Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for keeping connecting components clamped or locked after engagement, specifically an electronic connector with an anti-loosening structure. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic connectors, also known as circuit connectors or electrical connectors, are conductor devices that bridge two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other. An electronic connector is a type of electrical system that provides a separable interface for connecting two secondary electronic systems. Simply put, a connector is a component used to complete electrical connections between circuits or electronic machines, i.e., a bridge between them.

[0003] During use, workers may accidentally kick or touch the wires of electronic connectors, causing the wires to be pulled. This, in turn, causes the plug to move synchronously, resulting in a loose connection between the plug and the connector slot. Consequently, the connection between the electronic connectors is interrupted, leading to poor performance, reduced lifespan, and hindering long-term use. Utility Model Content

This structure has the function of limiting and fixing the plug after it is installed, so that when the operator accidentally pulls the wire, the wire will not loosen the connection between the plug and the slot, thus ensuring the effectiveness of the electronic connector and avoiding any problems in its use.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electronic connector with an anti-loosening structure, comprising a connector body, a pin slot on the left side of the connector body, and a pin plug inserted into the pin slot;

[0008] A connecting block is fixedly connected to the left side of the pin plug. The connecting block is located on the left side of the connector body. A wire is fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting block. Two anti-disengagement mechanisms are provided on the connecting block. The two anti-disengagement mechanisms can prevent the connection between the pin slot and the pin plug from becoming loose. The two anti-disengagement mechanisms have the same connection structure and are arranged symmetrically front and back.

[0009] The anti-detachment mechanism includes a limit block, a sliding groove, a snap-fit ​​block, a connecting groove, a control port, a connecting plate, a control block, and a spring.

[0010] Preferably, a heat dissipation groove is provided on the upper side of the connector body, and two limiting grooves are provided on the left side of the connector body;

[0011] Two limiting grooves are respectively set on the front and rear sides of the pin slot, and a snap-fit ​​groove is opened on the side of the two limiting grooves that are far apart from each other.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting block is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting block, the limiting block is adapted to the limiting groove, and the sliding groove is formed inside the limiting block;

[0013] The front wall of the sliding groove extends to the front side of the limiting block, and the snap-fit ​​block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The snap-fit ​​block has a trapezoidal structure.

[0014] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​block is adapted to the snap-fit ​​groove, the connecting groove is opened inside the limiting block, and the connecting groove is located on the left side of the sliding groove;

[0015] The connecting groove and the sliding groove are internally connected, and the control port is located inside the limit block.

[0016] Preferably, the front wall of the control port extends out of the front side of the limiting block, and the rear wall of the control port extends into the interior of the connecting groove.

[0017] The connecting plate is slidably connected inside the connecting groove, and the right side of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the snap-fit ​​block. The control block is located in front of the limit block.

[0018] Preferably, the rear side of the control block extends slidably into the interior of the connecting groove through the control port, and the right side of the control block is fixedly connected to the connecting plate;

[0019] The spring is fixedly connected to the rear side of the control block, and the rear end of the spring is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the connecting groove.

[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0021] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an electronic connector with an anti-loosening structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) When installing the electronic connector with the anti-loosening structure, the connecting block will drive the two limiting blocks to move to the right, and then the two limiting blocks will move into the two limiting slots respectively. After transmission, the snap-fit ​​block will move into the snap-fit ​​slot. At this time, the snap-fit ​​block and the snap-fit ​​slot will match to form a snap-fit ​​state. During use, because of the snap-fit ​​state between the snap-fit ​​block and the snap-fit ​​slot, the limiting block, connecting block and pin plug will be limited and fixed, and the connection between the pin plug and the pin slot will not be loose. When the pin plug needs to be removed, the operator presses the two control blocks on the opposite side. After transmission, the snap-fit ​​state between the snap-fit ​​block and the snap-fit ​​slot is released, and then the pin plug can be removed by pulling to the left. In this way, the pin plug will be limited and fixed after installation, so that when the operator pulls the wire unintentionally, the wire will not cause the connection between the pin plug and the pin slot to loosen, thus ensuring the use effect of the electronic connector and avoiding trouble for the use of the electronic connector.

[0023] (2) The electronic connector with anti-loosening structure is fixedly connected to the rear side of the control block by a spring. The rear end of the spring is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the connecting groove. When the control block is pressed, the spring will bear the full pressing force and be compressed, ensuring that the control block will not tilt when it moves backward. At the same time, the movement between the right connecting plate and the locking block will not be affected by external force, thus ensuring that the movement between the connecting plate and the locking block will not tilt. This avoids the situation where the locking block tilts due to external force and cannot move completely into the sliding groove, thus ensuring the stability of the anti-loosening mechanism.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a new technical solution: an electronic connector with an anti-loosening structure, including a connector body 1, a heat dissipation groove 2 on the upper side of the connector body 1, a pin slot 3 on the left side of the connector body 1, a pin plug 4 inserted into the pin slot 3, a connecting block 5 fixedly connected to the left side of the pin plug 4, the connecting block 5 being located on the left side of the connector body 1, a wire 6 fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting block 5, two limiting grooves 7 on the left side of the connector body 1, the two limiting grooves 7 being located on the front and rear sides of the pin slot 3 respectively, and a snap-fit ​​groove 8 being provided on the side of the two limiting grooves 7 that are far apart from each other, and two anti-loosening mechanisms being provided on the connecting block 5, which can prevent the connection between the pin slot 3 and the pin plug 4 from loosening. The connection structure of the two anti-loosening mechanisms is the same and is arranged symmetrically front and back. The following description focuses on the front anti-loosening mechanism. The anti-loosening mechanism includes a limiting block 9, a sliding groove 10, a snap-fit ​​block 11, a connecting groove 12, a control port 13, a connecting plate 14, a control block 15, and a spring 16.

[0031] Furthermore, the limiting block 9 is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting block 5, and the limiting block 9 is adapted to the limiting groove 7. The sliding groove 10 is opened inside the limiting block 9, and the front wall of the sliding groove 10 extends out of the front side of the limiting block 9. The snap-fit ​​block 11 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 10. The snap-fit ​​block 11 has a trapezoidal structure and is adapted to the snap-fit ​​groove 8. The connecting groove 12 is opened inside the limiting block 9, and the connecting groove 12 is located on the left side of the sliding groove 10. The connecting groove 12 communicates with the interior of the sliding groove 10. The control port 13 is opened inside the limiting block 9 to control... The front wall of the control port 13 extends out to the front side of the limiting block 9. The rear wall of the control port 13 extends into the interior of the connecting groove 12. The connecting plate 14 is slidably connected to the interior of the connecting groove 12. The right side of the connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the left side of the snap-fit ​​block 11. The control block 15 is located on the front side of the limiting block 9. The rear side of the control block 15 extends slidably into the interior of the connecting groove 12 through the control port 13. The right side of the control block 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 14. The spring 16 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the control block 15. The rear end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the connecting groove 12.

[0032] When starting work, when connecting the connector body 1, the operator inserts the pin plug 4 into the pin slot 3, and then the connecting block 5 moves the two limiting blocks 9 to the right. The two limiting blocks 9 then move into the two limiting grooves 7 respectively. At the same time, the inclined surfaces of the two snap-fit ​​blocks 11 first contact the inner walls of the two limiting grooves 7, and then the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 are squeezed into the sliding groove 10. Then the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 drive the connecting plate 14 to move synchronously. The connecting plate 14 drives the control block 15 to move synchronously, and then the spring 16 begins to compress. After moving to the appropriate position, it stops. At this time, the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 move to the position of the snap-fit ​​groove 8, and then the spring 16 returns to the compressed state, pushing the control block 15 to return to the reset state. The control block 15 drives the connecting plate 14 to return to the reset state, and the connecting plate 14 drives the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 to return to the reset state. Then the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 move into the snap-fit ​​groove 8. At this time, the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 and the snap-fit ​​groove 8 are matched to form a snap-fit ​​state.

[0033] During use, if the wire 6 is accidentally touched, the locking block 11 and the locking slot 8 will lock the limiting block 9, the connecting block 5, and the pin plug 4 in place. This prevents the wire 6 from pulling the pin plug 4, thus preventing the connection between the pin plug 4 and the pin slot 3 from becoming loose. When the pin plug 4 needs to be removed, the operator presses the two control blocks 15 on opposite sides. The two control blocks 15 then move into the two connecting slots 12, compressing the spring 16. As can be seen from the above, after the control block 15 is transmitted, it will drive the snap-fit ​​block 11 to move into the sliding groove 10, thereby releasing the snap-fit ​​state between the snap-fit ​​block 11 and the snap-fit ​​groove 8. Then, pulling to the left will remove the pin plug 4. In this way, the pin plug 4 can be limited and fixed after installation, so that when the staff accidentally pulls the wire 6, the wire will not cause the connection between the pin plug 4 and the pin slot 3 to loosen, thus ensuring the use effect of the electronic connector and avoiding trouble for the use of the electronic connector.

[0034] Working principle: When starting work, when connecting the connector body 1, the operator inserts the pin plug 4 into the pin slot 3. Then, the connecting block 5 will drive the two limiting blocks 9 to move to the right, and the two limiting blocks 9 will move into the two limiting grooves 7 respectively. At the same time, the inclined surfaces of the two snap-fit ​​blocks 11 will first contact the inner walls of the two limiting grooves 7, and the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 will be squeezed into the sliding groove 10. Then, the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 will drive the connecting plate 14 to move synchronously. The connecting plate 14 will drive the control block 15 to move synchronously, and the spring 16 will start to be compressed. After moving to the appropriate position, it will stop. At this time, the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 will move to the position of the snap-fit ​​groove 8, and the spring 16 will return to the compressed state, pushing the control block 15 to return to the reset state. The control block 15 will drive the connecting plate 14 to return to the reset state, and the connecting plate 14 will drive the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 to return to the reset state. Then, the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 will move into the snap-fit ​​groove 8, and the snap-fit ​​blocks 11 and the snap-fit ​​groove 8 will be matched to form a snap-fit ​​state.

[0035] During use, if the wire 6 is accidentally touched, the limiting block 9, connecting block 5, and pin plug 4 will be fixed in place due to the engagement between the locking block 11 and the locking slot 8. Consequently, the wire 6 cannot pull the pin plug 4 to move, and the connection between the pin plug 4 and the pin slot 3 will not become loose. When the pin plug 4 needs to be removed, the operator presses the two control blocks 15 on opposite sides, and the two control blocks 15 will move into the two connecting slots 12 respectively. The spring 16 will be compressed, and as can be seen from the above, the control block 15 will drive the locking block 11 to move into the sliding slot 10 after transmission, and the engagement between the locking block 11 and the locking slot 8 will be released. Then, pulling to the left will remove the pin plug 4.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
