Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of socket connectors, in particular to a connector with a buckle. Background Art

[0002] A connector is also called a plug. In China, it is also called a connector and a socket, generally referring to an electrical connector. That is, a device connecting two active devices, transmitting current or signals.

[0003] Most of the connectors on the market use an external self-locking structure to ensure the stability of the connection between the male head and the female head. For example, in a prior patent (Publication No.: CN219086330U, Publication Date: May 26, 2023), a self-locking waterproof connector is disclosed, which uses an external housing and a locking tongue to achieve locking after the male head and the female head are inserted. However, the external self-locking structure will increase the overall volume of the connector, and the self-locking structure is prone to open by itself when hitting an external object, or the self-locking structure is easily damaged, resulting in poor self-locking stability. Therefore, it is necessary to newly design a connector with a buckle to solve this technical problem. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model overcomes the above situation and provides a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0005] A connector with a buckle includes a connector female seat and a connector male seat. The connector male seat is inserted and self-locked in the connector female seat.

[0006] A plurality of insertion slots are formed on the right side of the connector female seat, and a plurality of slots are formed on the upper side of the connector female seat. The slots are arranged corresponding to the insertion slots one by one, and the slots and the insertion slots are communicated with each other.

[0007] A self-locking pressing piece is formed on the right side wall of the slot. The self-locking pressing piece covers the slot, and a clamping gap is left between the left edge of the self-locking pressing piece and the slot.

[0008] A plurality of separately arranged conductive parts are fixedly installed on the left side of the connector male seat. A clamping position is formed at the left end of the upper side of the conductive part. The conductive parts are inserted into the insertion slots in a clearance fit one by one, and the clamping positions are clamped and installed at the clamping gaps one by one.

[0009] Further: A plurality of slots are formed on the bottom side of the connector female seat. The slots are communicated with the insertion slots one by one and are arranged corresponding to the bottom of the self-locking pressing piece one by one. An avoidance groove is formed on the conductive part and is arranged between the slot and the self-locking pressing piece.

[0010] Further: a disassembly strip is detachably mounted on the bottom side of the connector socket, and a plurality of disassembly convex edges are formed on the disassembly strip. The disassembly convex edges are inserted into the slots and the avoidance grooves with clearance fit, and the top sides of the disassembly convex edges are respectively against the self-locking pressing pieces.

[0011] Furthermore: the slot and the avoidance groove have the same width, and the width of the conductive member and the self-locking pressing sheet are both greater than the width of the slot.

[0012] Further: the front and rear ends of the right side of the connector female seat are formed with positioning grooves, and the front and rear ends of the left side of the connector male seat are formed with square blocks, and the square blocks are inserted into the positioning grooves with one-to-one clearance fit.

[0013] Furthermore: a welding hole is formed at the right end of the conductive part, and a plurality of mounting grooves are formed on the left side of the connector male seat. A contact copper sheet is fixedly installed in the mounting groove, and the welding holes are electrically connected and welded to the contact copper sheet one by one.

[0014] Furthermore: a tapered opening which is narrow inside and wide outside is formed in the plug-in slot, and a tapered part is formed at one end of the conductive part inserted into the plug-in slot, and the tapered part and the tapered opening are matched and plugged in with each other.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the utility model is that a self-locking pressure piece is arranged on the slot, and the self-locking pressure piece has a certain elasticity. When several conductive parts of the connector male seat are fully inserted into the plug-in slot of the connector female seat, the self-locking pressure piece will be elastically reset, so that the engaging position of the conductive part is engaged with the engaging gap to achieve self-locking positioning. This scheme does not require an external self-locking structure, and it is difficult for the engaging positions of all the conductive parts to be disengaged from the engaging gap at the same time when encountering a collision, thereby achieving a stable connection between the connector male seat and the connector female seat.

[0030] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0031] As Figure 1-7 shown, a connector with a locking buckle of the present utility model includes a female connector base 1 and a male connector base 2, and the male connector base 2 is inserted and self-locked in the female connector base 1 in a mating manner;

[0032] A plurality of insertion slots 3 are formed on the right side of the female connector base 1, and a plurality of slotted openings 4 are formed on the upper side of the female connector base 1. The slotted openings 4 are arranged corresponding to the insertion slots 3 one by one, and the slotted openings 4 and the insertion slots 3 are communicated with each other;

[0033] A self-locking pressing piece 5 is formed on the right side wall of the slotted opening 4. The self-locking pressing piece 5 covers the slotted opening 4, and a clamping gap 6 is left between the left edge of the self-locking pressing piece 5 and the slotted opening 4;

[0034] A plurality of separately arranged conductive members 7 are fixedly installed on the left side of the male connector base 2. A clamping position 8 is formed at the left end of the upper side of the conductive member 7. The conductive members 7 are inserted into the insertion slots 3 in a clearance fit manner one by one, and the clamping positions 8 are clamped and installed at the clamping gaps 6 one by one;

[0035] The principle is: a self-locking pressing piece 5 is arranged on the slotted opening 4, and the self-locking pressing piece 5 has a certain elasticity. When a plurality of conductive members 7 of the male connector base 2 are completely inserted into the insertion slots 3 of the female connector base 1, the self-locking pressing piece 5 will elastically reset, so that the clamping positions 8 of the conductive members 7 are clamped into the clamping gaps 6 to achieve self-locking positioning. This solution does not require an external self-locking structure, and it is very difficult for the clamping positions 8 of all conductive members 7 to simultaneously disengage from the clamping gaps 6 when encountering collisions, thereby realizing the stable connection between the male connector base 2 and the female connector base 1.

[0036] Furthermore: A plurality of insertion slots 9 are formed on the bottom side of the female connector base 1. The insertion slots 9 are communicated with the insertion slots 3 one by one, and the insertion slots 9 are arranged corresponding to the bottom of the self-locking pressing piece 5 one by one. A clearance groove 10 is formed on the conductive member 7, and the clearance groove 10 is arranged between the insertion slot 9 and the self-locking pressing piece 5; The arrangement of the insertion slots 9 and the insertion slots 3 can facilitate the removal of the conductive members 7 from the insertion slots 3. It is necessary to use a specific tool to insert into the insertion slots 9 simultaneously to perform disassembly, and the self-locking stability is very high.

[0037] Furthermore: A disassembly strip 11 is detachably installed on the bottom side of the female connector base 1. A plurality of disassembly convex edges 12 are formed on the disassembly strip 11. The disassembly convex edges 12 are inserted into the slot 9 and the clearance groove 10 in a clearance fit manner. The top sides of the disassembly convex edges 12 are correspondingly abutted against the self-locking pressing pieces 5. Using the disassembly strip 11 as a specific disassembly tool, when disassembly is required, install the disassembly strip 11, and insert the disassembly convex edges 12 into the slot 9 and the clearance groove 10 correspondingly. At this time, a plurality of disassembly convex edges 12 can simultaneously abut against the self-locking pressing pieces 5 on the top sides of a plurality of plugging slots 3. When the disassembly strip 11 is further pressed, the clamping positions 8 of all the conductive parts 7 can be simultaneously separated from the clamping gap 6, realizing the separation between the female connector base 1 and the male connector base 2.

[0038] Furthermore: The slot 9 and the clearance groove 10 have the same width. The widths of the conductive part 7 and the self-locking pressing piece 5 are both greater than the width of the slot 9. It can ensure the stable self-locking of the clamping position 8 in the clamping gap 6, and at the same time, it will not affect the disassembly of the conductive part 7 in the plugging slot 3.

[0039] Furthermore: Positioning grooves 13 are formed at both the front and rear ends on the right side of the female connector base 1. Square blocks 14 are formed at both the front and rear ends on the left side of the male connector base 2. The square blocks 14 are inserted into the positioning grooves 13 in a clearance fit manner correspondingly. It enables precise positioning and plugging between the female connector base 1 and the male connector base 2, improving the stability during the connection of the connector.

[0040] Furthermore: A welding hole 15 is formed at the right end of the conductive part 7. A plurality of installation grooves 16 are formed on the left side of the male connector base 2. Contact copper sheets 17 are fixedly installed in the installation grooves 16. The welding holes 15 are electrically connected and welded to the contact copper sheets 17 correspondingly. It is convenient for the wiring use of the conductive part 7 on the male connector base 2.

[0041] Furthermore: A tapered opening 18 with a narrow inner and wide outer shape is formed in the plugging slot 3. A tapered part 19 is formed at one end of the conductive part 7 inserted into the plugging slot 3. The tapered part 19 and the tapered opening 18 are matched and inserted with each other. When the conductive part 7 is inserted into the plugging slot 3, the tapered part 19 and the tapered opening 18 can be used to achieve plugging alignment, ensuring that each conductive part 7 can be inserted in place, and further ensuring the stable connection of the connector.

[0042] This embodiment does not make any formal restrictions on the shape, material, structure, etc. of the present invention. Any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention all belong to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
