Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation accessories, in particular to a floating docking mechanism for plug connectors. Background Art

[0002] Before the electrical equipment leaves the factory, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive test on the electrical performance, including the structural strength test, the appearance size detection, and the important electrical performance test. For the electrical performance test link, connecting to the power plug interface of the electrical appliance is a relatively common test action. In order to improve the detection efficiency, it is a technical need to ensure the consistency of each link of the product, process, production, and detection by using an automatic plugging device to replace manual connection to the power plug interface.

[0003] However, when the airtight detection plug is inserted into the product hole, it often occurs that the airtight detection plug is not aligned with the product hole interface, and the plugging accuracy is insufficient, resulting in damage; or the plug connector is accurately docked, but the power connection probe is deviated from the power plug interface, damaging the probe or the power connection elastic piece of the electrical appliance.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a floating docking mechanism for plug connectors has become a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to provide a floating docking mechanism for plug connectors.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a floating docking mechanism for plug connectors, including: a fixed block, one end of the fixed block is connected to a connector, and a floating docking component is arranged at the connection between the fixed block and the connector. The floating docking component includes a floating head, a cage, and steel balls. The floating head is arranged on the fixed block and is connected to the connector at one end. The cage is arranged at the connection between the fixed block and the floating head, and the steel balls are arranged on the cage to form a floating docking function.

[0007] During actual use, the fixed block is fixed on an external fixed plate, and the fixed block is connected to the connector through the floating docking component. In the floating docking component, the floating head is used to connect the fixed block and the connector. The design of the steel balls on the cage enables the floating head to freely float within a relative plane range when the floating head is inserted into the connector.

[0008] Preferably, the fixed block has an annular structure, and the radius of the annular fixed block corresponds to the radius of the connector.

[0009] Both the fixed block and the connector adopt existing structures on the market, and the fixed block is plugged into the connector through the floating docking component.

[0010] Preferably, a connection hole is preset on the connector.

[0011] There is more than one connecting hole preset on the connector head, and the connecting holes on connector heads of different models are different. This method is common knowledge in the art, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0012] Preferably, the floating head has a horizontal "T"-shaped structure, and a convex block is provided at one end of the floating head, and a through hole is preset at the other end of the floating head.

[0013] The convex block and the floating head are of an integrally formed structure. Such a design ensures the stability of the connection between the convex block and the floating head. The through hole is designed as an internal thread structure, which is convenient for inserting a locking member therein.

[0014] Preferably, two retainers are arranged in parallel on the fixed block, and connection grooves for connecting steel balls are preset on the retainers. More than one steel ball is arranged at equal intervals on the retainers, and the radius of the steel ball corresponds to the gap between the fixed block and the floating head.

[0015] The retainers are correspondingly arranged at both ends of the fixed block. The steel balls are movably connected to the connection grooves, so that the steel balls can rotate movably inside the connection grooves. The design of corresponding gaps makes the steel balls fit the surfaces of the fixed block and the floating head.

[0016] Preferably, the locking member is inserted and installed in the through hole preset at the other end of the floating head.

[0017] The locking member can adopt existing structures such as bolts on the market and is used to lock and fix the floating head and the fixed block.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0019] When the present utility model is in use, due to the design of the steel balls on the retainer, when the floating head is inserted into the connector head, the floating head can freely float within a relative plane range. During the docking operation of the automated equipment, the automatic alignment is achieved by using the alignment torque during docking, omitting the process of using other equipment for alignment, improving the production efficiency, and the overall structure is simple, thus facilitating the popularization and use.
