[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical connection technology, specifically to an assembly connector. Background Technology
[0002] Connectors are ubiquitous in daily life, playing a vital role in various scenarios to ensure the connection and fixation between different splicing components. In related technologies, the tightness between connectors and splicing components is not adjustable. If the connection between connectors and splicing components is too loose, it will lead to poor connection stability between the splicing components and connectors; if the connection between connectors and splicing components is too tight, it will cause difficulties in disassembling and assembling the splicing components.
[0003] In a prior patent application, the applicant designed a simple and stable connection device, comprising: a connector, an assembly, and a drive member. The connector has an installation cavity and an opening that communicate with each other. The installation cavity extends through the connector along its length. The opening extends along one side of the connector and along its width. The assembly is disposed within the opening and is rotatable relative to the connector between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the assembly is located within the opening. In the second position, at least a portion of the assembly is located outside the opening. The drive member is disposed within the installation cavity and is movable along the length of the connector between a third position and a fourth position.
[0004] However, the assembly in this patent application has a slightly complex structure, including a first plate, a second plate, and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through the opening, and the first and second plates are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft. In the first position, both the first and second plates are located within the opening. This assembly has many parts and high assembly requirements, which is not advantageous in terms of manufacturing and processing. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the window is disposed on the surface of the body that simultaneously contacts at least two splicing pieces; and / or, the window is disposed on two opposite surfaces of the body.
[0008] Specifically, the occupant is a double dovetail elastomer, and the neck of the occupant is connected to the body; when the driven member abuts against the occupant, it preferentially contacts the two ends of the occupant, causing the two ends to elastically deform and rotate toward each other around the neck, thus exposing at least part of the window.
[0009] Specifically, the double dovetail elastomer is made of rubber, resin or metal; the driven component is a rubber block, plastic block or metal block.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a spacer metal sheet and a fixing component disposed within the body, wherein the spacer metal sheet is disposed between the driven component and the occupying component; the fixing component is connected to the body and fixes one end or the middle of the spacer metal sheet.
[0011] Specifically, the main body has a first shaft hole along the direction of insertion of the splicing component, the neck of the occupant component has a second shaft hole, and a pivot is provided to pass through the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole in sequence to realize the connection between the neck of the occupant component and the main body.
[0012] Specifically, the main body is a double-swallowtail block shape with two opposing inner folded surfaces; the main body is composed of two halves spliced together, each half having a complete inner folded surface, and the window is set on the inner folded surface; the inner folded surface of the occupier matches and corresponds to the inner folded surface of the half.
[0013] Furthermore, each half has at least two windows on its inner folded surface, and the at least two windows on the same inner folded surface are arranged along the direction in which the splicing piece is inserted, with the occupant component corresponding to each window.

[0015] Specifically, the driving component is a screw, with its screw head located outside the mounting hole and its shaft placed inside the body and threadedly matched with the driven component. The driven component moves along the axial direction of the screw as the screw rotates. The driven component is a wedge-shaped block, with its large-scale end facing the first position and its small-scale end facing the second position.
[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a protective shell, which covers two opposite surfaces of the body in the direction in which the splice is inserted.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. The spacer component of this utility model is integrally molded, which has a simple structure and is easy to produce, process and assemble, greatly reducing the difficulty and cost of production and processing; moreover, the integrally molded structure is stable, which makes the connection effect of the splicing parts of this utility model more stable, which is more advantageous than the connectors of the prior art and has a better market prospect.
[0019] 2. The spacer component of this utility model is a double dovetail elastomer, which has stable elastic deformation performance.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, the technical solutions and advantages of the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Any mechanisms or methods not elaborated in this utility model can be referred to in the prior art. The specific structures and features of this utility model are illustrated below by way of example and should not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Furthermore, any technical feature mentioned below (including implicit or disclosed features), as well as any technical feature directly shown or implied in the figures, can be arbitrarily combined or deleted among these technical features to form more other embodiments that may not be directly or indirectly mentioned in this utility model. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
[0037] This utility model discloses an assembly connector for use between at least two splicing components. The assembly connector includes a body, a driving component, a driven component, and an integrally formed spacer component. The body has a mounting hole on at least one side in the direction of insertion into the splicing component, and a window on at least one side in contact with the splicing component. The mounting hole and the window communicate with the inner cavity of the body. The driven component and the spacer component are placed in the inner cavity. The driving component is movably connected to the mounting hole and drively connected to the driven component. When the driving component moves the driven component from a first position to a second position, the driven component abuts against the spacer component, resulting in elastic deformation, displacement, and / or rotation. This causes the spacer component to change from being completely embedded within the body to being at least partially exposed through the window. The exposed portion of the spacer component fills the gap between the assembly connector and the splicing component. The specific structure is illustrated below through embodiments.
[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the assembly connector 100 of this embodiment includes a body 10, a driving component 20, a driven component 30, a spacer metal sheet 40 and its fixing component 48, an integrally formed occupant component 50, and a protective shell 60.
[0039] Specifically, the body 10 is a double dovetail block shape with two opposing inward folded surfaces. Preferably, in this embodiment, the body 10 is composed of two halves 12 spliced together, each half 12 having a complete inward folded surface, forming an internal cavity after the two halves 12 are joined. The body 10 serves as the main structure of the assembly connector 100, directly contacting and essentially matching the shape of the splicing component 200. The body 10 has a double dovetail structure, and the two splicing components 200 are respectively provided with dovetail grooves on their splicing surfaces. When the two splicing components 200 are joined together, the two dovetail grooves are joined together. In this embodiment, the assembly connector 100 is simultaneously inserted into the dovetail grooves of the two splicing components 200 in a direction perpendicular to the cross-section of the double dovetail shape, thereby achieving the connection of the two splicing components 200. Thus, the outer contour of the body 10 can be determined to include two opposing surfaces in the direction of insertion of the splicing piece 200, which are double dovetail shapes; two opposing surfaces that simultaneously contact the two splicing pieces 200, which are inward folded surfaces; and two opposing surfaces that only contact any one of the splicing pieces 200.
[0040] The main body 10 has two mounting holes 123, four windows 124, four first shaft holes 125, and two pivots 126. The mounting holes 123 and windows 124 communicate with the inner cavity of the main body 10. The mounting holes 123 are respectively located on two opposite surfaces in the direction of insertion into the splicing member 200, and are threaded holes. The windows 124 are located on the inner folded surfaces. Specifically, each half-body 12 has two windows 124 on its inner folded surface. The two windows 124 on the same inner folded surface are arranged in a row along the direction of insertion into the splicing member 200, and the windows 124 of the two half-body 12 are opposite each other. The first shaft holes 125 are located on two opposite surfaces in the direction of insertion into the splicing member 200. The four first shaft holes 125 are opposite each other and are located near the bends of the two inner folded surfaces. A pivot 126 passes between two corresponding first shaft holes 125 on the two opposite surfaces.
[0041] The drive component 20 is movably connected to the mounting hole 123 of the body 10 and is also connected to the driven component 30. Specifically, the drive component 20 is a screw, with the screw head disposed on the mounting hole 123 and the shaft placed inside the body 10. The screw is threadedly connected to the driven component 30 in the direction of insertion into the splice 200, so that the driven component 30 moves along the axial direction of the screw as the screw rotates.
[0042] The driven component 30 is disposed within the main body 10 and is connected to the driving component 20. The driven component 30 moves between a first position and a second position as driven by the driving component 20. The first position is the initial position, and the second position is the target position of the assembled connector 100 in its working state. The driven component 30 has a threaded hole, and the driving component 20 is threadedly matched with the driven component 30. Rotating the driving component 20 moves the driven component 30; specifically, the driven component 30 gradually moves from the end of the screw towards the head of the screw, with the first position being closer to the end of the screw and the second position being closer to the head of the screw. Preferably, in this embodiment, the driven component 30 is a wedge-shaped block, with its larger end facing the first position and its smaller end facing the second position. This allows the lateral dimension of the driven component 30 to gradually increase as it moves from the first position to the second position, enhancing its squeezing and pushing effect on the occupier 50.
[0043] In this embodiment, the driven component 30 is preferably a rubber wedge-shaped block. In other embodiments, the driven component 30 is a plastic block or a metal block, and its shape is not limited to a wedge-shaped block, as long as it can abut against the occupant component 50 when it moves to the second position.
[0044] In this preferred embodiment, there are two screws as driving components 20, each corresponding to one of the two mounting holes 123. There are also two wedge blocks as driven components 30, each corresponding to one of the two screws. Each screw controls one wedge block, and the two wedge blocks operate independently.
[0045] The spacer component 50 is integrally formed and is disposed within the inner cavity of the body 10, corresponding to the window 124 of the body 10. When the driven component 30 moves from the first position to the second position, the driven component 30 abuts against the spacer component 50, and elastic deformation, displacement, and / or rotation occur accordingly depending on the material, shape, structure, and position of the spacer component 50. Specifically, the spacer component 50 is a double dovetail elastomer with two opposing inward folded surfaces, a neck 52 formed at the bend, and large-scale ends at both ends forming heads 54. The neck 52 of the spacer component 50 is provided with a second shaft hole 527, and the pivot 126 passes through the first shaft hole 125 and the second shaft hole 527, limiting the spacer component 50 within the body 10 and corresponding to the window 124. When the driven part 30 abuts against the occupying part 50, the driven part 30 first contacts the two ends 54 of the occupying part 50. The two ends 54 elastically deform and rotate towards each other around the neck 52, thereby exposing at least part of the window 124. The exposed part of the occupying part 50 fills the gap between the assembly connector 100 and the splicing part 200, and simultaneously squeezes the inner sides of the two splicing parts 200.
[0046] In this embodiment, the double dovetail elastomer is preferably made of rubber; in other embodiments, the double dovetail elastomer may be made of resin or metal. Furthermore, the inner folded surface of the occupier 50 corresponds to the inner folded surface of the half-body 12.
[0047] In this preferred embodiment, there are four double dovetail elastomers serving as the occupant component 50, each corresponding to one of the four windows 124. Two opposing double dovetail elastomers correspond to one driven component 30. One driven component 30 controls two double dovetail elastomers, which press the inner surfaces of the two splicing parts 200 under balanced force.
[0048] A spacer metal plate 40 and its fixing component 48 are included. The spacer metal plate 40 is disposed between the driven component 30 and the occupying component 50 to reduce friction between them. The fixing component 48 is connected to the body 10 and fixes one end or the middle of the spacer metal plate 40. Specifically, the fixing component 48 is disposed between the two windows 124. The spacer metal plate 40 is elongated, and the fixing component 48 engages with the middle of the spacer metal plate 40, dividing it into two side wings, each corresponding to one of the two occupying components 50. When the driven component 30 moves to the second position, it abuts against the spacer metal plate 40, causing the spacer metal plate 40 to bend and abut against the occupying component 50.
[0049] The protective shell 60 is a block-shaped metal plate that covers two opposite surfaces of the main body 10 in the direction of the insertion splice 200.
[0050] When using the assembly connector 100 of this embodiment, two splicing parts 200 are joined together, with their two dovetail grooves corresponding to each other. The assembly connector 100 is simultaneously inserted into the dovetail grooves of the two splicing parts 200. Since the size of the assembly connector 100 is slightly smaller than the through groove formed by the two dovetail grooves, the assembly connector 100 can be inserted smoothly. Subsequently, the screw, which serves as the driving component 20, is rotated. The screw drives the wedge block, which serves as the driven component 30, to move. The driven component 30 moves from the first position to the second position, that is, from the end of the screw to the head of the screw. During the movement of the driven component 30, the driven component 30 abuts against the spacer metal sheet 40. The spacer metal sheet 40 is bent by force and transmits the compressive force to the occupant component 50. The occupant component 50 is a double dovetail rubber block. Its two ends 54 are preferentially compressed and produce elastic deformation. The elastically deformed ends 54 rotate towards each other and at least partially expose the window 124. The exposed part of the occupant component 50 not only fills the gap between the assembly connector 100 and the splicing component 200 caused by the size difference, but also the exposed part of the occupant component 50 presses against the surface of the splicing component 200, so that friction is generated between the assembly connector 100 and the splicing component 200, further stabilizing the connection of the splicing component 200.
[0051] Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, the aforementioned movement process is reversible. When the driven component 30 is in the second position, the driven component 20 can be rotated in the opposite direction to reset the driven component 30 to the first position. Specifically, as the driven component 30 gradually moves from the second position to the first position, the force on the spacer metal plate 40 decreases until it disappears, and consequently the force on the occupant component 50 decreases until it disappears. The head 54 of the occupant component 50 elastically resets and retracts the portion exposing the window 124, and the filling of the gap by the assembly connector 100 and the frictional effect on the splicing component 200 disappear.
[0052] It should be noted that the squeezing friction of the assembly connectors on the spliced parts is a further displacement and force applied to fill the gaps, so the two effects cannot be regarded as equivalent.
[0053] In the above embodiments, the occupant component achieves the function of filling the gap through elastic deformation and rotation. In other embodiments, the occupant component can achieve the function of filling the gap through displacement, displacement and rotation, displacement and elastic deformation, or displacement and rotation.
[0054] In the above embodiments, the window is set on the inner folded surface of the body because if the window is set on the surface of the body that only contacts any one of the splicing components, the exposed part of the occupier may abut against the splicing component, thereby pushing the two splicing components apart and creating a gap between them, affecting the splicing effect. However, this does not mean that the window cannot be set on the surface of the body that only contacts any one of the splicing components.
[0055] In the above embodiments, the driving component is a screw, and the driving method is a threaded connection. In other embodiments, the driving component can be other structures, including but not limited to rod-shaped, block-shaped, or spherical. The driving method includes but is not limited to push-pull force, magnetic force, or electric force, as long as the driving component can move the driven component from the first position to the second position. Whether it can reset depends on the application of the splicing components.
[0056] Compared with existing technologies, the occupant component of the assembly connector in this embodiment is integrally molded, which has a simple structure, is easy to produce and assemble, and greatly reduces the difficulty and cost of production and processing. Moreover, the integrally molded structure is stable, making the connection effect of the assembly connector of this embodiment to the spliced parts more stable, which is more advantageous than the connectors of existing technologies and has a better market prospect.
[0057] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, it will be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
