[0002] Connectors generally refer to electrical connectors, that is, devices that connect two active devices to transmit current or signals. Commonly used connectors include D-SUB connectors and circular connectors. D-SUB connectors are industry standard connectors, typically including an insulating body, a harpoon-shaped locking plate, a back cover, and multiple conductive terminals. D-SUB connectors are widely used in computers and related equipment, industrial control, communication equipment, and testing instruments. Circular connectors are a type of connector with a basic cylindrical structure and circular mating surfaces. The cylindrical structure of circular connectors has inherent robustness and higher strength compared to other shapes.

[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] This invention provides a connector mounting device, including an adapter base 1, a fixing block, a clamping block, a first fixing post 40, and a second fixing post 41. The adapter base 1, the fixing block, and the clamping block are made of epoxy resin, which not only provides insulation but also ensures strength without scratching the connector. The fixing block can be used for bolt and nut mounting of D-SUB connectors; the clamping block can be used for tightening one end of a circular connector.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the adapter base 1 is provided with anti-foolproof adapter holes 10, which include a first anti-foolproof adapter hole 100 and a second anti-foolproof adapter hole 101. The first anti-foolproof adapter hole 100 and the second anti-foolproof adapter hole 101 are of different sizes and are arranged alternately in the X and Y directions to form a rectangular array, which matches the anti-foolproof holes 5 on the fixing block or clamping block to prevent inaccurate installation orientation of the fixing block or clamping block. The adapter base 1 is also provided with handles 11 on both sides for easy handling.

[0046] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the fixing block includes a first connecting post 21, a first fixing block 22, a second fixing block 23, and a first limiting post 24.

[0047] The first fixing block 22 and the second fixing block 23 are interlocked, and a first device cavity 20 is provided inside. The shape of the first device cavity 20 matches the shape of the connector and can be selected according to the actual situation, such as... Figures 5-11As shown, the connector is installed within the first device cavity 20. The first device cavity 20 has a limiting block 200 and a through hole 201. The connector nut is engaged with the limiting block 200 of the first fixing block 22, which restricts the rotation of the nut. After the second fixing block 23 is engaged, the bolt is screwed into the threaded fixing hole of the connector through the through hole 201, engaging with the nut to complete the installation of the connector bolt and nut. This eliminates the need for manual position control, making the bolt installation axis more accurate and the preload controllable. When bolts need to be installed on both sides of the connector, the connector is removed from the fixing block, flipped over, and then placed back into the fixing block to install bolts on the other side.

[0048] The first connecting post 21 comprises two sections, which are respectively installed within the first fixing block 22 and the second fixing block 23. The first connecting post 21 is made of magnetic material. When the first fixing block 22 and the second fixing block 23 are engaged, the end faces of the two sections of the first connecting post 21 contact and attract each other, thus fixing the relative positions of the first fixing block 22 and the second fixing block 23. The first limiting post 24 passes through the first fixing block 22 and the second fixing block 23, limiting the first fixing block 22 and the second fixing block 23 and ensuring they are engaged in the correct position. The use of magnetic first connecting posts 21 allows for the installation of the first fixing block 22 and the second fixing block 23 without the need for tightening, making it convenient, quick, and stable.

[0049] The first fixing block 22 is mounted on the adapter base 1. The surface in contact with the adapter base 1 is provided with anti-mistake holes 5, including a first anti-mistake hole 50 and a second anti-mistake hole 51. The first anti-mistake adapter hole 100, the first anti-mistake hole 50, and the first fixing post 40 are identical in shape and size. The second anti-mistake adapter hole 101, the second anti-mistake hole 51, and the second fixing post 41 are also identical in shape and size, and can be cylindrical. The first fixing post 40 passes through the first anti-mistake adapter hole 100 and the first anti-mistake hole 50, and the second fixing post 41 passes through the second anti-mistake adapter hole 101 and the second anti-mistake hole 51, ensuring that the fixing block is installed in the correct position on the adapter base 1 and will not move.

[0050] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the clamping block includes a second connecting post 31, a first clamping block 32, a second clamping block 33, a second limiting post 34, a support base 35, and a support post 36. The first clamping block 32 and the second clamping block 33 are interlocked, and a second device cavity 30 is provided inside. The shape of the second device cavity 30 matches the shape of the connector and can be selected according to the actual situation, such as... Figures 14-17As shown, the connector is installed inside the cavity 30 of the second device, with one end extending out of the clamping block. When the connector is a circular connector, the circular connector has first planes on both sides, and the distance between the two first planes is less than the diameter of the circular connector. The inner wall of the cavity 30 of the second device has second planes 300 on both sides, and the distance between the two second planes 300 is equal to the distance between the two first planes. When the circular connector is installed into the cavity 30 of the second device, the first plane and the second plane 300 coincide. At this time, the circular connector will not be able to move in a direction perpendicular to the first plane or rotate in the clamping block. The first clamping block 32 and the second clamping block 33 simultaneously restrict the circular connector from moving in a direction parallel to the first plane, thus enabling the rotational fastening of the extended end of the circular connector.

[0051] The second connecting post 31 comprises two sections, respectively installed within the first clamping block 32 and the second clamping block 33. The second connecting post 31 is made of magnetic material. When the first clamping block 32 and the second clamping block 33 are engaged, the end faces of the two sections of the second connecting post 31 contact and attract each other, thus fixing the relative positions of the first clamping block 32 and the second clamping block 33. The second limiting post 34 passes through the first clamping block 32 and the second clamping block 33, limiting their engagement and ensuring they are correctly positioned. The use of magnetic second connecting posts 31 allows for the installation of the first clamping block 32 and the second clamping block 33 without the need for tightening, making it convenient, quick, and stable.

[0052] A support column 36 is installed on the support base 35. The support column 36 supports the first clamping block 32 and the second clamping block 33, so that the first clamping block 32 and the second clamping block 33 are far away from the adapter base 1 and the support base 35, so that the protruding end of the circular connector can be rotated and tightened using a torque wrench.

[0053] The support base 35 is mounted on the adapter base 1. The surface in contact with the adapter base 1 is provided with anti-misoperation holes 5, including a first anti-misoperation hole 50 and a second anti-misoperation hole 51. The first anti-misoperation adapter hole 100, the first anti-misoperation hole 50, and the first fixing post 40 are identical in shape and size. The second anti-misoperation adapter hole 101, the second anti-misoperation hole 51, and the second fixing post 41 are identical in shape and size, and can be cylindrical. The first fixing post 40 passes through the first anti-misoperation adapter hole 100 and the first anti-misoperation hole 50, and the second fixing post 41 passes through the second anti-misoperation adapter hole 101 and the second anti-misoperation hole 51, ensuring that the clamping block is installed in the correct position on the adapter base 1 and will not move.

[0054] This invention solves the problem of connectors lacking fixing and torque fixtures, requiring various tools for operation; the entire connector fixing and clamping process can be completed by hand using this invention, improving efficiency; this invention is a standard module for connectors, which is convenient for management and use, and facilitates subsequent expansion applications.

[0055] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
