[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a horizontal camera connector, including an aluminum alloy housing 1, a first power connection component 2, a second power connection component 3, a first injection adhesive 4, a second injection adhesive 5, and a shielding sheet 6.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the aluminum alloy shell 1 serves as the external support and protection structure of the connector. A mating groove 11 for docking with external components is provided on one side of the shell. A first plug portion 12 is formed by protruding horizontally on one side wall of the mating groove 11, and a second plug portion 13 is formed by protruding vertically in the mating groove 11 near the first plug portion 12. The first plug portion 12 and the second plug portion 13 are arranged perpendicularly (i.e., the axis of the first plug portion 12 is horizontal and the axis of the second plug portion 13 is vertical), and the two are interconnected internally to form a 90° angle transmission channel to adapt to angle transmission requirements.

[0021] The first power connection component 2 is fitted and installed inside the first plug portion 12 to enable horizontal signal and energy input; the second power connection component 3 is fitted and installed inside the second plug portion 13, with one end protruding from the outside of the second plug portion 13, to enable vertical signal and energy input. The first power connection component 2 and the second power connection component 3 are integrally connected and fixed by the first injection adhesive 4, and the included angle between their conductive axes is 90°, directly realizing signal and energy transmission at a 90° angle without the need for an additional adapter structure.

[0022] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, a first insertion cavity 121 is formed inside the first plug portion 12 along its axial direction, and a second insertion cavity 131 is formed inside the second plug portion 13 along its axial direction. The second insertion cavity 131 penetrates both ends of the aluminum alloy housing 1, and the second insertion cavity 131 communicates with the first insertion cavity 121 to form a complete 90° transmission channel. The first power connection component 2 is installed in the first insertion cavity 121 with an interference fit or a transition fit, and the second power connection component 3 is installed in the second insertion cavity 131 and protrudes from the second insertion cavity 131. The second injection adhesive 5 is disposed on the outer periphery of the second power connection component 3 and is completely located inside the second plug portion 13, used to seal the gap between the second power connection component 3 and the second plug portion 13 to prevent dust and moisture from entering. The shielding sheet 6 is fixedly disposed at the end of the second plug portion 13 away from the second injection adhesive 5, used to shield external electromagnetic interference and ensure the stability of signal transmission.

[0023] The first electrical connection assembly 2 includes a first electrical connection sleeve 21, a first sealing ring 22, a first insulating kit 23, and a first electrical connection terminal 24. The first electrical connection sleeve 21 is a hollow cylindrical structure and serves as the mounting carrier for the first electrical connection assembly 2. The first sealing ring 22, the first insulating kit 23, and the first electrical connection terminal 24 are sequentially assembled inside the first electrical connection sleeve 21. The first sealing ring 22 is used to seal the first electrical connection sleeve 21 with the external mating component, and the first insulating kit 23 is used to insulate and isolate the first electrical connection terminal 24.

[0024] A first limiting step 122 and a second limiting step 123 are sequentially arranged around the inner sidewall of the first insertion cavity 121 in a horizontal direction. The two steps are spaced apart along the axis of the first insertion cavity 121, and the second limiting step 123 is close to the through-hole between the first insertion cavity 121 and the second insertion cavity 131. To prevent the first power connection component 2 from axially moving within the first insertion cavity 121, a first limiting boss 211 is arranged around the outer sidewall of the first power connection sleeve 21 at the position corresponding to the second limiting step 123. When the first power connection sleeve 21 is assembled to the preset position of the first insertion cavity 121, the end face of the first limiting boss 211 abuts tightly against the end face of the second limiting step 123, thereby axially limiting the first power connection component 2 and preventing it from moving towards the through-hole. The first limiting step 122 is used to limit the external docking component when the first plug part 12 is inserted with the external docking component.

[0025] like Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, to optimize the internal assembly sequence and sealing effect of the first power connection component 2, one end (the mating end) of the first power connection terminal 24 passes through the central hole of the first sealing ring 22 and the central hole of the first insulating kit 23 in sequence, and extends to one end of the first power connection sleeve 21 near the second insertion cavity 131, and connects with the second power connection terminal 32. The outer peripheral surfaces of the first sealing ring 22 and the first insulating kit 23 are in close contact with the inner sidewall of the first power connection sleeve 21 to ensure insulation and sealing. A third limiting boss 212 is provided on the inner sidewall of the first power connection sleeve 21 near the insertion port. One end face of the first sealing ring 22 abuts against the end face of the third limiting boss 212 to prevent the first sealing ring 22 from moving toward the insertion port of the first power connection sleeve 21, thus ensuring the port sealing effect.

[0026] The second power connection assembly 3 includes a second power connection sleeve 31 and a second power connection terminal 32, and also includes a second insulating sleeve 33. The second insulating sleeve 33 is sleeved on the outside of the second power connection terminal 32 for insulating and isolating the second power connection terminal 32. The second power connection sleeve 31 has a hollow cylindrical structure, and a fourth limiting boss 312 is provided on the inner side wall of the second power connection sleeve 31. The upper end of the second insulating sleeve 33 is provided with an outwardly extending second protrusion 331. The upper end face of the second protrusion 331 is flush with the end face of the fifth limiting step 134, and the lower end face of the second protrusion 331 is in close contact with the second power connection sleeve 31. The lower end of the second insulating sleeve 33 is inserted into the second power connection sleeve 31 and extends to be flush with the end face of the fourth limiting boss 312, ensuring accurate positioning of the second insulating sleeve 33 and the second power connection sleeve 31. The second electrical terminal 32 is vertically disposed below the first electrical terminal 24 (i.e., the axis of the first electrical terminal 24 is horizontal and the axis of the second electrical terminal 32 is vertical), and the mating ends of the two are integrally cast and fixed by the first injection colloid 4 to ensure connection strength and conductivity stability, while realizing a 90° angle conductive path.

[0027] One end of the first electrical terminal 24 (external connection end) is provided with a connecting pin 241 for external connection; the other end of the first electrical terminal 24 (connection end) is provided with a fixing pin 242, the axis of which is collinear with the axis of the connecting pin 241. One end of the second electrical terminal 32 (external connection end) is also provided with a connecting pin for external connection; the other end of the second electrical terminal 32 (connection end) is provided with a fixing seat 321, the fixing seat 321 protruding from the second insulating kit 33, the fixing pin 242 is connected to the fixing seat 321, and then the fixing pin 242 and the fixing seat 321 are integrally cast and fixed by the first injection colloid 4 to ensure the conductive connection strength and stability of the two.

[0028] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, to achieve layered positioning of the second power-connecting component 3, the shielding sheet 6, and the injection adhesive, a third limiting step 132, a fourth limiting step 133, a fifth limiting step 134, and a sixth limiting step 135 are sequentially arranged around the inner wall of the second insertion cavity 131 in the vertical direction (each step is spaced apart from top to bottom along the axis of the second insertion cavity 131). A second limiting boss 311 is arranged around the outer wall of the second power-connecting sleeve 31 at the position corresponding to the sixth limiting step 135. When the second power-connecting sleeve 31 is assembled to the preset position of the second insertion cavity 131, the end face of the second limiting boss 311 abuts against the end face of the sixth limiting step 135, thereby achieving axial positioning of the second power-connecting component 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the first power-connecting sleeve 21 and the second power-connecting sleeve 31 are copper sleeves.

[0030] The first injection colloid 4 is formed on the upper surface of the fifth limiting step 134 by injection molding process, and fills the gap between the shielding sheet 6 and the fifth limiting step 134. At the same time, it wraps and fixes the mating ends of the first power terminal 24 and the second power terminal 32, so as to achieve the integral connection and sealing of the two.

[0031] The second injection colloid 5 is formed on the upper end face of the sixth limiting step 135 by injection molding process, and is arranged around the outer periphery of the second power-connecting sleeve 31, filling the gap between the second power-connecting sleeve 31 and the second insertion cavity 131 to achieve sealing and fixation.

[0032] The shielding sheet 6 is a ring-shaped thin sheet structure. Its outer diameter is adapted to the inner diameter of the second insertion cavity 131. It is fixedly set on the upper end face of the fourth limiting step 133 by interference fit or adhesive bonding to ensure the stability of the shielding position.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to achieve quick engagement and fixation between the aluminum alloy housing 1 and the external docking component, a plug-in buckle 124 is provided on the outer side wall of the first plug part 12. When the first plug part 12 is docked with the external socket, the plug-in buckle 124 can engage with the slot on the external socket to achieve quick assembly and prevent detachment, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, the horizontal camera connector is assembled... Install the components of the first power connection assembly into the first power connection sleeve. Install the components of the second power connection assembly into the second power connection sleeve. Then, rivet the first electrical connection component into the aluminum casing. Next, rivet the second electrical connection component into the aluminum shell, apply adhesive to the upper part of the aluminum shell, rivet the shielding sheet, apply adhesive to the bottom of the aluminum shell, and complete the assembly of the entire connector.
