Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a plug and connector assembly for non-glue installation. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, when the socket and plug of most circular connectors on the market are assembled, the inner convex ring 104 in the connecting nut 101 of the plug presses down the outer edge of the plug housing 102, reduces the distance between the plug housing 102 and the socket, and then presses the rubber pad 103 between the socket and the plug surface to seal and ensure the protection level. In order to prevent the rubber pad 8 from falling off and losing during use, the rubber pad 103 needs to be fixed, but because the overall size of the connector is small, and a crystal head needs to be installed inside, the plug and socket surfaces only form a small annular plane, which makes it difficult to fix the rubber pad 103. Therefore, most connectors use adhesive to fix the rubber pad 103. The adhesive method has the physical properties of the glue, and its fixing reliability will change with temperature, and its fixing reliability will gradually decrease with the increase of time. Once the rubber pad 103 falls off during use, it is easy for the glue surface to be contaminated with dust or impurities, which greatly reduces the sealing function of the connector or even fails, and the product cannot be used. In addition, the rubber pad 108 needs to be positioned by tooling when being fixed to prevent it from being skewed during pasting, and it is difficult to align the center hole. Utility Model Content

Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be regarded as the scope of implementation of the utility model without substantial changes in the technical content.

[0035] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The utility model discloses a plug and connector assembly for glue-free installation, including a plug and a socket for glue-free installation. During the plugging and unplugging process, the socket and the plug end crystal head have relative displacement, and the risk of the rubber pad 8 being installed on the socket plug surface 2 falling off increases, so it is usually installed on the plug plug surface 3. Figure 2As shown, the glue-free installation plug includes a plug-to-insertion surface 3, a connecting nut 4 and a plug housing 7, wherein a rubber pad 8 is provided at the plug-to-insertion surface 3, and the plug housing 7 is provided with a plurality of grooves 12 evenly arranged along the circumference on the outer edge 11 of the housing, and a protrusion 13 matching the groove 12 is provided on the rubber pad 8, wherein the width of the groove 12 is narrower than that of the protrusion 13, and the groove 12 and the protrusion 13 form an interference fit, and the groove 12 and the protrusion 13 cooperate to fix the rubber pad 8.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 13 includes a connecting column 15 located on the surface of the rubber pad 8 and a clamping head 16 located at the end of the connecting column 15. The diameter of the clamping head 16 is larger than the diameter of the connecting column 15, preventing the protrusion 13 from escaping from the slot 12 along the axial direction, thereby ensuring the firmness of the fit between the protrusion 13 and the slot 12.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the slot 12 includes a recessed platform 18 spaced apart from the plug-to-plug surface 3 on the plug housing 7, and the recessed platform 18 is used to cooperate with the clamping head 16. The slot 12 also includes a groove belly 22 extending from the plug-to-plug surface 3 to the recessed platform 18, and the radial dimension of the groove belly 22 is consistent with the radial dimension of the connecting column 15, and the groove belly 22 is used to cooperate with the connecting column 15. The height of the recessed platform 18 is higher than the height of the clamping head 16, that is, after the protrusion 13 is installed in the slot 12, the clamping head 16 does not expose the recessed platform 18, so as to prevent the inner convex ring 9 of the connecting nut 4 from pressing the clamping head 16 when locking.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the slot 12 extends toward the outside of the plug to form a slot neck 21 and a notch 20 in sequence, the opening width of the notch 20 is greater than the width of the connecting column 15, and the notch 20 is used for the connecting column 15 to enter the slot belly 22 from the side of the slot 12. The width of the slot neck 21 is narrower than the width of the connecting column 15, and is used to form an interference fit between the connecting column 15 and the slot 12, so that the connecting column 15 is not easy to fall out after entering the slot belly 22.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the rubber pad 8 is provided with a positioning column 14 corresponding to the protrusion 13, and the height of the positioning column 14 is lower than the height of the protrusion 13 to avoid interference when the protrusion 13 and the slot 12 are in interference fit. Figure 7 As shown, the end surface of the plug housing 7 is provided with a positioning hole 19 matching the positioning column 14. The rubber pad 8 and the end surface of the plug housing 7 are quickly positioned to prevent mis-assembly, and the rubber pad 8 is prevented from rotating around the protrusion 13 along the circumference and causing mis-assembly.

[0041] like Figure 8 As shown, the plug housing 7 is provided with buckle grooves 10 evenly along the circumference on the outer edge 11 of the housing. Fig. 9 As shown, the connecting nut 4 is provided with a buckle 5 matching the buckle groove 10. When the glue-free installation plug is assembled, the buckle groove 10 and the buckle 5 are matched and positioned.

[0042] like Fig.10 As shown, the plug housing 7 includes a sleeve 17 and a housing outer edge 11, wherein the sleeve 17 is used for assembling the connection nut 4 and installing the crystal plug and the wire, and the housing outer edge 11 is mainly used to bear the pressure applied by the inner convex ring 9 of the connection nut 4 when locking, and is also used to squeeze the rubber pad 8 with the plug surface 2 of the socket to achieve sealing. The inner convex ring 9 of the connection nut 4 presses down the housing outer edge 11 of the plug housing 7, thereby reducing the distance between the plug housing 7 and the socket, and compressing the rubber pad 8 at the plug surface 3, so that the sealing performance of the rubber pad 8 between the plug surfaces is improved.

[0043] like Fig.11 As shown, the glueless installation socket includes a socket-to-insert surface 2, and the outer ring of the socket-to-insert surface 2 is provided with a three-curved groove 1, and the three-curved groove 1 is screwed and connected with the connecting nut 4. The glueless installation socket and the glueless installation plug are locked and matched by rotating the three-curved groove 1.

[0044] It should be noted that the parts not described in detail in the above embodiments are all prior art.
