Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and specifically to a quick-lock connector. Background Art

[0002] A connector is an electromechanical component used in electronic devices to connect circuits and transmit current or signals. It realizes the on-off of the circuit through the cooperation of a plug and a socket. Its core function is to establish or disconnect the circuit path to ensure the reliable transmission of current and signals. It is widely used in the physical interfaces of internal and external circuits of electronic devices. The connector locking mechanism is the core component to ensure the reliability and stability of the connector. It ensures that the plug and the socket maintain close contact through physical locking to avoid accidental disconnection caused by external forces.

[0003] In some traditional structures, only the direct connection between the plug and the socket is used for fixation, and the effect is relatively average and it is easy to fall off due to external force pulling. Therefore, some connectors are provided with a locking structure. However, since the protruding lengths of the bolts on both sides cannot be exactly the same, there is a problem of unreliable locking, that is, there may still be a gap between the plug and the socket in the locked state, or one side is fixed and the other side is not fixed, resulting in a shaking space between the plug and the socket, making the connection unreliable, and connection interruption may occur in a vibrating environment. Moreover, when connecting the plug and the socket, usually after the plug is inserted, the locking structure is controlled to fix the connection between the plug and the socket, mostly by rotating the bolt for tightening. It is difficult to apply force in a narrow space, increasing the insertion and extraction time. In scenarios where frequent insertion and extraction or emergency equipment disassembly and assembly are required, the disassembly and assembly of some traditional locking structures are time-consuming or require special tools, and cannot meet the needs of emergency maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a quick-lock connector that can be automatically locked during insertion, which can achieve quick disassembly and assembly. Summary of the Invention

When locking, it is locked through the locking bolts and a set of sliders disposed inside the plug corresponding to them. When the frustum or arc-shaped curved surface at the head of the locking bolt is pressed against the arc-shaped surface portion in the shape of an inclined surface disposed on the slider, it drives the movable plate slidably connected to the slider and the slider to displace synchronously, so that the card slot in the middle of the slider is engaged and reset with the head of the locking bolt, causing the ratchet structure disposed on one side of the slider to engage. When the locking bolt is engaged and presses against the bottom of the card slot, the slider slides inward into the plug and is restricted by the ratchet structure and cannot be reset; when disassembling, the movable plate is pushed to drive the slider to move, the head of the locking bolt disengages from the card slot, the ratchet structure is guided to slip off, and the second elastic member disposed at the bottom of the slider pushes the slider to reset, and the plug is pulled outwards to achieve disassembly; each slider can adapt to the docking length of the locking bolt to achieve locking and resetting.

[0007] Preferably, the screw rods of the two locking bolts are respectively detachably connected to both sides of the socket, and the cross-sectional diameter of the frustum or arc-shaped curved surface at the head of the locking bolt is the largest at the end close to the screw rod.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting assembly further includes a movable plate slidably connected to the plug. A set of installation slots are opened at both ends of the movable plate. The sliders are located in the installation slots and are slidably connected to the installation slots. A limiting block is provided on the side wall of the slider and is slidably clamped with the movable plate. A set of second elastic members are fixedly connected to the side of the slider away from the socket. The end of the second elastic member away from the slider is fixedly connected to a fixing frame, and the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the movable plate. A fixing rod is slidably connected in the installation slot; the ratchet structure includes a driving ratchet and a ratchet groove. The driving ratchet is fixed to one side of the slider, and the ratchet groove is fixed to the side of the fixing rod close to the driving ratchet. When locking, the driving ratchet meshes with the ratchet groove, and when disassembling, the driving ratchet is forced away from the ratchet groove, and the two are separated.

[0009] Preferably, the plug includes a first housing and a second housing fixed to the first housing by bolts. First sliding grooves and second sliding grooves are respectively opened on the inner walls of the opposite sides of the first housing and the second housing. The first sliding groove is close to the plug, and the second sliding groove is far from the plug. Cover plates are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the opposite sides of the first housing and the second housing.

[0010] Preferably, an adjustment assembly is provided inside the plug, and the adjustment assembly includes two fixed shafts respectively fixedly connected to the cover plate, the fixed shafts are rotatably connected to an adjustment rod, a side wall of one end of the adjustment rod close to the plug interface is fixedly connected to a first elastic member, an end of the first elastic member away from the adjustment rod is respectively fixedly connected to the first shell and the inner wall of the second shell, the movable plate is slidably connected to the first slide groove, a movable part is slidably connected in the second slide groove, connecting grooves are respectively provided on the movable plate and the side of the movable part close to the adjusting rod, and both ends of the adjusting rod are transmission-connected to the movable part and the connecting plate through the connecting grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the movable part includes a button and a 匚-shaped connecting frame fixedly connected to the button, and two sides of the connecting frame are located in the second slide groove and are slidably connected to the second slide groove.

[0012] Preferably, the moving track of the movable plate and the moving track of the connecting frame are arranged in parallel, and the moving directions of the movable plate and the connecting frame are opposite.

[0013] Preferably, the first elastic member and the second elastic member are not subjected to force in an initial state, and the adjustment rod and the movable plate are in a vertical state.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the adjusting rod is arc-shaped, and when the adjusting rod is perpendicular to the movable plate, its two ends are respectively matched with the connecting groove on the movable plate and the connecting groove on the connecting frame, and the two ends of the adjusting rod are always in contact with the connecting groove.

[0015] Preferably, a mounting plate is provided between the socket and the locking bolt, and the screw rod of the locking bolt passes through the mounting plate.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention: (1) The quick-lock connector described in the present invention is a quick-lock connector. Through the plug-in connection of the plug and the socket, the connection component and the locking bolt are abutted against each other. During the plug-in process, the two inclined surfaces cooperate to cause the slider and the movable plate to move synchronously. After the locking bolt and the slider are engaged, the plug is pushed in continuously so that the slider slides toward the inside of the plug and is restricted by the ratchet structure and cannot be reset. Automatic locking is achieved when the plug and the socket are plugged in, preventing the connector from loosening. The locking can be triggered by only pushing in. Moreover, the length difference caused by the manual rotation of the locking bolts on both sides can also be automatically adapted and fixed by the sliding slider in the connection component, thereby achieving rapid self-locking and improving locking efficiency and reliability.

[0017] (2) In the quick-lock connector described in the present invention, the second elastic member provided at the bottom of the slider enables the active pawl to always be tightly engaged with the ratchet groove during the downward movement of the slider, so that the plug cannot move in the direction of removal after being inserted. At the same time, the slider also has a limiting effect on the head of the locking bolt, thereby forming a double locking of the connector with the ratchet structure.

Detailed implementation manners

[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific implementation manners. Embodiment: As Figures 1 - 11As shown in the figure, a quick-lock connector according to the present invention includes a plug 2 and a socket 1 that mates with it, and a locking assembly is provided between the plug 2 and the socket 1; the locking assembly includes a connecting assembly 4 and two locking bolts 5 detachably connected to the socket 1. When locking, it is locked through the locking bolts 5 and a set of sliders 42 arranged inside the plug 2 corresponding to them. When the frustum or arc-shaped curved surface of the head of the locking bolt 5 is forcefully pressed against the arc-shaped surface portion 421 in the shape of an inclined surface arranged on the slider 42, it drives the movable plate 36 slidably connected to the slider 42 and the slider 42 to displace synchronously, so that the card slot 422 in the middle of the slider 42 is engaged with the head of the locking bolt 5 and reset, causing the ratchet structure arranged on one side of the slider 42 to engage. When the locking bolt 5 is engaged and presses the bottom of the card slot 422, the slider 42 slides into the plug 2 and is restricted by the ratchet structure and cannot be reset; when disassembling, push the movable plate 36 to drive the slider 42 to move, the head of the locking bolt 5 disengages from the card slot 422, the ratchet structure is guided to slip off, and the second elastic member 45 arranged at the bottom of the slider 42 pushes the slider 42 to reset, and pull the plug 2 outwards to achieve disassembly; each slider 42 can adapt to the docking length of the locking bolt 5 to achieve locking and resetting.

[0022] In this embodiment, before the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 1, adjust the two locking bolts 5 to the appropriate positions. For example, if no clicking sound (such as a click sound) is heard during insertion, manually adjust the locking bolts 5 again. During insertion, make the heads of the two locking bolts 5 abut against the sliders 42 at the same time, and the arc-shaped curved surface of the locking bolt 5 contacts the arc-shaped surface portion 421. Both of them are inclined surfaces. Therefore, during the insertion process, the locking bolt 5 with a fixed position pushes the slider 42 to cause it to displace, so that the originally engaged ratchet structure disengages. When the arc-shaped curved surface of the locking bolt 5 separates from the arc-shaped surface portion 421, the first elastic member 33 drives the movable plate 36 and the slider 42 to reset, the locking bolt 5 engages with the slider 42, and the ratchet structure engages again. Continue to push the plug 2 closer to the socket 1 so that the locking bolt 5 presses the slider 42, the second elastic member 45 is compressed, and the active ratchet 423 on the slider 42 slides on the fixed ratchet groove 461 until the plug 2 cannot be pushed in further. Under the restriction of the ratchet structure, the slider 42 cannot be reset. At this time, the ratchet structure is in an engaged state, and the slider 42 and the locking bolt 5 are in a clamped state, completing the self-locking of the plug 2 and the socket 1; when it needs to be disassembled, manually press the movable member 34, so that the connecting frame 342 drives the adjusting rod 31 to rotate, and at the same time the first elastic member 33 is compressed, driving the movable plate 36 and the slider 42 to displace, so that the head of the locking bolt 5 disengages from the card slot 422, and the ratchet structure disengages again, and the plug 2 can be pulled out of the socket 1.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figures 6 - 8As shown, the screws of two locking bolts 5 are respectively detachably connected to both sides of the socket 1. The cross-sectional diameter of the frustum or arc-shaped curved surface at the head of the locking bolt 5 is the largest at one end close to the screw; the connecting component 4 further includes a movable plate 36 slidably connected to the plug 2. A set of mounting grooves 41 are formed at both ends of the movable plate 36. The slider 42 is located in the mounting groove 41 and is slidably connected to the mounting groove 41. A limiting block is provided on the side wall of the slider 42 and is slidably clamped with the movable plate 36. A set of second elastic members 45 are fixedly connected to the side of the slider 42 away from the socket 1. One end of the second elastic member 45 away from the slider 42 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 44. The fixing frame 44 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 36. A fixing rod 46 is slidably connected in the mounting groove 41; the ratchet structure includes a driving ratchet 423 and a ratchet groove 461. The driving ratchet 423 is fixed to one side of the slider 42. The ratchet groove 461 is fixed to the side of the fixing rod 46 close to the driving ratchet 423. When locking, the driving ratchet 423 meshes with the ratchet groove 461. When disassembling, the driving ratchet 423 is forced to move away from the ratchet groove 461, and the two are separated; an installation plate 6 is provided between the socket 1 and the locking bolt 5. The screw of the locking bolt 5 penetrates through the installation plate 6; the locking bolt 5 is fixedly connected to the socket 1 through the thread on the screw. The head of the locking bolt 5 extends out of the socket 1 and is used to cooperate with the plug 2. When the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 1, the head of the locking bolt 5 abuts against the slider 42. The arc-shaped curved surface of the locking bolt 5 presses against the arc surface portion 421 of the slider 42. The horizontal thrust applied by the locking bolt 5 to the movable plate 36 is greater than the elastic force of the first elastic member 33, and the downward component force is less than the elastic force of the second elastic member 45, so that the slider 42 and the movable plate 36 are displaced synchronously along the track of the first chute 24. The first elastic member 33 is compressed. The originally meshed driving ratchet 423 and ratchet groove 461 are separated. When the two inclined surfaces are separated, the first elastic member 33 pushes the movable plate 36 and the slider 42 to reset, so that the head of the locking bolt 5 is clamped with the card slot 422 on the slider 42, and the ratchet structure meshes again. Continuing to push the plug 2 in makes the slider 42 slide on the movable plate 36. The second elastic member 45 is compressed. The driving ratchet 423 moves with the slider 42, and the meshing position with the ratchet groove 461 changes. And under the limitation of the ratchet structure, the slider 42 cannot be reset. When the plug 2 cannot be pushed in further, the plug 2 and the socket 1 are locked. When the plug 2 is separated from the socket 1, the first elastic member 33 and the second elastic member 45 drive the movable plate 36 and the slider 42 to reset. The synchronous moving direction of the movable plate 36 and the slider 42 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the slider 42 alone. The slider 42 can be displaced together with the movable plate 36 or can be displaced alone on the movable plate 36. When the movable plate 36 moves, the fixing rod 46 is always located in the mounting groove 41.

[0024] Specifically, as Figures 9 - 11As shown, the ratchet structure restricts the movement direction of the slider 42 in the engaged state. Cooperating with the second elastic member 45 at the bottom of the slider 42, the slider 42 can only move downward and cannot move upward. When neither the first elastic member 33 nor the second elastic member 45 is stressed, the engagement position of the active ratchet 423 and the ratchet groove 461 is at the upper end of the fixed rod 46. When the second elastic member 45 is compressed, the engagement position of the active ratchet 423 and the ratchet groove 461 is at the lower end of the fixed rod 46.

[0025] Specifically, as Figures 2 - 5 shown, an adjustment assembly 3 is provided inside the plug 2. The adjustment assembly 3 includes two fixed shafts 32 respectively fixedly connected to the cover plate 23. The fixed shafts 32 are rotatably connected to the adjustment rods 31. One end side wall of the adjustment rod 31 near the interface of the plug 2 is fixedly connected to a first elastic member 33. The end of the first elastic member 33 away from the adjustment rod 31 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 respectively. The movable plate 36 is slidably connected to the first chute 24, and a movable member 34 is slidably connected to the second chute 25. Connecting grooves 35 are respectively formed on one sides of the movable plate 36 and the movable member 34 close to the adjustment rod 31. Both ends of the adjustment rod 31 are respectively in transmission connection with the movable member 34 and the connecting plate through the connecting grooves 35. The movable member 34 includes a button 341 and a U-shaped connecting frame 342 fixedly connected to the button 341. Both sides of the connecting frame 342 are located in the second chute 25 and are slidably connected to the second chute 25. The first elastic member 33 and the second elastic member 45 are not stressed in the initial state, and the adjustment rod 31 and the movable plate 36 are in a vertical state. The position of the fixed shaft 32 remains unchanged all the time. The adjustment rod 31 rotates around the fixed shaft 32. Both ends of the adjustment rod 31 cooperate with the movable plate 36 and the connecting frame 342 through the connecting grooves 35. During insertion, the movable plate 36 will drive the slider 42 to displace synchronously, and the first elastic member 33 will be compressed. After self-locking is completed, the first elastic member 33 will push the movable plate 36 and the slider 42 to reset, and the first elastic member 33 will return to its initial state. When it is necessary to pull out the plug 2 from the socket 1, press the button 341 to make the connecting frame 342 move, so that the adjustment rod 31 rotates and drives the movable plate 36 to move. At the same time, the first elastic member 33 is compressed again, and the two sliders 42 are separated from the locking bolt 5, and the ratchet structure is also disengaged from the engagement. Keeping the button 341 pressed can pull out the plug 2 from the socket 1, realizing the disassembly of the plug 2 and the socket 1.

[0026] Specifically, the end of the adjusting rod 31 is arc-shaped. When the adjusting rod 31 is perpendicular to the movable plate 36, its two ends are respectively adapted to the connecting grooves 35 on the movable plate 36 and the connecting grooves 35 on the connecting frame 342, and the two ends of the adjusting rod 31 are always in contact with the connecting grooves 35. One implementation of the first elastic member 33 is a spring. When the first elastic member 33 is not stressed, the adjusting rod 31 is perpendicular to the movable plate 36 and the connecting frame 342. At this time, the contact surface between the connecting groove 35 and the end of the adjusting rod 31 is the largest. When the button 341 is pressed to make the connecting frame 342 slide, the adjusting rod 31 rotates around the fixed shaft 32, the first elastic member 33 is squeezed and compressed, the movable plate 36 moves in the opposite direction of the connecting frame 342, and the contact surface between the adjusting rod 31 and the connecting groove 35 decreases.

[0027] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the plug 2 includes a first housing 21 and a second housing 22 fixed to the first housing 21 by bolts. First sliding grooves 24 and second sliding grooves 25 are respectively formed on the inner walls of the opposite sides of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. The first sliding groove 24 is close to the plug 2, and the second sliding groove 25 is far from the plug 2. Cover plates 23 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the opposite sides of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. The two cover plates 23, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 provide support for the adjusting rod 31. The two cover plates 23 are respectively fixedly connected to the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. The two adjusting rods 31 are respectively located between the cover plate 23 and the first housing 21 and between the cover plate 23 and the second housing 22. When the movable plate 36 displaces, it slides in the first sliding groove 24, restricting the movable plate 36 and providing guidance for the movable plate 36 at the same time. The connecting frame 342 of the movable member 34 slides in the second sliding groove 25.

[0028] Specifically, the moving trajectories of the movable plate 36 and the connecting frame 342 are parallel, and the moving directions of the movable plate 36 and the connecting frame 342 are opposite. The two ends of the adjusting rod 31 cooperate with the movable plate 36 and the connecting frame 342 respectively. Therefore, when the adjusting rod 31 rotates, the sliding directions of the movable plate 36 and the connecting frame 342 are opposite, and the movements of the movable plate 36 and the connecting frame 342 can both drive the adjusting rod 31 to rotate.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, the plug 2 is inserted close to the socket 1, so that the two locking bolts 5 fixed on the socket 1 abut against the two sliders 42 on the plug 2. The arc-shaped curved surface of the locking bolt 5 abuts against the arc surface part 421 on the slider 42, and during the approaching process, the locking bolt 5 squeezes the slider 42 to cause it and the movable plate 36 to generate synchronous displacement. The first elastic member 33 is compressed, and the originally engaged ratchet structure disengages. When the arc-shaped curved surface of the locking bolt 5 separates from the arc surface part 421, the first elastic member 33 pushes the movable plate 36 and the slider 42 to reset. The head of the locking bolt 5 is engaged with the card slot 422 on the slider 42. Continuing to push the plug 2 makes the locking bolt 5 squeeze the slider 42, and the slider 42 slides on the movable plate 36. The second elastic member 45 is compressed, and the active pawl 423 is engaged with the ratchet slot 461 again. And under the restriction of the ratchet structure, the slider 42 cannot be reset, completing the quick locking of the connector, so that there is no shaking space between the plug 2 and the socket 1.

[0030] When it needs to be disassembled, manually press and hold the button 341 of the movable member 34, and push the connecting frame 342 to slide in the second chute 25, so that the adjusting rod 31 rotates around the fixed shaft 32 as the center. The first elastic member 33 is compressed, and the movable plate 36 moves in the opposite direction of the moving direction of the connecting frame 342, and at the same time drives the two sliders 42 to move, so that the sliders 42 are separated from the locking bolts 5, so that the ratchet structure disengages. Maintaining this state can pull out the plug 2. After releasing the button 341, under the action of the first elastic member 33 and the second elastic member 45, the adjusting rod 31 drives the movable plate 36 and the slider 42 to reset, and the automatic locking can still be achieved by the insertion action during the next insertion.

[0031] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification only illustrate the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope claimed by the present invention.
