[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A connector mating structure includes a male connector 100 and a female connector 200. One end of the male connector 100 has a mating portion 110, and one end of the female connector 200 has a mating slot 210 corresponding to the mating portion 110. The mating portion 110 is inserted into the mating slot 210 to allow mating between the male connector 100 and the female connector 200. A locking unit 300 is also provided between the male connector 100 and the female connector 200. The locking unit 300 includes a latch 310 disposed on the male connector 100 and a slanted stop 320 disposed on the female connector 200. The front end of the latch 310 has a downwardly extending hook portion 311. The slanted stop 320 is inclined from the outside to the inside and has a groove 330 on the side. When the male connector 100 and the female connector 200 are inserted, the bottom end of the hook portion 311 will be engaged into the groove 330, and the side wall will be blocked by the slanted stop 320.

[0021] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plug-in portion 110 is provided at one end of the male connector 100, and a insertion slot 210 is provided at one end of the female connector 200. By inserting the plug-in portion 110 into the insertion slot 210, the male connector 100 and the female connector 200 can be connected to achieve circuit or signal conduction. To ensure the stability and firmness of the connection, latches 310 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the male connector 100, and the front end of the latches 310 is provided with a downwardly extending hook portion 311. At the same time, inclined blocks 320 and slots 330 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the female connector 200. When the male connector 100 and the female connector 200 are plugged in, the bottom end of the hook portion 311 at the front end of the latches 310 will engage with the slot 330, and the hook portion... The side wall of 311 is blocked by the inclined block 320. The slot 330 and the inclined block 320 can act simultaneously on the hook part 311 of the latch 310, thereby strengthening the locking force on the hook part 311, thus improving the stability and firmness of the connector male head 100 and connector female head 200 after insertion. In addition, the cooperation between the hook part 311, the slot 330 and the inclined block 320 can make the structure of the locking unit 300 simpler and more reasonable.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 In order to lock and unlock the male connector 100 and the female connector 200, in this embodiment, a 'U'-shaped fixing seat 120 is provided on the side wall of the male connector 100, the middle part of the latch 310 is rotatably connected to the 'U'-shaped fixing seat 120 through a rotating shaft, the other end of the latch 310 forms a pressing part 312, and an elastic member 313 is provided between the pressing part 312 and the side wall of the male connector 100.

[0023] When the male connector 100's insertion portion 110 is inserted into the female connector 200's insertion slot 210, the inclined stop 320 acts on the latch 310's hook portion 311, causing the latch 320 to rotate around the pivot. During rotation, the pressing portion 312 presses the elastic element 313, which is a spring. After the insertion portion 110 is fully inserted into the insertion slot 210, the inclined stop 320 disengages from the latch 310's hook portion 311. Under the restoring force of the elastic element 313, the latch 310 resets and rotates around the pivot, thus engaging the hook portion 311 into the slot 330, thereby achieving connection. The male connector 100 and the female connector 200 are locked together. When it is necessary to separate the male connector 100 and the female connector 200, the user can press the pressing part 312 of the latch 310, which in turn squeezes the elastic element 313. The latch 310 then rotates, causing the hook part 311 to disengage from the slot 330. At this time, the male connector 100 and the female connector 200 can be easily separated and pulled out. Finally, the locking and unlocking structure between the male connector 100 and the female connector 200 is simple and reasonably designed through the rotating shaft, the elastic element 313, the latch 310, the hook part 311, the inclined block 320 and the slot 330.

[0024] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the insertion of the male connector 100 into the insertion slot 210 of the female connector 200 and to prevent the inclined block 320 from obstructing the latch 310, the lowest point of the inclined block 320 is located on the outside and the highest point of the inclined block 320 is located on the inside in this embodiment. At the same time, an arc-shaped chamfer is provided on the outside of the bottom end of the hook portion 311. By tilting the inclined block 320 inwards, the movement of the latch 310 can be prevented from being obstructed by the inclined block 320. The inclined surface of the inclined block 320 gradually acts on the hook part 311 of the latch 310, so that the latch 310 can rotate. This allows the hook part 311 to cooperate with the slot 330 and the highest point side wall of the inclined block 320 to achieve the locking function. The arc-shaped chamfer on the outer side of the bottom end of the hook part 311 can effectively prevent scratches and damage to the inclined block 320, ensuring the smooth movement of the latch 310.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3In order to achieve dust and water resistance for the male connector 100 and the female connector 200 after insertion, in this embodiment, an abutment portion 130 is provided between the male connector 100 and the insertion portion 110, and a sealing platform 140 is provided at one end of the abutment portion 130 near the insertion portion 110. The size of the sealing platform 140 is smaller than the size of the abutment portion 130. A dust cover 220 is provided at the opening of the insertion slot 210, and a sealing ring 230 is adhered to the inner wall of the dust cover 220. The size of the sealing ring 230 matches the size of the sealing platform 140.

[0026] When the insertion portion 110 of the male connector 100 is inserted into the insertion slot 210 of the female connector 200, the abutment portion 130 of the male connector 100 abuts against the dust cover 220 at the opening of the insertion slot 210. The sealing platform 140 is then inserted into the dust cover 220 and tightly engages with the sealing ring 230. The sealing ring 230 achieves a seal between the dust cover 220 and the sealing platform 140, ensuring dust and water protection between the male connector 100 and the female connector 200, thereby effectively improving the overall service life of the connector.

[0027] Finally, please see Figure 2 In order to protect the mating terminals inside the male connector 100 when the connector is not in use, a fixing block 150 is provided on the side of the abutment portion 130 in this embodiment. The fixing block 150 is rotatably connected to a connecting arm 160, and a protective cover 170 is provided at the end of the connecting arm 160. The protective cover 170 can cover the end of the mating portion 110. The connecting arm 160 is made of flexible material. By rotating the flexible connecting arm 160, the protective cover 170 is rotated toward the mating portion 110 of the male connector 100. After rotating into position, the protective cover 170 directly covers the end of the mating portion 110 with an interference fit, thereby achieving dust protection for the mating portion 110 and preventing impurities from entering the mating portion 110 of the male connector 100.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description; however, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model; furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
