Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data connector assembly technology, and in particular to a simulated animal connector. Background Technology

[0002] Power strips are widely used and come in many varieties. In today's era of digital products and smartphones, charging is indispensable. Users choose power strips with charging functions to suit their needs, mainly because: power strips are power conversion devices that make them convenient for users. In the past, users had to carry their own chargers and data cables, which was extremely inconvenient. The automatic USB data cable retraction device for power strips solves this problem. The power strip itself has a built-in charging power supply and data cable. When not charging, the data cable automatically retracts, making it easy to carry. When charging, it can be pulled out, bringing humanized convenience to families, office workers, and business travelers.

[0003] However, the current power strip designs on the market have obvious limitations, such as a single shape and poor adaptability. Most power strips adopt the traditional straight shape design, which is not very versatile when facing complex and varied spatial layouts. Secondly, they are not aesthetically pleasing. In today's pursuit of personalization and home aesthetics, the single shape of the power strip is difficult to integrate into diverse decoration styles and usage environments. Whether it is a minimalist modern home space or a creative office space, the monotonous appearance of the traditional power strip cannot meet users' aesthetic needs.

[0004] Next, the terminals are key components for achieving electrical connections in power strips. Their performance is crucial to the overall function and stability of the equipment. Traditional terminal contact designs have gradually revealed their limitations in meeting the ever-increasing demands for electrical performance. For example, there are bottlenecks in signal transmission performance: in high-frequency signal transmission scenarios, such as high-speed data communication and high-frequency circuits, the shape and size of traditional contacts are difficult to achieve good impedance matching, which can easily lead to signal reflection and crosstalk. Signal reflection can cause signal distortion and energy loss, while crosstalk can interfere with normal signal transmission, limiting the improvement of signal transmission speed and quality.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main purpose is to provide a simulated animal power strip. The main body of the data connector is designed in the shape of an animal, allowing its irregular animal shape to be flexibly placed according to different space requirements, adding interest and decoration. Secondly, the widened section extends laterally from the front end of the first fixing part, and the first contact part extends upward from the front end of the widened section, thus increasing the cross-sectional area of ​​the contact part, improving conductivity, and ensuring stable current transmission.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A simulated animal power strip includes a data connector body shaped like an animal; the data connector body includes a housing, a circuit board installed inside the housing, and a plurality of connector sockets disposed on the circuit board; a plurality of windows are arranged at intervals along the front-back direction on one side of the housing, and the connector sockets are exposed at the corresponding windows;

[0009] Each of the plurality of connector sockets includes a housing, a plastic base, a first terminal group, and a second terminal group, wherein the housing covers the outside of the plastic base; the plastic base is provided with a plurality of first terminal slots and second terminal slots arranged at intervals; the first terminal group is disposed in the first terminal slot; the first terminal group includes at least a signal terminal, wherein the signal terminal includes a first contact portion, a widening portion, a first fixing portion, and a first soldering portion arranged sequentially from front to back, the widening portion extending laterally from the front end of the first fixing portion, and the first contact portion extending upward from the front end of the widening portion;

[0010] The second terminal group includes at least a conductive terminal, which includes a second contact portion, a second fixing portion and a second welding portion arranged sequentially from front to back. The second contact portion extends upward from the front end of the second fixing portion. The conductive terminal is disposed in the second terminal slot group and the second contact portion is exposed outside the second terminal slot.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the plastic base includes at least a base and a tongue plate extending outward from the base. The outer side of the base is provided with a mating portion. Correspondingly, the rear end of the outer shell is provided with a mating groove for fitting with the mating portion. The outer shell covers the outside of the plastic base, so that the mating portion and the mating groove cooperate.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a positioning groove is recessed on the upper rear side of the base, and a positioning part is provided on the inner rear side of the outer shell. The outer shell covers the plastic base, and the positioning part is at least partially located in the positioning groove. In this way, through the combined design of the positioning groove and the positioning part, the outer shell and the plastic base can be mutually limited. At the same time, it can limit the insertion of the plastic base, so as to limit the insertion depth of the plastic base and avoid the phenomenon of the plastic base being inserted too deeply.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the upper inner wall of the front end of the housing is provided with two upper spring tabs, which are arranged symmetrically in the left-right direction. The lower inner wall of the front end of the housing is provided with two lower spring tabs, which are also arranged symmetrically in the left-right direction. The upper and lower spring tabs extend in opposite directions. This combination of upper and lower spring tabs enhances the stability of the interlocking structure during use.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the first welding portion of the first terminal group and the second welding portion of the second terminal group are exposed outside the base and arranged sequentially from left to right.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, it mainly uses the shape design of the data connector body in the shape of an animal. In this way, the irregular outline of the animal shape can be flexibly placed according to different space requirements, adding fun and decoration while bringing users a pleasant emotional experience.

[0016] Secondly, the widened section features a structural design. The widened section extends laterally from the front end of the first fixing part, while the first contact part extends upwards from the front end of the widened section. This increases the cross-sectional area of ​​the contact part. According to the law of resistance, this effectively reduces contact resistance, thereby reducing energy loss at the contact point, reducing heat generation, improving conductivity, and ensuring stable current transmission. Furthermore, the widened design optimizes impedance matching, reducing signal reflection and crosstalk during high-frequency signal transmission. Additionally, it enhances mechanical stability; the larger contact area provides stronger contact pressure and friction, resulting in a tighter and more stable connection between the terminal and the mating component. When subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, it effectively reduces poor contact and loosening.

[0017] The design includes a second terminal group and a second terminal group slot. The conductive terminal includes a second contact portion, a second fixing portion, and a second welding portion arranged sequentially from front to back. The second contact portion extends upward from the front end of the second fixing portion. This creates a deformation expansion space on the plastic base for receiving the second contact portion of the second terminal group, allowing the second contact portion to deform without restriction and thus not interfering with the contraction of the second contact portion, ensuring the stability of the mechanical and electrical properties of the connection terminal.

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0048] Preferably, the plastic base 22 includes at least a base 223 and a tongue portion 224 extending outward from the base 223. The outer side of the base 223 is provided with a mating portion 225.

The outer shell 21 covers the outside of the plastic base 22, so that the mating portion 225 and the mating groove 211 cooperate.

[0049] Preferably, a positioning groove 226 is recessed on the upper rear end of the base 223, and a positioning part 214 is provided on the inner rear end of the outer shell 21. The outer shell 21 covers the plastic base 22, and the positioning part 214 is at least partially located in the positioning groove 226. In this way, through the combined design of the positioning groove 226 and the positioning part 214, the outer shell 21 and the plastic base 22 can be mutually limited. At the same time, it can limit the insertion of the plastic base 22, so as to limit the insertion depth of the plastic base 22 and avoid the phenomenon of the plastic base 22 being inserted too deeply.

[0050] Preferably, the upper inner wall of the front end of the outer casing 21 is provided with two upper spring tabs 212, which are arranged symmetrically in the left-right direction.

This allows the irregular outline of the animal shape to be flexibly placed according to different space requirements, adding fun and decoration while bringing a pleasant emotional experience to the user.

[0055] Secondly, the widened section features a structural design. The widened section extends laterally from the front end of the first fixing part, while the first contact part extends upwards from the front end of the widened section.

Furthermore, the widened design optimizes impedance matching, reducing signal reflection and crosstalk during high-frequency signal transmission. Additionally, it enhances mechanical stability; the larger contact area provides stronger contact pressure and friction, resulting in a tighter and more stable connection between the terminal and the mating component. When subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, it effectively reduces poor contact and loosening.

The conductive terminal includes a second contact portion, a second fixing portion, and a second welding portion arranged sequentially from front to back. The second contact portion extends upward from the front end of the second fixing portion. This creates a deformation expansion space on the plastic base for receiving the second contact portion of the second terminal group, allowing the second contact portion to deform without restriction and thus not interfering with the contraction of the second contact portion, ensuring the stability of the mechanical and electrical properties of the connection terminal.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
