Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of a base or a shell of an electric connector, in particular to a socket. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1-2 As shown: A socket and cable connector is disclosed in the prior art. The socket includes a seat body 1, on which a receiving groove 3 matching with a cable connector 11 is provided, and a structure for positioning and limiting the cable connector 11 is also provided on the seat body 1. Therefore, in order to facilitate the installation of the cable connector 11, the notch of the receiving groove 3 on the seat body 1 is perpendicular to the cable extension direction of the cable connector 11. At the same time, in order to prevent the cable from being deformed, a threading channel for the cable to pass through is provided on the groove wall of the receiving groove 3 on the seat body 1 facing the cable. An abutting contact piece perpendicular to the cable connector 11 is provided between the seat body 1 and the cable connector 11. In order to ensure the stability of the electrical connection between the cable connector 11 and the socket, the socket also includes a pressing plate 12 for pressing the cable connector 11 against the abutting contact piece, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the socket and the cable connector 11. After the cable connector 11 is installed in the receiving groove 3 on the seat body 1, the pressing plate 12 is placed on the cable connector 11, and after the screw passes through the through hole on the pressing plate 12, the screw is tightened to fix the pressing plate 12 and the cable connector 11 is pressed on the socket through the pressing plate 12. When using the above socket, it is necessary to press the pressing plate against the cable connector and then tighten the screw to lock it, so as to ensure the stability of the electrical connection, which is relatively cumbersome and complicated to operate.

[0009] Furthermore, an anti-detachment protrusion is provided at the opening of the installation groove to prevent the flip ear from detaching from the installation groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a side of the anti-dropping protrusion facing away from the mounting groove is provided with an inclined surface for facilitating the flip ear to be installed in the mounting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the flip pressing cover is a cover plate formed by bending a sheet.

[0012] Furthermore, an operating handle is provided on the flip cover to facilitate pulling the flip cover to rotate.

[0023] The specific concept of the socket of the utility model:

[0024] A socket includes a seat body, a receiving groove for receiving a cable connector is provided on the seat body, a contact piece is provided between the bottom of the receiving groove and the cable connector, and the cable connector and the socket are connected by the contact piece. A flip cover for pressing the cable connector is rotatably installed on the seat body, and the rotation path of the flip cover has an opening position that completely avoids the receiving groove for the cable connector to be installed in the receiving groove, and a closed position that closes the receiving groove and presses the cable connector; the seat body 1 is also provided with a locking structure that keeps the flip cover in the closed position.

[0025] When in use, first unlock the locking structure, rotate the flip cover, and move the flip cover to the open position. Then install the cable connector into the receiving slot, and ensure that the cable connector, the receiving slot and the abutting contact piece are firmly in contact. Then rotate the flip cover again to flip the flip cover to the closed position, and then, through the locking structure, the flip cover is kept in the locking structure of the state of pressing the cable connector.

[0026] The utility model improves the socket in the prior art, specifically: by installing a rotatable flip cover on the seat body, the flip cover is fully opened, the cable connector is loaded into the receiving groove, the flip cover is closed to close the receiving groove, and when the cable connector is loaded into the receiving groove, the flip cover is closed to press the cable connector, and in order to prevent the flip cover from failing to press, a locking structure for keeping the flip cover pressing the cable connector is also provided on the base. Compared with the prior art, when using the device, it is only necessary to open the flip cover to load the cable connector into the receiving groove, then buckle the flip cover to close the receiving groove and lock it through the locking structure. In the prior art, a pressure plate needs to be assembled and locked by screws. When disassembling, the device only needs to unlock the locking structure, open the flip cover to take out the cable connector, while in the prior art, multiple screws need to be disassembled to disassemble the pressure plate before the cable connector can be removed. In summary, the device solves the problem of relatively cumbersome and complicated compression of the cable connector and the socket in the prior art. In addition, if the flip gland is made of a corresponding material, such as copper or aluminum, it can also shield the cable connector and serve as a shielding structure.

[0027] The features and performance of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0028] Embodiment 1 of the socket of the utility model:

[0029] like Figure 3-4 as well as Figure 7 As shown: a socket, including a base body 1, a receiving groove 3 for receiving a cable connector 11 is opened on the base body 1, and a flip cover 2 is rotatably installed on the base body 1. On the rotation path of the flip cover 2, there is an open position that completely avoids the receiving groove 3 for the cable connector 11 to be installed, and a closed position that closes the receiving groove 3 and presses the cable connector 11; the base body 1 is also provided with a locking structure that keeps the flip cover 2 in a state of pressing the cable connector 11.

[0030] A flip cover 2 is rotatably mounted on the seat body 1 of the socket. The flip cover 2 is in the shape of a rectangular cover structure. When the flip cover 2 is in the closed position, the groove edge of the accommodating groove 3 on the seat body 1 fits with the inner wall of the flip cover 2. The flip cover 2 includes two oppositely arranged side walls parallel to the edge of the seat body 1. The cable connector 11 is pressed and maintained by the cooperation between the flip cover 2 and the locking structure. The locking structure can take the form of a buckle structure, for example: the two side walls on the flip cover 2 are respectively provided with a cam, and the corresponding position on the base is also provided with a buckle. After the flip cover 22 is rotated to the closed position, the hook of the buckle is rotated so that the hook on the buckle is matched with the cam hook, and the handle of the buckle is pressed down so that the buckle is buckled to lock and fix the flip cover 2. However, if this method is adopted, it is necessary to set an additional structure on the base and the flip cover 2, and since the volume of the socket will not be particularly large, if a buckle structure is set, the volume of the buckle structure will not be very large, and it will not be very convenient to operate. Alternatively, through holes may be provided on the two side walls of the flip cover 2, and two cams are provided at corresponding positions on the base 1, and the cams are adapted to the through holes. When the flip cover 2 is buckled, the two side walls of the flip cover 2 are relatively separated by manpower, so that the cams enter the through holes on the side walls of the flip cover 2, thereby preventing the flip cover 2 from flipping in the opening direction. However, in this method, when the flip cover 2 is buckled and opened, the operator needs to manually deform the flip cover 2, which is relatively more laborious to operate. Therefore, preferably: the flip cover 2 is movably provided on the base 1 in a direction perpendicular to its own rotation axis at the closed position, and the locking structure is a rotation-stopping structure provided on the base 1. After the flip cover 2 is in the closed position, the flip cover 2 can be moved to make the flip cover 2 cooperate with the rotation-stopping structure on the base 1, thereby preventing the flip cover 2 from flipping in the opening direction. For example: baffles parallel to the movable direction of the flip cover 2 are extended from both sides of the base 1, and corresponding locking grooves are provided on the side walls of the flip cover 2. After the flip cover 2 is buckled, the notch of the locking groove is aligned with the blocking piece, and then the flip cover 2 is moved toward the blocking piece, so that the blocking piece enters the locking groove to prevent the flip cover 2 from flipping in the opening direction. By cooperating with the anti-rotation structure on the base body 1, the structure is relatively simpler and the operation is also easier.

[0031] Alternatively, the following method may be adopted: the flip cover 2 is bent inward to form a blocking hook 4 parallel to the upper surface of the flip cover plate, and the seat body 1 is provided with an L-shaped locking groove for the blocking hook 4 to extend into, the vertical side of the L-shaped locking groove is parallel to the buckling direction of the flip cover 2 and the width of the vertical side is the same as the width of the blocking hook 4 for the blocking hook 4 to enter, the horizontal side of the L-shaped locking groove is perpendicular to the buckling direction of the flip cover 2 and the height of the horizontal side is the same as the thickness of the blocking hook 4, and the groove edge of the horizontal side of the L-shaped locking groove is tightly matched with the blocking hook 4 to realize the locking of the flip cover 2 and the seat body 1, and the groove edge of the horizontal side of the L-shaped locking groove constitutes a blocking arm 5. By adopting the tightening method, the locking effect of the flip cover 2 and the seat body 1 is more reliable.

[0032] When in use, the flip cover 2 is placed in the open position, the cable connector 11 is loaded into the receiving slot 3, and then the flip cover 2 is rotated to move the flip cover 2 to the open position. Then the cable connector 11 is loaded into the receiving slot 3, and it is ensured that the cable connector 11 is firmly in contact with the receiving slot 3 and the abutting contact piece. Then the flip cover is rotated to flip the flip cover 2 to the closed position, the retaining hook 4 enters the L-shaped locking groove on the seat body 1, and then the flip cover 2 is moved as a whole in the direction close to the horizontal side of the L-shaped locking groove, so that the retaining hook 4 enters the horizontal side of the L-shaped locking groove of the seat body 1, and the flip cover 2 and the seat body 1 are locked, thereby realizing the state of keeping the flip cover 2 pressing the cable connector 11. When unlocking, first move the flip cover 2 away from the direction of the L-shaped locking groove, so that the retaining hook 4 withdraws from the horizontal side of the L-shaped locking groove, thereby releasing the lock between the flip cover 2 and the seat body 1, and then rotate the flip cover 2 to the open position.

[0033] Embodiment 2 of the socket of the utility model:

[0034] like Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown: a socket, including a base body 1, a receiving groove 3 for receiving a cable connector 11 is opened on the base body 1, and a flip cover 2 is rotatably installed on the base body 1. On the rotation path of the flip cover 2, there is an open position that completely avoids the receiving groove 3 for the cable connector 11 to be installed, and a closed position that closes the receiving groove 3 and presses the cable connector 11; the base body 1 is also provided with a locking structure that keeps the flip cover 2 in a state of pressing the cable connector 11.

[0035] The present embodiment mainly emphasizes the assembly relationship between the flip cover 2 and the base body 1, and the method of locking the flip cover 2 and the base body 1 can adopt the specific structure in the first embodiment.

[0036] The base 1 is rotatably mounted with a flip cover 2. There are many ways to achieve the rotational installation. For example, a mounting groove 7 for the flip cover 2 is provided on the base. The flip cover 2 includes a sheet-shaped flip ear 6 formed by bending inward from the end of the flip cover 2 (of course, a columnar flip ear 6 can also be used in other embodiments). The extension direction of the flip ear 6 is parallel to the rotation axis of the flip cover 2. The flip ear 6 cooperates with the mounting groove 7 to achieve the rotational installation of the flip cover 2 and the base 1. During installation, the flip ear 6 can be directly installed into the mounting groove 7 on the base 1. Of course, other methods can also be used in other embodiments. For example, corresponding rotation shafts are provided on both sides of the base 1, and a through hole for the rotation shaft to pass through is provided on the flip cover 2. During assembly, the flip cover 2 is controlled to deform so that the rotation shaft passes through the through hole on the flip cover 2 to achieve the hinged connection between the flip cover 2 and the base 1. The method of slotting the base 1 and cooperating the flip ear 6 with the mounting groove 7 is relatively more convenient for the installation process. In order to enable the rotation axis of the flip cover 2 to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the buckling direction of the flip cover 2 , the thickness of the flip ear 6 is smaller than the distance from the groove edge of the mounting groove 7 to the groove bottom of the mounting groove 7 .

[0037] However, in order to prevent the flip cover 2 from being disengaged from the mounting groove 7 when the flip cover 2 is controlled to move in a direction perpendicular to the buckling direction of the flip cover 2 during use after installation, it is preferably provided with an anti-disengagement protrusion 8 at the opening of the mounting groove 7 to prevent the flip ear 6 from being disengaged from the mounting groove 7. The anti-disengagement protrusion 8 closes the notch of the mounting groove 7, so that when the flip ear 6 moves in the mounting groove 7 and moves to the notch of the mounting groove 7, it forms a blocking fit with the anti-disengagement protrusion 8, and the flip cover 2 will not be disengaged from the seat 1. Of course, in other embodiments, an anti-disengagement block can also be installed in the notch of the mounting groove 7, and the anti-disengagement block and the notch of the mounting groove 7 are interference fit. The anti-disengagement protrusion 8 is provided to prevent the flip cover 2 from being disengaged from the seat 1, so that the device is more stable during use and less prone to failure.

[0038] Although the anti-slip protrusion 8 is provided to prevent the flip cover 2 from being detached from the seat body 1, the difficulty of installation is increased. Therefore, preferably, a strong installation slope 9 is provided on the side of the anti-slip protrusion 8 facing away from the installation groove 7 to facilitate the installation of the flip ear 6 into the installation groove 7. By providing the strong installation slope 9, during installation, it is only necessary to move the flip ear 6 along the strong installation slope 9 to deform the flip ear 6. After the two flip ears 6 are relatively separated and enter the installation groove 7, the flip ear 6 returns to its original state. During installation, the operator does not need to rely on manpower to separate the two flip ears 6 to allow the flip ear 6 to enter the installation groove 7, which relatively reduces the difficulty of installation and saves the installation process.

[0039] During installation, the surface of the flip ear 6 is first fitted with the strong installation inclined surface 9, and the operator drives the flip ear 6 to move along the strong installation inclined surface 9, so as to enter the installation groove 7. During use, the flip cover 2 is rotated to move the flip cover 2 to the open position. Then the cable connector 11 is installed in the receiving groove 3, and it is ensured that the cable connector 11 is firmly in contact with the receiving groove 3 and the abutting contact piece. Then the flip cover 2 is rotated again to flip the flip cover 2 to the closed position, and the flip cover 2 is kept in the state of pressing the cable connector 11 through the locking structure.

[0040] Embodiment 3 of the socket of the utility model:

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown: a socket, including a base body 1, a receiving groove 3 for receiving a cable connector 11 is opened on the base body 1, and a flip cover 2 is rotatably installed on the base body 1. On the rotation path of the flip cover 2, there is an open position that completely avoids the receiving groove 3 for the cable connector 11 to be installed, and a closed position that closes the receiving groove 3 and presses the cable connector 11; the base body 1 is also provided with a locking structure that keeps the flip cover 2 in a state of pressing the cable connector 11.

[0042] In this embodiment, the flip cover and the base body 11 can adopt the structures in the first embodiment and the second embodiment.

[0043] The flip cover 2 can be welded together by a plurality of sheet structures, but the welding method is relatively complicated in operation process, and some relatively small structures (such as the retaining hook 4 in the first embodiment) are also difficult to weld. Therefore, preferably: the flip cover 2 is a sheet metal cover formed by bending a sheet. The flip cover 2 is formed by bending a sheet, which is relatively simple in operation process and has low operation difficulty.

[0044] During the movement of the flip cover 2, the operator needs to directly hold the two sides of the flip cover 2 to drive the flip cover 2 to move. Whether it is rotating the flip cover 2, or driving the flip cover 2 to move in a direction perpendicular to its own rotation axis in the closed position as described above, it is relatively inconvenient for the operator to directly hold the two sides of the flip cover 2. Therefore, preferably: an operating handle 10 is provided on the flip cover 2 to facilitate the flipping and moving of the flip cover 2. The operator pulls the flip cover 2 to move by the operating handle 10, and the movement process is more convenient and labor-saving compared to the operator's direct holding method.

[0045] The flip gland 2 rotates around the rotation axis, and the rotation axis can be set on any side of the surrounding of the receiving groove 3. However, in order to prevent the flip gland 2 from interfering with the cable connector 11, it is preferred that: the rotation axis of the flip gland 2 is on the side of the seat body 1 away from the threading channel on the receiving groove 3. At this time, the flip gland 2 and the seat body 1 are buckled on the cable side close to the cable connector 11, so that when the device is in use, the position of the rotation axis of the flip gland 2 will not interfere with the cable connector 11.

[0046] When in use, the flip cover 2 is rotated by operating the handle 10 to move the flip cover 2 to the open position. Then the cable connector 11 is installed in the receiving groove 3, and the cable connector 11 is ensured to be firmly in contact with the receiving groove 3 and the abutting contact piece. Then the flip cover 2 is rotated again by operating the handle 10 to flip the flip cover 2 to the closed position, and the flip cover 2 is kept in the state of pressing the cable connector 11 by the locking structure.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. The patent protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the claims. All equivalent structural changes made using the description and drawings of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
