Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment technology, and specifically to a connector with a locking device. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, also known as plugs, are commonly used components in electronic and electrical equipment. Connectors typically consist of a male connector and a female connector. When the male and female connectors are plugged in, they can transmit signals or current. The mechanical and electrical properties of connectors directly affect the performance of electronic and electrical equipment. Currently, with existing connectors, the male connector is directly inserted into the female connector, lacking a locking mechanism. This means that the male and female connectors may separate during use, potentially causing a power outage in the electrical equipment. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a connector with a locking device includes:

[0034] The male connector 1 has a housing 11 and a button assembly 12 movable relative to the housing 11, the button assembly 12 including a snap-fit ​​121 located on one side;

[0035] The female connector 2 is detachably connected to the male connector 1. The surface is provided with a groove 211 for accommodating the buckle 121. The lower end of the groove 211 has a receiving groove 212. A limiting protrusion 213 is provided at the junction of the receiving groove 212 and the groove 211.

[0036] Box 3 is connected to the lower part of the female connector 2;

[0037] The button assembly 12 has a first state in which the buckle 121 extends into the groove 211 and the snap-fit ​​portion 1211 of the buckle 121 abuts against the limiting protrusion 213, and the buckle body 1212 of the buckle 121 is attached to the wall of the groove 211.

[0038] As one implementation method, such as Figure 4-8As shown, the housing 11 includes an upper housing 111 and a lower housing 112, which cooperate to form a mounting hole 113 for accommodating the button assembly 12. The button assembly 12 includes a button body 122 and a connecting portion 123 located behind the button body 122, with a snap fastener 121 located below the button body 122. The connecting portion 123 has a mounting groove 124 in the middle, and the lower housing 112 has a retaining rib 114. A spring is located between the mounting groove 124 and the retaining rib 114. A limiting protrusion 125 is provided on the outer side of the button body 122. Due to the spring force, the limiting protrusion 125 of the button assembly 12 fits and limits the button body 122 within the mounting hole 113.

[0039] In one embodiment, the housing 11 includes an upper housing 111 and a lower housing 112, which cooperate to form a mounting hole 113 for accommodating the button assembly 12.

[0040] As one implementation method, such as Figure 9-10 As shown, the female connector 2 includes a panel 21, a base 22, and a socket assembly 23 located between the panel 21 and the base 22. The panel 21 is provided with a surrounding groove 214, and the male connector 1 is provided with a surrounding rib 115 that matches the surrounding groove 214. The surrounding groove 214 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 215. One side of the surrounding groove 214 has a groove 211. The male connector 1 is provided with a corresponding pin 116 that matches the insertion hole 215. The cooperation between the surrounding groove 214 and the surrounding rib 115 prevents the user's hand from contacting the pin 116.

[0041] As a preferred method, such as Figure 10 As shown, a positioning groove 216 is provided on the inner wall of the surrounding groove 214, and a positioning post 117 matching the positioning groove 216 is provided on the surrounding rib 115. The cooperation between the positioning groove 216 and the positioning post 117 prevents the male head 1 and the female seat 2 from being installed backwards.

[0042] In use, press the button assembly 12 of the male connector 1 by hand, and at the same time insert the pin 116 of the male connector 1 into the socket 215 of the female connector 2. At this time, the reinforcing rib 115 on the front of the male connector 1 is inserted into the groove 214 of the panel 21 until the male connector 1 and the front of the panel 21 of the female connector 2 are in contact. During the process of inserting the male connector 1 into the female connector 2, the buckle 121 of the button assembly 12 passes through the groove 211 of the panel 21, and the force of pressing the button assembly 12 is released. The button assembly 12 is reset under the rebound force of the spring, so that the buckle 121 is locked into the receiving groove 212. The buckle 121 engages with the limiting protrusion 213 to limit the position, thereby locking the male connector 1 and the female connector 2.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the scope of the claims. Any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should also be considered as protection within the scope of this utility model.
