Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a connector and a filter. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of communication technology, to ensure signal transmission between different devices, a connector is typically installed on one device and a mating connector is installed on another device. When the connector is connected to the mating connector, the end face of the connector contacts and conducts electricity with the end face of the mating connector, thereby enabling the transmission of signals from one device to another.

[0003] In existing technologies, the connection between a connector and the connected end is typically achieved by using internal and external threads and then screwing them together. This method has several drawbacks. First, the connection speed is slow and cannot be fast. Second, this connection method relies on screwing; if the degree of rotation is not properly controlled, it can lead to unstable connections or over-tightening that can damage the terminals. Third, this connection method places high demands on the reliability of the threads; if the internal or external threads are damaged, the connector cannot be connected to the connected end, rendering both the connector and the connected end unusable and causing property damage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a connector and a filter to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a connector for connecting a terminal to be connected. The connector is provided with at least one claw, the claw including an elastic piece extending along a first direction, one end of the elastic piece being provided with a protrusion, the terminal to be connected being provided with a locking groove, and the protrusion engaging in the locking groove to realize the connection between the connector and the terminal to be connected.

[0006] Furthermore, the connector also includes a release member. A first inclined surface is provided on the side of the protrusion near the engagement groove, and a second inclined surface is provided on the side of the release member near the protrusion. The release member moves along a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction. The second inclined surface disengages the protrusion from the engagement groove through the first inclined surface.

[0007] Furthermore, the connector also includes a reinforcing member, one end of which is disposed on the claw, and the other end of which is stepped. A third inclined surface is provided on the side of the reinforcing member near the protrusion, and the third inclined surface abuts against the protrusion to enhance the engagement of the protrusion in the engagement groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a fourth inclined surface is provided on the side of the protrusion away from the engagement groove, and the third inclined surface abuts against the fourth inclined surface to enhance the engagement of the protrusion in the engagement groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the detachable part is disposed at the first end of the reinforcing member, and the detachable part can move relative to the reinforcing member in the second direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the detaching component is a detaching ring, which includes a connecting portion and a bending portion. The connecting portion is disposed at the first end of the reinforcing component and can move relative to the reinforcing component in a second direction. The second inclined surface is disposed on the inner surface of the bending portion.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing part is provided at the other end of the elastic sheet, and the elastic sheet is fixed to the outer shell of the connector through the fixing part. The reinforcing member is ring-shaped, and an internal thread is provided on the inner surface of the second end of the reinforcing member. An external thread corresponding to the internal thread is provided on the fixing body. The reinforcing member is provided on the fixing body so that the reinforcing member can be moved along the first direction or the second direction by rotating the reinforcing member.

[0012] Furthermore, a third inclined surface is disposed on the inner surface of the first end of the reinforcing member, and there is a gap between the inner surface of the first end of the reinforcing member and the elastic sheet, so that the elastic sheet can move toward the gap.

[0013] Furthermore, the connector also includes a grounding spring that abuts against the connector housing to ground the connector housing.

[0014] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also provides a filter, which includes the connector of any of the above-mentioned components.

[0015] This application has at least the following beneficial effects: In this way, when the connector is connected to the connected end, the elastic sheet of the connector undergoes elastic deformation, causing the protrusion to engage in the engaging groove of the connected end, thereby realizing a quick connection between the connector and the connected end.

[0027] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the connector 10 provided in the first embodiment of this application.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, connector 10 is used to connect to end 20. When connector 10 is connected to end 20, the inner core 101 of connector 10 is embedded in the inner core 201 of end 20, realizing the conduction between connector 10 and end 20, thereby realizing signal transmission between connector 10 and end 20. Of course, when connector 10 is connected to end 20, the inner core 101 and inner core 102 can achieve conduction simply by contacting their end faces.

[0031] The connector 10 is provided with at least one claw, which includes an elastic piece 11 extending along a first direction d1. The complete structure of the claw is not shown in this embodiment. For example, the claw may also include a fixing structure (not shown), which may be disposed at one end of the elastic piece 11 to fix the elastic piece 11.

[0032] Furthermore, one end of the elastic sheet 11 is provided with a protrusion 111. The protrusion 111 can also be provided in the middle of the elastic sheet 11, between the middle and the end, etc., and the protrusion 111 is integrally formed with the elastic sheet 11. The end to be connected 20 is provided with a locking groove 21, and the protrusion 111 engages in the locking groove 21, thereby realizing the connection between the connector 10 and the end to be connected 20. Preferably, the surface of the protrusion 111 is a smooth curved surface or a slope. When the surface of the protrusion 111 is a slope, the angle between the slope and the elastic sheet 11 is less than 90 degrees. Of course, it is also possible that only the surface of the second direction portion of the protrusion 111 is a smooth curved surface or a slope, so that when the connector 10 connects to the end to be connected 20, the outer surface of the end to be connected 20 can slide freely on the protrusion 111.

[0033] In this embodiment, only one elastic piece 11 is provided. To ensure a secure connection between the connector 10 and the end to be connected 20, a fixing piece can be provided on the connector 10. One end of the fixing piece has a protrusion, and a corresponding groove is provided on the end to be connected, allowing the protrusion to be positioned within the groove during connection, thus achieving better connection security. Alternatively, a protrusion or groove can be provided on the end face of the connector 10, and a corresponding groove or protrusion can be provided on the end face of the end to be connected 20, thereby achieving a secure connection. In other embodiments, the connector 10 is provided with at least two claws, which are distributed around the perimeter of the connector 10. Specifically, when two claws are provided, they are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the connector 10 to achieve a better connection effect.

[0034] It is understandable that when the connector 10 is connected to the end to be connected 20, the end to be connected 20 presses against the elastic sheet 11, the elastic sheet 11 deforms and bends away from the inner core 201 of the end to be connected 20 until the protrusion 111 engages with the engagement groove 21, the elastic sheet 11 returns to its deformed state, so that the connector 10 is connected to the end to be connected 20.

[0035] The beneficial technical effects of this embodiment are at least as follows: the connector 10 provided in this embodiment includes an elastic sheet 11. When the connector 10 is connected to the end to be connected 20, the elastic sheet 11 undergoes elastic deformation, thereby quickly causing the protrusion 111 of the elastic sheet 11 to engage in the engagement groove 21, thus quickly realizing the connection between the connector 10 and the end to be connected 20.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the connector 10 provided in the second embodiment of this application.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, based on the first embodiment described above, the connector 10 further includes a reinforcing member 12. One end of the reinforcing member 12 is disposed on the connector 10, and there is a certain gap between the reinforcing member 12 and the elastic sheet 11. The reinforcing member 12 can move relative to the connector 10 along a first direction d1 or a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction d1.

[0038] Specifically, the other end of the reinforcing member 12 is stepped, and a third inclined surface 121 is provided on the side of the reinforcing member 12 near the protrusion 111, while a fourth inclined surface 112 is provided on the side of the protrusion 111 near the reinforcing member 12. When the reinforcing member 12 moves in the first direction, the third inclined surface 121 will abut against the fourth inclined surface 112. Preferably, the slope of the third inclined surface 121 is less than the slope of the fourth inclined surface 112 to achieve a good abutment effect.

[0039] It is understandable that when the reinforcing member 12 is slid in the first direction d1, the third inclined surface 121 abuts against the fourth inclined surface 112 of the protrusion 111. At this time, there will be an interaction force between the reinforcing member 12 and the protrusion 111. This interaction force has a component force perpendicular to the elastic sheet 11. This perpendicular component force makes the protrusion 111 press tightly against the engaging groove 21 to strengthen the engagement of the protrusion 111 in the engaging groove 21.

[0040] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are at least as follows: Based on the first embodiment, the connector 10 of this embodiment also includes a reinforcing member 12, which can move in the first direction d1 so that the reinforcing member 12 and the elastic sheet 11 generate a component force perpendicular to the elastic sheet 11. This component force causes the protrusion 111 to press tightly against the engaging groove 21, thereby strengthening the connection between the connector 10 and the end 20 to be connected.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the connector 10 provided in the third embodiment of this application.

[0042] Based on the second embodiment described above, the connector 10 of this embodiment is further provided with a release member 13. The release member 13 can be slidably disposed on the reinforcing member 12 or fixedly disposed on the reinforcing member 12. The release member 13 can slide along the first direction d1 or the second direction. Specifically, the protrusion 111 has a first inclined surface 113 on the side near the engaging groove 21, and the release member 13 has a second inclined surface 131 on the side near the protrusion 111. When the release member 13 moves along the second direction, the first inclined surface 113 and the second inclined surface 131 can come into contact.

[0043] Understandably, when the release member 13 moves relative to the reinforcement 12 in the second direction, or when the reinforcement 12 and the release member 13 move together in the second direction, the second inclined surface 131 of the release member 13 abuts against the first inclined surface 113 of the protrusion 111, generating an interaction force between the release member 13 and the protrusion 111. This interaction force produces a component force perpendicular to the elastic piece 11. This component force causes the elastic piece 11 to shift away from the inner core 201 of the end to be connected 20, so that the protrusion 111 disengages from the engaging groove 21, thereby disengaging the connector 10 from the end to be connected 20.

[0044] Of course, in some other embodiments, the detachment member 13 may also be disposed on the housing of the connector 10 instead of on the reinforcement member 12, so that the detachment member 13 can move in the first direction d1 or the second direction.

[0045] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are at least as follows: Based on the second embodiment described above, the connector 10 further includes a release member 13. The release member 13 can generate a force perpendicular to the elastic sheet 11 by moving in the second direction. This force can cause the protrusion 111 to disengage from the engaging groove 21. Therefore, the connector 10 provided in this embodiment can achieve rapid disengagement of the connector 10 from the end to be connected 20 simply by pushing the release member 13 to move in the second direction.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connector 10 provided in the fourth embodiment of this application.

[0047] like Figure 4As shown, based on the third embodiment described above, the connector 10 in this embodiment further includes an insulator 102, which is disposed between the inner core 101 and the outer shell 103 of the connector 10 to achieve insulation between the inner core 101 and the outer shell 103. Similarly, the end to be connected 20 also includes an insulator 202, which is disposed between the inner core 201 and the outer shell 203 of the end to be connected 20.

[0048] Furthermore, the claw also includes a fixing part 14, which is disposed at the other end of the elastic piece 11. The fixing part 14 is integrally formed with the elastic piece 11, and the elastic piece 11 is fixed to the housing 103 of the connector 10 through the fixing part 14.

[0049] Please see Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the claw of the connector 10 provided in the fourth embodiment of this application. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 Another schematic diagram of the chuck's structure.

[0050] In this embodiment, there are at least two claws, spaced apart on the outer side of the housing 103 of the connector 10. That is, at least two elastic pieces 11 and at least two fixing parts 14 are spaced apart on the outer side of the housing 103 of the connector 10. Preferably, the at least two fixing parts 14 form an annulus, which surrounds the outer surface of the housing 103 of the connector 10 to fix the at least two elastic pieces 11 to the housing 103 of the connector 10.

[0051] Please continue reading. Figure 4 , Figure 5 and combined Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the reinforcing ring 12 of the connector 10 of this application. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 Another structural schematic diagram of the reinforcing ring 12 in the middle.

[0052] Specifically, an external thread is provided on the outer surface of the ring formed by at least two fixing parts 14, the reinforcing member 12 is ring-shaped, and the inner surface of the second end of the reinforcing member 12 is provided with an internal thread corresponding to the external thread on the outer surface of the ring. The reinforcing member 12 is screwed onto the ring formed by the fixing body 14 to fix the reinforcing member 12, and the reinforcing member 12 can be moved along the first direction d1 or the second direction by rotating the reinforcing member 12.

[0053] Specifically, the third inclined surface 121 is disposed on the inner surface of the first end of the reinforcing member 12. There is a gap between the inner surface of the first end of the reinforcing member 12 and the elastic piece 11, so that the elastic piece 11 can move toward the gap. When the connector 10 is disengaged from the end to be connected 20, the elastic piece 11 undergoes elastic deformation, causing the elastic piece 11 to shift away from the inner core 201 of the end to be connected 20. Due to the existence of the gap between the elastic piece 11 and the inner surface of the first end of the reinforcing member 12, the elastic piece 11 can shift.

[0054] During component assembly, the claw is first assembled onto the outside of the housing 103 of the connector 10 via the ring formed by the fixing part 14, and then the reinforcing member 12 is screwed onto the outer surface of the ring formed by the fixing part 14 of the claw, thereby realizing the assembly of the claw and the reinforcing member 12.

[0055] Among them, anti-slip teeth are provided on the outer surface of the first end of the reinforcing member 12. The anti-slip teeth are used to prevent slippage when the reinforcing member 12 is rotated.

[0056] Please see Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 and combined Figure 4 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the loosening ring 13 of the connector 10 of this application. Figure 10 yes Figure 9 Another structural schematic diagram of the loosening ring 13 in the middle.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the loosening member 13 is annular, that is, the loosening member 13 is a loosening ring. The loosening ring includes a bending portion 132 and a connecting portion 133, and a limiting portion 1331 is provided at one end of the connecting portion 133. Specifically, the reinforcing ring 12 is provided with a groove 122 recessed toward the inner core 101 of the connector 10. One end of the limiting portion 1331 is connected to the connecting portion 133, and the other end is recessed toward the groove 122 and maintains a certain gap with the bottom of the groove 122. Therefore, the limiting portion 1331 can move within the groove 122 along the first direction d1 and the second direction, so that the loosening ring can move along the first direction d1 and the second direction.

[0058] Specifically, the second inclined surface 131 is disposed on the inner surface of the bent portion 132. When the release ring moves along the second direction, the second inclined surface 131 contacts and slides relative to the first inclined surface 113, causing the protrusion 111 to disengage from the engaging groove 21, thereby disengaging the connector 10 from the end to be connected 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, the end of the first inclined surface 113 is also connected to an abutment portion extending along the first direction. When the release ring moves along the second direction, the abutment portion first contacts the second inclined surface 131, and then the second inclined surface 131 contacts and slides relative to the first inclined surface 113.

[0059] Furthermore, the connector 10 also includes a grounding spring 15, which abuts against the housing 103 of the connector 10 to ground the housing 103 of the connector 10.

[0060] The beneficial technical effects of this embodiment are at least as follows: Based on the third embodiment, the claw in this embodiment is fixed to the outer shell 103 of the connector 10 by the fixing part 14, and the fixing part 14 forms a ring. The claw can be sleeved on the connector 10, which is convenient for assembly and easy for disassembly. The reinforcing ring 12 is screwed to the annular outer surface formed by the fixing part 14. The reinforcing ring 12 can be rotated to move up and down to achieve the function of reinforcing the connection, and the connection between the connector 10 and the end 20 to be connected can be achieved simply and quickly. The loosening ring, by setting the limiting part 1331 in the groove 122 of the reinforcing ring 12, allows the loosening ring to move up and down by pushing it up and down, which can quickly disengage the connector 10 from the end 20 to be connected.

[0061] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application also provides a filter, which includes the connector 10 of any of the above-mentioned items.

[0062] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of this patent application. Any equivalent structural or procedural changes made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
