Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and particularly relates to a communication cable with a connector and a connector assembly. Background Art

[0002] A communication cable is a communication line composed of a cable core formed by twisting multiple mutually insulated wires or conductors and an outer sheath that protects the cable core from moisture and mechanical damage, and is used to transmit cables for telephones, telegrams, televisions, broadcasts, data, and other electrical signals. It plays a crucial role in modern communication networks. A communication cable connector is a key component for signal transmission between various digital program-controlled switches, internal connections of optoelectronic transmission devices, and distribution frames in transmission equipment, and they can ensure the accurate and reliable transmission of electrical signals;

[0003] For this reason, a patent with the publication number CN117832949B discloses a communication cable with a connector and a connector assembly. The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, including cable bodies arranged oppositely. Docking blocks for clamping cables are sleeved on the opposite sides of the two cable bodies, and a connecting sleeve is clamped between the outer surfaces of the two docking blocks. A limiting sleeve is sleeved on the outer surface of the cable body. Among them, the limiting sleeve is locked with the connecting sleeve through a rotary connection structure; the limiting sleeve includes two hinged connecting plates. This communication cable with a connector and a connector assembly facilitates the classification and placement of cables of different colors through the setting of the docking blocks, so that when connecting later, one-to-one corresponding connections can be directly made; through the cooperative setting of the connecting sleeve and the limiting sleeve, it is convenient to seal the connection part of the cable, and at the same time, the connection effect can be ensured, effectively preventing it from falling off, and improving the connection effect between the cables;

[0004] The above-mentioned communication cable connector assembly effectively prevents it from falling off through the cooperative setting of the connecting sleeve and the limiting sleeve, and improves the connection effect between the cables. However, the connection method between the connecting sleeve and the limiting sleeve is a threaded connection. When assembling, it needs to be manually rotated and tightened, and the connection speed is slow, and it is impossible to achieve quick connection or disassembly. Moreover, in the case of long-term use, the thread is prone to looseness. When the connection is not firm, the interface will become loose under the action of external force, resulting in poor contact and affecting communication connection and other phenomena. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a communication cable with a connector and a connector assembly to solve the defect that the existing communication cable with a connector and a connector assembly is inconvenient to assemble.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A communication cable with a connector and a connector assembly, including a connecting member and a core body connected to one end thereof; cables are installed at one end of both the core body and the connecting member, a plug is installed outside the core body, and a sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the plug and the connecting member; a tail cover is installed at the rear end of the core body, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the tail cover and the plug. Pressing strips are hinged to the top and bottom of the plug, and outer shells are installed on the outer walls of the plug at one end of the pressing strips. Convex blocks are provided at the top and bottom of the front end of the plug, and a connecting block is provided inside the plug.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing ring is installed outside the connecting member, and a slider is provided inside the fixing ring.

[0008] Preferably, a sliding groove is provided on the surface of the connecting member outside the slider, and a rotating structure is formed between the fixing ring and the connecting member. The rotatable function of the fixing ring is realized and it is connected to the connecting member.

[0009] Preferably, a chamfered pattern is provided at one end of the fixing ring, marking blocks are provided on both sides of the fixing ring, and a limiting groove is provided on the surface of the fixing ring. The chamfered pattern facilitates the rotation operation of the fixing ring.

[0010] Preferably, movable grooves are provided on both sides at one end of the fixing ring, and the positions of the movable grooves correspond to those of the marking blocks. A connecting groove is provided at one end of the connection of the fixing ring. By observing the marking blocks, the specific positions of the movable grooves can be known, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the fixing ring.

[0011] Preferably, the tail cover and the plug are connected by threads, the positions of the pressing strips and the convex blocks correspond to each other, and the shapes of the connecting block and the connecting groove fit each other. The fitting connection between the connecting block and the connecting groove enhances the sealing effect of the connector and has a good dust-proof effect.

[0012] Preferably, the pressing strips are in a "Z" shape, limiting blocks are installed at one end of each pressing strip, and movable blocks are provided at the opposite ends of the limiting blocks.

[0013] Preferably, the outer diameter of the movable block is smaller than that of the limiting block, a flipping structure is formed between the pressing strip and the plug, and first springs are installed between the pressing strip and the plug.

[0014] Preferably, an extrusion block is slidably provided at the top of the outer shell, push blocks are installed on both sides at the bottom of the extrusion block, and sliding platforms are installed on both sides of the outer shell at the bottom of the push blocks, and a sliding structure is formed between the sliding platforms and the outer shell.

[0015] Preferably, bases are installed at the tops of the sliding tables, and the relative positions of the bases and the pushing blocks are angled. Second springs are arranged on the opposite sides of the sliding tables. Blocks are installed at one ends of the sliding tables, and the opposite sides of the blocks are angled.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: for the communication cable with a connector and the connector assembly, when connecting the connector, fixing can be achieved by rotating 90° and then pressing the pressing strip. This is simpler and faster in assembly compared to threaded connection. Moreover, through the limitation of the pressing strip by the block, the phenomenon of loosening or falling off of the connector can be avoided, ensuring the stability of the communication connection.

[0017] By providing a pressing strip, during the connection process, the fixing ring is rotated 90°, so that the movable groove moves away from the movable block, enabling a preliminary connection between the connecting piece and the plug-in piece. Then, the pressing strip is flipped, and through the extrusion of the limiting block against the limiting groove, further pushing of the connecting piece is achieved, making the connecting piece fit tightly with the core body, with a firm connection. Through the fit between the connecting block and the connecting groove, and the re-extrusion of the sealing gasket by the connecting piece and the core body, the sealing performance inside the connector is improved, effectively preventing the entry of dust and water, and the operation is simplified.

[0018] Furthermore, when the limiting block further squeezes the limiting groove and causes the fixing ring to shift, the marking block on its surface intersects with the convex block. Even if there is an external force rotating the fixing ring, the marking block will be stuck with the convex block, making the marking block unable to rotate to the position at the time of insertion, thereby strengthening the firmness of the connector connection.

[0019] Furthermore, when the pressing strip is pressed onto the surface of the plug-in piece, it drives the block to slide outward during the downward pressing process. When the pressing strip is pressed down to the bottom of the block, the block rebounds and resets under the tension of the second spring, limiting the top of the pressing strip and preventing the pressing strip from flipping, thereby preventing the connector from loosening or falling off and improving the connection stability.

Detailed implementation manners

[0033] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 - 12, A communication cable with a connector and a connector assembly provided by the present invention includes a connecting member 1 and a core body 4 connected to one end thereof; cables 3 are installed at one end of both the core body 4 and the connecting member 1, and a plug-in member 2 is installed outside the core body 4; a tail cover 21 is installed at the rear end of the core body 4, and a sealing ring 25 is provided at the connection between the tail cover 21 and the plug-in member 2. Pressing strips 22 are hinged to the top and bottom of the plug-in member 2, and outer shells 23 are installed on the outer wall of the plug-in member 2 at one end of the pressing strips 22. Protrusions 24 are provided at the top and bottom of the front end of the plug-in member 2. A connecting block 26 is provided inside the plug-in member 2. A fixing ring 11 is installed outside the connecting member 1, and a slider 13 is provided inside the fixing ring 11. A sliding groove 12 is provided on the surface of the connecting member 1 outside the slider 13. A rotating structure is formed between the fixing ring 11 and the connecting member 1. A ribbed pattern 111 is provided at one end of the fixing ring 11. Marking blocks 112 are provided on both sides of the fixing ring 11. A limiting groove 113 is provided on the surface of the fixing ring 11. Moving grooves 114 are provided on both sides at one end of the fixing ring 11, and the positions of the moving grooves 114 correspond to those of the marking blocks 112. The tail cover 21 and the plug-in member 2 are threadedly connected. The positions of the pressing strips 22 and the protrusions 24 correspond to each other. Limiting blocks 221 are installed at one end of each of the pressing strips 22, and moving blocks 222 are provided at the opposite ends of the limiting blocks 221;

[0035] Refer to Figures 3 - 6 As shown, when the device is in use, the tail cover 21 and the plug-in member 2 are threadedly connected to protect the core body 4 inside. At the same time, the sealing ring 25 between the tail cover 21 and the plug-in member 2 strengthens the sealing effect during rotational connection. Then, align the marking block 112 on the surface of the fixing ring 11 with the middle position of the protrusion 24 at one end of the plug-in member 2, and insert them in alignment so that the connection groove 115 passes through the moving block 222, and the limiting groove 113 slides to the position of the moving block 222. At this time, the marking block 112 contacts the protrusion 24, and then rotate the ribbed pattern 111 by 90° to drive the moving groove 114 away from the position of the moving block 222, and the fixing ring 11 and the moving block 222 are clamped and fixed, so that a preliminary connection is obtained between the plug-in member 2 and the connecting member 1;

[0036] A sealing gasket 5 is provided at the connection between the plug-in member 2 and the connecting member 1. A connection groove 115 is provided at one end of the connection of the fixing ring 11. The shapes of the connecting block 26 and the connection groove 115 are matched. The pressing strip 22 is in a "Z" shape. The outer diameter of the moving block 222 is smaller than the outer diameter of the limiting block 221. A flipping structure is formed between the pressing strip 22 and the plug-in member 2. First springs 223 are installed between the pressing strip 22 and the plug-in member 2;

[0037] Refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, when the device is used, the plug-in 2 and the connector 1 are initially connected, and the pressure strip 22 is pressed downward to drive the limit block 221 to flip and squeeze the limit groove 113, driving the connector 1 to approach the core 4 again, and the connection is firm, and the connection groove 115 at one end of the fixing ring 11 is aligned with the internal connection block 26 of the plug-in 2, and the connection groove 115 is flared, which has a good sealing effect and effectively prevents the entry of dust. At the same time, in the further connection, the sealing gasket 5 at the connection is squeezed to fill the surrounding gaps to achieve a waterproof effect, so that the connection between the plug-in 2 and the connector 1 is more firm and has strong sealing. At the same time, the marking block 112 is misaligned with the protrusion 24 after the further connection. Even if the fixing ring 11 is rotated, the marking block 112 and the protrusion 24 will conflict, so that the movable groove 114 cannot be rotated to the position of the movable block 222, further enhancing the firmness of the connection;

[0038] An extrusion block 231 is slidably provided at the top of the housing 23, and push blocks 235 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the extrusion block 231, and slides 233 are installed on both sides of the housing 23 at the bottom of the push block 235, and a sliding structure is formed between the slide 233 and the housing 23, and a base 236 is installed at the top of the slide 233, and the relative positions of the base 236 and the push block 235 are both oblique, and a second spring 234 is provided on the opposite side of the slide 233, and a clamping block 232 is installed at one end of the slide 233, and the opposite side of the clamping block 232 is oblique;

[0039] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 When the pressure strip 22 is pressed to the bottom of the block 232, the pressure disappears, and the slide 233 is pushed to drive the block 232 to return to its original position under the action of the tension of the second spring 234, so that the pressure strip 22 cannot be turned over without the action of external force, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of connector loosening and enhancing the stability effect. When disassembly is required, the extrusion block 231 is directly pressed to drive the push block 235 to squeeze the base 236, so that the slide 233 drives the block 232 to slide outward. At this time, the pressure strip 22 loses resistance and quickly turns over under the action of the tension of the first spring 223, so that the movable block 222 contacts the limiting groove 113, and the fixing ring 11 becomes loose. After the connecting piece 1 is pulled outward so that the marking block 112 is flush with the protrusion 24, the fixing ring 11 can be rotated to achieve disassembly.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
