Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a connector bracket and a connector combination. Background Art

[0002] As electronic devices become increasingly integrated, cable connectors, a crucial bridge for signal and power transmission between devices, have a significant impact on the overall system's stability. While existing cable connector designs, particularly those that rely on a combination of a clevis and a crimping mechanism to hold the cable in place, have met basic connection requirements to a certain extent, they have also exposed significant issues over time.

[0003] In traditional design, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cable connector includes a wire-end connector and a board-end connector. The wire-end connector is equipped with a wire-crushing portion to hold the wire in place. The board-end connector is used to connect the wire-end connector to the control board. Clevis clips are located on both sides of the board-end connector. Their unique shape mechanically secures the wire beneath the wire-crushing portion, ensuring good contact between the wire and connector while also connecting the board-end connector and the wire-end connector. However, over time and due to external environmental factors (such as temperature fluctuations and vibration), the clamp material may deform due to fatigue and aging, resulting in a gradual weakening of its original fastening ability. Over time, the clamps can no longer effectively hold the wire-crushing portion, resulting in insufficient compression of the wire. Loose wires not only affect stable signal transmission but can also cause problems such as increased resistance and signal attenuation due to poor contact. In severe cases, they can even cause short circuits or open circuits, threatening the normal operation of the entire system.

[0004] Therefore, how to prevent the loosening of the wire connector caused by the deformation of the claw buckle has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to prevent the loosening of the wire connector due to deformation of the cleat buckle, the present application provides a connector bracket and connector combination, which can straighten the cleat buckle, press the wire, and ensure the normal use of the wire connector.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a connector bracket, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A connector bracket is used in conjunction with a wire connector and is clamped on the periphery of the wire connector. The wire connector includes a board-end connector, and a horn buckle is installed on both sides of the upper end of the board-end connector. The connector bracket includes two integrally formed anti-foolproof structures, a connecting part and a clamping part. The two anti-foolproof structures are symmetrically arranged with each other. The connecting part is connected between the two anti-foolproof structures. The clamping part is connected to the connecting part and is in the same plane as the connecting part; when the connector bracket and the wire connector are in a clamping state, the two anti-foolproof structures are respectively abutted against the left and right ends of the board-end connector and are in a semi-enclosed state with the horn buckle.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the two fool-proof structures abut against the two ends of the wire connector, so that the wire connector is kept in a state of pressing the wires to prevent the wires from loosening. The connection part prevents the fool-proof structure from being deformed and losing its function. The connector bracket and the wire connector are clamped together by the clamping part to prevent the connector bracket from loosening from the wire connector, thereby ensuring the normal use of the wire connector.

[0009] Preferably, each foolproof structure includes a foolproof upper portion and a foolproof lower portion, the foolproof upper portion is provided with a first inclined surface, the foolproof lower portion is provided with a second inclined surface, and the junction between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface is a transition surface;

[0010] When the connector bracket and the wire connector are in a locked state, the two first inclined surfaces respectively conflict with one side of the two horn buckles, and the two second inclined surfaces conflict with the left and right sides of the board end connector.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-fouling structure is provided with an inclined surface, which not only conforms to the shape of the wire connector but also facilitates the insertion of the wire connector into the connector bracket. The first inclined surface contacts the clevis, which can straighten the clevis, further ensuring the stability of the clevis engagement and preventing the wire from loosening.

[0012] Preferably, each of the fool-proof upper parts further includes a first side wall and a second side wall, the first side wall and the second side wall are respectively connected to the two ends of the first inclined surface, and the fool-proof upper part is gap-fitted with the horn buckle.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the clevis buckle is fixed by the first side wall and the second side wall to prevent the clevis buckle from tilting to both sides. At the same time, the force on both sides of the first side wall and the second side wall can help the connector bracket to be stably engaged on the outside of the wire connector.

[0014] Preferably, there is a protruding limiting plane at the connection between the board-end connector and the horn buckle, and when the connector bracket and the wire connector are in a snap-fit ​​state, the lower ends of the first side wall and the second side wall are in contact with the limiting plane.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the connector bracket being connected to the wire connector is limited by the limiting plane, preventing the connector from being not connected in place or being connected too far, so that each part cannot play the role of straightening the wire connector.

[0016] Preferably, both ends of the connecting portion are respectively connected to one end of the two second inclined surfaces, and the connecting portion is located on the same side as the first side wall but not in the same plane as the first side wall.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection part is set to fix the two anti-fool structures on both sides together, ensuring the straightening effect of the wire connector through a fixed distance, while also avoiding the deformation of the anti-fool structure caused by long-term use and the inability to restrict the wire connector.

[0018] Preferably, one end of the clamping portion is integrally connected to the connecting portion, and the other end of the clamping portion is connected to a clamping foot for clamping with the board-end connector, and the board-end connector is provided with a protruding first clamping bevel on the side facing the connecting portion, and the clamping foot is provided with a protruding second clamping bevel on the side facing the board-end connector.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a second clamping bevel is provided to match the first clamping bevel on the board-end connector. The two clamping bevels interact with each other to firmly fix the connector bracket on the connector, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0020] Preferably, there are two clamping feet, which respectively match the two first clamping bevels on the board-end connector; when the connector bracket is clamped on the outside of the wire connector, the first clamping bevel and the second clamping bevel can tightly contact each other under the action of external force.

[0021] Preferably, a disassembly handle for pulling the clamping foot toward the outside is provided on the side of the clamping foot facing the outside.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, a disassembly handle is provided to facilitate the disassembly of the connector bracket.

[0023] In a second aspect, the present application provides a connector assembly, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0024] A connector combination includes a wire connector and a connector bracket fixed to the outside of the wire connector, the wire connector includes a board-end connector and a wire-end connector embedded in the board-end connector, the board-end connector is engaged with the wire-end connector through a clevis; the connector bracket includes two anti-foolproof structures abutting against the two ends of the wire connector, a connecting part connecting the two anti-foolproof structures, and a clamping part clamped to the wire connector.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, through the mutual cooperation between the connector bracket and the wire connector, the connector bracket can wrap and fix the wire connector, so that it remains in a state of pressing the wire, preventing it from loosening, and ensuring the normal use of the wire connector.

[0026] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. This application uses two anti-foolproof structures to abut against the clevises at both ends of the wire connector, and fixes the distance between the two symmetrical anti-foolproof structures through the connecting part, so that the first inclined surface of the anti-foolproof structure applies force to the clevis, straightens the clevis, and keeps the clevis in a compressed state, so that the wire connector can compress the wire, thereby ensuring the normal use of the wire connector.

[0028] 2. When the present application is engaged with the wire connector, it can also detect the status of the wire connector and whether the horn buckle is loose. Even if it is loose, it can be directly engaged and straightened, saving resources. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] A connector bracket provided in this embodiment is used in conjunction with a wire connector and is snapped onto the periphery of the wire connector, which can straighten and prevent the wire connector from being misaligned. In this embodiment, the connector bracket of this embodiment will be specifically described in conjunction with the wire connector.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, the wire connector used in conjunction with the connector bracket includes a wire end connector 7 and a board end connector 1, and the wire end connector 7 is embedded in the board end connector 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The figure shows a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the wire end connector 7 (including wires), and the wire end connector 7 is provided with a wire pressing portion 71.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower end of the board-end connector 1 is connected to the control board 8 , and a clevis buckle 2 is installed on both sides of the upper end of the board-end connector 1 , and the two clevis buckles 2 are engaged with the wire pressing part 71 .

[0045] The engagement of the two allows the horn buckle to press the wire pressing portion 71 tightly, thereby causing the wire pressing portion 71 to press the wire in the wire end connector 7 tightly, ensuring normal use of the wire connector.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, a connector bracket includes two integrally formed anti-fool structures 3, a connecting part 4 and a clamping part 5. The two anti-fool structures 3 are symmetrically arranged with each other. When the connector bracket and the wire connector are in a clamping state, the two anti-fool structures 3 are respectively abutted against the left and right ends of the board-end connector 1 and are in a semi-enclosed state with the horn buckle 2.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, each foolproof structure 3 includes a foolproof upper portion 31 and a foolproof lower portion 32, the foolproof upper portion 31 is provided with a first inclined surface 311, and the foolproof lower portion 32 is provided with a second inclined surface 321, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the junction between the first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 321 is a transition surface 33;

[0048] In this embodiment, the two first inclined surfaces 311 are arranged opposite to each other, the two second inclined surfaces 321 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two claw buckles 2 on the wire end connector 7 are arranged symmetrically.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the connector bracket and the wire connector are in the engaged state, the two first inclined surfaces 311 respectively conflict with one side of the two claw buckles 2, and the two second inclined surfaces 321 conflict with the left and right sides of the board end connector 1.

[0050] In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the first inclined surface 311 is the same as the external inclination angle of the claw clasp 2 in normal use, when not deformed. This ensures that the first inclined surface 311 constrains the claw clasp 2 to the angle of normal use. When the claw clasp 2 is not deformed, it can remain in its normal state and will not become loose. When the claw clasp 2 is deformed, this can be detected during insertion into the connector bracket, and the claw clasp 2 can be straightened during insertion to restore it to its normal engaged state. Therefore, regardless of whether the claw clasp 2 is deformed or not, the connector bracket can ensure its normal use.

[0051] The inclination angle of the second inclined surface 321 is the same as the inclination angle of the outside of the board-end connector 1, so that when the wire connector is inserted into the connector bracket, it can be completely fitted with the bracket, and when the connector bracket is inserted from top to bottom into the outside of the wire connector, it can play a guiding and anti-mistake role, and can be inserted smoothly in one go.

[0052] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each anti-foolproof upper part 31 also includes a first side wall 312 and a second side wall 313, and the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first inclined surface 311. When the connector bracket and the wire connector are in a locked state, the gap between the anti-foolproof upper part 31 and the horn buckle 2 is matched.

[0053] That is, the space formed between the first side wall 312 , the second side wall 313 and the first inclined surface 311 is clearance-matched with the claw buckle 2 , thereby facilitating the insertion of the claw buckle 2 and limiting the posture of the claw buckle 2 .

[0054] At the same time, the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313 can limit the movement of the claw buckle 2 to ensure that the wire connector is stably fixed inside the connector bracket.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, there is a protruding limiting plane 6 at the connection between the board end connector 1 and the horn buckle 2. When the connector bracket and the wire connector are in the engaged state, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the lower ends of the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313 are both in contact with the limiting plane 6 .

[0056] This protruding limiting plane 6 is on the same horizontal plane as the above-mentioned transition surface 33. The two serve to limit the connector bracket, so that the connector bracket can stay in a fixed position when inserted downward into the wire connector, ensuring the straightening effect of the wire connector.

[0057] like Figure 5As shown, the connecting portion 4 is integrally connected between the two fool-proof structures 3 , and the two ends of the connecting portion 4 are respectively connected to one end of the two second inclined surfaces 321 . The connecting portion 4 is located on the same side as the first side wall 312 but is not in the same plane as the first side wall 312 .

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, the clamping portion 5 is connected to the connecting portion 4 and is in the same plane as the connecting portion 4 .

[0059] Specifically, one end of the clamping portion 5 is integrally connected to the connecting portion 4 , and the other end of the clamping portion 5 is connected to a clamping pin 51 for clamping with the board-end connector.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the board-end connector 1 is provided with a protruding first engaging inclined surface 101 on one side facing the connecting portion 4. Figure 6 As shown, a protruding second engaging inclined surface 511 is provided on the side of the engaging foot 51 facing the board-end connector 1 .

[0061] In this embodiment, there are two clamping pins 51, which are symmetrically arranged on the connecting portion 4. Similarly, there are two first clamping bevels 101 on the board-end connector 1. The second clamping bevels 511 on the two clamping pins 51 respectively match the two first clamping bevels 101 on the board-end connector 1.

[0062] When the connector bracket is inserted into the periphery of the wire connector from top to bottom and the connector bracket is locked on the outside of the wire connector, the second locking bevel 511 is exactly opposite to the position of the first locking bevel 101. The second locking bevel 511 is pressed toward the direction of the first locking bevel 101. Under the action of external force, the first locking bevel 101 and the second locking bevel 511 can tightly contact each other to achieve locking, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the connector bracket and the wire connector.

[0063] like Figure 7 and 8 As shown, a disassembly handle 512 for pulling the clamping pin 51 toward the outside is provided on the side of the clamping pin 51 facing outward. Pulling the disassembly handle 512 in the opposite direction of the clamping can separate the first clamping bevel 101 and the second clamping bevel 511, making it convenient to remove the connector bracket from the wire connector.

[0064] Example 2:

[0065] A connector combination provided in this embodiment is different from the above-mentioned embodiment 1 in that it also includes a wire connector used in conjunction with a connector bracket. The connector bracket is fixed to the outside of the wire connector. The wire connector includes a board-end connector 1 and a wire-end connector 7 embedded in the inside of the board-end connector 1. The board-end connector 1 is engaged with the wire-end connecting part 4 through a clevis 2; the connector bracket includes two anti-fool structures 3 that abut against the two ends of the wire connector, a connecting part 4 connecting the two anti-fool structures 3, and a clamping part 5 that is clamped to the wire connector.

[0066] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: when the connector bracket is vertically inserted into the wire connector from top to bottom, the second bevel 321 and the first bevel 311 of the anti-fool structure 3 sequentially pass over the two ends of the wire connector, and when the limiting planes 6 at both ends of the wire connector conflict with the lower ends of the first side walls 312 and the second side walls 313 of the anti-fool structure 3 at both ends of the wire connector, the connector bracket and the wire connector are snapped into place. At this time, the two first bevels 311 are in close contact with one side of the two horn buckles 2, and the two second bevels 321 are in close contact with both ends of the board end connector 1; at this time, the horn buckle 2 is straightened and fixed by the two anti-fool structures 3 of the connector bracket to ensure that the horn buckle 2 is tightly engaged with the wire pressing part 71.

[0067] After insertion is complete, press the locking pin 51 toward the wire connector so that the second locking bevel 511 on the locking pin 51 is locked with the first locking bevel 101 on the board-end connector 1, and the connector bracket is completely fixed on the wire connector; when the connector bracket needs to be removed from the wire connector, pull the disassembly handle 512 on the locking pin 51 in the opposite direction of the wire connector to separate the first locking bevel 101 and the second locking bevel 511, and the connector bracket can be removed from bottom to top.

[0068] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. For example, different materials or features can be selected according to actual needs to replace some or all of the technical features in the above embodiments; the technical features in the above embodiments can also be combined or split to form a new technical solution. In short, any simple modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement of the technical solution of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
