TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of energy storage connectors, more particularly to a C-shaped handle lock catch connection structure of an energy storage connector. BACKGROUND
[0002] Energy storage connectors are indispensable devices in most electronic products. They are responsible for transmitting current, voltage or optical signals. They have a very wide range of applications, including aerospace, automotive, industrial, medical and other industries.
[0003] In existing energy storage connectors, a locking structure is provided in the connector to prevent the connector from loosening or falling off, thereby avoiding safety hazards caused by the loosening or falling off of the connector.
[0004] Current energy storage connectors generally use plug-in connection, and the existing locking mechanism is generally on the side of the connector or directly locked with screws, which is not convenient to operate and affects the actual work efficiency. Therefore, the locking structure energy storage connector with patent application number 202222039082.3 uses a limiting button first, then inserts the socket body into the plug-in socket, and then releases the limiting button. The limiting button is reset by the spring force, so that one end of the limiting button is buckled in the limiting slot on the surface of the limiting block to limit and lock the socket body. This avoids the current energy storage connector which generally uses plug-in connection. However, it uses a large number of parts such as springs, which increases the number of parts, production cost, assembly time and affects production efficiency. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a C-shaped handle lock catch connection structure of an energy storage connector. Its structure is simple, and it can achieve elastic locking effect only by a lock catch handle component. It is easy to assemble, greatly reduces assembly time and improves production efficiency.
[0006] The solution to the technical problem of the present application is:
[0007] The application discloses a C-shaped handle lock catch connecting structure of an energy storage connector, which comprises a plug body and a lock catch handle component installed in the plug body.
[0008] An end of the limiting part is formed with a handle part, and an outer end of the handle part extends out of a right side wall of the rear support part.
[0009] A positioning recess hole is formed on a bottom rear wall surface of the installation recess, and an end rear wall surface of a lower part of the C-shaped body is formed with a rearward extending positioning protruding part which is inserted into and cooperates with the positioning recess hole.
[0010] A limiting recess extending upward for guiding the lock catch is formed on a rear wall surface at a right side of the installation recess, and a guiding protruding block is formed on a rear wall surface of the limiting part, which is inserted into the limiting recess, and a left side wall of the guiding protruding block is close to or near an upper left side wall of the limiting recess.
[0011] An upper part of the limiting recess is communicated with and corresponds to the lock catch through hole, and the upper left side wall of the limiting recess is an arc wall surface, and the left side wall of the guiding protruding block is an arc wall surface.
[0012] A left end of a top surface of the top part of the lock catch is lower than a right end, and the top surface of the top part of the lock catch is an arc surface.
[0013] A through groove is formed in a middle part of a right side plate of the installation recess, and the through groove is communicated with a right side of the limiting recess, and an edge cover plate is in front of the C-shaped body, is fixedly connected to the rear support part and covers the C-shaped body, a front through groove extending forward is formed in a middle part of a rear wall surface of a right side plate of the edge cover plate, the front through groove is aligned with and communicated with the through groove, the handle part is inserted into the front through groove and the through groove, and an outer end of the handle part extends out of a right end of the front through groove and the through groove.
[0014] The middle rear wall surface of the edge cover plate is close to or in contact with a front wall surface of the C-shaped body.
[0015] The rear end plug sleeve part of the socket body extends into the sleeve part, and a radially extending edge is formed on the outer wall of the rear end plug sleeve part of the socket body, and the top rear wall surface of the locking part abuts against the lower front wall surface of the radially extending edge.
[0016] The prominent effects of the present application are:
[0017] It does not need spring and other components, and only through the lock catch handle member can the elastic locking effect be realized, the structure is simple, the parts are few, the assembly is simple, the assembly working hours are greatly reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
