Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector technology, and specifically provides a connector for an ultraviolet lamp body. Background Technology

[0002] An ultraviolet lamp is a device that emits ultraviolet light. It is an essential tool for observing the fluorescence and phosphorescence characteristics of samples and a physical means of sterilization and disinfection. It has a sterilization effect of up to 99%, and it is low in manufacturing cost, easy to install, easy to maintain, and does not cause secondary pollution.

[0003] In today's market, due to different occasions, different needs, and different effects, there are many different specifications for UV lamp connectors.

[0004] Most existing connectors are plug-in type, which conduct electricity by elastically engaging the conductive post of the connector with the cylinder of the connector. When the power line is connected, the momentary plugging can cause the edge of the conductive post to be charred. Furthermore, long-term use of plugging makes the connection between the lamp body and the connecting wire less secure, and one end of the lamp body can easily loosen. Therefore, we need to improve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the background art, and to propose a connector for ultraviolet lamp bodies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a connector for an ultraviolet lamp body, comprising: a connector, a coupling seat, and a plug. The connector has a circular groove on its inner side, a connecting pipe is engaged inside the circular groove, and the coupling seat is fitted inside the connecting pipe. Conductive posts are connected at equal intervals along the circumferential direction on the inner side of the plug. A flashlight is installed inside the coupling seat corresponding to the number of conductive posts. Multiple flashlights are provided with engaging conductive elements on their inner sides to connect with the conductive posts. A clamp is provided on the outer side of the coupling seat.

[0007] In the above scheme, the clamping conductive component further includes a conductive copper ring installed at the edge of the flashlight. The inner wall of the conductive copper ring is equipped with spring pieces at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. The conductive copper ring is elastically engaged with the conductive post through multiple sets of spring pieces.

[0008] In the above scheme, the clamping component further includes a ring sleeve fixedly fitted on the outside of the coupling seat, and multiple sets of abutment mechanisms are provided on the outside of the ring sleeve.

[0009] In the above scheme, further, the multiple sets of shell-blocking mechanisms include connecting plates that are fixedly installed on the outer side of the ring sleeve. A fixing strip is fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the connecting plate. A strip groove is opened on the inner side of the fixing strip. A cylindrical shell is provided inside the strip groove. An elastic component is provided inside the cylindrical shell. A movable component is provided on the outer side of the cylindrical shell. The top and bottom walls of the fixing strip are both provided with slots.

[0010] In the above scheme, the elastic component further includes sliding cavities all opened inside the cylindrical shell. A sliding rod is slidably installed inside the sliding cavity. A chuck is fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the sliding rod. A second spring is provided between the outer side of the sliding rod and the chuck. One end of the sliding rod passes through the outer side of the cylindrical shell and is connected to a contact block. A pressure component is provided inside the contact block. A pull rod is fixedly installed at the end of the sliding rod away from the contact block. One end of the pull rod passes through the outer side of the cylindrical shell. A stop plate is fixedly fitted on the outer side of the pull rod. One side surface of the stop plate abuts against the edge of the cylindrical shell.

[0011] In the above scheme, the pressurizing component further includes a vertical rod inserted through the inner side of the contact block, with abutment blocks slidably installed on the outer sides of the upper and lower ends of the vertical rod, and a first spring provided on the outer side of the vertical rod and between the vertical rod and the abutment blocks, with the upper and lower ends of the first spring connected to the outer wall of the contact block and the abutment blocks on the side close to each other, and one side of the abutment block being processed into a bevel.

[0012] In the above scheme, the moving part further includes a rolling ring that is movably fitted on the outside of the cylindrical shell, and the rolling ring rolls between two sets of slots.

[0013] In the above scheme, further, slide rails are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both sides of the connector, and connecting blocks are slidably installed on the outer sides of both sets of slide rails, and rubber plates are fixedly installed on the outer sides of the connecting blocks.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] When the charging tube inside the connector is connected to the plug, multiple sets of spring contacts inside the conductive copper ring abut against the conductive post inside the plug. After insertion, the corresponding contact block and abutment block on the outside of the ring can be elastically squeezed by the second spring inside the tube shell, causing the abutment block to abut against the outer shell of the plug. This method can enhance the connection strength between the plug and the connector when the plug is inserted. Furthermore, the two sets of elastically compressed abutment blocks can abut against the outside of the conductive post when inserted, driven by the first spring. The user can scrape off the arc debris on the outside of the conductive post by repeatedly pulling the tube horizontally, thereby preventing problems with the circuit connection due to arc debris.

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 The connector shown is for a UV lamp body, including: connector 1, engagement seat 2 and plug 3. A circular groove 27 is provided on the inner side of connector 1. A tube 30 is engaged in the inner side of the circular groove 27. The engagement seat 2 is engaged in the inner side of tube 30. The engagement seat 2, tube 30 and connector 1 are all conductors.

[0025] The inner side of the plug 3 is connected with conductive posts 12 at equal intervals along the circumference. The inner side of the connector 2 is equipped with flashlights 26 corresponding to the number of conductive posts 12. The inner side of each flashlight 26 is provided with a snap-fit ​​conductive component that connects to the conductive post 12. The flashlights 26 are inserted into the plug 3 to connect and energize the lamp body. The outer side of the connector 2 is provided with a clamp, which includes a ring 10 that is fixedly fitted on the outer side of the connector 2.

[0026] Both the end of the coupling seat 2 and the inner wall of the connector 1 are conductive, and the conductive post 12 is electrically connected to the charging tube 26;

[0027] Multiple sets of shell-stopping mechanisms are provided on the outer side of the ring sleeve 10. Each set of shell-stopping mechanisms includes a connecting plate 11 fixedly installed on the outer side of the ring sleeve 10. A fixing strip 5 is fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the connecting plate 11. A strip groove 4 is formed on the inner side of the fixing strip 5. A cylindrical shell 13 is provided inside the strip groove 4. The cylindrical shell 13 can move laterally within the strip groove 4. An elastic component is provided inside the cylindrical shell 13. The elastic component includes sliding cavities 29 all formed on the inner side of the cylindrical shell 13. A sliding rod 22 is slidably installed inside the sliding cavity 29. A chuck 23 is fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the sliding rod 22. A second spring 21 is provided between the outer side of the sliding rod 22 and the chuck 23. Under the action of the chuck 23, the sliding rod 22 can compress the second spring 21 inside the sliding cavity 29, thereby... The contact block 20 at the front end can be retracted. After the plug 3 is inserted later, the contact block 20 and the pressure assembly can abut against the outside of the plug 3. In this way, the connection strength between the plug 3 and the coupling seat 2 can be enhanced when the plug 3 is inserted. One end of the slide rod 22 passes through the outside of the cylindrical shell 13 and is connected to the contact block 20. The inner side of the contact block 20 is provided with a pressure assembly. The pressure assembly includes a vertical rod 18 that passes through and is inserted into the inner side of the contact block 20. The upper and lower ends of the vertical rod 18 are respectively slidably installed with abutment blocks 17. A first spring 19 is provided on the outer side of the vertical rod 18 and between it and the abutment block 17. The upper and lower ends of the first spring 19 are respectively connected to the outer wall of the contact block 20 and the abutment block 17 that are close to each other. One side of the abutment block 17 is processed into a bevel 16.

[0028] One side surface of the abutment 17 is machined into a bevel 16, which can effectively move the conductive post 12 between the two sets of abutments 17. Under the pull of the first spring 19, the two sets of abutments 17 are made to fit against the outside of the conductive post 12. The two sides of the abutment 17 can make contact with the excess part of the outside of the conductive post 12. The reciprocating lateral movement can easily remove the charred arc slag.

[0029] A pull rod 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rod 22 away from the contact block 20. One end of the pull rod 6 passes through the outside of the cylinder shell 13. A stop plate 7 is fixedly fitted on the outside of the pull rod 6. One side surface of the stop plate 7 abuts against the edge of the cylinder shell 13.

[0030] The ring 10 is used to install multiple sets of outer abutment mechanisms onto the outside of the coupling seat 2.

[0031] Pulling the lever 6 from the outside can move the front pressure component and the contact block 20 to the rear as a whole. The chuck 23 then squeezes the second spring 21 inside the slide cavity 29, thereby achieving a rebound effect. This allows the front contact block 20 to be locked outside the plug 3, arranged in a circumferential direction, enhancing the stability of the connection between the plug 3 and the connector 2.

[0032] A movable part is provided on the outside of the cylindrical shell 13. The top and bottom walls of the fixed strip 5 are provided with slots 14. The slots 14 facilitate the internal rolling ring 15 to roll along the inside. The movable part includes a rolling ring 15 that is movably fitted on the outside of the cylindrical shell 13. The rolling ring 15 rolls between two sets of slots 14.

[0033] During the lateral pulling process, the rolling ring 15 rolls inside the groove 14. The rolling ring 15 and the cylindrical shell 13 are in a rotating fit, which can be the rotation of a bearing.

[0034] The conductive component includes a conductive copper ring 24 installed on the edge of the flashlight 26. The inner wall of the conductive copper ring 24 is equipped with spring pieces 25 at equal intervals along the circumference. The conductive copper ring 24 is elastically engaged with the conductive post 12 through multiple sets of spring pieces 25. The edges of the multiple sets of spring pieces 25 are convex and are in close contact with the outer side of the conductive post 12 when the plug 3 is inserted.

[0035] The connecting plate 11 is used to install each set of fixing strips 5 onto the outside of the connecting seat 2. The corresponding cylindrical shell 13 can slide left and right inside the strip groove 4, so that the moving part inside the fixing strip 5 can achieve the purpose of clamping.

[0036] The outer walls of both sides of the connector 1 are fixedly installed with slide rails 8, and the outer sides of the two sets of slide rails 8 are slidably installed with connecting blocks 28, and the outer sides of the connecting blocks 28 are fixedly installed with rubber plates 9.

[0037] A slide rail 8 and a sliding connecting block 28 are provided on the outside of the connector 1. The excess wires of the plug 3 can be rolled up and hung up through the internal space of the rubber plate 9, so that after the plug 3 and the connector 1 are connected, the excess wires can be tidied up.

[0038] Working principle: During use, the worker can engage the junction box 26 inside the connector 2 with the multiple sets of spring pieces 25 inside the conductive copper ring 24. Under the elastic compression of the multiple sets of spring pieces 25, the conductive post 12 is wrapped inside the junction box 26. After insertion, the corresponding contact block 20 and abutment block 17 on the outer side of the ring 10 can be elastically compressed by the second spring 21 inside the cylinder shell 13, causing the abutment block 17 to abut against the outer shell of the plug 3. In this way, the connection strength between the plug 3 and the connector 2 can be enhanced when the plug 3 is inserted. Furthermore, the two sets of elastically compressed abutment blocks 17 can abut against the outer side of the conductive post 12 when inserted, driven by the first spring 19. The user can scrape off the arc debris on the outer side of the conductive post 12 by pulling it horizontally multiple times, thereby preventing problems with the circuit connection due to arc debris and ensuring the stability of the lamp body connection.
