Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrical equipment and belongs to a fixing bracket and a connector for a modular insert core. Background Art

[0002] A fixing frame is used to fix a plug-in connection module. The fixing frame is equipped with many different plug-in connection modules, which are then loaded into a plug-in connection housing and screwed together with it. Here, the fixing frame must be stable so that it can withstand the plugging and tensile forces that occur during splicing or disassembling.

[0003] It can be known from CN107925192B that the prior art provides a fixing frame composed of two half-frames hinged to each other. The fixing frame is separated perpendicular to the side wall of the frame. The hinge is arranged on the fastening end of the fixing frame such that when the fixing frame is tightened on the fixing surface, the direction of the frame body is adjusted so that the side wall of the fixing frame is perpendicular to the fixing surface, and the plug-in connection module has a connection that fits the shape of the fixing frame through a fixing device. When installing the modular insert core using this installation method, during use, when the operator installs the modular insert core in the correct position, accessories need to be installed to prevent the frame from rotating, which increases the installation difficulty during the installation process, takes more time during the installation process, and reduces the efficiency. Assembling such a retaining frame is a time-consuming operation. For example, as long as one module needs to be replaced, this retaining frame must be unscrewed and / or unlocked from the plug connector. Other modules that are not desired to be removed may fall out of the retaining frame and must be inserted again before the frame halves are screwed together again and / or before the frame halves are locked together. Before the frame halves can be connected, all modules must be in the positions provided for them at the same time so that they can finally be fixed in the retaining frame when the frame halves are connected together. This makes the assembly more difficult.

[0004] It can be known from CN10055794C that the prior art also provides a fixing frame. The fixing frame has a plurality of wall segments separated by gaps on its plug side. Each two symmetrically opposite wall segments form an insertion area for a plug module; the wall segments have window-shaped openings, and protrusions are formed on the narrow sides of the plug module; and when the plug module is inserted into the insertion area of the fixing frame, the protrusions are stopped in the window-shaped openings. When using this method, during the installation process, since the step of combining two half-frames is omitted, the time consumed is shorter. However, since the implementation of the fixing frame mainly utilizes the performance of the material itself to achieve the insertion of the insert core, the installation reliability mainly relies on the deformation of the material itself. Using this method will require higher requirements for the material itself. Since most fixing frames are integrally formed by molds, it is difficult to ensure the same performance for each frame during the injection molding process, and it will cost a large amount of money. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a fixing bracket and a connector for a modular ferrule that can achieve rapid installation and disassembly of products and ensure the safety of the products.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a fixing bracket for a modular ferrule, characterized in that the fixing bracket is used to receive similar and / or different modular ferrules, and the fixing bracket includes:

[0007] A first housing, a cavity for accommodating the modular ferrule is arranged in the first housing, and the modular ferrule enters the cavity arranged in the first housing from the opening direction of the first housing;

[0008] The modular ferrule is fixed in the first housing through a second housing, wherein the second housing is detachably connected to the first housing.

[0009] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a connector, the connector includes a plug and a socket, wherein the plug and the socket cooperate with each other, and both the plug and the socket include a fixing bracket and a modular ferrule arranged in the fixing bracket, wherein the fixing bracket is used to receive similar and / or different modular ferrules, and the fixing bracket includes:

[0010] A first housing, a cavity for accommodating the modular ferrule is arranged in the first housing, and the modular ferrule enters the cavity arranged in the first housing from the opening direction of the first housing;

[0011] The modular ferrule is fixed in the first housing through a second housing, wherein the second housing is detachably connected to the first housing;

[0012] When the plug and the socket cooperate with each other, the modular ferrules arranged in the plug and the socket are inserted and combined with each other.

[0013] As can be seen from the above technical content, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Since the modular ferrule is fixed in the first housing through the second housing, and the second housing is detachably connected to the first housing, in this case, it can be known that the first housing and the second housing are two separable components. During the installation process of the modular ferrule, the modular ferrule can be placed in the first housing and then the second housing can be connected to the first housing. During the disassembly process, by operating the second housing with one hand, the separation of the first housing and the second housing can be achieved, improving work efficiency. In this way, the deformation of the second housing itself is mainly utilized, and there is no difficulty in the injection molding process. Moreover, the second housing is a seal surrounded by a quadrilateral, and the injection molding difficulty is relatively low. If the first housing and the second housing need to be disassembled and assembled frequently in the use environment, the material of the second housing can be replaced with a metal part to improve the service life of the second housing.

[0014] In another embodiment, the second housing includes a first main body, a second main body and an elastic member. The first main body and the second main body each include a first leg, a second leg and a side pressing edge connecting the first leg and the second leg. The first leg has a first limiting surface, and the second leg has a second limiting surface. A cavity capable of accommodating the first leg is provided on the second leg. The first main body and the second main body are installed in a receiving cavity provided on the first housing. The first limiting surface of the first leg of the first main body and the second limiting surface of the second leg of the second main body, and the second limiting surface of the second leg of the first main body and the first limiting surface of the first leg of the second main body respectively form a movable space. An elastic member is provided in the movable space. In this embodiment, by providing an elastic member in the movable space formed after the first leg and the second leg are installed, the separation of the first leg and the second leg is achieved through the deformation of the elastic member. During the installation process, during use, since the second housing and the first housing have been installed as a whole, the user places the modular ferrule into the cavity provided in the first housing. In this case, since the modular ferrule needs to be installed downward into the cavity, the modular ferrule presses the second housing, making the movable space between the first leg and the second leg smaller. The elastic member is in a compressed state under the action of the pressing force. When the modular ferrule continues to move downward to the fixed position, at this time, there is no left-right direction force between the modular ferrule and the second housing, and the elastic member returns to its original state under its own elastic force, thereby connecting the first housing and the second housing. This installation method is simple, fast and effective, and does not rely on the elastic force of the materials of the first housing and the second housing itself to achieve the function. There are no great requirements for the materials of the first housing and the second housing without special requirements for the materials, saving costs.

[0015] If the length dimensions of the first installation stage and the second installation stage are different, misinsertion prevention of the modular ferrule during installation can be achieved, improving safety.

[0029] To better understand the technical content of the present invention, specific embodiments are hereby given and described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as follows.

[0030] In the present disclosure, aspects of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which many illustrative embodiments are shown. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not necessarily intended to cover all aspects of the present invention. It should be understood that the various concepts and embodiments introduced above, as well as those described in more detail below, can be implemented in any of many ways, because the concepts and embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not limited to any implementation manner. Additionally, some aspects of the present invention can be used alone, or in any suitable combination with other aspects of the present invention.

[0031] Those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments can be implemented without one or more of the specific details or in combination with other alternative and / or additional methods, materials, or components. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail so as not to obscure aspects of the embodiments of the present invention. Similarly, for purposes of explanation, specific quantities, materials, and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented without specific details. In addition, it should be understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings are illustrative representations and not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0032] A fixing bracket for a modular ferrule 2, the fixing bracket being configured to receive similar and / or different modular ferrules 2, wherein the fixing bracket includes: a first frame body 1, a cavity for accommodating the modular ferrule 2 is provided inside the first frame body 1, and the modular ferrule 2 enters the cavity provided inside the first frame body 1 from the opening direction of the first frame body 1; the modular ferrule 2 is fixed inside the first frame body 1 by a second frame body 3, wherein the second frame body 3 is detachably connected to the first frame body 1.

[0033] The structure of the modular insert 2 can be referred to the sample of Phoenix Contact. The modular insert 2 is further divided into a pin-type plug and a socket-type receptacle. The pin-type receptacle and the pin-type plug cooperate to achieve electrical connection. The pin-type plug and the socket-type receptacle are respectively installed in the fixing brackets of different modular inserts 2, and the circuit is connected and disconnected through the insertion of the pin-type plug and the socket-type receptacle.

[0034] The material of the second housing 3 can be the same as or different from that of the first housing 1. In most cases, the material of the first housing 1 is plastic. The material of the second housing 3 can be the same as that of the first housing 1, that is, it can be plastic, or it can be a non-plastic material, such as metal. The material of the second housing 3 can be selected according to the disassembly situation of the first housing 1. For example, when it is necessary to utilize the deformation force of the second housing 3 itself to achieve multiple disassembly of the second housing 3, the second housing 3 is preferably made of metal.

[0035] Such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the second housing 3 includes a pressing portion 4 and a supporting portion 5 arranged oppositely. The pressing portion 4 and the supporting portion 5 are adjacent to form a quadrilateral structural member. The installation direction of the second housing 3 is the same as that of the modular insert 2. In this case, after the modular insert 2 is installed into the first housing 1, the second housing 3 makes the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 snap together in the same direction.

[0036] The snap connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 is mainly achieved through the following technical solution. An outward protruding ear 6 for connecting with the first housing 1 is arranged on the outer side of the pressing portion 4. A mating portion 7 cooperating with the protruding ear 6 is arranged on the first housing 1. When the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 are connected, the protruding ear 6 and the mating portion 7 are in contact. That is, during the implementation process, when the modular insert 2 is installed into the first housing 1, the second housing 3 enters the first housing 1 along the same direction as the installation direction of the modular insert 2. During the installation process, when the protruding ear 6 contacts the mating portion 7, the connection between the second housing 3 and the first housing 1 is achieved. Since the second housing 3 is located above the modular insert 2, the second housing 3 can fix the modular insert 2 in the first housing 1.

[0037] The positions of the protruding ear 6 and the mating portion 7 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. It is not limited to the protruding ear 6 being arranged on the second housing 3 and the mating portion 7 being arranged in the first housing 1. As long as the connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 can be achieved, the requirements of the present invention are satisfied.

[0038] An installation step for installing the modular ferrule 2 is provided inside the first housing 1. Clamping portions 9 are provided at both ends of the modular ferrule 2 and are engaged with the installation step. The clamping portion 9 and the installation step cooperate to realize the connection between the modular ferrule 2 and the first housing 1. The clamping portion 9 is a protruding member protruding from the outer surface of the modular ferrule 2, and the protruding member is disposed inside the installation step of the first housing 1, and the shape of the installation step is consistent with the shape of the protruding member.

[0039] To install the modular ferrule 2 on the first housing 1, usually one or more sets of installation steps are provided inside the first housing 1 and are arranged oppositely. When a user needs to connect multiple circuits, the number of sets of installation steps can be increased inside the first housing 1. Since the modular ferrule 2 is a standardized module, when multiple installation steps are provided inside the first housing 1, multiple modular ferrules 2 can be placed. The modular ferrule 2 is divided into two types: a pin-type plug and a socket-type receptacle, and the pin-type plug and the socket-type receptacle cooperate to realize the connection of the circuit. Since multiple modular ferrules 2 are usually provided inside a first housing 1, in order to prevent the disorder of the circuit, a device for preventing incorrect circuit connection needs to be provided during implementation to prevent irreparable losses caused by incorrect circuit connection. In this scenario, each set of installation steps has a first installation step 10 and a second installation step 11, and the length dimensions of the first installation step 10 and the second installation step 11 are different. Since the dimensions of each set of installation steps are different, the modular ferrule 2 cannot be inserted into the first frame when inserted incorrectly. By adopting this method, incorrect insertion during the wiring process can be avoided. A protruding portion 12 is provided on the inner side of the first housing 1, and the protruding portion is used to fix and guide the housing of the modular ferrule 2. At the same time, since the protruding portion 12 is provided in this solution for the purpose of saving materials, in actual use, the plane where the protruding portion is located can also be set as a plane parallel to the front end faces of the first installation step 10 and the second installation step 11, and it can also achieve the purpose of the present invention.

[0040] As Figures 6 to 9 shown, the present invention also provides another embodiment 2, and the main content of this embodiment is as follows: The second housing 3 includes a first main body 13, a second main body 14, and an elastic member 15. The first main body 13 and the second main body 14 are in a "C" shape, and a movable space is provided in the portion where the first main body 13 and the second main body 14 cooperate, and the elastic member 15 is disposed in the movable space.

[0041] Both the first body 13 and the second body 14 include a first leg 16, a second leg 17, and a side pressing edge 18 connecting the first leg 16 and the second leg 17. The first leg 16 has a first limiting surface 19, and the second leg 17 has a second limiting surface 20. A cavity capable of accommodating the first leg 16 is provided on the second leg 17. The first body 13 and the second body 14 are installed in a receiving cavity 21 provided on the first frame 1. The first limiting surface 19 of the first leg 16 of the first body 13 and the second limiting surface 20 of the second leg 17 of the second body 14, and the second limiting surface 20 of the second leg 17 of the first body 13 and the first limiting surface 19 of the first leg 16 of the second body 14 respectively form a movable space, and an elastic member 15 is provided in the movable space.

[0042] A guiding boss is provided on the first frame 1, and a guiding groove is provided on the second frame 3. The guiding boss and the guiding groove cooperate, and the guiding boss is used to limit the movement range of the second frame 3 on the first frame 1. The guiding boss includes a containing portion 25 for accommodating the first leg 16 and the second leg 17. The containing portion 25 and the first frame 1 are an integral whole or a non-integral whole capable of being connected to the first frame 1. The containing portion 25 can be an open type or a core-pulling type. When the core-pulling type is adopted, that is, when the containing portion 25 and the first frame 1 are an integral whole, an opening portion 28 smaller than the movable space is provided at the upper position of the movable space, and the opening portion 28 is used for installing the elastic member 15.

[0043] When the containing portion 25 is of the open type, a movable or rotatable cover plate is provided on the first frame 1 to prevent the elastic member 15 from popping out during the extrusion process, and at the same time to give an up-and-down direction limiting force to the first body 13, the second body 14, and the elastic member 15 to prevent them from separating from the first frame 1.

[0044] The side pressing edge 18 is located outside the first frame 1. The side pressing edge 18 can move along the guiding boss provided on the first frame 1 during the process of disassembling the modular ferrule 2. A guiding groove is provided at the part where the side pressing edge 18 cooperates with the first frame 1. There is at least one guiding boss, and the number of guiding grooves is the same as the number of guiding bosses.

[0045] The plane where the first limiting surface 19 is located intersects the plane where the first leg 16 is located, and the plane where the second limiting surface 20 is located intersects the plane where the second leg 17 is located. The first limiting surface 19 and the second limiting surface 20 extend to the outside or the inside of the "C" - shaped structure. In the present invention, the case where the first limiting surface 19 and the second limiting surface 20 extend to the outside of the "C" structure is taken as an example. A movable space is formed between the first limiting surface 19 and the second limiting surface 20.

[0046] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a connector, which includes a plug and a socket. The plug and the socket are matched with each other. Both the plug and the socket include a fixed bracket and a modular ferrule 2 disposed within the fixed bracket. The fixed bracket is used to receive similar and / or different modular ferrules 2. The fixed bracket includes:

[0047] A first housing 1, within which there is a cavity for accommodating the modular ferrule 2. The modular ferrule 2 enters the cavity disposed within the first housing 1 from the opening direction of the first housing 1;

[0048] The modular ferrule 2 is fixed within the first housing 1 by a second housing 3, where the second housing 3 is detachably connected to the first housing 1;

[0049] When the plug and the socket are matched, the modular ferrules 2 disposed within the plug and the socket are inserted into each other.

[0050] During the use of the plug and the socket, according to different usage scenarios, the plug and the socket can be installed in relevant waterproof and dustproof enclosures for protection.

[0051] Since the modular ferrule 2 is further divided into a pin - type plug and a socket - type receptacle, where the socket - type receptacle and the pin - type plug are matched to achieve electrical connection. The pin - type plug and the socket - type receptacle are respectively installed within the fixed brackets of different modular ferrules 2, and the connection and disconnection of the circuit are achieved through the insertion of the pin - type plug and the socket - type receptacle. Therefore, during use, the pin - type plug and the socket - type receptacle need to be respectively installed within the fixed brackets of the plug or the socket. The embodiments of this connector may include the above - mentioned Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, which will not be elaborated here due to space limitations.

[0052] A buckle 31 is provided on the first housing 1 of the plug, and an engaging portion 32 matched with the buckle 31 is provided on the first housing 1 of the socket. During use, the buckle 31 is connected to the engaging portion 32, thereby connecting the plug and the socket.

[0053] An installation method for a modular ferrule 2 includes the following steps:

[0054] The modular ferrule 2 enters the cavity disposed within the first housing 1 from the opening direction of the first housing 1 for installing the modular ferrule 2 within the first housing 1;

[0055] The modular ferrule 2 is fixed within the first housing 1 by a second housing 3, where the second housing 3 is detachably connected to the first housing 1.

[0064] The modular ferrule 2 is fixed in the first housing 1 by a second housing 3, wherein the second housing 3 is detachably connected to the first housing 1;

[0065] Respectively arrange the fixing bracket including the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 in the plug and the socket;

[0066] Insert and engage the modular ferrules 2 provided in the plug and the socket.

[0067] During the installation process, an installation method adapted thereto can be adopted according to different product structures. For example, when the second housing 3 is an integral body composed of the first main body 13, the second main body 14 and the elastic member 15, different installation methods can be adopted according to different specific structures of the product.

[0068] The foregoing description of the present invention is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to practice or use the present disclosure. Various modifications to the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be applied to other variations without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the examples and designs described in the specification, but should be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.

[0069] As can be seen from the above technical solution, since the modular ferrule 2 is fixed in the first housing 1 through the second housing 3, and the second housing 3 is detachably connected to the first housing 1, it can be known in this case that the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 are two separable components. During the installation process of the modular ferrule 2, the modular ferrule 2 can be placed in the first housing 1 and then the second housing 3 can be connected to the first housing 1. During the disassembly process, by operating the second housing 3 with one hand, the separation of the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 can be achieved, improving work efficiency. In this way, the deformation of the second housing 3 itself is mainly utilized, and there is no difficulty during the injection molding process. Moreover, the second housing 3 is a seal formed by a quadrilateral, and the injection molding difficulty is relatively low. If the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 need to be disassembled and assembled frequently in the use environment, the material of the second housing 3 can be replaced with a metal part to improve the service life of the second housing 3.

[0070] In another embodiment, the second housing 3 includes a first body 13, a second body 14, and an elastic member 15. The first body 13 and the second body 14 each include a first leg 16, a second leg 17, and a side pressing edge 18 connecting the first leg 16 and the second leg 17. The first leg 16 has a first limiting surface 19, and the second leg 17 has a second limiting surface 20. A cavity capable of accommodating the first leg 16 is provided on the second leg 17. The first body 13 and the second body 14 are installed in a receiving cavity 21 provided on the first housing 1. The first limiting surface 19 of the first leg 16 of the first body 13 and the second limiting surface 20 of the second leg 17 of the second body 14, and the second limiting surface 20 of the second leg 17 of the first body 13 and the first limiting surface 19 of the first leg 16 of the second body 14 respectively form a movable space. An elastic member 15 is provided in the movable space. In this embodiment, by providing the elastic member 15 in the movable space formed after the installation of the first leg 16 and the second leg 17, the separation of the first leg 16 and the second leg 17 is achieved through the deformation of the elastic member 15. During the installation process and in the use process, since the second housing 3 and the first housing 1 have been installed as a whole, the user places the modular core 2 into the cavity provided in the first housing 1. In this case, since the modular core 2 needs to be installed downward into the cavity, the modular core 2 presses the second housing 3, reducing the movable space between the first leg 16 and the second leg 17. The elastic member 15 is in a compressed state under the action of the pressing force. When the modular core 2 continues to move downward to a fixed position, at this time, there is no left-right acting force between the modular core 2 and the second housing 3. Then the elastic member 15 returns to its original state under its own elastic force, thereby connecting the first housing 1 and the second housing 3. This installation method is simple, fast, and effective. It does not rely on the elastic force of the materials of the first housing 1 and the second housing itself to realize the function. There are no major requirements for the materials of the first housing 1 and the second housing 3 without special requirements for the materials, saving costs.

[0071] If the length dimensions of the first installation stage 10 and the second installation stage 11 are different, the anti-misinsertion of the modular core 2 during the installation process can be realized, improving safety.

[0072] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by what is defined in the claims.
