Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft insertion, and in particular to an aircraft insertion clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of aerospace connectors, the installation and mating of SMA connectors (including single and bundled types) often faces numerous inconveniences: traditional tools are often incompatible with both bundled and single connectors, requiring frequent tool changes and severely impacting operational efficiency; for bundled connectors, existing tools have a small contact area with the sidewalls during clamping, making them prone to damage due to excessive localized force, and lack effective anti-slip structures, leading to slippage during rotation and difficulty in ensuring mating accuracy; for single SMA connectors, the clamping structure of traditional tools has poor compatibility with the connector's outer contour, making slippage during screwing and inconvenient to apply torque, increasing operational intensity; furthermore, the lack of a precise guiding structure when mating SMA male and female bundled connectors easily results in mis-mating of multiple connectors, and the locking structure after mating lacks stability, easily loosening due to vibration and other factors, severely affecting the reliability and long-term stability of the connection. These problems restrict the efficiency and quality of SMA connector-related operations, necessitating a dedicated fixture that can comprehensively solve these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air-insertion clamp that solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An aviation insertion clamp includes two quick-release wrenches and two SMA cluster connectors, wherein the two ends of the quick-release wrenches are respectively provided with a first operating end and a second operating end;

[0006] The operating end is used to screw on the SMA connector.

[0007] The SMA bundle connector integrates multiple SMA connectors.

[0008] The first operating end of the quick wrench can be adapted to an SMA cluster connector, and the second operating end of the quick wrench can be adapted to a single SMA connector.

[0009] Furthermore,

[0010] The first operating end of the quick wrench is located at the head of the quick wrench, which is arc-shaped and can fit against the outer side wall of the SMA bundle connector. The first operating end has a protrusion on the contact surface with the outer side wall of the SMA bundle connector.

[0011] Furthermore,

[0012] The second operating end is located at the tail of the handle of the quick wrench. The second operating end is a locking block that is perpendicular to the tail of the handle of the quick wrench and is in the same straight line as the handle. It is an arc-shaped locking structure that matches the outer contour of the SMA connector. The locking structure is an internal toothed groove or a polygonal limiting groove.

[0013] Furthermore,

[0014] The card block has a slot on the side opposite to the handle, and the slot is adapted to the SMA connector.

[0015] Furthermore,

[0016] The SMA cluster connector is divided into an SMA male cluster connector and an SMA female cluster connector. An integrated plate is installed inside the side wall of the SMA male cluster connector and the SMA female cluster connector. Multiple SMA connectors are evenly distributed on the integrated plate and correspond one-to-one when the SMA male cluster connector and the SMA female cluster connector are connected. Furthermore, grooves that are adapted to the protrusions of the first operating end of the quick wrench are opened on the outer side wall of the SMA male cluster connector and the SMA female cluster connector.

[0017] Furthermore,

[0018] The SMA bundle connector has a protruding ring along its edge on the integrated board in the direction the SMA connector port faces. Two locking pins are provided on the outer wall of the protruding ring, and the line connecting the two locking pins coincides with the diameter of the protruding ring.

[0019] Furthermore,

[0020] The integrated board of the SMA female bundle connector has a receiving groove near the side wall that can accommodate the protruding ring, and two opposing limiting holes that can accommodate the retaining pins are opened at the upper end of the side wall of the SMA female bundle connector.

[0021] Furthermore,

[0022] The opening direction of the limiting port is either clockwise or counterclockwise, and the limiting port is inclined towards the opening direction with the end tending to be horizontal.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] 1. This utility model, through the design of a quick wrench with dual operating ends, realizes the integrated operation of SMA cluster connectors and individual SMA connectors. The entire process of cluster docking and individual tightening can be completed without changing tools, which greatly improves the continuity of operation and work efficiency.

[0025] 2. The arc-shaped structure of the first operating end of the quick wrench can closely fit the side wall of the SMA cluster connector, increasing the contact area for stable clamping. The protrusions on the contact surface match the grooves on the outside of the cluster connector, which can enhance friction and prevent slippage during rotation. At the same time, it avoids excessive local force that could damage the connector, significantly improving the stability and reliability of the cluster connector mating operation. The design of the locking block and handle on the second operating end of the quick wrench is ergonomic, making it easy to apply torque and reduce the intensity of operation. Its arc-shaped groove matches the outer contour of the individual SMA connector, and the internal toothed or polygonal structure engages the connector through teeth or edges, which can effectively prevent slippage during screwing and ensure the accuracy and firmness of the operation of individual SMA connectors.

[0026] 3. The mating structure of the SMA male and female bundled connectors achieves initial guidance through the cooperation of the protruding ring and the receiving groove, ensuring that multiple SMA connectors on the integrated board correspond one-to-one and avoiding misconnection; the matching of the locking post and the limiting port, as well as the inclined guidance and horizontal locking design of the limiting port, can form a firm lock after rotation, preventing loosening due to vibration and other factors after mating, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the bundled connectors.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] See the example. Figures 1 to 2 :

[0036] An aviation insertion clamp includes two quick-release wrenches 1 and two SMA bundled connectors 2, wherein the two ends of the quick-release wrenches 1 are respectively provided with a first operating end 10 and a second operating end 11;

[0037] The operating end is used to screw on the SMA connector 3;

[0038] The SMA cluster connector 2 integrates multiple SMA connectors 3;

[0039] The first operating end 10 of the quick wrench 1 can be adapted to the SMA cluster connector 2, and the second operating end 11 of the quick wrench 1 can be adapted to a single SMA connector 3.

[0040] Furthermore,

[0041] The first operating end 10 of the quick wrench 1 is located at the head of the quick wrench 1 and is arc-shaped and can fit against the outer side wall 22 of the SMA bundle connector 2. The first operating end 10 is provided with a protrusion 101 on the contact surface with the outer side wall 22 of the SMA bundle connector 2.

[0042] The arc-shaped structure increases the contact area with the cluster connector, improves stability during operation, and avoids damage to the connector caused by excessive local force. The protrusion 101 can cooperate with the groove 24 on the outside of the cluster connector to enhance friction, prevent slippage during operation, and greatly improve the efficiency and reliability of screwing the cluster connector.

[0043] Furthermore,

[0044] The second operating end 11 is located at the tail of the handle of the quick wrench 1. The second operating end 11 is a locking block 110 that is perpendicular to the tail of the handle of the quick wrench 1 and is in the same straight line as the handle.

[0045] The design of the collinearity between the locking block 110 and the handle is ergonomic, making it easy to apply torque and reducing operational intensity; the arc-shaped locking structure and the fit with the outer contour of the individual SMA connector 3 ensure stable clamping of the connector; the internal toothed or polygonal structure can engage the connector through teeth or edges to prevent slippage during screwing, significantly improving the accuracy of operating the individual SMA connector 3.

[0046] Furthermore,

[0047] The locking block 110 has a locking groove 111 on the side facing away from the handle. The locking groove 111 has an arc shape that matches the outer contour of the SMA connector 3. The locking structure is an internal toothed locking groove 111 or a polygonal limiting groove 24.

[0048] The slot 111 increases the contact points with individual SMA connectors 3, and its adaptability design makes it compatible with individual SMA connectors 3 of different specifications, expanding the applicability of the clamp and enabling individual SMA connectors 3 to be tightened separately.

[0049] Furthermore,

[0050] The SMA cluster connector 2 is divided into an SMA male cluster connector 20 and an SMA female cluster connector 21. An integrated plate 23 is installed in the side wall 22 of the SMA male cluster connector 20 and the SMA female cluster connector 21. Multiple SMA connectors 3 are evenly distributed on the integrated plate 23 and correspond one-to-one when the SMA male cluster connector 20 and the SMA female cluster connector 21 are connected. A groove 24 is opened on the outer side of the side wall 22 of the SMA male cluster connector 20 and the SMA female cluster connector 21 to match the protrusion 101 of the first operating end 10 of the quick wrench 1.

[0051] The male and female classification clarifies the docking relationship, and the orderly arrangement on the integrated board 23 ensures that multiple connectors are accurately docked and avoids mis-connection; the groove 24 on the outer side of the side wall 22 cooperates with the protrusion 101 of the first operating end 10 to form a "concave-convex interlocking" structure, which makes the positioning of the quick wrench 1 more accurate when operating the cluster connector, prevents relative slippage, and provides a foundation for efficient screwing.

[0052] Furthermore,

[0053] The SMA bundle connector 20 has a protruding ring 201 along the edge of the integrated plate 23 in the direction of the SMA connector 3 connection port. Two locking pins 202 are provided on the outer wall 22 of the protruding ring 201, and the line connecting the two locking pins 202 coincides with the diameter of the protruding ring 201.

[0054] The protruding ring 201 provides physical guidance for docking with the female bundle connector, ensuring initial alignment of the male and female connectors; the two locking posts 202 are distributed along the diameter, with balanced force, and can cooperate with the limiting port 211 of the female connector to provide a force point for fixation after docking, avoiding damage to the connector due to misalignment during docking.

[0055] Furthermore,

[0056] The integrated plate 23 of the SMA female bundle connector 21 has a receiving groove 210 near the side wall 22 that can accommodate the protruding ring 201. The upper end of the side wall 22 of the SMA female bundle connector 21 has two opposing limiting ports 211 that can accommodate the retaining post 202.

[0057] The cooperation between the receiving groove 210 and the protruding ring 201 enables precise guidance during the docking of the male and female connectors, reducing alignment errors; the limiting port 211's function of accommodating the locking post 202 can limit the relative position of the male and female connectors in the initial stage of docking, preventing misalignment and providing a stable foundation for subsequent rotation locking.

[0058] Furthermore,

[0059] The opening direction of the limiting port 211 is either clockwise or counterclockwise, and the limiting port 211 is inclined towards the opening direction and tends to be horizontal at the end.

[0060] The uniform opening direction facilitates smooth movement of the locking post 202 along the direction of the limiting port 211 by rotating the male connector during operation; the inclined design guides the locking post 202 to slide in naturally, reducing docking resistance; the horizontal section at the end can stably lock the locking post 202, forming a firm lock, preventing loosening due to vibration and other factors after docking, and ensuring long-term stable operation of the cluster connector.

[0061] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0062] In use, the first step is to connect the SMA male bundle connector 20 and the SMA female bundle connector 21: using the first operating end 10 of the two quick wrenches 1, whose arc-shaped structure fits the outer side wall 22 of the male bundle connector and the female bundle connector, the protrusion 101 of the contact surface matches the groove 24 on the outer side of the bundle connector, which can enhance friction to prevent slippage and ensure stable clamping; during rotation, the protruding ring 201 of the male bundle connector enters the receiving groove 210 of the female bundle connector to achieve precise guidance, and the locking post 202 is correspondingly embedded in the limiting port 211 of the side wall 22 of the female bundle connector. As it rotates, the locking post 202 slides along the limiting port 211 in a uniform clockwise or counterclockwise tilting direction, and finally locks at the end horizontal section. With the tilting guidance of the limiting port 211 and the limiting effect of the horizontal section, the SMA male bundle connector 20 and the SMA female bundle connector 21 are firmly connected, and the multiple SMA connectors 3 on the integrated board 23 correspond one-to-one.

[0063] After completing the docking of the SMA male bundle connector 20 and the SMA female bundle connector 21, use the second operating end 11 of the quick wrench 1 to tighten each individual SMA connector 3 one by one. The arc-shaped structure of the internal tooth or polygonal groove 111 on the locking block 110 on the second operating end 11, which is in line with the handle, is adapted to the outer contour of the individual SMA connector 3. The connector is engaged by teeth or edges, and the collinear design makes it easy to apply torque. This not only prevents slippage during tightening, but also conforms to ergonomics to reduce the intensity of operation, thereby ensuring that each individual SMA connector 3 is firmly connected.

[0064] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
