These connectors have certain limitations in terms of reliability and transmission capacity.

[0003] In particular, the existing connectors have large structural dimensions and are not convenient for plugging and unplugging. For example, a screw-driven connector requires a tool to tighten the screws for connection, and a tool is also required to reverse the screws when disassembling, which is not convenient for quick plugging and unplugging; although the lock-driven connector can be locked quickly, the connection force is small and the reliability is poor; the camshaft-driven connector can achieve a compact structure, but a large torque is required for rotation operation when plugging and unplugging.

[0004] Therefore, existing connectors generally have the problem of inconvenient plugging and unplugging, which seriously restricts the scope of use of the connectors and is difficult to adapt to the demand for high-speed plugging and unplugging. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples, but these specific implementation schemes do not limit the protection scope of the present invention in any way.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a signal module connector that is easy to plug and unplug includes a plug assembly 1 and a socket assembly 2. The plug assembly 1 includes a plug frame 1-1 and a plug shell 1-2. The plug frame 1-1 is provided with a locking mechanism 3. The plug shell 1-2 is provided with a knob handle 4. The knob handle 4 is movably connected with the locking mechanism 3. The socket assembly 2 includes a socket frame 2-1 and a socket shell 2-2. The socket frame 2-1 and the socket shell 2-2 are provided with connecting holes. The plug assembly 1 drives the locking mechanism 3 to lock with the connecting hole of the socket assembly 2 by rotating the knob handle 4. By providing a movably connected locking mechanism and knob handle, the modularly designed plug assembly 1 and socket assembly 2 are easy to install and disassemble and convenient to plug and unplug.

[0028] The knob handle 4 is an L-shaped handle, the center of which is a hollow structure, a pan head screw 5 is arranged in the hollow structure, and a guide groove is arranged in the hollow structure for the driving rod 6 of the locking mechanism 3 to extend into, and the knob stroke of the knob handle 4 is 180°. By providing the hollow structure and the guide groove 8 of the L-shaped knob handle 4, the driving rod 6 of the locking mechanism 3 is accommodated and guided, which facilitates the driving of the locking mechanism 3 to move, and makes the locking more stable and reliable.

[0029] The locking mechanism 3 includes a driving rod 6 and a driven rod 7 connected to the driving rod 6. The driven rod 7 is provided with a core rod 71 and a fixed rod 72 from the inside to the outside. The outer layer of the fixed rod 72 is provided with a spiral tooth pattern 73. The outer layer of the driven rod 7 is also provided with a driven protective sleeve 74 meshing with the spiral tooth pattern 73. The spiral tooth pattern 73 extends downward, and its extension is a buckle structure 75. A guide plate 8 is sleeved on the driven protective sleeve 74, and a guide pin 9 is provided on the guide plate 8. A spring 10 is provided between the fixed rod 72 and the core rod 71. When the knob handle 4 is turned, the driving rod 6 drives the driven rod 7 to rotate. Since the spiral tooth pattern 73 between the driven rod 7 and the driven protective sleeve 74 begins to bite, the fixed rod 72 moves downward, the spring 10 is compressed, and the core rod 71 is squeezed toward the buckle structure 75 under the influence of the spring 10. The buckle structure 75 is squeezed and extends outward, thereby locking the connection hole in the socket outer frame 2-1 to achieve reliable locking.

[0030] A through slot 11 for the cable to pass through is also provided on one side of the plug housing 1 - 2 , and a cable clamp and a wire pressing block are provided in the through slot 11 .

[0031] The plug assembly 1 and the socket assembly 2 of this connector can be equipped with 4 modules at the same time, and can accommodate up to 640 5A signal connections. The outlet of the connector is designed to be straight-out, which can accommodate more cables and allow the connector to be installed in a smaller location. After actual installation, the connector can be used normally in a space of 210*75mm.

[0032] The locking mechanism 3 is arranged at the center of the plug outer frame 1-1, and correspondingly, the connecting hole of the socket outer frame 2-1 is also arranged at the center of the socket outer frame 2-1, and the shape of the connecting hole is the same as the shape of the guide plate 8, and pin holes matching the guide pin 9 are arranged on both sides of the connecting hole; and a card slot matching the buckle structure 75 is arranged in the connecting hole of the socket shell 2-2, and when the buckle structure 75 is squeezed and extended outward, the buckle presses against the card slot for locking.

[0033] In the above technical solution, a working principle and method of a signal module connector that is easy to plug and unplug is:

[0034] First, prepare the plug assembly 1, including the plug frame 1-1, the plug shell 1-2, the knob handle 4 and the locking mechanism 3; the socket assembly 2 includes the socket frame 2-1 and the socket shell 2-2; install the drive rod 6 of the locking mechanism 3 on the plug frame 1-1, extend the drive rod 6 into the hollow part of the knob handle 4, and assemble the driven rod 7 and other components onto the drive rod 6.

[0035] Secondly, install the knob handle 4 on the plug shell 1-2, the hollow part of the knob handle 4 accommodates the drive rod 6, install the plug shell 1-2 on the plug outer frame 1-1, complete the assembly of the plug assembly 1, and align the locking mechanism 3 of the plug assembly 1 with the connecting hole of the socket assembly 2.

[0036] Then, rotate the knob handle 4, the driving rod 6 drives the driven rod 7 to rotate, the spiral tooth pattern 73 on the driven protective cover 74 engages with the spiral tooth pattern 73 of the fixed rod 72, pushes the fixed rod 72 to move downward, compresses the spring 10, and the fixed rod 72 moves downward, driving the core rod 71 to be squeezed toward the snap structure 75, and the snap structure 75 extends outward and snaps into the connecting hole of the socket shell 2-2 to achieve locking.

[0037] Finally, the knob handle 4 is rotated in the reverse direction to drive the locking mechanism 3 to unlock, thereby realizing the plugging and unplugging of the plug and the socket.

[0038] In summary, the above-mentioned convenient pluggable signal module connector can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0039] (1) By setting up modular plug components and socket components, high-density signal transmission of the connector is achieved. Each module group can transmit 160 signals, and the entire connector can transmit a total of 640 signals, greatly improving the transmission capacity.

[0040] (2) By setting up a straight-out outlet structure, not only can more cables be accommodated, but the connector can also be installed in a narrow space of 210*75mm, expanding the scope of use of the connector.

[0041] (3) An optimized locking mechanism is set up, and the length of the knob handle is increased, making the plugging and unplugging operations of the connector more convenient and quick, and locking or unlocking can be achieved by rotating 180°; a driven protective cover with a snap-on structure is set up, which can be reliably locked with the connecting hole of the socket shell, and also realizes convenient plugging and unplugging operations.

[0042] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the invention is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention may be subject to various changes and modifications, and these changes and modifications fall within the scope of the invention claimed for protection.
