Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular discloses a robot connector for artificial intelligence. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of rapid development in artificial intelligence and robotics, the performance of internal connectors in robots is crucial to their overall operational stability and reliability. Existing robot connectors suffer from numerous shortcomings in terms of structural stability, electrical connection reliability, and maintenance adaptability. Some connector housings are loosely structured and prone to loosening under high-frequency vibrations in robots, leading to internal terminal displacement and electrical connection failures. Traditional terminal connection methods, lacking adaptive adjustment structures, experience reduced contact pressure and poor signal transmission stability after prolonged use. Furthermore, some connectors require complete replacement during repair, resulting in high costs, and their structural design is difficult to adapt to the compact modular layout requirements of robots, limiting functional expansion and upgrades. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a robot connector with high structural stability, reliable electrical connections, and good maintenance adaptability to meet the application requirements of artificial intelligence robots under complex working conditions. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a robot connector for artificial intelligence.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a robot connector for artificial intelligence, comprising a housing assembly and a connector assembly disposed on the housing assembly. The housing assembly is provided with a limiting component for limiting the connector assembly. The housing assembly includes a first housing and a second housing that is inserted into the first housing. The first housing has a first through hole extending along the assembly direction, and the second housing has a second through hole. The second through hole is coaxially connected to the first through hole. The connector assembly includes a male terminal accommodated in the second through hole and a female terminal that is inserted into the male terminal. The female terminal is disposed in the first through hole and snaps into the first housing.
[0005] Furthermore, a spring element is provided between the male terminal and the female terminal to enhance the electrical connection between them. The spring element includes a cylindrical elastic sleeve, which is fixed to the female terminal and has a hollow cavity for the male terminal to be inserted. The sidewall of the elastic sleeve has multiple axial slots and multiple wavy elastic strips distributed around its central axis. The multiple elastic strips and multiple axial slots form a spring structure that can be radially elastically deformed. The axial slots are located between two adjacent elastic strips, and the elastic strips are used to contact and conduct with the inserted male terminal.
[0006] Furthermore, the first housing is provided with an insertion hole, which is provided through the assembly direction. A screw is inserted into the insertion hole, and the head of the screw abuts against the outer end face of the first housing. A first limiting member is fitted on the screw, and the insertion hole of the first housing is provided with a limiting space for the movement of the first limiting member. The limiting space is formed by the inner end face of the first housing and the inner wall of the insertion hole. Both ends of the first limiting member along the length direction of the screw are limited by the inner end face of the first housing.
[0007] Furthermore, the second housing has a mounting groove on its end face near the first housing, and a bushing with an internal threaded hole is fixedly placed in the mounting groove; the screw shank passes through the insertion hole of the first housing and is screwed into the internal threaded hole of the bushing.
[0008] Furthermore, the first housing has a recessed hollow portion along the assembly direction, and the second housing has a protrusion with a shape complementary to the hollow portion. The protrusion is embedded in the hollow portion along the assembly direction; the second through hole passes through the protrusion and communicates with the first through hole along the assembly direction.
[0009] Furthermore, the first through hole is provided with a through hole post, which forms a through structure communicating with the first through hole; the through hole post protrudes from the end face of the first housing towards the second housing along the assembly direction, and its outer diameter is in clearance fit with the inner diameter of the second through hole; when assembled, the end face of the through hole post abuts against the stepped surface of the second through hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the first housing has a rectangular structure, with multiple insertion holes distributed at the corners of the first housing and arranged symmetrically along the diagonal of the first housing.
[0011] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a through-hole limiting structure disposed in the first through-hole and a female end limiting structure disposed in the female terminal; the through-hole limiting structure includes a second limiting member, the second limiting member protruding inward from the side wall of the first housing into a ring structure, and the ring structure protruding inward at the end face of the first housing facing the second housing into an arc-shaped limiting portion; the second limiting member is provided with a receiving groove along the length direction of the first through-hole and a third limiting member is provided along the circumferential direction of the first through-hole, the third limiting member being received in the receiving groove, the end of the female terminal used to connect to the male terminal abutting against the arc-shaped limiting portion, and the female end limiting structure being received in the receiving groove and abutting against the third limiting member.
[0012] Furthermore, the female end limiting structure includes a fourth limiting member, a fifth limiting member, and a sixth limiting member arranged along the length direction of the female end. When the female end is inserted into the first through hole, the fifth limiting member is accommodated in the receiving groove and abuts against the third limiting member along the length direction of the first through hole. At the same time, the sixth limiting member is accommodated in the receiving groove and is limited by the third limiting member and / or the second limiting member along the circumferential direction of the first through hole to restrict the female end from rotating along the circumferential direction of the first through hole. The line connecting the fourth limiting member, the fifth limiting member, and the sixth limiting member is parallel to the central axis direction of the first through hole, so as to adjust the insertion position direction of the female end when the female end passes through the third limiting member, so that the fifth limiting member and the sixth limiting member are inserted into the first through hole along the extension direction of the receiving groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a seventh limiting member for limiting the spring member. The seventh limiting member protrudes inward from the side wall of the female terminal. When the female terminal is assembled with the first through hole, the spring member is limited by the seventh limiting member and the inner end face of the first housing along the central axis of the first through hole.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] (1) Structural stability and assembly convenience: The first and second shells are connected by plug-in joint, screw bushing screw connection and symmetrical plug hole layout, combined with through hole column sealing design, to enhance overall stability and protection, achieve precise assembly and adapt to complex vibration environment.
[0016] (2) Electrical connection reliability: The unique elastic sleeve structure of the spring component uses axial slots and elastic strips to form deformable springs, ensuring tight contact between male and female terminals. Even in the case of long-term use or mechanical vibration causing a decrease in fitting accuracy, the spring structure can still adaptively adjust the contact pressure, reduce contact resistance fluctuations, and effectively avoid signal transmission interruption.
[0017] (3) Maintenance and adaptability: The removable bushing design reduces maintenance costs. The guiding design of the female end limiting structure (parallel layout of the fourth, fifth and sixth limiting parts) not only improves assembly efficiency, but also prevents terminal rotation through circumferential limiting, ensuring the consistency of electrical connection. The rectangular housing facilitates integration, adapts to the modular requirements of robots, and takes into account both practicality and convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 10As shown, this utility model discloses a robot connector for artificial intelligence, including a housing assembly 1 and a connector assembly 2 disposed on the housing assembly 1. The housing assembly 1 is provided with a limiting component 3 for limiting the connector assembly 2. The housing assembly 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 that is inserted into the first housing 11. The first housing 11 is provided with a first through hole 13 that extends along the assembly direction. The second housing 12 is provided with a second through hole 14 that is coaxially connected to the first through hole 13. The connector assembly 2 includes a male terminal 21 that is accommodated in the second through hole 14 and a female terminal 22 that is inserted into the male terminal 21. The female terminal 22 is disposed in the first through hole 13 and is snapped into the first housing.
[0031] In actual use, the design of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 of the housing assembly 1 being plugged into each other, and the first through hole 13 and the second through hole 14 being coaxially connected, not only simplifies the assembly process but also ensures the precise installation and positioning of the connector assembly 2. During actual assembly, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be quickly connected, reducing installation time and labor costs. At the same time, the coaxially connected through hole structure provides a stable assembly channel for the male terminal 21 and the female terminal 22 of the connector assembly 2, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of their plugging and mating.
[0032] The limiting component 3 further enhances the stability of the connector. It effectively restricts the movement of the connector assembly 2 within the housing assembly 1, preventing misalignment or loosening of the male terminal 21 and female terminal 22 even when the robot operates under complex conditions and experiences vibration or external impact, thus maintaining a reliable electrical connection. The snap-fit mechanism between the female terminal 22 and the first housing 11 ensures a secure installation of the female terminal 22 while also facilitating disassembly and maintenance. When the connector needs repair or component replacement, operators can quickly remove the female terminal 22 from the first through hole 13, improving the convenience of equipment maintenance.
[0033] Furthermore, this split-type housing assembly 1 design also boasts excellent versatility and expandability. Connector assemblies 2 of different specifications or functions can be adapted to the structure of the same housing assembly 1, meeting the diverse application needs of artificial intelligence robots. At the same time, the split structure also facilitates the individual replacement or upgrading of different components, reducing the overall maintenance cost of the equipment and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation and long-term use of artificial intelligence robots.
[0034] Specifically, a spring member 23 is provided between the male terminal 21 and the female terminal 22 to enhance the electrical connection between them. The spring member 23 includes a cylindrical elastic sleeve 231. The elastic sleeve 231 is fixed to the female terminal 22 and has a hollow cavity for the male terminal 21 to be inserted. The sidewall of the elastic sleeve 231 has multiple axial slots 232 and multiple wavy elastic strips 233 distributed around its central axis. The multiple elastic strips 233 cooperate with the multiple axial slots 232 to form a spring structure that can be radially elastically deformed. The axial slots 232 are located between two adjacent elastic strips 233. The elastic strips 233 are used to abut against and conduct with the inserted male terminal 21.
[0035] In practical use, a spring element 23 is installed between the male terminal 21 and the female terminal 22, greatly enhancing the electrical connection between them. The elastic sleeve 231 of the spring element 23, through its unique structural design—namely, the axially distributed slots 232 on the sidewalls and the wavy elastic strips 233 forming a radially elastically deformable spring structure—can tightly abut and fix itself against the inserted male terminal 21. In practical applications, the movement of the robot may cause the connector to wobble or shift to a certain extent. This spring structure can adaptively adjust the contact state with the male terminal 21, maintaining good contact pressure at all times, ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrical connection. Even during long-term use, if the fitting accuracy between the male terminal 21 and the female terminal 22 slightly decreases due to wear and other factors, the elastic deformation capability of the spring structure can compensate for this error, maintaining a stable electrical connection, reducing electrical faults caused by poor contact, improving the connector's service life and operational stability, and providing a reliable electrical connection guarantee for the stable operation of artificial intelligence robots.
[0036] The design of the wavy elastic strip 233 significantly enhances contact stability. Its wavy shape allows the elastic strip 233 to form multi-point contact with the male terminal 21, greatly increasing the effective contact area and reducing contact resistance compared to traditional single-point or line contact, thereby improving current transmission efficiency and signal transmission quality. This multi-point contact structure also effectively disperses contact pressure, reduces localized wear, and extends the connector's lifespan. In vibration environments caused by frequent robot movements, the wavy elastic strip 233 can absorb and buffer external forces through its own deformation, maintaining a stable contact state and preventing momentary power outages or signal interference caused by vibration.
[0037] The axial slots 232, positioned between adjacent elastic strips 233, endow the spring component 23 with excellent radial elastic deformation capabilities. The slotted design allows the elastic strips 233 to function independently yet collaboratively. When the male terminal 21 is inserted, each elastic strip 233 can independently adjust its deformation according to the magnitude and direction of the insertion force, achieving an adaptive and tight fit. This structure not only compensates for assembly tolerances between the male terminal 21 and the female terminal 22 but also adapts to minor dimensional changes caused by temperature variations, mechanical fatigue, and other factors, ensuring reliable electrical connections under various operating conditions. Furthermore, the presence of the axial slots 232 reduces the overall weight of the spring component 23, meeting the requirements of lightweight robot design while reducing material costs and improving product economy. The synergistic effect of the wavy elastic strips 233 and the axial slots 232 enables the spring component 23 to possess excellent mechanical adaptability and durability while ensuring reliable electrical connections, providing a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the artificial intelligence robot.
[0038] Specifically, the first housing 11 is provided with an insertion hole 111, which is through-hole arranged along the assembly direction. A screw 112 is inserted into the insertion hole 111, with the head of the screw 112 located outside the first housing 11 for easy gripping by the user. The screw shank of the screw 112 is telescopically disposed within the insertion hole 111. A first limiting member 113 is sleeved on the screw 112. The outer diameter of the first limiting member 113 is larger than the diameter of the insertion hole 111. The first limiting member 113 and the head of the screw 112 limit and block both sides of the first housing 11 to prevent the screw shank of the screw 112 from exiting the insertion hole 111.
[0039] In actual use, the insertion hole 111 is designed to extend through the assembly direction, allowing the screw 112 to be easily inserted, forming a convenient installation channel. This design not only simplifies the assembly process but also makes it easier for users to operate. The head of the screw 112 is located outside the first housing 11. This design greatly improves the ease of operation, allowing users to easily grasp the head of the screw 112 and tighten it without the need for complex tools, thus reducing the difficulty of operation and assembly time costs.
[0040] The screw shank of screw 112 is telescopically positioned within the insertion hole 111, working in conjunction with the first limiting member 113 to form a reliable anti-removal mechanism. The outer diameter of the first limiting member 113 is larger than the diameter of the insertion hole 111, and together with the head of screw 112, it limits and stops the screw shank of screw 112 from both sides of the first housing 11, effectively preventing the screw shank of screw 112 from accidentally retracting from the insertion hole 111. During long-term operation of the equipment, even under the influence of external forces such as vibration and impact, this structure ensures that screw 112 is stably fixed to the first housing 11, maintaining the tightness of the connecting parts and preventing equipment failure due to screw loosening, thus ensuring the safety and stability of equipment operation. In addition, this structural design facilitates disassembly and maintenance. When it is necessary to inspect the equipment or replace parts, the user can quickly tighten screw 112 without worrying about screws falling off or being lost, further improving the maintainability and practicality of the equipment.
[0041] Specifically, the second housing 12 has a mounting groove 121 on its end face near the first housing 11, and a bushing 122 with an internal threaded hole is fixedly inserted into the mounting groove 121; the screw shank of the screw 112 passes through the insertion hole 111 of the first housing 11 and is screwed into the internal threaded hole of the bushing 122.
[0042] In practical use, the second housing 12 features a mounting groove 121 and a bushing 122 that is screwed into it with a screw 112, further optimizing the connection structure between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The screwing connection between the internal threaded hole of the bushing 122 and the screw shank of the screw 112, compared to directly machining threads on the housing, can withstand greater tightening force, improving the strength and reliability of the connection. In the working environment of frequent robot movement and vibration, this high-strength connection effectively prevents relative displacement or loosening between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, ensuring the stability of the overall connector structure. Furthermore, the bushing 122 facilitates later maintenance and replacement. If the connection is damaged during use, only the bushing 122 needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire housing, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty, and improving the ease of connector maintenance.
[0043] Specifically, the first housing 11 is provided with a recessed hollow portion 114 along the assembly direction, and the second housing 12 is provided with a protrusion 123 that is complementary in shape to the hollow portion 114. The protrusion 123 is embedded in the hollow portion 114 along the assembly direction; the second through hole 14 passes through the protrusion 123 along the assembly direction and communicates with the first through hole 13.
[0044] In practical use, the interlocking structure of the hollow portion 114 of the first housing 11 and the protrusion 123 of the second housing 12 not only achieves precise positioning between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, but also enhances the tightness of their connection. During assembly, the protrusion 123 is embedded in the hollow portion 114, which can quickly and accurately determine the relative position of the two housings, reducing assembly errors and improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, this complementary shape design allows the two housings to form a whole after connection, effectively enhancing the overall structural strength of the connector. In addition, the second through hole 14, which passes through the protrusion 123 and connects with the first through hole 13 along the assembly direction, provides a smooth channel for the installation of the male terminal 21 and the female terminal 22, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the connector assembly 2 installation, further improving the overall performance of the connector, and enabling it to better adapt to the complex working environment of artificial intelligence robots.
[0045] Specifically, the first through hole 13 is provided with a through hole post 15, which forms a through structure communicating with the first through hole 13; the through hole post 15 protrudes from the end face of the first housing 11 toward the second housing 12 along the assembly direction, and its outer diameter is in clearance fit with the inner diameter of the second through hole 14; during assembly, the end face of the through hole post 15 abuts against the stepped surface of the second through hole 14. The end face of the through hole post 15 and the stepped surface of the second through hole 14 together form a sealing structure.
[0046] In practical use, the design of the first through-hole 13 with the through-hole post 15 cooperating with the second through-hole 14 to form a sealing structure effectively improves the sealing performance of the connector. In the working environment of artificial intelligence robots, they may face harsh conditions such as dust and moisture. A good sealing structure can prevent dust and moisture from entering the connector, avoiding corrosion of the male terminal 21 and female terminal 22 or affecting the electrical connection performance. The clearance fit between the through-hole post 15 and the second through-hole 14, as well as the end-face abutment method, forms an effective sealing barrier, preventing external impurities from entering. At the same time, this sealing structure design also helps to improve the protection level of the connector, enabling it to work stably in harsher environments, expanding the application range of the connector, and providing a guarantee for the reliable operation of artificial intelligence robots in different environments.
[0047] Specifically, the first housing 11 has a rectangular structure, and multiple insertion holes 111 are distributed at the corners of the first housing 11 and are arranged symmetrically along the diagonal of the first housing 11.
[0048] In practical use, from a structural mechanics perspective, the symmetrically arranged sockets 111 ensure a more uniform distribution of the tightening force of the screws 112 on the first housing 11, effectively improving the structural strength and stability of the first housing 11 and preventing deformation or damage caused by uneven stress. During assembly, the symmetrically distributed sockets 111 facilitate quick and accurate screw installation by operators, improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the rectangular structure of the first housing 11 makes internal installation within the robot more convenient, allowing for better integration with other components, saving space, and optimizing the robot's internal structural design. This design enables the connector to meet structural strength and stability requirements while also enhancing its convenience and applicability during robot assembly.
[0049] Specifically, the limiting component 3 includes a through-hole limiting structure disposed in the first through-hole 13 and a female end limiting structure disposed in the female terminal 22; the through-hole limiting structure includes a second limiting member 31, the second limiting member 31 protruding inward from the side wall of the first housing 11 into a ring structure, and the ring structure protruding inward at the end face of the first housing 11 facing the second housing 12 into an arc-shaped limiting portion 311; the second limiting member 31 is provided with a receiving groove 32 along the length direction of the first through-hole 13 and a third limiting member 33 along the circumferential direction of the first through-hole 13, the third limiting member 33 being accommodated in the receiving groove 32, the end of the female terminal 22 used to connect to the male terminal 21 abutting against the arc-shaped limiting portion 311, and the female end limiting structure being accommodated in the receiving groove 32 and abutting against the third limiting member 33.
[0050] In actual use, the coordinated design of the through-hole limiting structure and the female end limiting structure in the limiting component 3 achieves omnidirectional limiting of the female terminal 22. The annular structure formed by the second limiting member 31 and the receiving groove 32 provide installation space and limiting foundation for the third limiting member 33 and the female end limiting structure. The fifth limiting member 35 in the female end limiting structure abuts against the third limiting member 33, restricting the movement of the female terminal 22 in the length direction of the first through hole 13; the sixth limiting member 36 is limited by the third limiting member 33 and / or the second limiting member 31, preventing the female terminal 22 from rotating in the circumferential direction of the first through hole 13. This omnidirectional limiting method ensures that the position of the female terminal 22 is fixed in the first through hole 13, effectively preventing displacement or rotation of the female terminal 22 during use, and ensuring the stability of the connector's electrical connection. During the operation of the artificial intelligence robot, even when subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, the female terminal 22 can maintain a stable installation state, avoiding electrical faults caused by the displacement of the female terminal 22, and improving the reliability and service life of the connector. The annular structure and arc-shaped limiting part 311 of the second limiting member 31 abut tightly against the end of the female terminal 22, forming a stable axial positioning. This design effectively limits the axial displacement of the female terminal 22 within the first through hole 13, ensuring a reliable connection between the female terminal 22 and the male terminal 21 even under high-frequency vibration or impact conditions of the robot, and avoiding poor electrical contact due to loosening.
[0051] Specifically, the female end limiting structure includes a fourth limiting member 34, a fifth limiting member 35, and a sixth limiting member 36 arranged along the length direction of the female end 22. When the female end 22 is inserted into the first through hole 13, the fifth limiting member 35 is accommodated in the receiving groove 32 and abuts against the third limiting member 33 along the length direction of the first through hole 13. At the same time, the sixth limiting member 36 is accommodated in the receiving groove 32 and is limited by the third limiting member 33 and / or the second limiting member 31 along the circumferential direction of the first through hole 13, so as to restrict the female end 22 from rotating along the circumferential direction of the first through hole 13. The line direction connecting the fourth limiting member 34, the fifth limiting member 35, and the sixth limiting member 36 is parallel to the central axis direction of the first through hole 13, so as to adjust the insertion position direction of the female end 22 when the female end 22 passes through the third limiting member 33, so that the fifth limiting member 35 and the sixth limiting member 36 are inserted into the first through hole 13 along the extension direction of the receiving groove 32.
[0052] In practical use, the fourth limiting member 34, the fifth limiting member 35, and the sixth limiting member 36 in the female end limiting structure further optimize the assembly and limiting process of the female terminal 22. The design of the line connecting the fourth limiting member 34, the fifth limiting member 35, and the sixth limiting member 36 being parallel to the central axis of the first through hole 13 provides clear guidance for the insertion of the female terminal 22. This facilitates the operator to quickly and accurately adjust the insertion position of the female terminal 22 during assembly, allowing the fifth limiting member 35 and the sixth limiting member 36 to smoothly insert into the first through hole 13 along the extension direction of the receiving groove 32, reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, this design, while ensuring accurate assembly of the female terminal 22, effectively limits its movement through the cooperation of the fifth limiting member 35 and the sixth limiting member 36 with other components of the limiting assembly 3. This prevents displacement and rotation of the female terminal 22 during use, ensuring the reliability of the connector's electrical connection and enabling the connector to operate stably in the complex working environment of the artificial intelligence robot.
[0053] Specifically, the limiting component 3 includes a seventh limiting component 37 for limiting the spring component 23. The seventh limiting component 37 protrudes inward from the side wall of the female terminal 22. When the female terminal 22 is assembled with the first through hole 13, the spring component 23 is limited along the central axis of the first through hole 13 by the seventh limiting component 37 and the inner end face of the first housing 11.
[0054] In actual use, the seventh limiting member 37 in the limiting assembly 3 limits the spring member 23, ensuring its stable installation in the connector. When the female terminal 22 is assembled with the first through hole 13, the spring member 23 is limited along the central axis of the first through hole 13 by the seventh limiting member 37 and the inner end face of the first housing 11, preventing axial displacement or detachment of the spring member 23 during use. As a key component enhancing the electrical connection between the male terminal 21 and the female terminal 22, the stable installation of the spring member 23 is crucial. During robot operation, the spring member 23 may be subjected to various external forces, such as vibration and impact. The seventh limiting member 37 ensures that the spring member 23 always remains in the correct position, maintaining good contact with the male terminal 21, thereby guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the electrical connection. This limiting design effectively improves the performance and service life of the connector, providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the artificial intelligence robot.
[0055] In this embodiment, the number of through holes and the number of connector assemblies 2 are both set to multiple, and the first through hole 13 corresponds one-to-one with the female terminal 22, the second through hole 14 corresponds one-to-one with the male terminal 21, and the first through hole 13 corresponds one-to-one with the second through hole 14.
[0056] In practical applications, multiple through-holes and connector assemblies 2 are used in a one-to-one correspondence, which greatly enhances the integration and functionality of the connector. Multiple first through-holes 13 precisely match the female terminal 22, and second through-holes 14 precisely match the male terminal 21, enabling parallel transmission of multiple signals and power, meeting the high demands of the complex internal systems of artificial intelligence robots for data interaction and energy supply. In practical applications, robots need to simultaneously process sensor signals, control command transmission, and motor drive functions. The parallel operation of multiple connector assemblies 2 significantly improves data transmission efficiency, avoids signal interference, and ensures the coordinated and stable operation of all robot components. Furthermore, this one-to-one correspondence makes connector assembly and maintenance more convenient. Each terminal and through-hole has a clear correspondence, allowing technicians to quickly locate fault points for targeted repair and replacement, reducing maintenance costs and time, and improving the overall reliability and maintainability of the robot system.
[0057] In this embodiment, the male terminal 21 is provided with a groove 211, and the second housing 12 and the second through hole 14 are injection molded by injection molding process. The groove 211 is used to cooperate with the small protrusions on the inner wall of the second through hole 14 to increase the stability between the male terminal 21 and the second housing 12.
[0058] In practical use, the design of the male terminal 21 with a groove 211 that engages with the tiny protrusions on the inner wall of the second housing 12 during injection molding significantly enhances the stability between the male terminal 21 and the second housing 12 from a structural perspective. During injection molding, the tiny protrusions on the inner wall of the second through hole 14 can be tightly embedded in the groove 211 of the male terminal 21, forming a mechanical locking structure. This structure ensures that the male terminal 21 and the second housing 12 are not only fixed by traditional contact friction but also prevent relative displacement through physical interlocking. During the operation of artificial intelligence robots, external forces such as vibration and impact are inevitable. This design effectively resists the impact of these external forces on the connector, preventing the male terminal 21 from loosening or falling off, and ensuring the stability of the electrical connection. In addition, the injection molding process itself has the advantages of low cost and high production efficiency. By combining structural optimization with the injection molding process, product performance is improved while production costs are reduced, facilitating large-scale production and application, and providing strong support for the industrialization and promotion of artificial intelligence robot connectors.
