Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of TYPE-C female connector structure, specifically a TYPE-C female connector structure with a wire clamp fixing post. Background Technology

[0002] With the miniaturization and high-speed development of electronic devices, the TYPE-C interface, due to its advantages such as reversible insertion, high-speed data transmission, and high-current charging, is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and other fields. However, existing TYPE-C female connector structures typically rely on external clamps or soldered brackets to secure cables during connection, which has the following technical drawbacks:

[0003] Traditional external clamps require additional assembly processes, and the connection point with the female connector shell is prone to loosening due to vibration and insertion / extraction forces, leading to poor terminal contact or cable breakage. Independent fixing brackets increase the number of parts and mold costs, and often use screw connections or welding processes, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty in controlling yield. Existing fixing posts are mostly single straight plate structures, lacking effective reinforcement designs, and are prone to bending deformation when subjected to radial tension of the cable, especially with a high risk of failure under high-frequency vibration environments.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A TYPE-C female connector structure with a wire clamp fixing post includes a shell, an insulating body, and terminals. The structure is characterized in that: wire clamp fixing posts extend symmetrically from both sides of the shell; one end of each wire clamp fixing post is connected to the insulating body, and the other end extends outward from the shell to form a horizontal fixing part; the horizontal fixing part has a through fixing hole; the inner wall of the shell has a slot corresponding to the position of the wire clamp fixing post; the vertical section of the wire clamp fixing post is engaged in the slot; and the wire clamp fixing post and the shell are fixedly connected by a secondary molding part formed by injection molding.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution, the bottom surface of the horizontal fixing part of the wire clamp fixing post is provided with anti-slip teeth, the anti-slip teeth are evenly distributed along the length direction of the horizontal fixing part, and the height of the anti-slip teeth is 0.2-0.5mm.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution, a boss is provided on the outer side of the housing corresponding to the position of the wire clamp fixing post. A mounting hole coaxial with the fixing hole is provided on the boss. The diameter of the mounting hole is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole, and a stepped surface is formed between the mounting hole and the fixing hole.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution, an elastic washer is provided in the mounting hole. The inner diameter of the elastic washer matches the diameter of the fixing hole, and the outer diameter matches the diameter of the mounting hole. The elastic washer is made of EPDM rubber.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution, the top surface of the horizontal fixing part of the wire clamp fixing post is provided with a guide slope, the angle between the guide slope and the horizontal fixing part is 30°-45°, and the guide slope extends to the front edge of the horizontal fixing part.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, the secondary molding part is PBT plastic injection molded, and the contact area between the secondary molding part and the wire clamp fixing post accounts for 60%-80% of the surface area of ​​the wire clamp fixing post.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] The TYPE-C female connector structure with a wire clamp fixing post of this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects during use:

[0018] The insulating body and the clamp fixing post are integrally molded, combined with the outer shell's slotted connection and a secondary injection-molded PBT overmolded structure, forming a dual fixing system of "mechanical connection + material fusion," significantly improving tensile strength and effectively avoiding the loosening risk of traditional external clamps. The guide slope of the horizontal fixing part reduces cable installation resistance, and the boss and coaxial mounting hole design ensure precise hole alignment. Combined with the stress buffering effect of the EPDM rubber elastic washer, it reduces screw misalignment and cracking problems, significantly improving assembly efficiency.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a TYPE-C female connector structure with a wire clamp fixing post 205, including a shell 2, an insulating body 1, and a terminal 102. The key feature is that wire clamp fixing posts 205 extend symmetrically from both sides of the shell 2. One end of each wire clamp fixing post 205 is connected to the insulating body 1, and the other end extends outward from the shell 2 to form a horizontal fixing part. A through fixing hole is provided on the horizontal fixing part. A slot 201 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 2 corresponding to the position of the wire clamp fixing post 205. The vertical section of the wire clamp fixing post 205 is engaged in the slot 201, and the wire clamp fixing post 205 and the shell 2 are fixedly connected by a secondary molding part formed by injection molding.

[0027] In this embodiment, the vertical segment engages with the slot 201 on the inner wall of the outer shell 2. A secondary injection molding process is used to wrap the outer side of the fixing post with a secondary molded PBT material, forming a dual fixing structure of "clamping + injection molding." The horizontal fixing part extends outward through the outer shell 2, and the fixing holes are used to insert screws or cable ties to fix the cable to the bottom surface of the horizontal fixing part. The outer shell 2 is positioned by the slot 201 and fixed by secondary injection molding, avoiding the risk of loosening of screw connections and improving production efficiency. The secondary molded part wraps 60%-80% of the surface area of ​​the fixing post, forming a large-area mechanical engagement. Combined with the limiting effect of the slot 201, the cable clamp fixing post 205 remains stable under axial tension (such as cable dragging) and radial torque (such as plug rotation), solving the problem of poor contact caused by cable interface shaking in the prior art. The design of the horizontal fixing part extending outward from the outer shell 2 provides an external support point for cable fixing without increasing the lateral size of the TYPE-C female connector, adapting to the needs of dense wiring in confined spaces.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the horizontal fixing part of the wire clamp fixing post 205 is provided with anti-slip teeth, which are evenly distributed along the length direction of the horizontal fixing part, and the height of the anti-slip teeth is 0.2-0.5mm.

[0029] When the anti-slip teeth (0.2-0.5mm high) on the bottom surface of the horizontal fixing part contact the cable outer sheath or fixing clamp, the tooth-shaped protrusions embed into the surface of the soft material, forming a mechanical engagement and increasing static friction. The evenly distributed tooth structure ensures uniform force distribution and avoids local stress concentration. When the cable is fixed to the horizontal fixing part by cable ties or clips, the anti-slip teeth can effectively prevent the cable from sliding along the length of the fixing part, which is especially suitable for frequent plugging and unplugging or vibration environments, improving connection reliability. The 0.2-0.5mm height parameter has been verified by mechanical simulation, providing the optimal coefficient of friction without damaging the cable sheath (tests show that the static friction of the anti-slip tooth structure is 40% higher than that of a smooth surface).

[0030] Furthermore, the outer wall of the vertical section of the wire clamp fixing post 205 is provided with a reinforcing rib 203. The reinforcing rib 203 is triangular, with one end connected to the insulating body 1 and the other end extending to the bottom surface of the horizontal fixing part.

[0031] The reinforcing rib 203 connects the insulating body 1 to the bottom surface of the horizontal fixing part, forming a triangular support structure. When the horizontal fixing part is subjected to downward pressure (such as screw tightening force) or upward tension (such as cable dragging force), the triangular structure transfers the load to the insulating body 1 through the reinforcing rib 203, reducing the bending deformation of the vertical section. Finite element analysis (FEA) verifies that with the reinforcing rib 203, the bending strength of the vertical section is increased by 60%, and it can withstand a radial tensile force of ≥50N without plastic deformation, significantly superior to the thin structure without the reinforcing rib 203 in the prior art. The triangular design balances lightweight and strength, avoiding increased interface weight due to structural redundancy, and meets the design requirements of TYPE-C miniaturization and high reliability.

[0032] Furthermore, a boss 202 is provided on the outer side of the outer casing 2 at the position corresponding to the wire clamp fixing post 205. A mounting hole 204, coaxial with the fixing hole, is provided on the boss 202. The diameter of the mounting hole 204 is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole, and a stepped surface is formed between the mounting hole 204 and the fixing hole. An elastic washer is provided inside the mounting hole 204. The inner diameter of the elastic washer matches the diameter of the fixing hole, and the outer diameter matches the diameter of the mounting hole 204. The elastic washer is made of EPDM rubber.

[0033] The boss 202 on the outer side of the outer shell 2 positions the mounting hole 204, so that the fixing hole and the mounting hole 204 are coaxially aligned; the stepped surface (the diameter of the mounting hole 204 is greater than that of the fixing hole) provides a countersunk space for the screw head or washer, and the elastic washer (EPDM rubber) fills the step gap to absorb the axial pressure and vibration stress during installation.

[0034] The height of the boss 202 (equal to the horizontal part of the fixing post) ensures that the coaxiality between the fixing hole and the mounting hole 204 is ≤0.1mm, avoiding screw jamming or loose connection problems caused by hole misalignment. The elastic deformation of the elastic washer can compensate for small displacements between the housing 2 and the fixing post (such as thermal expansion caused by temperature changes), preventing cracking of the fixing hole caused by rigid connection, while providing IPX4 splash-proof sealing effect (the weather resistance of the rubber material meets the requirements for long-term use in environments of -40℃~85℃).

[0035] Furthermore, the top surface of the horizontal fixing part of the wire clamp fixing post 205 is provided with a guide slope, the angle between the guide slope and the horizontal fixing part is 30°-45°, and the guide slope extends to the front edge of the horizontal fixing part.

[0036] The secondary molding part is made of PBT plastic injection molding, and the contact area between the secondary molding part and the wire clamp fixing post 205 accounts for 60%-80% of the surface area of ​​the wire clamp fixing post 205.

[0037] The vertical section of the clamp fixing post 205 has a height of 3-5mm, the length of the horizontal fixing part is 8-12mm, and the width of the horizontal fixing part is 2-4mm.

[0038] The 30°-45° guide bevel at the front of the horizontal fixing part guides the cable or clamp to slide into the fixing position, reducing insertion resistance. The parameters of 3-5mm vertical section height and 8-12mm horizontal section length are compatible with the shell dimensions of mainstream TYPE-C female connectors (e.g., the width of the cable exit area in the USB-IF standard is ≤10mm), ensuring compatibility with existing interfaces. The guide bevel reduces the insertion force by 30% (compared to a structure without a bevel), improving manual assembly efficiency while preventing sharp angles from scratching the cable sheath. The optimized dimensional parameters strike a balance between strength and space: the 2-4mm horizontal section width meets the minimum screw installation diameter (M2 screw corresponds to a 3mm hole diameter), and the vertical section height ensures sufficient overmolding thickness (≥1mm) in the secondary molding part, avoiding insufficient material during injection molding.

[0039] Furthermore, the terminal 102 has a bent portion at its tail end, which is arranged parallel to the horizontal fixing portion of the wire clamp fixing post 205, and the distance between the bent portion and the horizontal fixing portion is 0.5-1mm.

[0040] The tail of the outer casing 2 is provided with a cable outlet 101. The width of the cable outlet 101 is equal to the width of the horizontal fixing part of the cable clamp fixing post 205, and the height of the cable outlet 101 is 0.5-1mm greater than the cable diameter.

[0041] The bent portion at the tail of terminal 102 is parallel to the horizontal fixing portion, forming a parallel conductive structure with a spacing of 0.5-1mm. This reduces crosstalk of high-frequency signals (such as the 10Gbps signal of USB 3.2 Gen 2) by utilizing the electromagnetic shielding principle. The width of the outlet 101 is the same as that of the horizontal portion, and its height is 0.5-1mm greater than the cable diameter, which restricts the lateral swing of the cable while allowing slight axial displacement.

[0042] The parallel bending and fixing parts form a microstrip line structure. Signal integrity testing shows an insertion loss of ≤0.5dB in the 10GHz band, a 20% reduction compared to the traditional vertical output terminal 102, meeting the EMC requirements for high-speed data transmission. The precise dimensional design of the output port 101 (e.g., 5.5-6mm height for a 5mm cable diameter) prevents wear on the cable sheath due to excessive compression. Simultaneously, the reserved micro-gaps allow the cable to expand and contract freely with thermal expansion and contraction, extending its service life.

[0043] In summary, by combining the design of "integrated molding fixing post + secondary injection molding and multi-dimensional reinforcement structure", the limitations of traditional TYPE-C female connectors that rely on external clamps to fix cables are overcome, forming a built-in, highly integrated cable fixing solution that solves the core problems of loose structure and unreliable fixation in existing technologies.

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
