A connector 2 is provided on the male socket 1, and a connection seat 11 is provided on the female socket 10. The connector 2 is detachably connected in the connection seat 11, and a connection groove 3 is formed on the connector 2. A connection block 12 is fixedly connected in the connection seat 11, and the connection block 12 can be fitted to the inner wall of the connection groove 3.
[0026] When it is necessary to connect the male socket 1 and the female socket 10, the male socket 1 can be inserted into the female socket 10. The connector 2 will be inserted into the connection seat 11 and electrically connected. During this process, the connection block 12 can be fitted against the inner wall of the connection groove 3. When it is necessary to separate the male socket 1 and the female socket 10, the connection block 12 cannot be fitted against the inner wall of the connection groove 3.
[0027] Furthermore, it further includes: a limit sliding groove 5, which is formed in an L shape on the outer wall of the male socket 1. Among them, a rotating ring 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the female socket 10. A connection box 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 15. The connection box 16 is provided with a convex block 17, and the convex block 17 can be fitted against the outer wall of the limit sliding groove 5; a connecting plate 6 fixedly connected to the male socket 1. Among them, a clamping plate 9 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 6. A card slot is formed in the connection box 16. When the convex block 17 abuts against the bent part of the limit sliding groove 5, the rotating ring 15 rotates, and the connecting plate 6 can extend into the connection box 16 and be fitted against the inner wall of the card slot.
[0028] Before the male socket 1 and the female socket 10 are connected, the rotating ring 15 needs to be rotated so that its convex block 17 is aligned with the limit sliding groove 5. At this time, the male socket 1 is inserted into the female socket 10. During this process, the convex block 17 will move along the limit sliding groove 5 to the bent corner, and then the rotating ring 15 is rotated, and the convex block 17 will move along the limit sliding groove 5 and make the convex block 17 move to the top end of the limit sliding groove 5.
[0029] Moreover, a guiding groove 7 is formed in the connecting plate 6, the clamping plate 9 is slidably connected to the guiding groove 7, and a pushing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 9.
[0030] At this time, the connection box 16 will correspond to the connecting plate 6. Then, the pushing plate 8 is pushed to drive the clamping plate 9 to move towards the card slot position on the connection box 16 and clamp the clamping plate 9 in the connection box 16, thereby limiting the position of the convex block 17.
[0031] Furthermore, during the use of the photovoltaic connection, it can prevent the male socket 1 and the female socket 10 from loosening or falling off during connection, prevent the occurrence of risks such as corrosion and leakage of the internal metal conductive parts, and the male socket 1 and the female socket 10 can be detachably connected together without applying glue. When problems occur, they can be disassembled more quickly without replacing the whole, and damaged parts can be replaced according to needs, preventing the phenomenon of overall waste.
[0032] Here, a slider is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 15, a groove 14 is formed on the female socket 10, the slider is slidably connected to the groove 14, and the rotating ring 15 is in contact with the outer wall of the female socket 10. The rotating ring 15 can be slidably connected to the groove 14 through the slider and limited, preventing the rotating ring 15 from moving.
[0033] In order to improve the stable connection effect between the male socket 1 and the female socket 10, a mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the male socket 1, and a mounting box 13 is fixedly connected to the female socket 10. The mounting plate 4 is detachably connected within the mounting box 13.
[0034] By detachably connecting the mounting plate 4 within the mounting box 13, the stable connection effect between the male socket 1 and the female socket 10 can be improved, preventing the male socket 1 and the female socket 10 from becoming loose or falling off during connection.
[0035] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
