Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical connector mounting technology, and more particularly to an interactive clamping detachable electrical connector socket mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connectors are plugs that connect two active devices to transmit current or signals, and they have wide applications in various fields of modern life, production, and research. Currently, electrical connectors are mainly installed in two ways: front panel mounting and rear panel mounting. Front panel mounting is convenient and quick to install, but once the connector is soldered to the circuit board, it is not easy to disassemble. In contrast, rear panel mounting is easy to disassemble, but it is limited by the size of the connector itself and has strict requirements on the thickness of the mounting panel.

[0003] In certain specialized applications (such as space optical remote sensors), mechanical size limitations prevent the installation of electrical connectors on the back of the panel, necessitating the use of front-mounted connectors. In these specific scenarios, the electrical connector socket must first be installed on the structural panel, then soldered to the circuit board. After soldering, the connector socket needs to be removed from the structural panel for board debugging, and then reinstalled on the structural panel after debugging.

[0004] A classic solution for the aforementioned application scenarios is to design a removable baffle between the connector and the panel. By removing the baffle, the connector socket with the wire can be rotated 90 degrees to the side and pass through the wiring window on the panel. This classic solution can meet the requirements when the number of connector cores is small and the root wire bundling length is short. However, with the development of science and technology, the development specifications of space optical remote sensors have increased, and the development difficulty has increased. Multi-core electrical connectors are being used more and more, and their root wire bundling length is generally also longer. After rotating 90 degrees to the side, it is difficult to pass through the panel wiring window, and the bending of the cable increases the risk of damage to the cable and the solder joints at the root of the electrical connector socket (especially for cup-type electrical connector sockets).

[0005] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, those skilled in the art urgently need to develop an interactive clamping detachable electrical connector housing mounting structure that can adapt to low-core electrical connectors, perform well in high-core electrical connector application scenarios, and provide a stable connection, thereby improving the reliability of electrical connections. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an interactive clamping detachable electrical connector socket mounting structure, which can not only adapt to low-core electrical connectors, but also perform well in high-core electrical connector application scenarios. It provides a stable connection, convenient and quick installation and disassembly without the risk of damaging cables and solder joints, thus improving the reliability of electrical connections.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The present invention provides an interactive clamping detachable electrical connector socket mounting structure, the mounting structure comprising: The system includes a structural panel and two electrical connector clamps. The structural panel has mounting windows. Each of the two electrical connector clamps is detachably mounted to the structural panel using fasteners. Electrical connector sockets are fixedly connected to the two electrical connector clamps using fasteners, thereby indirectly fixing them to the structural panel via the two electrical connector clamps.

[0008] Each of the electrical connector clamping plates has a split structure, with a flange at one end and an open groove at the other end that mates with the flange. When two electrical connector clamping plates are mated together, they are mutually pressed together, meaning the flange of one clamping plate presses against the open groove of the other clamping plate.

[0009] The size of the mounting window on the structural panel is larger than the cross-sectional size of the electrical connector socket, so that the electrical connector socket can pass directly through the mounting window after the two electrical connector clamps are removed.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the two electrical connector plates are mated and combined, a small window is formed on the front for the wires from the root of the electrical connector socket to pass through.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the two electrical connector plates are mated and combined, a stop is formed on the back side for positioning the electrical connector plates within the structural panel.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electrical connector clamping plate is mounted on the structural panel by screws. The electrical connector seat is fixedly connected to the electrical connector clamping plate by screws.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electrical connector base is rectangular or circular.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the two circular electrical connector plates are mated and combined, a small circular window is formed on the front for the wires from the root of the circular electrical connector socket to pass through.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the electrical connector plates or circular electrical connector plates is provided with mounting holes for fasteners to pass through.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the interactive clamping detachable electrical connector socket mounting structure provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention discloses an interactively clamped detachable electrical connector socket mounting structure, employing a split-type electrical connector clamping plate structure. The two clamping plates are interlocked and fixedly connected to the electrical connector socket. After the electrical connector clamping plates are removed, the electrical connector socket can pass directly through the mounting window of the structure panel without needing to rotate 90 degrees. Therefore, it is suitable not only for low-core electrical connectors but also for high-core electrical connector applications, especially for high-core electrical connectors with long root wire binding lengths.

[0017] This invention allows the electrical connector socket to pass through the panel window without needing to be rotated 90 degrees, avoiding excessive bending of the cable and eliminating the risk of damage to the solder joints at the root of the cable and the electrical connector socket (especially for solder cup type electrical connector sockets), thus improving the reliability of the electrical connection.

[0018] The electrical connector base of this invention is fixed to the electrical connector clamping plates with screws, and the electrical connector clamping plates are fixed to the structural panel with screws, making installation and disassembly simple and quick. Furthermore, the two electrical connector clamping plates, through the alternating pressing engagement of the flanges and open slots, combined with screw fixation, ensure a stable connection between the electrical connector base and the structural panel.

[0019] This mounting structure is not only suitable for rectangular electrical connector sockets, but also for various other types of electrical connector sockets such as circular electrical connector sockets. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] See Figures 1-13 As shown; Example 1 (Rectangular Electrical Connector): The present invention provides an interactive clamping detachable electrical connector socket mounting structure, the mounting structure comprising: The system comprises two electrical connector clamping plates 1, a structural panel 2, and an electrical connector socket 3. Each of the two electrical connector clamping plates 1 is connected to the structural panel 2 by two screws, and each electrical connector socket 3 is fixedly connected to one electrical connector clamping plate 1 by two screws. The electrical connector socket 3 is indirectly fixed to the structural panel 2 through the two electrical connector clamping plates 1.

[0025] The electrical connector clamping plate 1 adopts a split structure. One end of the clamping plate is designed with a flange for clamping, and the other end is designed with an open groove that mates with the flange.

[0026] After the two electrical connector clamping plates 1 are mated together, the flange at one end of one electrical connector clamping plate 1 can press against the open groove of the other electrical connector clamping plate 1, and the two electrical connector clamping plates 1 are mutually pressed together after mating. On the front, the two electrical connector clamping plates 1 form a plane after being assembled, and form a small window through which the wire from the root of the power supply connector socket 3 passes; on the back, the two electrical connector clamping plates 1 form a boss shape after being assembled, which acts as a stop for positioning the electrical connector clamping plates 1 within the structural panel 2.

[0027] The structural panel 2 has a mounting window, the size of which is larger than the cross-sectional size of the electrical connector base 3. After the two electrical connector clamping plates 1 are removed, the electrical connector base 3 can pass directly through the mounting window of the structural panel 2, such as... Figure 5 As shown, there is no need to rotate the electrical connector socket 90 degrees to the side before passing through the window.

[0028] Example 2 (Circular Electrical Connector Base): The interactive clamping detachable electrical connector housing mounting structure of the present invention is applicable not only to rectangular electrical connector housings, but also to the mounting of circular electrical connector housings.

[0029] Two circular electrical connector plates 4 are connected to the circular structure panel 5 by six screws, and the circular electrical connector base 6 is fixedly connected to the two circular electrical connector plates 4 by four screws.

[0030] The circular connector clamping plate 4 adopts a split structure, with a flange at one end for clamping and an open groove at the other end that mates with the flange. When two circular connector clamping plates 4 are mated together, the flange at one end of one circular connector clamping plate 4 can clamp the open groove of the other circular connector clamping plate 4, and the two circular connector clamping plates 4 interlock and press against each other. On the front, the two circular connector clamping plates 4, when combined, form a flat surface and a small circular window for the wire from the root of the circular connector base 6 to pass through; on the back, the two circular connector clamping plates 4, when combined, form a boss shape, which acts as a stop for positioning the circular connector clamping plates 4 within the circular structural panel 5.

[0031] The circular structural panel 5 has a mounting window, the size of which is larger than the cross-sectional size of the circular electrical connector base 6. After the two circular electrical connector clamping plates 4 are removed, the circular electrical connector base 6 can pass directly through the mounting window of the circular structural panel 5.

[0032] The circular electrical connector base 6 is indirectly fixed to the circular structural panel 5 through two circular electrical connector clamping plates 4.

[0033] This invention can be widely applied in fields such as space optical remote sensors, aerospace, communication equipment, and industrial control, where there are special requirements for the installation of electrical connectors. It has good industrial applicability and promotional value. Practical application has proven that this installation structure is practical, effective, and reliable.

[0034] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
