DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a quick-pluggable electrical connector includes a male plug 1 and a female plug 2, wherein the female plug 2 is provided with a first fixing member 21, and the male plug 1 is provided with a second fixing member 11, the interior of the second fixing member 11 is a cavity structure, and the first fixing member 21 is provided with a fixing mechanism 3, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a plug-in component 31 and a locking component 32, the plug-in component 31 is located on the first fixing member 21, the plug-in component 31 includes a plug-in rod 311, the locking component 32 is located inside the second fixing member 11, the locking component 32 includes a stopper 321 capable of cooperating with the plug-in rod 311, and the fixing mechanism 3 also includes an opening and closing component 33 capable of disconnecting the connection between the plug-in rod 311 and the stopper 321, and the opening and closing component 33 is located on the second fixing member 11.

[0027] When the male plug 1 needs to be installed in the female plug 2, one hand holds the second fixing piece 11 and the other hand holds the first fixing piece 21 to install the male plug 1. At this time, the plug rod 311 in the plug assembly 31 is engaged with the stopper 321, thereby making the connection between the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 more secure. When the male plug 1 needs to be unplugged from the female plug 2, one hand presses the opening and closing assembly 33 and the other hand holds the first fixing piece 21 to unplug the male plug 1. Through the settings of the plug assembly 31, the locking assembly 32 and the opening and closing assembly 33, pressing the opening and closing assembly 33 can disconnect the connection between the plug rod 311 and the stopper 321, so that the user can unplug the male plug 1 more easily. When the opening and closing assembly 33 is not pressed, the plug rod 311 and the stopper 321 are in a mating state, thereby avoiding the disconnection of the connection between the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 due to external force, resulting in power failure.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, the locking assembly 32 also includes a moving rod 322, and the moving rod 322 has a plurality of moving rods 322, and the plurality of moving rods 322 are evenly arranged in a circular array inside the second fixing member 11, and connecting rods 323 are arranged between adjacent moving rods 322. The moving rod 322 is used to ensure that the moving rod 322 has a limiting portion 324 in the moving direction. One end of the moving rod 322 is connected to the opening and closing assembly 33, and the number of the stopper 321 is consistent with the number of the moving rods 322 and corresponds one to one. The stopper 321 is located at the second fixing member Part 11 is close to one end of the first fixing part 21, and the second fixing part 11 is provided with a through hole for the block 321 to move, the block 321 is slidably connected to the second fixing part 11, the block 321 is slidably connected to the moving rod 322, the contact surface between the block 321 and the moving rod 322 is an inclined surface, and the two ends of the top of the block 321 are provided with a first compression spring 3211, one end of the first compression spring 3211 is fixedly connected to the block 321, and the other end of the first compression spring 3211 is fixedly connected to the second fixing part 11.

[0029] When the male plug 1 needs to be unplugged from the female plug 2, the opening and closing assembly 33 is pressed, so that the moving rod 322 moves in the opposite direction of the stopper 321. The moving rod 322 will be disconnected from the stopper 321 during the movement. When the connection between the moving rod 322 and the stopper 321 is disconnected, the first compression spring 3211 will reset, and the second compression spring 3251 will pull the stopper 321 into the interior of the second fixing member 11 when resetting. The plugging rod 311 is no longer blocked by the stopper 321, so that the male plug 1 can be more easily unplugged from the female plug 2. The setting of the limiting portion 324 can ensure the moving direction of the moving rod 322, and the setting of the connecting rod 323 can connect all the moving rods 322 together, so that when the opening and closing assembly 33 is pressed, all the moving rods 322 can be driven to move synchronously, avoiding the need to align the position of the plugging rod 311 when the male plug 1 is inserted into the female plug 2, so that when the male plug 1 needs to be inserted into the female plug 2, it can be directly plugged in.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple plug rods 311, which are arranged in a ring array on the first fixing member 21, one end of the plug rod 311 is connected to the first fixing member 21, the other end of the plug rod 311 is an inclined surface, and the plug rod 311 is slidably connected to the stopper 321.

[0031] When the male plug 1 needs to be inserted into the female plug 2, one end of the connecting rod 311 lifts the block 321, and the block 321 drives the moving rod 322 to move in the opposite direction of the block 321 during the movement. After the male plug 1 is plugged in, the connection between the connecting rod 311 and the block 321 is disconnected, and the moving rod 322 will be reset under the action of the opening and closing component 33. During the resetting process, the moving rod 322 will press the block 321 downward, thereby blocking the connecting rod 311.

[0032] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the limiting portion 324 includes a slider 3241, which is slidably arranged on the top of the moving rod 322. A connecting rod 3242 is arranged on the top of the slider 3241. One end of the connecting rod 3242 is connected to the slider 3241, and the other end of the connecting rod 3242 is fixedly connected to the second fixing member 11.

[0033] When the moving rod 322 moves, the arrangement of the slider 3241 and the connecting rod 3242 can ensure the moving direction of the moving rod 322 .

[0034] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, there are two opening and closing components 33, and the two opening and closing components 33 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second fixing member 11 and are located at the end of the second fixing member 11 away from the first fixing member 21. The two opening and closing components 33 each include a button 331, a pressure rod 332 and a pressure block 3321. The button 331 is arranged on the second fixing member 11, and the button 331 is slidably connected to the second fixing member 11. The pressure rod 332 is arranged on the button 331, one end of the pressure rod 332 is connected to the button 331, and the other end of the pressure rod 332 passes through the second fixing member 11 and extends to the inside of the second fixing member 11. The pressure rod 332 is slidably connected to the second fixing member 11, and the pressure block 3321 is connected to the end of the pressure rod 332 away from the button 331. The end of the pressure block 3321 away from the moving rod 322 is an inclined surface, the pressure block 3321 is slidably connected to the moving rod 322, and a reset portion 325 is provided on the moving rod 322.

[0035] When the male plug 1 needs to be unplugged from the female plug 2, hold the second fixing member 11 with one hand, press a button 331 with the thumb and index finger respectively, and the button 331 is pressed down to drive the pressure rod 332 to move, and the movement of the pressure rod 332 drives the moving rod 322 to move in the opposite direction of the stopper 321, and the moving rod 322 moves to disconnect from the stopper 321, so that the stopper 321 is retracted into the second fixing member 11 under the action of the first compression spring 3211, so that the male plug 1 can be smoothly unplugged from the female plug 2.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 and 7 As shown, the reset portion 325 includes a second compression spring 3251 and a guide rod 3252, one end of the second compression spring 3251 is fixedly connected to the second fixing member 11, the other end of the second compression spring 3251 is fixedly connected to the moving rod 322, and the guide rod 3252 has a plurality of guide rods 3252, the guide rod 3252 is located on one side of the second compression spring 3251, one end of the guide rod 3252 is connected to the second fixing member 11, the other end of the guide rod 3252 extends outward through the moving rod 322, and the guide rod 3252 is slidably connected to the moving rod 322.

[0037] When the button 331 is pressed, the button 331 drives one end of the pressure block 3321 through the pressure rod 332. During the movement of the pressure block 3321, the moving rod 322 will be driven to move in the opposite direction of the block 321. During the movement of the moving rod 322, the second compression spring 3251 will be compressed. When the button 331 is released, the second compression spring 3251 loses the pressure given by the moving rod 322. At this time, the moving rod 322 will reset. During the resetting process, the end of the moving rod 322 away from the block 321 will lift the pressure block 3321, thereby returning the button 331 to its initial state.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 As shown, one end of the stopper 321 close to the first fixing member 21 is an arc surface.

[0039] The arc surface enables the plug rod 311 to more easily lift the stopper 321 when the female plug 2 is inserted into the male plug 1 .

[0040] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the button 331 has anti-slip grooves 3311 on its surface.

[0041] The provision of the anti-slip pattern 3311 can increase the friction between the user's hand and the button 331 .

[0042] The above embodiments only express one or several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
