[0022] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model and do not limit the utility model. Additionally, it should be noted that for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, a collision - prevention signal connector for a welding robot of the present application is composed of a male aviation plug 1, a female socket 11, a signal connector 12, an insulator 13, a base 14, a female aviation plug 2, an insulator housing 21, a contact 22, an insulator hole seat 23, an insulating ring 24, a sealing housing 3, etc.

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, the male aviation plug 1 includes a female socket 11, a signal connector 12, an insulator 13 and a base 14. The insulator 13 is inserted into the female socket 11. The purpose of the insulator 13 is to prevent conduction after being energized. It has a certain clamping elasticity and is not likely to cause damage to parts. One end of the female socket 11 has a reserved insertion hole, which can be directly inserted or disconnected during use. The insulator 13 is provided with several reserved holes. One end of the insulator 13 is aligned with the female socket 11, and the other end of the insulator 13 extends into the insertion hole reserved by the female socket 11. The insulator 13 is to prevent the signal connector 12 from conducting electricity after being energized. One end of the signal connector 12 extends to the outside of the female socket 11, and the other end of the signal connector 12 extends into the insertion hole of the female socket 11 through the reserved hole of the insulator 13. The other end of the signal connector 12 is aligned with the female socket 11. One end of the signal connector 12 is welded to a cable, and the other end is inserted into the insulator hole seat 23. A thread is provided around the periphery of the female socket 11. The periphery of the female socket 11 is provided with a fixed base 14 and a movable locking nut, the purpose of which is to prevent loosening during mutual connection and ensure firm connection.

[0026] The female aviation plug 2 includes an insulator housing 21, a contact 22, an insulator hole seat 23 and an insulating ring 24. An anti - detachment part is provided outside the insulator housing 21, and the anti - detachment part reserves the range for the movement of the movable nut, which can be clamped to prevent loosening when tightened and loosened. The insulating ring 24 is snap - fitted inside the movable nut. A clamping part is provided near the anti - detachment part of the movable nut, and the insulating ring is snap - fitted into the clamping part. The insulator hole seat 23 reserves an insertion hole, and a contact 22 is fixedly inserted through the inner side of the insertion hole. The number of the insertion holes is the same as that of the signal connectors 12, and the set positions also correspond. The contact 22 inside the insulator hole seat 23 is made of metal.

[0027] The signal connector 12 in the reserved hole of the male aviation plug 1 is inserted into the insulator hole seat 23 to better lock the male aviation plug 1. The cable needs to be welded to the outside of the signal connector 12. The sealing shell 3 is threadedly connected to the male aviation plug 1 to prevent accidental injury to personnel when energized.

[0028] The outer diameter of the insulator 13 is 1 mm - 3 mm larger than the inner diameter of the female socket 11. The insulator 13 is made of rubber and has certain elasticity. When inserted, the insulator 13 is squeezed, so it can be better held in the male aviation plug 1.

[0029] A semi-circular groove is horizontally arranged on the outside of the insulator hole seat 23, and a semi-circular boss is arranged at the reserved insertion hole on the inner side of the female socket 11. The semi-circular groove of the insulator hole seat 23 is inserted corresponding to the semi-circular boss of the female socket 11. The semi-circular groove and the semi-circular boss are set so that each hole can be inserted correspondingly.

[0030] The signal connector 12 is provided with a welding end that is recessed inward, so that the cable is welded to the welding end. The female aviation plug 2 and the sealing shell 3 are provided with screws oppositely, and the cable is fixed by the screws. The purpose of fixing the cable is to prevent the connection between the cable and the aviation plug from being cut off when touched by foreign objects.

[0031] During actual application:

[0032] (1) First, according to the above requirements, make each component involved in the anti-collision signal connector;

[0033] (2) Insert the insertion end of the female socket 11 into the insulator hole seat 23, and at the same time, the movable nut is threadedly connected;

[0034] (3) Weld the cable to the welding end of the female socket 11, and threadedly connect it with the sealing shell 3 so that the cable welding part cannot be collided by external objects;

[0035] (4) Lock the locking nut to the sealing shell 3, and its purpose is to strengthen the fixation;

[0036] (5) A anti-disengagement part is provided on the periphery of the insulator shell 21, and the movable nut is arranged therein, and the anti-disengagement part reserves a certain range of movement;

[0037] (6) Set the base 14 on the periphery of the female socket 11 to prevent the movable nut and the locking nut from colliding;

[0038] (7) Set the insulating ring 24 in the movable nut to prevent electric shock injury to employees after energization;

[0039] (8) Set the signal connector 12 in the insulator 13 of the female socket 11 and extend it to both ends to conduct electricity and prevent leakage.

[0040] When the mechanism is conductive, the welding end of the male plug 11 is prone to collision and conduction, which cannot guarantee the safety of personnel. At this time, the threaded connection of the sealing shell 3 can prevent accidents. The insertion end of the male socket 11 is inserted into the insulator hole seat 23 and is threadedly connected through a movable nut. Both the insulator hole seat 23 and the insulator 13 are made of rubber products to insulate the leakage of electricity. After the movable nut is threadedly connected to the insertion end of the male plug 11, it can prevent collision and touch. The screws provided oppositely on the sealing shell 3 and the insulator shell 21 can fix the cable so that it does not become loose and prevent collision. The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and the description of the technical principle and other solutions applied. At the same time, the scope of the utility model involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solution formed by the specific combination of the above technical features. At the same time, it should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept of the utility model. For example, the technical solutions formed by mutually replacing the above features with the technical features (but not limited to) disclosed in the present application that have similar functions.
