DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(7) The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following detailed description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

(8) The foregoing and other aspects, features, and utilities of the present invention will be best understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

(9) Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the present invention discloses a connector fixing structure, which comprises a transmission plug 1 and an adapter plug 2.

(10) The transmission plug 1 has a transmission line 11 set at one end thereof, a first plug 12 set at the other end thereof, and at least one first magnetic element 13 set at the periphery of the first plug 12 as shown in FIG. 5. And, the transmission plug 1 has a guide slot 14 set at least one side thereof and a positioning groove 15 set on the bottom surface thereof; wherein the guide slot 14 and the positioning groove 15 are adjacent to the first plug 12. And, the transmission plug 1 has at least one positioning hole 16 set at the periphery of the first plug 12 thereof. The first plug 12 can be a Micro HDMI plug or a plug with other Micro specification.

(11) The adapter plug 2 is used to combine with the transmission plug 1. A second plug 21 is set at one end of the adapter plug 2 and a connection section 22 is recessedly set at the other end. The adapter plug 2 has a signal jack 23, at least one second magnetic element 24, a protruding block 25, and a resilient piece 26 respectively set at the positions of the connection section 22; wherein the signal jack 23 and the first plug 12 are mutually corresponded and insertedly connected electrically. The second magnetic element 24 and the first magnetic element 13 are mutually corresponded and adsorbed each other. The protruding block 25 and the guide slot 14 are mutually corresponded and combined with each other. The resilient piece 26 and the positioning groove 15 are mutually corresponded and engagedly set with each other. The resilient piece 26 is bent toward the positioning groove 15 to form a bending section, so that the resilient piece 26 can be engaged and positioned in the positioning groove 15. The adapter plug 2 has at least one positioning pin 20 set at the position of the connection section 22; wherein the positioning pin 20 and the positioning hole 16 of the transmission plug 1 are mutually corresponded and engaged.

(12) The second plug 21 can be a Micro HDMI plug or a plug with other non-Micro specification. The second plug 21 can be an HDMI plug or other plug, so that the first plug 12 and the second plug 21 can have different sizes.

(13) One characteristic of the present invention is that: the transmission plug 1 is respectively set with the first plug 12, the first magnetic element 13, the guide slot 14, and the positioning groove 15; and the adapter plug 2 are respectively set with the signal jack 23, the second magnetic element 24, the protruding block 25, and the resilient piece 26 at the positions of the connection section 22. When the transmission plug 1 and the adapter plug 2 are combined, the first plug 12 set in the transmission plug 1 and the signal jack 23 of the adapter plug 2 can be mutually insertedly and electrically connected to make the first plug 12 and the second plug 21 electrically connected. And, the first magnetic element 13 and the second magnetic element 24 can be mutually adsorbed, the protruding block 25 can be combined with the guide slot 14, and the positioning groove 15 can be mutually engaged with the resilient piece 26. Then, the positioning hole 16 and the positioning pin 20 can be engaged with each other to achieve the effect that the transmission plug 1 and the adapter plug 2 have the multi-point stable combination.

(14) Therefore, the transmission line 11 of the transmission plug 1 may be an optical fiber signal transmission line, so that the optical fiber signal can be transmitted stably through the comprehensive and stable multi-point connection ability.

(15) At the same time, the first plug 12 of the transmission plug 1 can be connected to the jacks of different sizes through the second plug 21 of the adapter plug 2.

(16) In addition, the adapter plug 2 can further set at least one locking hole 27 on the bottom surface of the connection section 22 to mutually locked with a preset locking element 3.

(17) When the transmission plug 1 and the adapter plug 2 are combined, the locking element 3 can further penetrates the locking hole 27 to presses the bottom of the transmission plug 1 tightly, so the further stable connection of the transmission plug 1 and the adapter plug 2 is achieved.

(18) Furthermore, the adapter plug 2 may be thither set with an anti-skid section 28 on its side to increase the holding friction of the side of the adapter plug 2, wherein the anti-skid section 28 may be a groove or a convex portion arranged in intervals.

(19) Furthermore, the adapter plug 2 can further extendingly set a baffle plate 29 on the top of the connection section 22. When the transmission plug 1 is in the position of the connection section 22, the transmission plug 1 can be baffled by the baffle plate 29 and the bottom surface of the connection section 22 to further achieve the stable connection of the transmission plug 1 and the adapter plug 2. In addition, the baffle of the baffle plate 29 can be used to cancel the induced reaction stress when the locking element 3 is forced against the bottom of the transmission plug 1, and so as to ensure that the first plug 12 of the transmission plug 1 can be firmly inserted into the signal jack 23 of the adaptor plug 2.
