Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic connectors, in particular to an anti-loosening connector. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation systems require interconnecting multiple photovoltaic modules through cables to form a photovoltaic module array, which then outputs voltage to the outside. Photovoltaic connectors are essential components for interconnecting photovoltaic modules. Connectors are divided into male and female ends, with conductive terminals inside. The internal conductive terminals are generally divided into pins and sockets. The male and female ends of the connectors are connected, and cables are connected to both sides of the male and female ends. The inner end of the cable is connected to the conductive end of the pin or socket, and the pin and socket are electrically connected to each other. After the cable is inserted into the male and female ends, it is fixed with a nut at the end to prevent it from falling off. However, ordinary nut threaded connections are prone to loosening during actual use, affecting actual use.

[0003] CN220209440U applied for by the present applicant discloses a threaded anti-retraction structure of a connector. The utility model comprises: a connector body and a nut, the connector body is provided with a channel, one end of the connector body is provided with a threaded connection part, the inner side of the threaded connection part is provided with an anti-slip part, the inner side of the anti-slip part is provided with a clamping block, an avoidance groove is provided between the clamping block and the anti-slip part, and the tail end of the clamping block is arranged inside the avoidance groove, the interior of the nut is provided with a threaded groove matching the threaded connection part, the inner outer edge of the nut is provided with several groups of one-way clamping grooves connected in sequence, the one-way clamping groove includes a guide groove and a receiving groove, the guide groove is inclined clockwise outward, the bottom of the receiving groove is a right-angled part away from the guide groove, and the end of the clamping block is provided with a right-angled head matching the right-angled part, which effectively locks and ensures that the nut is fixed to the connector tail for a long time, thereby improving the reliability of long-term fixation of the assembly and reducing maintenance costs.

[0004] However, this structure has the following shortcomings in actual use: the anti-slip part and the corresponding clamping block can achieve anti-slip and anti-retraction, so the threaded connection cannot be removed after installation; the actual assembly process may cause assembly errors due to the assembly of multiple parts; the nut of the connector body cannot be removed after tightening, so the nut can only be removed by violent destruction, which increases the overall production cost.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, it is necessary to design an anti-loosening connector with a simple structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides an anti-loosening connector to solve the problems of the prior art.

[0007] The nut body has a plurality of one-way slots connected thereto, and the plurality of one-way slots are connected to the plurality of one-way slots. The plurality of one-way slots are connected to the plurality of one-way slots in a plurality of opposite directions. The plurality of one-way slots are connected to the plurality of one-way slots in a plurality of opposite directions. The plurality of one-way slots are connected to the plurality of one-way slots in a plurality of opposite directions.

[0008] As a further improvement, the tail end of the clamping block is connected to an annular support rib, and the annular support rib is fixed to the outer end surface of the anti-slip portion.

[0009] As a further improvement, the clamping blocks are arranged in two groups symmetrically about the center of the channel.

[0010] As a further improvement, two groups of annular support ribs are symmetrically arranged about the center of the channel.

[0011] As a further improvement, anti-slip grooves are arranged at intervals on the outside of the nut.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the anti-loosening connector of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] During normal assembly, the nut is tightened by turning clockwise. The guide groove can be used to rotate the block relative to the nut to the accommodating groove at different positions. The block is pushed by the nut and approaches the avoidance groove, allowing the nut to rotate relative to the block to achieve further tightening; the right-angled part of the accommodating groove is matched with the right-angled head at the end of the block, so that the nut cannot rotate counterclockwise relative to the block. After assembly with the nut, it can be effectively locked to ensure that the nut is stably fixed to the tail of the connector for a long time, improve the reliability of long-term fixation of the assembly, and reduce maintenance costs; when the nut can be stably fixed to the tail of the connector for a long time, it prevents loosening and retreat, and the connection is stable; when disassembly is required, remove the sealing ring, push the block inward through the pin, and then fix it in the avoidance groove, so that the block can be removed after being out of the slot, without violent destruction to remove the nut, reducing overall production costs.
