[0061] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary.

[0062] The following describes the first connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to Figures 1 to 3. In the present application, the cooperation between the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is taken as an example for detailed description, wherein the first connector 100 is a female connector and the second connector 200 is a male connector.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 , the first connector 100 according to the first embodiment of the present application includes a body 1 and at least one locking member 2 .

[0064] Specifically, the locking member 2 is provided on the body 1, and the locking member 2 is provided with a plurality of locking structures 21. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more than two. The plurality of locking structures 21 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the locking member 2 (for example, the front-to-back direction indicated by the arrow in Figure 1). For example, in the examples of Figures 1 and 3, the locking member 2 is connected to the outer side surface of the body 1, and the plurality of locking structures 21 are arranged at intervals along the direction from front to back. In this way, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 can be connected into a whole through the plurality of locking structures 21. After the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are assembled, the assembly stability of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is improved by the plurality of locking structures 21, and the relative shaking or separation of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 after assembly is effectively avoided, thereby effectively improving the stability of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 in use after assembly, thereby improving the safety of use of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 after assembly, and also helping to extend the service life of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 after assembly. Furthermore, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 can be gradually locked along the front-to-back direction of the body 1, thereby gradually locking the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, which is simple to operate and convenient to use. In addition, the connection between the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is relatively stable in the length direction of the first connector 100, thereby improving the overall stability of the connection between the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

[0065] According to the first connector 100 of the present application, by providing multiple locking structures 21, the assembly stability of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is enhanced, thereby improving the stability of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 after assembly. This not only improves the safety of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 after assembly, but also extends the service life of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 after assembly. In addition, the assembly process of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is simple to operate.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the plurality of locking structures 21 include a first locking structure 211, which is a locking groove 2111 formed on the locking member 2. For example, in the examples of Figures 1 and 2, the locking groove 2111 is formed in the middle region of the locking member 2, and the cross-section of the locking groove 2111 can be rectangular. When the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are connected, the locking block 201 on the second connector 200 can fit within the locking groove 2111 to limit the relative movement of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200. With this arrangement, the locking groove 2111 has a simple structure and is easy to produce, thereby reducing the difficulty of producing the locking member 2, and further reducing the difficulty of producing the first connector 100, thereby reducing the production cost of the first connector 100. Moreover, when the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are assembled or separated, the locking block 201 and the locking groove 2111 cooperate to reduce the difficulty of assembling or disassembling the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, thereby improving the assembly or disassembly efficiency of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figures 1 and 2, the locking groove 2111 penetrates the locking member 2 along the thickness direction of the locking member 2 (for example, the up-down direction indicated by the arrow in Figure 1). For example, in the examples of Figures 1 and 2, the locking groove 2111 penetrates the locking member 2 along the up-down direction. Such an arrangement facilitates the production of the locking groove 2111, thereby further reducing the difficulty of producing the locking groove 2111. In addition, during the assembly or separation of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, it is convenient to observe the working status of the first locking structure 211 through the locking groove 2111, and to determine whether the first locking structure 211 is in a locked state, that is, whether the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 have completed the preliminary locking.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG1 and FIG3 , the plurality of locking structures 21 include a second locking structure 212, and the second locking structure 212 is located on a side of the first locking structure 211 away from the center of the locking member 2. For example, in the examples of FIG1 and FIG3 , the second locking structure 212 is located in front of the first locking structure 211. Thus, when the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are assembled, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are first locked by the first locking structure 211, and then the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are locked by the second locking structure 212. Thus, the first locking structure 211 and the second locking structure 212 cooperate with each other, further strengthening the locking of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, and further strengthening the stability of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 after assembly. Moreover, when the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are assembled, the locking of the first locking structure 211 and the second locking structure 212 can be completed in sequence, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG3 , the second locking structure 212 is a locking protrusion 2121, which is disposed on a side surface of the locking member 2 adjacent to the center of the body 1. For example, in the example of FIG3 , using the locking member 2 on the upper side of the body 1 as an example, the upper end of the locking protrusion 2121 is connected to the lower surface of the locking member 2, and the lower end of the locking protrusion 2121 extends downward, with a gap between the lower end of the locking protrusion 2121 and the body 1. When the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are mated, the locking protrusion 2121 can fit within the locking groove 202 on the second connector 200. This configuration simplifies the structure of the locking protrusion 2121, facilitating ease of production and reducing the difficulty of producing the locking protrusion 2121, thereby lowering the production cost of the locking structure 21. Furthermore, the locking protrusion 2121 can adjust the center of gravity of the locking member 2, preventing the front end of the locking member 2 from tilting due to the heavier rear end of the locking member 2, thereby helping to improve the locking effect of the second locking structure 212. Furthermore, after the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are assembled, the locking protrusion 2121 is located on the lower surface of the locking member 2, allowing a portion of the rear side of the second connector 200 to be inserted between the locking protrusion 2121 and the body 1, thereby facilitating the engagement of the locking protrusion 2121 with the locking groove 202, thereby facilitating the locking of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG3 , multiple locking structures 21 are located at one end of the locking member 2 in the longitudinal direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction). A pressing portion 22 is provided at the other end of the locking member 2 in the longitudinal direction, extending obliquely from the one end of the locking member 2 toward the pressing portion 22, with the pressing portion 22 extending away from the body 1. For example, in the example shown in FIG3 , the multiple locking structures 21 are located at the front end of the locking member 2, and the pressing portion 22 is located at the rear end of the locking member 2. Thus, by pressing the pressing portion 22 toward the body 1, the front end of the locking member 2 tilts away from the body 1, driving the first locking structure 211 and the second locking structure 212 to move away from the body 1, thereby facilitating smooth assembly or separation of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, thereby improving the smoothness of assembly or separation of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200. Furthermore, the user can apply force to the locking member 2 through the pressing portion 22, making the locking member 2 easy to use and improving the efficiency of assembly or separation of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200. In addition, the pressing portion 22 is tilted, which helps to reduce the pressing force, thereby saving effort.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG3 , a stopper 23 is provided at the other end of the locking member 2 in the longitudinal direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction). The stopper 23 is located on the side of the locking member 2 adjacent to the body 1 . For example, in the example of FIG3 , using the locking member 2 on the upper side of the body 1 as an example, the upper end of the stopper 23 is connected to the lower surface of the rear end of the locking member 2 , and the lower end of the stopper 23 extends downward, with a gap between the lower end of the stopper 23 and the body 1 . This arrangement allows the stopper 23 to limit the distance the rear end of the locking member 2 can move downward. That is, when the pressing portion 22 is pressed downward, the stopper 23 limits the distance between the rear end of the locking member 2 and the body 1 , preventing the pressing portion 22 from pressing downward excessively and damaging the connection between the locking member 2 and the body 1 . This protects the locking member 2 and extends the service life of the locking member 2 . Furthermore, the stopper 23 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, further reducing the production cost of the first connector 100 .

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 , the locking member 2 includes a first locking segment 25 and a second locking segment 26 .

[0073] Specifically, one end of the first locking segment 25 is connected to the body 1, and the other end of the first locking segment 25 extends along the length direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction) of the body 1. The second locking segment 26 is located on the side of the first locking segment 25 away from the body 1. One end of the second locking segment 26 is connected to the other end of the first locking segment 25, and the other end of the second locking segment 26 extends along the length direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction) of the body 1 in a direction opposite to the other end of the first locking segment 25. The pressing portion 22 is located at the connection between the first locking segment 25 and the second locking segment 26, and a plurality of locking structures 21 are provided at the other end of the second locking segment 26.

[0074] For example, in the example of Figure 3 , the front end of the first locking segment 25 is connected to the body 1, and the rear end of the first locking segment 25 extends from front to back. The rear end of the second locking segment 26 is connected to the rear end of the first locking segment 25, and the front end of the second locking segment 26 extends from back to front. Multiple locking structures 21 are provided at the front end of the second locking segment 26, and the limiting portion 23 is connected to the side of the rear end of the first locking segment 25 that is closest to the body 1. This arrangement, by configuring the locking member 2 with the first locking segment 25 and the second locking segment 26, gives the locking member 2 a double-layer structure, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the locking member 2 and thereby extending the service life of the locking member 2.

[0075] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG3 , the other end of the second locking segment 26 extends beyond the one end of the first locking segment 25. A support portion 251 is provided at the one end of the first locking segment 25, extending toward the second locking segment 26. For example, in FIG3 , using the locking member 2 on the upper side of the body 1 as an example, the front end of the second locking segment 26 extends beyond the front end of the first locking segment 25, i.e., the length of the second locking segment 26 is greater than the length of the first locking segment 25. The front end of the first locking segment 25 is connected to the outer surface of the support portion 251. The support portion 251 extends in the vertical direction. The lower end of the support portion 251 is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the body 1. The upper end of the support portion 251 extends beyond the upper surface of the first locking segment 25. The upper end surface of the support portion 251 abuts against or leaves a gap with the lower surface of the second locking segment 26, resulting in a spacing between the first locking segment 25 and the second locking segment 26. Thus, the support portion 251 supports the second locking segment 26, facilitating the upward tilt of the front end of the second locking segment 26 when the pressing portion 22 is pressed, thereby improving the performance of the locking member 2. Furthermore, the provision of the first locking segment 25 strengthens the support provided by the support portion 251 to the second locking segment 26, further enhancing the stability of the locking member 2. Furthermore, the support portion 251 can adjust the center of gravity of the locking member 2, preventing the front end of the second locking segment 26 from tilting upward excessively, thereby enhancing the locking effect of the multiple locking structures 21.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present application, with reference to FIG3 , there are multiple locking members 2, and the multiple locking members 2 are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the body 1. For example, in the example of FIG3 , there are two locking members 2, and the two locking members 2 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the body 1, and the two locking members 2 are symmetrical along the front-to-back direction. Thus, when the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are connected, they can be locked simultaneously by using the multiple locking structures 21 on the two locking members 2 on both sides of the body 1, so that the opposite sides of the first connector 100 can be locked with the second connector 200, thereby strengthening the overall connection strength of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, and further improving the assembly stability of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

[0077] According to the second connector 200 of the second embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 4 , the second connector 200 is used to detachably mate with the first connector 100 according to the first embodiment of the present application.

[0078] According to the second connector 200 of the present application, by being assembled or separated with the first connector 100, the assembly or separation operation of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is simplified, and the connection between the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is made more stable.

[0079] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 4 and 5 , a locking block 201 is provided on the second connector 200. The locking block 201 is adapted to detachably engage with the locking groove 2111 or the locking protrusion 2121 of the first connector 100. For example, in the examples of Figures 4 and 5 , the locking block 201 is located on the outer circumference of the second connector 200 and protrudes upward. When the locking block 201 engages with the locking groove 2111 of the first connector 100 (as shown in Figure 11 ), the first locking structure 211 is locked, thereby enhancing the stability of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200. When the locking block 201 is engaged with the locking protrusion 2121 of the first connector 100 (as shown in Figure 9), the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are in a pre-locking state, the rear side surface of the locking protrusion 2121 is abutted against the front side surface of the locking block 201, and the locking block 201 is clamped between the locking protrusion 2121 and the locking member 2, thereby preventing the first connector 100 or the second connector 200 from falling during the assembly process of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, thereby facilitating the smooth assembly of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG4 , a locking groove 202 is formed on the second connector 200. The locking groove 202 is located on one side of the locking block 201, adjacent to the center of the second connector 200. The locking groove 202 is adapted to detachably engage with the locking protrusion 2121. For example, in the example of FIG4 , the locking groove 202 is located at the front end of the locking block 201 and is recessed downward. Thus, the locking protrusion 2121 can detachably engage with the locking groove 202 to connect the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, effectively improving the locking effect between the first connector 100 and the second connector 200. Furthermore, the locking groove 202 facilitates the engagement or disengagement of the locking protrusion 2121, thereby facilitating the assembly or separation of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, thereby increasing the assembly or separation speed of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200. Furthermore, the simple structure of the locking groove 202 simplifies the structure of the second connector 200 and reduces the production cost of the second connector 200.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the third aspect of the present application, a connector assembly 300, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, includes a first connector 100 and a second connector 200. The first connector 100 is the first connector 100 according to any embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, and the second connector 200 is the second connector 200 according to any embodiment of the second aspect of the present application. The second connector 200 is detachably mated with the first connector 100. For example, in the examples of Figures 6 and 7, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are positioned adjacent to each other and assembled in the front-to-back direction. Through the mating of the locking groove 2111 with the locking block 201, and the mating of the locking groove 202 with the locking protrusion 2121, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 can be stably connected as a whole. In addition, the assembly or disassembly of the connector assembly 300 is facilitated, thereby increasing the assembly or disassembly speed of the connector assembly 300. In addition, the stability of the connector assembly 300 is improved, thereby improving the safety of the connector assembly 300.

[0082] 8-11 , the process of assembling the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 into the connector assembly 300 is as follows: first, press the two pressing portions 22 toward the main body 1 at the same time until the two limiting portions 23 both stop against the outer peripheral surface of the main body 1, pushing the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 closer to each other in the front-to-back direction until the locking protrusion 2121 is located on the front side of the locking block 201. At this time, the assembly of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is in the first state (as shown in FIG. 8 ). Then, the pressing portion 22 is released until the rear side of the locking protrusion 2121 can be matched with the front side of the locking block 201, and the locking block 201 is engaged with the locking protrusion 2121. At this time, the assembly of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is in the second state, that is, the pre-locking state (as shown in FIG9 ). At this time, the first connector 100 can be connected to the second connector 200 through the engagement of the locking block 201 and the locking protrusion 2121, and is not easy to fall off the second connector 200. Next, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are pushed closer to each other in the front-to-back direction until the locking protrusion 2121 is opposite to the locking groove 202. At this time, the assembly of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is in the third state, that is, the locking block 201 is engaged in the locking groove 2111 (as shown in FIG10 ). Subsequently, the pressing portion 22 is released, and the locking protrusion 2121 moves toward the body 1 until the locking protrusion 2121 is engaged with the locking groove 202. At this time, the assembly of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 is in the fourth state, that is, the final locked state, that is, the connector assembly 300 is completed (as shown in Figure 11). The disassembly process of the connector assembly 300 is opposite to the assembly process of the connector assembly 300, and the fourth state, the third state, the second state and the first state are passed in sequence to completely unlock the connector assembly 300. Then, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are pulled away from each other until the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are separated from each other, thereby completing the disassembly of the connector assembly 300.
