[0002] A cable connector is a device used to connect between cables or devices to achieve signal or data transmission.

[0003] When maintenance is required, the staff usually needs to separate the plug and the socket. As shown in the cable connector of model LBG11, currently, the connecting plate between the plug and the socket of the cable connector is generally connected by bolts. When the staff needs to disassemble it for maintenance and repair of the cable connector and the cables inside, they need to rotate four bolts to disassemble and assemble the cable connector, which is rather cumbersome. In addition, when the fasteners need to be tightened, currently, it is generally the staff who manually tightens them with tools such as wrenches. Manual tightening cannot ensure that the tightening degrees of several bolts in the connecting plate are the same. In this case, it is easy for one side of the sealing ring between the plug and the socket to be stressed too much, affecting the service life. If a torque wrench is used, it is even more cumbersome and requires additional equipment to be carried. Therefore, improvement is needed. Content of the Utility Model

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2, according to an embodiment of an easily disassembled and assembled cable connector of the present utility model, it includes a plug 11 and a socket 12 which are connected to each other. The plug 11 and the socket 12 are connected by a locking assembly. The locking assembly includes connecting seats 13 respectively provided on the plug 11 and the socket 12. The two connecting seats 13 are connected by several fasteners. The connecting seat 13 can be triangular, and three fasteners can be provided. The distances between the three fasteners and the axis of the plug 11 are the same. In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the fasteners, a control ring 14 is sleeved outside the plug 11, and the control ring 14 can rotate and translate relative to the plug 11, and a locking mechanism for controlling the rotation of the fasteners according to the rotation of the control ring 14 itself is provided inside the control ring 14.

[0026] In this embodiment, different from standard parts, the fastener includes a screw rod portion 91 and a head portion 92 which are connected to each other. The head portion 92 faces the plug 11. The head portion 92 is columnar and coaxial with the screw rod portion 91. Centered on the axis of the head portion 92, a plurality of protrusions are equiangularly provided on the outer curved surface of the head portion 92.

[0027] The locking mechanism includes a receiving groove 21 with an opening to the right provided inside the control ring 14. Centered on the axis of the receiving groove 21, a plurality of first grooves adapted to the protrusions are equiangularly provided on the outer curved surface of the receiving groove 21. That is, when it is necessary to control the angle of the fastener through the control ring 14, the worker pushes the control ring 14 to the right and makes the head portion 92 enter the receiving groove 21. At this time, the protrusions enter the first grooves, and the worker can rotate the control ring 14 to make the three fasteners rotate together.

[0028] In the second embodiment of the easily disassembled and assembled cable connector, in order to prevent the head portion 92 from moving relative to the control ring 14, an inner support ring 22 is also rotatably connected inside the receiving groove 21. Centered on the axis of the inner support ring 22, a plurality of second grooves adapted to the protrusions are equiangularly provided on the outer curved surface of the inner support ring 22. That is, the inner support ring 22 can support the head portion 92 outward and make it close to the outer curved surface of the receiving groove 21 to avoid the phenomenon of slipping of the threads. The setting of the inner support ring 22 can also prevent the screw rod portion 91 from being skewed.

[0029] In addition, in order to facilitate the head 92 to enter the receiving groove 21 and cooperate with the No. 1 groove and the No. 2 groove, the inner curved surfaces of the inner support ring 22 and the receiving groove 21 are respectively provided with several slots 23, and the slots 23 are also distributed at equal angles with the axis of the inner support ring 22 as the center, and the number of the slots 23 is the same as the number of the fasteners. Before pushing the control ring 14 to the right, the staff needs to rotate the control ring 14 and the inner support ring 22, and make the slot 23 in the receiving groove 21 face the slot 23 in the inner support ring 22, and make the slot 23 face the head 92. At this time, the control ring 14 can smoothly move to the right and make the head 92 enter the receiving groove 21, so as to facilitate the subsequent rotation of the control ring 14 and drive the head 92 to rotate.

[0030] In the third embodiment of the cable connector that is easy to disassemble and assemble, in order to facilitate the staff to rotate the control ring 14, a hinge groove 16 is further provided in the outer curved surface of the control ring 14, and an arc plate 17 is connected to the hinge groove 16 through a hinge. The hinge includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the hinge groove 16, and an abutment plate 18 for supporting the arc plate 17 is installed on the side of the hinge groove 16 close to the rotating shaft. The staff can pull out the arc plate 17 and make it abut against the abutment plate 18, and then the staff can use the arc plate 17 to rotate more effortlessly.

[0031] The hinge groove 16 , the arc-shaped plate 17 and the abutment plate 18 are provided in two groups which are symmetrically distributed front to back, so that the control ring 14 can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise with relatively little effort.

[0032] In order to avoid unauthorized operation by unauthorized personnel, a locking ring 51 is provided on the outer side of the plug 11, and a plug 15 is provided on the left side of the control ring 14. The locking ring is connected to the plug 15 through a lock. Only after the staff unlocks the control ring 14 through the lock can they push the control ring 14 to the right and lock or remove the fastener. It should be noted that the lock is of any style, including mechanical locks and smart locks.

[0033] It should be additionally explained that when locking the fastener, the staff needs to first manually tighten the screw portion 91 slightly, and then lock it together through the control ring 14.

[0034] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by any technician in the field of the present invention are included in the patent scope of the present invention.
