Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to a connector unlocking structure and a high-speed connector. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a snap-fit ​​method is generally used to achieve the connection between the connector board end and the wire end. However, when disassembling, tools are needed to unlock and disengage the connector board end and the wire end, which is very inconvenient.

[0003] The invention patent with the authorization announcement number: CN118249137B discloses an ultra-thin push-pull high-speed connector and an assembly method thereof, which belongs to the field of connector technology. The ultra-thin push-pull high-speed connector includes a board end and a wire end. After the board end and the wire end are plugged in, they are connected through a side locking assembly; the board end includes a shell, an insulating mounting plate, a short spring assembly and a long spring assembly. The short spring assembly and the long spring assembly are buckled together to form an integrated structure. After the short spring assembly and the long spring assembly are buckled together, a receiving cavity is formed, and a shielding sheet is arranged in the receiving cavity. In actual use, the invention enables the first plastic package body and the second plastic package body in the short spring assembly and the long spring assembly to be connected together through a hook structure, which can constrain the long spring assembly and the short spring assembly in the height direction, resist the stress caused during the plugging and unplugging process, and avoid the insulating mounting plate with only the frame structure being deformed by force to affect the contact reliability.

[0004] However, in actual use, it is found that the board end and the wire end are mainly locked by rotating the locking spring, but there is a lack of pre-tightening force after the board end and the wire end are connected, which makes the connection between the board end and the wire end easy to loosen. In addition, the use of a pull strap to unlock the connector lacks a protective structure and is prone to accidental contact, resulting in reduced overall safety of the connector. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a connector unlocking structure and a high-speed connector, which can effectively solve the technical problem in the prior art that the male end of the connector and the female end of the connector lack pre-tightening force after being connected, resulting in the connection being easily loose.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A connector unlocking structure, comprising a locking hook and a locking unit respectively arranged on a male end of the connector and a female end of the connector, wherein the locking unit is used to be fixedly mounted on a side surface of the male end of the connector;

[0008] The locking unit comprises:

[0009] A base, the base being used to be fixedly mounted on the side of the female end of the connector in a detachable manner;

[0010] A support platform, wherein the support platform is fixedly arranged on the base;

[0011] A push-pull rod, one end of which is hinged on the support platform;

[0012] An outer frame, wherein a rotating shaft is disposed on the outer frame, and the rotating shaft passes through the push-pull rod, so that the outer frame is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft;

[0013] Among them, a connecting rod is slidably arranged on the outer frame, one end of the connecting rod is connected to a push plate, a spring is sleeved on the connecting rod, one end of the spring is connected to the push plate, and the other end is connected to the outer frame, and an annular lock buckle is arranged at the end of the connecting rod extending out of the outer frame, and the annular lock buckle is used to lock the male end of the connector with the female end of the connector after locking with the locking hook arranged on the side of the male end of the connector;

[0014] During use, the push-pull rod is rotated to change the compression and relaxation state of the spring. The push-pull rod is rotated to make the annular lock buckle on the connecting rod cooperate with the locking hook. The push-pull rod is reversed. At this time, due to the limitation of the locking hook of the push-pull rod, the outer frame will move away from the locking hook, and the spring will be compressed to lock and fix the female end and the male end of the connector.

[0015] Furthermore, there are a plurality of locking hooks, which are arranged equidistantly on the side of the male end of the connector.

[0016] In some preferred implementation cases, the push plate is slidably mounted inside the outer frame.

[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of connecting parts are provided on the annular lock buckle, and the connecting parts divide the area on the annular lock buckle into a plurality of locking areas.

[0018] Preferably, an arc-shaped positioning groove is provided on the connecting portion.

[0019] Furthermore, the push-pull rod and the support platform are hinged via a first rotating shaft.

[0020] Wherein, a first groove is arranged on the female end of the connector, and the base is installed in the first groove.

[0021] Preferably, a clearance groove communicating with the first groove is provided on the female end of the connector, and the end of the push-pull rod away from the support platform is located in the clearance groove.

[0022] Furthermore, the push-pull rod is interference-fitted with the clearance groove.

[0023] Among them, the present invention also discloses a high-speed connector, including a connector male end and a connector female end, and the connector male end and the connector female end are locked by the connector unlocking structure described above.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] In actual use, the present invention mainly realizes the connection between the male end of the connector and the female end of the connector through the provided locking unit, and provides a continuous pre-tightening force under the action of the locking unit to ensure that the female end of the connector and the male end of the connector can maintain a continuous and stable connection to ensure the transmission of the connector signal. In actual use, it is only necessary to plug the male end of the connector with the female end of the connector, and then rotate the push-pull rod to change the compression and stretching state of the spring. The push-pull rod is rotated so that the annular lock on the connecting rod cooperates with the locking hook, and the push-pull rod is reversed. At this time, due to the limit of the push-pull rod and the locking hook, the outer frame will move in the direction away from the locking hook, and the spring will be compressed to lock and fix the female end of the connector and the male end of the connector. In this way, a continuous pre-tightening force can be provided under the action of the spring to ensure the continuous close contact between the male end of the connector and the female end of the connector, which can effectively achieve the purpose of shockproof and anti-disengagement.
