As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a connection structure including a first connector 1 and a second connector 2 detachably connected, which is convenient to install and detach, and improves the convenience of use.

The first connector 1 is provided with a lock engagement portion 11, and the lock engagement portion 11 is configured to perform lock engagement when the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are connected. The second connecting body 2 includes a connecting body 21, a locking member 22, and a slider 23. The connector body 21 is configured to be connected with the first connector 1, and the locking piece 22 and the sliding piece 23 are provided on the connector body 21, respectively. The slider 23 is slidably held on the connector body 21, and relatively slides with the lock 22.

Here, the lock 22 has an elastic portion 221 and a locking portion 222, the locking portion 222 being provided on the elastic portion 221; accordingly, when the elastic portion 221 is elastically deformed, the lock portion 222 follows the positional change. The sliding member 23 can slide along the first sliding direction to contact the elastic portion 221, force the elastic portion 221 to elastically deform to enable the elastic portion 221 to approach the locking matching portion 11, further enable the locking portion 222 to approach and tightly abut against the locking matching portion 11 in a follow-up manner, and enable the locking portion 222 and the locking matching portion 11 to tightly abut against each other, so that the connecting body 21 and the first connecting body 1 are kept in a reliable connecting state; the slider 23 may also slide in the opposite direction to the first sliding direction to separate from the elastic portion 221, to make the elastic portion 221 lose the forced force to reset and separate from the locking engagement portion 11, so that the locking portion 222 is separated from the locking engagement portion 11 to release the locking, thereby enabling the connector body 21 and the first connector 1 to be separated and detached quickly.

The connecting structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model uses the sliding action of the sliding piece 23 along a pair of opposite directions, forces the elastic part 221 to elastically deform in the first sliding direction to realize the jacking locking between the locking part 222 and the locking matching part 11, so that the connecting body 21 and the first connecting body 1 are kept in a reliable connecting state, and resets the elastic part 221 in the opposite direction of the first sliding direction to realize the unlocking between the locking part 222 and the locking matching part 11, so that the connecting body 21 and the first connecting body 1 can be quickly separated and detached; compared with the related art, the connecting structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model realizes locking and unlocking in a sliding mode, is convenient to install and disassemble, and improves the use convenience.

The configuration of the connector body 21 may be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present utility model is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the connector body 21 may have an inner cavity portion 211 and a through hole portion 212, and the locking member 22 may be fixedly disposed in the inner cavity portion 211, and the locking portion 222 is disposed corresponding to the through hole portion 212; when the connector body 21 and the first connector 1 are connected, the through hole portion 212 and the lock engagement portion 11 are disposed facing each other. When the elastic part 221 is forced to elastically deform in a sliding manner by the sliding piece 23, the locking part 222 can slide along the through hole part 212 along with the elastic part 221 to push out of the connector body 21, and the locking part 222 can push against the locking matching part 11 after being pushed out to achieve the locking purpose; when the elastic portion 221 is reset, the locking portion 222 slides into the connector body 21 along the through hole 212, and the locking portion 222 gradually separates from the locking engagement portion 11 during the sliding process, thereby achieving the purpose of unlocking.

In some examples, a chute portion 213 may be provided on a surface of the connector body 21, the chute portion 213 being in communication with the interior cavity portion 211. Here, the connection structure may include a slide control member 24, the slide control member 24 being slidably held in the slide groove portion 213 and connected with the slide member 23, and the slide member 23 being slidably disposed in the inner cavity portion 211. In use, a user can manually drive the sliding control member 24 to slide along the chute portion 213, and the sliding control member 24 drives the sliding member 23 to slide, thereby achieving the above-mentioned locking/unlocking purpose.

In some embodiments, the slider 23 is slidable relative to the lock 22; here, the sliding direction of the slider 23 and the elastic deformation direction of the elastic portion 221 can be maintained to be perpendicular or inclined at an angle, so that the slider 23 and the locking member 22 have a relatively compact and rational structural layout. In this way, when the slider 23 approaches the elastic portion 221 on the lock 22 in the first sliding direction with respect to the lock 22, as the slider 23 starts to contact the elastic portion 221, the elastic portion 221 is elastically deformed in the direction perpendicular to or inclined to the sliding direction of the slider 23 and approaches the lock engagement portion 11, so that the lock portion 222 approaches and abuts against the lock engagement portion 11 in the elastic deformation direction of the elastic portion 221, and the abutting lock between the lock portion 222 and the lock engagement portion 11 is achieved, thereby maintaining the connection body 21 and the first connection body 1 in a reliable connection state. In contrast, when the slider 23 moves away from the elastic portion 221 on the lock member 22 in the opposite direction to the first sliding direction, the pressing force applied to the elastic portion 221 is removed to allow the elastic portion 221 to return, so that the lock portion 222 can move away from the lock engagement portion 11 along with the elastic portion 221, and the separation between the lock portion 222 and the lock engagement portion 11 is achieved to release the lock, thereby enabling the connector body 21 and the first connector 1 to be quickly separated and removed.

In some embodiments, the connector body 21 may be provided with a plurality of locking buckles 214, and the plurality of locking buckles 214 are sequentially spaced along the sliding direction of the sliding member 23. The slider 23 may be provided with a latch portion 231, and the slider 23 slidably switches the latch portion 231 between the plurality of latch positions 214. One of the locking buckle 214 and the locking buckle 231 is a protruding portion, and the other is a recessed portion, and the protruding portion is embedded in the recessed portion to lock the positions of the slider 23 and the locking member 22 in the sliding direction of the slider 23.

Here, among the plurality of locking buckle positions 214, one locking buckle position 214 corresponds to a locking position; when the latching portion 231 is locked in the latching position 214 of the corresponding locking position, the slider 23 and the elastic portion 221 remain in contact and relatively stationary, and the locking portion 222 and the locking engagement portion 11 remain in a top-tight locked state. And among the plurality of locking buckle positions 214, at least one locking buckle position 214 corresponds to an unlocking position; when the latching portion 231 is locked in the latching position 214 of the corresponding unlocking position, the slider 23 and the elastic portion 221 remain separated and relatively stationary, and the locking portion 222 and the locking engagement portion 11 remain in the separated unlocking state. In this way, with the relative movement between the slider 23 and the lock 22, the slider 23 can slidably switch the latching portion 231 between the latching position 214 corresponding to the locking position and the latching position 214 corresponding to the unlocking position, thereby achieving switching between the connection lock and the disconnection state of the connector body 21 and the first connector 1.

In some embodiments, the slider 23 may be provided with a flange portion 232. The flange portions 232 and the elastic portions 221 are provided in equal number and one-to-one correspondence, and the protruding direction of the flange portions 232 and the sliding direction of the slider 23 are inclined vertically or at an angle. The flange portion 232 is configured to force the elastic portion 221 to elastically deform when in contact with the elastic portion 221. When the slider 23 slides in the first sliding direction and contacts the elastic portion 221, the flange portion 232 follows the elastic portion 221, and applies a pressing force to the elastic portion 221, so that the elastic portion 221 is forcibly elastically deformed by the pressing force. By providing the flange 232, it is ensured that the slider 23 can reliably press the elastic portion 221, and further that the elastic portion 221 is sufficiently elastically deformed by the forced action.

In some embodiments, the locking member 22 may include at least one pair of resilient portions 221. The two elastic parts 221 of the pair are disposed at opposite intervals along the first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular or inclined at an angle to the sliding direction of the slider 23. A locking portion 222 is provided on one side of each elastic portion 221 away from the other elastic portion 221 paired therewith, and the slider 23 is provided between the paired two elastic portions 221. In this way, the second connector 2 can be connected to the first connector 1 on both sides of the slider 23, and the slider 23 can slidably force the elastic parts 221 on both sides of the slider to elastically deform at the same time, so as to force the locking parts 222 on both sides of the slider 23 to be locked against the corresponding locking mating parts 11, thereby increasing the reliability of the connection locking.

In some examples, when the locking member 22 includes the plurality of pairs of elastic portions 221, the plurality of pairs of elastic portions 221 are sequentially spaced apart in the sliding direction of the slider 23. Accordingly, the locking piece 22 is provided with a plurality of locking portions 222 along the sliding direction of the slider 23. In this way, a plurality of locking structures can be formed between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 along the sliding direction of the slider 23, increasing the reliability of the connection locking.

The structural shape of the locking member 22 may be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present utility model is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the locking member 22 is only in an elastic structure at the elastic portion 221, and is in a rigid structure that is not elastically deformable at other portions; in other embodiments, the locking member 22 may be integrally formed as a resilient structure that is resiliently deformable.

The structure of the connector body 21 may be determined according to actual needs, and an integrally formed structure or a split assembly structure may be adopted, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present utility model. In some embodiments, the connector body 21 may include a front case 21a and a rear case 21b, with the front case 21a and the rear case 21b being spliced opposite to form the connector body 21. In some examples, the connector body 21 may include an inner cavity portion 211, and the front case 21a and the rear case 21b may enclose the inner cavity portion 211.

In some embodiments, the second connector 2 may further include a sealing member 25, and the sealing member 25 is disposed on the connector body 21 in a region where the first connector 1 is connected. The seal 25 can form a reliable seal between the connector body 21 and the first connector 1, increasing the sealing waterproof performance. The type of the sealing member 25 may be determined according to actual needs, and may be a type such as an end face seal, a peripheral face seal, or the like, and accordingly configured as a gasket, a seal ring, or the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present utility model.
