Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a sensor connector. Background Technique

[0002] A sensor is a device that can sense, detect, measure, and record various physical or chemical quantities in the environment, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, light sensors, and humidity sensors, etc. They convert this information into electrical signals or other recognizable forms for monitoring, controlling, diagnosing, or recording purposes.

[0003] A sensor connector is a connector used to connect a sensor and other devices. Sensor connectors can generally be divided into two types: straight plugs and bent plugs. There is almost no difference in performance between straight plugs and bent plugs. The main difference is the orientation between the connector head and the cable sheath on the cable, and the internal structure is basically the same.

[0004] The bent plug is suitable for occasions with limited space and the need for bent connections. For example, if the sensor interface is located at the upper end of the sensor and the cable is horizontal, or the sensor interface is located on the side of the sensor and the cable is vertical, then choosing a bent plug is more suitable. The cable will not be twisted, thus avoiding damage to the wire and the wire core, and improving the service life of the connector. The straight plug is suitable for scenarios with sufficient space and a relatively direct installation position. For different sensors, users need to select a straight plug or a bent plug according to the position of the sensor interface and the spatial distribution at the sensor interface, which brings inconvenience to users. Therefore, we propose a sensor connector. Content of the Utility Model

The cylindrical tube 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the U-shaped plate II 4 away from the U-shaped plate I 3. An inserting column 13 passes through the inner wall of the cylindrical tube 5 and the inner wall of the U-shaped plate II 4 movably. The two inserting holes 14 are opened on the side wall of the U-shaped plate I 3 corresponding to the U-shaped plate II 4. One of the inserting holes 14 is directly in front of the connecting column 12, and the other inserting hole 14 is directly above the connecting column 12. The central distances from the centers of the two inserting holes 14 to the center of the connecting column 12 are the same. The inserting column 13 is slidably matched with the inserting hole 14 in front. Elastic members and moving members are respectively provided between the inserting column 13 and the cylindrical tube 5.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 4, in the illustration, the elastic member includes an annular plate 15. The annular plate 15 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the insertion post 13. One side wall of the annular plate 15 is in contact with the inner side surface of the cylindrical barrel 5, and a spring 16 is fixedly connected between the other side wall of the annular plate 15 and the other inner side surface of the cylindrical barrel 5. The spring 16 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the insertion post 13.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , in the illustration, the moving member includes an L-shaped plate 6. The L-shaped plate 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the insertion post 13 away from the U-shaped plate 3. The L-shaped plate 6 is in contact with the cylindrical barrel 5, and an inclined push plate 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped plate 6 away from the insertion post 13.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 2 - 5 , in the illustration, the limiting component includes a circular plate 9 and a square block 11. The circular plate 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting post 12 away from the U-shaped plate 3. The circular plate 9 is in contact with the U-shaped plate 4, and two limiting plates 10 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular plate 9. The included angle between the two limiting plates 10 is ninety degrees. The square block 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the U-shaped plate 4 corresponding to the circular plate 9, and the front end of the square block 11 is in contact with the rear end of the upper limiting plate 10.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , in the illustration, the L-shaped plate 6 and the push plate 7 are of an integrally formed structure; specifically, the stability between the L-shaped plate 6 and the push plate 7 is good.

[0026] Working principle: When it is necessary to change the angle between the connector 1 and the cable protection sleeve 8 on the cable 2 to ninety degrees, first, pinch the cable protection sleeve 8 with the thumb and middle finger of one hand, then place the index finger of this hand between the two push plates 7, and then move the index finger downward. The downward movement of the index finger can cause the two push plates 7 to move away from each other. The two push plates 7 will drive the L-shaped plates 6 on them to move away from each other. The two L-shaped plates 6 will drive the insertion posts 13 on them to slide away from each other in the inner walls of the corresponding U-shaped plates 4 and the cylindrical barrel 5. The two insertion posts 13 will drive the annular plates 15 on them to slide away from each other in the inner walls of the corresponding cylindrical barrels 5 (during this process, the springs 16 between the two annular plates 15 and the corresponding cylindrical barrels 5 will be compressed on the outer walls of the corresponding insertion posts 13), and the two insertion posts 13 will also slide outward in a jack 14 on the corresponding U-shaped plate 1 and completely slide out of the jack 14.

[0027] Subsequently, while keeping the hand gesture unchanged, use the other hand to rotate the connector 1 downward. The connector 1 will drive the two U-shaped plates 1 to rotate downward on the side walls of their respective corresponding U-shaped plates 2. The two U-shaped plates 1 will drive the connecting columns 12 on them to rotate in the inner walls of their respective corresponding U-shaped plates 2. The two connecting columns 12 will drive the circular plates 9 on them to rotate on the side walls of their respective corresponding U-shaped plates 2. The two circular plates 9 will drive the two limiting plates 10 on them to rotate until the limiting plates 10 originally located at the rear on the two circular plates 9 are in contact with the squares 11 on their respective corresponding U-shaped plates 2. At this time, the angle between the connector 1 and the cable sheath 8 becomes ninety degrees. Finally, release the index finger. Under the action of the two springs 16, the two plug posts 13 will automatically reset and insert into another jack 14 on their respective corresponding U-shaped plates 1. Then, the connector 1 and the cable sheath 8 can be kept in a fixed state again.

[0028] It should be noted that the angle between the connector 1 of this sensor connector and the cable sheath 8 on the cable 2 is adjustable, that is, it can be adjusted to the form of a bent plug or a straight plug according to the position of the sensor interface and the spatial distribution at the sensor interface, and the operation is simple. This sensor connector has good applicability and brings convenience to users.

[0029] It should also be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
