Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of connectors, especially the installation structure of a self-aligning floating connector plug. Background Art
[0002] Connectors are mainly used for electrical connection between components to complete energy transmission. The defects of existing connectors on the market are as follows: when the connector plug is inserted into the socket, since both the plug and the socket are fixedly connected to the top plate of the box body, the operator needs to align the plug with the socket for insertion. In actual use, the insertion work often cannot be completed instantaneously, which is time-consuming. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an installation structure of a self-aligning floating connector plug to solve the problems existing in the background art.
[0004] To solve this technical problem, the technical solution of the utility model is:
[0005] The installation structure of a self-aligning floating connector plug includes a box body top plate and a plug outer shell. An insert core is inserted and connected in the plug outer shell. An installation window is opened on the box body top plate. The front end of the plug outer shell passes through the installation window. A resisting ring edge is formed around the outer wall of the plug outer shell, and the resisting ring edge abuts against the inner wall of the box body top plate. A first movement reserved gap is formed between the outer wall of the plug outer shell and the installation window. It also includes a movement limiting frame and a sealing ring. The sealing ring is arranged along the resisting ring edge. The movement limiting frame is sleeved on the periphery of the plug outer shell, and its front end presses the sealing ring and is fixedly connected to the box body top plate.
[0006] In this application, the plug outer shell is connected to the box body top plate by pressing the sealing ring with the movement limiting frame and fixedly connecting it to the box body top plate. Because the first movement reserved gap is set and the sealing ring is of a flexible structure, the plug outer shell can move 360 degrees relative to the box body top plate, and then when inserting, the plug can automatically guide the misalignment deviation with the socket.
[0007] Preferably, a pressing surface extends inward from the lower bottom surface of the movement limiting frame. It also includes a snap ring. The snap ring is sleeved on the plug outer shell and is arranged between the pressing surface and the sealing ring. The snap ring presses the sealing ring. A second movement reserved gap is formed between the outer wall of the snap ring and the inner wall of the movement limiting frame. A third movement reserved gap is formed between the inner wall of the pressing surface and the outer wall of the plug outer shell.
[0008] The setting of the snap ring makes the connection of the sealing ring tighter and the sealing performance better.
[0009] Preferably, a plug-in groove is formed between the low-resistance ring edge and the outer wall of the plug housing. The sealing ring includes a connecting ring edge inserted into the plug-in groove. An extension ring edge with a U-shaped cross-section is integrally formed at the outer end of the connecting ring edge. A pressing plane is integrally formed at the outer end of the extension ring edge. The pressing plane is pressed and connected to the top surface of the box body through the movable limiting frame.
[0010] Preferably, the outer contour of the snap ring fits the outer contour of the sealing ring.
[0011] Preferably, a guiding member is provided at the top end of the plug housing.
[0012] Preferably, a mating sealing ring is provided on the outer wall of the plug housing.
[0013] For the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0014] In this application, a first moving reserved gap is provided between the plug housing and the installation window, so that the plug housing can achieve 360-degree movement relative to the box top plate. Then, when plugging, the plug can automatically guide the misalignment deviation with the socket. In addition, a sealing ring, a snap ring, etc. are provided to make the overall waterproof performance better. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] As Figures 1-4 shown, in order to further explain the technical solutions of the present utility model, the present utility model will be elaborated in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0020] Embodiment 1
[0021] Self-positioning floating connector plug installation structure, including a box top plate 1 and a plug housing 2. An insert core 3 is inserted and connected inside the plug housing. An installation window 4 is opened on the box top plate. The front end of the plug housing passes through the installation window. A resisting ring edge 5 is formed around the outer wall of the plug housing, and the resisting ring edge abuts against the inner wall of the box top plate. A first movement reserved gap 6 is formed between the outer wall of the plug housing and the installation window. It also includes a movement limiting frame 7 and a sealing ring 8. The sealing ring is arranged along the resisting ring edge. The movement limiting frame is sleeved on the periphery of the plug housing, and its front end presses the sealing ring and is fixedly connected to the box top plate. Specifically, the movement limiting frame is fixed to the box top plate by screws.
[0022] In this application, the plug housing is connected to the box top plate by pressing the sealing ring with the movement limiting frame and fixedly connecting it to the box top plate. Because the first movement reserved gap is provided and the sealing ring is of a flexible structure, the plug housing can move 360 degrees relative to the box top plate, and then when plugging, the plug can automatically guide the misalignment deviation between the plug and the socket.
[0023] Specifically, a pressing surface 9 is formed by the inward extension of the bottom surface of the movement limiting frame. It also includes a snap ring 10. The snap ring is sleeved on the plug housing and is arranged between the pressing surface and the sealing ring. The snap ring presses the sealing ring. A second movement reserved gap 11 is formed between the outer wall of the snap ring and the inner wall of the movement limiting frame. A third movement reserved gap 12 is formed between the inner wall of the pressing surface and the outer wall of the plug housing. The setting of the snap ring makes the connection of the sealing ring tighter and the sealing performance better. An insertion groove 13 is formed between the resisting ring edge and the outer wall of the plug housing. The sealing ring includes a connecting ring edge 14 inserted into the insertion groove. An extension ring edge 15 with a U-shaped cross-section is integrally formed at the outer end of the connecting ring edge. A pressing plane 16 is integrally formed at the outer end of the extension ring edge. The pressing plane is pressed and connected to the top surface of the box by the movement limiting frame. In order to improve the sealing performance, the outer contour of the snap ring fits the outer contour of the sealing ring. A guiding member 17 is provided at the top end of the plug housing to play a guiding role during plugging. A mating sealing ring 18 is provided on the outer wall of the plug housing to further enhance the sealing performance.
