Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of plug connectors, and particularly to an engineering equipment connector. Background Art
[0002] Existing engineering equipment connectors mainly install male and female plugs on the same plane by means of bolt fixation. This design shows a certain degree of stability and durability in environments with intense vibration and heavy object pulling. However, with the continuous progress of forklift technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, traditional connectors gradually reveal some limitations in terms of function, performance, and user experience.
[0003] In some scenarios, referring to Figure 1 , the male plug component 1 and the female plug component 2 of the engineering equipment connector are fixed through a locking component. The locking component includes a buckle 3 provided on the female plug component 2 and a ferrule 4 provided on the male plug component 1. When the male plug component 1 and the female plug component 2 are engaged, the buckle 3 snaps into the ferrule 4 for limiting, which can prevent the male plug component 1 and the female plug component 2 from disengaging under environments such as vibration.
[0004] However, during long-term use, the buckle 3 is prone to deformation after multiple presses, resulting in its inability to fully rebound to the initial state. As a result, the tight fit with the ferrule 4 for limiting is affected, leading to a significant reduction in the locking force provided by it, making the engineering equipment connector easy to unplug when subjected to external forces. Especially in a vibrating environment, the stability of the connection cannot be effectively guaranteed.
[0005] Therefore, the engineering equipment connector studied in this application is suitable for multiple scenarios, and after long-term use, the engineering equipment connector can still ensure the stability of the connection. Utility Model Content

The locking component includes a first mating part and a second mating part. The first mating part is connected to the plug component, and the second mating part is connected to the socket component; the fixing component includes a limiting part and an abutting part. The limiting part is connected to the socket component, and the abutting part is slidably and limit-connected to the limiting part;
[0009] When the plug assembly is mated with the socket assembly, the abutting member slides towards the plug assembly and abuts and supports between the first mating member and the outer wall of the plug assembly, and the abutting member is limited by the limiting member.

After the plug assembly and the socket assembly are installed, the abutting member supports the first mating member away from the plug assembly along the limiting member towards the plug assembly, that is, it can avoid the reduction of the connection strength of the first mating member after long-term use and the influence of environmental vibration factors, and compress and fall off along the second mating member towards the plug assembly. Therefore, after long-term use, the engineering equipment connector can still ensure the stability of the connection.

The abutting member includes a first clamping portion with elastic deformation ability, and the first clamping portion is arranged corresponding to the second limiting portion; when the plug assembly is mated with the socket assembly, the first clamping portion abuts against the side of the second limiting portion facing the plug assembly.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, through the first clamping portion with elastic deformation ability, when the abutting member slides along the sliding cavity to the second limiting portion, the first clamping portion can be pressed so that the first clamping portion abuts against the side of the second limiting portion facing the plug assembly, so that the movement of the abutting member away from the plug assembly can be better limited after installation.
[0016] Optionally, when the plug assembly and the socket assembly are not mated, the first clamping portion abuts against the side of the second limiting portion facing the socket assembly.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the abutting member can be fixed when not mated.

When the plug assembly is mated with the socket assembly, the second clamping portion is clamped to the side of the third limiting portion facing away from the plug assembly.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement of the abutting member towards the plug assembly can be limited, so that the first mating member can be supported more stably.
[0020] Optionally, the socket assembly includes a first terminal, and an anti-touch cap is installed at the end of the first terminal.

Detailed implementation manners
[0036] The following further elaborates on the present application Figure 2-7 with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] The embodiments of the present application disclose an engineering equipment connector. Referring to Figure 2 , the engineering equipment connector includes a plug assembly 5, a socket assembly 6, a locking assembly 7, and a fixing assembly 8. In this embodiment, the plug assembly 5 is a female plug assembly, and the socket assembly 6 is a male plug assembly.
[0038] The locking assembly 7 includes a first fitting 71 and a second fitting 72. In this embodiment, the first fitting 71 is a buckle, and the second fitting 72 is a ferrule. The first fitting 71 is integrally connected to the plug assembly 5, and the second fitting 72 is integrally connected to the socket assembly 6. That is, when the plug assembly 5 and the socket assembly 6 are mated, they are fixed by buckling the buckle 3 into the ferrule 4. In other embodiments, the first fitting 71 can be installed on the socket assembly 6, and at this time, the second fitting is installed on the plug assembly 5.
[0039] The fixing component 8 includes a limiting member 81 and an abutting member 82. The limiting member 81 is integrally connected to the second plug component 6. The limiting member 81 is used to limit the moving direction of the abutting member 82. The abutting member 82 is slidably and limitably connected to the limiting member 81. The abutting member 82 is used to abut and support the first fitting member 71, so as to press the limiting first fitting member 71 towards the plug component 5. So that when the first fitting member 71 becomes loose, through the abutting and supporting of the abutting member 82, the first fitting member 71 and the second fitting member 72 can still be stably clamped.
[0040] Refer to Figure 3 , when the plug component 5 is mated with the socket component 6, the abutting member 82 slides towards the plug component 5 and abuts and supports between the first fitting member 71 and the outer wall of the plug component 5, and the abutting member 82 is limited by the limiting member 81. By limiting the abutting member 82 with the limiting member 81, the abutting member 82 can stably support the first fitting member 71.
[0041] Refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the abutting member 82 includes an abutting portion 821. When the plug component 5 is mated with the socket component 6, the abutting portion 821 abuts against the end of the first fitting member 71 facing the socket component 6. So that the depth of the insertion of the abutting member 82 between the first fitting member 71 and the plug component 5 can be limited, so as to better support the first fitting member 71.
[0042] In some embodiments, the limiting member 81 includes a sliding cavity 9 and a first limiting portion 10. In this embodiment, the sliding cavity 9 is sequentially divided to form a first sliding groove 91, a second sliding groove 92 and a third sliding groove 93. The abutting member 82 slides in the sliding cavity 9. The abutting member 82 includes a first sliding portion 822, a second sliding portion 823 and a third sliding portion 824 corresponding to the first sliding groove 91, the second sliding groove 92 and the third sliding groove 93 one by one. When not mated, the first limiting portion 10 abuts against the end face of the abutting member 82 facing the limiting member 81. In this embodiment, the first limiting portion 10 abuts against the abutting portion 821, so as to limit the sliding position of the abutting member 82 along the limiting member 81.
[0043] In some embodiments, a second limiting portion 11 is integrally connected to the side wall of the sliding cavity 9 facing the abutting portion 821, that is, in this embodiment, the second limiting portion 11 is connected to the wall surfaces of the first sliding portion 822 and the third sliding portion 824 facing the second sliding portion 823; the abutting member 82 includes a first clamping portion 825 with elastic deformation ability. In this embodiment, the elastic deformation of the first clamping portion 825 is realized by grooving the first sliding portion 822 and the third sliding portion 824. The number and position of the first clamping portion 825 and the second limiting portion 11 are correspondingly arranged.
[0044] In some embodiments, when the plug assembly 5 and the socket assembly 6 are not mated, the first clamping portion 825 abuts against the side of the second limiting portion 11 facing the socket assembly 6, so that the abutting member 82 is limited and fixed when not installed, and can be used conveniently during use.
[0045] Reference Figure 5 When the plug assembly 5 is mated with the socket assembly 6, the first clamping portion 825 abuts against the side of the second limiting portion 11 toward the plug assembly 5, so that when the abutting member 82 abuts and supports the first mating member 71, the second limiting portion 11 can limit the abutting member 82 to move toward the socket assembly 6, so that the first mating member 71 can be supported more stably.
[0046] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, a third limiting portion 12 is further provided in the sliding cavity 9. In this embodiment, the third limiting portion 12 is provided in the second sliding groove 92. The abutment member 82 further includes a second clamping portion 826. In this embodiment, the second clamping portion 826 is integrally connected to the second sliding portion 823. When the plug assembly 5 is mated with the socket assembly 6, the second clamping portion 826 is clamped to the side of the third limiting portion 12 facing away from the plug assembly 5, so that the abutment member 82 can be limited to move toward the plug assembly 5. Figure 5 In this embodiment, the second clamping portion 826 cooperates with the first clamping portion 825, so that the abutting member 82 can be more stably limited in the limiting member 81, so that the abutting member 82 can be more stably supported on the first matching member 71.
[0047] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the socket assembly 6 includes two first terminals 16 spaced apart from each other, with anti-touch caps 17 mounted at the ends of the first terminals 16. In this embodiment, the anti-touch caps 17 separate the ends of the first terminals 16 from the outside world by more than 3 mm, providing sufficient creepage distance to prevent electric shock.
[0048] In some embodiments, a protective shell 18 is provided around the outer periphery of the first terminal 16, with a gap between the protective shell 18 and the outer wall of the first terminal 16. In this embodiment, the gap between the inner wall of the protective shell 18 and the outer wall of the first terminal 16 is less than 3.5 mm, which better prevents fingers from reaching around the outer periphery of the first terminal 16, ensuring safe use.
[0049] In this embodiment, the second plug assembly 6 further includes a plurality of signal terminals 19 , specifically six in number, and all of them are located between the two first terminals 16 .
[0050] Refer again Figure 3, in this embodiment, the engineering equipment connector is provided with a horizontal mounting hole 20 in the thickness direction, and the engineering equipment connector can be horizontally fixed through the horizontal mounting hole 20. The engineering equipment connector is also provided with a vertical mounting hole 21 in the length direction, and the engineering equipment connector can be vertically fixed through the vertical mounting hole 21. So that the engineering equipment connector can be fixed in different places according to needs and applied to different scenarios.
[0051] The implementation principle of an engineering equipment connector in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: The plug assembly 5 and the socket assembly 6 are fixed by the first fitting 71 and the second fitting 72. After the plug assembly 5 and the socket assembly 6 are installed, the abutting member 82 supports the first fitting 71 away from the plug assembly 5 along the limiting member 81, that is, it can prevent the connection strength of the first fitting 71 from decreasing after long-term use and the influence of environmental vibration factors, and compress and fall off along the second fitting 72 in the direction of the plug assembly 5. So that after long-term use, the engineering equipment connector can still ensure the stability of the connection.
[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
