Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of connector mating, and in particular to a quick-reset self-locking connector mating device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional circular connectors mostly use manual mating and disassembly, which requires the connector to be installed in a visible space and directly operated by hand. However, in some cases, due to the limitations of the device layout, the connector needs to be installed in a closed space, where the mating situation cannot be directly observed. Moreover, the installation space is small and closed, making it impossible to directly perform mating and disassembly operations. Existing mating methods cannot realize the mating and disassembly functions of the connector. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a quick reset self-locking connector docking device, which solves the problems in the prior art and improves the efficiency and stability of connector docking.

[0004] The quick-reset self-locking connector docking device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A quick-reset self-locking connector mating device, comprising: A base plate has a mating hole in the middle for mounting a socket. A support frame is fixedly mounted on the base plate. A guide frame is fixed to the base plate inside the support frame. A mounting bracket is mounted on the guide frame. Slider blocks are provided on opposite sides of the mounting bracket. The sliders are slidably mounted on the guide frame. The mounting bracket is used to detachably fix the plug that mates with the socket. The area of ​​the mounting bracket for mounting the connector is aligned with the mating hole. The rotating shaft is mounted on the support frame. A rotating frame is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft. One side of the rotating frame is connected to the slider via a linkage mechanism. One end of the linkage mechanism is hinged to the rotating frame, and the other end of the linkage mechanism is hinged to the slider. The support frame is provided with a locking mechanism, which is used to lock the rotation of the rotating shaft relative to the support frame when the plug and socket are mated. The guide frame is provided with a reset mechanism, which is used to drive the rotating frame to move the mounting frame away from the mating hole when the locking mechanism unlocks the rotating shaft.

[0005] Optionally, the locking mechanism includes a sleeve, a clamping plate, and a turntable located at one end of the rotating shaft; The sleeve is fixed on the support frame and sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft. The clamping plate is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft and slides within the sleeve along the axial direction of the rotating shaft. The clamping plate and the sleeve are relatively stationary in the circumferential direction. The turntable is fixed on the rotating shaft. The opposing sides of the clamping plate and the turntable are provided with mutually cooperating helical teeth. The side of the clamping plate facing away from the turntable is provided with a clamping spring. The clamping spring is used to press the clamping plate against the turntable. When the helical teeth of the clamping plate and the turntable are engaged, the turntable rotates in the direction of the helical teeth to bring the mounting frame closer to the docking hole.

[0006] Optionally, a push plate is sleeved on the outer periphery of the turntable. The inner wall of the push plate and the outer periphery of the turntable are provided with matching limiting protrusions. The outwardly protruding limiting protrusion of the turntable abuts against the end face of the pressing plate, and the inwardly protruding limiting protrusion of the push plate abuts against the end face of the pressing plate. The end face of the push plate facing the pressing plate is used to abut against the end face of the pressing plate.

[0007] Optionally, the linkage mechanism includes a hinge seat for connecting the rotating frame and the slider. The two hinge seats are connected by a telescopic rod. A first spring is provided between the two hinge seats and sleeved on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod. The first spring is used to apply a force to the two hinge seats to move them away from each other. The axis of the hinge seat is parallel to the rotating shaft.

[0008] Optionally, the end face of the rotating shaft is provided with an internal hexagonal hole for use with a hexagonal wrench.

[0009] Optionally, the reset mechanism includes a torsion spring, the spring coil of which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft. The rotating frame includes a first connecting frame and a second connecting frame disposed relative to the rotating shaft. The first connecting frame is used to connect with the linkage mechanism. One end of the torsion spring is fixed on the guide frame, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the second connecting frame. The torsion spring is used to apply a force to the second connecting frame toward one side of the base plate.

[0010] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: In this embodiment of the docking device, during use, the socket is installed on the base plate with the socket's plug facing the mounting bracket, and the plug is installed on the mounting bracket with the plug facing the base plate. When docking is required, the rotating shaft is rotated, causing one side of the rotating bracket connected to the linkage mechanism to rotate closer to the base plate. The linkage mechanism drives the slider and mounting bracket closer to the base plate, and the locking mechanism locks the position of the rotating shaft, thus achieving connector docking. When separation is required, the locking mechanism is unlocked, and under the force of the reset mechanism, the rotating bracket rotates in the opposite direction to move the mounting bracket away from the docking hole, achieving connector separation. This improves the efficiency of connector docking and ensures the stability of connector docking under the action of the locking structure. Attached Figure Description

[0019] This application provides a quick-reset self-locking connector docking device.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a quick-reset self-locking connector docking device includes: A base plate 1 has a mating hole 11 in its center for mounting a socket. A support frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. A guide frame 3, fixed to the base plate 1, is located inside the support frame 2. A mounting frame 4 is mounted on the guide frame 3. Slider blocks 41 are located on opposite sides of the mounting frame 4 and are slidably mounted on the guide frame 3. The mounting frame 4 is used to detachably fix the plug that mates with the socket. The mounting frame 4 and the plug are fixed with screws. The area of ​​the mounting frame 4 where the connector is mounted is aligned with the mating hole 11. In this embodiment, the support frame 2 includes two opposing support plates, and the guide frame 3 is located between the two support plates, and the guide frame 3 includes two opposing guide plates. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 2. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 5 passes through the top end of the guide frame 3. A rotating frame 6 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 5. One side of the rotating frame 6 is connected to the slider 41 via a linkage mechanism 7. One end of the linkage mechanism 7 is hinged to the rotating frame 6, and the other end of the linkage mechanism 7 is hinged to the slider 41. The support frame 2 is provided with a locking mechanism 8, which is used to lock the rotation of the rotating shaft 5 relative to the support frame 2 when the plug and socket are connected. The guide frame 3 is provided with a reset mechanism 9, which is used to drive the rotating frame 6 to move the mounting frame 4 away from the docking hole 11 when the locking mechanism 8 unlocks the rotating shaft 5.

[0021] In this embodiment, the docking device is used such that the socket is installed on the base plate 1 with the plug end facing the mounting bracket 4, and the plug is installed on the mounting bracket 4 with the plug end facing the base plate 1. When docking is required, the rotating shaft 5 is rotated, and one side of the rotating bracket 6 connected to the linkage mechanism 7 rotates closer to the base plate 1. The linkage mechanism 7 drives the slider 41 and the mounting bracket 4 closer to the base plate 1, and the position of the rotating shaft 5 is locked by the locking mechanism 8 to achieve docking of the connector. When separation is required, the locking mechanism 8 is unlocked, and under the force of the reset mechanism 9, the rotating bracket 6 rotates in the opposite direction to move the mounting bracket 4 away from the docking hole 11, thereby separating the connector.

[0022] The locking mechanism 8 includes a sleeve 81, a clamping plate 82, and a turntable 83 located at one end of the rotating shaft 5. The sleeve 81 is fixed to the support frame 2 and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 5. The clamping plate 82 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 5 and is slidably disposed within the sleeve 81 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 5. The clamping plate 82 and the sleeve 81 are relatively stationary in the circumferential direction. The turntable 83 is fixed to the rotating shaft 5. The opposing sides of the clamping plate 82 and the turntable 83 are provided with a plurality of helical teeth 84 that are evenly distributed circumferentially and cooperate with each other. The side of the clamping plate 82 facing away from the turntable 83 is provided with a clamping spring 85, which is used to press the clamping plate 82 against the turntable 83. When the helical teeth 84 of the clamping plate 82 and the turntable 83 are engaged, the turntable 83 rotates in the direction of the helical teeth 84 to bring the mounting bracket 4 closer to the docking hole 11. When unlocking is required, the clamping plate 82 is pushed in the direction away from the turntable 83 to separate the helical teeth 84 of the clamping plate 82 and the turntable 83. Under the action of the reset mechanism 9, the turntable 83 and the rotating shaft 5 rotate in opposite directions. In this embodiment, both the sleeve 81 and the clamping plate 82 are rotatably engaged with the rotating shaft 5. The sleeve 81 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves arranged in the axial direction, and the outer periphery of the clamping plate 82 is provided with protrusions that slide in cooperation with the guide grooves, so as to ensure that the clamping plate 82 can slide while restricting the circumferential rotation of the clamping plate 82.

[0023] A push plate 86 is fitted around the outer periphery of the turntable 83. The spring ring of the torsion spring 91 is fitted around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 5. The inner wall of the push plate 86 and the outer periphery of the turntable 83 are provided with matching limiting protrusions. The outwardly protruding limiting protrusion of the turntable 83 faces the end face of the clamping plate 82, and the inwardly protruding limiting protrusion of the push plate 86 abuts against the end face of the clamping plate 82. The end face of the push plate 86 facing the clamping plate 82 is used to abut against the end face of the clamping plate 82. The clamping plate 82 and the turntable 83 are separated by pressing the push plate 86. The design of the two limiting protrusions prevents the push plate 86 from falling off the turntable 83.

[0024] The linkage mechanism 7 includes a hinge seat 71 for connecting the rotating frame 6 and the slider 41. The two hinge seats 71 are connected by a telescopic rod 73. A first spring 72 is provided between the two hinge seats 71 and sleeved on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod 73. The first spring 72 is used to apply a force to the two hinge seats 71 to move away from each other. The axis of the hinge seat 71 is parallel to the rotating shaft 5. The telescopic design of this application is compatible with the locking mechanism 8 of this application. Since the locking mechanism 8 of this application is implemented by mutually cooperating helical teeth 84, the locking method of helical teeth 84 cannot achieve stepless locking. If a non-telescopic linkage is used, it will cause the helical teeth 84 on the pressing plate 82 and the rotating plate 83 to be in the wrong position when the plug and socket are stably plugged in, resulting in the locking and the stable plugging of the connector not being achieved at the same time. This application solves the above problem by designing a telescopic linkage mechanism 7. Moreover, the design of the first spring 72 can apply a force to the slider 41 toward the base plate 1, so that the socket can be stably pressed against the plug.

[0025] The reset mechanism 9 includes a torsion spring 91. The rotating frame 6 includes a first connecting frame 61 and a second connecting frame 62 arranged relative to the rotating shaft 5. The first connecting frame 61 is used to connect with the linkage mechanism 7. One end of the torsion spring 91 is fixed on the guide frame 3, and the other end of the torsion spring 91 is connected to the second connecting frame 62. The torsion spring 91 is used to apply a force to the second connecting frame 62 toward one side of the base plate 1.

[0026] The end face of the rotating shaft 5 is provided with an internal hexagonal hole 51 for use with a hexagonal wrench. The rotating shaft 5 is rotated by using the hexagonal wrench.

[0027] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
