Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cable connection structures, and in particular relates to an industrial connector. Background Art

[0002] Industrial connectors, also known as industrial plugs and sockets or connectors, are very important electronic components, mainly used to connect wires, cables, control panels (warehouses), etc., to achieve the transmission and control of electrical signals and electrical connection between electrical equipment.

[0003] During the use of traditional connectors, the terminals may be subjected to excessive force, resulting in deformation and failure, affecting the stability and reliability of the connector. The connectors on the market have poor matching with the equipment, and some structures will bulge outward and bulge, which not only takes up space, but also easily interferes with other objects or cables around the equipment, affecting the stability of the connector. Therefore, although there are various fixing forms of connectors at present, the problem of unstable connection has not been overcome.

[0004] Based on the existing technical situation, how to improve the matching degree between the connector and the device appearance, reduce the space occupied, and improve the practicality of the external terminal has become an important technical problem that needs to be solved at present. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an industrial connector, so as to improve the matching degree between the connector and the appearance of equipment, reduce the occupation of space, and improve the practicality of external terminals.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides an industrial connector, comprising:

[0007] a body made of insulating material having a contact surface facing the device and a back surface facing away from the device;

[0008] a connecting terminal, a portion of which is embedded in the main body and another portion of which protrudes from a contact surface of the main body; and

[0009] A wire sheath, arranged on the bottom surface of the main body, wherein the cable is inserted into the wire sheath and connected to the connection terminal;

[0010] Among them, protruding bosses are provided on both sides of the main body so that the main body can be inserted into the device only from the thickness direction of the main body, and the back side is flush with the surface of the device; the main body is also provided with a mounting hole, and the axial direction of the mounting hole is parallel to the thickness direction of the main body; fasteners are provided in the mounting hole to lock the main body to the device.

[0011] In a possible design, the wire sheath and the main body made of insulating material are integrally formed.

[0012] In a possible design, a mounting portion with an arc-shaped edge profile is formed on the top of the main body, and the mounting hole is arranged on the mounting portion.

[0013] In a possible design, a terminal seat is provided on the contact surface, and the connecting terminal is connected to the terminal seat.

[0014] In a possible design, a protruding limit platform is formed on the contact surface, and the terminal seat is attached to the limit platform.

[0015] In a possible design, the corners of the boss are configured as rounded corners.

[0016] In a possible design, the cable sheath has a distance relative to an extension surface of the back side.

[0017] In a possible design, a bottom surface of the main body is provided with a step.

[0018] In a possible design, the mounting hole is formed as a countersunk hole.

[0019] The bosses on both sides of the body ensure that the connector can only be embedded in the device from the thickness direction of the body, which limits the installation direction of the connector and prevents incorrect installation. At the same time, this design also makes the back of the connector flush with the surface of the device, enhancing the overall aesthetics and stability. The setting of the mounting holes allows fasteners (such as screws or bolts) to firmly lock the connector to the device along the thickness direction of the body, ensuring a stable connection between the connector and the device and reducing the risk of loosening or falling off due to vibration or impact.

The industrial connector provided by the present disclosure can effectively prevent the connection terminal from being subjected to excessive force during installation or use, reduce the risk of terminal deformation and failure, and enable the connector to be stably and reliably used in various application scenarios.

[0021] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the subsequent specific implementation section. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The specific implementation of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] According to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, an industrial connector is provided. Figures 1 to 4 One specific embodiment is shown.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the industrial connector includes: a main body 4 made of insulating material, which has a contact surface facing the device 9 and a back surface facing away from the device 9; a connecting terminal 1, a part of which is buried in the main body 4, and the other part protrudes from the contact surface of the main body 4; and a wire sheath 5, which is arranged on the bottom surface of the main body 4, and the cable 6 is inserted into the wire sheath 5 and connected to the connecting terminal 1.

[0032] Among them, protruding bosses 41 are provided on both sides of the main body 4, so that the main body 4 can be inserted into the device 9 only from the thickness direction of the main body 4, and the back side is flush with the surface of the device 9; the main body 4 is also provided with a mounting hole 7, and the axial direction of the mounting hole 7 is parallel to the thickness direction of the main body 4; the mounting hole 7 is provided with a fastener to lock the main body 4 to the device 9.

[0033] The bosses 41 on both sides of the body 4 ensure that the connector can only be embedded in the device 9 from the thickness direction of the body 4, which limits the installation direction of the connector and prevents incorrect installation. At the same time, this design also makes the back of the connector flush with the surface of the device 9, enhancing the overall aesthetics and stability. The setting of the mounting hole 7 allows fasteners (such as screws or bolts) to firmly lock the connector on the device 9 along the thickness direction of the body 4, ensuring a stable connection between the connector and the device 9 and reducing the risk of loosening or falling off due to vibration or impact.

[0034] The setting of the wire sheath 5 can protect the cable 6 from damage by the external environment, such as wear, corrosion, etc. At the same time, it also provides stable support for the cable 6 to prevent the cable 6 from generating unnecessary stress or movement during the connection process, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connector. The industrial connector provided by the present disclosure can effectively prevent the connection terminal 1 from being subjected to excessive force during installation or use, reduce the risk of terminal deformation and failure, and enable the connector to be stably and reliably used in various application scenarios.

[0035] In the present disclosure, the wire sheath 5 and the main body 4 made of insulating material are integrally formed, which simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces the manufacturing cost. The integrally formed wire sheath 5 and the main body 4 can form a tighter sealing structure, effectively preventing external pollutants such as moisture and dust from entering the interior of the connector, and improving the waterproof and dustproof performance of the connector. The integrally formed design makes the wire sheath 5 and the main body 4 more consistent in material and structure, thereby enhancing the durability and reliability of the connector, and is suitable for various use environments.

[0036] In one embodiment, a mounting portion 42 with an arc-shaped edge profile is formed on the top of the main body 4, and the mounting hole 7 is provided on the mounting portion 42. The design of the mounting portion 42 with an arc-shaped edge profile not only increases the aesthetics of the connector main body 4, but also reduces the stress concentration phenomenon that may occur during the installation of the fastener, and can improve the strength of the structure to a certain extent. Compared with a straight line or right-angle structure, the arc structure can better resist external stress and impact, thereby enhancing the durability and reliability of the connector.

[0037] The mounting hole 7 is arranged on the arc-shaped mounting portion 42, and a fastener (such as a screwdriver or a wrench) of a specific angle or direction can be used during installation, making the installation process smoother and more efficient. In addition, the arc-shaped design may make it easier for the fastener to align and insert into the mounting hole 7, reducing the possibility of installation errors.

[0038] In the present disclosure, a protruding stopper 3 is formed on the contact surface, and the terminal seat 2 is attached to the stopper. The design of the stopper terminal seat 2 can prevent the terminal from being deformed and failing due to excessive force, thereby providing a certain protection for the connection terminal 1.

[0039] The connecting terminals 1 are connected to the terminal base 2 in a matrix, making the structure of the connecting part more compact, saving space, and conveniently performing repair, replacement or maintenance on a single terminal or a group of terminals without affecting the normal operation of other parts.

[0040] Specifically, through the design of the limit platform 3, the terminal seat 2 is restricted to a specific position, thereby avoiding unnecessary displacement or twisting of the terminal when subjected to external force, ensuring that the terminal will not be subjected to excessive force under normal working conditions, thereby reducing the risk of deformation and failure due to excessive force.

[0041] The close combination of the limit platform 3 and the terminal base 2 improves the stability of the entire connector. This design can also reduce the possibility of the connector loosening or falling off due to external factors such as vibration and impact, further enhancing the reliability of the connector.

[0042] In the present disclosure, the corners of the boss 41 are configured as rounded corners. The rounded corner design makes the connector more streamlined and smooth in appearance, which can reduce the installation difficulty or damage risk caused by friction or collision between the corners and the mounting surface during the installation process, thereby improving the safety, strength and durability of the product and improving the aesthetics of the product.

[0043] In the present disclosure, the cable sheath 5 has a spacing relative to the extended surface of the back side. Based on the design of the spacing, the cable 6 is allowed to have a certain movement space to avoid direct contact with the surrounding environment, thereby reducing the risk of damage. At the same time, since different cables 6 have different diameters and sizes, this spacing can better adapt to cables 6 of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the connector.

[0044] In order to make the industrial connector more compatible with the device 9, a step 8 is provided on the bottom surface of the main body 4. By processing the step 8 according to the shape of the device 9, the industrial connector can match the shape of the device 9 more closely and naturally. This not only improves the stability of the connection, but also makes the appearance of the entire device 9 more beautiful and neat when the bottom surface of the industrial connector is perfectly integrated with the shape of the device 9, making the entire device 9 harmonious and unified in appearance. In addition, based on the setting of the step 8, it is also easier for the operator to align and fix the connector with the device 9, thereby reducing the difficulty and error rate of installation.

[0045] In the present disclosure, the mounting hole 7 is formed as a countersunk hole. The countersunk hole design allows the brim of the fastener (for example, the fastener is a screw or a bolt in the present disclosure) to be completely or partially hidden in the hole, thereby avoiding the screw head from being directly exposed on the surface of the device 9, which not only makes the appearance of the entire device 9 more neat and beautiful, but also reduces the risk of scratches or collisions that may be caused by the protruding screw head.

[0046] It should be noted that the connection terminals in the present disclosure are all configured as universal standard terminals. Specifically, they are standard terminals with a pitch of 2.0 mm. Universal standard terminals make it easier to repair or replace industrial connectors. Due to the use of uniform sizes, specifications, and connection methods, technicians do not need to prepare a variety of different connection terminals for different devices or systems, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process. This not only saves time, but also reduces the complexity of operation and improves the efficiency of maintenance and repair.

[0047] In a possible design, a sealant is applied to the edge of the main body to seal the gap between the main body and the device. The sealant can effectively prevent moisture and dust from entering the gap between the main body and the device, and can also play a role in heat insulation to a certain extent.

[0048] In actual applications, the selection and use of sealants need to be determined according to the specific equipment type, working environment and use requirements. For example, it is necessary to select sealants with high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and other characteristics to ensure that they can play a good sealing role in actual use. At the same time, when applying sealants, it is necessary to pay attention to even application, no bubbles, no omissions and other issues to ensure the best sealing effect.

[0049] By using universal standard terminals, manufacturers can mass-produce the same type of terminals, thereby reducing production costs. Since there is no need to customize specific connection terminals for different equipment or systems, manufacturers can use production resources more effectively and improve production efficiency. In addition, standardization also means reducing the complexity of inventory and logistics management, further reducing overall costs.

[0050] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention can be subjected to a variety of simple modifications, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
