[0041] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0042] As Figures 1-10 shown, the implementation of the present invention is as follows:

[0043] A connector, the connector includes a connector body 1 and a driving device 2, and the connector body 1 is fixedly connected to the driving device 2. The driving device 2 includes a bottom plate 21, a driving assembly 22, and a moving plate 23. The driving assembly 22 and the moving plate 23 are both arranged on the bottom plate 21, and the driving assembly 22 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 23. The connector body 1 includes a plug assembly 11 and a socket assembly 12. The plug assembly 11 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 23, and the plug assembly 11 and the socket assembly 12 are docked.

[0044] A chute 211 is provided on the bottom plate 21, and the moving plate 23 is installed on the chute 211. Two stop pieces 212 are provided in the chute 211, one of the stop pieces 212 is fixed in the chute, and the other stop piece 212 is fixed to the lower end of the moving plate 23. A reset elastic member 213 for moving the moving plate is installed between the two stop pieces 212. In this embodiment, the pushing assembly 22 can drive the plug assembly 11 on the moving plate 23 to slide on the bottom plate 21, realizing the separation and insertion of the plug assembly 11 and the socket assembly 12. The reset elastic member 213 in this embodiment is a spring, so that after the moving plate 23 of this embodiment moves under the action of the pushing assembly 22, it can rebound and reset under the action of the reset elastic member 213, making it more convenient for the connector plug on the moving plate 23 to move and facilitating the insertion of the connector.

[0045] The pushing assembly 22 includes a support member 221, a handle 222 and a push rod 223. The support member 221 is fixed on the bottom plate 21, and the handle 222 is hinged to the support member 221; a guide tube 224 is provided on the bottom plate, a positioning groove 231 is provided on the moving plate 23, and one end of the push rod 223 passes through the guide tube 224 and is fixedly installed in the positioning groove 231.

[0046] The handle 222 includes a gripping portion 225 and a connecting portion 226, and the gripping portion 225 and the connecting portion 226 are hinged. The gripping portion 225 is provided with a hinge protrusion 2251, the connecting portion 226 is provided with a hinge position 2261, and the hinge protrusion 2251 is installed on the hinge position 2261. A through hole 2262 is provided near the hinge position 2261 of the connecting portion 226, a clamping post 2263 is provided in the through hole 2262, and a clamping spring 2264 passes through the clamping post 2263.

[0047] The articulated protrusion 2251 is provided with a fixing groove 2252 and a movable groove 2253. The depth of the fixing groove 2252 is greater than that of the movable groove 2253, and both the fixing groove 2252 and the movable groove 2253 are adapted to the clamping post 2263. A bent groove 2254 is provided between the fixing groove 2252 and the movable groove 2253, and the clamping post 2263 can move within the bent groove 2254. In this embodiment, when the clamping post 2263 is clamped in the fixing groove 2252, due to the greater depth of the fixing groove 2252, the clamping post 2263 cannot slide along the bent groove 2254, and the gripping part 225 and the connecting part 226 cannot rotate, and the entire handle is fixed as a whole. When the clamping post 2263 is pulled outwards along the through hole 2262 of the connecting part 226, the clamping post 2263 can be disengaged from the fixing groove 2252. At this time, the gripping part 225 and the connecting part 226 can rotate. While rotating, the clamping post 2263 can also slide from the fixing groove 2252 along the bent groove 2254 into the movable groove 2253, realizing the rotational storage of the gripping part 225. Since the depth of the movable groove 2253 is relatively shallow, the clamping post 2263 will not be fixed firmly, and the rotational reset of the gripping part 225 can be achieved by gently turning it, and the clamping post 2263 slides back into the fixing groove 2252 and is pushed into the fixing groove 2252 by the clamping spring 2264.

[0048] A linkage rod 227 is provided at the lower end of the connecting part 226. One end of the linkage rod 227 is connected within the handle 222 through a pin, and the other end of the linkage rod 227 is connected to the end of the push rod 223 away from the moving plate 23 through a pin.

[0049] A snap button 228 for controlling the movement of the moving plate 23 is installed on the connecting part 226. The snap button 228 is hinged to the connecting part 226. A snap button spring 2265 is also provided within the connecting part 226. One end of the snap button spring 2265 is connected to the snap button 228, and the other end is fixed within the connecting part 226. A snap portion 2281 is provided at the lower end of the snap button 228, and a snap step 2211 is provided on the support member 221. The snap portion 2281 is clamped at the snap step 2211. In this embodiment, when the socket and the plug of the connector are plugged together, the snap portion 2281 is locked on the snap step 2211, and the handle cannot be turned, being in a fixed state. When the connector needs to be separated, the snap button 228 can be pressed, and the snap portion 2281 is disengaged from the snap step 2211. At this time, the handle can be turned to drive the push rod to pull the moving plate forward, realizing the separation of the plug and the socket of the connector.

[0050] The cross-sectional shape of the sliding groove 211 is an inverted trapezoid. A sliding groove 232 matching the sliding groove 211 is provided at the lower end of the moving plate, and the sliding groove 211 is fitted within the sliding groove 232.

[0058] Anti-slip bumps 15 are provided on the upper end surfaces of both the plug connection end and the socket connection end. Hand-gripping parts 127 are provided on both sides of the socket connection end 122. When the plug assembly and the socket assembly 12 of this embodiment are docked, an operator can perform docking by gripping the hand-gripping parts 127, making the docking of the plug assembly and the socket assembly 12 more convenient; when separating, the anti-slip bumps 15 can also increase the friction force, facilitating the operator to pull out the plug assembly from the socket assembly 12.

[0059] The plugging method of this connector is as follows: Pull the handle of the pushing device backward, push the moving plate forward to achieve the plugging of the connector plug and the socket, and the snap fastener and the support member are automatically locked; when it is necessary to disconnect the connection, hold the snap fastener and then pull the handle in the opposite direction, and the connector plug will contract inward along the guide rail, thereby disconnecting the contact with the connector socket.
