Abstract

This utility model discloses a side-insertion pin header connector, relating to the field of pin header connector technology. It includes a body with a protective mechanism and symmetrically arranged reinforcing mechanisms on its left and right sides. The protective mechanism includes a hollow rod, with a telescopic rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow rod. When the hollow rod is inserted from the tip of the connecting pin, it is positioned between two sets of rubber pads. Pulling the hollow rod downwards compresses a first spring, simultaneously pushing the telescopic rod, causing it to shorten. When the hollow rod is at the tail end of the connecting pin and is stationary, the two ends of the first spring push the hollow rod and the arc-shaped plate outwards, while the telescopic rod supports the arc-shaped plate, improving the tightness of the fit between the rubber pads and the connecting pin, thereby increasing the support strength for the connecting pin and preventing it from tilting during use, thus extending the service life of the side-insertion pin header connector.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pin socket connector technology, and specifically to a side-insertion pin socket connector. Background Technology

[0002] Side-mounted connectors are electrical connectors designed to allow users to insert or remove the pin header from the side. This design provides quick and convenient connection and disconnection. The structure of side-mounted connectors allows users to easily connect or disconnect circuits without disassembling other components, making them particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent replacement or maintenance. In addition, the design of side-mounted connectors also incorporates a foolproof feature, ensuring that only the correct plug can be inserted, thus preventing incorrect insertion or reverse connection and improving safety during use.

[0003] Existing side-mounted pin header connectors lack supporting parts on the outside of the pins, making them prone to misalignment due to external impacts during use, thus necessitating replacement of the side-mounted pin header connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a side-insertion pin header connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A side-mounted pin connector includes a body, on which a protective mechanism is provided, and on the left and right sides of the body are symmetrically arranged reinforcing mechanisms.

[0007] The protective mechanism includes a hollow rod, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow rod, an arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod, and a first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow rod.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that: one end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the arc plate, and a rubber pad is fixedly connected to one side of the arc plate. The rubber pad is provided with anti-slip patterns, which can increase the friction with the surface of the connecting pin, thereby improving the support strength of the connecting pin.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that the main body includes a shielding shell, on which support holes are symmetrically opened, and on the inner wall of the support holes are symmetrically opened positioning holes. The support holes support the pressing rod and cooperate with the rubber friction block to control the movement range of the pressing rod.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a connecting pin is provided on the shielding shell, and the hollow rod is fixedly connected to the shielding shell and sleeved on the connecting pin, thereby improving the support for the connecting pin and ensuring stable transmission of current or signal.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the reinforcing mechanism includes a pressing rod, which is movably connected inside the support hole. One end of the pressing rod has symmetrically formed grooves. By pinching the grooves, the pressing rod can be pulled outward, making the operation more convenient.

[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that: positioning blocks are symmetrically arranged on the pressing rod, the positioning blocks are located in the positioning holes, and a second spring is fixedly connected to one end of the pressing rod. The positioning blocks are located in the positioning holes, so that the position of the pressing rod can be fixed.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that: one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to a rubber friction block, one side of the rubber friction block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shielding shell, and the elastic force of the second spring is applied to the inner side of the rubber friction block, thereby making the rubber friction block more full and enabling the rubber friction block to fit tightly with the external equipment.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0015] This utility model provides a side-insertion pin socket connector. When the hollow rod is inserted from the top of the connecting pin, the hollow rod is located between two sets of rubber pads. Then, the hollow rod is pulled down. During the downward movement, the first spring is compressed and pushes the telescopic rod, causing the telescopic rod to shorten. When the hollow rod is located at the tail end of the connecting pin and is stationary, the two ends of the first spring push the hollow rod and the arc plate outward respectively. At the same time, the telescopic rod can support the arc plate, improve the tightness of the fit between the rubber pads and the connecting pin, thereby improving the support strength of the connecting pin and preventing the connecting pin from tilting during use, thus extending the service life of the side-insertion pin socket connector.

[0016] This utility model provides a side-insertion pin connector. The pressing rod is pressed into the shielding shell along the support hole, simultaneously moving the positioning block so that it enters the positioning hole, thus fixing the position of the positioning block. This, in turn, fixes the position of the pressing rod. As the pressing rod moves into the shielding shell, it simultaneously pushes the second spring into the shielding shell. The elastic force of the second spring is applied to the inner side of the rubber friction block, making the rubber friction block more rounded and allowing it to fit tightly against the external device. This increases the friction between the rubber friction block and the external device, thereby improving the tightness of the connection and preventing disconnection during use.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a side-insertion pin connector, including a body 2, a protective mechanism 1 on the body 2, and a reinforcing mechanism 3 symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the body 2. The protective mechanism 1 includes a hollow rod 11, a telescopic rod 12 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow rod 11, an arc plate 14 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 12, a first spring 13 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow rod 11, one end of the first spring 13 fixedly connected to the arc plate 14, and a rubber pad 15 fixedly connected to one side of the arc plate 14. The rubber pad 15 has anti-slip patterns 16.

[0025] Specifically, the connecting pin 24 is located inside the hollow rod 11. When the hollow rod 11 is inserted from the top of the connecting pin 24, it is positioned between the two sets of rubber pads 15. Then, the hollow rod 11 is pulled down so that it is located at the tail end of the connecting pin 24. During the downward movement, the first spring 13 is compressed and pushes the telescopic rod 12, causing it to shorten. When the hollow rod 11 is located at the tail end of the connecting pin 24 and is stationary, the two ends of the first spring 13 push the hollow rod 11 and the arc plate 14 outward respectively, thereby increasing the tightness of the fit between the rubber pads 15 and the connecting pin 24. At the same time, the anti-slip pattern 16 can increase the friction with the surface of the connecting pin 24, thereby increasing the support strength of the connecting pin 24 and preventing the connecting pin 24 from tilting outward during use, thus extending the service life of the side-insertion pin connector.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, the body 2 includes a shielding shell 21, the shielding shell 21 is symmetrically provided with support holes 22, the inner wall of the support holes 22 is symmetrically provided with positioning holes 23, the shielding shell 21 is provided with a connecting pin 24, and the hollow rod 11 is fixedly connected to the shielding shell 21, and the hollow rod 11 is sleeved on the connecting pin 24;

[0028] Specifically, the shielding shell 21 is the main part of the side-mounted pin connector and serves as the connection port for other devices. The shielding shell 21 is made of insulating material to prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting to other devices. The connecting pin 24 is an important component of the side-mounted pin connector. It is usually made of metal and has electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. It is mainly used to establish electrical connections, transmit current or signals, ensure stable transmission of current or signals, and improve the reliability and safety of the device. The support hole 22 supports the pressing rod 31 and cooperates with the rubber friction block 35 to control the movement range of the pressing rod 31 and prevent the pressing rod 31 from falling off.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the reinforcing mechanism 3 includes a pressing rod 31, which is movably connected inside the support hole 22. One end of the pressing rod 31 is symmetrically provided with a groove 32, and a positioning block 33 is symmetrically provided on the pressing rod 31. The positioning block 33 is located inside the positioning hole 23. One end of the pressing rod 31 is fixedly connected to a second spring 34, and one end of the second spring 34 is fixedly connected to a rubber friction block 35. One side of the rubber friction block 35 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shielding shell 21.

[0031] Specifically, after the side-mounted pin connector is connected to an external device, the pressing rod 31 is pressed into the shielding housing 21 along the support hole 22, simultaneously moving the positioning block 33 so that it enters the positioning hole 23, thereby fixing the position of the positioning block 33. This, in turn, fixes the position of the pressing rod 31. As the pressing rod 31 moves into the shielding housing 21, it simultaneously pushes the second spring 34 into the shielding housing 21. The elastic force of the second spring 34 is applied to the inner side of the rubber friction block 35, making the rubber friction block 35 more rounded and ensuring it fits tightly against the external device. The friction between the rubber friction block 35 and the external equipment is increased, thereby improving the tightness of the connection between the two and preventing the connection from breaking during use. Pinch the groove 32 and pull the pressing rod 31 outward, thereby driving the second spring 34 to move outward. Since one end of the second spring 34 is connected to the inner wall of the rubber friction block 35, the second spring 34 can pull the rubber friction block 35 synchronously when it is pulled. Since the rubber friction block 35 is fixed to the inner wall of the shielding shell 21, when it is pulled, the rubber friction block 35 becomes flat and sticks to the inner wall of the shielding shell 21, which reduces the friction with the external equipment and facilitates disassembly.

[0032] The working principle of this side-mounted pin header connector will be explained in detail below.

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the hollow rod 11 is located between two sets of rubber pads 15. The first spring 13 is compressed and simultaneously pushes the telescopic rod 12, causing the telescopic rod 12 to shorten. When the hollow rod 11 is located at the tail end of the connecting pin 24 and is stationary, the two ends of the first spring 13 push the hollow rod 11 and the arc plate 14 outwards respectively, thereby increasing the tightness of the fit between the rubber pad 15 and the connecting pin 24. At the same time, the anti-slip pattern 16 can increase the friction with the surface of the connecting pin 24, thereby increasing the support strength of the connecting pin 24 and preventing the connecting pin 24 from tilting outwards during use. The side-insertion pin seat connector connects to external devices. Then, press the pressing rod 31 into the shielding shell 21 along the support hole 22, and at the same time move the positioning block 33 so that the positioning block 33 enters the positioning hole 23, thereby fixing the position of the positioning block 33. This also fixes the position of the pressing rod 31. When the pressing rod 31 moves into the shielding shell 21, it pushes the second spring 34 into the shielding shell 21. The elastic force of the second spring 34 is applied to the inner side of the rubber friction block 35, making the rubber friction block 35 more full and allowing it to fit tightly against the external equipment, preventing the connection from breaking during use.

[0034] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
