Microphone Connector Sleeve Elastic Locking Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional gooseneck microphones experience loose connections to microphone stands, leading to noise generation due to vibrations, which existing solutions fail to adequately address.
Innovation Solution
A connector with a sleeve and elastic member is inserted into a connector support hole, providing a mechanical lock and preventing loose connections by utilizing a tapered insertion portion and elastic biasing to secure the microphone to the stand.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional connector is used to attach the microphone to the stand, then the connection is simple and quick, but the connection becomes loose due to vibrations, generating noise
Solution Approach 1:
The connector incorporates an elastic member that allows dynamic adjustment and self-tightening. When the connector is inserted into the stand, the elastic member deforms and then gradually returns to its original shape, continuously applying tightening force to maintain a secure connection despite vibrations.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member acts as an intermediary between the connector body and the stand. It transmits and amplifies the insertion force into continuous tightening force, mediating the interaction between the rigid connector components and the vibrating stand to prevent loosening.
2Reliability
If the connector structure is made more complex to prevent loosening, then connection stability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic member is implemented as a flexible thin-walled structure that can deform elastically. This flexible component provides the tightening function without requiring complex mechanical assemblies, maintaining simplicity while achieving reliable connection stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member provides self-tightening functionality automatically upon insertion. The connector does not require additional adjustment mechanisms or complex control systems; the elastic deformation and recovery of the member itself generates the necessary tightening force to prevent loosening.

Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively prevents loose connections and noise generation by creating a secure attachment between the microphone and the stand, enhancing stability and reducing vibration-induced noise.

AI summary
A connector for a microphone and a microphone are provided that can prevent loose connections to a microphone stand. The connector for the microphone is to be inserted into a connector support hole of a microphone stand. The connector includes pins to be electrically connected to the microphone stand, a connector body accommodating the pins, a sleeve disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the connector body, and an elastic member for biasing the sleeve toward the rear end of the connector body. The sleeve has an insertion portion to be inserted into a space between the connector body and the connector support hole.
