[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a floating connector, including a male connector 1 and a female connector 2. The male connector 1 includes a housing 11 and a power connection assembly 12.

[0029] There is a space for movement between the housing 11 and the periphery of the power connection component 12;

[0030] The power receiving assembly 12 is provided with an elastic element 3 on its periphery that abuts against the inner wall of the housing 11;

[0031] The power connection assembly 12 is provided with a positioning pin 122 on the side facing the female connector 2;

[0032] The female head 2 has a tapered guide hole 22 on the side opposite to the male head 1, which corresponds to the alignment pin 122.

[0033] With the above-described structural configuration, the device, during use, features a male connector 1 composed of a housing 11 and a power connection component 12, with a space for movement between the housing 11 and the power connection component 12. During the docking process between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, the alignment pin 122 and the tapered guide hole 22 allow for adjustment of the position of the power connection component 12 inside the male connector 1 by guiding the alignment pin 122 through the tapered guide hole 22 when there is a deviation between the male connector 1 and the female connector. This allows the power connection component 12 to float within the male connector 1, ensuring accurate docking of the conductive components inside the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 even when the docking accuracy is low.

[0034] It is easy to imagine that the power connection component 12 and the female connector 2 are respectively provided with conductive pins 121 and conductive sockets 21 on opposite sides.

[0035] It should be noted that the elastic element 3 is a metal spring sheet, and one end of the metal spring sheet is fixed to the periphery of the power connection component 12 by bolts.

[0036] It should be added that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the elastic element 3 at the bottom of the power connection assembly 12 is a bearing spring. Both ends of the bearing spring are fixed to the power connection assembly 12 by bolts, and the bearing spring has an arc-shaped protrusion that contacts the bottom wall of the housing 11 to support the power connection assembly 12.

[0037] The elastic element 3 on the top and side of the power receiving component 12 is an abutment spring piece with one end connected to the power receiving component 12.

[0038] The elastic elements 3 on the top and sides of the power connection assembly 12 are only used to push the power connection assembly 12 back to its original position when it is disconnected from the female head, so that it is located in the center of the housing 11, ready for subsequent reconnection.

[0039] In this application, the end of the alignment pin 122 away from the alignment pin 122 is provided with a conical surface.

[0040] Furthermore, the tapered guide hole 22 consists of a socket with an inner diameter that matches the alignment pin 122 and a tapered hole. It is easy to imagine that the diameter of the tapered hole is larger than the diameter of the alignment pin 122. Secondly, the radius of the tapered hole corresponds to the width of the movable space between the housing 11 and the power connection assembly 12, in order to guide the alignment pin 122.

[0041] With the above structural setup, when a deviation occurs during the docking process of male head 1 and female head 2, the alignment pin 122 is inserted into the tapered hole of the tapered guide hole 22. Guided by the tapered hole, it causes the male head 1 to deviate. During this process, the alignment pin 122 drives the electrical connection component 12 to float in the movable space, and the corresponding elastic element 3 is pressed. The conductive pins 121 and conductive holes 21 on the electrical connection component 12 and female head 2 are in the corresponding state, thus achieving docking.

[0042] After use, when the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are disconnected, the power connection assembly 12 is reset to the center of the housing 11 under the action of the elastic element 3, ready for subsequent reconnection.

[0043] In one embodiment, the number of the alignment pins 122 and the tapered guide holes 22 are two sets, and they are symmetrically distributed on the male head 1 and the female head 2, respectively.

[0044] In another preferred embodiment, the female connector 2 includes a housing 11 and a power connection component, with a space for movement between the housing 11 and the power connection component around their periphery;

[0045] The power connection component is provided with an elastic element 3 that abuts against the inner wall of the housing 11.

[0046] It should be noted in this application that either the male connector 1 or the female connector 2 may be composed of a housing 11 and a power connection component 12, or both may be composed of a housing 11 and a power connection component 12, in order to achieve the purpose of floating docking.

[0047] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0048] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0049] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
