Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a female connector. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electronic equipment and electrical system connections, the development of connector technology is crucial. With continuous technological advancements, the functions of electronic devices are becoming increasingly diverse, placing ever higher demands on the performance and stability of connectors. As a key component for achieving circuit connections and signal transmission, the quality and reliability of connectors directly affect the overall system's operation. Good connector design can improve signal transmission stability, reduce signal interference and loss, thereby ensuring the normal operation of electronic equipment. In numerous electronic equipment connection scenarios, the performance of connectors has a significant impact on the overall performance of the equipment and the user experience.

[0003] In traditional female connector design, several methods are typically employed to achieve the connector's basic functions. One common approach is to directly mount the base within a simple housing, providing some protection. However, this method lacks effective utilization and management of the space surrounding the base. Another approach involves incorporating simple support structures between the housing and the base to enhance connection stability. However, these support structures are often poorly designed, offering limited protection and fixation for the base. Furthermore, some traditional designs simply create holes to connect the connector's internal space to the external channels, but these holes often lack good connectivity and aesthetics. While these conventional methods can meet basic connector usage requirements to some extent, their limitations become increasingly apparent when facing complex operating environments and higher performance demands.

[0004] However, traditional female connector designs struggle to guarantee stable connections between the base and the shell. During long-term use, the lack of an effective structural design to maintain a stable fit can easily lead to loosening or even separation between the base and shell, affecting the connector's normal operation and signal transmission stability. Furthermore, traditional designs do not make efficient use of the connector's internal space, failing to create effective channels and gaps to meet specific usage requirements, thus limiting the connector's overall performance and applicability. Utility Model Content

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a female connector.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The connector includes a sheath structure 1 and a base 2 installed inside the sheath structure 1. The base 2 and the sheath structure 1 form an annular gap 3. The sheath structure 1 is installed on the outside of the base 2. The two cooperate with each other to form a stable overall structure. The structure is designed to form an annular gap 3, which can provide space for wiring or other components inside the connector, thereby improving the utilization rate of internal space.

[0033] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the sheath structure 1 includes a protective shell 11 installed on the outside of the base 2. The protective shell 11 protects the base 2 from external impacts, dust, and other contaminants. A reserved channel 12 is provided on the side of the protective shell 11, which connects to the annular gap 3, providing an effective passage between the connector's internal space and the outside, facilitating wiring, ventilation, and other operations. For example, during wiring, the wires can be guided into the annular gap 3 through the reserved channel 12, preventing them from being exposed and reducing signal interference. A protective plate 13 extends from the base 2 facing the reserved channel 12, further protecting the base 2 and preventing external objects from entering through the reserved channel 12 and causing damage. The protective plate 13 can be made of metal, such as stainless steel, which has good strength and corrosion resistance; or it can be made of plastic, such as engineering plastic, which is lightweight and inexpensive. A guide arm 14 is integrally formed on the side of the protective plate 13 facing the base 2. The guide arm 14 can guide the movement of the circuit or other components within the annular gap 3, improving the accuracy and convenience of operation. The guide arm 14 can be straight or curved with a certain curvature to adapt to different usage requirements. An arc segment 15 is integrally formed on the protective plate 13. The arc segment 15 increases the elasticity and cushioning performance of the protective plate 13. When subjected to external impact, the arc segment 15 can play a certain cushioning role, protecting the base 2 and the protective shell 11. A base foot 16 is integrally formed on the arc segment 15. The end face of the protective shell 11 facing the base foot 16 is smooth. The end face of the base foot 16 is flush with the bottom of the protective shell 11 to keep the base 2 and the protective shell 11 stable, so that the base 2 and the protective shell 11 can fit tightly at the bottom, reducing the shaking and displacement between them and improving the stability of the connection.

[0034] See Figure 4 As shown, the base 2 consists of a bottom base segment 21, a middle base segment 22, a top base segment 23, and a base 24. The bottom base segment 21, middle base segment 22, and top base segment 23 are integrally formed from bottom to top. The base 24 is integrally formed on the side of the bottom base segment 21 away from the middle base segment 22. This segmented structure makes the base 2 more rational, allowing different segments to perform different functions. The bottom base segment 21 mainly supports and connects the base 24. The middle base segment 22 connects the bottom base segment 21 and the top base segment 23, while the top base segment 23 connects and cooperates with other components. The base 24, integrally formed on the bottom base segment 21, increases the stability and support area of ​​the base 2.

[0035] See Figure 4As shown, hook-shaped structures 4 are integrally formed on both sides of the top base segment 23. These hook-shaped structures 4 can be used for connection and fixation with other components, such as mating with corresponding structures on male connectors to achieve a stable connection. Guide rods 5 are also integrally formed on both sides of the top base segment 23. These guide rods 5 act as guides during the connection process, ensuring accurate connector mating. Vertical plates 6 are integrally formed on both sides of the top base segment 23. The length of the vertical plates 6 extends from the guide rods 5 to the hook-shaped structures 4. The vertical plates 6 increase the strength and stability of the top base segment 23 and also provide some support for the hook-shaped structures 4 and guide rods 5.

[0036] See Figure 2 As shown, the base 24 has integrally formed sheet plates 7 around its perimeter to increase its contact area. These sheet plates 7 increase the contact area between the base 24 and the mounting surface, improving the stability of the base 2 and reducing loosening caused by shaking during use. See also... Figure 4 As shown, the side of the top base segment 23 is integrally formed with a limiting strip 8. The limiting strip 8 can restrict the position of other components on the top base segment 23, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the connection.

[0037] The curved surface of the arc segment 15 is concave from the outside in, which increases the elasticity and cushioning performance of the arc segment 15. The base portion 16 extends from the middle to both sides, and the extension area is smaller, which allows the base portion 16 to better fit with the bottom of the protective shell 11, improving the stability of the connection.

[0038] The bottom base segment 21, the middle base segment 22, and the top base segment 23 all have waist-shaped transverse sections, which ensures the strength of the base 2 while saving material to some extent. The cross-sectional area of ​​the middle base segment 22, the bottom base segment 21, and the top base segment 23 decreases sequentially, forming a structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, improving the stability of the base 2. The end face of the top base segment 23 has ports of different specifications and shapes, which can be used to connect different types of lines or components. The end face of the base 24 has holes of the same shape and specifications, which can be used to install bolts or other connectors to fix the base 24 to the mounting surface.

[0039] The implementation principle of a female connector according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: The cooperation between the sheath structure 1 and the base 2 forms an annular gap 3 and a reserved channel 12, improving the utilization rate of the connector's internal space and the convenience of wiring. The combination of the protective plate 13, guide arm 14, arc-shaped segment 15, and base foot 16 enhances the connection stability between the base 2 and the protective shell 11, reducing the possibility of loosening and separation. The segmented design of the base 2 and the different structures on each segment, such as the hook structure 4, guide rod 5, vertical plate 6, sheet plate 7, and limiting strip 8, enable the connector to better connect and cooperate with other components, improving the overall performance and applicability of the connector. Simultaneously, the shape and structure of the arc-shaped segment 15 and the base foot 16 further optimize the connection structure, enhance stability, improve the quality and reliability of the connector, and better ensure the stability of signal transmission. Compared with existing female connectors, it does not affect the assembly of the clips, and the structure of the clips does not exceed the sheath body. During actual assembly, it will not cause collisions or damage to the sheath structure 1, reducing the occurrence of damage to weak points.
