As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments of the present application, the elastic member 11 includes a bending portion 111 and a bending extension portion 112, where the bending portion 111 and the bending extension portion 112 are bending-connected, the bending portion 111 has at least one bending, and the bending extension portion 112 has at least one bending.

In the embodiment of the present application, the bending portion 111 and the bending extension portion 112 are each formed of at least two components, and the two components are connected in an inclined manner at an included angle, so that the structure as a whole presents a structure having at least one bending, for example, the structure shown in fig. 3 and 4 includes at least one bending portion 111 and at least one bending extension portion 112.

In the present embodiment, each bend 111 has a first end wall 1113 and a first side wall 1114, and each bend extension 112 has a second end wall 1124 and a second side wall 1125.

The end wall is located at an end of the bending portion 111 or the bending extension portion 112 along the extending direction, and a plane of the end wall is perpendicular to the extending direction of the bending portion 111 or the bending extension portion 112. In general, each bent portion 111 or bent extension portion 112 has two end walls, which are respectively located at both ends of the bent portion 111 or bent extension portion 112 in the extending direction, for example, when the bent portion 111 or bent extension portion 112 is L-shaped or -shaped, two end walls are respectively located at both ends. In other cases, the bent portion 111 or the bent extension portion 112 may be a shaped structure, and the shaped structure includes a plurality of portions extending in different directions, in which case the shaped structure may have more than two end walls, and the plane of each end wall is perpendicular to the extending direction of the portion in which it is located.

The side wall is located on the side surface of the bending portion 111 or the bending extension portion 112, and the extending direction of the side wall is generally the same as the extending direction of the bending portion 111 or the bending extension portion 112. Wherein the first end wall 1113 and the first side wall 1114 on the same bending part 111 vertically intersect, and the first side wall 1114 is used for connecting the two first end walls 1113 which are oppositely arranged; the second end wall 1124 and the second side wall 1125 on the same bent extension 112 intersect perpendicularly, and the second side wall 1125 is used to connect two second end walls 1124 disposed opposite each other.

In this embodiment of the present application, for the bent portion 111 and the bent extension portion 112 that are connected by bending, the first end wall 1113 of the bent portion 111 and the second end wall 1124 of the bent extension portion 112 may be connected by bending, or the first side wall 1114 of the bent portion 111 and the second side wall 1125 of the bent extension portion 112 may be connected by bending, or the first end wall 1113 of the bent portion 111 and the second side wall 1125 of the bent extension portion 112 may be connected by bending, or the first side wall 1114 of the bent portion 111 and the second end wall 1124 of the bent extension portion 112 may be connected by bending.

Wherein, the bending angle range of the bending part of each bending part 111 is 60-120 degrees; and/or, the bending angle of the bending part of each bending extension part 112 is in the range of 60-120 degrees; and/or the bending angle of the joint of the bending part 111 and the bending extension part 112 is in the range of 60-120 degrees.

Alternatively, the bending angle of the bending portion of each bending portion 111 is 90 degrees; and/or, the bending angle range of the bending part of each bending extension part 112 is 90 degrees; and/or the bending angle at the connection of the bending portion 111 and the bending extension portion 112 is 90 degrees. As shown in fig. 2, for any bending position on the elastic member 11, the bending angle of the bending position is 90 degrees, that is, two components on the elastic member 11 for forming the bending position are vertically connected.

Optionally, each bend and/or each junction is rounded.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the bend extension 112 has more than one bend, with a first side wall 1114 of the bend 111 being connected to a second end wall 1124 of an adjacent bend extension 112.

The bending portion 111 may have an L-shape with only one bending, and the number of bending portions in the bending extension portion 112 is greater than the number of bending portions in the bending portion 111. Wherein, the bending angles of different bending positions on the same bending extension 112 are set according to the requirement, and the bending angles of the bending positions can be the same or different.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, the bend extension 112 may be -shaped. The bending extension 112 includes a first plate 1121, a second plate 1122, and a third plate 1123; one end of the first plate 1121 is connected to the second plate 1122 in a bent manner, the other end of the first plate 1121 is connected to the third plate 1123 in a bent manner, and the second plate 1122 is opposite to the third plate 1123. In this case, the bent extension 112 has two second end walls 1124 respectively at an end of the second plate 1122 remote from the first plate 1121 and an end of the third plate 1123 remote from the first plate 1121.

As shown in fig. 3, for one bent portion 111 and one bent extension portion 112 connected to each other, the first side wall 1114 of the bent portion 111 is connected to the second end wall 1124 of the bent extension portion 112, thereby reducing the arrangement space occupied by the elastic member 11 while changing the extending direction of the elastic member 11.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 3, the number of bending portions 111 is at least two, and at least two bending portions 111 are respectively connected to two ends of one bending extension portion 112. As shown in fig. 5, one end of one bending part 111 of at least two bending parts is connected with the first shell 3 in a bending way, and the other end of the bending part is matched with the first shell 3 to form a containing space 32; the other bend 111 of the at least two is adapted to enclose a portion of the socket 13. At least a portion of the bending extension 112 and at least a portion of the second bending portion 1112 are located in the accommodating space 32.

Of the at least two bending portions 111, there are two bending portions 111 connected to both ends of the same bending extension portion 112, and for convenience of explanation, the two bending portions 111 are defined as a first bending portion 1111 and a second bending portion 1112, respectively, in the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the first bending portion 1111 and the second bending portion 1112 are connected to both ends of the same bending extension 112.

The first bending portion 1111 is used for being connected with the connecting portion 31 of the first housing 3 in a bending manner and is matched with the connecting portion 31, and a containing space 32 is defined between the first bending portion 1111 and the connecting portion 31, and the containing space 32 contains other bending portions 111, so that the elastic member 11 occupies only a small arrangement space on the first housing 3, and the structure is compact.

The second bent portion 1112 is closer to the stopper 12 than the first bent portion 1111, so that a socket 13 is formed between the second bent portion 1112 and the stopper 12. The second bending portion 1112 is disposed at a distance from the connecting portion 31. Optionally, the free end of the second bending portion 1112 is suspended.

Alternatively, in the case where the elastic member 11 includes more bending portions 111, the bending portion 111 for forming one end of the elastic member 11 is used to connect with the connecting portion 31 of the first housing 3, and a receiving space 32 is formed between the connecting portion 31 of the first housing 3, and at least a portion of the other bending portions 111 is located in the receiving space 32; the bent portion 111 for forming the other end of the elastic member 11 serves to enclose a part of the socket 13.

In some embodiments of the present application, at least two folds 111 are spaced apart from each other, and at least two folds 111 each have an overlap region 14 between orthographic projections on the connection 31.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5-7, the first and second bends 1111, 1112 are spaced apart and there is an overlap region 14 between the first orthographic projection of the first bend 1111 and the second orthographic projection of the second bend 1112. The first orthographic projection is an orthographic projection of the first bending portion 1111 on the connecting portion 31, and the second orthographic projection is an orthographic projection of the second bending portion 1112 on the connecting portion 31.

Optionally, the first connecting portion 31 is a plate, and the projection plane of the first orthographic projection and the second orthographic projection is a plane of the plate surface of the connecting portion 31. Fig. 7 shows a top view of the first housing 3 and the latch assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present application, and the projection plane is parallel to the paper surface under the view angle of fig. 7. The area surrounded by the dashed line in fig. 7 is the overlapping area 14 of the first orthographic projection and the second bending portion 1112.

However, in the present embodiment, the first bending portion 1111 and the second bending portion 1112 are not in contact, as shown in fig. 6, and a gap is provided between the first bending portion 1111 and the second bending portion 1112, so that it is ensured that when the second bending portion 1112 elastically abuts against the lock block assembly 2, the abutting force from the lock block assembly 2 can be transmitted in the extending direction of the elastic member, that is, in the reverse order of the connection order, from the second bending portion 1112 to the first bending portion 1111 in order. The elastic piece 11 adopting the design has a longer force arm, and the force arm can obviously improve the forward force of the elastic piece 11 through bending for many times, so that the yield level of the elastic piece 11 is effectively reduced, and the elastic piece 11 is prevented from plastic deformation or fracture.

In some embodiments of the present application, the stopper 12 and one of the at least two folds 111 are disposed directly opposite; and/or the stopper 12 and the other one 111 of the at least two bent portions 111 are disposed opposite to each other.

In this embodiment, the two parts are disposed opposite to each other, which means that, in the two parts, the orthographic projection of one part on the projection plane is located entirely within the orthographic projection of the other part on the projection plane, wherein the projection plane is perpendicular to the perpendicular line between the two parts.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the stopper 12 and the first bent portion 1111 are disposed opposite to each other, and the stopper 12 and the second bent portion 1112 are disposed offset from each other. Wherein the offset arrangement means that the centerline of the stopper 12 and the centerline of the second bending portion 1112 do not coincide.

In the latch assembly 1 shown in fig. 5 and 7, the stopper 12 and the second single-fold piece are each elastically abutted with the lock block assembly 2 located in the socket 13, thereby exerting a sufficient locking force on the lock block assembly 2; moreover, the stop piece 12 and the first bending part 1111 are opposite to each other, so that the stress of the locking piece assembly 2 positioned in the socket 13 is balanced relatively, and the locking piece assembly is not easy to skew.

In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic member 11 is integrally connected with the first housing 3; and/or the stopper 12 is integrally connected with the first housing 3.

As shown in fig. 5, the elastic member 11 and the stopper 12 are integrally connected with the first housing 3 to secure sufficient structural strength. Illustratively, one elastic member 11 is obtained by a cutting process at one side of the connection portion 31 of the first housing 3, the elastic member 11 is bent with respect to the connection portion 31 and is bent by itself a plurality of times to form a shape as shown in fig. 5, thereby effectively improving the forward force of the elastic member 11 and reducing the yield level of the elastic member 11; the stopper 12 is formed by bending the other side of the connecting portion 31.

In the connector provided by the embodiment of the application, when the lock catch assembly 1 and the lock block assembly 2 in the plugging fit state need to be separated from each other, the lock block assembly 2 can be forced to push the elastic piece 11 to elastically deform, as shown in fig. 8, the thrust exerted by the lock block assembly 2 is transmitted along the extending direction of the arm of the elastic piece 11, and is attenuated in sequence at each bending position, and finally, only small elastic deformation is generated at the joint of the elastic piece 11 and the connecting part 31, so that the yield of the elastic piece is effectively reduced.

In summary, in the connector provided by the embodiment of the present application, since the lock catch assembly 1 and the locking piece assembly 2 are respectively connected to the male end assembly and the female end assembly, the locking piece assembly 2 is inserted into the socket 13 on the lock catch assembly 1 while the male end assembly and the female end assembly are in plug-in fit, and elastically abuts against the elastic member 11 and the stop member 12, so that the male end assembly and the female end assembly are locked in the plug-in fit state. Compared with the BTB connector in the related art, the locking force of the male end component and the female end component in the plugging and matching state is improved, and locking failure is not easy to occur, so that the connector has better connection reliability. In addition, in the connector provided by the embodiment of the application, since the elastic piece 11 is provided with a plurality of bends, the elastic piece 11 can provide a larger forward force, the yield level is obviously reduced, and plastic deformation or fracture is not easy to occur. Further, since the latch assembly 1 and the first housing 3 are integrally formed, assembly is facilitated.

The embodiment of the application also provides a connector, which comprises one of the lock catch assembly 1 and the lock block assembly 2, and a male end assembly.

When the connector comprises a locking block assembly, the locking block assembly 2 is connected with the male end assembly. Wherein, the locking block assembly 2 is used for being inserted into the socket 13 and elastically abutted with at least one of the elastic piece 11 and the stop piece 12.

It should be noted that: the connector provided in this embodiment is the same concept as the connector provided in the previous embodiment, but the present embodiment does not include a female end assembly. The specific structure of the male end assembly and the latch assembly 1 or the locking block assembly 2 connected with the male end assembly in the embodiment of the connector and other specific implementation manners can be seen in the foregoing embodiment of the connector, and will not be described herein again. In other words, the details described in the foregoing connector embodiment are equally applicable to the present connector embodiment, that is, the present embodiment includes all the features of the foregoing connector embodiment except the female end assembly without contradiction, only to avoid obscuring and not repeating all the description of the features in their entirety.

The embodiment of the application also provides a connector, which comprises one of the lock catch assembly 1 and the lock block assembly 2, and a female end assembly.
