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

[0050] The following reference Figures 1 to 10 This application describes a connector plug according to some embodiments.

[0051] In this embodiment, a connector plug includes a housing 100 and a connecting ring 102 sleeved on the outside of the housing 100; the connector plug further includes a locking assembly 103 disposed on the housing 100, the locking assembly 103 having a locking portion 110, and a limiting portion 104 on the inner sidewall of the connecting ring 102; specifically, the limiting portion 104 is a limiting groove, combined with... Figure 1 As shown, an annular ring is provided on the inner sidewall of the connecting ring 102. The annular ring has a notch, which is a limiting groove. That is to say, the notch is a limiting part 104 structure. It is worth noting that the above only shows one structure of the limiting part 104. Other feasible structures besides this structure are also within the protection scope of this application.

[0052] More specifically, when the locking part 110 is driven to move along the first direction 105, the locking part 110 can be locked in the limiting part 104 so that the connecting ring 102 is fixed to the housing 100;

[0053] When the locking part 110 is driven to move along the second direction 106, the locking part 110 can disengage from the limiting part 104, so that the connecting ring 102 can be rotatably disposed on the housing 100.

[0054] Furthermore, the first direction 105 and the second direction 106 are two opposite directions.

[0055] In actual use, the locking part 110 is first driven to move along the second direction 106, causing the locking part 110 to disengage from the limiting part 104; then, the operator can simultaneously rotate the connecting ring 102 on the housing 100 with both hands, so that the connecting ring 102 is engaged in the appropriate position on the product; finally, the locking part 110 is driven to move along the first direction 105, so that the locking part 110 is locked on the limiting part 104, thereby fixing the connecting nut on the housing 100 and fixing the connecting ring 102 on the product.

[0056] In summary, this application has a simple structure; the locking component 103 is set on the housing 100. During operation, the driving locking part 110 is disengaged from the limiting part 104, and then the connecting ring 102 can be rotated by both hands to connect the connecting ring 102 to the product. The whole process is simple and convenient.

[0057] In this embodiment, the housing 100 has a mounting groove 107, and the locking assembly 103 is placed in the mounting groove 107. The locking assembly 103 includes a telescopic rod 108 and an elastic element 109; preferably, the elastic element 109 is a spring; the locking part 110 is formed at one end of the telescopic rod 108 near the limiting part 104, combined with... Figure 2 As shown, the locking part 110 is a protrusion 115 formed on the telescopic rod 108; combined with Figure 5 As shown, two slots are spaced apart on the side wall of the telescopic rod 108 along its length direction, namely the first slot 111 and the second slot 112. The fixed end 113 of the elastic member 109 is fixed to the side wall of the mounting groove 107, and the other end is the free end 114.

[0058] In actual use, when the locking part 110 is located within the limiting part 104, the free end 114 can be engaged in the first slot 111; when the locking part 110 is disengaged from the locking part 110, the free end 114 can be engaged in the second slot 112.

[0059] Combination Figures 3-10 As shown, in order to ensure that the locking part 110 can be stably locked on the limiting part 104 under the action of the elastic member 109, in this embodiment, two slots are provided at intervals on both side walls along the length direction of the telescopic rod 108; two elastic members 109 are provided, and the two elastic members 109 are respectively provided on both sides of the telescopic rod 108 along the length direction.

[0060] Specifically, in actual use, the elastic elements 109 located on both sides of the telescopic rod 108 along its length can work together, that is, the two elastic elements 109 can be simultaneously engaged in the first slot 111 or the second slot 112, ensuring the balance of both sides of the telescopic rod 108, thereby enabling the locking part 110 to be stably locked on the limiting part 104.

[0061] In this embodiment, the slot has a V-shaped structure, and the free end 114 of the elastic member 109 can be locked into the V-shaped slot. To ensure that the free end 114 can be locked into the slot, the free end 114 has a V-shaped structure, and the slot and the opening end of the free end 114 face the same direction.

[0062] It is worth noting that the structure of the slot is not limited to the V-shaped structure mentioned above, but can also be a concave structure.

[0063] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the fixed end 113 can be stably fixed on the side wall of the mounting groove 107, a protrusion 115 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 107, and the protrusion 115 is used to fix the fixed end 113 of the elastic member 109.

[0064] Specifically, in combination Figure 5 As shown, the elastic element 109 has three sections: the first section is a V-shaped structure that locks onto the slot; the second section is an extension parallel to the axial direction of the telescopic rod 108; and the third section is a fixed end 113.

[0065] In this embodiment, to facilitate driving the telescopic rod 108 and improve the installation efficiency of the connector plug, the locking assembly 103 further includes a handle 116; the handle 116 is disposed on the telescopic rod 108 away from the locking part 110. Preferably, the handle 116 has an elliptical structure. In actual operation, by moving the handle 116 along the first direction 105 or along the second direction 106, the locking part 110 is locked onto the limiting part 104 or the locking part 110 is disengaged from the limiting part 104.

[0066] Combination Figures 8-10 As shown, when the handle 116 is pulled along the second direction 106, the elastic element 109 is compressed by force. When the handle 116 is pulled to the preset position, the elastic element 109 is moved into the second slot 112. At this time, the stress of the elastic element 109 is released. At the same time, the locking part 110 of the telescopic rod 108 is disengaged from the limiting part 104, that is, the locking state of the connecting ring 102 is released. By holding the connecting ring 102, the connecting ring 102 can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise on the housing 100.

[0067] Combination Figures 2-4 As shown, when the handle 116 is pulled along the first direction 105, the elastic element 109 is compressed by force. When the handle 116 is pulled to the preset position, the elastic element 109 is pushed into the first slot 111. At this time, the stress of the elastic element 109 is released. At the same time, the locking part 110 of the telescopic rod 108 is locked in the limiting part 104, that is, the connecting ring 102 is locked on the housing 100 and cannot rotate freely, thus completing the locking of the connecting ring 102.

[0068] In this embodiment, to prevent dust from falling into the interior of the locking assembly 103 and affecting its service life, the locking assembly 103 further includes a sealing plate 117 to improve its service life and flexibility. The sealing plate 117 is located above the telescopic rod 108 and one end is fixedly connected to the handle 116. That is, when the handle 116 drives the telescopic rod 108 to move along the first direction 105 or the second direction 106, the sealing plate 117 can move synchronously with the handle 116. In summary, the sealing plate 117 can always seal the telescopic rod 108 and the elastic element 109 on the housing 100, thereby preventing dust from falling into the interior of the locking assembly 103.

[0069] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the locking assembly 103 from falling out of the mounting slot 107 of the housing 100, the connector plug further includes a fixing plate 118, which is fixed to the housing 100 by a first connector 119; wherein the first connector 119 is a screw.

[0070] Specifically, the fixing plate 118 has a through hole, through which the handle 116 can pass, so as not to affect the movement of the handle 116 along the first direction 105 or along the second direction 106.

[0071] More specifically, the fixing plate 118 is an arc-shaped metal plate that can fit against the surface of the housing 100 and can be fixed to the housing 100 by screws.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
