Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, industrial connectors are generally used to connect the PDU cables in the cabinets of data center computer rooms. Industrial connectors are divided into two parts: male and female. The cover plate on the female industrial connector is fastened in cooperation with the anti-detachment buckle of the male plug to prevent the male and female connectors from becoming disconnected, resulting in poor contact at the line connection. Disadvantages: 1. There may be a risk that the cover plate on the female connector and the anti-detachment buckle of the male connector are not installed in place during installation or fall off due to later construction; 2. And it is impossible to determine whether the power supply at the industrial connector is normal. When a line fails, it is only possible to check the power supply situation at the PDU and the upper power distribution cabinet of the industrial connector, and it is impossible to determine whether the industrial connector is connected properly and the power supply is normal.

[0019] It should be noted that all the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, upper end, lower end, top, bottom,...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0020] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly defined. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0021] In addition, the descriptions such as "first" and "second" in the present invention are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present invention.

[0022] Such as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, a new type of male industrial connector for a data center, the male industrial connector 100 includes a male industrial connector housing 1; wherein: one end of the male industrial connector housing 1 is provided with a plug-in end 11; a status indicator light 2 is arranged on the outer side wall of the male industrial connector housing 1; an insulating part 3 is installed inside the male industrial connector housing 1; plug-in parts 4 and a trigger circuit 5 are distributed on the insulating part 3; the male industrial connector 100 is plugged into a female industrial connector 200 through the plug-in end 11; the male industrial connector 100 is connected to the female industrial connector 200 through the plug-in parts 4 and triggers the trigger circuit 5 to light up the status indicator light 2. By setting the status indicator light 2 for whether the industrial connector is connected normally and whether the power supply is normal in the present utility model, it can be clearly seen whether the industrial connector is properly installed during installation, and it is convenient for the later maintenance and inspection of the industrial connector. It can be judged whether the industrial connector is connected normally and the power supply is normal through visual inspection, greatly shortening the manual time for maintenance and inspection; if a line fault occurs, it can also be quickly judged which industrial connector is abnormal, and at the same time, the fault emergency response time is also greatly shortened.

[0023] Specifically, in the solution of this embodiment, the plug-in parts 4 include a live wire plug 41, a neutral wire plug 42 and a ground wire plug 43; the live wire plug 41, the neutral wire plug 42 and the ground wire plug 43 are distributed in a triangular shape on the insulating part 3. It should be noted that the insulating part 3 is installed inside the male industrial connector housing 1 and is used to install and fix the neutral wire plug 42, the live wire plug 41 and the ground wire plug 43.

[0024] Specifically, in the solution of this embodiment, the trigger circuit 5 includes a travel switch 51 and a current limiting resistor 52; it should be noted that when the male industrial connector is inserted into the female industrial connector 200, the electrical connection method is as Figure 3 shown: the live wire plug 41 is connected to one end of the travel switch 51; the other end of the travel switch 51 is connected to one end of the current limiting resistor 52; the other end of the current limiting resistor 52 is connected to one end of the status indicator light 2; the other end of the status indicator light 2 is connected to the neutral wire plug 42. It should be noted that the travel switch 51 is used to trigger a signal when the male industrial connector is connected to the female industrial connector 200, so as to light up the status indicator light 2. The status indicator light 2 is used to feedback whether the connection state between the male industrial connector and the female industrial connector 200 is accurate and whether the power supply of this line is normal.

[0025] It should be noted that the function of the current limiting resistor 52 is to enable the status indicator light 2 to work normally in the circuit.

[0026] Specifically, in the solution of this embodiment, the travel switch 51 is disposed at the center of the insulating member 3. It should be noted that when the male industrial connector is inserted into the female industrial connector 200, after the insertion depth position is accurately in place, the female industrial connector 200 touches the travel switch 51. At this time, the travel switch 51 is closed, connecting the circuit of the status indicator light 2. At this time, the status indicator light 2 is lit, indicating that the connection state of this path of industrial connector is normal and the power supply is normal; if the insertion depth position is not in place or becomes loose and falls off subsequently, the travel switch 51 will not be triggered at this time, so that the status indicator light 2 will go out, indicating that the connection state of this path of industrial connector is abnormal; if the connection state is normal at this time but there is no power supply for the industrial connector line, the status indicator light 2 will also go out due to the loss of power at this time, indicating that the power supply of this path of industrial connector is abnormal.

[0027] Specifically, in the solution of this embodiment, an anti-drop buckle 6 is disposed on the outer side wall of the housing 1 of the male industrial connector; the anti-drop buckle 6 is buckled with the cover plate 7 of the female industrial connector 200 for fixing the connection between the male industrial connector and the female industrial connector 200.

[0028] Specifically, in the solution of this embodiment, the plug end 11 is provided with a positioning portion 111; the positioning portion 111 is inserted into the positioning groove 8 of the female industrial connector 200. It should be noted that by providing the positioning portion 111, it is convenient for the male industrial connector to be accurately inserted onto the female industrial connector 200, improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, it can also prevent rotation between the male industrial connector and the female industrial connector 200, further improving the connection stability between the male industrial connector and the female industrial connector 200.
