[0028] In existing technologies, plugs and sockets are mostly rigid connections, lacking buffering or adaptive adjustment functions. This can easily lead to damage, scratches, or even deformation of the product's surface or internal structure during plugging and unplugging. In particular, if the plug and socket have poor guidance, the damage problem will be more serious.

[0029] The following is a preferred embodiment of a flexible plug connector provided by this utility model that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the diagram, units with similar structures are represented by the same labels.

[0031] This embodiment provides a flexible plug connector, which includes: a fixed base 11, a plug assembly 12, a movable kit 13, and a spring 14.

[0032] The plug assembly 12 is connected to one end of the fixed base 11. The movable sleeve 13 and the spring 14 are sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed base 11. The spring 14 is compressed between the plug assembly 12 and the movable sleeve 13. The outer periphery of the fixed base 11 is provided with a limiting part 1111, which limits the movable sleeve 13 to the side of the limiting part 1111 close to the plug assembly 12. When force is applied to the movable sleeve 13 to control the plug assembly 12 to perform the insertion operation, the applied force can be flexibly transmitted to the plug assembly 12, so that the plug assembly 12 is less likely to cause pressure or scratches on the product surface or internal structure.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, a limiting inclined surface 1112 is provided on the outer side of the limiting part 1111, and a mating inclined surface 132 for cooperating with the limiting inclined surface 1112 is provided on the inner side of the movable kit 13. The end of the limiting inclined surface 1112 near the plug assembly 12 is closer to the fixed base 11. This makes the cooperation between the movable kit 13 and the fixed base 11 more stable.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the fixing base 11 includes a fixing cylinder 111 and a wiring body 112, and the plug assembly 12 includes a limiting kit 121, a plug body 122 and a circuit board 123.

[0035] The wiring body 112 is connected to one end of the fixed cylinder 111, and part of the wiring body 112 extends inside the fixed cylinder 111. The plug assembly 12 is connected to the other end of the fixed cylinder 111. The circuit board 123 is connected between the wiring body 112 and the plug body 122. Both the wiring body 112 and the plug body 122 are electrically connected to the circuit board 123.

[0036] The limiting kit 121 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the plug body 122. The first screw 17 passes through the wiring body 112 and is connected to the fixing cylinder 111. The second screw 16 passes through the limiting kit 121 and is connected to the fixing cylinder 111.

[0037] The plug body 122 has protrusions 1221 on both sides, and the protrusions 1221 are positioned between the limiting kit 121 and the fixing cylinder 111.

[0038] This allows the fixed cylinder 111, wiring body 112, limit kit 121, plug body 122 and circuit board 123 to be connected into a whole structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, the flexible plug-in connector also includes a sliding sleeve 15, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed cylinder 111. The sliding sleeve 15 is located between the spring 14 and the movable component 13, and the spring 14 is disposed between the sliding sleeve 15 and the limiting component 121. The sliding sleeve 15 facilitates the stable placement of the spring 14.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the plug body 122 includes two symmetrically connected mating heads. The two mating heads pass through and are positioned within the positioning kit 121. Both sides of the two mating heads have protrusions. The positioning kit 121 has a receiving groove 1211, and the protrusions are positioned within the receiving groove 1211. This allows the positioning kit 121 to stably position the plug body 122.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the wiring body 112 and the fixed cylinder 111 are positioned and connected by the first positioning post 18, and the limiting kit 121 and the fixed cylinder 111 are positioned and connected by the second positioning post 19.

[0042] In this embodiment, one end of the limiting sleeve 121 extends and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed cylinder 111, thereby improving the stability of the fit between the limiting sleeve 121 and the fixed cylinder 111.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the plug body 122 is provided with a contact piece for electrical connection with the circuit board 123. The end of the contact piece near the circuit board 123 has multiple elastic bending structures 1241. The bending structures enable the plug body 122 to achieve an elastic electrical connection with the circuit board 123, allowing control over the tightening of the second screw 16. This allows the plug body 122 to move elastically relative to the fixing base 11, further preventing the plug assembly 12 from causing pressure or scratches to the product surface or internal structure.

[0044] In this utility model, the end of the plug body 122 away from the wiring body 112 is the plug-in end, and the outer peripheral edge of the plug-in end is provided with a chamfer structure, which facilitates the plug body 122 to perform plug-in operation.

[0045] In this utility model, the four corners of the movable kit 13 are provided with connection holes 131, which can be used to connect the force-applying driving device.

[0046] The flexible plug connector of this preferred embodiment controls the movement of the entire connector by placing a spring between the movable kit and the plug assembly and then applying force to the movable kit. When the plug assembly contacts the socket, the force applied to the movable kit can be flexibly and gradually transmitted to the plug assembly. In this way, when the plug assembly is plugged into the socket, it is not easy to cause pressure or scratches to the surface or internal structure of the product.

[0047] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
