DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] See Figure 1-2 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this embodiment is: a quick-connect connector, which includes a connector base 1, a connector plug 2, and a snap-fit mechanism 3. After the connector base 1 and the connector plug 2 are connected, they are fixed together by the snap-fit mechanism 3. The quick-connect design makes plugging and unplugging operations easier and improves connection efficiency, making it suitable for occasions where frequent connection and disconnection are required.
[0018] The connector plug 2 is provided with a plug connector 21 at its end. It also includes an outer ferrule 22 that fits over the outer ferrule 11. A receiving groove 23 is provided between the outer ferrule 22 and the plug connector 21. The design of the receiving groove 23 ensures precise docking between the outer ferrule 22 and the plug connector 21, reducing connection problems caused by misalignment. The guiding effect of the receiving groove 23 allows users to quickly and accurately connect the connector, reducing operation time and complexity. The design of the receiving groove 23 effectively prevents misinsertion of the plug, ensuring a correct and secure connection. The bottom of the receiving groove 23 is padded with a second sealing gasket 24 that aligns with the inner ferrule 11. This second sealing gasket 24 effectively blocks the intrusion of moisture and dust, improving the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the connection and extending the service life of the connector. The sealing gasket absorbs vibration and shock, further reducing the impact of the external environment on the connector and enhancing its seismic performance. The plug connector 21 is internally provided with a number of pinholes 25 corresponding to the connecting pins 14.
[0019] The connector base 1 is equipped with an inner ferrule 11 that mates with the connector plug 2. The end face of the inner ferrule 11 that connects to the connector is also equipped with a waterproof sleeve 12 that fits over the outer ferrule 11. The design of the waterproof sleeve 12 effectively prevents moisture and dust from entering the connection area, enhancing the connection's protection and adapting to various harsh environments. A snap-fit mechanism 3 is provided between the inner ferrule 11 and the outer ferrule 22. This mechanism ensures a secure connection and prevents loosening or falling off during use. The waterproof sleeve 12 and the outer ferrule 22 have the same specifications. When the connector base 1 and connector plug 2 are connected, the adjacent ends of the waterproof sleeve 12 and the outer ferrule 22 are aligned. A first sealing gasket 13 is provided on the end where the waterproof sleeve 12 connects to the outer ferrule 22. The connection between the waterproof sleeve 12 and the outer ferrule 22 forms a sealed chamber, reducing the frequency of failures caused by environmental factors and thus reducing maintenance and replacement costs. The first sealing gasket 13 is provided at the connection to provide a good sealing effect, preventing moisture and impurities from entering, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the connector. A plurality of connecting pins 14 are provided at the bottom of the inner ferrule 11.
[0020] The clamping mechanism 3 includes a fixed cylinder 31 vertically arranged on the waterproof sleeve 12, a hinge shaft 32 vertically arranged on the outer sleeve 22 and corresponding to the fixed cylinder 31, a connecting plate 33 movably mounted on the hinge shaft 32, and a torsion spring 34 located between the connecting plate 33 and the outer sleeve 22. The two ends of the torsion spring 34 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 33 and the outer sleeve 22. The outer side of the connecting plate 33 is provided with a notch 331 adapted to the fixed cylinder 31. The design of the hinge shaft 32 and the movable connecting plate 33 makes the connector very flexible when connecting and disconnecting, and is easy to operate. The provision of the torsion spring 34 can provide an additional self-locking mechanism, so that the connecting plate 33 can remain stable when connected to prevent accidental loosening. Through the adaptation of the notch 331 to the fixed cylinder 31, the user can perform plugging and unplugging operations more intuitively, simplifying the use steps.
[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Connector plug 2 is inserted into connector housing 1, plug connector 21 enters the insertion slot, and outer ferrule 22 is fitted onto inner ferrule 11. Then, connecting plate 33 is rotated to compress torsion spring 34, causing connecting plate 33 to move. Connector plug 2 is then pushed further until plug connector 21 reaches the bottom of the insertion slot, where the end of plug connector 21 presses against the sealing gasket, and the end face of outer ferrule 22 engages the mounting plate. Finally, connecting plate 33 is released to reset it. After the connecting plate 33 is reset, the fixing cylinder 31 engages the notch 331 on the connecting plate 33, completing the connection between connector housing 1 and connector plug 2.
[0022] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
