Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power line carrier technology, specifically, it relates to a power line carrier connector. Background Technology
[0002] Power line communication (PLC) is a communication method unique to power systems. It refers to the technology of transmitting analog or digital signals at high speed using existing power lines via carrier waves. Its biggest advantage is that it does not require the construction of a new network; data transmission can be carried out as long as there are power lines. When connecting power lines to equipment, power line connectors are often used for connection.
[0003] A document with publication number (CN219576013U) discloses a power line carrier connector, including a base and a top cover thereon. The connector further includes: a first latch disposed inside the base, having a through-hole first channel on its side; a second latch disposed inside the top cover, having a through-hole second channel on its side; wherein, after the top cover is placed on the base, the first channel and the second channel are at the same level; and a locking assembly disposed on the base for fixing the first latch and the second latch.
[0004] The aforementioned device controls the drive motor to drive the first wedge block to move along the first direction, and the first wedge block squeezes the second wedge block so that the second wedge block and the insert block can move along the second direction, so that the insert block can enter the first channel and the second channel, thereby locking the first latch and the second latch, greatly improving the installation efficiency of the connector and realizing the automatic disassembly of the connector housing.
[0005] The aforementioned device drives its internal components via a drive motor. However, the drive motor relies on electricity, making the device difficult to operate when power is interrupted. Furthermore, the circuitry within the power line carrier connector is complex, and the device places its components inside the connector, making it easy for the components and wiring to become entangled.
[0006] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0007] To solve the technical problem of components occupying circuit space, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A power line carrier connector includes a housing composed of two identical parts, with mounting positions at both ends and a cavity in the middle; and a self-locking assembly symmetrically disposed on the housing for quick installation and removal of the housing. The self-locking assembly includes a locking head and a locking body, with the locking body disposed at the corresponding end of the housing and the locking head symmetrically disposed on the locking body, the locking head abutting against the housing.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the self-locking assembly further includes a transmission rod, which is disposed on the lock body and abuts against the lock body. The lock head is fixedly connected to the transmission rod.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the transmission rod has multiple grooves arranged in an array in the middle, and a connecting rod is provided in the middle of the transmission rod, with the connecting rod being fixedly connected to the transmission rod.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lock body is provided with symmetrical sliding grooves, and ball bearings are provided in the sliding grooves, with the ball bearings elastically connected to the sliding grooves.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a spring is provided in the slide groove inside the lock body, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the slide groove inside the lock body, and the other end of the spring abuts against the ball.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the ball is slidably connected to the groove in the lock body, the ball abuts against the groove on the transmission rod, and the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the lock body.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lock head is provided with symmetrical oblique grooves, the shape of which conforms to ergonomics.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. The power line carrier connector has a cavity in the middle of the housing. By setting the self-locking components at both ends of the housing, it does not occupy the internal space of the housing, and avoids the components from getting entangled with the wiring inside the housing while achieving quick locking.
[0017] 2. In this power line carrier connector, when the transmission rod rotates, it pushes the ball to move inward. The ball compresses the spring, and the spring deforms under compression, generating an opposite force through deformation. When the ball aligns with the groove on the transmission rod, the spring applies force to the ball, and the ball abuts against the groove on the transmission rod, fixing the transmission rod. The locking head is also fixed along with the transmission rod, thereby quickly locking the housing.
[0018] 3. In this power line carrier connector, when it is necessary to unlock the housing, the connecting rod is rotated, which drives the transmission rod, which in turn drives the lock head to rotate and align with the corresponding installation position on the housing. At this time, the housing can be removed to quickly unlock it.
[0019] 4. In this power line carrier connector, when the connecting rod is damaged and cannot drive the transmission rod to rotate, the locking head is manually turned. The locking head drives the transmission rod to rotate and abuts the corresponding groove on the transmission rod against the ball, thereby quickly locking and unlocking the housing. Through multiple locking methods, the service life of the device is extended.
[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-5A power line carrier connector includes a housing 1, which is composed of two identical parts. Both ends of the housing 1 have mounting positions, and a cavity is formed in the middle of the housing 1. Self-locking components are symmetrically arranged on the housing 1. These components are used for quick installation and removal of the housing 1. The self-locking components include a locking head 2 and a locking body 21. The locking body 21 is located at the corresponding end of the housing 1. The locking heads 2 are symmetrically arranged on the locking bodies 21. The locking heads 2 abut against the housing 1. The cavity in the middle of the housing 1, by placing the self-locking components at both ends of the housing 1, does not occupy the internal space of the housing 1, and while achieving quick locking, avoids entanglement between components and the wiring inside the housing 1.
[0030] The self-locking assembly also includes a transmission rod 23. The transmission rod 23 is mounted on the lock body 21. The transmission rod 23 abuts against the lock body 21. The lock head 2 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 23. Multiple grooves are arranged in the middle of the transmission rod 23. A connecting rod 22 is arranged in the middle of the transmission rod 23. The connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 23. When the lock head 2 of the self-locking assembly is aligned with the corresponding position on the box body 1, the boxes 1 are locked together. When the connecting rod 22 is rotated, the transmission rod 23 is rotated. The rotation of the transmission rod 23 causes the lock head 2 to abut against the box body 1. The lock head 2 makes tight contact with the box body 1, thus fixing the boxes 1 together.
[0031] The lock body 21 has symmetrically arranged grooves containing ball bearings 25. The ball bearings 25 are elastically connected to the grooves. A spring 24 is installed in the grooves within the lock body 21. One end of the spring 24 is fixedly connected to the groove within the lock body 21, and the other end abuts against the ball bearings 25. The ball bearings 25 are slidably connected to the groove within the lock body 21. The ball bearings 25 abut against the groove on the transmission rod 23. The transmission rod 23 is rotatably connected to the lock body 21. When the transmission rod 23 rotates, it pushes the ball bearings 25 to move inward, compressing the spring 24. The spring 24 is compressed and deforms. The spring 24 applies force to the ball 25 when the ball 25 aligns with the groove on the transmission rod 23. The ball 25 abuts against the groove on the transmission rod 23 to fix the transmission rod 23. The locking head 2 is fixed along with the transmission rod 23, thus quickly locking the box 1. When it is necessary to unlock the box 1, rotate the connecting rod 22 to actuate the transmission rod 23. The transmission rod 23 drives the locking head 2 to rotate and align with the corresponding installation position on the box 1. At this time, the box 1 can be removed to quickly unlock the box 1.
[0032] The lock head 2 has symmetrically cut grooves, which conforms to ergonomic design. When the connecting rod 22 is damaged and cannot drive the transmission rod 23 to rotate, the lock head 2 is manually turned to drive the transmission rod 23 to rotate and make the corresponding groove on the transmission rod 23 abut against the ball 25, thereby quickly locking and unlocking the box 1. The device's service life is extended through multiple locking methods.
[0033] Working principle: Manually align the lock head 2 of the self-locking assembly with the corresponding position on the box 1, thus locking the boxes 1 together. Manually rotating the connecting rod 22 drives the transmission rod 23 to rotate, causing the lock head 2 to abut against the box 1. The lock head 2 provides tight contact with the box 1, securing it. A cavity is provided in the middle of the box 1. By placing the self-locking assembly at both ends of the box 1, it does not occupy internal space, achieving rapid locking while preventing entanglement between the components and internal wiring. When the transmission rod 23 rotates, it pushes the ball bearing 25 inward, compressing the spring 24. The spring 24 deforms under compression, generating an opposing force. When the ball bearing 25 aligns with the groove on the transmission rod 23... The spring 24 applies force to the ball bearing 25, which abuts against the groove on the transmission rod 23 to fix the transmission rod 23. The locking head 2 is fixed along with the transmission rod 23, thus quickly locking the box 1. When it is necessary to unlock the box 1, rotate the connecting rod 22 to actuate the transmission rod 23. The transmission rod 23 drives the locking head 2 to rotate and align with the corresponding installation position on the box 1. At this time, the box 1 can be removed to quickly unlock the box 1. If the connecting rod 22 is damaged and cannot drive the transmission rod 23 to rotate, manually rotate the locking head 2 to drive the transmission rod 23 to rotate and abut against the corresponding groove on the transmission rod 23 and the ball bearing 25, thus quickly locking and unlocking the box 1. The device's service life is extended through multiple locking methods.
