TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to an industrial connector convenient to disassemble. BACKGROUND
[0002] The industrial connector is mainly composed of a male end and a female end, and is mainly used for connecting lines. The male end is provided with a female needle, and the female end is provided with a male needle. When the connection is achieved, the male end is connected with the female end, and the male needle and the female needle are connected.
[0003] The application with the application number CN202021820799.6 and the publication number CN213026624U discloses a fixing and mounting structure of an electrical connector pin in the technical field of electrical connectors, which comprises an insulating mounting seat. The insulating mounting seat is provided with a pin hole penetrating the end face. The head end and the middle part of the pin hole are respectively provided with a head end ring table and a middle ring table which are inwardly convex. A positioning snap spring sleeve for fixing the pin to prevent axial movement is coaxially arranged between the head end ring table and the middle ring table. A protrusion is fixedly arranged on the head end face of the middle ring table. The corresponding end part of the positioning snap spring sleeve is provided with a notch matching the protrusion. The head end of the protrusion along the pin hole is smaller than the bottom end fixed with the middle ring table. When the head end face of the middle ring table and the corresponding end face of the positioning snap spring sleeve are in contact, the protrusion and the notch also correspondingly contact. The fixing and mounting structure can effectively improve the service life of the pin mounting seat and prevent the positioning snap spring sleeve from being pulled out and failing.
[0004] The connector in the prior art mainly has the following deficiencies:
[0005] Firstly, when the connector in the prior art is connected, the male end and the female end need to press the pin into the pin mounting hole when mounting the pin (male needle or female needle), and the pin is fixed by the positioning snap spring sleeve. Each time a pin (male needle or female needle) is assembled, it needs to be pressed to realize the assembly of the pin. The assembly is inconvenient and the assembly efficiency is low.
[0006] Secondly, when the connector is installed on the equipment, the general installation method is to install the connector on the installation window of the equipment mounting plate, and then use bolts or screws to fix it, thereby realizing the installation of the connector. However, during installation, multiple screws or bolts need to be tightened, resulting in a time-consuming and labor-intensive installation process and low installation efficiency.
[0007] Thirdly, when the male end and the female end are connected, most of them are connected by the buckle and the groove. After the buckle and the groove are connected, self-locking is realized. During the later maintenance, it is inconvenient to disassemble, and a special tool is needed to loosen the buckle and the groove. Most of the tools used at present are one-word screwdrivers to pry open. When this method is used to pry open, it is easy to cause damage to the male end and the female end. SUMMARY
