Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic shell fixture technology, and in particular to a locking plug-in type plastic shell and its unlocking fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of connecting cables, a large portion of the cables require plastic shells around the wire harness terminals to protect the terminals and improve the ease of connection with other electrical appliances. These plastic shells include one-piece shells and shells assembled from multiple components. For multi-component shells, locking mechanisms are typically used to secure the components together. However, during supply, for quality or sales considerations, there are sometimes requests to supply the shells with the locking mechanisms open. But the shells have already been assembled on the production line. Disassembling them requires tools to pry open the locking mechanisms, such as a flathead screwdriver. Improper use of such tools can easily damage the shells, affecting product integrity, and is also inefficient and time-consuming.

[0003] Therefore, considering the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution. Utility Model Content

[0008] An unlocking fixture for a snap-fit ​​plastic shell includes a fixture body with a placement groove adapted to the shape of the snap-fit ​​plastic shell. The placement groove has a plurality of positioning posts adapted to the position and size of positioning holes. An unlocking mechanism is also installed in the placement groove, and the position of the unlocking mechanism is adapted to the position of a through hole on the first plastic shell.

[0009] Preferably, the unlocking mechanism includes a sliding groove formed in the placement groove and an unlocking part slidably installed in the sliding groove. The unlocking parts are a pair, and the cross-sections of the two unlocking parts are symmetrically arranged along the center of the sliding groove and can be paired to form a ring.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A snap-fit ​​type plastic shell includes a first plastic shell 1 and a second plastic shell 2 that are snapped together and locked. The first plastic shell has a through hole. The second plastic shell has multiple snap-fit ​​mechanisms 21 arranged around the through hole. Multiple thin plates extending horizontally and towards the axis of the through hole are integrally connected to the second plastic shell. The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes multiple sheet-shaped main bodies evenly arranged around the through hole. The ends of the thin plates are integrally connected to the middle of the main body of the snap-fit ​​mechanism, and the main body of the snap-fit ​​mechanism is elastic to allow it to swing around the ends of the thin plates. The two ends of the main body of the snap-fit ​​mechanism are respectively fixedly connected to a snap-fit ​​part 211 and an elastic part 212. The snap-fit ​​part and the elastic part can rotate in opposite directions around the intersection of the thin plate and the main body of the snap-fit ​​mechanism. When the first plastic shell and the second plastic shell are snapped together, the elastic part is located inside the first plastic shell in the normal state, and the snap-fit ​​part is located extending out of the first plastic shell from the through hole, and the outer edge size of the snap-fit ​​part is larger than the diameter of the through hole.

[0026] The bottom surface of the first plastic shell 1 is also uniformly provided with a plurality of positioning holes 11; the side of the elastic part 212 near the axis of the through hole is inclined, and the diameter of the column formed by each elastic part around the axis of the through hole gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0027] An unlocking fixture for a snap-fit ​​plastic shell includes a fixture body 3, on which a placement groove 31 is provided. The placement groove is adapted to the shape of the snap-fit ​​plastic shell. A plurality of positioning posts 33 are provided in the placement groove. The positions and sizes of the positioning posts are adapted to the positioning holes. An unlocking mechanism 32 is also installed in the placement groove. The position of the unlocking mechanism is adapted to the position of the through hole on the first plastic shell.

[0028] The unlocking mechanism 32 includes a sliding groove 321 formed in the placement groove 31 and an unlocking part 322 slidably installed in the sliding groove. The unlocking part 322 is a pair, and the cross-section of the two unlocking parts is symmetrically arranged along the center of the sliding groove and can be paired to form a ring. The outer side wall of each unlocking part is inclined to match the elastic part 212.

[0029] A pair of sliders 323 are slidably installed in the sliding groove 321, and two unlocking parts 322 are fixedly connected to the two sliders respectively and slide along the sliding groove through the sliders.

[0030] A return spring 325 is also installed in the sliding groove, and the two ends of the return spring are respectively connected and fixed to the two sliders.

[0031] The sliding groove is also provided with a baffle 324, which is located between the two sliders and has a clearance hole in the center that is adapted to the return spring.

[0032] In this embodiment, the locking plug-in type plastic shell and its unlocking fixture are used to unlock and disassemble the plastic shell. When the plastic shell needs to be unlocked and disassembled, the plastic shell is placed in the placement groove 31 of the unlocking fixture. The position of the plastic shell is positioned by the matching of the positioning pin 33 and the positioning hole 11. At this time, the unlocking part 322 is located within the through hole. After the plastic shell is pressed down, the inclined surface of the unlocking part contacts the inclined surface of the elastic part. As the depth of the plastic shell is increased, the unlocking part is gradually pressed and slides towards the center of the sliding groove 321 until it is limited by the baffle. The unlocking part remains stationary, and the plastic shell continues to be pressed down. At this time, the elastic part is rotated by the force, which drives the buckle part 211 to move into the through hole until it is completely separated from the first plastic shell. At this time, the first plastic shell and the second plastic shell can be separated.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by combining the plastic shell with the unlocking fixture, the plastic shell can be quickly unlocked and disassembled without causing scratches or damage to the surface of the plastic shell by the unlocking tool. While ensuring the quality of the plastic shell, it can efficiently install and disassemble the plastic shell, greatly improving the unlocking efficiency.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
