AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional automotive TYPE-C connectors are prone to loosening during bumpy rides, leading to poor contact or broken connections, which can affect driving safety.

Method used

A TYPE-C connector with a snap-fit ​​socket is designed. The snap-fit ​​socket has an inner slot and a snap-fit ​​groove, and is equipped with an outer snap-fit ​​claw and a return spring. The snap-fit ​​structure improves the connection stability. The outer snap-fit ​​claw deforms and returns to its original position when inserted, ensuring a secure connection between the plug and the socket.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents loose connections, improves the structural strength between the socket and the connector, avoids poor contact, enhances driving safety, and is suitable for different vehicle models without modification, making it easy to use.

Abstract

This utility model discloses a novel automotive TYPE-C connector, including an injection-molded outer shell. A snap-fit ​​seat is located at the front end of the injection-molded outer shell. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​seat has a hollow structure design. Inner slots are formed on both sides of the hollow slot of the snap-fit ​​seat, and a snap-fit ​​groove is formed at the rear end of the inner slot. Outer claws, adapted to the inner slots and snap-fit ​​grooves, are fixedly installed on both sides of the injection-molded outer shell. A return spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer claws. The end of the return spring away from the outer claws is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the injection-molded outer shell. This utility model can effectively improve the structural strength between the automotive TYPE-C socket and the connector, providing a certain degree of anti-detachment connection. It can effectively prevent the TYPE-C connection structure in the vehicle from becoming loose due to vehicle bumps, improve the stability of the structural connection, avoid poor contact caused by connector loosening, improve driving safety, and reduce safety hazards.
