The technical scheme of the utility model is further explained by the specific implementation mode in combination with the attached drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a connector structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the connector structure includes a connection ring 1, an electric connection portion 2, and a housing 3.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a connection ring according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 is a schematic perspective view of an electrical connection portion and a gasket according to an embodiment of the utility model. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the connection ring 1 includes a connection port 13 protruding from one surface thereof, and a first sliding portion 11 disposed on the other surface thereof, wherein a first fixing portion 12 is disposed on the first sliding portion 11. The electrical connection portion 2 includes a second sliding portion 21, and a second fixing portion 22 is disposed on the second sliding portion 21. The first sliding portion 11 is engaged with the second sliding portion 21, and the connection ring 1 and the electrical connection portion 2 are fixed to the second fixing portion 22 through the first fixing portion 12. That is, the first sliding portion 11 and the second sliding portion 21 have a structure matched with each other, so that a sliding connection can be achieved, and during an assembling process, the second sliding portion 21 slides toward the first sliding portion 11, so that the first fixing portion 12 and the second fixing portion 22 respectively disposed thereon are matched, so that the connection ring 1 is sleeved on one end of the electrical connection portion 2 to fix the two to each other.

Further, a gasket 4 is provided between the connection ring 1 and the electrical connection portion 2. The connection ring 1 comprises a flange 14, the flange 14 being arranged around the interface 13, wherein the gasket 4 matches the shape of the flange 14. That is, in order to fix the connection ring 1 and the electrical connection portion 2 more closely to each other, the provision of the spacer 4 therebetween can effectively increase the frictional force of the contact surfaces, and at the same time, can prevent the surfaces of the connection ring 1 and the electrical connection portion 2 from being scratched due to uneven application of force during use. In this embodiment, the connection ring 1 is made of metal. That is, the connection ring 1 is injection-molded at one time from metal powder. Therefore, the material of the spacer 4 should be an insulating material, such as PC plastic, which has certain elasticity, so as to effectively disperse the stress and avoid the generation of static electricity due to friction from affecting the performance of the electrical connection portion 2.

Further, the flange 14 is in contact with the housing 3, so that the connection ring 1 is fixed to the housing 3. In the present embodiment, the connection ring 1 is fixed to the housing 3 by fitting, and in other embodiments, it can be fixed to the housing 3 by using an adhesive. That is, the flange 14 disposed around the interface 13 enables a larger covering area between the connection ring 1 and the housing 3 for snap-fitting or adhesive-fitting, thereby being more tightly fixed to each other. Alternatively, the connection ring 1 may be fixed to the housing 3 in other ways.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of another perspective of the attachment ring of the embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 5 is a schematic perspective view of an electrical connection portion from another perspective according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the interface 13 further has a step surface 131, one end of the electrical connector 23 is provided with a step protrusion 231, and the step surface 131 and the step protrusion 231 are cooperatively arranged so that the connection ring 1 is sleeved on one end of the electrical connector 2. That is, in order to make the electrical connection portion 2 and the connection ring 1 more securely fixed, in the present embodiment, the stepped convex portion 231 of the electrical connector 23 partially protrudes into the interface 13 and abuts against the stepped surface 131 of the interface 13. Since the stepped surface 131 and the stepped convex portion 231 have matching shapes, the connection ring 1 and the electrical connection portion 2 can be prevented from being positionally displaced in other directions when the second slide portion 21 slides toward the first slide portion 11. At the same time, the gasket 4 is arranged around the power socket, i.e. between the interface 13 of the connection ring 1 and the power socket of the electrical connector 23, thereby providing a cushioning effect.

Fig. 6 is a top view of a connector structure of an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a connector structure of an embodiment of the present invention taken along plane a-a. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the housing 3 of the connector structure includes a through hole 31 into which the interface 13 extends.

To enable the electrical connection section 2 inside the housing 3 to be electrically connected with an external element, the electrical connection piece 23 inside the electrical connection section 2 should communicate with the outside from the interface 13. In the present embodiment, the through hole 31 allows the interface 13 to be located on the surface of the housing 3, so that the electrical connector 23 can also communicate from the through hole 31 to the outside of the housing 3. In the present embodiment, the electrical connector 23 is a power socket disposed on one side of the electrical connection portion 2 facing the connection ring 1, and the interface 13 is formed in a hollow shape matching the power socket to guide insertion of a butted external power plug. That is, in use, a user can use an external power plug to mate with the power jack of the electrical connection portion 2 of the present embodiment, and insert the external power plug into the power jack of the electrical connection portion 2 through the interface 13 in the through hole 31.

Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a connector structure of an embodiment of the present invention taken along plane B-B. Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a connector structure of an embodiment of the present invention taken along plane C-C. As shown in fig. 7 and 8, in the present embodiment, the first sliding portion 11 is formed as a slide groove, and the second sliding portion 21 is formed as a slider having a shape matching the slide groove so that the second sliding portion 21 can slide toward the first sliding portion 11. Alternatively, the first sliding portion 11 may be formed as a slider, and the second sliding portion 21 may be formed as a sliding groove.

In the present embodiment, the second fixing portion 22 is formed as a chuck, and the first fixing portion 12 is formed as a card slot into which the chuck is fitted, the card slot having a shape matching the chuck. That is, during the assembly process, the second sliding portion 21 slides toward the first sliding portion 11, and since the second fixing portion 22 protrudes from the second sliding portion 21 and has a chuck formed as a protrusion bent inward at an end portion thereof, it can be fitted into the first fixing portion 12 formed as a chucking hole on the first sliding portion 11 when the second sliding portion 21 reaches a predetermined position. Alternatively, the first fixing portion 12 and the second fixing portion 22 may have other structures, and the application is not limited herein.

Further, the connector structure should have at least one first fixing portion 12 and at least one second fixing portion 22, and the number of the first fixing portions 12 matches that of the second fixing portions 22. In the present embodiment, the first sliding portion 11 and the second sliding portion 21 respectively have two first fixing portions 12 and two second fixing portions 22 arranged side by side. Alternatively, the number of the first fixing portions 12 and the second fixing portions 22 may be varied.

To sum up, compared with the way of fixing the electrical connection portion 2 and the housing 3 by using the nut in the prior art, the connection member structure uses the connection ring 1 to connect the electrical connection portion 2 and the housing 3, thereby avoiding the situation that the nut is embedded in the housing 3 to cause the housing 3 to crack. And, the form of sliding connection between the first sliding part 11 and the second sliding part 21 enables the connection ring 1 and the electrical connection part 2 to have a simpler assembly structure, and the two are further fixed by the first fixing part 12 and the second fixing part 22, which enables the structure to have stronger stability and increases the usability of the product. Alternatively, the connector structure can be used as a product alone, or can be used as an element in an electronic device.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the housing 3 is a housing of the earphone charging box. It should be understood that since the connector structure is often disposed at the charging location of the earphone charging box, for the sake of illustration, only a portion of the housing 3, i.e., the lower half of the casing of the earphone charging box where the charging location is often disposed, is shown in the drawings. Alternatively, the housing 3 may be a housing of other electronic devices, and the housing 3 may have other shapes, which is not limited herein.

The connecting piece structure comprises a connecting ring, an electric connecting part and a shell, wherein one surface of the connecting ring is provided with a protruding interface, the other surface of the connecting ring is provided with a first sliding part, the electric connecting part comprises a second sliding part and an electric connecting piece inside the second sliding part, the shell is fixed with the connecting ring and comprises a through hole for the interface to extend into, the first sliding part is matched with the second sliding part, a first fixing part and a second fixing part are respectively arranged on the first sliding part and the second sliding part, and the connecting ring and the electric connecting part are fixed with each other through the first fixing part and the second fixing part.
