Optionally, one end that is of the female socket spacer and that is docked with the metal spacer is provided with a second inclined guide surface corresponding to the first inclined guide surface.
Optionally, the slot has a width greater than that of the metal spacer.

This embodiment improves the structure of the existing connector in that the connector adopts a structural design of two spliced monoblocks, elastic pieces 12 of any connector monoblock 1 are separated by a metal spacer 13, and a conductive sheet 14 is added, such that the metal spacers 13 and the conductive sheet 14 constitute a plurality of independent regions with a group of elastic pieces 12 contained in each region; and meanwhile, the conductive sheet 14 is connected to a ground wire, such that the conductive sheet 14 is conducted with the ground wire in use, and each of the regions forms a closed space for separating the elastic pieces 12, which effectively avoids signal dispersion on the elastic pieces 12, and therefore solves the problem of signal interference between adjacent elastic pieces 12, improving the stability of signal transmission.
Further, the metal spacer 13 is provided as a structure made of a copper or stainless steel material to facilitate conduction of the spacer, the conductive sheet 14 and the ground wire of the wires, and a closed space is formed for separating the elastic pieces 12 to avoid signal dispersion from causing signal interference.
Further, the housing 11 is provided as a plastic housing 11 to ensure the insulating property of the housing 11 and improve the use safety, and the housing 11 and the elastic piece 12 are provided as a one-piece injection molded structure, which realizes a simplified manufacturing process, an improved production efficiency, and a reduced cost. Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 11 and the plurality of metal spacers 13 are injection molded into a one-piece structure, the wire is then mounted in the housing 11, and the conductive sheet 14 is mounted on one side that is of the housing 11 and that is for docking, such that the housing 11 is abutted against each of the metal spacers 13 while being connected to the ground wire; in order to prevent the conductive sheet 14 from not being mounted in place and thus affecting the formation of the closed space, in this embodiment, two positioning lugs 141 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the conductive sheet 14, and the housing 11 is provided with positioning and clamping holes 111 for clamping with the positioning lugs 141, such that when the conductive sheet 14 is mounted, the two positioning lugs 141 are respectively clamped into the positioning and clamping holes 111 of the housing 11, to position the positioning lugs and prevent them from displacement, and the two connector monoblocks 1 are then spliced together to constitute a complete connector.
Further, referring to
It should be noted that, in order to connect the elastic piece 12 of the connector to the female socket 2, one end of the elastic piece 12 extends outside the closed space. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the entire elastic piece 12 to be within the closed space after the connector is inserted into the female socket 2, the partition plate 22 and the female socket spacer 21 are added on the metal socket 2 to be docked with the metal spacer 13 of the connector, such that the metal spacer 13 of the connector is docked with the female socket spacer 21 to form the complete closed space in which the elastic piece 12 is totally contained, which further improves the ability to prevent signal dispersion and avoid signal interference.
Further, one end that is of the metal spacer 13 and that is used to be inserted into the slot 23 is provided with a first inclined guide surface 131. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the metal spacer 13 to be smoothly inserted into the slot 23 and to be docked with the female socket spacer 21, the first inclined guide surface 131 is provided at the end of the metal spacer 13, such that the metal spacer 13 is guided during the process of being inserted into the slot 23, to prevent the metal spacer 13 from interfering or clamping with the partition plate 22 and thus affecting the insertion of the metal spacer 13 into the slot.
Further, if one end of the female socket spacer 21 is a flat surface, when individual metal spacers 13 of the connector are different in length due to machining or mounting errors, after the connector is inserted into the female socket 2, the shorter metal spacer 13 may fail to contact the end of the female socket spacer 21, such that the closed space cannot be formed, and signal dispersion occurs to cause signal interference. As such, in this embodiment, one end that is of the female socket spacer 21 and that is docked with the metal spacer 13 is provided with a second inclined guide surface 211 corresponding to the first inclined guide surface 131, and when a front end of the metal spacer 13 contacts the end of the female socket spacer 21, since the two inclined guide surfaces correspond to each other, a space for continuously inserting the metal spacer 13 can be provided, such that the irremovable space in the metal spacer 13 caused by errors is offset, each metal spacer 13 can contact a female socket spacer 21, and signal interference caused by signal dispersion is prevented.
Further, the slot 23 has a width greater than that of the metal spacer 13. Since it is required between the first inclined guide surface 131 and the second inclined guide surface 211 to enable a relative staggered movement between the metal spacer 13 and the female socket spacer 21, in this embodiment, in order to enable the metal spacer 13 to smoothly move a certain distance in a staggered mode, the width of the slot 23 is set to be greater than that of the metal spacer 13, such that a staggering space is left for the metal spacer 13 to facilitate docking of the metal spacer 13 and the female socket spacer 21.
Further, any of the connector monoblocks 1 is provided with a positioning post 15 and a positioning hole 16 for being spliced with another connector monoblock 1, such that the connector monoblock 1 is positioned by the positioning post 15 and the positioning hole 16 when being spliced, which ensures the tightness and precision of the structure.
