Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rectangular connector disassembly fixtures, and particularly to a rectangular connector disassembly fixture. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, airborne displays are becoming more and more powerful; however, airborne displays require a lot of debugging work before leaving the factory, which requires frequent plugging and unplugging of the rectangular connector plugs and sockets of the airborne displays.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as Figure 1 As shown, the plug has a first mounting surface, the plane of which extends perpendicularly to the extension direction of the socket on the plug. The socket has a second mounting surface, the plane of which extends perpendicularly to the extension direction of the pin on the socket. That is, the plane of which extends parallel to the plane of which extends parallel to the plane of which extends perpendicularly to the insertion and removal directions of the plug and socket. The contact conductive part of the pin is usually made of optical fiber. During the debugging stage of the plug and socket, the plug and socket need to be inserted and removed repeatedly.

[0004] In the existing technology, during the process of the plug and socket changing from a mutually inserted state to a mutually separated state, it is usually done by the staff manually pulling them out. This can easily cause an acute angle to be formed between the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface, that is, the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface are not parallel to each other. This causes an angle between the extension direction of the pin and the extension direction of the socket. The pin is easily broken by the shear force of the socket wall.

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem in the prior art is the lack of a rectangular connector disassembly fixture that keeps the first mounting surface of the plug and the second mounting surface of the socket parallel to each other during the process of separating the plug and socket of the rectangular connector. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the lack of a rectangular connector disassembly fixture in the prior art that maintains the first mounting surface of the plug and the second mounting surface of the socket parallel to each other during the separation of the plug and socket of the rectangular connector, the present invention provides a rectangular connector disassembly fixture.

[0007] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A rectangular connector disassembly fixture,

[0009] Includes: first component, second component, two joysticks, and adapter component;

[0010] Each rocker arm is hinged to the first component and the second component respectively. The two rocker arms, together with the first component and the second component, form a four-bar linkage mechanism with a parallelogram deformation mode.

[0011] One of the rockers in the four-bar linkage is equipped with a force-adding rod; one end of the force-adding rod is connected to one of the rockers, and the other end of the force-adding rod extends outside the outline of the four-bar linkage.

[0012] The first component has a first contact surface, which is a plane; the connecting component has a second contact surface, which is a plane; there are two four-bar linkages, which are arranged parallel to each other; the connecting component is mounted on the two first components; and the connecting component and the first components form a surface-to-surface contact through the first and second contact surfaces.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes connecting components, in which the force-adding rod of one four-bar linkage is connected to the force-adding rod of another four-bar linkage via connecting components.

[0014] Furthermore, there are multiple connecting parts, which are arranged in parallel to each other.

[0015] Furthermore, each joystick is hinged to the first component and the second component via a damping hinge.

[0016] Furthermore, the adapter includes a connector and two adapters, with the connector disposed between the two adapters;

[0017] The adapter includes a first mounting part and a second mounting part, wherein a second contact surface is disposed in the first mounting part, and the second mounting part is provided with a plurality of mounting holes.

[0018] Furthermore, the first contact surface is located on the side of the first component facing the first mounting portion;

[0019] The second contact surface is located on the side of the first mounting portion facing the first component.

[0020] Furthermore, the adapter also includes a first reinforcing rib, which is connected to the connector and the second mounting part respectively.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a second reinforcing rib, which is disposed between the force-adding rod and the rocker arm connected to the force-adding rod.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a base plate; the second component of any four-bar linkage is detachably connected to the base plate.

[0023] Furthermore, several through holes are provided on the base plate.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:

[0025] In summary, the rectangular connector disassembly fixture of this invention includes a four-bar linkage mechanism with a parallelogram deformation mode, and a force-applying rod for deforming the four-bar linkage mechanism. In use, the force-applying rod deforms the four-bar linkage mechanism, thereby separating the plug and socket. Furthermore, during the separation process, the parallelogram deformation mode of the four-bar linkage mechanism ensures that the first mounting surface of the plug and the second mounting surface of the socket remain parallel. Therefore, this invention solves the technical problem in the prior art of requiring a new rectangular connector disassembly fixture that maintains the parallelism of the first mounting surface of the plug and the second mounting surface of the socket during the separation of the plug and socket of the rectangular connector.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0033] like Figures 2-3 As shown, a rectangular connector disassembly fixture according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes: a first component 1, a second component 2, two rocker arms 3, and a connecting component 4; each rocker arm 3 is hinged to the first component 1 and the second component 2 respectively, and the two rocker arms 3 together with the first component 1 and the second component 2 form a four-bar linkage 18 with a parallelogram deformation mode; one rocker arm 3 of the four-bar linkage 18 is provided with a force-applying rod 8; one end of the force-applying rod 8 is connected to one of the rocker arms 3, and the other end of the force-applying rod 8 extends to the outside of the outline of the four-bar linkage 18; the first component 1 is provided with a first contact surface 5, which is a plane; the connecting component 4 is provided with a second contact surface 6, which is a plane; there are two four-bar linkages 18, which are arranged parallel to each other, and the connecting component 4 is mounted on the two first components 1, and the connecting component 4 and the first component 1 form a surface-to-surface contact through the first contact surface 5 and the second contact surface 6.

[0034] The shape of the first component 1 is not limited. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the first component 1 is an approximately flat plate structure.

[0035] The shape of the second component 2 is not limited. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the second component 2 is an approximately flat plate structure.

[0036] The first component 1 is provided with a planar first contact surface 5, and the connecting component 4 is provided with a planar second contact surface 6. The number of second contact surfaces 6 on the connecting component 4 is two symmetrically arranged, and any one of the second contact surfaces 6 forms a surface-to-surface contact with one of the first contact surfaces 5 of the first component; preferably, a surface-to-surface sliding contact is formed between the first contact surface 5 and the second contact surface 6.

[0037] The two rocker arms 3 together with the first component 1 and the second component 2 form a four-bar linkage 18 with a parallelogram deformation mode, that is, the four-bar linkage 18 of this embodiment. During deformation, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are always kept parallel to each other, and the two rocker arms 3 are kept parallel to each other. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second contact surface 6 on the adapter 4, the first contact surface 5 of the first component 1, and the plate surface direction of the second component 2 are all parallel to each other.

[0038] The purpose of the force-applying rod 8 is to apply an external force to the deformation of the four-bar linkage 18. When the force-applying rod 8 extends to one end outside the outline of the four-bar linkage 18 and is subjected to downward pressure, the force-applying rod 8 can drive the rocker arm 3 connected to the force-applying rod 8 to swing, thereby causing the four-bar linkage 18 to deform.

[0039] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the adapter component 4 is mounted on two first components 1. The adapter component 4 is used to establish a connection between the connector plug and the first component 1 of the four-bar linkage mechanism. In this embodiment, preferably, the adapter component 4 includes a connecting body 9 and two adapter bodies 10, with the connecting body 9 disposed between the two adapter bodies 10. The adapter body 10 includes a first mounting part 11 and a second mounting part 12, wherein the second contact surface 6 is disposed on the first mounting part 11, and the second mounting part 12 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 16. The connector plug and the mounting holes 16 can be connected to each other by fasteners, which can be screws or bolts. Further, in this embodiment, after the rectangular connector disassembly fixture is assembled, the first contact surface 5 is disposed on the side of the first component 1 facing the first mounting part 11; the second contact surface 6 is disposed on the side of the first mounting part 11 facing the first component 1.

[0040] like Figures 2-5 As shown, when using the rectangular connector disassembly fixture in this embodiment, the four-bar linkage is placed on the mounting plate of the socket, and a part of the adapter 4 is connected to the plug. The surface of the socket mounting plate is parallel to the plane containing the second mounting surface. Along the insertion / removal direction, the end of the force-applying rod 8 extending outside the contour of the four-bar linkage 18 is pressed down, causing the force-applying rod 8 to drive the rocker arm 3... Figure 3The perspective swings clockwise, and the rocker arm 3 pushes the first component 1 upward. The first component 1 drives the adapter component 4 to move upward together. The first mounting surface of the plug, the second mounting surface of the socket, the first contact surface 5, and the second contact surface 6 all remain parallel. At the same time, during this process, along the plane extension direction of the first mounting surface, the outline of the socket limits the outline of the plug, preventing the plug from moving along the plane extension direction of the first mounting surface. This causes the plug to drive the adapter component 4, allowing the adapter component 4 to slide on the first component through the first contact surface 5 and the second contact surface 6, that is, the first contact surface 5 and the second contact surface 6 slide relative to each other. In other words, using the rectangular connector disassembly fixture of this embodiment, the plug is separated from the socket, and the first mounting surface of the plug and the second mounting surface of the socket are kept parallel along the insertion and removal direction. In other words, using the rectangular connector disassembly fixture of this embodiment to separate the plug from the socket ensures that the first mounting surface of the plug and the second mounting surface of the socket remain parallel during the separation process.

[0041] In summary, the rectangular connector disassembly fixture in this embodiment includes a four-bar linkage mechanism with a parallelogram deformation mode, and a force-applying rod 8 for deforming the four-bar linkage mechanism. In use, the force-applying rod 8 deforms the four-bar linkage mechanism, thereby separating the plug and socket from each other. Furthermore, during the separation process, the deformation mode of the parallelogram of the four-bar linkage mechanism ensures that the first mounting surface of the plug and the second mounting surface of the socket remain parallel. Therefore, this embodiment solves the technical problem existing in the prior art that requires a new rectangular connector disassembly fixture that maintains the parallelism of the first mounting surface of the plug and the second mounting surface of the socket during the separation of the plug and socket of the rectangular connector.

[0042] Furthermore, due to the rectangular connector disassembly fixture of this embodiment, the first mounting surface of the plug and the second mounting surface of the socket are parallel to each other during the separation of the plug and socket of the rectangular connector; it also further enables the pin to exit from the socket along the extension direction of the socket. During this exit process, the pin is not subjected to the shear force of the socket wall. This embodiment can also avoid the occurrence of pin breakage of the rectangular connector.

[0043] Furthermore, compared to the prior art where the operator manually pulls the plug out along the insertion / removal direction, in this embodiment, a force-adding rod 8 drives the rocker arm 3 to swing, thereby deforming the four-bar linkage and pulling out the plug. The combination of the force-adding rod 8 and the rocker arm 3 is essentially a lever. The length of the force-adding rod 8 is the length of the lever's effort arm. The connection point between the force-adding rod 8 and the rocker arm 3 is the fulcrum of the lever. The distance between the connection point of the force-adding rod 8 and the rocker arm 3 and the hinge point between the rocker arm and the first component is the length of the lever's resistance arm. In this embodiment, the length of the lever's effort arm is configured to be much greater than the length of the lever's resistance arm. Compared to the prior art, in the process of pulling a plug of the same weight out of the socket, this embodiment makes it easier for the operator due to the lever structure formed by the combination of the force-adding rod 8 and the rocker arm 3.

[0044] Furthermore, as mentioned above, there are two four-bar linkages 18, which are arranged in parallel. Therefore, how to make the two four-bar linkages 18 deform synchronously is a technical problem that needs to be solved. This technical problem is solved by the following technical solution.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the rectangular connector disassembly fixture of this embodiment also includes a connecting component 7, wherein the force-applying rod 8 of one four-bar linkage 18 is connected to the force-applying rod 8 of another four-bar linkage 18 through the connecting component 7.

[0046] The shape of the connecting component 7 is not limited; it can be a long rod-shaped structure, a tubular structure, or a plate-shaped structure. In this embodiment, preferably, the connecting component 7 is a rod-shaped structure extending in a straight line; preferably, there are multiple connecting components 7, which are arranged parallel to each other; most preferably, there are two connecting components 7.

[0047] The two four-bar linkages 18 are the first four-bar linkage and the second four-bar linkage, respectively. The force-applying rods of the first four-bar linkage and the second four-bar linkage are connected by the connecting component 7. When one of the force-applying rods swings, the swinging force-applying rod can drive the other force-applying rod to swing synchronously through the connecting component 7, thereby causing the two four-bar linkages to deform synchronously. Therefore, this embodiment solves the technical problem of how to make the two four-bar linkages deform synchronously.

[0048] Furthermore, as mentioned above, by pressing down the lever, the four-bar linkage deforms, thereby causing the plug to move upward and separate from the socket. So, after the external force on the lever is removed, how can the return of the four-bar linkage be prevented, i.e., how can the rocker arm 3 be prevented from returning to its original position? Figure 3 The technical problem that needs to be solved is that the perspective in the middle swings counterclockwise, and the plug is reinserted into the socket. This technical problem is solved by the following technical solution.

[0049] like Figures 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, any one of the rocker arms 3 is hinged to the first component 1 and the second component 2 via a damping hinge.

[0050] The damping hinge can be any of the existing technologies. The damping hinge in this embodiment allows the four-bar linkage to hover at any deformation position within the parallelogram deformation threshold when the plug is under load. In this embodiment, the rectangular connector disassembly fixture allows the four-bar linkage to hover after the external force of the pressing lever is removed, thereby preventing the plug from being reinserted into the socket due to the return of the four-bar linkage. Therefore, this embodiment solves the technical problem of how to prevent the four-bar linkage from returning to its original position after the external force of the pressing lever is removed.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, further, in this embodiment, the rectangular connector disassembly fixture and the adapter component 4 also include a first reinforcing rib 13, which is connected to the connector 9 and the second mounting portion 12 respectively. In this embodiment, by providing the first reinforcing rib 13 between the connector 9 and the second mounting portion 12, the connection strength between the connector 9 and the second mounting portion 12 is increased.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the rectangular connector disassembly fixture of this embodiment further includes a second reinforcing rib 14, which is disposed between the force-applying rod 8 and the rocker arm 3 connected to the force-applying rod 8. In this embodiment, by providing the second reinforcing rib 14, the connection strength between the force-applying rod 8 and the rocker arm 3 connected to the force-applying rod 8 is increased.

[0053] Increasing the contact area between the four-bar linkage and the socket mounting plate is a technical problem that needs to be solved. This technical problem is solved by the following technical solution.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the rectangular connector disassembly fixture further includes a base plate 15; the second component 2 of any four-bar linkage 18 is detachably connected to the base plate 15.

[0055] In this embodiment, preferably, the base plate 15 is flat; preferably, the second component 2 and the base plate 15 are detachably connected by fasteners such as screws or bolts.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second component 2 is installed on the base plate, which is placed on the mounting plate of the socket. By setting the base plate, the contact area between the four-bar linkage and the mounting plate of the socket is increased, which further reduces the pressure on the mounting plate of the socket and prevents the mounting plate of the socket from deforming.

[0057] like Figure 2As shown, further, a plurality of through holes 17 are provided on the base plate 15. The through holes 17 are formed by removing part of the material of the base plate 15. The number and size of the through holes 17 are not limited. In this embodiment, a plurality of through holes 17 are provided on the base plate 15, which reduces the weight of the base plate 15 and further reduces the overall weight of the rectangular connector disassembly fixture.

[0058] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
