Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable connection technology, and more specifically, to a cable connector. Background Technology

[0002] Connecting two cables electrically often requires peeling back the insulation layers, connecting the conductors, and then covering them with insulating material. This process is rather cumbersome. Therefore, cable connectors have emerged on the market to provide a more convenient way to connect two cables electrically.

[0003] Generally, the two sets of cables are a power supply cable connected to the power source and a power cable connected to the electrical equipment. In the prior art, cable connectors can only electrically connect the end of the power cable to the middle of the power supply cable, allowing the electrical equipment to draw power from the power supply cable through the power cable. They cannot connect the middle of the power cable to the middle of the power supply cable, allowing both ends of the power cable to be connected to different electrical equipment.

[0004] Furthermore, in the prior art, when one end of the power cable is electrically connected to the cable connector, the insulation layer needs to be peeled off before it can be connected to the cable connector, which makes the operation process rather cumbersome.

[0005] In view of this, the researchers have filed this application after studying the existing technology. It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the present invention, and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to represent selected embodiments of the invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0034] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0035] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Depend on Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cable connector, which includes a main body component 4, a first clamping component 1, and a second clamping component 8.

[0038] The main body component 4 includes an insulating body 7 and a conductive body 6. The insulating body 7 is provided with a first receiving groove 13 and a second receiving groove 15 for accommodating a cable. The conductive body 6 is disposed on the insulating body 7, and its two ends extend outward from the bottom of the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15, respectively. Both ends of the conductive body 6 are sharp structures.

[0039] The first clamping assembly 1 includes a first clamping member 3 that is movable up and down in the first receiving groove 13, and a first operating member 2 disposed in the insulating body 7 for driving the first clamping member 3 close to the bottom of the first receiving groove 13.

[0040] The second clamping assembly 8 includes a second clamping member 9 that is movable up and down in the second receiving groove 15, and a second operating member 10 disposed in the insulating body 7 for driving the second clamping member 9 close to the bottom of the second receiving groove 15.

[0041] The two sets of cables can respectively extend into the first clamping channel between the first clamping member 3 and the first receiving groove 13, and the second clamping channel between the second clamping member 9 and the second receiving groove 15. The first operating member 2 and the second operating member 10 can respectively abut against the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 9, so that the two sets of cables abut against the two ends of the conductive body 6, thereby piercing the insulation layer of the cables at both ends of the conductive body 6 to conduct the two sets of cables.

[0042] Specifically, the insulating body 7 is provided with a first receiving groove 13 and a second receiving groove 15; the two ends of the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15 in the longitudinal direction are through structures to facilitate the placement of cables. The first clamping member 3 can move up and down within the first receiving groove 13 to move away from or near the bottom of the first receiving groove 13. The first operating member 2 is movably disposed on the insulating body 7 to drive the first clamping member 3 to move up and down within the first receiving groove 13. In this embodiment, the first operating member 2 is connected to the insulating body 7 through a threaded structure, and the first clamping member 3 is rotatably disposed on the first operating member 2. The first clamping member 3 is moved up and down by rotating the first operating member 2. The second clamping member 9 and the second operating member 10 are positioned in the same way as the first clamping member 3 and the first operating member 2, and will not be described again here.

[0043] A conductive body 6 is disposed on an insulating body 7. Both ends of the conductive body 6 extend into the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15 from their bottoms, respectively. Both ends of the conductive body 6 are sharp structures. Thus, the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15 are electrically connected by the conductive body 6.

[0044] The first operating member 2 and the second operating member 10 are used to drive the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 9 closer to the bottom of the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15, respectively. This causes the cable to abut against the end of the conductive body 6. The end of the conductive body 6 pierces the insulation sheath of the cable, thereby making contact with the inner core of the cable.

[0045] The cable connector of the present invention has a simple structure. The first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 9 can be directly mounted on the first operating member 2 and the second operating member 10, respectively. This results in the entire cable connector consisting of only three parts: the main body assembly 4, the first clamping assembly 1, and the second clamping assembly 8. This significantly reduces the number of parts and makes it more portable during use.

[0046] Furthermore, during use, the two cables can be secured sequentially and methodically, preventing a chaotic and disorganized process. It eliminates the need to secure both cables simultaneously, reducing the risk of cables slipping out of the receiving slot due to twisting or improper alignment. In particular, the pressure applied to each set of cables can be adjusted independently, resulting in better connection performance even when the cables on both sides have different specifications.

[0047] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15 are arranged back to back. The insulating body 7 includes a partition 21 for forming the bottom of the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15. The partition 21 is provided with a first through hole 20. The conductive body 6 is disposed in the first through hole 20.

[0048] "Facing opposite directions" means that the openings of the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15 face opposite directions. Specifically, the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the insulating body 7. The middle position of the insulating body 7 is a plate-like structure. The two sides of the plate-like structure are the bottoms of the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15, respectively. The plate-like structure is the partition 21. The conductive body 6 is disposed on the plate-like structure. The conductive body 6 is a columnar geometric body with conical ends, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and has low cost.

[0049] Preferably, the main body component 4 has two conductive bodies 6, which are arranged one to the left and one to the right along the width direction of the receiving groove and one to the front and one to the back along the length direction of the receiving groove, so that the distance between the two conductive bodies 6 is maximized, thereby meeting the safety requirements for creepage distance and clearance.

[0050] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the main body component 4 further includes a fixing seat 5. The fixing seat 5 is used to fix the conductive body 6 onto the insulating body 7. The conductive body 6 is provided with a positioning protrusion 23. A receiving cavity is formed between the fixing seat 5 and the partition 21. The receiving cavity is used to accommodate the positioning protrusion 23, thereby fixing the conductive body 6. Specifically, the first through hole 20 is provided with a countersunk hole for accommodating the positioning protrusion 23. The positioning protrusion 23 is provided with a chamfer.

[0051] In this embodiment, a positioning protrusion 23 is provided in the middle of the conductive body 6. When the conductive body 6 passes through the first through hole 20, the positioning protrusion 23 is embedded in the countersunk hole of the first through hole 20. The fixing seat 5 is fitted onto the conductive body 6 and fits against the surface of the partition 21. The partition 21 and the fixing seat 5 respectively wrap around the positioning protrusion 23 from both sides. Thus, the conductive body 6 is fixed on the insulating body 7. And the two ends of the conductive body 6 are exposed in the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15 respectively.

[0052] In other embodiments, the conductive body 6 can be fixed to the insulating body 7 by an interference fit, without the need for the fixing seat 5. Alternatively, the conductive body 6 can be directly fixed to the first through hole 20 by a threaded structure or other means. This invention does not specifically limit how the conductive body 6 is fixed to the insulating body 7.

[0053] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the fixing base 5 is fixed to the insulating body 7 by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0054] The snap-fit ​​structure includes a slide 19 and a first snap-fit ​​protrusion 18. The slide 19 is disposed on the side wall of the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15, and connects the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15. The first snap-fit ​​protrusion 18 is disposed on the slide 19. The first snap-fit ​​protrusion 18 has a first guide surface inclined on one side along the direction of the slide 19.

[0055] The latching structure also includes a second latching protrusion 17 located around the periphery of the fixed base 5. The second latching protrusion 17 is adapted to the slide rail 19. The second latching protrusion 17 is provided with a second guide surface that mates with the first guide surface.

[0056] In this embodiment, the widths of the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15 are the same. That is, the sidewalls of the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 15 are on the same plane. A slide 19 is provided along the sidewall, and a first snap-fit ​​protrusion 18 is provided in the slide 19. The insulating body 7 is an injection molded part. During production, only two opposing molding protrusions need to be provided on the mold, with a molding gap between them. It can be understood that the slide 19 is formed at the location of the molding protrusion, and the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 18 is formed at the location of the molding gap. The structure of the mold for producing the insulating body 7 is simpler, greatly reducing the cost of the mold, i.e., the production cost.

[0057] The structure of the slide rail 19 and the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 18 not only saves materials during production, but also simplifies subsequent assembly. Simply insert the conductive body 6 into the first through hole 20, and then press the fixing seat 5 onto the insulating body 7 to complete the fixation. This further reduces costs.

[0058] The first latching protrusion 18 has an inclined first guide surface on the side away from the bottom of the receiving groove, and the second latching protrusion 17 has an inclined second guide surface on the side near the bottom of the receiving groove. When the fixing base 5 is pressed, the first guide surface and the second guide surface abut against each other, so that the first latching protrusion 18 can more smoothly latch onto the second latching protrusion 17.

[0059] Specifically, in other embodiments, protrusions and grooves can be directly provided on the sidewalls of the fixing seat 5 and the receiving groove, respectively, to form a snap-fit ​​structure, without the need for the slide rail 19. Alternatively, the fixing seat 5 can be fixed to the insulating body 7 by means of glue, ultrasonic welding, etc. This invention does not specifically limit how the fixing seat 5 is fixed to the insulating body 7. Directly providing grooves requires setting sliders on the mold, which is costly.

[0060] Preferably, the partition 21 is provided with a fixing groove 22 for receiving the fixing seat 5. The fixing seat 5 is embedded in the fixing groove 22 so that the bottom surface of the receiving groove remains flat, which facilitates the placement of the cable.

[0061] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first operating member 2 and / or the second operating member 10 cooperate with each other through a threaded structure and an insulating body 7 to drive the first clamping member 3 and / or the second clamping member 9 to approach or move away from the bottom of the first receiving groove 13 and / or the second receiving groove 15.

[0062] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the insulating body 7 is provided with external threads. The first operating member 2 and / or the second operating member 10 is provided with internal threads. The first operating member 2 and / or the second operating member 10 are fitted onto the insulating body 7 so as to drive the first clamping member 3 and / or the second clamping member 9 through the threaded structure.

[0063] Preferably, the first receiving groove 13 and / or the second receiving groove 15 are disposed through the length of the groove. The insulating body 7 is provided with a first connecting portion 14 and a second connecting portion 16 on both sides of the first receiving groove 13 and / or the second receiving groove 15 in the width direction. The first operating member 2 and / or the second operating member 10 are engaged with the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16 via a threaded structure.

[0064] like Figure 3 ,and Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the insulating body 7 has a first connecting portion 14 and a second connecting portion 16 extending along the depth direction of the receiving groove on both sides. An opening is formed between the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16 to enclose the receiving groove. The operating member is fitted onto the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16. The openings on both sides of the insulating body 7 are symmetrically arranged.

[0065] The clamping member has an abutment surface extending outward along the length of the receiving groove. The diameter of the abutment surface is larger than the outer diameter of the first connecting part 14 and the second connecting part 16, so that it can abut against the operating member. The clamping member is also provided with a latch extending along the depth of the receiving groove. The latch can be fastened onto the operating member. Through the interaction of the latch and the abutment surface, the operating member can only rotate and cannot move up and down on the clamping member.

[0066] That is, the first operating member 2 is rotatably configured on the first clamping member 3. The second operating member 10 is rotatably configured on the second clamping member 9. This results in the entire cable connector consisting of three independent parts: the main body assembly 4, the first clamping assembly 1, and the second clamping assembly 8. This facilitates assembly and storage.

[0067] Because the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16 are provided with external threads, their outer surfaces are arc-shaped. Preferably, the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16 are provided with a thin plate structure, such that a groove is formed on the side facing the receiving groove. The clamping member is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion at the position corresponding to the groove, thereby restricting the degree of freedom of the clamping member to move horizontally in the receiving groove.

[0068] In other embodiments, a limiting structure may be provided between the first connecting portion 14 and / or the second connecting portion 16 and the clamping member to restrict the degree of freedom of the clamping member in the horizontal direction. This invention does not specifically limit this aspect.

[0069] Preferably, the partition 21 has a plate-like structure, with a first sidewall 26 and a second sidewall 27 extending along its thickness direction. A first receiving groove 13 and a second receiving groove 15 are formed between the first sidewall 26 and the second sidewall 27. Two slides 19 and the first latching protrusion 18 are provided on both the first sidewall 26 and the second sidewall 27.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 14 is disposed on the side of the first sidewall 26 away from the receiving groove. The second connecting portion 16 is disposed on the side of the second sidewall 27 away from the receiving groove. A first gap is formed between the first connecting portion 14 and the first sidewall 26. A second gap is formed between the second connecting portion 16 and the second sidewall 27. On both sides of the clamping member in the width direction, a first arc-shaped protrusion capable of being inserted into the first gap and a second arc-shaped protrusion capable of being inserted into the second gap are respectively provided. A second through hole for the first sidewall 26 to pass through is provided in the middle of the first arc-shaped protrusion. A third through hole for the second sidewall 27 to pass through is provided in the middle of the second arc-shaped protrusion.

[0071] Understandably, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16 are fitted onto the clamping member. The first arc-shaped protrusion of the clamping member is fitted onto the first sidewall 26, and the second arc-shaped protrusion is fitted onto the second sidewall 27. Through multiple fittings, the clamping member becomes more stable in the receiving groove and is less prone to shaking. This has significant practical implications.

[0072] Furthermore, a first gap is formed between the first connecting portion 14 and the first sidewall 26. A second gap is provided between the second connecting portion 16 and the second sidewall 27. The gaps do not require material filling, greatly saving production materials. Additionally, the first sidewall 26 and the second sidewall 27 possess a certain degree of elasticity. This allows the fixing seat 5 to move along the slide 19, causing the second snap-fit ​​protrusion 17 to move from one side of the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 18 to the other side, thereby forming a snap-fit ​​structure fixed to the insulating body 7.

[0073] In other embodiments, the first operating member 2 and the second operating member 10 may be fasteners such as bolts, used to fix the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 9 to the insulating body 7. The present invention does not limit the specific structure of the first operating member 2, the second operating member 10, the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 9.

[0074] like Figure 10 As shown, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping member 3 and / or the second clamping member 9 are provided with a mounting groove 25 for accommodating a cable, and limiting protrusions 24 located on both sides of the opening of the mounting groove 25. The mounting groove 25 is provided through its length direction. The limiting protrusions 24 extend from both sides of the opening of the mounting groove 25 along the width direction of the mounting groove 25 to prevent the cable from coming out of the mounting groove 25.

[0075] Preferably, the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 9 have the same structure. The two sides of the first clamping assembly 1 extend upwards to form a mounting groove 25 in the middle for accommodating the cable. Limiting protrusions 24 extending towards the center are provided on both sides of the mounting groove 25. When the cable is inserted into the mounting groove 25, it moves along the depth direction of the mounting groove 25 and is held in place by the limiting protrusions 24. This prevents the cable from coming out of the mounting groove 25. In other words, when using the cable connector, the cable can be first fixed to the clamping member, and then the clamping member can be fixed to the insulating body 7. This achieves cable fixation and connection.

[0076] Understandably, since the first clamping assembly 1 and the second clamping assembly 8 of the present invention respectively cooperate with the main body assembly 4, the main body assembly 4 needs to be provided with an anti-slip structure 12 for applying torque by hand or external tool.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the insulating body 7 is provided with a clamping surface 11 for clamping external objects. Preferably, the middle section of the insulating body 7 is configured as a parallelogram structure, thereby enabling clamping from different angles.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the insulating body 7 is arc-shaped and is provided with an anti-slip structure 12.

[0079] In other embodiments, the anti-slip structure 12 may be omitted, and rotational force may be provided to each other by the counter-rotation of the first clamping assembly 1 and the second assembly. The present invention does not specifically limit the shape of the insulating body 7.

The first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 9 have the same structure, and the first operating member 2 and the second operating member 10 have the same structure. During production, only five parts need to be manufactured: the insulating body 7, the conductive body 6, the fixing base 5, the clamping member, and the operating member. This greatly reduces the number of molds required for producing cable connectors, significantly saving costs and having significant practical value.

[0081] In other embodiments, the first clamping component 1 and the second clamping component 8 may have the same structure but different sizes to accommodate cables of different specifications. The present invention does not specifically limit this.

[0082] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
