It will be appreciated that the male end main body 21 and the movable housing 30 may be provided with bosses for fixing the elastic member 40, respectively, or the elastic member 40 may be connected to the inherent structures of the male end main body 21 and the movable housing 30.

In some embodiments, the elastic member 40 is disposed between the first boss 212 and the second boss 32, specifically, one end of the elastic member 40 is connected to the first boss 212, and the other end of the elastic member 40 is connected to the second boss 32, and the movable housing 30 moves in the pulling direction relative to the male end main body 21 to deform the elastic member 40 under compression.

In this embodiment, the first boss 212 and the second boss 32 are used for providing a fixed foundation for the elastic member 40 in addition to limiting, and under the action of the elastic member 40, the first boss 212 cannot directly abut against the second boss 32, but becomes indirectly abutting against, and the indirectly abutting means that when the movable housing 30 moves to a certain position relative to the male end main body 21, the elastic member 40 is pressed and deformed to a limit position and cannot be deformed further, and at this time, the second boss 32 continues to move and drives the first boss 212 to move synchronously through the elastic member 40; when the movable housing 30 moves to a certain position relative to the male housing 21, the elastic member 40 is deformed to a very limited position and cannot be deformed further, and at this time, if the movable housing 30 continues to move along the pulling-out direction, the second boss 32 will drive the first boss 212 to move through the elastic member 40, and the male housing 21 moves synchronously with the movable housing 30.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, in an embodiment, a first fool-proof structure 33 is disposed on the movable housing 30, a second fool-proof structure 12 is disposed on the female end 10, and the first fool-proof structure 33 can be cooperatively connected with the second fool-proof structure 12 after the male end main body 21 is inserted into the slot 11; the first fool-proof structure 33 and the second fool-proof structure 12 can facilitate the user to confirm the correct insertion direction of the male end 20, avoid the situation that the user tries multiple times when the male end cannot be inserted due to the error direction, and improve convenience.

In some embodiments, the first fool-proof structure 33 may be disposed at an end of the movable housing 30 facing the female end 10, and the second fool-proof structure 12 is disposed at an end of the female end 10 facing the movable housing 30; in other embodiments, the first fool-proof structure 33 is disposed on a side of the movable housing 30 facing away from the male end main body 21, which is also a side of the movable housing 30 facing the inner wall of the slot 11, which is also a side of the movable housing 30 facing the outside, and the second fool-proof structure 12 is disposed on the inner wall of the slot 11; it is understood that the first fool-proof structure 33 and the second fool-proof structure 12 may be located at other positions on the premise that the first fool-proof structure 33 can be matched with the second fool-proof structure 12.

In some embodiments, the first fool-proof structure 33 is a protruding block protruding from the movable housing 30, the second fool-proof structure 12 is a recessed groove recessed in the inner wall of the slot 11, and the protruding block also enters the recessed groove during the process of inserting the male end main body 21 into the slot 11, and if the male end main body 21 is inserted into the slot 11 in a wrong direction, the male end main body 21 cannot enter the slot 11 under the action of the protruding block; in other embodiments, the first fool-proof structure 33 may be a groove, and the second fool-proof structure 12 may be a bump; it is understood that the first fool-proof structure 33 and the second fool-proof structure 12 are not limited to the bump and the groove, but may be other structures that are cooperatively connected.

The application process of the connector provided by the embodiment of the application is as follows: when the male end 20 needs to be inserted into the female end 10, the first fool-proof structure 33 is opposite to the second fool-proof structure 12, and then the user holds the movable housing 30 and brings the movable housing 30 close to the female end 10 along the first direction, and at this time, the movable housing 30 abuts against the clamping surface 2222 of the clamping portion 222, so that the male end main body 21 can move synchronously with the movable housing 30, and finally the movable housing 30 and the male end main body 21 are inserted into the slot 11; when the male end 20 needs to be pulled out from the female end 10, a user holds the movable housing 30 and applies a force along the pulling direction, the movable housing 30 moves along the pulling direction relative to the male end main body 21, in the process, the movable housing 30 is pressed against the inclined surface 2221 and moves the clamping part 222 along the pulling-out direction, finally the clamping part 222 is pulled out of the clamping groove 111, after the clamping part 222 is pulled out of the clamping groove 111, the movable housing 30 continues to move along the pulling-out direction, at this time, under the action of the first boss 212, the elastic piece 40 and the second boss 32, the movable housing 30 drives the male end main body 21 to synchronously move, and finally the male end main body 21 and the movable housing 30 are pulled out from the slot 11; after the male end 20 is pulled out, the user releases the movable housing 30, and under the action of the elastic member 40, the movable housing 30 is reset, and one end of the clamping portion 222 passes through the through hole 31 and extends to the outside.

The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present application, and are not limiting thereof; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and are intended to be included in the scope of the present application.
