[0021] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a snap-locking structure, including: a connecting plug 10 and a connecting socket 11. The connecting plug 10 is provided with at least one set of female connecting pins 114, and the connecting socket 11 is provided with at least one set of male connecting pins 106 adapted to the female connecting pins 114. A mounting groove 12 is formed on one surface of the connecting plug 10, and a snap-lock button 13 is provided in the mounting groove 12. One end of the snap-lock button 13 is rotatably connected to the mounting groove 12, and the other end of the snap-lock button 13 extends out of the mounting groove 12 and is provided with a hook 14. A reset member 15 is also provided in the mounting groove 12, and the reset member 15 pushes up the snap-lock button 13. The inner side of the end of the connecting socket 11 that is inserted into the connecting plug 10 is also provided with a flange 115 adapted to the hook 14. Specifically, a recessed mounting groove 12 is formed in one surface of the connector 10. A latching button 13 is provided in the mounting groove 12. One end of the latching button 13 is connected to the mounting groove 12, and the other end protrudes from the mounting groove 12 and protrudes from the surface of the connector 10. A hook 14 is also provided. When the connector 10 is plugged into the connector socket 11, the hook 14 inserts into the connector socket 11 and engages with the connector socket 11, preventing the connector 10 from being pulled out, thereby locking the connector 10 and the connector socket 11. When unlocking is required, the button 14 is pressed. Press the latch button 13 to cause the latch hook 14 to sink, then pull out the connector 10. To ensure the stability of the latch button 13's engagement, a reset member 15 is provided within the mounting groove 12. This reset member 15 is elastic and will push up the latch button 13, ensuring a stable and reliable engagement between the latch hook 14 and the connector socket 11, preventing loosening due to vibration or other reasons. When unlocking, press the latch button 13, which compresses the reset member 15. When the connector 10 is pulled out, the reset member 15 returns to its original position, pushing up the latch button 13. In this way, the latch button 13 is located within the mounting groove 12, which effectively reduces the overall size of the connector 10 and allows for use in narrower spaces compared to the forward locking method in existing technologies.

[0022] Furthermore, the buckle button 13 and the hook 14 are vertically offset; specifically, the buckle button 13 is lifted up by the force of the reset member 15, and the vertical offset between the buckle button 13 and the hook 14 allows the buckle button 13 to have a predetermined upward stroke, thus preventing the hook 14 from being restricted by the end of the mounting groove 12 and unable to lift up.

[0023] Furthermore, the connector 10 includes: a connector sleeve 101 and a connector housing 102. One end of the connector sleeve 101 is connected to a cable 103. The connector housing 102 is located at the end of the connector sleeve 101 away from the cable 103. The mounting groove 12 is located on the top of the connector housing 102. The female connector 114 is located inside the connector housing 102. One end of the connector housing 102 is provided with a male connector 104. The hook 14 is located above the male connector 104. Specifically, the connector 10 includes: a connector sleeve 101, one end of which is connected to the cable 103; a connector housing 102 located at the end of the connector sleeve 101 away from the cable 103; a mounting groove 12 located at one end of the connector housing 102; a male connector 104 located at the end of the connector housing 102 away from the mounting groove 12; a female connector 114 located inside the connector housing 102 and electrically connected to the cable 103; and guide grooves 105 located on both sides of the male connector 104 to ensure that the male connector 104 can be inserted and removed directly.

[0024] Furthermore, the connection socket 11 includes: a socket housing 111, one end of the socket housing 111 is provided with a female plug 112, the male connector 106 is provided at one end of the female plug 112, and a socket cover plate 113 is also embedded in the socket housing 111; Specifically, the connector 11 includes a connector housing 111, one end of which is provided with a female connector 112. The female connector 112 is adapted to a male connector 104, which can be inserted into the female connector 112. A male connector 106 is disposed inside the connector housing 111. A connector cover 113 is also embedded in the connector housing 111. The connector cover 113 is used to cover the male connector 106 and prevent the male connector 106 from being completely exposed.

[0025] Furthermore, the male connector 106 is L-shaped, with one end of the male connector 106 protruding inside one end of the female connector 112, and the other end passing through the socket cover 113 and protruding outside the connector socket 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, the male connector 106 is L-shaped, with one end of the male connector 106 protruding inside one end of the female connector 112 for insertion with the female connector 114, and the other end protruding through the socket cover 113 for connection with the connector on the external device. In this way, the connector socket 11 can be directly fixed inside the external device.

[0026] Furthermore, a claw 17 is also fixedly provided on one surface of the socket housing 111; Specifically, since the connector 11 is directly plugged into the external device body, in order to prevent the connector 11 from coming loose, two claws 17 are also fixedly provided on one surface of the connector housing 111. When the connector 11 is plugged into the external device body, the claws 17 engage with the external device, fixing the connector 11 to the external device and ensuring connection stability.

[0027] Furthermore, guide blocks 116 are respectively provided on the two inner sides of the plug-in female head 112; Specifically, protruding guide blocks 116 are provided on both sides of the female connector 112. The guide blocks 116 are adapted to the guide groove 105 so that when the male connector 104 is inserted, the cooperation between the guide groove 105 and the guide block 116 ensures that the male connector 104 is inserted straight in and out, avoiding bending of the female connector 114 due to tilted insertion or removal. At the same time, it also ensures the alignment between the male connector 106 and the female connector 114.

[0028] Furthermore, a rubber ring 16 is provided on the outer side of the female connector 112; Specifically, to prevent gaps between the plug-in female connector 112 and external equipment, which could allow water to enter the equipment, a rubber ring 16 is provided on the outside of the plug-in female connector 112. When the plug-in female connector 112 is installed inside the external equipment, the rubber ring 16 is squeezed to seal the gap between the plug-in female connector 112 and the external equipment.

[0029] In summary, this application, by setting the mounting groove 12, allows the buckle button 13 to be placed inside the mounting groove 12, reducing the external dimensions of the connector 10. Furthermore, the reverse buckle can achieve the same locking effect, enabling it to be used in narrower spaces and meeting the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0030] This invention is not limited to the description in the specification and embodiments. Therefore, other advantages and modifications can be readily realized by those skilled in the art. Thus, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept as defined by the claims and their equivalents, this invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices and illustrated examples shown and described herein.
