Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cable connectors, in particular to a composite mechanical arm connector for thick single cable connection. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of industrial automation, especially in the application of mechanical arms, cable connectors are key components for connecting power and signals, and their reliability and stability are crucial. However, mechanical arms usually work in harsh environments such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, oil pollution, vibration, etc., and these environmental factors can significantly affect the performance of the connector, especially the contact reliability of the terminal.

[0003] The terminal of the cable connector in the prior art is usually made of conductive materials such as copper alloy, which can meet the basic conductive requirements in the initial use, but in the long-term use process, the terminal surface is easily affected by environmental factors to form an oxide layer or attach pollutants. These oxide layers and pollutants can significantly increase the contact resistance, reduce the conductive performance, cause unstable signal transmission, and even cause heating, open circuit and other faults, which seriously affect the normal operation and safety of the mechanical arm.

[0004] In order to solve the problem of terminal oxidation, the prior art usually adopts the following methods:

[0005] Improve the oxidation resistance of the terminal material: for example, use gold plating, silver plating and other noble metal plating layers, which can improve the oxidation resistance to some extent, but the cost is high, and after long-term use in harsh environments, oxidation or wear will still occur.

[0006] Regular maintenance and cleaning: manually disassemble the terminal regularly, clean and rust-proof the terminal, which not only takes time and effort, increases maintenance costs, but also frequent disassembly and assembly can damage the connector and reduce its service life. Or design a special structure to increase the contact pressure between the terminals to penetrate the oxide layer and achieve good electrical contact.

[0048] The male head 100 comprises a cylindrical shell 103 with two open ends, the diameter of one end of the cylindrical shell 103 is larger than that of the other end, the inside of the cylindrical shell 103 is provided with a limiting convex ring 104, and the terminal A 102 is slidingly arranged in the limiting convex ring 104. The terminal A 102 is in a U-shaped structure, which increases the contact area with the terminal B 202 and reduces the resistance. The terminal B 202 is provided with a plurality of sharp cones 204 in a plum blossom shape on the outside of the end, the terminal B 202 is inserted into the terminal A 102, the sharp cones 204 protrude 0.1 mm from the outer surface of the terminal B 202, and can pierce the oxide layer possibly formed on the surface of the terminal A 102 in the process of pulling and inserting. Through the way of increasing the contact area and setting the sharp cones 204, the reliability and conductivity of the contact are double-protected.

[0049] The side surface of the limiting convex ring 104 is integrally connected with a ring-shaped sliding channel 105, and the ring-shaped sliding channel 105 is slidingly connected with a sealing ring 106;

[0050] The sealing ring 106 comprises a sliding section 107 and a sealing section 108 which are integrally connected, the sliding section 107 is arranged in a bent shape and is slidingly arranged in the ring-shaped sliding channel 105, and the sealing section 108 is arranged in a circular ring shape and the inner ring of the sealing section 108 is clamped on the outer surface of the terminal A 102.

[0051] When the terminal B 202 is inserted into the terminal A 102, the terminal A 102 is extruded and moves to the rear side. In order to improve the sealing effect, the sealing ring 106 will move together. The sliding section 107 of the sealing ring 106 has a certain elasticity, and the sealing section 108 always plays a sealing role in the sliding process, so as to prevent dust from entering the plug-in part during use and affect the service life.

[0052] The female head 200 comprises a butt ring 205 matched with the large-diameter end of the cylindrical shell 103, a plurality of gasket grooves are arranged on the outer surface of the butt ring 205, and rubber pads are arranged in the gasket grooves. After the butt ring 205 is butted with the cylindrical shell 103, a close fit is formed, the joint can be sealed by the arranged rubber pads, dust entering is reduced, and the rubber pads are soft, so that the butt of the butt ring 205 and the cylindrical shell 103 is flexible butt, and then the fastening mechanism 201 is gradually pressed tightly. The terminal B 202 is arranged on the inner ring of the butt ring 205, and the fastening mechanism 201 is arranged on the outside of the butt ring 205.

[0053] In the embodiment 2, the embodiment is realized on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1.

[0054] As Figures 4-10As shown, the specific structure of the fastening mechanism 201 is specifically disclosed, wherein the fastening mechanism 201 comprises a limiting disc 206, at least three limiting sliding grooves 207 are formed on the limiting disc 206, three clamping blocks 208 are slidingly connected in the three limiting sliding grooves 207, the clamping blocks 208 are in the shape of "J", a wedge surface 209 is arranged at one end of the clamping blocks 208, an inclined surface 110 matched with the wedge surface 209 is arranged on the outer side of the limiting snap ring 101, when the clamping blocks 208 move towards the limiting snap ring 101, the wedge surface 209 of the clamping blocks 208 abuts against the inclined surface 110 on the limiting snap ring 101, for clamping the male head 100 and the female head 200, the other end of the clamping blocks 208 is fixedly connected with a guide column 210.

[0055] One side of the limiting disc 206 is connected with a circular ring shell 211, a notch 212 is formed on the circular ring shell 211, a rotating disc cavity 213 is arranged in the circular ring shell 211, a rotating disc 214 is rotatably arranged in the rotating disc cavity 213, the rotating disc 214 is arranged in the shape of a circular ring, an anti-skid tooth 215 is arranged at the position of the rotating disc 214 located at the notch 212, and a positioning assembly 216 for fixing the rotating disc 214 is further installed on the circular ring shell 211.

[0056] The positioning assembly 216 can adopt a common positioning pin structure, which comprises two main parts of a positioning pin and an elastic mechanism, the positioning pin is arranged on the side wall of the circular ring shell 211, and is located at the position near the notch 212 and deviates from the center line of the notch 212 by a certain distance, the positioning pin is in the shape of a cylinder, and the diameter thereof is matched with the diameter of the positioning hole prearranged on the rotating disc 214, and the elastic mechanism is installed inside the circular ring shell 211 and connected with the positioning pin, so as to provide elastic support and reset force for the positioning pin.

[0057] The rotating disc 214 is further provided with an inclined groove 224 matched with the position of the limiting sliding groove 207, the other end of the guide column 210 is slidingly inserted into the inclined groove 224, when the rotating disc 214 rotates, the clamping blocks 208 are driven to move along the limiting sliding groove 207 due to the limiting effect of the guide column 210.

[0058] In specific use, first, the male head 100 and the female head 200 are connected, and after connection, the anti-skid teeth 215 at the notch 212 are rotated by fingers to rotate the rotating disc 214, the rotation of the rotating disc 214 can make the inclined groove 224 rotate, and since one end of the guide column 210 is inserted into the inclined groove 224, the rotation of the rotating disc 214 can push the guide column 210 through the inclined surface of the inclined groove 224, thereby driving the clamping block 208 to move along the limiting sliding groove 207 to the direction of the limiting clasp 101, when the clamping block 208 moves to the position of the limiting clasp 101, the wedge surface 209 of the clamping block 208 will abut against the inclined surface 110 on the limiting clasp 101. Due to the cooperation of the wedge surface 209 and the inclined surface 110, the clamping block 208 will be gradually squeezed inward, thereby firmly clamping the male head 100 and the female head 200, and realizing stable connection.

[0059] After the clamping operation is completed, the rotating disc 214 is fixed by using the positioning assembly 216 to prevent accidental rotation, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0060] When it is needed to release the connection, the rotating disc 214 is rotated in the reverse direction again, the clamping block 208 is moved in the reverse direction along the limiting sliding groove 207, and the clamping block 208 is separated from the limiting clasp 101, so that the male head 100 and the female head 200 can be easily separated.

[0061] The wedge surface 209 of the clamping block 208 and the inclined surface 110 of the limiting clasp 101 cooperate to form a self-locking structure, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection and effectively preventing accidental loosening. The fastening mechanism 201 has no vulnerable parts, has a long service life, can be repeatedly used, and reduces the maintenance cost. The design is suitable for various types of plug-in connectors, and only the sizes of the limiting sliding groove 207 and the clamping block 208 need to be adjusted to adapt to different connection requirements, thereby improving the universality of the design.

[0062] Although the fastening mechanism 201 in the above embodiment can effectively realize the stable connection of the male head 100 and the female head 200, since the surface of the terminal B 202 can be oxidized or contaminated during long-term use of the plug-in connector, the contact resistance is increased, thereby affecting the stability of the electrical performance.

[0063] Therefore, in order to further improve the electrical performance of the plug-in connector, the inner ring of the rotating disc 214 is provided with a ring of splines, the circular ring shell 211 and the abutting ring 205 are provided with annular grooves 217 that are in communication with each other, the splines of the rotating disc 214 extend into the annular grooves 217, and the scraping mechanism 203 includes a polishing sleeve 218 arranged between the abutting ring 205 and the terminal B 202, the inside of the polishing sleeve 218 is provided with two groups of scraping pieces 219 arranged in a semicircle, one side of the scraping piece 219 is attached to the outer surface of the terminal B 202, the other side of the scraping piece 219 is connected with a Z-shaped elastic piece 220, and the outer surface of the polishing sleeve 218 is provided with a ring of convex rings 221, the convex ring 221 is provided with keys matched with the splines, so that the rotation of the rotating disc 214 drives the rotation of the polishing sleeve 218.

[0064] The inner wall of the polishing sleeve 218 is provided with a strip-shaped sliding groove 222, the other end of the Z-shaped elastic piece 220 is connected with a sliding block 223, and the sliding block 223 is slidingly arranged in the strip-shaped sliding groove 222.

[0065] Before use, the plug-in connector can first idle the rotating disc 214, so that the rotating disc 214 drives the rotation of the polishing sleeve 218, the polishing sleeve 218 drives the rotation of the scraping pieces 219 inside, and due to the arrangement of the Z-shaped elastic piece 220, the scraping piece 219 exerts a certain pressure on the outer surface of the terminal B 202, and the scraping piece 219 performs circumferential movement type scraping and cleaning on the surface of the terminal B 202 in the rotating process, as shown in FIG. 8, removes the oxide layer or contaminants, and restores the conductive performance of the surface of the terminal B 202. Figure 11

[0066] The outer end surface of the terminal B 202 is flush with the outer end surface of the polishing sleeve 218, so that the scraping mechanism 203 can perform circumferential movement type polishing on the end portion of the terminal B 202.

[0067] Through the above design, the scraping mechanism 203 can clean and maintain the surface of the terminal B 202 before the plug-in connector is connected, so as to ensure that the contact resistance always remains at a low level, thereby significantly improving the electrical performance and service life of the plug-in connector. At the same time, the scraping piece 219 and the Z-shaped elastic piece 220 have simple design structure, are easy to manufacture and install, and further reduce the production cost.

[0068] In the use process of the plug-in connector, the scraped part of the terminal B 202 is inserted into the terminal A 102, and due to the arrangement of the plum blossom-shaped sharp cone 204 on the outer side of the end of the terminal B 202, the terminal B 202 can pierce the oxide layer that may be formed on the surface of the terminal A 102 during the insertion into the terminal A 102, and generate a scratching path consistent with the axial direction of the terminal A 102, as shown in FIG. 10. Figure 12

[0069] ​​It needs to be further explained that during the insertion of terminal B202 into terminal A102, the end of terminal A102 will be against the end face of scraping piece 219, and due to the strip-shaped sliding groove 222 opened on the inner wall of the polishing sleeve 218, the Z-shaped elastic piece 220 slides in the strip-shaped sliding groove 222 through the sliding block 223, so that the terminal A102 will extrude the scraping piece 219, so that the scraping piece 219 moves inward, and in the process of moving the scraping piece 219, the scraping piece 219 also realizes the axial scraping and cleaning of the surface of terminal B202.

[0070] After the insertion is completed, then rotate the turntable 214, the turntable 214 drives the clamping block 208 to move along the limiting sliding groove 207 to the direction of the limiting clamping ring 101, firmly clamping the male head 100 and the female head 200, on the other hand, further realizing the rotation of the scraping piece 219, which can scrape and clean the rear side position of terminal B202. In this process, the axial and circumferential movement of the scraping piece 219 effectively removes the possible small dirt or oxidation layer on the surface of terminal B202, ensures that the contact surface of terminal B202 and terminal A102 always remains clean, reduces the increase of contact resistance, and further improves the electrical performance and reliability of the plug-in part.

[0071] Specific working principle:

[0072] Idling:

[0073] Terminal B202 is not inserted into terminal A102. The end face of the scraping piece 219 slightly contacts the outer surface of terminal B202 under the action of the Z-shaped elastic piece 220. The turntable 214 drives the polishing sleeve 218 to rotate through the spline, and the polishing sleeve 218 drives the internal scraping piece 219 to make circumferential motion around the axis of terminal B202. In the process of rotation, the end face of the scraping piece 219 is in close contact with the outer surface of terminal B202, and the surface of terminal B202 is scraped and cleaned to remove the oxidation layer, dirt and dust on the surface. Due to the action of the Z-shaped elastic piece 220, the scraping piece 219 exerts a certain pressure on terminal B202 to ensure the scraping effect.

[0074] Insertion:

[0075] The rotating disc 214 is in the state of idling, and the scraping piece 219 has pre-cleaned the terminal B 202. The terminal B 202 is inserted into the terminal A 102. As the terminal B 202 is inserted into the terminal A 102, the terminal A 102 moves backward and presses the buffer spring, and the terminal B 202 pierces the oxide layer that may be formed on the surface of the terminal A 102. In this process, the insertion of the terminal B 202 pushes the scraping piece 219 to move inward, and the scraping piece 219 is in close contact with the side surface of the terminal B 202 and slides along the axial direction of the terminal B 202, achieving axial scraping cleaning of the surface of the terminal B 202. After the terminal B 202 is completely inserted into the terminal A 102, the end of the terminal A 102 abuts against the end surface of the scraping piece 219, and at this time, the terminal A 102 and the terminal B 202 have established an electrical connection.

[0076] After the insertion is completed:

[0077] The rotating disc 214 is rotated, and the rotating disc 214 drives the clamping block 208 to move through the inclined groove 224 and the guide column 210. The wedge surface 209 of the clamping block 208 abuts against the inclined surface 110 of the limiting clamping ring 101, and the male head 100 and the female head 200 are firmly clamped. While the rotating disc 214 is locked, the rotating disc 214 continues to rotate the polishing sleeve 218 through the spline, and the polishing sleeve 218 drives the scraping piece 219 to continue to make a circular motion around the axis of the terminal B 202, and the scraping piece 219 continuously scrapes the rear position (the end close to the abutting ring 205) of the terminal B 202. The rotating disc 214 is locked by the positioning assembly 216, the male head 100 and the female head 200 are firmly connected, the terminal A 102 and the terminal B 202 maintain good electrical contact, the scraping piece 219 continuously cleans the terminal B 202, and the contact resistance is ensured to be always kept at a low level.

However, it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the above specific embodiments. On the basis of the disclosed embodiments, the skilled in the art can arbitrarily combine different technical features to realize different technical solutions.
