Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for signal and power transmission, and in particular to a multi-module combined switching assembly. Background Art

[0002] An adapter box is an external cable that transmits signals to a device. It primarily consists of a box body and a connector socket and a connector plug mounted on the box body for signal transmission. With the demand for miniaturized devices, there is a desire to transmit multiple signals within a smaller space while also being able to change the direction of the signals as needed during transmission. While existing adapter boxes with both a connector socket and a connector plug can transmit multiple signals, they struggle to change the direction of the signals. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the multi-module combined adapter assembly provided by the present invention solves the problem in the prior art that the adapter box cannot change the signal transmission direction.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A multi-module combined adapter assembly is provided, which includes a combined bracket, on which an input integrated adapter box, a state switching module, and an output integrated adapter box are fixedly mounted, which are connected in sequence.

[0006] The two integrated transfer boxes each include a junction box, with a matching number of connector sockets and a matching number of connector plugs provided on different sides of the junction box. The connector plugs and connector sockets on the same junction box are connected via twisted shielded pair conductors arranged in the junction box.

[0007] The connector plug of the input integrated transfer box is connected to the connector socket on the state switching module, and the connector plug of the output integrated transfer box is connected to the connector socket on the other side of the state switching module.

[0013] Furthermore, the connector plug includes a plug housing, the plug housing is provided with two mounting cavities therethrough, a plurality of power contacts are fixedly mounted in one mounting cavity via a mounting plate assembly, and a plurality of signal contacts and at least two radio frequency components are mounted in the other mounting cavity via the mounting plate assembly;

[0014] Both ends of the plug housing are provided with mounting holes, in which rotation identification guide pins are provided. The ends of the rotation identification guide pins located inside the housing are covered with waterproof caps, and the lower surface of the waterproof caps is provided with waterproof sealing rings in contact with the plug housing.

[0015] Furthermore, the connector socket includes a socket housing, the socket housing is provided with a mounting cavity extending therethrough, the mounting cavity being divided into two independent chambers by a partition, a plurality of power contacts and a plurality of signal contacts being fixedly mounted in the two chambers by a mounting plate assembly, and at least two radio frequency components being floatingly mounted on the mounting plate assembly where the signal contacts are located by a floating member;

[0016] At least two annular grooves are provided on the inner surface of the two chambers on the side where they connect to the external plug. A shielding ring is installed in the annular groove away from the mounting plate assembly, and waterproof sealing rings are installed in the remaining annular grooves, and the upper surface of the waterproof sealing ring extends out of the annular groove; a strip groove is provided on the inner surface of the two chambers on the side where they connect to the external plug, and a retaining strip is installed in the strip groove to limit the mounting plate assembly from sliding out of the chamber.

[0017] Furthermore, reinforcement columns are provided at the four corners of the side where the socket housing and the external plug meet. An indexing sleeve is installed in the reinforcement column on one of the diagonals. The outer surface of the top of the indexing sleeve is provided with a plurality of recessed grooves that are recessed toward the center of the sleeve. The reinforcement columns next to the recessed grooves are provided with screws that cooperate with the recessed grooves to limit the rotation of the indexing sleeve.

[0018] The hole on the indexing identification sleeve has a chamfered surface at the opening side and an inclined surface inside; a steel wire thread sleeve is embedded in the reinforcement column on the other diagonal line, and a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the socket housing between the reinforcement columns.

[0019] Furthermore, the RF component includes an RF shell and at least two RF pins fixed in the RF shell by a mounting block. The outer surface of the RF pin is provided with a plurality of bosses and grooves for limiting and fixing the mounting block. The outer surface of the RF shell is provided with an annular boss that cooperates with the floating part to limit the sliding of the RF component in the mounting hole of the mounting plate assembly.

[0020] Furthermore, the mounting block is a two-step shaft, wherein the small end step is a solid body with an RF pin mounting hole provided on it, and the outer surface of the small end step is provided with a plurality of protrusions that cooperate with the RF shell to limit the position; the large end step is an annular body and has a strip groove provided on it to limit the position of the RF shell.

[0021] Furthermore, the floating part is a metal sleeve that fits tightly with the mounting hole on the mounting plate assembly, and one end of the floating part has multiple spring pieces axially inclined toward its center. After the RF component is installed in the floating part, it floats with the mounting plate assembly.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when this solution is used, power, digital, and high-speed signals are connected through the connector socket of the input integrated adapter box. After channel selection by the state switching module, the signal is output through the connector socket of the output integrated adapter box to achieve a change in the direction of signal transmission. This type of conversion component can be used to change the connection direction in a small space.

[0023] This solution ensures that the two adapter boxes can be installed quickly and stably by setting up the combined bracket structure, making the structure more compact. In addition, this structure can arrange the two adapter boxes in an L shape, which is convenient for changing the signal direction.

[0024] The multiple panels of the adapter box of this solution are provided with waterproof conductive composite sealing rings at their contact points. The higher peaks mainly play the role of waterproof sealing, and the lower peaks mainly play the role of conductive shielding; the twisted shielded pair conductors can play a good electromagnetic shielding role in the transmission of internal signals; the mutual cooperation of the twisted shielded pair conductors and the double-peak sealing ring can make the adapter box play a good waterproof, sealing and electromagnetic shielding role.

[0025] When the connector plug is plugged in or out, its rotation identification guide pin can achieve primary guidance, the plug shell can achieve secondary guidance, and the pinholes of each contact piece set inside the plug shell can achieve tertiary guidance, making floating blind insertion of the connector plug possible; the mutual cooperation of the waterproof cap and the waterproof sealing ring on the rotation identification guide pin can ensure the waterproofness of the rotation identification guide pin.

[0026] The connector socket of this solution divides the installation cavity into two independent chambers, one chamber is used for installing the power pin, and the other is used for installing the signal pin and the RF pin. Since the signal and power transmission are arranged in different chambers respectively, the mutual interference between the power supply and the signal can be reduced.

[0027] In addition, this solution also provides a shielding ring in the chamber on the power supply and signal input side. The shielding ring can further shield the signal of the other chamber to ensure that this solution can achieve interference-free mixed transmission of multiple signals such as power, optoelectronics, and radio frequency.

[0028] The waterproof sealing ring provided in this solution can prevent external water and dust from entering the chamber, causing a short circuit in the connector socket and affecting the operation of the equipment; since a part of the sealing ring extends out of the annular groove, it is in flexible contact with the external plug, so that the external plug can have a certain floating range in the longitudinal direction after being plugged in.

[0029] The anti-retraction strip provided in this solution can stably limit the mounting plate assembly in the socket housing, preventing the mounting plate assembly from slipping in the cavity when external vibration occurs, causing the plug connected to it to loosen, thereby interrupting power and signal transmission.

[0052] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to facilitate understanding of the present invention by those skilled in the art. However, it should be clear that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims, these changes are obvious, and all inventions and creations utilizing the concepts of the present invention are protected.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the multi-module combined adapter assembly provided by this solution includes a combined bracket 4, on which the input integrated adapter box, the state switching module and the output integrated adapter box 5 connected in sequence are fixedly installed. The power supply, digital and high-speed signals input by the input integrated adapter box are selected by the channel of the state switching module, and the signals are output through the output integrated adapter box 5.

[0054] During implementation, the combined bracket 4 of this solution preferably includes a base frame 41, with vertical frames 42 provided on both sides of the same side of the base frame 41. A guide groove is provided on the base frame 41 between the two vertical frames 42 to cooperate with the slide rail at the bottom of the input integrated adapter box; the two sides of the input integrated adapter box are respectively fixed to one vertical frame 42;

[0055] A support frame 43 fixedly connected to one of the vertical frames 42 is provided in the middle of the base frame 41, and a mounting frame 44 parallel to the base frame 41 is fixedly installed on the connected support frame 43 and the vertical frame 42. The mounting frame 44 is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the slide rail at the bottom of the output integrated adapter box 5, and one side of the output integrated adapter box 5 is fixed on the support frame 43.

[0056] This solution can ensure that the two adapter boxes are installed quickly and stably by setting the structure of the combined bracket 4, making the structure more compact. In addition, this structure can arrange the two adapter boxes in an L shape, which is convenient for changing the signal direction.

[0057] The combined bracket 4 of this solution is L-shaped and adopts a frame design. It is as light and convenient as possible without affecting the overall rigidity and strength. Handles are designed at both ends to facilitate the transportation of the bracket, and guide grooves are designed at the installation positions of the input and output integrated adapter boxes 5 to facilitate quick alignment during installation.

[0058] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, both integrated adapter boxes include a junction box 2, and a matching number of connector sockets and a matching number of connector plugs 3 are provided on different sides of the junction box 2. The connector plugs 3 and the connector sockets on the same junction box 2 are connected through twisted shielded wires 21 arranged in the junction box 2; the twisted shielded wires 21 can play a good electromagnetic shielding role in the transmission of internal signals.

[0059] The connector plug 3 of the input integrated adapter box is connected to the connector socket on the state switching module, and the connector plug 3 of the output integrated adapter box 5 is connected to the connector socket on the other side of the state switching module.

[0060] When in use, power, digital, and high-speed signals are connected through the connector socket of the input integrated adapter box. After channel selection by the state switching module, the signal is output through the connector socket of the output integrated adapter box 5 to achieve a change in the direction of signal transmission. This type of conversion component can be used to change the connection direction in a small space.

[0061] like Figures 9 to 13 As shown, the connector socket 1 of this scheme includes a socket shell 11, and an installation cavity is opened on the socket shell 11, and the installation cavity is divided into two independent chambers 111 by a partition 14. Each chamber 111 is divided into an upper chamber 1111 and a lower chamber 1112, and the width of the upper chamber 1111 is greater than the width of the lower chamber 1112.

[0062] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, reinforcement columns 12 are provided at the four corners of the socket housing 11 on the side where the socket housing 11 and the external plug are connected. The provision of the reinforcement columns 12 can greatly improve the strength of the socket housing 11, so that the connector socket 1 can be suitable for collision insertion between chassis and cabinets, and play a protective role for the contacts.

[0063] A rotation identification sleeve 121 is installed in the reinforcement column 12 on a diagonal line of the connector housing. The top outer surface of the rotation identification sleeve 121 is provided with a plurality of recessed grooves 1211 recessed toward its center. In this scheme, 8 recessed grooves 1211 are preferably provided; a screw 122 is provided on the reinforcement column 12 next to the recessed groove 1211 to cooperate with the recessed groove 1211 to limit the rotation of the rotation identification sleeve 121.

[0064] The hole on the indexing identification sleeve 121 has a chamfered surface at the opening side and a bevel 1212 is provided inside; a steel wire thread sleeve 123 is embedded in the reinforcement column 12 on the other diagonal line, and a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the socket housing 11 between the reinforcement columns 12.

[0065] The setting of the rotation identification sleeve 121 enables the connector socket 1 to realize 64 (8×8) types of rotation identification; since after the threads of the socket shell 11 are tightened, the threads are prone to slippage, loosening, etc. under strong vibration conditions, the embedded wire thread sleeve 123 improves the strength of the threads, and after locking, it can effectively prevent the threads from loosening, slipping, etc. under strong vibration conditions.

[0066] like Figure 17 As shown, the multiple panels of the junction box 2 are provided with a waterproof conductive composite sealing ring 22 at their contact points. The waterproof conductive composite sealing ring 22 is a double-peak sealing ring, wherein the higher peak is a waterproof sealing body 221, and the lower peak is a conductive shielding body 222; after the waterproof conductive composite sealing ring 22 is arranged with the above structure, the adapter box can have better waterproof, sealing, and electromagnetic shielding effects.

[0067] In order to facilitate the installation of the waterproof conductive composite sealing ring 22, a backing adhesive can be provided on its bottom surface so that it can be bonded at the joint through the backing adhesive; a through hole 223 can also be opened on the body of the waterproof conductive composite sealing ring 22. The through hole 223 can increase the elasticity of the waterproof conductive composite sealing ring 22 to improve the sealing performance of the joint.

[0068] Reference again Figure 4 The junction box 2 of the input integrated adapter box includes a front panel 23, a rear panel 24, a bottom plate 25 and a welding box body 26. The four components of the junction box 2 are all provided with a waterproof conductive composite sealing ring 22 at their seams; the connector socket and the connector plug 3 are respectively arranged on the front panel 23 and the rear panel 24; the outer end surface of the rear panel 24 is provided with a waterproof conductive composite sealing ring 22.

[0069] The welded box body 26 in the integrated input adapter box is constructed from four aluminum panels, with the joints between the panels welded together to ensure waterproofing. An O-ring seals the connector receptacle with the front panel 23. The mating end of the connector receptacle is IPX7 waterproof. Once installed on the front panel 23, the receptacle and box assembly remain waterproof.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the junction box 2 of the output integrated adapter box 5 includes a front panel 23, an upper cover and a welding box body 26. The three components of the junction box 2 are all provided with a waterproof conductive composite sealing ring 22 at their seams; the connector socket and the connector plug 3 are respectively arranged on the front panel 23 and the upper cover.

[0071] In the output integrated adapter box 5: an O-shaped waterproof ring is provided between the connector plug 3 and the back of the waterproof welding box body 26 assembly. Since the connector plug 3 has a floating accessory (rotation identification guide pin 32), when floating at the first level in the horizontal direction, the floating accessory can be used to compensate for the offset position error range of about ±1mm, so that the O-shaped waterproof ring is in effective contact with the box body assembly, which can ensure the seal between the connector shell and the box body assembly. The mating end of the connector plug 3 is IPX7 grade waterproof. After the head seat is mated, the waterproofness of the connector socket and the box body assembly can be solved.

[0072] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connector plug 3 includes a plug housing 31, and two mounting cavities are provided on the plug housing 31. A plurality of power contacts 15 are fixedly mounted in one of the mounting cavities via a mounting plate assembly, and a plurality of signal contacts 16 and at least two RF components 18 are mounted in the other mounting cavity via a mounting plate assembly. The mounting plate assembly can be composed of a single mounting plate or a plurality of plates connected in sequence, as long as the contacts thereon can be stably mounted.

[0073] Both ends of the plug housing 31 are provided with mounting holes, and rotation identification guide pins 32 are provided in the mounting holes. The end of the rotation identification guide pin 32 located in the housing is provided with a waterproof cap 33, and the lower surface of the waterproof cap 33 is provided with a waterproof sealing ring in contact with the plug housing 31.

[0074] In order to ensure the stability of the waterproof cap 33 after installation, the present solution preferably sets the waterproof cap 33 after the anti-loosening spring pad is installed on the indexing identification guide nail 32.

[0075] An O-shaped waterproof ring is provided between the connector plug 3 and the back of the adapter box. Since the indexing identification guide pin 32 of the connector plug 3 is equivalent to a floating accessory, when floating at the first level in the lateral direction, the floating accessory can be used to compensate for the position error of about ±1mm, so that the O-shaped waterproof ring is in effective contact with the rear plate, which can ensure the seal between the plug housing 31 and the adapter box. The mating end of the connector plug 3 is IPX7 grade waterproof. After the connector plug 3 is mated, the waterproofness of the connector plug 3 and the adapter box can be solved.

[0076] Reference again Figure 10 and Figure 13 A plurality of power contacts 15 and a plurality of signal contacts 16 are fixedly mounted in the two chambers 111 through the mounting plate assembly 13 , and at least two RF components 18 are floatingly mounted on the mounting plate assembly 13 where the signal contacts 16 are located through the floating member 17 .

[0077] In this solution, by providing a partition 14, the power contacts 15, signal contacts 16, and RF components 18 are located in separate chambers 111, thereby preventing interference when multiple signals are transmitted together. In this solution, the connector receptacle and connector plug are preferably each equipped with 24 12# power contacts 15, 81 22# signal contacts 16, and two 8# quad-coaxial contacts (RF contacts). All contacts utilize straight wire termination.

[0078] At least two annular grooves are provided on the inner surface of the two chambers 111 on the side where they connect to the external plug. A shielding ring 112 is installed in the annular groove away from the mounting plate assembly 13. The shielding ring 112 can further shield the signal of the other chamber 111 to ensure that the connector socket 1 of this scheme can realize interference-free mixed transmission of multiple signals such as power, optoelectronics, and radio frequency.

[0079] A waterproof sealing ring 113 is installed in the remaining annular groove, and the upper surface of the waterproof sealing ring 113 extends out of the annular groove; the waterproof sealing ring 113 can prevent external water and dust from entering the chamber 111, causing the connector socket 1 to short-circuit and affecting the operation of the equipment; since a part of the sealing ring extends out of the annular groove, it is in flexible contact with the external plug, so that the external plug can have a certain floating range in the longitudinal direction after being plugged in.

[0080] The inner surfaces of the two chambers 111, facing away from the external plug, are provided with strip-shaped slots. These slots contain retaining bars 114 that prevent the mounting plate assembly 13 from sliding out of the chambers 111. These retaining bars 114 effectively prevent the mounting plate assembly 13 from sliding out of the chambers during plug and socket mating, ensuring reliable mating of the headers.

[0081] When the connector socket 1 of this solution is in use, it can realize three-level guidance and floating blind insertion. The three-level guidance is as follows: the reinforcement column 12 realizes the first-level guidance; the guide surface set at the end of the socket shell 11 realizes the second-level guidance; the pinholes of the power contact 15, signal contact 16 and radio frequency contact installed on the mounting plate assembly 13 realize the third-level guidance.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting plate assembly 13 includes a first mounting plate 131, a second mounting plate 132 and a third mounting plate 133 connected in sequence, the first mounting plate 131 is installed in the upper cavity 1111 of the chamber 111, and covers the entire bottom surface of the upper cavity 1111, and is partially located in the socket housing 11 and the partition 14.

[0083] The first mounting plate 131 of the above structure can fully seal the two upper cavities 1111 to prevent external water from entering the interior of the connector; in addition, in this solution, the first mounting plate 131 is preferably made of a flexible material, so that when the connector plug collides with the connector socket 1, it can play a certain buffering role to protect the connector plug and the connector socket 1.

[0084] The second mounting plate 132 is located in the lower cavity 1112 of the chamber 111, and a ring-shaped platform 1331 is provided on its edge for limiting engagement with the inner surface of the socket housing 11, and a plurality of slots are provided on its lower surface; the surface of the third mounting plate 133 that engages with the second mounting plate 132 is provided with an extension portion embedded in the slot of the second mounting plate 132, and the edge of the lower surface of the third mounting plate 133 is provided with a ring-shaped platform 1331 that engages with the retaining strip 114.

[0085] Reference again Figure 10 The anti-retreat strip 114 includes a strip block 1141 and a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 1142 integrally formed with the strip block 1141. The strip block 1141 is installed in the strip slot and partially extends out of the strip slot to cooperate with the annular platform 1331 on the third mounting plate 133; an arc-shaped groove is opened on the outer surface of the lower part of the annular platform 1331 of the third mounting plate 133, and the arc-shaped protrusion 1142 is embedded in the arc groove.

[0086] The anti-recoil strip 114 of the above-mentioned structure is simple in structure and easy to process. The structure of the extended strip groove cooperates with the annular platform 1331 to achieve limiting. The cooperation between the arc-shaped protrusion 1142 and the arc-shaped groove increases the depth of the anti-recoil strip 114 in the third mounting plate 133 and increases the contact surface, so that even under a larger insertion force, the cavity will not be withdrawn.

[0087] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the RF component 18 includes an RF shell 181 and at least two RF pins 182 fixed in the RF shell 181 by mounting blocks 183. The outer surface of the RF pin 182 is provided with a plurality of bosses and grooves for limiting and fixing with the mounting block 183 to improve the stability of the RF pin 182 after installation, and prevent the RF component 18 from loosening due to external vibration, which affects the stable transmission of the RF signal.

[0088] An annular boss 1811 is provided on the outer surface of RF housing 181, which cooperates with floating member 17 to restrict the sliding of RF assembly 18 within the mounting hole of mounting plate assembly 13. The interaction between floating member 17 and annular boss 1811 not only allows RF assembly 18 to float within the mounting hole of mounting plate assembly 13 but also prevents RF assembly 18 from retreating, ensuring reliable RF transmission.

[0089] like Figure 16As shown, the mounting block 183 is a two-step shaft, wherein the small end step is a solid body with a mounting hole for the RF pin 182 provided thereon. The solid body structure can support the middle part of the RF pin 182 and improve the stability of the installation; the large end step is an annular body, which can provide a certain floating space during insertion and ensure accurate alignment during blind insertion.

[0090] The outer surface of the small end step is provided with multiple bumps that engage with the RF housing 181; the large end step is provided with a strip groove that engages with the RF housing 181. The arrangement of the bumps and strip groove ensures the stability of the mounting block 183 fixed in the RF housing 181, further ensuring the stability of the RF pin 182.

[0091] Reference again Figure 15 The floating part 17 is a metal sleeve 171 that fits tightly with the mounting hole on the mounting plate assembly 13. One end of the metal sleeve 17 has multiple spring pieces 172 axially inclined toward its center. After the RF component 18 is installed in the floating part 17, it floats with the mounting plate assembly 13.

[0092] The floating part 17 of the above structure can realize the installation of the RF component 18 within a larger diameter size range. Since the spring piece 172 is a thin sheet with greater elasticity, the stability of the RF components 18 of different diameters after installation can be ensured; furthermore, when blind plugging is performed, the elastic force provided by the spring piece 172 can make the RF component 18 float within a certain size range to achieve the stability of the blind plugging of the RF component 18; after the spring piece 172 cooperates with the annular boss 1811 of the RF shell 181, a barb-like connection structure is formed, which can limit the situation where the RF component 18 retreats from the cavity.

[0093] like Figure 13 As shown, the socket housing 11 has an annular groove at the intersection of the outer wall edge of the mounting cavity, away from the side of the external plug. A waterproof sealing ring 113 is installed in this annular groove. The waterproof sealing ring 113 ensures the sealing of the mounting position of the socket housing 11 and prevents water from entering the equipment where the connector socket 1 is installed.

[0094] In summary, this solution can achieve a change in signal transmission direction when transmitting power, digital, and high-speed signals. The conversion component of this structure can be suitable for changing the connection direction in a small space.
