Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector structure technology, specifically to a high pull-out force signal transmission connector. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing USB devices use standard snap-fit ​​or simple plastic covering structures, and their pull-out force is limited by the elasticity of the material and the contact area, usually only meeting the industry standard of 10N±2N.

[0003] For example, an existing Chinese patent (CN205092353U) discloses a USB connector, including: a printed circuit board (PCB) and a housing. The rear end of the housing has a guide groove, the width of which is the same as the width of the PCB, and the height of which is the same as the thickness of the PCB. The upper and lower surfaces of the front end of the housing have through openings that expose the contact areas of the PCB. The upper and lower surfaces of the front end of the PCB each have contact areas that form an electrical connection with the USB female connector. The PCB is inserted into the housing through the guide groove, with the contact areas of the PCB exposed at the through openings of the housing, and the surfaces of the upper and lower contact areas of the PCB are flush with the upper and lower surfaces of the front end of the housing, respectively. This invention solves the problems of complex manufacturing processes, poor mass production, high costs, difficult processing techniques, and rough edges after secondary injection molding in related technologies.

[0004] Customer applications such as industrial equipment, automotive systems, and high-vibration environments place higher demands on the connection stability of USB connectors, requiring a pull-out force of ≥30N to prevent cable detachment or signal interruption due to accidental pulling. Therefore, we provide high pull-out force signal transmission connectors. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high pull-out force signal transmission connector, including a USB female connector and a USB male connector. The USB male connector has male connector spring windows on its upper and lower sides, and male connector springs are provided inside the male connector spring windows. The USB female connector has female connector spring windows on its upper and lower sides and on both sides, and female connector springs are provided inside the female connector spring windows. The male connector springs can be locked at one end of the female connector spring window. The outer walls on both sides of the USB male connector have convex structures. The convex structures include interference portions and positioning convex round portions. The interference portions abut against the inner wall of the side of the USB female connector, and the positioning convex round portions can be locked at one end of the female connector spring window located on the side.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the female spring is in a V-shape that is concave inward, and the V-shaped end of the female spring can be locked inside the window end of the male spring.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high pull-out force signal transmission connector, including a USB female connector 1 and a USB male connector 2. The USB male connector 2 has male connector spring windows 5 on its upper and lower sides, and male connector springs 6 are housed within the male connector spring windows 5. The male connector spring windows 5 provide installation space for the male connector springs 6 while limiting the range of motion of the springs, ensuring precise engagement with the female connector springs 4. The male connector springs 6 form a mechanical lock with the female connector spring windows 3 through elastic deformation, providing initial pull-out force and preventing the male connector from falling off due to slight external force.

[0024] The USB female connector 1 has female connector spring windows 3 on the top, bottom, and both sides, and spring windows 3 and springs 4 on the top, bottom, and sides. Through multi-point contact, stress is dispersed, improving the overall pull-out force and enhancing the resistance to lateral forces. The female connector spring window 3 contains a female connector spring 4, and the male connector spring 6 can be locked at one end of the female connector spring window 3. The female connector spring 4 and the male connector spring 6 cooperate to form a double locking structure, further improving the connection reliability.

[0025] The outer walls of both sides of the USB male connector 2 are provided with convex structures 8, which include an interference portion 801 and a positioning convex portion 802. The interference portion 801 abuts against the inner wall of the side of the USB female connector 1, and the positioning convex portion 802 can be locked at one end of the female connector spring window 3 located on the side. The convex structure 8 further enhances the pull-out force through physical interference, compensating for the shortcomings of the spring structure in extreme environments. The interference portion 801 rigidly abuts against the inner wall of the side of the female connector 1, increasing friction and preventing the male connector 2 from loosening due to vibration or pulling. The positioning convex portion 802 locks into one end of the female connector spring window 3, forming a secondary locking and improving the resistance to pull-out.

[0026] One end of the female connector spring 4 is a V-shape that curves inward, and this V-shaped end can be locked inside one end of the male connector spring window 5. One end of the male connector spring 6 is an inverted V-shape that curves outward. The V-shaped structure can be locked inside their respective windows when the USB male connector 2 is inserted.

[0027] The female spring clip window 3 and the V-shaped end of the female spring clip 4 form a straight window section. The inverted V-shaped end of the male spring clip 6 is fitted into this straight window section, and the length of this straight window section is not less than 1.85mm. A straight window section length ≥ 1.85mm ensures that the male spring clip 6 can extend sufficiently into the female spring clip window 3, allowing the V-shaped end of the male spring clip 6 to be fully fitted into the female spring clip window 3, thus increasing the pull-out force.

[0028] The USB male connector 2 has multiple injection holes 7 on its upper and lower sides. The injection holes 7 correspond to the USB plastic ejector slots. When the USB male connector 2 is molded into a plastic outer mold, the flowing glue enters the injection holes 7 so that the outer mold glue provides a higher holding force on the wire after solidification, ensuring that the product will not have problems after the pull-out force is increased.

[0029] There are four male contact springs 6, with two on each of the top and bottom sides of the USB male connector 2. The four male contact springs 6, together with the female contact spring 4, form four sets of locking points, distributing external force and increasing pull-out force. The symmetrical distribution on the top and bottom sides balances the insertion and extraction forces, preventing deformation or damage caused by force on one side.

[0030] When using the USB connector, four male spring contacts 6 are added to the upper and lower sides of the USB male connector, and four female spring contacts 4 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the corresponding USB female connector 1. The engagement of the four male spring contacts 4 with the female spring contact windows 3 and the engagement of the four female spring contacts 4 with the male spring contact windows 5 provides the main pull-out force. In addition, convex structures 8 are provided on both sides of the USB male connector 2. The positioning convex round parts 802 of the convex structures 8 engage with the female spring contact windows 3 on both sides of the USB female connector 1, and the interference parts 801 directly and rigidly interfere with the inner walls on both sides of the USB female connector 1, further increasing the pull-out force. Laboratory verification shows that the pull-out force of the improved USB male connector is stable at 32N-35N, meeting customer requirements.

[0031] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
