Abstract

A ground wire spacer structure of a connector, including two groups of connector monoblocks that are symmetrical and spliced, wherein any group of the connector monoblocks include a housing provided with: a plurality of groups of elastic pieces, wherein one end of the elastic piece is connected to a female socket of the connector, and the other end of the elastic piece is connected to a wire group of the connector; a plurality of metal spacers distributed between two adjacent groups of the elastic pieces and used to separate the elastic pieces; and a conductive sheet mounted on the housing, wherein the conductive sheet is abutted against the plurality of spacers, the conductive sheet is connected to a ground wire in the wire group, and the metal spacers and the conductive sheet form a plurality of independent spaces for accommodating the elastic pieces respectively.

Claims (14)

1 . A ground wire spacer structure of a connector, comprising two groups of connector monoblocks that are symmetrical and spliced, wherein any group of the connector monoblocks comprise a housing, and the housing is provided with:

a plurality of groups of elastic pieces, wherein one end of the elastic piece is connected to a female socket of the connector, and the other end of the elastic piece is connected to a wire group of the connector;

a plurality of metal spacers, wherein the metal spacers are distributed between two adjacent groups of the elastic pieces and are used to separate the elastic pieces; and

a conductive sheet mounted on the housing, wherein the conductive sheet is abutted against the plurality of spacers, the conductive sheet is connected to a ground wire in the wire group, and the metal spacers and the conductive sheet form a plurality of independent spaces for accommodating the plurality of groups of the elastic pieces respectively;

wherein the female socket is provided with a plurality of female socket spacers docked with the metal spacers and a plurality of partition plates for inserting the metal spacers, and each partition plate is provided with a slot for inserting the metal spacer;

one end of each metal spacer to be inserted into the slot is provided with a first inclined guide surface, one end of each female socket spacer is provided with a second inclined guide surface corresponding to the first inclined guide surface; when each metal spacer is inserted in place in the slot, the second inclined guide surface abuts the first inclined guide surface.

2 . The ground wire spacer structure of the connector according to claim 1 , wherein the metal spacer is provided as a structure made of a copper or stainless steel material.

3 . The ground wire spacer structure of the connector according to claim 2 , wherein the housing is provided as a plastic housing, and the housing and the elastic piece are provided as a one-piece injection molded structure.

4 . The ground wire spacer structure of the connector according to claim 1 , wherein two positioning lugs are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the conductive sheet, and the housing is provided with positioning and clamping holes for clamping with the positioning lugs.

5 . The ground wire spacer structure of the connector according to claim 1 , wherein the slot has a width greater than a thickness of the metal spacer, such that the slot provides a space configured to allow the end of each metal spacer to move along a width direction of the slot through a relative sliding movement between the first inclined guide surface and the second inclined guide surface.

6 . The ground wire spacer structure of the connector according to claim 1 , wherein any of the connector monoblocks is provided with a positioning post and a positioning hole for being spliced with another connector monoblock.

7 . The ground wire spacer structure of the connector according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of partition plates are perpendicular to the plurality of female socket spacers and the metal spacers.

8 . The ground wire spacer structure of the connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first inclined guide surface is in sliding contact with the second inclined guide surface.

9 . The ground wire spacer structure of the connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first inclined guide surface and the second inclined guide surface are both flat surfaces.
