shaped buckle strips

131 and 132 and a third engaging surface 1332 at the opposite side.

As further shown in fig. 5, the buckle body 110 is formed by connecting a first horizontal plate 115, a first oblique transition plate 116a and a second oblique transition plate 116b extending from two sides of the first horizontal plate 115 obliquely outward, and a second horizontal plate 117a and a third horizontal plate 117b extending horizontally from the outer sides of the first oblique transition plate 116a and the second oblique transition plate 116 b. The first T-shaped snap male end structure 130 is disposed on the second side surface 112 of the first horizontal plate 115 in the recessed space formed by the first horizontal plate 115, the first oblique transition plate 116a, and the second oblique transition plate 116b, and the first engaging groove 121 and the second engaging groove 122 of the first T-shaped snap female end structure 120 are respectively disposed on the first side surfaces 111 of the second horizontal plate 117a and the third horizontal plate 117 b. Thus, after the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are connected and fixed together by the connector combination buckle device 100, the distance between the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 can be reduced as much as possible, so as to enhance the connection stability and reduce the occupied space.

Referring again to fig. 6 and 7, the first connector 200 is provided with a first mounting structure 202 on a side surface 201 opposite to the first side surface 111 of the latch body 110 for mating connection with the first T-shaped latch female end structure 120.

The transverse plate 212 of the third inverted-L-shaped snap strip 210 and the transverse plate 222 of the fourth inverted-L-shaped snap strip 220 are aligned with the open ends of the first slot 121 and the second slot 122 of the first T-shaped snap female structure 120 of the connector assembly snap device 100, respectively, and inserted into the first slot 121 and the second slot 122 until abutting against the

closing plates

1213 and 1223 of the closed ends, so that the first mounting structure 202 and the first T-shaped snap female structure 120 are connected in place, as shown in fig. 7. In addition, a fourth latch 230 and a fifth latch 240 respectively protrude from inner sides of the vertical plate 211 of the third inverted-L-shaped snap strip 210 and the vertical plate 221 of the fourth inverted-L-shaped snap strip 220, which are opposite to each other. A fourth guiding inclined surface 231 is formed on one side of the fourth fixture block 230 relatively close to the closed end of the first fixture groove 121 during the plugging process, and a fourth clamping surface 232 is formed on one side of the fourth fixture block far away from the closed end of the first fixture groove 121. Similarly, a fifth guiding inclined surface 241 is formed on a side of the fifth latch 240 relatively close to the closed end of the second latch slot 122 during the plugging process, and a fifth engaging surface 242 is formed on a side close to the closed end of the second latch slot 122. In this way, when the first mounting structure 202 and the first T-shaped female buckle end structure 120 are connected in place, the first fixture block 123, the fourth fixture block 230, the second fixture block 124 and the fifth fixture block 240 are respectively clamped in place through the guiding fit between the first guiding inclined surface 1231 and the fourth guiding inclined surface 231 and the guiding fit between the second guiding inclined surface 1241 and the fifth guiding inclined surface, that is, the first engaging surface 1232 of the first fixture block 123 and the fourth engaging surface 232 of the fourth fixture block 230 abut against each other, the second engaging surface 1242 of the second fixture block 124 and the fifth engaging surface 242 of the fifth fixture block 240 abut against each other (see fig. 7), so that the first mounting structure 202 is prevented from coming off from the open end of the first T-shaped female buckle end structure 120, and the first connector 200 is fixedly connected with the connector combination buckle device 100.

Referring again to fig. 8 and 9, the second connector 300 is provided with a second mounting structure 302 on a side surface 301 opposite the second side surface 112 of the latch body 110 for mating connection with the first T-shaped latch male end structure 130. As shown in fig. 8 in particular, the second mounting structure 302 includes a third slot 310 and a fourth slot 320 formed on a side surface 301 of the second connector 300 and spaced apart from each other, for mating with the first inverted-L-shaped snap strip 131 and the second inverted-L-shaped snap strip 132 of the first T-shaped snap male end structure 130 of the connector assembly snap device 100, respectively. The third locking groove 310 is formed by a vertical plate 311 vertically extending from the side surface 301 of the second connector 300, and a horizontal plate 312 laterally extending inward from an end of the vertical plate 311 and surrounding the side surface 301 of the second connector 300. Similarly, the fourth locking groove 320 is formed by a vertical plate 321 extending vertically from the side surface 301 of the second connector 300 and a horizontal plate 322 extending laterally inward from an end of the vertical plate 321, which are surrounded by the side surface 301 of the second connector 300. Also, one ends of the third card slot 310 and the fourth card slot 320 corresponding to the third guide slope 1331 of the third card block 133 are closed by the third sealing plate 313 and the fourth sealing plate 323 to form closed ends, respectively, and the other ends are both open ends. In addition, the side surface 301 of the second connector 300 is further provided with a vertically protruding sixth latch 330 corresponding to the third latch 133 on the second side surface 112 of the latch body 110 of the connector combination latch device 100 at a position between the third latch groove 310 and the fourth latch groove 320 for mating with the third latch 133. The sixth latch 330 forms a sixth guide slope 311 on a side relatively far from the closed ends of the third and

fourth latches

310 and 320, and forms a sixth engaging surface 332 on a side relatively close to the closed ends of the third and

fourth latches
