The lower ends of the first sleeve and the second sleeve abut against the lower end faces of the first limiting member and the second limiting member, respectively. The upper ends of the first sleeve and the second sleeve are limited by positioning grooves symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the rear fixing seat.

[0007] According to the interface structure of the connector assembly according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the elastic unit includes a first elastic element, which is an integral elastic structure. The first elastic element includes a left arm, a left spring, a right arm, a right spring, and a first connecting rod. The left spring and the right spring are connected by the first connecting rod. The left arm and the right arm extend from the sides of the left spring and the right spring respectively. The left arm and the right arm of the first elastic element simultaneously abut against the upper positioning hole and / or the lower positioning hole of the rear fixing seat. The first elastic element is arranged laterally along the rear fixing seat.

[0008] According to the interface structure of the connector assembly according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the elastic unit includes four second elastic elements, each second elastic element including an upper arm, a lower arm and a torsion spring, there is no linkage structure between two second elastic elements, the four second elastic elements are respectively sleeved on the upper and / or lower ends of the first limiting member and the second limiting member, and the upper arm and lower arm of the second elastic element abut against the rear fixed seat and the front fixed seat respectively.

When the plug is inserted into place, the first sleeve and the second sleeve are engaged in the limiting groove on the plug under the elastic reset action of the elastic component.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: through the self-locking structure principle of the elastic component, when the plug is inserted, the elastic element abuts against the limiting groove at the end of the plug to achieve self-locking of the plug and avoid external force causing the plug to shake or fall off. When the plug is pulled out, it is necessary to overcome the elastic deformation of the elastic element. By changing the elastic coefficient of the elastic element, the insertion and pulling force can be changed to achieve a reliable connection between the plug and the socket.
