Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of connectors, and in particular to a connector. Background Art

[0002] Connectors are electronic components used for transmission and exchange of current or optical signals between electronic system devices. As nodes, they transmit current or optical signals between devices, components, equipment, and subsystems independently or together with cables, and keep the signal distortion and energy loss between systems unchanged. Connectors are essential basic components for the connection of the entire system.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to facilitate the removal of the connector, unlocking parts are usually injection-molded on both sides of the connector housing. Users need to press these unlocking parts with their fingers to drive the internal buckles to unlock and remove the connector. However, when the connector is small in size and the installation space is relatively small, it becomes very difficult or even impossible for users to operate these unlocking parts with their fingers, which greatly affects the efficiency of actual operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a connector that can be unlocked and unplugged more easily in a narrow space.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A connector comprises a main body, a direct-acting unlocker and a lock hook, wherein:

[0007] The lock hook parts are respectively arranged on both sides of the lower end of the main body, the inner side of each lock hook part is provided with a lock hook, the outer side of each lock hook part is provided with an unlocking installation part, and the unlocking installation part is provided with an unlocking installation groove,

[0008] The direct-acting unlocker includes an operating part and a locking part, wherein the locking parts are respectively arranged at two ends of the operating part, and the locking parts are inserted into the unlocking installation groove and buckled on the lock hook part.

[0009] When unlocking, the operating part is pulled in a direction away from the main body, and the operating part directly pulls the lock hook of the lock hook part to move outward through the lock buckle part, thereby achieving unlocking.

[0010] Furthermore, support parts are respectively provided on both sides of the upper end of the main body. When the operating part is pulled, the inner side surface of the operating part abuts against the support part, thereby reducing the pulling force required for unlocking through the lever principle.

[0011] Furthermore, the front side surface and the rear side surface of the support portion are respectively provided with limit baffles.

[0012] Furthermore, the support portion is provided with an arc-shaped surface corresponding to the operating portion.

[0013] Furthermore, an inclined surface is provided on the inner side surface of the locking portion.

[0014] Furthermore, a locking groove is provided on the outer side surface of the locking portion.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer side surface of the lower end of the locking portion is provided with a chamfer.

[0016] Furthermore, an inclined step is provided at the lower portion of the inner side surface of the unlocking installation groove.

[0017] Furthermore, a space-avoiding portion is provided at the lower portion of the outer side surface of the unlocking installation groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer side surface of the unlocking installation groove is an inclined surface.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0020] (1) The present application adopts the design of a direct-acting unlocker, so that the user can directly pull the operating part to unlock the connector without pressing the small unlocking parts on both sides. This design greatly improves the convenience of operation when the connector is small or the installation space is narrow, making it easy to unlock and unplug the connector even in a confined space.

[0021] (2) Since the direct-acting unlocker of the present application directly acts on the lock hook of the lock hook part, the unlocking process is more direct and rapid, reducing intermediate links and possible mechanical resistance, thereby improving the unlocking efficiency.

[0022] (3) The direct-acting unlocker of the present application eliminates the need for the user to precisely press or position the tiny unlocking portion during operation. The user can simply pull the operating portion to complete the unlocking, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation and allowing the user to complete the unlocking operation without special skills or strength.

[0023] (4) The present application provides a support portion on the main body so that the operating portion can utilize the lever principle to reduce the required pulling force when being pulled. This not only makes the operation more labor-saving. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] The terms used in the implementation method part of this application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit this application. The implementation method of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a connector comprises a main body 1, a direct-acting unlocker 2 and a lock hook portion 3, wherein the lock hook portions 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the lower end of the main body 1, and the lock hook portion 3 and the main body 1 are an integral injection-molded structure, an inner side surface N1 of each lock hook portion 3 is provided with a lock hook 31, and the lock hook 31 is used to lock the entire connector on another connector, and an outer side surface N2 of each lock hook portion 3 is provided with an unlocking mounting portion 32, and the unlocking mounting portion 32 is also integrally injection-molded with the lock hook portion 3, and the unlocking mounting portion 32 is provided with an unlocking mounting groove 33, the direct-acting unlocker 2 comprises an operating portion 21 and a locking portion 22, the locking portion 22 is respectively arranged at both ends of the operating portion 21, the locking portion 22 is inserted into the unlocking mounting groove 33 and buckled on the lock hook portion 3, wherein the operating portion 21 is made of flexible material, and the two sides of the operating portion 21 can be close to each other. When unlocking, the operating part 21 is pulled in a direction away from the main body 1, and the operating part 21 directly pulls the lock hook 31 of the lock hook part 3 to move outward through the lock catch part 22 to achieve unlocking. Therefore, the operating part 21 of this embodiment can directly exert force on the lock hook 31, that is, the force is very close to the lock hook 31. The direct-acting unlocker 2 of this embodiment is directly inserted and snapped into the unlocking installation groove 33 of the lock hook part 3 through its lock catch part 22, making the unlocking process more direct and efficient. When unlocking is required, it is only necessary to pull the operating part 21 in a direction away from the main body 1, and the lock hook 31 can be directly pulled outward through the lock catch part 22 to achieve quick unlocking.

[0041] Furthermore, since the operating portion 21 of the direct-acting unlocker 2 can directly exert force on the lock hook 31, the force is very close to the lock hook 31, thereby reducing the force transmission loss, making the unlocking process smoother and reducing unnecessary resistance.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, support parts 11 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper end of the main body 1, and the support parts 11 extend upward from the side of the main body 1. When the operating part 21 is pulled, the inner side of the operating part 21 abuts against the support parts 11, and the pulling force required for unlocking is reduced by the lever principle. By using the lever principle, the user only needs to apply a small pulling force on the operating part 21, and the force can be amplified by the support part 11, thereby easily driving the lock hook part 3 to unlock. This greatly reduces the user's operating difficulty and force requirements.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the front side and the rear side of the support portion 11 are respectively provided with limit baffles 12, and the limit baffles 12 allow the operating portion 21 to be located in the limit baffles 12, so that the limit baffles 12 can limit the forward and backward movement of the operating portion 21.

[0044] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the support portion 11 is provided with an arc surface 111 corresponding to the operating portion 21. The arc surface 111 can better fit with the inner side surface of the operating portion 21, and when the operating portion 21 is pulled in a direction away from the main body 1, the arc surface 111 can more effectively transfer the pulling force to the support portion 11, thereby reducing the pulling force required for unlocking through the lever principle.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner side surface of the locking portion 22 is provided with an inclined surface 221 , which facilitates the locking portion 22 to be inserted into the unlocking installation groove 33 .

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a locking groove 222 is provided on the outer side surface of the locking portion 22 , and the locking groove 222 can be snapped onto the outer side surface of the unlocking installation groove 33 to achieve locking of the locking portion 22 .

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a chamfer 223 is provided on the outer side surface of the lower end of the locking portion 22 to facilitate the locking portion 22 to be inserted into the unlocking installation groove 33 .

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, an inclined step 331 is provided at the lower part of the inner side surface of the unlocking mounting groove 33. When the locking portion 22 is locked in the unlocking mounting groove 33, the inclined step can abut against the inner side surface of the locking portion 22 to prevent the locking groove 222 of the locking portion 22 from disengaging from the unlocking mounting groove 33 inward.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a clearance portion 332 is provided at the lower portion of the outer side surface of the unlocking installation groove 33 , and the clearance portion is used to accommodate the lower end of the locking portion 22 .

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer side surface of the unlocking mounting groove 33 is an inclined surface 333, which is firstly to facilitate the insertion of the locking portion 22 into the unlocking mounting groove 33, and also to make the unlocking mounting groove 33 form a slot that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, further limiting the locking portion 22 from detaching from the unlocking mounting groove 33.

[0051] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking and unlocking process of the connector in this embodiment is as follows:

[0052] 1. Locking process:

[0053] The inner side surface of the lock catch 22 is provided with an inclined surface, and the outer side surface of the unlocking installation groove 33 is an inclined surface. The design of the two enables the lock catch 22 to be smoothly inserted into the unlocking installation groove 33 along the inclined surface. At the same time, the outer side surface of the lower end of the lock catch 22 is provided with a chamfer 223, which further reduces the resistance during insertion and makes the operation smoother. When the lock catch 22 is inserted into the appropriate position of the unlocking installation groove 33, the lock catch groove 222 on the outer side surface of the lock catch 22 will be snapped together with the outer side surface of the unlocking installation groove 33. This snap-on structure ensures a stable connection between the lock catch 22 and the unlocking installation groove 33, and realizes the locking function. The lower part of the inner side surface of the unlocking installation groove 33 is provided with an inclined step, and when the lock catch 22 is fully inserted and locked, the step will abut against the inner side surface of the lock catch 22. This abutment effect not only increases the stability of the locking, but also prevents the lock catch 22 from being separated from the unlocking installation groove 33 inwardly.

[0054] 2. Unlock and pull out the connector process:

[0055] The user pulls the operating part 21 to directly exert force on the locking part 22. Since the operating part 21 is made of a flexible material, its two sides can be close to each other, so it is easy to apply a pulling force. Under the action of the pulling force, the locking part 22 pulls the lock hook part 3 outward in the unlocking installation groove 33, and the entire lock hook part 3 moves outward, and the lock hook 31 is also pulled accordingly, thereby releasing the locking state of the entire connector, and the operating part 21 also makes it convenient for the user to pull out the connector.
