Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connectors, and more specifically to a connector that is locked by rotation. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connectors, also known as circuit connectors or electronic connectors, are used to bridge two electrical components in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one component to another. Because electrical connectors are easy to manufacture into standardized components and offer high electrical connection reliability, they are particularly suitable for modular components.

[0003] In related technologies, electrical connectors generally include wire-end connectors and board-end connectors. The wire-end connector is inserted into the board-end connector to achieve an electrical connection. During the insertion process, the elastic latch on the wire-end connector is inserted into or pulled out of the board-end connector under a certain compressive force, and then contacts and connects with the connection terminal. The use of elastic latches has disadvantages such as latch sagging, insufficient latching force, and latch failure under external force. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connector that is locked by rotation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A connector that is locked by rotation includes a board-end connector and a wire-end connector. The board-end connector includes a board-end pin seat, which includes a slot. A through hole is provided on one side of the slot, and a boss is provided on the opposite side of the through hole. The wire-end connector includes a wire-end hole seat, which has a protrusion on one side. When the wire-end hole seat is inserted into the slot, the protrusion abuts against the outer side of the boss and rotates 180° to allow the protrusion to enter the through hole. The protrusion is then pushed into the through hole and abuts against the side of the slot near the bottom surface. The protrusion is rotated 180° again to allow the protrusion to abut against the side of the boss near the bottom surface of the slot.

[0006] Preferably, the wire-end connector further includes a terminal, the wire-end socket includes a terminal hole, and the terminal is inserted into the terminal hole; the board-end connector includes a pin, the board-end pin socket includes a pin hole, the pin is inserted into the pin hole, and the pin is inserted into the terminal.

[0007] Preferably, the terminal has bending members on both sides of the pin, and the bending members have protrusions that abut against the pin.

[0008] Preferably, the plate end pin seat has multiple raised surfaces on both sides of the through hole.

[0009] Preferably, the plate end needle seat has multiple concave surfaces on both sides.

[0010] Preferably, the outer side of the pin hole is provided with a guide groove to facilitate pin insertion.

[0011] Preferably, the wire end hole seat has a hook on one side, the hook has a notch around its periphery, and the terminal includes a snap-fit ​​foot that abuts against the hook.

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0028] The components of the present invention embodiments described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.

[0029] 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.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiments or examples. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the device includes a board-end connector 1 and a wire-end connector 2. The board-end connector 1 includes a board-end pin seat 11, which includes a slot 111. A through hole 112 is provided on one side of the slot 111, and a boss 113 is provided on the opposite side of the through hole 112. The wire-end connector 2 includes a wire-end hole seat 21, which has a protrusion 211 on one side. Figure 3 As shown, when the wire end hole seat 21 is inserted into the slot 111, the protrusion 211 abuts against the outer side of the boss 113, as... Figure 4 As shown, the wire end hole seat 21 is rotated 180° so that the protrusion 211 enters the through hole 112, and the protrusion 211 is pushed into the through hole 112 to the side near the bottom surface of the slot 111, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, rotating 180° again causes the protrusion 211 to abut against the boss 113 near the bottom surface of the slot 111. The board-end pin seat 11 and the wire-end hole seat 21 adopt a rigid locking structure, that is, the protrusion 211 and the boss 113 are locked by rotation. Compared with the elastic locking used in most existing connectors, which has disadvantages such as locking buckle sagging, insufficient locking force, and locking failure under external force, the rigid locking structure can effectively solve the above problems. Due to the use of a rigid locking structure, compared with elastic locking, it requires less space, which allows the connector to be made thinner and smaller, effectively saving PCB board space and improving the application range. The two inner sides of the board-end pin seat 11 are respectively formed by the boss 113 and the through hole 112 to form a foolproof structure, which can prevent the wire-end hole seat from being installed backwards.

[0034] The plate-end pin holder 11 has multiple concave surfaces 117 on both sides; the outer side of the pin hole 115 has a guide groove 118 to facilitate the insertion of the pin 12; the wire end hole holder 21 has a hook 213 on one side, and the hook 213 has a notch 214 on its periphery; the terminal 22 includes a snap-fit ​​foot 221, which abuts against the hook 213; the terminal 22 includes a wire crimping foot 222, which includes multiple grooves 223 to increase the contact area when crimping cables; the pin 12 has chamfers 123 at both ends to facilitate insertion; the wire end hole holder 21 has arc-shaped surfaces 214 on both sides to facilitate rotation within the slot 111; the outer sides of the wire end hole holder 21 have an arc structure to facilitate rotation, reduce wear between the plate-end pin holder 11 and the wire end hole holder 21, and improve product stability.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.
