Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a connector, in particular to a connector which can prevent accidental contact and disengagement. Background Art

[0002] See also Figure 7A As shown, a conventional waterproof connector set for water connection includes a female waterproof connector 80 and a male waterproof connector 90, the female waterproof connector 80 includes a first shell 81, a first water valve assembly 82, a first water pipe joint 83 and a pressing clip 84, the first water valve assembly 82 is accommodated and axially moves in the first shell 81, and the pressing clip 84 radially penetrates the first shell 81 and is near the front opening 811 of the first shell 81, the pressing clip 84 moves radially relative to the first shell 81, and the rear opening 812 of the first shell 81 is connected to the first water pipe joint 83, and is connected to a water pipe 84 through the first water pipe joint 83.

[0003] The male end waterproof connector 90 includes a second shell 91, a second water valve assembly 92 and a second water pipe joint 93. The second water valve assembly 92 is accommodated and axially movable in the second shell 91. The rear opening 912 of the second shell 91 is connected to the second water pipe joint 93 and is connected to another water pipe 94 through the second water pipe joint 93.

[0004] When the male waterproof connector 90 is to be plugged into the female connector 80, the pressing latch 84 is first pressed down and moved radially toward the first housing 81 until the insertion portion 911 of the second housing 91 of the male waterproof connector 90 is completely inserted into the first housing 81 from the front opening 811 of the first housing 81. Figure 7B As shown, the pressing latch 84 is released, allowing it to engage the second housing 91 located within the first housing 81. During insertion, the second water valve assembly 92 contacts the first water valve assembly 82 and axially pushes the first water valve assembly 82 away from the front opening 811 of the first housing 81, allowing the second housing 91 to communicate with the first housing 81, forming a smooth water passage.

[0005] When the male waterproof connector 90 is to be disconnected from the female waterproof connector 80, the water supply of the two water pipes 84 and 94 is first turned off, and then the pressing latch 84 is operated in the reverse order of the above-mentioned operation, so that the male waterproof connector 90 can be smoothly disconnected from the female waterproof connector 80 without leaking water. However, since the pressing latch 84 is disposed outside the first housing 81 of the female waterproof connector 80, it is often accidentally bumped and the pressing latch 84 momentarily loses its grip on the second housing 91 of the male waterproof connector 90, causing the male waterproof connector 90 to be disconnected from the female waterproof connector 80 and leaking water. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the fact that existing connector assemblies using press-on fasteners, such as the flip-up waterproof connector, are prone to collision and leakage problems, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a connector assembly and a female connector thereof that prevents mis-pressing.

[0007] The main technical means used to achieve the above-mentioned purpose are that the connector assembly for preventing mis-pressing includes a female connector and a male connector that can be selectively plugged into the female connector, wherein a pressing portion of a pressing latch of the female connector is spaced apart from the outside of a first shell of the female connector, so as to radially move the pressing latch to engage or release a second shell of the male connector located in the female connector, wherein:

[0117] The following describes various embodiments of the present invention in detail, with accompanying drawings as illustrations. In addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention can also be widely implemented in other embodiments. Any easy substitution, modification, and equivalent variation of any of the embodiments described are included within the scope of the present invention and are subject to the claims. In the description of the specification, many specific details and implementation examples are provided to enable the reader to have a more complete understanding of the present invention; however, these specific details and implementation examples should not be construed as limitations of the present invention. In addition, well-known steps or elements are not described in detail to avoid unnecessary limitations on the present invention.

[0118] The present invention is a connector assembly that prevents mis-pressure, and can be used, for example, as a waterproof connector assembly for connecting liquid cooling pipes of a liquid-cooled radiator, but is not limited to such applications. The following describes the technical content of the present invention in detail using multiple embodiments with accompanying drawings.

[0119] First see Figure 1 As shown, the connector assembly 1 for preventing mis-pressing of the present invention comprises a female connector 10 and a male connector 50 that can be selectively inserted into the female connector 10 .

[0120] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned female connector 10 mainly includes a first shell 11, an elastic anti-pressure part 20 and a push-on fastener 30; in this embodiment, the female connector 10 can be a female waterproof connector, so it further includes a first water pipe joint 25 and a first water valve assembly 40; in this embodiment, the first shell 11 can be a tube body, and the push-on fastener 30 is arranged on the outer side 111 of the first shell 11 and radially penetrates the first shell 11, the first water pipe joint 25 is sleeved on the first shell 11, and the first water valve assembly 40 is accommodated in the first shell 11.

[0121] The outer side 111 of the first shell 11 has a first position and a second position, and a step 114 is formed at the junction of the first position and the second position. In the first embodiment, the outer side 111 of the first shell 11 forms a first concave annular groove 112 and a second concave annular groove 113 at two different first positions and second positions, respectively. The step 114 is located between the first concave annular groove 112 and the second concave annular groove 113 and is in the form of a convex ring, but is not limited to this. In addition, the first shell 11 has a first front opening 12 and a first rear opening 13. In the first embodiment, the first concave annular groove 112 is closer to the first front opening 12 than the second concave annular groove 113. The first front opening 12 is for the male end connector 50 to be inserted, and the first rear opening 13 is connected to the first water pipe joint 25. For example Figure 3 As shown, an inner ring wall of the first housing 11 has an inner diameter R T1 , and a constricted portion 14 protrudes inward near the first front opening 12, and the constricted portion 14 has a second inner diameter R N The constricted portion 14 has two convex surfaces and a flat surface, wherein the convex surface facing the first front opening 12 forms an inclined surface 141, and the other convex surface facing the first rear opening 13 is a vertical surface 142. A first sealing member 143 is embedded in the flat surface of the constricted portion 14. Figure 3 As shown, the inner diameter R of the inner ring wall of the first shell 11 T1 larger than the inner diameter R of the constricted portion 14 N , but smaller than the diameter R of the first front opening 12 F1 (R F1 >R T1 >R N ).

[0122] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the elastic anti-pressure member 20 moves between a first position and a second position on the outer side 111 of the first shell 11, and can be elastically deformed through the step portion 114; in this embodiment, the elastic anti-pressure member 20 can selectively move to the first concave ring groove 112 or the second concave ring groove 113, and the elastic anti-pressure member 20 includes a sleeve 21 and a plurality of elastic portions 22, the sleeve 21 maintains a gap with the outer side 111 of the first shell 11, and protrudes from the outer side 111 of the first shell 11, and the elastic portions 22 extend inward from the inner surface of the sleeve 21 as a whole or are arranged on the inner surface of the sleeve 21, and stop at the outer side 111 of the first shell 11 of the female connector 10; specifically, the elastic portions 22 stop at the first concave ring groove 112 or the second concave ring groove 113 on the outer side 111 of the first shell 11. When the elastic pressure-proof member 20 moves between the second concave annular groove 113 and the first concave annular groove 112, as shown in FIG. Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown, the elastic portions 22 can be elastically deformed to pass through the step portion 114 of the outer side 111 of the first shell 11. In one embodiment, each of the elastic portions 22 is in the shape of a convex arc convex inwardly.

[0123] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the above-mentioned pressing latch 30 includes a pressing portion 31, a locking portion 32, and an elastic member 33. The pressing portion 31 is spaced apart from the outer side 111 of the first shell 11 of the female connector 10 to radially move the pressing latch 30 to engage or release the portion of the male connector 50 located within the female connector 10. The locking portion 32 extends integrally from the pressing portion 31 and radially penetrates the first shell 11, near the first front opening 12, and is located in front of the constricted portion 14. The elastic member 33 is disposed between the inner surface of the pressing portion 31 and the outer side 111 of the first shell 11, providing a restoring force to the pressing portion 31 after it is pressed down and released. In the first embodiment, the pressing portion 31 has a thickness and overlaps with the first concave annular groove 112 and the second concave annular groove 113 in the radial direction, and forms a groove 311 on an inner surface of the first concave annular groove 112 to match the blocking portion 22; wherein the thickness is greater than the depth of the groove 311, and the elastic member 33 is closer to the first front opening 12 than the first position, so that the blocking portion 22 does not interfere with the elastic member 33. In one embodiment, the locking portion 32 is a ring. Figure 3 As shown, when the pressing portion 31 is released, the lower portion 321 of the locking portion 32 moves upward and protrudes into the first housing 11 .

[0124] like Figure 3 and Figure 4A As shown, if you want to insert the male connector 50, move the elastic anti-pressure piece 20 to the first concave ring groove 112 (i.e., the first position), so that the elastic parts 22 stop at the first concave ring groove 112. At this time, the ring 21 is located between the pressing part 31 and the outer side 111 of the first shell 11, and is aligned with the groove 311. Then press down the pressing part 31. At this time, the ring 21 will enter the groove 311 of the pressing part 31, so that the pressing part 31 is closer to the outer side 111 of the first shell 11, which is enough for the lower part 321 of the buckle part 32 to move downward and no longer protrude into the first shell 11, so as not to interfere with the inserted male connector 50, so that the male connector 50 can be inserted smoothly. For example Figure 4B As shown, in order to ensure that the pressing portion 31 is not hit and the male connector 50 is not disengaged, the elastic anti-pressure member 20 is moved backward to the second concave ring groove 113 (second position), so that the ring 21 is no longer aligned with the groove 311 and resists the pressing portion 31. When the pressing portion 31 is hit, it will be blocked by the ring 21 protruding from the outer side 111 of the first shell 11 and cannot be pressed down. Figure 4AAs shown, when the elastic pressure-proof member 20 moves to the first position of the outer side 111 of the first shell 11, the pressing portion 31 of the pressing latch 30 moves radially a first distance relative to the outer side 111 of the first shell 11; and as shown in FIG. Figure 4B As shown, when the elastic anti-pressure member 20 moves to the second position of the outer side 111 of the first shell 11, the pressing portion 31 of the pressing latch 30 moves radially a second distance relative to the outer side 111 of the first shell 11; wherein the second distance is shorter than the first distance; in the first embodiment, Figure 4B The pressing portion 31 at the second position shown in FIG. 1 is radially moved relative to the outer side 111 of the first housing 11 by a second distance of 0, which is shorter than the second distance shown in FIG. Figure 4A As shown, the elastic pressure-preventing member 20 at the first position moves radially a first distance relative to the outer side 111 of the first housing 11 .
