Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to a connector with increased CPA. Background Art
[0002] Traditional connectors can experience data transmission interruptions or loose physical connections due to unstable connections. Connector reliability is particularly important in environments with vibration or frequent plugging and unplugging. Most existing connectors rely on simple mechanical snap-fits to ensure secure connections. While this approach is simple and easy to use, it can, in some cases, become loose due to mechanical wear or external forces, potentially impacting normal device operation.
[0003] In addition, although some existing connectors with locking functions can solve the above problems to a certain extent, they often have problems such as complex unlocking and easy misoperation during actual operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a connector with an increased CPA, aiming to solve the problems of the connector being complicated to unlock and prone to misoperation.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the utility model, the first aspect of the utility model provides a connector with an additional CPA, comprising:
[0006] A base, wherein the base is provided with a buckle, which can prevent the CPA from moving forward when the connector body is in an unlocked state;
[0007] The CPA is pressed by the buckle of the base and restricted from moving forward, so as to be maintained in an unlocked state.
[0008] Optionally, it also includes:
[0009] a wire end capable of mating with the connector body;
[0010] The connector body is provided with a connector buckle point. When the connector buckle point presses the spring point on the CPA, the CPA moves forward through the first inclined surface and enters a locked state.
[0011] Optionally, when the connector body is in the locked state, a clearance fit is formed between the base and the CPA, so that the buckle of the base cannot be pressed down to a retractable state, thereby preventing the connector from falling off;
[0012] In the locked state, when the wire end is mated with the connector body, the spring point of the CPA and the buckle point of the base interfere with each other, preventing the CPA from falling off due to vibration or other external factors.
[0013] Optionally, a beveled elastic arm protrusion is provided at one end of the CPA, and the beveled elastic arm protrusion is pushed backward by fingers or tools to realize the unlocked state of the CPA.
[0014] Optionally, one end of the CPA is an elastic arm.
[0015] Optionally, a second inclined surface is provided on the CPA, and when the connector body is unlocked, the CPA is easily disengaged through the second inclined surface.
[0016] Optionally, the CPA retreats in the unlocked state and cooperates with the upper limit protrusion of the base.
[0017] One end of the base is configured as an I-shaped structure, and the CPA and the base are matched through the I-shaped structure;
[0018] The I-shaped structure is used to limit the freedom of the connector body in the X and Y directions and the forward and backward movement in the Z direction.
[0019] Beneficial effects:
[0020] The utility model provides a connector with an increased CPA, and obtains beneficial effects based on the content of exclusive right 1.
[0021] 1. The present invention introduces a CPA connector into the connector. By introducing a CPA component into the connector and utilizing a buckle on the base to restrict the movement of the CPA, the connector can maintain a certain stability in the unlocked state and is not easily affected by external vibrations. In the locked state, the clearance formed between the base and the CPA further enhances the firmness of the connection, effectively preventing the connector from unexpectedly falling off during use. At the same time, in the locked state, the mutual interference between the CPA's spring point and the base's buckle point effectively prevents the connector from loosening due to factors such as external vibration, thereby enhancing the connector's ability to resist external interference.
[0022] 2. The utility model is a connector with an additional CPA. By setting a bevel spring arm protrusion and a spring point structure on the CPA, the user can lock and unlock the connector through simple manual operation, which greatly simplifies the operation steps and improves the convenience of use.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-6 One embodiment of the present invention provides an embodiment of a connector with an increased CPA, including:
[0037] The base 2 is provided with a buckle 22, which can prevent the CPA 3 from moving forward when the connector body 1 is in the unlocked state;
[0038] CPA3 is pressed by the buckle 22 of the base 2 and restricts its forward movement, so as to maintain it in the unlocked state. One end of the CPA3 is an elastic arm 31.
[0039] It should be noted that the function of the buckle 22 is to prevent the CPA 3 from moving forward when the connector body 1 is in the unlocked state, thereby keeping the position of the CPA 3 stable.
[0040] In addition, an elastic arm 31 is provided at one end of the CPA 3 , which helps to improve the working performance and stability of the CPA 3 .
[0041] Among them, CPA3 is the connector position guarantee.
[0042] In some embodiments, further comprising:
[0043] A wire end, which can be matched with the connector body 1;
[0044] The connector body 1 is provided with a connector buckle 11. When the connector buckle 11 presses the spring point on the CPA 3, the CPA 3 moves forward via the first inclined surface 32 and enters a locked state. When the connector body 1 is in the locked state, a clearance fit is formed between the base 2 and the CPA 3, so that the buckle 22 of the base 2 cannot be pressed down to the retractable state, thereby preventing the connector from falling off.
[0045] In the locked state, when the wire end is mated with the connector body 1 , the spring point of the CPA 3 interferes with the base buckle point 21 , preventing the CPA 3 from falling off due to vibration or other external factors.
[0046] It should be noted that the wire end can be used in conjunction with the connector body 1. A connector buckle point 11 is provided on the connector body 1. When the connector buckle point 11 is pressed against the spring point on the CPA3, the CPA3 will move forward along the first inclined surface 32 thereon and eventually enter a locked state. When the connector body 1 is in the locked state, a clearance fit is formed between the base 2 and the CPA3. This fit ensures that the buckle 22 of the base 2 cannot be pressed to a withdrawable state, thereby effectively preventing the connector from falling off. In addition, in the locked state, when the wire end is correctly matched with the connector body 1, mutual interference will occur between the spring point of the CPA3 and the base buckle point 21, thereby preventing the CPA3 from falling off due to vibration or other external factors.
[0047] In one example, a beveled elastic arm protrusion 33 is provided at one end of the CPA 3, and the beveled elastic arm protrusion 33 is pushed backward by fingers or tools to realize the unlocked state of the CPA 3.
[0048] It should be noted that for the operation of CPA3, a beveled elastic arm protrusion 33 is provided at one end of CPA3. The user can use his fingers or tools to pull this protrusion backwards to adjust CPA3 to the unlocked state.
[0049] The CPA 3 is provided with a second inclined surface 35 , and when the connector body 1 is unlocked, the CPA 3 can be easily disengaged through the second inclined surface 35 .
[0050] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the CPA3 to be disengaged more easily when the connector body 1 is not in the locked state, a second inclined surface 35 is provided on the CPA3, which can help the CPA3 to exit the working position more smoothly.
[0051] The CPA 3 moves backward in the unlocked state and cooperates with the upper limit protrusion 34 of the base 2 .
[0052] It should be noted that in the unlocked state, CPA3 will move backward and cooperate with the limiting protrusion 34 on the base 2, which can prevent CPA3 from moving backward excessively.
[0053] One end of the base 2 is provided with an I-shaped structure 23, and the CPA 3 is matched with the base 2 via the I-shaped structure 23;
[0054] The I-shaped structure 23 is used to limit the freedom of the connector body 1 in the X and Y directions and the forward and backward movement in the Z direction.
[0055] It should be noted that to further enhance the stability of the connector, one end of the base 2 is configured as an I-shaped structure 23, which provides a tighter fit between the CPA 3 and the base 2. The I-shaped structure 23 not only limits the freedom of movement of the connector body 1 in the X and Y directions, but also controls its forward and backward range of motion in the Z direction.
[0056] In specific applications, the unlock status is as follows:
[0057] When the connector is in the unlocked state, the CPA3 is pressed and restrained by the latch 22 of the base 2. At this point, the CPA3 is in its rearward position and engages with the limiting protrusion 34 on the base 2 to prevent it from moving too far backward. To unlock the CPA3, the user can manually or use a tool to pull the inclined elastic arm protrusion 33 on the CPA3 backward to release it from the restricted state and prepare it for the locked state.
[0058] The locking process is as follows:
[0059] Align the cable end with the connector body 1, with the CPA3 in the unlocked, retracted position. When the connector buckle 11 on the connector body 1 contacts the spring point on the CPA3, as the cable end is further inserted, the connector buckle 11 presses against the spring point on the CPA3. Under the action of the connector buckle 11, the CPA3 moves forward along its first inclined surface 32 until it reaches the preset locked position. During this process, the CPA3's spring point interacts with the base buckle 21, ensuring that the CPA3 will not be disengaged due to external factors such as vibration.
[0060] The locked status is as follows:
[0061] When the connector body 1 is fully locked, the clearance between the base 2 and the CPA 3 prevents the base 2's latch 22 from being easily pressed into the retractable position, thus preventing the connector from accidentally falling off. In the locked state, the CPA 3's spring point interferes with the base's latch point 21, further enhancing the connector's overall stability.
[0062] Unlock and exit as follows:
[0063] To release the locked state, the user needs to pull the inclined elastic arm protrusion 33 on the CPA3 backward again to make the CPA3 return to the unlocked position. As the CPA3 retreats, the fixed relationship between the connector body 1 and the wire end is released, and the wire end can now be safely pulled out.
