AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing connectors are difficult to insert and remove using tools, especially in locations that are hard for operators to reach, making it difficult to align the plug and socket and affecting the quick insertion and removal of the connector.
Method used
The design incorporates plugs and push-to-open connectors suitable for tool operation. By setting mating and unlocking mating structures on the plug and socket, the tool's linear motion enables mating and disassembly, while locking is achieved through locking balls, locking grooves, and elastic elements.
Benefits of technology
It enables quick and accurate mating and disassembly of connectors in confined spaces, facilitating tool operation and improving the ease of use and reliability of connectors.

Abstract
This invention relates to a plug and a direct-plug connector suitable for tool operation. The plug includes a plug housing and a locking cap. The locking cap is movably fitted onto the plug housing in a front-to-back direction. The outer peripheral surface of the plug housing has a mating structure to facilitate tool operation during head-to-head insertion. The outer peripheral surface of the locking cap housing has an unlocking structure to facilitate tool operation during head-to-head separation. The direct-plug connector includes a socket and the aforementioned plug. The socket includes a socket housing. The socket housing has a V-shaped guide groove at its mating end and a keyway connecting to the smaller opening end of the V-shaped guide groove. The outer peripheral surface of the plug housing at its mating end has a positioning key. During head-to-head insertion, the positioning key, the V-shaped guide groove, and the keyway guide the mating. This invention, through the design of the mating and unlocking structures, allows for tool operation during connector insertion and separation, facilitating tool-assisted connector insertion and separation in confined installation spaces.
