In order to solve the technical problem that the connector is not accurate in plugging alignment and easy to damage in the prior art, the application provides a connector, wherein the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are close to each other to realize plugging fit when being accurately aligned; when the alignment of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 is inaccurate, the first connector 10 cannot extend out of the first fixing seat 30 to be plugged with the second connector 20, so that the problem that the connecting terminals and the connectors are easy to damage is effectively avoided.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, a connector according to an embodiment of the present application includes at least the following parts: the first connector 10, the second connector 20, the first fixing base 30 and the positioning locking assembly; one of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 is provided with a connection terminal, the other is provided with a connection hole, and the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are aligned and plugged with the connection hole through the connection terminal to realize the electrical connection of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20.

The positioning locking component is arranged in the first fixing seat 30 and is used for locking the first connector 10 in the first fixing seat 30, and if and only if the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are precisely aligned and relatively moved, the positioning locking component can be triggered to unlock the first connector 10, and the first connector 10 can extend out of the first fixing seat 30 to be aligned and spliced with the second connector 20; that is, the function of the positioning locking assembly is to lock the first connector 10 in the first fixing seat 30, and to be triggered to unlock the first connector 10 when the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are precisely aligned, that is, to play a role in positioning the connector for plugging. The connector provided by the application can effectively solve the problem that the connector is easy to damage due to inaccurate alignment of the connecting terminal and the connector during butt joint.

The locking positioning principle of the positioning locking assembly on the first connector 10 mainly consists in locking two sides of the first connector 10 respectively, only the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are aligned accurately, the positioning locking assembly can release the locking on two sides of the first connector 10 simultaneously, when the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are butted, the positioning locking assembly is deviated from any side, only one side of the first connector 10 is triggered to unlock the positioning locking assembly, and the first connector 10 only extends out of the first fixing seat 30 to be in plug-in fit with the second connector 20 when the two sides are unlocked simultaneously, and the locking and unlocking principle of the first connector 10 will be described below with reference to the specific structure of the positioning locking assembly. The above-mentioned positioning and locking assembly is mainly triggered by the second connector 20 when the second connector 20 moves towards the first connector 10, and the positioning and locking assembly can be triggered by other structures when the second connector 20 is mounted on other structures, and the principle of triggering the positioning and locking assembly will be described in different embodiments without being limited thereto. The electrical connection of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 referred to herein generally refers to electrical conduction of both, and may be signal conduction or both. The driving force of the first connector 10 automatically extending out of the first fixing base 30 after being unlocked by the positioning locking assembly may be an elastic force or a magnetic repulsive force, which will be described below with reference to the specific embodiment.

In addition, in order to facilitate the re-mating of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 after being separated, the positioning locking assembly of the connector provided by the preferred embodiment of the present application is further used to drive the first connector 10 to move away from the second connector 20 when the second connector 20 is separated from the first connector 10, so that the first connector 10 is retracted into the first fixing seat 30 under the driving of the positioning locking assembly, and is locked in the first fixing seat 30 by the positioning locking assembly, so as to facilitate the next plugging of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20. It will be appreciated that it is only a preferred embodiment of the present application to retract the first connector 10 into the first holder 30 by the positioning locking assembly, and in some other embodiments, the first connector 10 may be manually retracted into the first holder 30 to restore the positioning locking assembly to the locked state of the first connector 10, that is, to manually restore the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 to the state before the alignment and the plugging.

Referring to fig. 2 and 4, in the connector provided by the embodiment of the application, the first fixing seat 30 is provided with the mounting groove 301, the depth of the mounting groove 301 is greater than the dimension of the first connector 10 along the butting direction, that is, the first fixing seat 30 is a substantially concave frame structure, the positioning locking assembly adopts a pair of slide block mechanisms 50 respectively arranged at two sides of the notch of the mounting groove 301 of the first fixing seat 30, the slide block mechanisms 50 can slide oppositely and press and cover two sides of a connection end face of the first connector 10, the connection end face refers to a contact end face of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 after being oppositely inserted, and the connection end face of the first connector 10 is an upper end face as shown in the drawing. When the second connector 20 is aligned and plugged with the first connector 10, the second connector 20 contacts the slider mechanisms 50 pressed on two sides of the upper end surface of the first connector 10 through the connection end surface of the second connector 20, namely the lower end surface of the second connector 20, and under the action of external force such as gravity of electrical equipment and other butting driving forces, the second connector 20 presses the slider mechanisms 50, so that the pair of slider mechanisms 50 move away from each other, move away from the upper end surface of the first connector 10, and the first connector 10 automatically stretches out from the first fixing seat 30 after being contacted and locked, thereby realizing alignment and plugging with the second connector 20 and electrical conduction.

When the second connector 20 and the first connector 10 are not accurately aligned for plugging, that is, when the second connector 20 deviates from one side of the first connector 10, the second connector 20 can only remove the slider mechanism 50 pressed on one side of the upper end surface of the first connector 10 from above the first connector 10, and the slider mechanism 50 on the other side can only partially move and cannot be completely removed from the upper end surface of the first connector 10, the first connector 10 is still in a locked state and cannot extend out of the first fixing seat 30, the first connector 10 cannot be plugged with the second connector 20, and the whole damage of the connecting terminals and the connectors is avoided.

As an implementation manner of the foregoing embodiment, the first fixing base 30 is folded and extended at two sides of the notch of the mounting groove 301 to form a sliding table carrying the slider mechanism 50, the slider mechanism 50 is in a form of matching the slider body 501, the slider post 502 and the slider spring 503, where a side of the slider body 501 facing away from the upper end face of the first connector 10, that is, an upper side face of the slider body 501, is provided with a first inclined plane 505, two sides of a connecting end face of the second connector 20, that is, a lower end face as shown in the drawing, used for attaching the first connector 10 are provided with a third inclined plane 403, and an extending direction of the third inclined plane 403 is the same as an extending direction of the first inclined plane 505 of the slider body 501, so as to interact with the first inclined plane 505, and the slider body 501 at two sides of the notch of the mounting groove 301 is extruded to move in directions facing away from each other, thereby realizing unlocking of the first connector 10. When the second connector 20 is mounted on other structures, the third inclined surface 403 may be correspondingly formed on two sides of the end surface of the other structures, which is close to the first connector 10.

The sliding block column 502 is horizontally connected to one end of the sliding block body 501, the first fixing seat 30 is provided with a sliding hole matched with the sliding block column 502, the sliding block column 502 penetrates through the sliding hole to be slidably connected with the first fixing seat 30, one end of the sliding block column 502 penetrating out of the sliding hole is connected with the sliding block screw 504 to limit the sliding block screw so as to avoid slipping, the sliding block spring 503 is sleeved on the sliding block column 502, and the sliding block spring 503 is compressed and arranged between the sliding block body 501 and the side wall of the first fixing seat 30, so that the sliding block body 501 is driven to move in opposite directions and is pressed on the upper end face of the first connector 10, and locking of the first connector 10 is achieved. In this embodiment, the slider post 502 mainly plays two roles, one is a guiding role for sliding of the slider body 501, and the other is a role for transmitting the pressing force of pressing the first connector 10 to the slider body 501.

It should be understood that, for the slider mechanism 50 that the slider post 502 is fixedly connected to the first fixing seat 30 and the sliding hole is formed in the slider body 501, the application is also applicable, and it should be noted that a limiting mechanism should be further disposed between one end of the slider post 502 connected to the slider body 501 and the sliding hole, so as to prevent the slider body 501 from being separated from the slider post 502 under the driving of the slider spring 503, or a limiting mechanism should be disposed on the lower side surface of the slider body 501 and the sliding fit end surface of the sliding table, so as to prevent the slider body 501 from being separated from the sliding connection with the slider post 502.

In some embodiments, the slider mechanism 50 may omit the slider post 502, and at this time, a slide rail needs to be disposed on the sliding fit end surface of the slider body 501 and the sliding table to replace the function of the slider post 502, and the lower side surface of the slider body 501 is limited on the slide rail to realize sliding along the slide rail, and at this time, the slide rail plays a role in guiding the sliding of the slider body 501 and transmitting the pressure of the slider body 501 pressed on the first connector 10. The slider spring 503 is still compressed between the side wall of the first fixing seat 30 and the slider body 501, and at this time, the slider body 501 and the first fixing seat 30 are used for attaching to the end surface of the slider spring 503, and a positioning groove for positioning the slider spring 503 is formed or a positioning protrusion adapted to the slider spring 503 is formed as required.

Further, in order to enable the positioning locking assembly to drive the first connector 10 to retract the first fixing base 30 and lock the first connector 10 in the first fixing base 30, the slider mechanism 50 is used for quickly pressing and fixing the first connector 10 in the first fixing base 30 after the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are separated, a second inclined surface 506 is arranged on one side, close to the first connector 10, of the slider body 501, and a fourth inclined surface 104 which is in sliding fit with the second inclined surface 506 is arranged on two sides of a connecting end face, namely, the illustrated upper end face, of the first connector 10. When the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are in aligned plugging, the second connector 20 presses the first inclined surface 505 of the slide block body 501 through the third inclined surface 403, the pair of slide block bodies 501 move away from each other, the pressing locking of the first connector 10 is released, and the first connector 10 automatically extends out of the first fixing seat 30 to be plugged and electrically conducted with the second connector 20; when the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are separated from each other, the pressing limit of the third inclined surface 403 is released, the slider body 501 is driven by the slider spring 503 to move towards each other, the fourth inclined surface 104 on both sides of the first connector 10 is pressed by the second inclined surface 506, the first connector 10 is pressed back and locked in the mounting groove 301 of the first fixing seat 30, that is, the component force acting on the downward movement of the first connector 10, generated by the elastic force of the slider spring 503 pushing the slider body 501 to reset towards each other through the second inclined surface 506 and the fourth inclined surface 104, is greater than the driving force for automatically extending the first connector 10.

In some embodiments, the first connector 10 is automatically extended out of the first fixing base 30 by using an elastic force. Referring to fig. 2 and 4, a first positioning hole is formed in the bottom of the mounting groove 301 by the first fixing seat 30 in a penetrating manner, a first positioning column 101 is arranged on the lower end surface of the first connector 10, which is close to the bottom of the mounting groove 301, in an extending manner along the direction away from the connecting end of the first connector, the first positioning column 101 penetrates through the first positioning hole and is in sliding fit with the first positioning hole, a first spring 102 is sleeved on the periphery of the first positioning column 101, and the first spring 102 is arranged in a compressed manner and is respectively abutted against the bottom of the mounting groove 301 and the first connector 10. The elastic force of the first spring 102 drives the first connector 10 to automatically extend out of the first fixing seat 30 to realize plugging and electrical conduction with the second connector 20 after being unlocked by the positioning locking assembly, that is, the elastic force provided by the first spring 102 for driving the first connector 10 to extend out of the first fixing seat 30 is larger than plugging resistance of plugging the first connector 10 and the second connector 20. In this embodiment, the first positioning hole, the first positioning post 101 and the first spring 102 are respectively and correspondingly provided with two groups, and meanwhile, one end of the first positioning post 101 extending out of the first fixing seat 30 through the first positioning hole is further connected with a first screw 103, and the first screw 103 is utilized to limit the first positioning post 101, so that the first positioning post 101 is prevented from being separated from the first positioning hole.

Obviously, the first positioning column 101 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting groove 301, the first positioning hole is arranged at the first connector 10, so that the same technical effect can be achieved, and a limit structure for preventing the first positioning hole from being separated from the first positioning hole needs to be arranged at one end of the first positioning column 101 connected with the first connector 10.

The above-described embodiment describes the docking principle of the connector according to the present application, using the elastic force generated by the first spring 102 as the driving force for driving the first connector 10 to automatically extend out of the first fixing base 30. In other embodiments, the magnetic repulsion force may be used to drive the first connector 10 to automatically extend out of the first fixing base 30, and the specific structure and principle are as follows: the bottom of the installation groove 301 is fixedly provided with a first magnet, the lower end surface of the first connector 10, which is close to the bottom of the installation groove 301, is fixedly provided with a second magnet, and the first magnet and the second magnet are oppositely arranged with the same-name magnetic poles, so that the first connector 10 is driven to automatically extend by the magnetic repulsive force generated by the first magnet and the second magnet. It should be appreciated that other means of driving the first connector 10 to automatically extend out of the first holder 30 after being unlocked are equally applicable to the present application.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in a further embodiment, the connector further includes a second fixing base 40 for mounting the second connector 20, where the second fixing base 40 simultaneously serves to unlock the first connector 10 from the first fixing base 30 when the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are plugged in alignment. Correspondingly, the second fixing seat 40 is provided with a clearance groove, the clearance groove is penetrated downwards, the second connector 20 is connected with the clearance groove in a sliding manner, and the second fixing seat 40 is provided with a sliding driving piece for driving the connecting end face of the second connector 20 to slide to be flush with the notch end face of the clearance groove. In this way, when the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are not precisely aligned for plugging, the first connector 10 cannot extend out of the first fixing seat 30, and when a portion of the first fixing seat 30 acts on the second connector 20, the second connector 20 can slide back along the avoidance slot, so as to avoid damage to the second connector 20. It should be noted that the driving force of the slide driving member to drive the connection end face of the second connector 20 flush with the notch end face of the clearance groove is larger than the insertion resistance when the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are inserted in alignment.

In some embodiments, the sliding driving member is a second spring 402, the second connector 20 is provided with a second positioning hole, at this time, a second positioning column 401 is further disposed between the second fixing seat 40 and the second connector 20, one end of the second positioning column 401 is fixed to the second fixing seat 40, meanwhile, the second positioning column 401 passes through the second positioning hole and is slidably connected with the second connector 20, the second spring 402 is sleeved on the periphery of the second positioning column 401, one end of the second spring 402 abuts against the end of the second positioning column 401 away from the second fixing seat 40, the other end abuts against and drives the second connector 20, and the second positioning column 401 can specifically adopt a tapping screw with a predetermined length.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6 in combination, in contrast to the slider mechanism 50 described above, another embodiment of the present application provides a detent assembly that employs a detent lever assembly 60 and an unlocking lever 70 that cooperates with the detent lever assembly 60. The locking lever assemblies 60 are provided on two inner side walls opposite to the mounting groove 301, and a pair of locking lever assemblies 60 can extend toward each other and abut against both sides of the first connector 10 to lock the first connector 10 in the mounting groove 301. The unlocking lever 70 is generally vertically disposed, the top end of the unlocking lever extends and protrudes from the upper end surface of the first fixing base 30, that is, the notch end surface of the mounting groove 301, and the bottom end of the unlocking lever extends to the locking lever assembly 60 and is used for driving the locking lever assembly 60 to move in directions deviating from each other, so that the locking lever assembly 60 is separated from the abutment against the side surface of the first connector 10, and the second connector 20 is unlocked from the locking state, so that the first fixing base 30 can be automatically extended.

In this embodiment, two sets of unlocking rods 70 are disposed corresponding to the locking rod assemblies 60, when the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are plugged in a aligned manner, the lower end face of the second connector 20 or the second fixing seat 40 for mounting the second connector 20 is just pressed down simultaneously to unlock the two sets of unlocking rods 70, the two sets of unlocking rods 70 move down to trigger the locking rod assemblies 60 on two sides of the mounting groove 301 to synchronously move away from each other, two sides of the first connector 10 are unlocked, and the first connector 10 can automatically extend out of the first fixing seat 30 to be in butt joint with the second connector 20 to realize electrical conduction.
