Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of energy storage connectors, in particular to a connector locking structure. Background Art
[0002] The energy storage connector includes a finished plug and a finished socket. The finished plug is provided with a lock, and the finished socket is provided with a hook. The finished plug is plugged into the finished socket, and the lock cooperates with the hook. At this time, the product is in a locked state. When unlocking, the first-level lock of the prior art product uses a button to compress the spring to force the lock to move and separate from the socket hook. The first-level lock structure parts of the product are complicated to install, and there is a risk of failure of the lock. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem solved by the utility model is that the energy storage connector product adopts a primary lock structure, the parts installation is complicated, and there is a risk of lock failure.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a reverse snap-fit structure of an energy storage connector, comprising a hook guide groove and a hook lock groove provided on a plug body, an integrated unlocking button provided above the hook lock groove, and an integrated limit elastic arm provided on a socket body, a step is formed at the connection between the hook lock groove and the hook guide groove, and the integrated limit elastic arm can be engaged with the step, a secondary lock groove connected to the hook lock groove is provided on the plug body, a secondary lock is movably fitted in the secondary lock groove, and the secondary lock can move forward to the bottom of the integrated unlocking button. Among them, the integrated unlocking button is integrally formed with the plug body.
[0005] When the finished plug is inserted into the finished socket, the integrated limit elastic arm engages with the step, pushing the secondary lock forward, and the hooks at the ends of the secondary lock and the integrated limit elastic arm are both located below the integrated unlocking button. At this time, the product is in a locked state. Due to the obstruction of the secondary lock, when the integrated unlocking button is pressed, the integrated unlocking button does not press down to act on the integrated limit elastic arm. Therefore, the engagement of the integrated limit elastic arm and the step is in a safe state.
[0006] Pull the secondary lock to make it retreat, and the secondary lock no longer blocks the pressing of the integrated unlocking button. At this time, the product is in the unlocked state. Press the integrated unlocking button, and the integrated unlocking button contacts the integrated limiting elastic arm, so that the hook at the end of the integrated limiting elastic arm is disengaged from the step, and the finished socket can be separated from the finished plug.
[0007] The secondary lock comprises a limiting platform, a secondary lock slide rail arranged beside the limiting platform, and a plug slide rail groove which can cooperate with the secondary lock slide rail is arranged on the side wall of the secondary lock groove. The secondary lock is installed in the secondary lock groove through the cooperation between the secondary lock slide rail and the plug slide rail groove.
[0008] The side of the secondary lock is provided with a secondary lock limit card slot, and the side wall of the secondary lock slot is provided with a secondary lock limit card point that can cooperate with the secondary lock limit card slot. The secondary lock limit card points include a front card point and a rear card point. The secondary lock slides forward and backward along the secondary lock slot. When the secondary lock limit card slot is engaged with the front card point, the secondary lock locks the product. When the secondary lock limit card slot is engaged with the rear card point, the secondary lock unlocks the product.
[0009] The integrated limiting elastic arm is located on the socket rotating sleeve, and the socket rotating sleeve is sleeved on the socket body. The integrated limiting elastic arm and the socket rotating sleeve are integrally formed.
[0010] The socket body is provided with a clamping rib, and the inner side wall of the socket rotating sleeve is provided with a sleeve clamping groove that can be clamped with the clamping rib. The positioning of the socket rotating sleeve on the socket body is achieved through the cooperation of the clamping rib and the sleeve clamping groove.
[0011] The socket rotating sleeve is provided with a socket installation guide, which can cooperate with the hook guide groove. The finished plug is inserted into the finished socket through the cooperation between the hook guide groove and the socket installation guide.
[0012] The integrated limiting elastic arm of the socket rotating sleeve and the integrated unlocking button of the plug of the utility model constitute a locking and unlocking structure. Through the use of a secondary lock, the locking and unlocking structure is firmly installed and easy to operate, which effectively improves the tightness and safety of the product and avoids safety problems of the product caused by failure of the locking mechanism during use.
[0013] The locking and unlocking of the plug and the socket of the utility model are completed by an integrated limiting elastic arm on the socket body, which prevents the terminals of the socket body from being squeezed and deformed during the pressing and unlocking process, resulting in the failure of the unlocking of the finished product.
