[0002] Electronic connectors are components that enable pluggable electrical connections between electronic devices through mechanical structures. They typically consist of a plug (male) and a socket (female) mating together.
[0003] Traditional pluggable electronic connectors suffer from unstable connections during use. When subjected to external vibrations or shaking, the plug and socket can easily loosen or even separate, leading to circuit interruptions, unstable signal transmission, and affecting the normal operation of electronic devices. While some connectors have locking mechanisms, their operation is complex, requiring users to spend considerable time and effort locking and unlocking during plugging and unplugging, reducing efficiency. Furthermore, traditional connectors have poor sealing performance, allowing external dust and moisture to easily enter the connector, damaging internal circuitry and shortening its lifespan.

[0006] The locking assembly includes a housing symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the socket. The outer wall of the housing has a set of mounting holes symmetrically opened. Each set of mounting holes has a sliding column slidably connected inside. Each set of sliding columns has a handle fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column. Each set of sliding columns has a spring sleeved on its outer wall. Each set of sliding columns has a locking block fixedly connected to its outer wall. The outer wall of the plug has a U-shaped shell fixedly connected. The inner wall of the U-shaped shell contacts the outer wall of the socket. The outer wall of the plug has a plug block symmetrically fixedly connected. The outer wall of the plug block has symmetrically opened locking grooves.

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0024] Example 1, according to Figures 1-5 As shown, a pluggable electronic connector includes a socket 1, a plug 2 is inserted into the inside of the socket 1, a locking component 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the socket 1, and a snap-fit component 4 is provided on the outer wall of the plug 2.
[0025] Locking assembly 3 includes a housing 301 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of socket 1. A set of mounting holes 302 are symmetrically formed on the outer wall of housing 301. A sliding post 303 is slidably connected inside each of the mounting holes 302. A handle 304 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each sliding post 303. A spring 305 is fitted onto the outer wall of each sliding post 303. A locking block 306 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each sliding post 303. A U-shaped shell 307 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of plug 2. The inner wall of 7 contacts the outer wall of socket 1. The outer wall of plug 2 is symmetrically fixedly connected with plug block 308. The outer wall of plug block 308 is symmetrically provided with slot 309. The inner wall of slot 309 is engaged with the outer wall of plug block 306. One end of spring 305 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of housing 301, and the other end of spring 305 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of slot block 306. Both slot block 306 and slot 309 are trapezoidal structures. The outer wall of slot block 306 is adapted to the inner wall of slot 309.
[0026] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: The locking component 3, through its ingenious structural design, effectively overcomes the shortcomings of traditional pluggable electronic connectors. The locking cooperation of the sliding post 303, the locking block 306, and the slot 309, combined with the convenient operation of the handle 304, not only achieves a stable connection between the plug 2 and the socket 1, but also greatly simplifies the locking and unlocking operations during the plugging and unplugging process, thus improving efficiency. The synergistic effect of the locking component 4, the locking groove 403, and the protrusion 402, combined with the sealing structure formed by the sealing strip 406 and the U-shaped shell 307, significantly enhances the protective performance of the connector, effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior and protecting the circuit. In addition, the trapezoidal structure of the locking block 306 and the slot 309, as well as the reset design of the spring 305, ensures the long-term stable operation of the component. The compact structure also meets the needs of miniaturized electronic devices, improving the performance and reliability of pluggable electronic connectors in many ways.
[0027] Example 2, according to Figures 4-5 As shown, the snap-fit assembly 4 includes snap-fit members 401 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug 2. The outer wall of the snap-fit member 401 snaps into the inner wall of the socket 1. A protrusion 402 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the snap-fit member 401. A locking groove 403 is symmetrically opened on the outer wall of the socket 1. The inner wall of the locking groove 403 snaps into the outer wall of the protrusion 402. A set of insertion grooves 404 is symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the socket 1. A set of insertion blocks 405 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug 2. The inner wall of the set of insertion grooves 404 snaps into the outer wall of the insertion blocks 405. A sealing strip 406 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the socket 1. The outer wall of the sealing strip 406 contacts the inner wall of the U-shaped shell 307.
[0028] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is as follows: the snap-fit component 401 snaps into the inner wall of the socket 1, while the protrusion 402 cooperates with the locking groove 403 to restrict the displacement of the plug 2 relative to the socket 1 from multiple directions, preventing the plug 2 from loosening or falling off due to vibration, external pulling, etc. during use, thus ensuring the reliability of the electronic connection. The insertion groove 404 on the inner wall of the socket 1 snaps into the insertion block 405 on the outer wall of the plug 2, which can ensure that the plug 2 is accurately inserted into the corresponding position of the socket 1, improving the convenience of insertion and removal operations and the accuracy of connection, avoiding problems such as poor contact caused by misalignment. The sealing strip 406 on the outer wall of the socket 1 contacts the inner wall of the U-shaped shell 307 to form a sealing structure, effectively blocking external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the connector, protecting the internal electrical components, and improving the environmental adaptability and service life of the connector.
[0029] The working principle of the entire device is as follows: When the plug 2 is aligned with the socket 1, a set of symmetrically arranged plug blocks 405 on the outer wall of the plug 2 and a set of symmetrically arranged plug slots 404 on the inner wall of the socket 1 are mutually compatible. Therefore, during the insertion process, the plug blocks 405 can smoothly slide into the plug slots 404, playing a preliminary positioning and guiding role, ensuring that the plug 2 can be accurately inserted into the socket 1. As the plug 2 continues to be inserted, when the U-shaped shell 307 on the outer wall of the plug 2 contacts the outer wall of the socket 1, the plug blocks 308 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug 2 also reach the corresponding position. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring 305, the sliding column 303 drives the locking block 306 to move towards the plug block 308. Because the locking blocks 306 and the locking slots 309 on the outer walls of the plug blocks 308 are both trapezoidal structures and mutually compatible, the locking block 306 can... The plug 2 is successfully inserted into the slot 309, locking the plug 2 and socket 1 in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the snap-fit piece 401, which is symmetrically fixed to the outer wall of the plug 2, gradually enters the socket 1 as the plug 2 is inserted. The protrusion 402 on the outer wall of the snap-fit piece 401 and the locking groove 403 symmetrically opened on the outer wall of the socket 1 engage with each other, locking the plug 2 and socket 1 in the vertical direction. Through the dual locking in the horizontal and vertical directions, the plug 2 and socket 1 are firmly connected, ensuring that the electronic connector will not easily loosen during operation. In addition, the sealing strip 406, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the socket 1, comes into close contact with the inner wall of the U-shaped shell 307 after the plug 2 is inserted into place, playing a sealing role and preventing dust, moisture and other external impurities from entering the connector and affecting its electrical performance and service life.
[0030] When it is necessary to unplug the plug 2 from the socket 1, pull the handle 304 on the outer wall of the housing 301 outward. The handle 304 drives the slide column 303 to slide outward in the mounting hole 302, compressing the spring 305, causing the locking block 306 to disengage from the slot 309 of the plug block 308, releasing the horizontal lock. Then, press the protrusion 402 on the outside of the connector 401 inward to pull the plug 2 out of the socket 1. During the pulling process, the plug block 405 slides out of the plug slot 404, and the plug 2 separates from the socket 1, completing the disassembly operation of the electronic connector.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
