[0022] Example 1

[0023] This embodiment provides a connector auxiliary installation tool, which includes a hollow mounting tube 100, one end of the mounting tube 100 is provided with a fixed card slot 200, the fixed card slot 200 is engaged with the female terminal 300 of the connector, the other end of the mounting tube 100 is provided with a rotating assembly 400, and the side wall of the mounting tube 100 is provided with a cable release outlet 101 connected to both ends of the mounting tube 100, and the cable release outlet 101 is connected to the internal cavity of the mounting tube 100.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting tube 100 is a hollow tubular structure, and the cavity inside the mounting tube 100 forms a cable guide groove. A fixed card slot 200 is provided at one end of the mounting tube 100, and the fixed card slot 200 can be engaged with the female terminal 300 of the signal line, so that the mounting tube 100 and the female terminal 300 form a whole. The connecting cable of the female terminal 300 can be placed in the cable guide groove through the cable outlet 101 to prevent the cable from affecting subsequent installation operations. It can be understood that the existing signal line connectors are usually divided into male terminals and female terminals 300. During installation, the female terminal 300 is docked with the male terminal and threadedly locked by rotation. However, the existing connectors are usually set on the back of the device, which is inconvenient to operate in a narrow environment. Or in order to protect the terminals, the male terminals are usually set in the sink, which is very inconvenient to operate with ordinary wrenches and other operating tools. This embodiment provides a connector auxiliary installation tool. By clamping the female terminal 300 on the mounting tube 100 to form a whole with the mounting tube 100, the operating part of the female terminal 300 is effectively extended, making it easier to extend the female terminal 300 into the download space for connection operations, and adapting to various complex environments. At the same time, a rotating assembly 400 is provided at the end of the mounting tube 100 away from the fixed card slot 200. The rotating assembly 400 can be used to connect an external drive device or an operating tool to facilitate the rotation of the mounting tube 100. Since the mounting tube 100 and the female terminal 300 are clamped to form a whole, at this time, only the mounting tube 100 needs to be rotated to drive the female terminal 300 to rotate, thereby locking the female terminal 300 and the male terminal. After the installation is completed, the connecting cable of the female terminal 300 can be removed from the cable outlet 101 to separate the mounting tube 100 from the female terminal 300, thereby removing the mounting tube 100. The connector auxiliary installation tool provided in this embodiment connects to the female terminal 300 through the fixed slot 200 on the mounting tube 100, effectively extending the operating portion of the female terminal 300, making it easier to place the female terminal 300 into a specific operating space and connect it to the male terminal. During operation, the external tool is connected to the rotating assembly 400 on the mounting tube 100 and rotated to rotate and lock the female terminal 300 and the male terminal, facilitating operation while ensuring a good connection.

[0025] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the rotating assembly 400 includes a hand-tightening portion 401 provided along the peripheral wall of the mounting tube 100 , and the diameter of the hand-tightening portion 401 is larger than the diameter of the mounting tube 100 .

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the peripheral wall of the mounting tube 100 is provided with a hand-tightening portion 401. The hand-tightening portion 401 protrudes from the peripheral wall of the mounting tube 100, making it easier for the operator to grasp the hand-tightening portion 401 and rotate the mounting tube 100. The diameter of the hand-tightening portion 401 is larger than the diameter of the mounting tube 100, saving effort during rotation and ensuring that the female terminal 300 is rotated and locked, preventing the female terminal 300 from separating from the male terminal. The hand-tightening portion 401 facilitates the operator's rotation of the mounting tube 100, allowing the connector to be installed without the use of external tools, thereby improving convenience and efficiency.

[0027] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, an anti-slip component is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the hand-tightening portion 401 .

[0028] Optionally, the anti-slip component includes one or more of anti-slip stripes, anti-slip grooves or anti-slip covers.

[0029] In this embodiment, the operator can rotate the hand-tightening part 401 by holding or pinching it. To prevent it from slipping during rotation, an anti-slip component is provided on the surface of the hand-tightening part 401, thereby increasing the friction when in contact with the hand, preventing the operator from slipping off the hand-tightening part 401 during operation, and improving the safety of the joint during installation. Specifically, in this embodiment, the anti-slip component can adopt an anti-slip stripe or anti-slip groove structure, and the anti-slip stripe can adopt a structure such as straight stripes or oblique stripes. Optionally, in some other embodiments, the anti-slip component can also adopt an anti-slip sleeve structure made of materials such as rubber, silicone, or plastic, and the anti-slip sleeve is directly sleeved on the outer wall of the hand-tightening part 401. In addition to playing an anti-slip role, the anti-slip sleeve itself has a certain toughness, which is convenient for the operator to hold, and improves the comfort of the joint auxiliary installation tool when using it. The anti-slip sleeve is detachably connected to the hand-tightening part 401, making it easy to replace the anti-slip sleeve.

[0030] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the rotating assembly 400 includes a wrench connecting portion 402 , which is disposed at one end of the mounting tube 100 away from the fixing slot 200 , and is used to connect a wrench.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a wrench connection portion 402 is provided at one end of the mounting tube 100 away from the fixing slot 200. The wrench connection portion 402 is used to connect an external tool such as a wrench, facilitating the installation of the female terminal 300 by rotating the mounting tube 100 with the aid of a wrench. It is understood that when the female terminal 300 needs to be tightened to a certain degree to ensure the stability of the joint or when an overtightened joint needs to be loosened, it is difficult to achieve the required operation using only the hand-tightening portion 401. In this case, a tool such as a wrench can be connected to increase the rotational force arm, making it easier to tighten or loosen the female terminal 300.

[0032] Optionally, in other embodiments, a connecting protrusion may be provided on the end of the mounting tube 100 away from the fixing slot 200. This connecting protrusion is used to connect to a power tool such as an electric screwdriver or an electric handle. Specifically, the connecting protrusion can be configured to match the power tool as needed, and the specific shape is not limited in this embodiment. By providing a connecting protrusion for connecting to a power tool, it is convenient, labor-saving, and improves installation efficiency.

[0033] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the depth of the fixing slot 200 is smaller than the length of the connecting portion of the female terminal 300 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixing slot 200 is used to connect to the female terminal 300. The depth of the fixing slot 200 is less than the length of the connecting portion of the female terminal 300. When the female terminal 300 is engaged in the fixing slot 200, the connecting portion of the female terminal 300 protrudes from the fixing slot 200, allowing the female terminal 300 to be docked with the male terminal and simultaneously rotated by rotating the mounting tube 100. The protrusion of the female terminal 300 from the fixing slot 200 prevents improper installation and ensures the stability of the connector after connection.

[0035] Optionally, in some embodiments of this embodiment, the fixing slot 200 is configured as a hexagonal structure, and the size of the fixing slot 200 is adapted to the size of the female terminal 300 .

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed slot 200 is set to an inner hexagonal structure. It should be noted that the existing signal line connector usually adopts a hexagonal structure, so the fixed slot 200 is set to an adaptive hexagonal structure. The size of the fixed slot 200 is adapted to the size of the female terminal 300. During installation, it is only necessary to insert the female terminal 300 into the fixed slot 200, which is convenient and quick to operate. When the mounting tube 100 is rotated, the hexagonal structure can also form a lock with the female terminal 300, ensuring that the mounting tube 100 and the female terminal 300 rotate synchronously, thereby rotating the female terminal 300 and the male terminal together.

[0037] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the mounting tube 100 is a cylindrical plastic sleeve or a metal sleeve.

[0038] In this embodiment, the mounting tube 100 is configured as a cylindrical structure to facilitate rotation and prevent the side wall of the mounting tube 100 from contacting the external environment during rotation. The mounting tube 100 can be made of metal, which has high strength and long service life. Optionally, the mounting tube 100 can also be made of plastic. Because the SMA connector is provided with a ground shielding and anti-interference layer, the use of a softer plastic material can prevent the mounting tube 100 from damaging the female terminal 300 or the male terminal during installation. At the same time, the use of plastic material can utilize existing 3D printing technology for production, reducing production costs and production difficulty.

[0039] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the mounting tube 100 and the rotating assembly 400 are integrally formed.

[0040] In this embodiment, the one-piece molding process refers to the process of completing the molding of the entire part in one mold at one time. Compared with the traditional step-by-step manufacturing process, one-piece molding greatly reduces the cost of part production and has a faster production speed, which can produce various parts, products, tools, etc. in a very short time. The mounting tube 100 and the rotating assembly 400 are integrally molded, which can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. At the same time, the one-piece molding has a high connection strength. The one-piece molding of the mounting tube 100 and the rotating assembly 400 can increase the connection strength between the mounting tube 100 and the rotating assembly 400, avoid the mounting tube 100 and the rotating assembly 400 from detaching during use, and increase the service life of the mounting tube 100 and the rotating assembly 400.

[0041] When the connector auxiliary installation tool provided in this embodiment is used, the connecting cable of the female terminal 300 is placed into the mounting tube 100 through the cable outlet 101, and the cable is moved along the length direction of the mounting tube 100 so that the female terminal 300 is snapped into the fixed slot 200 of the mounting tube 100. Then the mounting tube 100 and the female terminal 300 are moved together to the installation position, the female terminal 300 is docked with the male terminal, and the mounting tube 100 is rotated to rotate and lock the female terminal 300 and the male terminal. During rotation, the operator can manually rotate the hand-tightening part 401, or use a tool such as a wrench to rotate the wrench connection part 402 to ensure that the female terminal 300 is stably connected to the male terminal. After connection, the female terminal 300 is removed from the cable outlet 101 to complete the entire operation. When the female terminal 300 needs to be removed, the connector auxiliary installation tool is inserted into the female terminal 300, and then the mounting tube 100 is rotated in the opposite direction.

[0042] In summary, the present invention provides a connector auxiliary installation tool, which includes a hollow mounting tube 100, one end of which is provided with a fixed card slot 200, which is engaged with the female terminal 300 of the connector, and the other end of the mounting tube 100 is provided with a rotating assembly 400. The side wall of the mounting tube 100 is provided with a cable outlet 101 connected to both ends of the mounting tube 100, and the cable outlet 101 is connected to the internal cavity of the mounting tube 100. The female terminal 300 is connected through the fixed card slot 200 on the mounting tube 100, thereby effectively extending the operating part of the female terminal 300, making it easier to place the female terminal 300 in a special operating space and connect it to the male terminal. During operation, an external tool can be connected to the rotating assembly 400 on the mounting tube 100 for rotation, thereby rotating and locking the female terminal 300 and the male terminal, facilitating operation while ensuring the connection effect.

[0043] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
