Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of TYPE-C connector technology, specifically a stable TYPE-C connector. Background Technology
[0002] The TYPE-C connector, characterized by its high integration, versatility, and user-friendliness, has completely revolutionized the user experience of traditional connectors. Its symmetrical, reversible plug-in design eliminates the "difficult to distinguish the right or wrong" problem of traditional USB interfaces, greatly improving user convenience and efficiency. In terms of data transmission, TYPE-C supports speeds from 10Gbps under the USB 3.1 standard to up to 40Gbps under the latest USB 4 standard, easily handling the needs of high-definition video, large files, and even professional-grade data exchange.
[0003] In existing technologies, the internal structure of connectors is usually quite compact, but the fixing mechanism between the plug and the connector is relatively weak. After the plug is inserted into the inside of the connector, the stability is insufficient. When the data line is pulled by external force, it is very easy to break the connection between the two, causing the plug and the connector to separate, thereby affecting the efficiency of power or data transmission. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a stable TYPE-C connector, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a stable TYPE-C connector, including a mounting base, a sliding groove inside the mounting base, the sliding groove communicating with the inner cavity of the mounting base, a spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, a pressure plate fixedly connected to one end of the spring, a housing inserted into the center of the mounting base, the side surface of the housing fitting against the inner wall of the mounting base, the housing penetrating the mounting base, a through groove on the housing, the through groove communicating with the sliding groove, the side of the pressure plate away from the spring extending into the interior of the housing through the through groove, the side surface of the pressure plate slidingly fitting against the inner wall of the through groove.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a connecting plate is attached to one side of the mounting base, and a connecting terminal is fixedly connected to the center of the connecting plate. The connecting terminal passes through the connecting plate, and one end of the connecting terminal extends into the interior of the housing.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a fixing groove is provided on the outer shell, and a fixing strip is provided inside the fixing groove.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a limiting frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chute, a connecting column is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure plate near the spring, the connecting column passes through the limiting frame, and a limiting block is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting column away from the pressure plate.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the mounting base has a circular groove inside, which is connected to the sliding groove and is adapted to the limiting block.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the inner wall of the chute and the inner wall of the limiting frame are fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and a roller is rotatably connected to the side surface of the rotating shaft, with the side surface of the roller in contact with the side surface of the connecting column.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the mounting base has a fixing hole on the side near the connecting plate, and the connecting plate has the same fixing hole as the mounting base.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. By using the mounting base, slide, pressure plate and spring, after the plug is inserted into the connector, the spring will push the pressure plate at all times, so that the flat surface of the pressure plate is tightly fitted with the side surface of the plug, which can increase the friction on the plug and improve the stability after the plug and connector are connected.
[0014] 2. The elasticity of the spring can automatically adjust and ensure full contact, which can avoid the poor contact that occurs in most TYPE-C connectors after a certain number of insertions and removals. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.
[0023] This utility model provides a stable TYPE-C connector, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a mounting base 1, with a sliding groove 5 inside the mounting base 1, the sliding groove 5 communicating with the inner cavity of the mounting base 1, a spring 7 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 5, a pressure plate 6 fixedly connected to one end of the spring 7, a housing 3 inserted into the center of the mounting base 1, the side surface of the housing 3 fitting against the inner wall of the mounting base 1, the housing 3 penetrating the mounting base 1, and a through groove 13 opened on the housing 3, the through groove 13 communicating with the sliding groove 5, the side of the pressure plate 6 away from the spring 7 extending into the interior of the housing 3 through the through groove 13, the side surface of the pressure plate 6 slidingly fitting against the inner wall of the through groove 13.
[0024] A connecting plate 2 is attached to one side of the mounting base 1. A connecting terminal 4 is fixedly connected to the center of the connecting plate 2. The connecting terminal 4 passes through the connecting plate 2, and one end of the connecting terminal 4 extends into the interior of the housing 3.
[0025] The outer casing 3 has a fixing groove 14, and a fixing strip 15 is provided inside the fixing groove 14.
[0026] When the plug is inserted into the housing 3, its side surface contacts the inclined surface of the pressure plate 6 and squeezes the pressure plate 6, causing the pressure plate 6 to retract into the groove 5. During the movement of the pressure plate 6, the spring 7 is compressed accordingly. When the plug is fully inserted into the housing 3, the spring 7 will continuously push the pressure plate 6, making the plane of the pressure plate 6 fit tightly against the side surface of the plug, thereby increasing the friction on the plug and improving the stability of the plug and connector connection. In addition, the fixing strip 15 has a certain elasticity and deformation capability. During the process of the plug being inserted into the housing 3, its side surface will also squeeze the protrusion on the fixing strip 15, causing the fixing strip 15 to deform to a certain extent, thereby providing space for the plug to move. When the plug is fully inserted into the housing 3, the protrusion on the fixing strip 15 will automatically engage in the groove on the plug under the action of elasticity, further improving the stability between the plug and connector.
[0027] In order to improve the smoothness of the movement of the pressure plate 6, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a limiting frame 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide 5, and a connecting post 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure plate 6 near the spring 7. The connecting post 9 passes through the limiting frame 8, and a limiting block 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting post 9 away from the pressure plate 6.
[0028] The mounting base 1 has a circular groove 12 inside, which is connected to the sliding groove 5 and is adapted to the limiting block 11.
[0029] The inner wall of the slide 5 and the inner wall of the limiting frame 8 are fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. A roller 10 is rotatably connected to the side surface of the rotating shaft. The side surface of the roller 10 is in contact with the side surface of the connecting column 9.
[0030] During the movement of the pressure plate 6, the connecting column 9 also moves within the limiting frame 8. The limiting frame 8 and the roller 10 guide and limit the movement of the pressure plate 6, reducing the possibility of the pressure plate 6 deviating during movement and thus improving the stability of the pressure plate 6. At the same time, during the movement of the connecting column 9, the roller 10 also rotates due to friction, thereby assisting the movement of the pressure plate 6, making the movement of the pressure plate 6 smoother and reducing the possibility of the pressure plate 6 getting stuck.
[0031] The setting of the limiting block 11 can restrict the movement space of the pressure plate 6 in the vertical direction, while reducing the possibility of the connecting column 9 detaching from the inside of the limiting frame 8. The opening of the circular groove 12 provides space for the movement of the limiting block 11.
[0032] Furthermore, to improve the firmness between the connecting plate 2 and the mounting base 1, such as... Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 1 has a fixing hole 16 on the side near the connecting plate 2, and the connecting plate 2 has the same fixing hole 16 as the mounting base 1.
[0033] During assembly, the connector first requires pressing the pressure plate 6, causing it to retract into the slide groove 5. As the pressure plate 6 moves, it compresses the spring 7. Then, the outer shell 3 is inserted into the mounting base 1. During this process, the side surface of the outer shell 3 abuts against the pressure plate 6, maintaining the pressure plate 6 and spring 7 in their current state. Once the outer shell 3 is fully inside the mounting base 1, the through groove 13 aligns perfectly with the slide groove 5. At this point, the spring 7 releases pressure and pushes the pressure plate 6, extending it into the outer shell 3. The connecting terminal 4 and the connecting plate 2 are integrated. After the outer shell 3 is installed, the connecting terminal 4 can be inserted into its interior. Once the connecting plate 2 and the mounting base 1 are in contact, bolts can be inserted into their fixing holes 16 to secure them. The fixing holes 16 effectively improve the stability between the connecting plate 2 and the mounting base 1.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
