[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The utility model provides a technical solution for a communication equipment connector with adjustable docking angle.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including two connecting plugs 1, the outer surface of the connecting plug 1 is provided with a connecting card slot 11, and the inner wall of the connecting card slot 11 is provided with a jack. Through the setting of the connecting card slot 11 and the jack, the device is convenient for connecting to some high-precision high-frequency communication equipment. The jack is adapted to the probe in the plug of the high-precision high-frequency communication equipment. The user plugs the plug of the high-precision high-frequency communication equipment into the connecting plug 1 and rotates it, and plugs the probe into the jack to complete the fixation between the connector and the communication equipment, which is convenient for the user to install and disassemble the connector.

[0029] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The connecting plug 1 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting terminal 6. The connecting terminal 6, transmission slide 7, metal bellows 2, rubber filling pad 3 and communication transmission line 4 involved in this application are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0030] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The interior of the connecting terminal 6 is slidably connected to the transmission slide 7, and the interiors of the connecting plug 1 and the connecting terminal 6 are respectively provided with sliding grooves that are compatible with the transmission slide 7, the transmission pin 8 and the transmission slide rod 901, so that they can perform normal sliding movement.

[0031] A group of transmission pins 8 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission slide 7. Each transmission pin 8 passes through the connecting terminal 6 and is slidably connected to the connecting terminal 6. When the connector is connected to the communication device, the transmission pin 8 will be plugged into the socket of the communication device, thereby facilitating the exchange of current and signals between the communication devices.

[0032] See also Figure 4 A return spring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission slide 7. The end of the return spring 10 away from the transmission slide 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting terminal 6. The elastic potential energy of the return spring 10 is sufficient to push the transmission pin 8 to normally contact the communication device. When the communication device is plugged into the connector, if the transmission pin 8 is misaligned with the socket on the communication device, the transmission pin 8 will push the transmission slide 7 under the pressure of the device to compress the return spring 10 and slide inside the connecting terminal 6.

[0033] Each connecting plug 1 is internally provided with a transmission mechanism 9 that serves to prevent misalignment. The transmission mechanism 9 includes a transmission slide 901 and a card plate 902. The card plate 902 is hinged to the connecting plug 1. The setting of the transmission mechanism 9 can prevent the transmission pin 8 from being misaligned with the socket in the communication device during insertion, thereby preventing the transmission pin 8 from being damaged. This has the effect of protecting the transmission pin 8 and extending the service life of the device.

[0034] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transmission slide 901 passes through the connecting terminal 6 and is slidably connected to the connecting terminal 6. The transmission slide 901 is slidably connected to the connecting plug 1. The transmission slide 901 is fixedly connected to the transmission slide plate 7. The transmission slide 901 has a certain angle. When the transmission pin 8 is misaligned, the sliding of the transmission slide plate 7 can drive the transmission slide 901 to slide inside the slide groove. The sliding of the transmission slide 901 can drive the card plate 902 to be supported from the surface of the connecting plug 1, thereby blocking the connection between the communication equipment and the connector, preventing the transmission pin 8 from being damaged by misaligned plugging.

[0035] A transmission hinge plate 903 is provided between the transmission slide bar 901 and the card plate 902. The plug of the communication equipment generally has a limit slot, the purpose of which is to allow the device to be correctly connected when plugged into the connector. The space of the limit slot is large and will not hinder the rotation of the device. The connecting card slot 11 and the card plate 902 are adapted to the limit slot. When the device is correctly plugged into the connecting plug 1, the card plate 902 will slide into the limit slot. When the device and the connecting plug 1 are misaligned, the transmission pin 8 will be squeezed and the card plate 902 will be supported, so that the card plate 902 blocks the limit slot to prevent the device from being further inserted and damaging the transmission pin 8.

[0036] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer surfaces of the transmission slide 901 and the card plate 902 are fixedly connected with a hinged fixing block 904, and the two ends of the transmission hinged plate 903 are hinged to the two hinged fixing blocks 904 through pins. When the transmission slide 901 slides under the drive of the transmission slide plate 7, the transmission slide 901 will pull the transmission hinged plate 903 through the hinged fixing block 904 on its surface. The transmission hinged plate 903 will be squeezed outward by the force to squeeze the card plate 902, so that the card plate 902 is supported on the outside of the connecting plug 1.

[0037] Please refer again Figure 1 and Figure 2 A metal bellows 2 is provided in the middle of the two connecting plugs 1. The metal bellows 2 is a flexible pressure-resistant pipe fitting that can be used to compensate for the displacement of the connection end of the equipment. It has many characteristics such as good flexibility, light weight, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and high and low temperature resistance. Through the setting of the metal bellows 2, it is convenient for the connector to bend the metal bellows 2 according to the docking angle when docking with the communication equipment to adjust the docking angle and improve the applicability of the device.

[0038] A rubber filling pad 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the metal bellows 2. The rubber filling pad 3 can deform along with the bending of the metal bellows 2 and can compact the communication transmission line 4. When the connector is bent, the communication transmission line 4 inside it will also bend along with it, making it easier to adjust the docking angle of the connector.

[0039] The rubber filling pad 3 is internally slidably connected to a communication transmission line 4, which is connected to the connecting terminal 6 in the middle of the two connecting plugs 1, serving to connect the two plugs and facilitate data transmission between communication devices. The communication transmission line 4 has good toughness and can bend along with the bending of the metal bellows 2, making it easy to adjust the docking angle of the connector.

[0040] Both ends of the metal bellows 2 are clamped with fixing rings 5, and the two fixing rings 5 ​​are fixedly connected to the two connecting plugs 1 respectively. Through the setting of the fixing rings 5, the metal bellows 2 and the two connecting plugs 1 can be fixed together, thereby realizing the connection function between the communication equipment. The fixing rings 5 ​​provide convenience for the installation and use of the metal bellows 2.

[0041] Working principle: When the user installs the connector on the communication equipment, he first aligns the connecting plug 1 with the plug of the communication equipment, then inserts the connecting plug 1 into the communication equipment, and judges whether the equipment and the transmission pin 8 are correctly docked based on the reaction of the card plate 902, and then rotates the connecting plug 1 to complete the connection between the connector and the communication equipment. If the docking angle between the communication equipment needs to be adjusted, the user only needs to hold the two connecting plugs 1 and gently bend the metal bellows 2 to a suitable docking angle. The bending of the metal bellows 2 will drive the internal rubber filling pad 3 and the communication transmission line 4 to bend, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the docking angle of the communication equipment and improving the flexibility of the device.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
