These connectors are widely used in the industry due to their standardization and ease of procurement and replacement.

[0003] However, general-purpose connectors have significant drawbacks in practical applications. Since most general-purpose connectors do not have reinforcement structures between the connectors, when the equipment encounters complex mechanical environments such as vibration and bumps during transportation or use, the contacts inside the connector, such as pins and sockets, are prone to relative displacement, causing them to fall off and separate. This seriously affects the stable power supply from the battery to the critical circuits.

[0004] Based on this, in order to optimize the connection stability and reliability between existing electrical connectors, we propose a vertical battery connector. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the ends of both the U-shaped piece and the flat piece are bent into an elastic portion, which is used to contact the connecting piece.

[0009] Furthermore, the foolproof structure includes a guide protrusion formed on the outer side of a plug arm, and a foolproof groove formed on the inner side of the female seat, wherein the guide protrusion and the foolproof groove are plugged into each other.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer sides of the guide protrusion and the other plug-in arm are provided with grooves, and an elastic arm is fixedly installed inside the groove. A positioning protrusion is formed on the end face of the elastic arm. The anti-fooling groove and the other inner side of the female seat are both formed with positioning grooves, and the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are inserted into each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the connecting piece is formed with a plug-in portion, the outer side of the plug-in portion is formed with an elastic claw, the end face of the male seat has a plug hole, the interior of the plug hole is connected to a slot, the plug-in portion passes through the interior of the plug hole, and the elastic claw is engaged in the slot.

[0012] The vertical battery connector proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: The connector in this utility model achieves electrical connection between the male and female sockets through contact between the connecting piece and the conductive piece.
