Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0020] See Figure 1-7 As shown, a Type-E to Type-C connector cable includes a Type-E connector module 1, a Type-C connector module 2, and a wire 3 integrally connected between the Type-E connector module 1 and the Type-C connector module 2 to form an electrical connection. In use, the Type-C connector module 2 connects to the Type-C female connector, and the Type-E connector module 1 connects to the Type-E female connector 4. Signals are then transmitted through the wire 3, thus achieving Type-E to Type-C conversion to meet different usage requirements.
[0021] The Type-E connector module 1 includes a Type-E connector 11, an adapter plate 12 connected to the Type-E connector 11, a plastic base 13 integrally formed on the Type-E connector 11 and wrapping the adapter plate 12, and a wire holder 14 integrally fixed on the plastic base 13 and integrally connected to the wire 3. The plastic base 13 is integrally formed on the Type-E connector 11, and the wire holder 14 is integrally fixed on the plastic base 13 and integrally connected to the wire 3 to form an inseparable whole. Its structure is stable, the plastic base 13 can effectively protect the Type-E connector 11 and the adapter plate 12, and the wire holder 14 can increase the strength of the connection structure between the plastic base 13 and the wire 3, thereby improving the product's service life.
[0022] The wires in the wire 3 are welded to the adapter plate 12 for conduction. The plastic base 13 has an insertion part 131 that is inserted into the Type-E female socket 4. The Type-E connector 11 is partially protruding from the insertion part 131. The insertion part 131 is provided with an elastic locking arm 132 for locking with the Type-E female socket 4. The elastic locking arm 132 has a latch 101. In practical use, after the insertion part 131 of the Type-E connector module 1 is inserted into the Type-E female socket 4, the Type-E connector 11 is connected to the Type-E female socket 4, and the elastic locking arm 132 is also inserted into the Type-E female socket 4 at the same time. The elastic locking arm 132 is compressed during the insertion process until the locking buckle 101 of the elastic locking arm 132 enters the locking hole on the Type-E female socket 4 and elastically resets, so that the locking buckle 101 locks with the locking hole, thereby achieving the purpose of locking. This prevents the Type-E connector module 1 from accidentally disengaging from the Type-E female socket 4, ensuring the stability of the connection, so as to achieve stable signal / data transmission. At the same time, it ensures that this utility model can be used in a continuous vibration environment without loosening and has the characteristics of good mechanical strength.
[0023] The specific structure of the elastic locking arm 132 is as follows: The elastic locking arm 132 includes a spring arm 102 integrally formed on the outside of the insertion part 131 and extending rearward, a latch 101 integrally formed on the spring arm 102, and an unlocking part 103 formed on the rear end of the spring arm 102. The unlocking part 103 is located above the plastic base 13 and forms a gap between it and the surface of the plastic base 13 for the unlocking part 103 to be pressed, so that the unlocking part 103 can be pressed to drive the latch 101 to disengage from the lock, thereby achieving the purpose of unlocking.
[0024] To prevent the elastic latch 101 from popping out accidentally, the following design is made: a limiting groove 133 is provided on the front end face of the plastic base 13, and a stop portion 134 is formed on both sides of the opening of the limiting groove 133; the elastic arm 102 is placed in the limiting groove 133, and a baffle plate 104 protruding outward is formed on both sides of the elastic arm 102. Under the elastic force of the elastic arm 102, the surface of the baffle plate 104 abuts against the bottom surface of the baffle portion 134 to prevent the elastic arm 102 from protruding out of the limiting groove 133, that is, to prevent the elastic latch 101 from popping out accidentally.
[0025] The assembly structure of the plastic base 13 and the wire seat 14 is as follows: The upper outer part of the plastic base 13 is provided with a semi-square frame-shaped connecting groove 134, and each groove wall in the connecting groove 134 is formed with multiple connecting holes 135; the wire seat 14 is integrally fixed in the connecting groove 134 and wraps around the upper part of the plastic base 13 by secondary injection molding, and the wire seat 14 is partially integrated into the connecting holes 135 to form a connecting post. The connecting post and the connecting holes 135 form a tensile and anti-detachment structure, thereby increasing the tensile strength and improving the service life of the product.
[0026] The insertion part 131 is provided with at least one anti-misplacement positioning rib 135 distributed along its length direction, which can improve the efficiency of insertion, that is, it can limit a single insertion direction and prevent insertion in reverse. At the same time, the anti-misplacement positioning rib 135 also plays a positioning role, improving the stability of the structure after insertion.
[0027] The insertion part 131, the wire base 14, and the wire 3 are all distributed at right angles to form a bent plug, which can meet different usage requirements.
[0028] The wire holder 14 is also formed with an SR connector 142 integrally wrapped around the outside of the wire 3. When the wire 3 swings relative to the wire holder 14, it swings through the SR connector 142, which can reduce the swing amplitude of the wire 3, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of wire 3 breaking and improving the service life of the product.
[0029] The Type-E connector 11 includes an insulating base 111, terminals 112 fixed to the insulating base 111 and arranged in two rows, and a metal shell 113 fixed to the outside of the insulating base 111. The solder feet 105 of the terminals 112 extend beyond the rear end face of the insulating base 111, and two limiting protrusions 106 are formed on the rear end face of the insulating base 111. The adapter plate 12 is inserted and positioned between the two limiting protrusions 106 to form a positioning, which facilitates the subsequent welding and fixing of the adapter plate 12 and the solder feet 105 of the terminals 112, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0030] The Type-C connector module 2 includes a Type-C connector 21, a PCB board 22 that is soldered and fixed to the Type-C connector 21 and soldered to the wire 3 for conduction, and a connector base 23 integrally formed on the rear end of the Type-C connector 21 and integrally wrapped around the wire 3. The connector base 23 has a mating portion 231 at its front end, and the front end of the Type-C connector 21 protrudes beyond the front end face of the mating portion 231. The connector base 23 has outwardly protruding connecting portions 232 on both sides, and each connecting portion 232 has a through countersunk hole 233. In practical use, after the Type-C connector 21 of the Type-C connector module 2 is connected to the Type-C female connector, the connecting portions 232 on both sides of the connector base 23 are mated with the surface of the housing and screwed through the countersunk holes 233 to the screw holes on the surface of the housing for screw fixation. This facilitates installation and ensures that the Type-C connector module 2 is stably installed on the surface of the housing, preventing the Type-C connector 21 of the Type-C connector module 2 from accidentally detaching from the Type-C female connector, thus improving communication stability.
[0031] The Type-E female connector 4 includes a plastic shell 41 and a Type-E female connector 42 fixed inside the plastic shell 41 and adapted to the Type-E connector 11. The plastic shell 41 has a mating slot 411 for the insertion part 131 to be inserted into. The socket of the Type-E connector 11 is exposed in the mating slot 411, and the plastic shell 41 is provided with a locking slot 412 adapted to the elastic locking arm 132. The locking is achieved by locking the locking slot with the latch 101. The inner wall of the mating slot 411 is formed with a rib groove 413 that corresponds to the anti-foolproof positioning rib 135. The anti-foolproof positioning rib 135 is inserted into the rib groove 413 to form a stable assembly.
[0032] In summary, in practical use, after the insertion part 131 of the Type-E connector module 1 is inserted into the Type-E female socket 4, the Type-E connector 11 is connected to the Type-E female socket 4. At the same time, the elastic locking arm 132 is also inserted into the Type-E female socket 4. The elastic locking arm 132 is compressed during the insertion process until the locking buckle 101 of the elastic locking arm 132 enters the locking port on the Type-E female socket 4 and elastically resets, so that the locking buckle 101 locks with the locking port, thereby achieving the purpose of locking. This prevents the Type-E connector module 1 from accidentally disengaging from the Type-E female socket 4, ensuring the stability of the connection so as to achieve stable signal / data transmission. At the same time, it ensures that this utility model can be used in a continuous vibration environment without loosening and has the characteristics of good mechanical strength.
