Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector and device connection technology, and more specifically, to a connector guide and correction positioning groove structure. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is an electromechanical component used to enable the transmission of electrical, electronic, or fiber optic signals. It connects two or more devices, circuit boards, cables, etc., through the mating of plugs and terminals, ensuring stable and reliable signal or current transmission. Connectors are widely used in consumer electronics, communication equipment, industrial control, automotive electronics, aerospace, and many other fields.

[0003] However, existing technologies have some problems: when connecting existing connector plugs and terminals, the connector and terminal usually need to be completely aligned before the connector can be inserted into the terminal. However, when the connector and terminal are plugged in, there may be a deviation, which can cause wear and damage to the connector. At the same time, in a confined space, it is not easy to observe the position of the terminal, making it difficult to align the connector with the terminal for insertion. Therefore, we propose a connector guide and correction positioning groove structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technical solution for a connector guide and correction positioning groove structure.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a connector guiding and positioning groove structure is provided, including a terminal and a connector, wherein the terminal and the connector are detachably connected, the terminal is provided with a guide opening, the inner wall of the guide opening is provided with a fixing groove, a fixing component is provided in the fixing groove, the inner wall of the guide opening is provided with a positioning groove, the inner walls on both sides of the positioning groove are provided with sliding grooves, multiple sets of balls are movably connected in the sliding grooves, the bottom inner wall of the positioning groove is provided with a slide rail, and a buffer component is provided in the sliding groove.

[0006] Optionally, the fixing component includes a fixing block, which is slidably connected in a fixing groove. A fixing spring is fixedly connected to the fixing block and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove. A slot is provided on the connector, and the fixing block is engaged in the slot.

[0007] Optionally, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the fixing block, and a slider is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, with the slider slidably connected to the terminal.

[0008] Optionally, a guide plate is slidably connected inside the chute, and multiple sets of balls are rotatably connected to the guide plate. The multiple sets of balls are evenly distributed on the guide plate, and a return spring is fixedly connected to the guide plate and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chute.

[0009] Optionally, the buffer assembly includes a buffer block slidably connected within a slide rail, and a buffer spring is fixedly connected to the buffer block, the buffer spring being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide rail.

[0010] Optionally, a pin is fixedly connected to the connector, a receiving groove is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove, and the pin is movably connected in the slot.

[0011] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, a fixing component is provided. As the connector is inserted into the terminal, the connector will contact the fixing block. When the connector deviates significantly, the fixing block will be pushed and compressed by the fixing spring, thereby causing the fixing spring to generate a reverse thrust, automatically correcting the connector and reducing the deviation. At the same time, when the connector is fully inserted into the terminal, the fixing block corresponds exactly to the slot on the connector, and the fixing block will be locked in the slot of the connector due to the elasticity of the fixing spring, thus fixing the connector.

[0012] This utility model is equipped with a guide plate. When the connector is inserted into the positioning groove, if there is a deviation in the connector, the ball and the guide plate will compress the return spring. Then, the return force of the return spring will correct the connector. At the same time, the rotating ball can reduce the friction between the connector and the guide plate, thereby making it easier for the connector to be inserted into the terminal.

[0013] This utility model is equipped with a buffer component. Before the pins on the connector contact the slot, the connector first contacts the buffer block. The buffer block is subjected to pressure, which compresses the buffer spring, creating resistance to the insertion of the connector and preventing it from being inserted too quickly and damaging the pins. At the same time, there are two sets of buffer blocks, which can further correct the connector through the rebound force of the buffer spring to prevent the connector from tilting. Also, when the connector is fully inserted into the terminal, the buffer spring will always provide a certain pushing force to the connector, thereby cooperating with the fixing block to make the connector more secure.

[0014] Other features and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0024] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0025] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0026] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a connector guide and positioning groove structure includes a terminal 1 and a connector 2. The terminal 1 is used to connect the connector to the device, and the connector 2 is the connection point between the connector and the terminal 1.

[0028] Furthermore, terminal 1 and connector 2 are detachably connected. Terminal 1 has a guide opening 3 with a relatively large width, which allows connector 2 to have a large deviation during connection, making it easier for connector 2 to be inserted into terminal 1.

[0029] Furthermore, a fixing groove is provided on the inner wall of the guide port 3, and a fixing component 4 is provided in the fixing groove. The fixing component 4 includes a fixing block 41, which is slidably connected in the fixing groove. A fixing spring 42 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 41 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove. A slot is provided on the connector 2, and the fixing block 41 is engaged in the slot.

[0030] Specifically, as connector 2 penetrates into terminal 1, connector 2 will contact fixing block 41. When connector 2 deviates significantly, fixing block 41 will be pushed and compressed by fixing spring 42, thereby causing fixing spring 42 to generate reverse thrust, automatically correcting connector 2 and reducing deviation.

[0031] Furthermore, when connector 2 is fully inserted into terminal 1, fixing block 41 corresponds exactly to the slot on connector 2, and fixing block 41 will be locked in slot of connector 2 by the elastic force of fixing spring 42, thus fixing connector 2.

[0032] Furthermore, a connecting rod 43 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 41, and a slider 44 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 43. The slider 44 is slidably connected to the terminal 1.

[0033] Specifically, anti-slip texture is provided on the surface of slider 44. When it is necessary to remove the connector, by pushing slider 44, the connecting rod 43 is moved. The connecting rod 43 then drives the fixing block 41 to compress the fixing spring 42 and move into the fixing groove, so that the fixing block 41 is disengaged from the slot of connector 2 and no longer fixes connector 2. At this time, the connector can be pulled out.

[0034] Furthermore, a positioning groove 5 is provided on the inner wall of the guide port 3. After the connector 2 is initially corrected by the fixing block 41, the connector 2 will move to the positioning groove 5. The positioning groove 5 adopts a bevel design to further correct the connector 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the inner walls on both sides of the positioning groove 5 are provided with sliding grooves, and multiple sets of ball bearings 6 are movably connected in the sliding grooves. A guide plate 8 is slidably connected in the sliding grooves, and the multiple sets of ball bearings 6 are rotatably connected to the guide plate 8. The multiple sets of ball bearings 6 are evenly distributed on the guide plate 8, and a return spring 9 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 8. The return spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0036] Specifically, when the connector 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 5, if there is a deviation in the connector 2, the ball 6 and the guide plate 8 will compress the return spring 9, and then the return force of the return spring 9 will correct the connector 2. At the same time, the rotating ball 6 can reduce the friction between the connector 2 and the guide plate 8, thereby making it easier for the connector 2 to be inserted into the terminal 1.

[0037] Furthermore, a slide is provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the positioning groove 5, and a buffer assembly 7 is provided in the slide. The buffer assembly 7 includes a buffer block 71, which is slidably connected in the slide. A buffer spring 72 is fixedly connected to the buffer block 71 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide.

[0038] Specifically, before the pin 10 on connector 2 contacts the slot, connector 2 first contacts the buffer block 71. The buffer block 71 is compressed by the pressure, which compresses the buffer spring 72, causing resistance to the insertion of connector 2 and preventing it from being inserted too quickly and damaging the pin 10. At the same time, there are two sets of buffer blocks 71, which can be further corrected by the rebound force of the buffer spring 72 to prevent connector 2 from tilting. When connector 2 is fully inserted into terminal 1, the buffer spring 72 will always give connector 2 a certain pushing force, which cooperates with the fixing block 41 to make connector 2 more secure.

[0039] Furthermore, a pin 10 is fixedly connected to the connector 2, and a groove is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 5. The pin 10 is movably connected in the slot, and the pin 10 and the slot are used to complete the electrical connection between the connector and the terminal 1.

[0040] The aforementioned connector guide and correction positioning groove structure is provided with a fixing component 4. As the connector 2 is inserted into the terminal 1, the connector 2 will contact the fixing block 41. When the connector 2 has a large deviation, the fixing block 41 will be pushed and compressed by the fixing spring 42, thereby causing the fixing spring 42 to generate a reverse thrust, automatically correcting the connector 2 and reducing the deviation. At the same time, when the connector 2 is fully inserted into the terminal 1, the fixing block 41 corresponds exactly to the slot on the connector 2. The fixing block 41 will be locked in the slot of the connector 2 due to the elasticity of the fixing spring 42, thus fixing the connector 2.

[0041] This utility model is provided with a guide plate 8. When the connector 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 5, if there is a deviation in the connector 2, the ball 6 and the guide plate 8 will compress the return spring 9, and then the return force of the return spring 9 will correct the connector 2. At the same time, the rotating ball 6 can reduce the friction between the connector 2 and the guide plate 8, thereby making it easier for the connector 2 to be inserted into the terminal 1.

[0042] This utility model is equipped with a buffer component 7. Before the pin 10 on the connector 2 contacts the slot, the connector 2 first contacts the buffer block 71. The buffer block 71 is compressed by the pressure, which will compress the buffer spring 72, so that the connector 2 will generate movement resistance during insertion, thus preventing the pin 10 from being damaged due to excessive insertion. At the same time, there are two sets of buffer blocks 71, which can further correct the connector 2 through the rebound force of the buffer spring 72 to prevent the connector 2 from tilting. At the same time, when the connector 2 is fully inserted into the terminal 1, the buffer spring 72 will always give the connector 2 a certain pushing force, thereby cooperating with the fixing block 41 to make the connector 2 more securely fixed.
