Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of connectors, and belongs to a shell and equipment of a connecting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] DIN rails are widely used in various system devices or various types of chassis. In order to enable electronic devices to be detachably fixed on the DIN rails, clips are usually provided on the electronic devices so that they can be fixed on the DIN rails with the aid of the clips.

[0003] Generally speaking, a conventional electronic device includes a fixed clip and a movable clip, wherein the fixed clip is mounted on the body of the electronic device, and the movable clip is mounted on the body of the electronic device and arranged opposite to the fixed clip, wherein the movable clip can be moved by an external force and can be reset after the external force is released. When the electronic device is to be installed on the embedded track, the fixed clip of the body is first engaged with one side of the embedded track, and the body of the electronic device is pressed to be placed on the embedded track. At this time, the movable clip is pushed outward due to the external force, and reset after being engaged with the other side of the embedded track, thereby fixing the electronic device on the embedded track.

[0004] However, since conventional electronic devices have fixed clips and movable clips, when the electronic device is to be installed on the embedded track, the body of the electronic device must first be tilted at an angle so that the fixed clip engages with one side of the embedded track, and then the body is rotated and pressed so that the movable clip engages with the other side of the embedded track. Therefore, additional installation space must be reserved, which limits the application of the electronic device. For example, the electronic device cannot be detached from or engaged with the embedded track directly up and down.

[0005] Another electronic device suitable for installation on an embedded track includes two movable clips, wherein the two movable clip structures are separately arranged on the body of the electronic device and are located at opposite positions. When the electronic device is to be installed on the embedded track, force is applied to push the two movable clips to two opposite outer sides respectively, and the body of the electronic device is pressed to place it on the embedded track. Afterwards, force is applied again to reset the two movable clips and engage with the two opposite sides of the embedded track, thereby fixing the electronic device on the embedded track. Although this type of electronic device can be detached from or engaged with the embedded track directly up and down, the two movable clips need to be pushed to two opposite outer sides respectively when performing the disassembly operation between the electronic device and the embedded track, so that the disassembly is more time-consuming and inconvenient.

[0006] There is also an electronic device suitable for embedded track, which also has a first clip and a second clip. When the electronic device is to be installed on the embedded track, the installation space between the two clips is enlarged by pulling the handle. At this time, at least one clip is separated from the embedded track. After the electronic device is installed on the embedded track, the handle is pressed to reduce the installation space. The two clips are engaged with the embedded track, so that the electronic device is fixed on the embedded track. However, if the installer forgets to push the handle back during use, the electronic device will fall off the embedded track, which poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0038] like Figure 1-6 A shell of a connecting mechanism is shown, and the shell of the connecting mechanism is used to install the connecting mechanism on a guide rail 7. The shell of the fixed connecting mechanism includes: a main body 1, and the main body 1 is used to accommodate the following structure; the main body 1 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12, wherein the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 cooperate to fix the first buckle, the second buckle 3, the connecting part 4 and the positioning part on the main body 1.

[0039] The first buckle is used to connect or separate with the guide rail 7; the first buckle is located at the upper part of the main body 1, wherein the upper part refers to the movement direction when the handle 6 is pulled to separate the shell from the guide rail 7.

[0040] The second buckle 3 is arranged opposite to the first buckle, a connecting portion 4 is arranged between the first buckle and the second buckle 3, and the second buckle 3 is located at the lower part of the body 1.

[0041] The first buckle and the second buckle 3 cooperate with each other to fix the housing on the guide rail 7 .

[0042] The connecting portion 4 is used to connect the first buckle and the second buckle 3 to form a main body.

[0043] The positioning part is used to make the first buckle and the second buckle 3 in a natural state or a tightened state when the shell is separated from or connected to the guide rail 7. The positioning part includes a third buckle part 51 and a spring part 52, wherein the third buckle part 51 and the spring 521 cooperate to realize the separation of the shell and the guide rail 7. The spring part 52 includes a spring 521 and a spring limiting part 522, one end of the spring 521 is in contact with the body 1, and the other end of the spring 521 is in contact with the spring limiting part 522. The spring limiting part 522 is limited in position by the baffle part 13 provided on the body 1. One end of the third buckle part 51 is connected to the positioning part, and the other end is a free end, wherein the free end is provided with a first leg 511 in contact with or separated from the guide rail 7, and the middle part of the third buckle part 51 is provided with a second leg 512, and the second leg 512 is connected to the shell.

[0044] The connecting portion 4 has two lengths, which correspond to the two states that the positioning portion can realize. The connecting portion 4 includes a first connecting segment 41, a second connecting segment 42 and a rotating shaft 43, wherein the first connecting segment 41 is connected to the first buckle, one end of the second connecting segment 42 is connected to the first connecting segment 41, and the other end of the second connecting segment 42 is connected to the rotating shaft 43, the rotating shaft 43 is located near the second buckle 3, and is connected to the second buckle 3, and the second connecting segment 42 is a non-linear plane with a curved arc.

[0045] The front end surfaces of the first buckle and the second buckle 3 are provided with an inclined surface. The direction of the inclined surface makes the distance between the two buckles gradually decrease in the direction in which the housing of the fixed connection mechanism is engaged with the guide rail 7.

[0046] The main body 1 is provided with a positioning part installation cavity, which is used to be in contact with or separated from the spring stopper 522 on the positioning part. The main body 1 is provided with a cavity for accommodating the connecting part 4.

[0047] During use, when the first buckle and the second buckle 3 are switched from the tightened state to the natural state, the first leg 511 provided on the third buckle portion 51 moves upward with the handle 6, and the front end of the first leg 511 contacts the side of the guide rail 7, and the second leg 512 moves upward along the inclined surface provided on the body 1, and at the same time, the spring limiting portion 522 moves upward, so that the spring 521 provided between the spring limiting portion 522 and the body 1 contracts. At this time, the second connecting section 42 in the connecting portion 4 is a non-linear plane, so its curved section is elongated under the action of the force, and the rotating shaft 43 rotates in a clockwise direction along the axis provided on the body 1. The second buckle 3 moves under the action of the rotation of the rotating shaft 43, so that the first buckle and

[0048] The distance between the second buckles 3 becomes larger. In this case, the housing of the fixed connection mechanism can move in a direction perpendicular to the guide rail 7 away from the guide rail 7 , so as to be separated from the guide rail 7 .

[0049] During the separation of the guide rail 7, since the second leg 512 slowly separates from the side of the guide rail 7, the spring 521, under the action of its own elastic force, moves the spring limit portion 522 in the direction opposite to the contraction of the spring 521. During the movement, the curved section of the second connecting section 42 returns to its initial state. At the same time, the rotating shaft 43 rotates counterclockwise along the axis set on the main body 1, and the second buckle 3 moves under the action of the rotation of the rotating shaft 43, so that the distance between the first buckle and the second buckle 3 becomes smaller.

[0050] When the housing of the fixed connection mechanism is installed on the guide rail 7, due to the setting of the inclined surface between the first buckle and the second buckle 3, the housing of the fixed connection mechanism can be installed on the guide rail 7 in a direction perpendicular to the guide rail 7. When the guide rail 7 is snapped into place, the guide rail 7 is located between the first buckle and the first leg 511.

[0051] This patent also provides a device, which includes a shell of the aforementioned fixed connection mechanism.

[0052] Since a positioning part is provided on the shell of the connecting mechanism, when the shell is in contact with or separated from the guide rail 7, the guide rail 7 contacts a part of the positioning part, so that the spring 521 provided in the positioning part automatically recovers under the elastic state, and there is no need to restore it to its original state by manual pressing.

[0053] When it is necessary to separate the shell of the connecting mechanism from the guide rail 7, the handle 6 is held to move the connecting part 4 to a longer length. In this state, the second connecting section 42 is in an extended state, the spring 521 is compressed, and the distance between the first buckle and the second buckle 3 becomes larger, thereby separating the shell from the guide rail 7.

[0054] Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. A person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by the definition of the claims.
