Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connectors, and more particularly to an electrical connector assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connector assemblies are the connecting bridges in electronic circuits and are essential core components for forming a complete electrical system. Electrical connector assemblies allow the transmission of electrical signals or power between circuit units without the need for permanent connections, which makes the design of electronic equipment more flexible and facilitates maintenance and upgrades.

[0003] In existing technologies, the connection cable to be connected is mainly installed by winding the inner wire of the cable to be connected around the connecting shaft of the electrical connector assembly and rotating the connecting shaft. However, existing electrical connector assemblies have certain limitations in use. Because the outside of the electrical connector assembly is usually open to facilitate the insertion of the cable, when the electrical connector assembly needs to be used outdoors, the inside of the connector is easily contaminated or damaged, which affects its electrical performance and service life. Moreover, in actual use, when the user pulls the cable, the connection between the inner wire of the cable and the connecting shaft is easily pulled, causing the connection to loosen and making it inconvenient to use. Therefore, an electrical connector assembly is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing electrical connector assemblies, which are typically open on the outside. When used outdoors, the inside of the connector is easily contaminated or damaged, affecting its electrical performance and service life. Furthermore, during actual use, when the user pulls the connecting wire, the connection between the inner wire and the connecting shaft is easily pulled, causing the connection to become loose and inconvenient to use. Therefore, this invention proposes an electrical connector assembly to solve the above problems.

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An electrical connector assembly, comprising:

[0007] An electrical connector body and a connecting wire are provided. The outer wall of the electrical connector body has slots, and multiple sets of slots have connecting shafts threaded into their inner walls. The inner wire of the connecting wire is wound around the outer wall of the connecting shaft. A protective component is provided on the electrical connector body, and this protective component includes:

[0008] The movable unit includes an upper movable plate and a lower movable plate. The electrical connector body has a movable slot inside. The upper movable plate is movably inserted into the movable slot, and the lower movable plate is movably inserted into the movable slot. A through-hole is provided between the upper and lower movable plates, and the connecting wire is movably inserted into the through-hole.

[0009] The positioning unit is located on the outer wall of the electrical connector body. The positioning unit is used to fix the position of the upper moving plate and the lower moving plate.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the movable groove is rotatably connected to a transmission gear via a pin, and the outer wall of the transmission gear is meshed with an upper rack. The upper rack is fixedly connected to the upper movable plate via a connecting rod, and the outer wall of the transmission gear is meshed with a lower rack, which is fixedly connected to the lower movable plate.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the electrical connector body has a circular hole, and the front end of the transmission gear extends forward through the circular hole in the outer wall of the electrical connector body and is fixedly connected to a rotating plate.

[0012] Preferably, the positioning unit includes a first positioning port and a fixing block. The first positioning port is opened on the outer wall of the rotating plate, and the fixing block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the electrical connector body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, by setting the connection relationship between the electrical connector assembly, the connecting wire, the upper moving plate, and the lower moving plate, the inner wire of the connecting wire is wound and fixed to the connecting shaft. By pushing the upper moving plate downward, the lower moving plate is moved upward, so that the bottom of the upper moving plate and the top of the lower moving plate are in contact. The silicone pad inside the through-hole wraps the outer wall of the connecting wire, reducing water leakage. This facilitates the sealing of the interface of the outer wall of the electrical connector body, preventing water from affecting the electrical connection. It also facilitates shielding and protection between the connecting wire and the electrical connector body, reducing the probability of line damage and improving safety. Furthermore, a positioning plate is set on the outer wall of the connecting wire. The radial width of the positioning plate is greater than the radial width of the two sets of through-holes, which facilitates fixing the position of the connecting wire and prevents the connection between the inner wire of the connecting wire and the connecting shaft from being pulled when the connecting wire is pulled, thus improving the stability of the connection.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, by setting the connection relationship between the rotating plate, the fixing block, and the positioning block, when the bottom of the upper moving plate and the top of the lower moving plate are attached together, the first positioning port is aligned with the positioning block, and the positioning block moves upward and inserts into and locks into the first positioning port, thereby fixing the rotating plate and fixing the usage position of the upper and lower moving plates, further improving the sealing performance. When the upper moving plate moves upward and the lower moving plate moves downward, the second positioning port is aligned with the positioning block, and the positioning block moves upward and inserts into and locks into the second positioning port, thereby fixing the usage position of the rotating plate, thus keeping the upper and lower moving plates in an open state, making it convenient for the user to pass through the electrical connector assembly housing to install the connecting wire into the slot.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0030] Example: This example provides an electrical connector assembly, see [link to example]. Figure 1-6 Specifically, including:

[0031] The electrical connector body 1 and the connecting wire 2 are provided. The outer wall of the electrical connector body 1 has slots 101, and multiple slots 101 have connecting shafts 102 threadedly connected to their inner walls. The inner wire of the connecting wire 2 is wound around the outer wall of the connecting shaft 102. In use, by winding the inner wire of the connecting wire 2 around the connecting shaft 102 and then rotating the connecting shaft 102, the connecting shaft 102 moves into the inner cavity of the slots 101, fixing the inner wire of the connecting wire 2 and ensuring tight contact between the inner wire of the connecting wire 2 and the terminal block. The electrical connector body 1 is provided with a protective component, which includes:

[0032] The movable unit includes an upper movable plate 3 and a lower movable plate 301. The electrical connector body 1 has a movable groove 103 inside. The upper movable plate 3 is movably inserted into the movable groove 103, and the lower movable plate 301 is movably inserted into the movable groove 103. A through-hole 302 is opened between the upper movable plate 3 and the lower movable plate 301. The connecting wire 2 is movably inserted into the through-hole 302. In use, after the connecting wire 2 is connected to the electrical connector body 1, the other end of the connecting wire 2 extends outward through the electrical connector body 1. At this time, the upper movable plate 3 moves downward and the lower movable plate 301 moves upward. At this time, the bottom of the upper movable plate 3 fits against the top of the lower movable plate 301, which facilitates the sealing of the interface on the outer wall of the electrical connector body 1. This helps to prevent water stains from affecting the electrical connection in the through-hole 302 and facilitates protection between the connecting wire 2 and the electrical connector body 1, thereby improving safety.

[0033] The positioning unit is disposed on the outer wall of the electrical connector body 1. The positioning unit is used to fix the position of the upper moving plate 3 and the lower moving plate 301.

[0034] The inner wall of the moving groove 103 is rotatably connected to a transmission gear 304 via a pin, and the outer wall of the transmission gear 304 is meshed with an upper rack 305. The upper rack 305 is fixedly connected to the upper moving plate 3 via a connecting rod 306, and the outer wall of the transmission gear 304 is meshed with a lower rack 307. The lower rack 307 is fixedly connected to the lower moving plate 301, which is used to connect the movement state of the upper rack 305 with the movement state of the lower rack 307, so that the movement state of the upper moving plate 3 is connected with the movement state of the lower moving plate 301, and the movement of the upper moving plate 3 drives the movement of the lower moving plate 301.

[0035] The outer wall of the electrical connector body 1 has a circular hole, and the front end of the transmission gear 304 extends forward through the circular hole in the outer wall of the electrical connector body 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 4, which is used to extend the action point of the transmission gear 304, so that the user can drive the transmission gear 304 to rotate by adjusting the rotating plate 4.

[0036] The positioning unit includes a first positioning port 401 and a fixing block 5. The first positioning port 401 is opened on the outer wall of the rotating plate 4. The fixing block 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the electrical connector body 1, and a positioning block 501 is movably inserted into the bottom of the fixing block 5. The top of the positioning block 501 is mated and locked into the first positioning port 401. When the upper moving plate 3 and the lower moving plate 301 are combined, the first positioning port 401 is aligned with the positioning block 501. The positioning block 501 moves upward, so that the positioning block 501 is inserted into and locked into the first positioning port 401, thereby fixing the rotating plate 4 and fixing the usage position of the upper moving plate 3 and the lower moving plate 301.

[0037] The fixed block 5 has a connecting groove 502 inside, and the outer wall of the positioning block 501 is fixedly provided with a push plate 503, which is movably engaged in the connecting groove 502, thereby limiting the movement range of the positioning block 501 and preventing the positioning block 501 from detaching from the fixed block 5.

[0038] A spring strip 504 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting groove 502, and the other end of the spring strip 504 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the push plate 503. The push plate 503 is pushed upward by the pushing force of the spring strip 504, so that the upwardly moving push plate 503 drives the positioning block 501 to move upward, so that the positioning block 501 maintains an upward position without adjustment, further improving the stability of the equipment during use.

[0039] The outer wall of the rotating plate 4 has a second positioning port 402. When in use, the upper moving plate 3 moves upward, causing the lower moving plate 301 to move downward. The second positioning port 402 is aligned with the positioning block 501. The positioning block 501 moves upward and inserts into the second positioning port 402, thus fixing the position of the rotating plate 4. This keeps the upper moving plate 3 and the lower moving plate 301 in an open state, making it convenient for the user to pass through the outer shell of the electrical connector body 1 to install the connecting wire 2 into the slot 101.

[0040] A silicone pad 303 is fixedly adhered to the inner wall of the through-hole 302. The silicone pad 303 has a certain elasticity, and the connecting line 2 is located between two sets of silicone pads 303. The two sets of silicone pads 303 are attached to the outer wall of the connecting line 2, which further improves the airtightness and prevents water stains from entering the groove 101 through the through-hole 302. A positioning plate 201 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting line 2. The radial width of the positioning plate 201 is greater than the radial width of the two sets of through-holes 302, which facilitates the fixation of the position of the connecting line 2 and prevents the connection between the inner wire of the connecting line 2 and the connecting shaft 102 from being pulled when the connecting line 2 is pulled, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0041] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of this utility model are as follows:

[0042] In use, the inner wire of connecting wire 2 is wound around connecting shaft 102, and then the connecting shaft 102 is rotated to move it into the inner cavity of slot 101, fixing the inner wire of connecting wire 2 and ensuring tight contact between the inner wire of connecting wire 2 and the terminal block. Furthermore, by pushing the upper moving plate 3 downwards, the downward-moving upper moving plate 3 drives the connecting rod 306 downwards, causing the downward-moving connecting rod 306 to drive the upper rack 305 downwards. This causes the outer wall of the upper rack 305 to press against and push the transmission gear 304, causing the transmission gear 304 to rotate. The rotating transmission gear 304 drives the lower rack 307 to move upward, which in turn drives the lower moving plate 301 to move upward, so that the bottom of the upper moving plate 301 fits against the top of the lower moving plate 301. The silicone pad 303 in the through hole 302 wraps the outer wall of the connecting wire 2, reducing water leakage. This facilitates sealing of the interface on the outer wall of the electrical connector body 1, preventing water from entering the through hole 302 and affecting the electrical connection. It also provides protection between the connecting wire 2 and the electrical connector body 1, improving safety.

[0043] When the bottom of the upper moving plate 3 is attached to the top of the lower moving plate 301, the first positioning port 401 is aligned with the positioning block 501. The push plate 503 is pushed upward by the pushing force of the spring strip 504, causing the upward-moving push plate 503 to drive the positioning block 501 to move upward, so that the positioning block 501 is inserted into and locked in the first positioning port 401, thereby fixing the rotating plate 4 and fixing the usage position of the upper moving plate 3 and the lower moving plate 301. When the upper moving plate 3 moves upward, causing the lower moving plate 301 to move downward, the second positioning port 402 is aligned with the positioning block 501. The positioning block 501 moves upward and is inserted into and locked in the second positioning port 402, thereby fixing the usage position of the rotating plate 4. Thus, the upper moving plate 3 and the lower moving plate 301 are kept in the open state, making it convenient for the user to pass through the outer shell of the electrical connector body 1 to install the connecting wire 2 into the slot 101.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
