Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cable connector and its assembly method, particularly to a method that uses fixing elements and locking elements to fix the plug body and terminal block and the plug body and cable together to ensure the overall structural stability and achieve rapid assembly and maintain a high pass rate, thereby optimizing the process and reducing costs. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are general-purpose connecting elements and accessories used in electronic signals and power supply. Their main function is to provide connections between various electronic devices or equipment and to ensure accurate signal transmission. Connectors have evolved into various types depending on the products they are used in, their power rating, and the environment in which they are used. They are widely used in consumer electronics such as computers, laptops, and smartphones, as well as in home appliances, telecommunications and communication equipment, automobiles, industry, transportation, and aviation.

[0003] Furthermore, current conventional multi-core cable connectors provide multiple cores of a cable and corresponding plug terminals to form an electrical connection by soldering. For reference, there is an existing multi-core cable connector in PCT Patent Publication No. WO2009 / 133972A, while this invention relates to an electrical connector for multi-cables. This connector effectively simplifies the connection and disconnection between the plug and socket, even in confined spaces, narrow work areas, or when the socket is fixed to the equipment. Furthermore, it ensures electrical stability by protecting the connector between the plug and cable from peeling or bending under impact, and provides quick connection and disconnection to prevent electric shock and improve electrical reliability. However, while this connector structure solves some existing problems, it is very complex, and its overall protection against rotation and terminal block retraction during insertion and removal is not perfect. This can lead to the connector and cable twisting, causing multiple core wires in the cable to break, become detached, or short-circuit. Moreover, due to the large number of components, existing products suffer from structural complexity, high cost, and difficulty in assembly. Therefore, how to match the assembly and insertion / removal characteristics of electrical connectors and provide a locking structure that can be matched with mating connectors to improve service life has become a problem that those skilled in the art need to consider and solve.

Then, another locking element is locked into the positioning ring on the cable through the locking hole of the plug-in body to form positioning. At this time, the convex fastening part of the insulating collar can be fixed on the outer diameter of the fixed part of the plug-in body to form positioning. Through the above steps, the cable electrical connector can be assembled into a whole, thereby reducing processing steps, assembly procedures and costs. Its advantages are simple structure, stable insertion and removal, reliable positioning, low cost and no twisting and breakage of electrical connector and cable.

Detailed Implementation

[0048] To achieve the above objectives and effects, the technical means, construction, and implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, so as to facilitate a complete understanding.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the cable connector of the present invention includes a plug-in body 1, a terminal group 2, a telescopic sleeve 3, an elastic element 4, and a cable 5 fitted with a positioning ring 6 and an insulating sleeve 7, wherein:

[0050] The connector 1 is formed as a hollow tube with a base 11 at its center. A connector 12 and a fixing part 13 are located on either side of the base 11. A screw hole 110 is provided on the outer diameter surface of the base 11. A downwardly curved stepped stop 1101 is formed between the base 11 and the connector 12. A connector space 120 is provided in the hollow portion of the connector 12. A plurality of axially equidistant guide blocks 121 are formed on the outer diameter, and snap holes 122 are provided on both sides for... The fixing part 13 is used for guiding and positioning when the cable connector of the present invention is inserted and removed. The fixing part 13 has a fixing space 130 that extends through the insertion space 120. The fixing space 130 has an axially extending guide rail 1301 protruding inside and a locking hole 131 passing through its outer diameter. An annular groove 132 is formed between the base 11 and the locking hole 131. The locking hole 131 can be used to lock the locking element 133.

[0051] The terminal assembly 2 includes a terminal block 21 and a plurality of plug-in terminals 22. The terminal block 21 has a plurality of through-holes 210 and a stepped surface 2111 formed on the outer diameter of its mating end 211. A groove 212 is formed on the outer diameter surface of the other side of the mating end 211. A metal retaining ring 214 with upper and lower retaining portions 2141 is integrally molded on the outer diameter of the terminal block 21 at the position of the groove 212. The retaining ring 214 has a cut surface 2142 that is flush with the groove 212 to fix the ring 21. 4. The structure further increases the overall strength after locking. In addition, a guide groove 213 is provided on the bottom, which extends axially and can slide on the guide rail 1301. The plug ends 221 of the multiple plug terminals 22 are inserted and positioned in the receiving hole 210, and the welding ends 222 are exposed on the outside of the groove 212 adjacent to the terminal seat 21. This allows the multiple conductor cores 51 of the cable 5 to be welded to the welding ends 222 of the plug terminals 22 to form an electrical connection and be fixed as one piece. The welding area is then glued with insulating glue to form a glue seat 23.

[0052] The telescopic sleeve 3 is a hollow tube, and the rear side of the through hole 31 of the telescopic sleeve 3 is positioned on the rear edge of the base 11. A limiting space 30 is formed in the hollow part, and a protruding stop part 301 is formed in the inner diameter of the limiting space 30. A through hole 31 is provided on the outer diameter surface. The through hole 31 allows the fixing element 32 to pass through and lock into the screw hole 110 of the base 11 of the plug-in seat 1, and then abut against the cut surface 2142 of the groove 212 of the terminal seat 21 to form a positioning. An elastic element 4 can be placed in the limiting space 30 of the telescopic sleeve 3 and the outer diameter of the plug-in part 12 of the plug-in seat 1, so that the two ends of the elastic element 4 abut against the stop part 1101 of the base 11 and the inner stop part 301 of the telescopic sleeve 3 to form an elastic support state for use.

[0053] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the positioning ring 6 has a cross-section 61, and the positioning ring 6 is sleeved and clamped on the cable 5 to form a positioning. It can be locked into the locking hole 131 of the fixing part 13 of the plug-in body 1 by the locking element 133 and then abutted against the cross-section 61 of the positioning ring 6 to form a positioning. The plug-in body 1 and the cable 5 are locked to the position of the cross-section 61 of the positioning ring 6 by the locking element 133, which can effectively prevent the cable 5 from being displaced when pulled by external force, and thus avoid the loss of the welding position of each plug terminal 22 and the corresponding wire core 51.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the insulating sleeve 7 is fitted onto the outer diameter of the cable 5 and is fixed in the annular groove 132 on the outer diameter of the fixing part 13 of the plug-in body 1 by the annular protrusion fastening part 71 to form a positioning.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the assembly steps of the present invention include: first, inserting a plurality of plug terminals 22 of the terminal group 2 into the receiving holes 210 of the terminal base 21 to form a positioning, and making the soldering ends 222 exposed on the outside of the adjacent groove 212 of the terminal base 21; then, sequentially fitting the positioning ring 6 with the cross section 61 and the insulating sleeve 7 onto the outer diameter of the cable 5, and clamping the positioning ring 6 on the cable 5 to form a positioning; and finally, soldering a plurality of conductor cores 51 to the corresponding plug terminals. A fixing point is formed on the welding end 222 of 22, and an insulating adhesive is used to bond it to the welding area to form a glue seat 23. An elastic element 4 is placed in the limiting space 30 of the telescopic sleeve 3 and on the outer diameter of the insertion portion 12 of the insertion seat 1. The rear side of the through hole 31 of the telescopic sleeve 3 is positioned on the rear edge of the base 11 to form a positioning point. The two ends of the elastic element 4 abut against the stop portion 1101 of the base 11 and the stop portion 301 at the inner diameter of the telescopic sleeve 3, respectively, to form an elastic support state for use. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the terminal group 2, which is formed by the terminal block 21 with multiple plug terminals 22 already assembled, and the cable 5 are pushed into the fixing space 130 of the fixing part 13 of the plug body 1 for positioning. This causes the guide groove 213 of the terminal block 21 to be aligned and pushed along the guide rail 1301 in the fixing space 130 of the plug body 1, and the front mating end 211 of the terminal block 21 is fixed at the front edge of the plug space 120 of the plug body 1. The fixing element 32 can then pass through the through hole 31 of the telescopic sleeve 3 and be locked in through the screw hole 110 of the plug body 1, thereby supporting and fixing the terminal block 21. Positioning is formed on the cross-section 2142 of the fixing ring 214 at the groove 212. The telescopic sleeve 3 can be in a movable telescopic state outside the plug-in part 12 of the plug-in body 1 by the elastic support of the elastic element 4. Then, another locking element 133 is locked into the cross-section 61 of the positioning ring 6 on the cable 5 through the locking hole 131 of the plug-in body 1 to form positioning. At this time, the convex buckling part 71 of the insulating sleeve 7 can be fixed in the annular groove 132 on the outer diameter of the fixing part 13 of the plug-in body 1 to form a fitting positioning. Through the above steps, the cable electrical connector can be assembled into a whole.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, because the present invention fixes both the plug-in body 1 and the terminal block 21 together with the fixing element 32, when the docking connector is used to plug and unplug the cable connector of the present invention, the terminal block 21 will not cause the problem of rotation or backward movement in the plugging space 120 and fixing space 130 in the plug-in body 1 due to repeated plugging and unplugging.

[0057] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown in the figure, it can be clearly seen that the welding ends 222 of the multiple conductor cores 51 of the present invention are fixed on the welding ends 222 of each plug terminal 22, and the glue base 23 is formed by bonding and fixing it to the welding area with insulating glue. The present invention can also be made by molding together at the outer diameter of the annular groove 132 of the fixing part 13 of the plug base body 1 and the outer diameter of the cable 5.

[0058] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown in the figure, it can be clearly seen that the insulating sleeve 7 of the present invention can be directly fixed in the annular groove 132 on the outer diameter of the fixing part 13 of the plug-in body 1 by the fastening part 71 to form a fitting and positioning. Alternatively, it can be molded together with the outer diameter of the annular groove 132 of the fixing part 13 of the plug-in body 1 and the outer diameter of the cable 5. If it is molded as a single piece, the outer diameter of the fixing part 13 will form a high and low step difference, so that the insulating sleeve 7 will form an up and down turning state at its inner diameter after being integrally molded. This can effectively solve the problem of the welding point peeling and breaking when the cable 5 and the plug-in terminal 22 are pulled apart or rotated, thereby strengthening the overall pull-out fixing force. In addition, since the insulating sleeve 7 covers the outside of the fixing part 13 and the locking element 133, it can further prevent the locking element 133 from being accidentally loosened or falling off due to vibration.

[0059] The above description is illustrative only and not restrictive of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, variations or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the claims, and all such modifications, variations or equivalents will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
