Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a medical instrument wire harness connector facilitating quick plug-in and plug-out. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of medical instruments, quick plug-in and plug-out wire harness connectors are widely used in medical devices such as monitors, surgical instruments, and in-vitro diagnostic devices, because they can significantly simplify the operation process and improve the efficiency of device connection. To achieve the convenience of quick plug-in and plug-out, the current mainstream wire harness connectors are usually designed to be in an open and exposed state in the unconnected state, with the connection port directly in contact with the external environment.

[0003] Although this open structure is convenient to operate, it has obvious technical defects. In a medical environment, dust particles floating in the external air are likely to accumulate on the surface of the connector metal contacts, forming an insulating layer and affecting current conduction. The adsorption and condensation of water vapor can cause the oxidation of metal contacts, significantly increasing the contact resistance and reducing the stability of the connection. At the same time, corrosive gases that may exist in a medical environment, such as chemical gases generated during disinfection, can chemically react with metal contacts, accelerating the corrosion process of the metal. The above problems not only cause the transmission performance of the connector to decline, leading to electrical faults such as signal transmission interruption and data loss, but also can cause safety hazards during the operation of medical devices, and in severe cases, even endanger the safety of patients' lives.

The first connector 2 is provided with an air bag 82 in communication with the plug-in channel 21. The above-mentioned arrangement can make the airflow flow between the plug-in channel 21 and the air bag 82 along with the movement of the shielding plate 4, effectively keep the internal pressure stable, and prevent the excessive pressure from affecting the equipment.

[0045] The medical instrument wire harness connector convenient for quick plugging and unplugging provided by the embodiment is provided with a first limiting plane 91 on the inner wall of the plug-in channel 21; the outer wall of the protective shell 5 is provided with a second limiting plane 92 matched with the first limiting plane 91; the first limiting plane 91 is provided with a locking pin 93 in an extendible and retractable manner; the locking pin 93 is provided with a locking spring 94 between the locking pin 93 and the first connector 2; the outer wall of the first connector 2 is provided with a handle 13; the handle 13 is connected with the locking pin 93; the outer wall of the protective shell 5 is provided with an abutting inclined surface 95 matched with the locking pin 93; the protective shell 5 is provided with a perforation 96; the second connector 3 is provided with a locking hole 97; the locking pin 93 is locked through the perforation 96 and the locking hole 97.

[0046] Specifically, the medical instrument wire harness connector convenient for quick plugging and unplugging provided by the embodiment, before the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 are plugged, the first valve plate shields the first opening 41, and the second valve plate shields the first opening 41, so as to seal the first terminal 22 in the plug-in channel 21 and seal the second terminal 32 in the protective shell 5, effectively preventing the pollution and corrosion of the external environment to the first terminal 22 and the second terminal 32, and ensuring that the connector can also maintain good electrical performance in the unconnected state.

[0047] When it is needed to plug the first connector 2 and the second connector 3, the protective shell 5 and the second connector 3 are inserted into the plug-in channel 21, under the action of the abutting inclined surface 95, the locking pin 93 is pushed to shrink into the first connector 2, the second connector 3 is pushed to move towards the inside of the plug-in channel 21, the protective shell 5 and the shielding plate 4 abut, and the clamping block 71 and the clamping groove 72 abut;

[0048] By setting the rigidity of the first reset spring 23 to be greater than the rigidity of the second reset spring 36, continued pushing of the second connector 3 moves so that the relative sliding between the protective shell 5 and the second connector 3 occurs, so that the rotating pin 62 moves in the spiral rotating groove 35, so that the driving ring 6 rotates relative to the protective shell 5, under the limiting action of the arc-shaped guide groove 56 and the straight guide groove 57, the two driving pins 61 drive the second left valve piece 53 and the second right valve piece 54 to move away from each other, thereby opening the second opening 51, and at the same time, through the cooperation of the clamping block 71 and the clamping groove 72, the first left valve piece 43 and the first right valve piece 44 are driven to move away from each other, thereby opening the first opening 41; until the rotating pin 62 moves to the end of the second straight rotating groove 34, the relative sliding between the protective shell 5 and the second connector 3 cannot occur, so continued pushing of the second connector 3 moves to the inside of the plug-in channel 21, driving the protective shell 5 and the shielding plate 4 to continue to move to the inside of the plug-in channel 21, until the perforation 96 and the locking hole 97 move to the position of the locking pin 93, under the action of the locking spring 94, the locking pin 93 resets and is locked through the perforation 96 and the locking hole 97, at this time the first terminal 22 passes through the first opening 41, the second terminal 32 passes through the second opening 51, the first terminal 22 contacts the second terminal 32, and the electrical conduction between the probe body 11 and the wire harness body 12 is completed.

[0049] When it is necessary to separate the first connector 2 and the second connector 3, only the locking pin 93 needs to be driven through the handle 13, so that the locking pin 93 exits from the perforation 96 and the locking hole 97, under the action of the first reset spring 23, the second reset spring 36 and the first sealing spring 45, the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 reset; and in the process of resetting the shielding plate 4, the shielding plate 4 sweeps the dust of the plug-in channel 21 to the dust falling port 90,
