Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of connector technology, and particularly relates to a data center connector with protective properties. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial connectors play a critical infrastructure role in data centers, primarily in terms of power supply, data transmission, reliability, and operational efficiency. They are suitable for high-density cabinet scenarios and can significantly improve deployment efficiency and operational security.
[0003] In existing technologies, industrial connectors used in data centers consist of two parts: a male connector and a female connector. Since the female connector contains live contacts, accidental contact must be prevented. Therefore, the female connector of an industrial connector is usually equipped with a cover. When not in use, the cover can be used to shield and protect the interior. However, the male connector of an industrial connector usually lacks protective measures. When separated from the female connector, the pins inside the male connector are easily exposed to dust due to long-term exposure. As a result, when the male connector is reconnected to the female connector, the pins inside the male connector can easily bring dust into the interior of the female connector, which can easily lead to problems such as poor contact during the use of the entire industrial connector. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a data center connector with protective features, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the lack of a protective structure in the male connector of existing industrial connectors for data centers, which leads to dust accumulation in the male connector after separation from the female connector, and the dust being easily carried into the female connector later, resulting in poor contact of the connector.
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a data center connector with protective capabilities, comprising: a connector body for a data center, the connector body being composed of a male connector head and a female connector head that are mutually mated; a first housing fixedly mounted on the male connector head, the first housing having a rectangular hole; a second housing fixedly mounted on the female connector head, the second housing having a horizontal plate inside; a rectangular rod slidably mounted on the second housing, one end of the rectangular rod being fixedly connected to the horizontal plate, the rectangular rod being adapted to the rectangular hole, the rectangular rod being used to assist in the mating of the male connector head and the female connector head; and a dustproof shielding mechanism mounted on the first housing for preventing dust from entering the pins of the male connector head.
[0006] Preferably, the shielding mechanism includes: a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first housing, with the same arc-shaped rod fixedly installed between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate; a first spring slidably sleeved on the arc-shaped rod, one end of the first spring being fixedly connected to the first fixing plate; a slider slidably installed on the arc-shaped rod, one side of the slider being fixedly connected to the first spring; a first gear rotatably installed on the inner wall of the first housing, the first gear being fixedly connected to the slider; a second gear rotatably installed on the inner wall of the first housing, the second gear meshing with the first gear; an L-shaped connecting rod fixedly installed on the second gear, the L-shaped connecting rod being slidably connected to a strip hole on the first housing; and a fixing frame fixedly installed on the L-shaped connecting rod, with a cover plate fixedly installed on the fixing frame, and an elastic pad fixedly installed on the cover plate.
[0007] Preferably, the connector female head is provided with a cover, and the inner wall of the cover is provided with a sealing layer, and the cover is used to cover the inside of the connector female head.
[0008] Preferably, the data center connector with protective properties further includes an assist mechanism mounted on the second housing, the assist mechanism being used to assist in separating the male connector head and the female connector head.
[0009] Preferably, the assist mechanism includes: a pressure rod slidably mounted on the second housing, one end of which is fixedly mounted with a pressure block, and a second spring slidably sleeved on the pressure rod; a pressure plate fixedly mounted on the pressure rod; a first hinge block fixedly mounted on the pressure block; a scissor lift frame disposed inside the second housing, the top end of which is hinged to the first hinge block, and the bottom end of which is hinged to a second hinge block, the second hinge block being slidably connected to a sliding groove on the cross plate; and a slide rod fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the sliding groove, the slide rod being slidably connected to the second hinge block.
[0010] Preferably, a telescopic sleeve is provided on the outside of the second spring. The telescopic sleeve is used to cover the second spring. One end of the telescopic sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second housing, and the other end of the telescopic sleeve is fixedly connected to the pressure plate.
[0011] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly installed on the pressure plate. The baffle is rectangular and is used to block the operator's hands.
[0012] Preferably, a reinforcing plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second housing, and a reinforcing rod is slidably installed on the reinforcing plate.

Furthermore, during insertion, the rectangular rod triggers a shielding mechanism, allowing the cover plate on the shielding mechanism to open to both sides, exposing the pins inside the male connector and facilitating smooth insertion. Additionally, when the male and female connectors are pulled apart, they separate first, and then the rectangular rod slides out of the rectangular hole. After the rectangular rod slides out, the cover plate on the shielding mechanism automatically moves inward to shield the pins inside the male connector, preventing them from accumulating dust due to prolonged exposure. This effectively solves the problem of existing industrial connectors for data centers lacking a protective structure on the male connector, leading to dust accumulation in the male connector pins after separation, which can later be carried into the female connector, causing poor contact.

[0018] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0019] This invention provides a data center connector with protective properties, such as... Figure 1-10As shown, the data center connector with protective performance includes: a connector body for a data center, the connector body being composed of a male connector 1 and a female connector 2 that are mutually mated; a first housing 3 fixedly mounted on the male connector 1, the first housing 3 having a rectangular hole 4; a second housing 5 fixedly mounted on the female connector 2, the second housing 5 having a horizontal plate 6 inside; a rectangular rod 8 slidably mounted on the second housing 5, one end of the rectangular rod 8 being fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 6, the rectangular rod 8 being adapted to the rectangular hole 4, the rectangular rod 8 being used to assist in the mating of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2; and a shielding mechanism mounted on the first housing 3 for dust protection of the pins inside the male connector 1.
[0020] In this embodiment, when using the connector body for the data center, one hand holds the male connector 1 and the other hand holds the female connector 2. Then, the female connector 2 is moved to insert the rectangular rod 8 into the rectangular hole 4. At this point, the insertion positions of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are positioned to prevent misalignment during insertion. Then, the female connector 2 is moved, and the male connector 1 is also moved, bringing them closer together so they can be inserted. This allows the pins in the male connector 1 to be inserted into the female connector 2. During insertion, the rectangular rod 8 first enters the first housing 3 and triggers the blocking mechanism, causing the cover plate 19 on the blocking mechanism to open to both sides, allowing the pins in the male connector 1 to be inserted. The pins can be exposed, making the insertion of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 smooth and requiring minimal operation. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are pulled apart, they will separate first, and then the rectangular rod 8 will slide out of the rectangular hole 4. At this time, without much operation, the cover plate 19 on the shielding mechanism will automatically move inward to shield the pins inside the male connector 1, preventing them from accumulating a lot of dust due to long-term exposure. This way, when they are inserted into the female connector 2 later, dust will not be brought into the interior of the female connector 2, making the connector body safer in use and less prone to problems such as poor contact.
[0021] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shielding mechanism includes: a first fixing plate 10 and a second fixing plate 11 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first housing 3, with the same arc-shaped rod 12 fixedly installed between the first fixing plate 10 and the second fixing plate 11; a first spring 13 slidably sleeved on the arc-shaped rod 12, one end of the first spring 13 being fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 10; a slider 14 slidably installed on the arc-shaped rod 12, one side of the slider 14 being fixedly connected to the first spring 13; a first gear 44 rotatably installed on the inner wall of the first housing 3, the first gear 44 being fixedly connected to the slider 14; a second gear 15 rotatably installed on the inner wall of the first housing 3, the second gear 15 meshing with the first gear 44; an L-shaped connecting rod 16 fixedly installed on the second gear 15, the L-shaped connecting rod 16 being slidably connected to a strip hole 17 on the first housing 3; a fixing frame 18 fixedly installed on the L-shaped connecting rod 16, a cover plate 19 fixedly installed on the fixing frame 18, and an elastic pad 20 fixedly installed on the cover plate 19.
[0022] In this embodiment, the shielding mechanism is used to prevent dust from entering the pins inside the male connector 1. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are inserted, the rectangular rod 8 is first inserted into the interior of the first housing 3 through the rectangular hole 4. During the insertion process, the rectangular rod 8 contacts the slider 14 and pushes the slider 14 to slide on the arc-shaped rod 12. The slider 14 drives the first gear 44 to rotate and compress the first spring 13. The first gear 44 drives the second gear 15 to rotate. The second gear 15 drives the L-shaped connecting rod 16 to slide on the strip hole 17. The L-shaped connecting rod 16 drives the fixing frame 18 to move. The fixing frame 18 drives the cover plate 19 to move, so that the cover plate 19 can open to both sides, allowing the elastic pad 20 on the cover plate 19 to detach from the male connector 1. In this way, the pins inside the male connector 1 can be exposed, making the insertion of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 smoother. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are pulled apart, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2... The female connector 2 will separate first, and then the rectangular rod 8 will slide out of the rectangular hole 4. During the sliding process, the rectangular rod 8 will disengage from the slider 14. At this time, the first spring 13 will use its own elastic force to push the slider 14 to slide on the arc rod 12, causing the slider 14 to drive the first gear 44 to rotate in the opposite direction. The first gear 44 will drive the second gear 15 to rotate in the opposite direction. The second gear 15 will drive the L-shaped connecting rod 16 to slide in the opposite direction on the strip hole 17. The L-shaped connecting rod 16 will drive the fixing bracket 18 to move in the opposite direction. The fixing bracket 18 will drive the cover plate 19 to move in the opposite direction, so that the cover plate 19 and the elastic pad 20 will automatically reset and cover the pins in the male connector 1 to prevent the pins in the male connector 1 from accumulating a lot of dust due to long-term exposure. In this way, when it is plugged into the female connector 2 later, dust will not be brought into the interior of the female connector 2. The whole operation does not require too much operation. The above work can be achieved by simply plugging and unplugging the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, which is convenient to use.
[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connector female head 2 is provided with a cover 9, the inner wall of the cover 9 is provided with a sealing layer, and the cover 9 is used to cover the interior of the connector female head 2.
[0024] In this embodiment, the cover 9 is a prior art technology on the existing connector female head 2. When the connector male head 1 and the connector female head 2 are separated, the cover 9 can be used to cover the end of the connector female head 2. In conjunction with the use of the sealing layer, the inside of the connector female head 2 can be sealed and shielded. This not only prevents dust and water, but also prevents personnel from accidentally contacting the inside of the connector female head 2.
[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the data center connector with protective performance further includes an assist mechanism mounted on the second housing 5, the assist mechanism being used to assist in separating the male connector 1 and the female connector 2.
[0026] In this embodiment, the use of an assist mechanism makes it easier to separate the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, reducing the physical exertion of the operator.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the assisting mechanism includes: a pressure rod 21 slidably mounted on the second housing 5, one end of which is fixedly mounted with a pressure block 22, and a second spring 24 slidably sleeved on the pressure rod 21; a pressure plate 23 fixedly mounted on the pressure rod 21; a first hinge block 25 fixedly mounted on the pressure block 22; a scissor lift frame 26 disposed inside the second housing 5, the top end of the scissor lift frame 26 being hinged to the first hinge block 25, and the bottom end of the scissor lift frame 26 being hinged to a second hinge block 27, the second hinge block 27 being slidably connected to a sliding groove 28 on the cross plate 6; and a slide rod 29 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the sliding groove 28, the slide rod 29 being slidably connected to the second hinge block 27.
[0028] In this embodiment, when separating the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, the hand holding the female connector 2 can not only apply pulling force but also simultaneously pinch and press the pressure plate 23, causing the pressure plate 23 to drive the pressure rod 21 to slide on the second housing 5. At the same time, the second spring 24 is also compressed, and the pressure rod 21 will drive the pressure block 22 to move. The pressure block 22 will drive the scissor lift frame 26 to work, causing the scissor lift frame 26 to drive the second hinge block 27 to move down and slide on the slide rod 29 and the sliding groove 28. Under the downward movement of the second hinge block 27, the horizontal plate 6 will simultaneously move down, thereby pushing the rectangular rod. The rectangular rod 8 moves into the interior of the first housing 3, so that it presses against the inner wall of the first housing 3 and applies a pushing force to the first housing 3. In this way, when using both hands to pull the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, the rectangular rod 8 can provide assistance, making it easier to pull and separate the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, reducing the difficulty of separation. After separation, if the pressure plate 23 is released, the second spring 24 will push the pressure plate 23 back to its original position through its own elasticity. At the same time, it can also reset the pressure rod 21, the pressure block 22, the first hinge block 25, the scissor lift frame 26, the second hinge block 27, the horizontal plate 6 and the rectangular rod 8.
[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a telescopic sleeve 42 is provided on the outside of the second spring 24. The telescopic sleeve 42 is used to cover the second spring 24. One end of the telescopic sleeve 42 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second housing 5, and the other end of the telescopic sleeve 42 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 23.
[0030] In this embodiment, the use of the telescopic sleeve 42 can shield and protect the second spring 24, and at the same time can prevent the skin of personnel from being pinched by the second spring 24 to a certain extent.
[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a baffle 32 is fixedly installed on the pressure plate 23. The baffle 32 is rectangular and is used to block the operator's hands.
[0032] In this embodiment, the baffle 32 can prevent the person's hand from slipping while the person is pulling the connector female head 2 and pinching and pressing the pressure plate 23.
[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a reinforcing plate 30 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second housing 5, and a reinforcing rod 31 is slidably installed on the reinforcing plate 30. One end of the reinforcing rod 31 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 23, and the reinforcing rod 31 is used to stabilize the pressure plate 23.
[0034] In this embodiment, while the pressure plate 23 is pinched and pressed, the reinforcing rod 31 connected to the pressure plate 23 slides on the reinforcing plate 30 at the same time, so that the pressure plate 23 will not deform during operation, making it more stable in use.
[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cover plate 19 and the elastic pad 20 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the male connector 1, and both the cover plate 19 and the elastic pad 20 are semi-circular.
[0036] In this embodiment, the semi-circular cover plate 19 and the elastic pad 20 can effectively shield and protect the pins inside the male connector 1, preventing them from being exposed to the outside and getting contaminants such as dust when not in use.
[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting block 7 is fixedly installed on the horizontal plate 6, and the limiting block 7 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 43 on the second housing 5. The limiting block 7 is used to prevent the horizontal plate 6 and the rectangular rod 8 from moving excessively downward or upward within the second housing 5.
[0038] In this embodiment, the use of the limiting block 7 and the limiting groove 43 together ensures that the horizontal plate 6 moves stably in a straight line within the second housing 5. When the horizontal plate 6 moves, the limiting block 7 fixed to it will slide within the limiting groove 43 at the same time.
[0039] To further improve the performance of this device, in addition to the above-mentioned solutions, this solution also includes the following embodiments: In another embodiment of the present invention, a locking mechanism for locking the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 is installed on the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. The locking mechanism includes: a third housing 33 fixedly installed on the male connector 1, a third spring 34 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the third housing 33, and a connecting plate 35 fixedly installed on the third spring 34; a movable rod 36 slidably installed on the third housing 33, one end of the movable rod 36 being fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 35, and a first triangular block 37 fixedly installed on the other end of the movable rod 36; and a second triangular block 38 fixedly installed on the female connector 2.
[0040] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism is used to lock the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are inserted, the inclined surface of the first triangular block 37 contacts the inclined surface of the second triangular block 38, allowing the first triangular block 37 to slide on the second triangular block 38. This causes the first triangular block 37 to push the moving rod 36 outward, while the moving rod 36 simultaneously slides on the third housing 33. The moving rod 36 then drives the connecting plate 35 to press the third spring 34 fixed to the inner wall of the third housing 33. After the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are inserted into place, the first triangular block 37 and the second triangular block 38... When the plane of 8 contacts, under the elastic action of the third spring 34, the connecting plate 35 can be pushed to move in the opposite direction. The connecting plate 35 will push the moving rod 36 to slide in the opposite direction on the third housing 33. The moving rod 36 will drive the first triangular block 37 to move in the opposite direction, so that the first triangular block 37 can fit against the top of the second triangular block 38. At this time, when the external force pulls the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, the first triangular block 37 will lock with the second triangular block 38 to prevent the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 from separating. This can ensure the safety of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 in the connection, and the effect is better, which can improve the reliability of the connection.
[0041] In another embodiment of the present invention, a pushing mechanism for moving the first triangular block 37 is installed on the third housing 33 and the rectangular rod 8. The pushing mechanism includes: a trapezoidal block 39 fixedly installed on the rectangular rod 8; and a crossbar 40 slidably installed on the third housing 33. One end of the crossbar 40 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 35, and the other end of the crossbar 40 is fixedly installed with the third triangular block 41.
[0042] In this embodiment, when the operator uses the assist mechanism to move the rectangular rod 8 towards the inner wall of the first housing 3, the trapezoidal block 39 fixed to the rectangular rod 8 will also move simultaneously. The inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 39 will push the inclined surface of the third triangular block 41, thereby causing the third triangular block 41 to drive the horizontal bar 40 to move into the interior of the third housing 33. The horizontal bar 40 will drive the connecting plate 35 to compress the third spring 34 until the tip of the third triangular block 41 contacts the plane of the trapezoidal block 39. At this time, the moving rod 36 connected to the connecting plate 35 will move the first triangular block 37 to a position that can be offset from the second triangular block 38, thereby releasing the locking mechanism from locking the connector male head 1 and the connector female head 2. Subsequently, one end of the rectangular rod 8 will press against the inner wall of the first housing 3 and apply a pushing force to the first housing 3. Thus, when using both hands to pull the connector male head 1 and the connector female head 2, the operator can move the first triangular block 37 to a position that can be offset from the second triangular block 38, thereby releasing the locking mechanism from locking the connector male head 1 and the connector female head 2. When the male connector 1 and female connector 2 are slightly separated, the plane of the first triangular block 37 can easily move below the plane of the second triangular block 38. The inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 39 will contact the inclined surface of the third triangular block 41 again and gradually separate. At this time, under the elastic action of the third spring 34, the connecting plate 35, the crossbar 40, the third triangular block 41, the moving rod 36 and the first triangular block 37 will be reset. When the rectangular rod 8 is pulled out from the first housing 3, the trapezoidal block 39 on the rectangular rod 8 will squeeze and push the third triangular block 41 again. When the rectangular rod 8 is pulled out from the first housing 3, the male connector 1 and female connector 2 are completely separated. The operation is simple and convenient. The above work can be achieved by twisting and pressing the pressure plate 23 at the same time when pulling the male connector 1 and female connector 2. No complicated operation is required.
[0043] In summary, compared with related technologies, this data center connector with protective performance can position the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 during use through the cooperation of the rectangular hole 4 and the rectangular rod 8, preventing misalignment during insertion. Furthermore, during insertion, the rectangular rod 8 can trigger a shielding mechanism, allowing the cover plate 19 on the shielding mechanism to open to both sides, exposing the pins inside the male connector 1, thus facilitating smooth insertion of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. Additionally, when the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are pulled apart, they will separate first, and then the rectangular rod 8 will slide out from the rectangular hole 4. The cover plate 19 on the shielding mechanism will automatically move inward to shield the pins inside the male connector 1, preventing the pins inside the male connector 1 from accumulating a lot of dust due to long-term exposure. This effectively solves the problem that existing industrial connectors for data centers lack a protective structure for the male connector, which causes the pins inside the male connector to easily accumulate dust after the male connector is separated from the female connector, and this dust can easily be carried into the female connector later, leading to poor contact of the connector.
