The embodiment of the application firstly provides a connector, and the connector can be applied to electronic equipment. The electronic device may include, but is not limited to, a robot, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or a wearable device (e.g., a headset or a smart band), and the type of the electronic device is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a connector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the connector may include a power supply part 11 and a communication part 12. The first surface of the power component 11 has a power pin 110 extending outwards, and the first surface of the communication component 12 has a communication pin 120 extending outwards. The outward extending finger extends along the direction perpendicular to the first surface and in the direction far away from the first surface.

In the embodiment of the present application, both the power supply unit 11 and the communication unit 12 may have any shape, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped or a square. The first surface of the power component 11 can be any surface of the power component 11, and the first surface of the communication component 12 can be any surface of the communication component 12, so that the first surface of the power component 11 and the first surface of the communication component 12 are only required to be in the same plane.

In the embodiment of the present application, the length of the power pin 110 is greater than the length of the communication pin 120.

Based on this, when the above connector is applied to an electronic device, as shown in fig. 2, the power supply part 11 may be connected to a battery 31 in the electronic device, the communication part 12 may be connected to a control module 32 in the electronic device, and a switch S1 may be provided in a connection path of the power supply part 11 and the battery 31. Thus, when the control module 32 detects that the communication pin 120 is in place in contact with a communication slot (not shown) in a corresponding interface, the switch S1 can be controlled to be turned on, so as to switch on a connection path between the power supply unit 11 and the battery 31, thereby charging the battery 31; when the control module 32 detects that the communication pin 120 is not in place in contact with the communication slot in the corresponding interface, the switch S1 may be controlled to be turned off, so as to disconnect the connection path between the power supply unit 11 and the battery 31, thereby preventing the power supply pin 110 from being burnt.

In an embodiment of the present application, since the communication pin 120 is in the idle connection state, that is, in the high impedance state, when the communication pin 120 is not in contact with the communication slot in the corresponding interface in place, when the control module 32 detects that the communication pin 120 is at the high level, it is determined that the communication pin 120 is not in contact with the communication slot in the corresponding interface in place, and at this time, the control module 32 may control the switch S1 to be turned off; since the communication pin 120 is pulled down to the ground when the communication pin 120 contacts the communication slot of the corresponding interface in place, when the control module 32 detects that the communication pin 120 is at a low level, it is determined that the communication pin 120 contacts the communication slot of the corresponding interface in place, and at this time, the control module 32 can control the switch S1 to be turned on.

It can be seen from the above that, the connector provided in this application embodiment includes a power supply component and a communication component, a power supply pin extends outward from a first surface of the power supply component, and a communication pin extends outward from a first surface of the communication component, and because the first surface of the power supply component and the first surface of the communication component are located on the same plane, and the length of the power supply pin is greater than that of the communication pin, it can be ensured that the power supply pin and the power supply slot in the corresponding interface are certainly contacted in place when the communication pin and the slot in the corresponding interface are contacted in place.

The corresponding interface refers to an interface adapted to the connector in fig. 1, and the specific structure of the interface may refer to the description in the following embodiments, which are not described herein too much.

Referring to fig. 1, in an embodiment of the present application, the power pin 110 may include a positive pin 1101 and a negative pin 1102, where the length of the negative pin 1102 may be greater than the length of the positive pin 1101, so as to ensure that the negative pin 1102 contacts the power socket before the positive pin 1101 during charging of the electronic device, thereby further improving the safety during charging of the electronic device.

In practical applications, since the power of the electrical signal transmitted through the power pin 110 is usually large, for example, when the electronic device is charged by a large current charging method, the current of the electrical signal transmitted through the power pin 110 is large, in an embodiment of the present application, in order to prevent the power pin 110 from being burned out when the electronic device is charged, both the positive pin 1101 and the negative pin 1102 may be sheet pins.

In another embodiment of the present application, the communication pin 120 may include a data pin 1201 and an in-place detection pin 1202. Wherein the length of the data pin 1201 may be greater than or equal to the length of the in-place detection pin 1202. Specifically, the data pin 1201 may be used to implement data transmission between the electronic device and another device connected to the electronic device; the in-place detection pin 1202 may be configured to implement a contact in-place detection function between the connector and the corresponding interface, for example, when the control module 32 detects that the in-place detection pin 1202 is in place in contact with the in-place detection slot of the corresponding interface, the switch S1 may be controlled to be turned on, so as to connect a connection path between the connector and the battery 31, thereby implementing charging of the battery.

In this embodiment, the number of the data pins 1201 may be one or more, and may be specifically set according to actual requirements, and the number of the data pins is not particularly limited herein.

In practical applications, since the power of the electrical signals transmitted through the data pin 1201 and the in-place detection pin 1202 is usually small, both the data pin 1201 and the in-place detection pin 1202 may be pin-shaped pins based on the consideration of the volume of the connector, so that the volume of the connector can be reduced, and the miniaturization design of the connector is facilitated.

In yet another embodiment of the present application, the connector may further include a fixing part 14 for fixing the power supply part 11 and the communication part 12. Wherein a first face of the fixing part 14 extends outwardly with a fixing head 140. The first face of the fixing part 14 is in the same plane as the first face of the power supply part 11.

In one possible implementation manner of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the number of the fixing parts 14 may be two, the two fixing parts 14 may be disposed on the base 13 side by side with the power supply part 11 and the communication part 12, and the two fixing parts 14 may be disposed adjacent to the two power supply parts 11, respectively, so that both the two power supply parts 11 and the communication part 12 are fixed between the two fixing parts 14, thereby improving the stability of the joint.

Wherein the depth of the negative power socket 2102 may be greater than the depth of the positive power socket 2101.

In a specific application, the number of the fixed slots 240 may be one or more, and when the number of the fixed slots 240 is two, the two fixed slots 240 may be respectively disposed next to the two power supply slots 210.
