[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In the process of connecting the copper wire and the aluminum wire, the present invention uses a limiting ring and a limiting plate to limit the first plug connector and the second plug connector, which is beneficial to ensure that the first plug connector and the second plug connector can remain stable after being installed in the first shell and the second shell.

Then, when the first shell and the second shell are completely connected, the snap-fit buckle moves into the snap-fit groove and is first squeezed and then enters the snap-fit groove and returns to its original position to engage with the snap-fit groove. When the snap-fit buckle returns to its original position, it acts on the trigger rod inside the second shell to move. The trigger rod inside the first shell is squeezed by the end of the second shell when the first shell and the second shell are completely connected. The trigger rod moves to trigger The inclined surface at the end of the rod will act on the trigger block and the blocking rod to move to one side, and the blocking rod moves in the second sliding groove.

The inner wall surfaces of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are provided with limiting grooves 17. The limiting ring 14 is located at the position of the limiting groove 17, and the end of the limiting plate 16 is fitted inside the limiting groove 17. The locking mechanism includes two sealing grooves 18, which are respectively opened on the two end surfaces of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 away from each other. An annular waterproof plug 19 is arranged in the sealing groove 18, and the waterproof plug 19 extends to the outside of the sealing groove 18. A collar 20 is sleeved on the surface of the waterproof plug 19, and a plurality of clamping claws 21 are fixedly connected to the surface of the collar 20. The outside of the clamping claws 21 is an inclined surface. The surfaces of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are both threadedly connected with a locking cap 22, and the inner surface of one end of the locking cap 22 is an inclined surface. When the locking cap 22 is installed on the surfaces of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, the locking cap 22 squeezes the clamping claws 21 to move inward; In the process of connecting the copper wire and the aluminum wire, it is necessary to first put the locking cap 22, the ring 20 and the waterproof plug 19 on the surface of the copper wire and the aluminum wire in sequence, and then move the copper wire and the aluminum wire to the inside of the plug groove 9 and the connection groove 10 respectively, and then install the fastening screws in the fastening holes 11 to fix the copper wire and the aluminum wire, and then install the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 to the inside of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 respectively. The end of the first plug connector 5 will move to the inside of the connecting tube 3, and the limiting ring 14 will move with the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 to the inside of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. It is necessary to move the limiting ring 14 and the limiting plate 16 into the limiting groove 17, and the end of the limiting plate 16 will abut against the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 17 to fix the first plug connector 5. The first and second plug connectors 5 and 6 are limited in position with the second plug connector 6, which is conducive to keeping the first and second plug connectors 5 and 6 stable after being installed in the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. The through opening 15 on the surface of the limiting ring 14 can ensure the heat dissipation effect of the first and second plug connectors 5 and 6, and a plurality of inclined limiting plates 16 can support the first and second plug connectors 5 and 6, so that the first and second plug connectors 5 and 6 can be in the middle position of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, avoiding the first and second plug connectors 5 and 6 having a small gap with the first and second shells 1 and 2, which affects the heat dissipation. Then, the waterproof plug 19 is moved into the sealing groove 18, the ring 20 is moved to the surface of the waterproof plug 19, and then the locking cap 2 is 2 is screwed together with the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 by threaded connection, the inclined surface on the inner side of the locking cap 22 will squeeze the inclined surface on the outer side of the clamping claw 21, and the clamping claw 21 will bend inward under the squeezing of the locking cap 22, and the clamping claw 21 will clamp the copper wire and the aluminum wire passing through, so as to ensure that the copper wire and the aluminum wire can be kept fixed after the installation is completed, so as to facilitate the stable docking of the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 in the subsequent process, and then after the locking cap 22 is tightened, the connecting tube 3 is moved into the second shell 2, and the end of the connecting tube 3 is moved to the position of the second plug connector 6, and then the end of the second plug connector 6 is moved into the plug groove 9 at the end of the first plug connector 5 inside the connecting tube 3, and the end of the second plug connector 6 is moved to the position of the fixing ring 12 and the contact piece 13. , the second plug connector 6 will squeeze the contact piece 13, and the contact piece 13 will clamp the second plug connector 6 to ensure the stable conduction of electricity after the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 are connected, and avoid the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 from being directly sleeved and matched during use. The first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 will shake, resulting in unstable contact and affecting the power conduction effect. When the connecting cylinder 3 is completely moved into the second shell 2, the sealing ring 4 will move into the second shell 2 to seal between the connecting cylinder 3 and the second shell 2, and the snap-on buckle 7 will move into the snap-on groove 8.

[0021] In the process of connecting the copper wire and the aluminum wire, when the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are clamped, the second plug connector 6 will move to the inside of the first plug connector 5. The first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 will be pushed away from each other when docking.

A blocking rod 26 is provided in the second slide groove 25, and the upper end of the blocking rod 26 is an inclined surface. The upper end of the blocking rod 26 is fitted with the end of the push rod 24, and the surfaces of the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 are both provided with an annular blocking groove 27; In the process of connecting the copper wire and the aluminum wire, when the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 are installed into the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, the blocking groove 27 will move to the blocking rod 26 position, and then after the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 are installed, the waterproof plug 19, the collar 20 and the locking cap 22 need to be installed. When the locking cap 22 is installed and tightened, the locking cap 22 will act on the push rod 24 to move in the first slide groove 23, and the inclined surface at the end of the push rod 24 will act on the inclined surface at the upper end of the blocking rod 26, and the blocking rod 26 will move to the side close to the blocking groove 27, and the blocking rod 2 6 will move into the blocking groove 27 to limit the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6, which is beneficial for the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 to remain fixed after being installed in the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, thereby ensuring that the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 can be stably docked when docking, and avoiding that when the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are docked, the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 are subjected to a large pushing force, which will cause the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 to move, and the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 cannot be stably docked, thereby affecting the connection effect of the copper wire and the aluminum wire.
[0022] During the use of the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 after docking, the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 will generate heat when conducting electricity. The blocking rod 26 will be in contact with the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 for a long time, which will affect the heat dissipation, and the temperature increase will cause the blocking rod 26 to deform. As a further solution of the present invention, the inner wall surfaces of the two second slide grooves 25 are each provided with a Z-shaped third slide groove 28, and the third slide groove 28 respectively penetrates the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 and extends to the ends of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. The third slide groove 28 inside the second shell 2 8 ends extend to the position of the clamping groove 8, a trigger rod 29 is elastically slidably connected in the third slide groove 28, the end of the trigger rod 29 close to the blocking rod 26 is an inclined surface, a triangular trigger block 30 is fixedly connected to the surface of the blocking rod 26, the width of the second slide groove 25 is twice the width of the first slide groove 23, the width of the blocking rod 26 is the same as the width of the first slide groove 23, a sliding plate 31 is elastically slidably connected up and down in the second slide groove 25, the blocking rod 26 is elastically slidably connected to the sliding plate 31, and the trigger rod 29 is used to act on the trigger block 30 to make the blocking rod 26 slide to one side along the sliding plate 31; When the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are docked, the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 are respectively located inside the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. Then, during the process of docking the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 will be restricted by the blocking rod 26 and the blocking groove 27, and the snap-in buckle 7 will move into the snap-in groove 8. Then, when the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are fully docked, the snap-in buckle 7 moves into the snap-in groove 8 and will be squeezed first and then enter the snap-in groove 8 and then return to its original position and engage with the snap-in groove 8. When the snap-in buckle 7 returns to its original position, it will act on the trigger rod 29 inside the second shell 2 to move. The trigger rod 29 inside the first shell 1 will be squeezed by the end of the second shell 2 when the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are fully docked. The trigger rod 29 moves the inclined end of the trigger rod 29. The surface will act on the trigger block 30 and the blocking rod 26 to move to one side, and the blocking rod 26 moves in the second sliding groove 25. The blocking rod 26 moves to one side along the sliding plate 31 and will be misaligned with the pushing rod 24. The blocking rod 26 and the sliding plate 31 will move out of the blocking groove 27 under the action of the spring, and the limit blocking of the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 is released, which is conducive to moving the blocking rod 26 out of the blocking groove 27 after the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 are connected. The contact of the blocking rod 26 during the use of the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 is reduced. On the one hand, the influence of heat dissipation when the blocking rod 26 is used with the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6 is reduced. On the other hand, it is avoided that the blocking rod 26 will be deformed due to the heat generated during the use of the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6, which affects the subsequent use of the blocking rod 26.
[0023] During the installation of the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6, it is difficult for the blocking rod 26 to accurately move into the blocking groove 27. As a further solution of the present invention, the bottom of the blocking rod 26 is an inclined surface, and the inner side of the blocking groove 27 is an inclined surface; During the installation of the first plug connector 5 and the second plug connector 6, the blocking rod 26 will move toward the side close to the blocking groove 27. The inclined surface at the bottom of the blocking rod 26 and the inclined surface inside the blocking groove 27 can prevent the blocking groove 27 from accurately moving to the position of the blocking rod 26. During the downward movement of the blocking rod 26, the first plug connector 5 or the second plug connector 6 can move under the action of the inclined surface at the bottom of the blocking rod 26 to increase the matching range of the blocking rod 26 and the blocking groove 27.
[0024] In the process of docking the copper wire and the aluminum wire, the clamping claw 21 will clamp the copper wire and the aluminum wire. The clamped copper wire and the aluminum wire are prone to metal fatigue at the clamping position when shaking, and breakage occurs. As a further solution of the present invention, a protective tube 32 is slidably connected to the inner side of the locking cap 22. One end of the protective tube 32 is between the clamping claw 21 and the protective tube 32. The other side of the protective tube 32 passes through the locking cap 22 and extends to the outside of the locking cap 22. During the process of docking the copper wire and the aluminum wire, when the two locking caps 22 are installed on the surfaces of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, the locking caps 22 will squeeze the clamping claws 21, and the protective tube 32 will extend the locking caps 22 under the action of the clamping claws 21 to support and protect the copper wire and the aluminum wire, so as to prevent the copper wire and the aluminum wire from shaking during subsequent use, causing metal fatigue and breakage at the position of the clamping claws 21, thereby reducing the service life of the copper wire and the aluminum wire.
