A connector having a reinforced baffle structure

Abstract

This utility model relates to the technical field of electrical connectors and discloses a connector with a reinforced baffle structure, including a first connector and a second connector that mates with the first connector. The second connector includes a plastic body and a plug-in portion located at the front end of the plastic body for mating with the first connector. A locking portion is formed on the upper surface of the plastic body, and the two side walls of the locking portion form a first baffle. The first baffle includes opposing outer and inner sides, and the outer and / or inner sides are inclined structures. By changing the traditional straight baffle to an inclined structure, the mechanical strength of the first baffle is effectively improved without significantly changing the overall appearance and assembly method of the product. This significantly reduces the risk of deformation and breakage of the first baffle under stress, thereby improving the overall quality and service life of the connector.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electrical connectors, and specifically to a connector with a reinforced baffle structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electrical connectors, locking mechanisms are often required after male and female plugs are mated to prevent accidental detachment. A common locking structure involves a locking part on the male plug with a built-in elastic locking element (such as a spring or clip). The locking element engages with the corresponding groove on the female plug to achieve a lock.

[0003] In existing technologies, the sidewalls of the locking mechanism are typically designed as vertical, straight-faced structures. When the connector is subjected to axial tension, torsion, or lateral stress during insertion and removal, this straight-faced baffle structure concentrates stress at the base of the baffle (i.e., the connection point with the plastic body), leading to insufficient baffle strength and making it highly susceptible to deformation or even breakage. Baffle breakage can cause the locking function to fail, resulting in accidental separation of the male and female plugs, causing serious consequences such as power outages and signal interruptions, posing significant functional and reliability risks.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve this connector with a straight baffle structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a connector with a reinforced baffle structure. By optimizing the baffle structure design, the bending and fracture resistance of the first baffle in the locking part is significantly improved.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An embodiment of this application provides a connector with a reinforced baffle structure, including a first connector and a second connector that is mated and connected to the first connector. The second connector includes a plastic body and a plug-in portion disposed at the front end of the plastic body for mating with the first connector. A locking portion is formed on the upper surface of the plastic body. The two side walls of the locking portion form a first baffle. The first baffle includes opposing outer side surfaces and a first inner side surface. The outer side surface and / or the first inner side surface are inclined structures.

[0007] Optionally, the upper surface of the plastic body is provided with second baffles at both ends, and the second inner surfaces of the second baffles facing each other are inclined structures.

[0008] Optionally, the first baffle is an inverted L-shaped structure with a locking arm extending inward from the top.

[0009] Optionally, the thickness of one end of the first baffle and / or the second baffle at the connection with the plastic body is greater than the thickness of the other end.

[0010] Optionally, the first baffle extending from the locking arm to the plastic body gradually thickens downwards.

[0011] Optionally, the inclined structure forms an angle α greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees between its wall surface and the connected plastic body base surface.

[0012] Optionally, the plastic body, the first baffle, and the second baffle are integrally injection molded.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention effectively improves the bending and fracture resistance of the first baffle by changing the traditional straight surface to an inclined surface structure without significantly altering the overall appearance and assembly method of the product. This significantly reduces the risk of deformation and breakage of the first baffle under stress, ensures the long-term reliable operation of the locking mechanism, and improves the overall quality and service life of the connector.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a connector with a reinforced baffle structure, including a first connector 1 and a second connector 2 that is inserted and connected to the first connector 1. The second connector 2 includes a plastic body 21 and a plug-in portion 22 disposed at the front end of the plastic body 21 for cooperating with the first connector 1. A locking portion 211 is formed on the upper surface of the plastic body 21. The two side walls of the locking portion 211 form two first baffles 2111. Each first baffle 2111 includes an opposite outer side 2112 and a first inner side 2113. The outer side 2112 and / or the first inner side 2113 are inclined structures. In the embodiments of this application, at least one side of the outer side 2112 and / or the first inner side 2113 of the first baffle 2111 is designed as an inclined structure, and the position of the inclined surface is not specifically limited. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first baffle 2111 may have an outer side 2112 with a beveled structure and an inner side 2113 with a straight structure. In other embodiments, the first baffle 2111 may have an inner side 2113 with a beveled structure and an outer side 2112 with a straight structure. In yet another embodiment, the first baffle 2111 may have both an outer side 2112 and an inner side 2113 with beveled structures. The first baffle 2111 with a beveled structure effectively improves the bending and fracture resistance of the first baffle 2111 without significantly altering the overall appearance and assembly method of the product. This significantly reduces the risk of deformation and fracture under stress, ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the locking mechanism and improving the overall quality and service life of the connector.

[0020] The upper surface of the plastic body 21 has two upwardly extending second baffles 212 at both ends. The second inner surfaces 2121 of the second baffles 212, which are arranged facing each other, have a sloping structure. The sloping structure of the second baffles 212 also improves the bending and breaking strength.

[0021] The first baffle 2111 has an inverted L-shaped structure, and its top extends inward with a locking arm 2114 for limiting the position.

[0022] The thickness of one end of the first baffle 2111 and / or the second baffle 212 at the connection with the plastic body 21 is greater than the thickness of the other end. The first baffle 2111, extending from the locking arm 2114 to the point where it connects with the plastic body 21, gradually thickens downwards. Specifically, the inclined structure forms an angle α greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees between its wall surface and the base surface of the connected plastic body 21.

[0023] The plastic body 21, the first baffle 2111, and the second baffle 212 are integrally injection molded.

[0024] When unlocking is required, press the first baffles 2111 on both sides toward the middle to release the lock.

[0025] In summary, the key design features of this utility model are: This invention effectively improves the bending and fracture resistance of the first baffle by changing the traditional straight surface to an inclined surface structure without significantly altering the overall appearance and assembly method of the product. This significantly reduces the risk of deformation and breakage of the first baffle under stress, ensures the long-term reliable operation of the locking mechanism, and improves the overall quality and service life of the connector.
