Floating connector

Abstract

A floating connector includes a connector and a floating device. The connector is fixed on the upper end face of the floating device by a locking assembly. The floating device includes a floating plate, a mounting plate and floating screws. The floating screw is fixed on the mounting plate, and the floating plate is limited on the mounting plate by the floating screws. The floating device also includes a floating sleeve, an opposite-jacking wave spring and positioning screws. The opposite-jacking wave spring is mounted in a counter bore of the mounting plate. A cylinder 1 at the lower end of the mounting plate compresses the top wave spring and is then installed in the floating sleeve and limited by the positioning screws. The connector can float largely in the X, Y and Z directions in a 'T'-shaped mounting space, and can meet special installation and use requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a floating connector. Background technique [0002] In various electronic systems, electrical connectors are the link to realize the electrical connection between various devices or systems, and are the basic components necessary to form a complete system. However, in the actual application process, the equipment that fixes the plug and the socket is often displaced due to processing errors or matching errors, which leads to the inability of the connectors to be mated accurately or in place, and eventually leads to damage to the connectors or failure to achieve reliable electrical contact. . [0003] In order to solve the above problems, a large number of floating connectors that can realize floating in X, Y, and Z directions at the same time are widely used at present, while the existing circular floating connectors generally use connectors to be installed into the floating ...

Problems solved by technology

However, in the actual application process, the equipment that fixes the plug and the socket is often displaced due to processing errors or matching errors, which leads to the inability of the connectors to be mated accurately or in place, and eventually leads to damage to the connectors or failure to achieve reliable electrical contact.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, a large number of floating connectors that can realize floating in X, Y, and Z directions at the same time are widely used at present, while the existing circular floating connectors generally use connectors to be installed into the floating limit inside the floating device, and the overall structure is relatively large , and the floating form is only suitable for circular, square or relatively regular installation spaces. In installation spaces with large differences in length and width or other special-shaped installation spaces, such as "T"-shaped installation spaces, the existing circular floating connectors are limited by their shape , unable to achieve large floating in the X and Y directions, the utilization rate of the structural space is low, and the application is limited
