Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Cables are a general term for items such as optical cables and electrical cables. Cables have many uses, mainly for control installation, equipment connection, and power transmission. They are a common and indispensable item in daily life. During the wiring process, cables need to be connected with the help of adapters. An adapter is an interface converter. It can be an independent hardware interface device that allows hardware or electronic interfaces to be connected to other hardware or electronic interfaces, or it can be an information interface.

[0003] For example, the announcement number is CN108736182B (named "A Cable Adapter Device"), which includes two symmetrically arranged connecting seats. The two connecting seats are detachably and sealed to form an adapter box. Each connecting seat includes a housing with one end open. A mounting groove is fixed on the inner wall of the housing. The opening of the mounting groove is on the same side as the opening of the housing. A conductive block is installed in the mounting groove and abutted by multiple telescopic abutments. Cable insertion holes are opened on both the housing and the mounting groove. The cable passes through two cable insertion holes in sequence and is electrically connected to the conductive block. A clamping mechanism for clamping and fixing the cable is provided in the mounting groove. A backlash mechanism is provided in the housing to prevent the cable from retracting and detaching from the conductive block.

[0004] The aforementioned cable adapter can only clamp and fix the cable during use, but it cannot make adaptive turning adjustments according to the location of the cable. This causes the cable to bend and twist for the adapter, resulting in cable damage. Therefore, we provide a cable connection adapter and its adapter method. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cable connection adapter and its connection method to solve the problem that existing cable adapters mentioned in the background art can only clamp and fix the cable during use, but cannot make adaptive turning adjustments according to the location of the cable, which causes the cable to be bent and twisted for the connection, resulting in cable damage.

[0010] Content slots are provided on the end faces of the first circuit board, the second circuit board and the third circuit board.

A first copper conductor and a second copper conductor are provided between two adjacent content slots. One end of the first copper conductor and the second copper conductor is provided with an end copper ring. Two adjacent end copper rings are in contact with each other.

All nine adjusting screw holes and the through-shaft hole are integrally formed with the connecting ear plate. The connecting shaft extends and passes through the through-shaft hole to the connecting ear plate. The limiting turntable is provided with a positioning screw hole inside.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting pressure plate is connected to the combination slot via a plug-in bottom rod, the plug-in bottom rod is located at the bottom center of the limiting pressure plate, and the limiting pressure plate is attracted to the sleeve ring plate via a magnetic inlay plate.

[0014] Preferably, a connecting crossbar is provided between the connecting plate seat and the sleeve ring plate, and the connecting crossbar is integrally formed with the connecting plate seat and the sleeve ring plate.

[0015] Preferably, the end copper ring has a through hole inside, which is integrally formed with the end copper ring. A ceramic rod is disposed inside two adjacent through holes, and the first copper conductor and the second copper conductor are movably connected to the ceramic rod through the through hole.

[0016] Preferably, both ends of the ceramic rod are provided with limiting end plates, which are integrally formed with the ceramic rod.

[0017] Preferably, a locking screw is installed inside the adjacent positioning screw hole and adjusting screw hole, and the size of the limiting turntable is larger than the diameter of the through shaft hole.

[0018] Preferably, the first circuit board, the second circuit board, and the third circuit board are equipped with rubber insulating sleeves. Both ends of the rubber insulating sleeves are provided with adhesive edges, and the two adhesive edges are respectively glued and fixedly connected to the first cable connector and the second cable connector.

[0019] Preferably, the adjacent first circuit board block, second circuit board block and third circuit board block are electrically connected through a first copper conductor and a second copper conductor.

[0020] Preferably, the conversion method of the cable connection adapter includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: Connect the two cables with different interfaces that need to be converted to the adapter ports of the first cable connector and the second cable connector respectively. The converted signal is transmitted through the first copper conductor and the second copper conductor between the first circuit board, the second circuit board and the third circuit board.

[0022] Step 2: Adjust the second cable connector according to the location of the two cables. The second cable connector is movably connected to the connecting ear plate through the connecting shaft, so that the second cable connector can be adjusted longitudinally with the first cable connector as the base point.

[0023] Step 3: When adjusting the longitudinal rotation, align the positioning screw hole with one of the nine adjusting screw holes, and then install the locking screw inside the positioning screw hole and the adjusting screw hole for positioning, and lock and fix the position of the longitudinal rotation adjustment.

[0024] Step 4: After longitudinal rotation adjustment, adjust the second cable connector laterally, and then adjust the second cable connector laterally by rotating the sleeve ring plate and the extension shaft.

[0025] Step 5: After horizontal rotation adjustment, install the limiting pressure plate into the inside of the combination slot through the plug-in bottom rod, and make the magnet insert plate and the top of the sleeve ring plate adsorb and connect, thereby locking and fixing the position of the horizontal rotation adjustment.

[0026] Step Six: During the horizontal and vertical adjustment process, the copper rings at the two adjacent ends rotate around the ceramic rod as the origin to adapt to each other, always maintaining contact and conduction. Finally, a rubber insulating sleeve is installed between the first cable connector and the second cable connector. Then, the adhesive edges at both ends are glued and fixed to the first cable connector and the second cable connector respectively. The installed rubber insulating sleeve isolates and protects the adapter.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0028] 1. The present invention divides the adapter into three parts by setting a first circuit board, a second circuit board and a third circuit board. The latter two parts can be adjusted longitudinally and laterally respectively, so as to adapt to the position of the two cables. This overcomes the problem that the existing cable adapter can only clamp and fix the cable during use, but cannot adapt to the position of the cable and adjust the direction accordingly, which causes the cable to be bent and twisted for the adapter, resulting in cable damage.

[0029] 2. The transferred signal is transmitted through the first copper conductor and the second copper conductor between the first circuit board, the second circuit board and the third circuit board. During the horizontal and vertical adjustment, the copper rings at the two adjacent ends rotate around the ceramic rod as the origin to adapt to each other, always maintaining contact and conduction, which improves the stability of electrical transmission.
