[0005] The elastic mechanism includes a first insert, a second insert, and a spreading spring for connecting the first insert and the second insert, wherein the first insert and the second insert are respectively inserted into the connecting groove.

[0006] Furthermore, slots for inserting insert one and insert two are provided on both sides of the connecting groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the ends of the first insert and the second insert are provided with disassembly ports.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. By setting an elastic mechanism consisting of insert plate one, insert plate two, and a spreading spring in the connection groove between the insulating body and the elastic hook, when the elastic hook is subjected to force during connection and insertion / removal with the female end, the spreading spring of the elastic mechanism can continuously provide outward spreading force to the pressure end of the elastic hook, assisting the elastic hook in maintaining a good elastic deformation state, effectively compensating for the elastic decay problem caused by frequent use, significantly reducing the fatigue aging rate of the elastic hook, and thus extending the service life of the hook.

[0014] 2. The presence of the elastic mechanism ensures that the elastic hook maintains a stable and sufficient elastic clamping force, ensuring that the male and female ends can maintain a tight and stable connection after multiple insertion and removal operations.

[0023] 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.

[0024] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0025] This utility model provides a male connector terminal.

[0026] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-5 The male end of the connector includes an insulating body 1, on which a plurality of terminal holes 2 are spaced apart. Two parallel extension plates 3 extend from both ends of the insulating body 1. A horizontal plate 4 is integrally formed between the extension plates 3. An elastic hook 5 is integrally formed on the horizontal plate 4. A connecting groove 6 is provided on the inner wall of the pressure end 7 of the elastic hook 5 and the end face of the insulating body. An elastic mechanism for opening the pressure end of the elastic hook outward is provided in the connecting groove 6.

[0027] The elastic mechanism includes a first insert 8, a second insert 9, and a spreading spring 10 for connecting the first insert 8 and the second insert 9, wherein the first insert 8 and the second insert 9 are respectively inserted into the connecting groove.

[0028] In the above technical solution, parallel extension plates are set at both ends of the insulating body and connected by a horizontal plate. An elastic hook is integrally formed on the horizontal plate, which increases the elasticity of the hook. Simultaneously, an elastic mechanism consisting of insert one, insert two, and a spreading spring is set in the connecting groove to provide a continuous outward spreading force to the pressure end of the elastic hook. When the male end is connected to the female end, the elastic hook deforms under force, releasing the elastic potential energy of the spreading spring, assisting the hook in maintaining its elastic deformation and ensuring connection force. This effectively solves the fatigue and aging problem caused by frequent use of traditional hooks, extending the service life of the elastic hook; it ensures that the male and female ends maintain a tight and stable connection after multiple insertions and removals, improving connector connection stability and ensuring the reliability of electronic equipment operation.

[0029] Specifically, slots 11 for inserting insert one and insert two are provided on both sides of the connecting groove.

[0030] In this embodiment, slots are provided on both sides of the connecting groove. Insert 1 and Insert 2 are respectively inserted into the corresponding slots. The slots are used to position and limit the inserts, so that the inserts remain stable in the connecting groove. This ensures that the elastic mechanism's spreading spring can stably provide spreading force to the elastic hook's pressure end, preventing the inserts from shifting or shaking during use.

[0031] Specifically, the ends of the first insert and the second insert are provided with disassembly ports 12.

[0032] In this embodiment, disassembly ports are provided at the ends of insert one and insert two. When it is necessary to repair, replace or adjust the elastic mechanism, external force can be applied through the disassembly ports to easily pull the insert out of the slot of the connecting groove, which reduces the difficulty of disassembling the elastic mechanism and improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0033] Specifically, the surface of the horizontal plate is provided with a fitting groove 13, and a spring piece 14 is embedded in the fitting groove 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, a fitting groove is provided on the surface of the horizontal plate, and the spring is fitted into the fitting groove. During the connection process between the male end and the female end, the spring will undergo elastic deformation, generating additional elastic force. This, together with the elastic force of the elastic hook, further enhances the tightness of the connection between the male end and the female end.

[0035] Specifically, the spring piece 14 is composed of a long horizontal piece 15 and a number of short vertical pieces 16 arranged at equal intervals along the long horizontal piece.

[0036] In this embodiment, the spring is composed of a long horizontal piece and several short vertical pieces. This structural design allows the long horizontal piece and the short vertical pieces to undergo elastic deformation together when the spring is subjected to force. Compared with a single-structure spring, it can generate a larger elastic deformation range and elastic force, and can disperse stress, avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration in the spring.

[0037] Specifically, a guide strip 17 is provided on the step between the terminal holes, and an inlet slope 18 is provided on the top of the guide strip 17.

[0038] In this embodiment, a guide strip is provided on the step between the terminal holes to limit and guide the terminal, ensuring that the terminal moves in the correct direction during insertion and avoiding misalignment or tilting of the terminal.

[0039] Specifically, the guide strip is provided with a slot 19, which extends downward from the top of the guide strip and the opening of the slot gradually decreases from the top to the bottom.

[0040] In this embodiment, the guide strip is provided with a slot with a gradually decreasing opening, which makes the insertion of the guide strip into the guide slot on the female end smoother during the terminal insertion process.

[0041] Attention all technical personnel: Although this utility model has been described according to the specific embodiments above, the concept of this utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification that utilizes the concept of this utility model will be included within the scope of protection of this patent right.
