[0015] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described in detail below by combining with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model. Before the utility model is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are indicated by the same number.

[0016] Please refer to Figures 1-5 ​As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model discloses a kind of dismounting device 10 of removable connector protective cap, it is applicable to the connector 200 with multiple wiring terminals 211, and each set with protective cap 212 on wiring terminal 211.It includes: clamping module 110 and multiple clamping components 111 installed on clamping module 110, the protective cap 212 of connector 200 is clamped through clamping module 110, and clamping module 110 is moved away from connector 200 to remove protective cap 212.It is particularly important to note that, ensure that the number of clamping components 111 and the number of protective cap 212 remain consistent, so that each clamping component 111 is clamped to each protective cap 212, to achieve the purpose of removing protective cap 212 on connector 200 using the present application, but not limited thereto.

[0017] In an embodiment of the utility model, clamping component 111 has upper spring piece 112a, lower spring piece 112b, upper clamping unit 113a and lower clamping unit 113b.Upper clamping unit 113a is provided with upper stop portion 114a on the side protruding towards protective cap 212, lower clamping unit 113b is provided with lower stop portion 114b on the side protruding towards protective cap 212, and upper stop portion 114a and lower stop portion 114b are staggered arrangement. Among them, upper stop portion 114a and lower stop portion 114b are used to resist protective cap 212, and the staggered arrangement can prevent damage or breakage when clamping component 111 clamps protective cap 212 due to the inclination of protective cap 212.Upper clamping unit 113a is provided with upper clamping slot 115a between the side towards protective cap 212 and upper stop portion 114a, and lower clamping unit 113b is provided with lower clamping slot 115b between the side towards protective cap 212 and lower stop portion 114b.By the way, when clamping component 111 clamps protective cap 212, upper clamping slot 115a and lower clamping slot 115b are used to buckle two sides of protective cap 212, so that protective cap 212 is installed in upper clamping slot 115a and lower clamping slot 115b.

[0018] In detail, each upper clamping slot 115a and its corresponding lower clamping slot 115b of each clamping member 111 are aligned with each protective cap 212 of the connector 200 by the clamping module 110, so as to make the protective cap 212 located in the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b. The upper clamping unit 113a is pushed downward by the compression elastic force of the upper spring member 112a, and the upper clamping unit 113a pushes the upper stop portion 114a downward, so that the upper stop portion 114a abuts against the lower clamping unit 113b. The lower clamping unit 113b is pushed upward by the compression elastic force of the lower spring member 112b, and the lower clamping unit 113b pushes the lower stop portion 114b upward, so that the lower stop portion 114b abuts against the upper clamping unit 113a, so that the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b are close to each other, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping the protective cap 212. When the protective cap 212 is clamped by the clamping member 111, the clamping module 110 is moved away from the connector 200 to remove the protective cap 212, so that the protective cap 212 is separated from the connector 200. At this time, the protective cap 212 is located on the clamping member 111. Through the above technical means, the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b are close to each other and clamp the protective cap 212 under the cooperation of the upper clamping unit 113a pushed by the upper spring member 112a and the lower clamping unit 113b pushed by the lower spring member 112b, and the clamping member 111 is moved away from the connector 200, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the protective cap 212 of the connector 200, which can effectively solve the problem that the connector 200 cannot be automatically operated, effectively avoid the cost of manually removing the protective cap 212, and avoid the influence on the next production process caused by missing or mistakenly removing the protective cap 212, thereby solving the problems in the background art and improving the removal efficiency.

[0019] By the way, Figure 3 is a front view of a clamping module of the utility model. Since the upper stop portion 114a and the lower stop portion 114b are staggered, the upper clamping unit 113a is pushed by the upper spring member 112a to drive the upper stop portion 114a, and the lower clamping unit 113b is pushed by the lower spring member 112b to drive the lower stop portion 114b, so that the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b are close to each other and clamp the protective cap 212. Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , which is a side view of the clamping member 111 without clamping the protective cap 212, because Figure 3 , the upper stop portion 114a and the lower stop portion 114b in the front view are staggered Figure 4 , and the solid line of the edge coinciding between the upper stop portion 114a and the lower stop portion 114b can be seen. Please refer to Figure 5 , which is a side view of the clamping member 111 with clamping the protective cap 212, becauseFigures 3-4 In order to clamp the protective cap 212 by means of the clamping member 111, the compression elastic force of the upper spring member 112a pushes the upper clamping unit 113a to drive the upper stop portion 114a, the compression elastic force of the lower spring member 112b pushes the lower clamping unit 113b to drive the lower stop portion 114b, and then the upper stop portion 114a is pressed close to the lower clamping unit 113b and the lower stop portion 114b is pressed close to the upper clamping unit 113a, so that the distance or length between the side edges of the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b is shortened. Therefore, it can be understood that the edges between the upper stop portion 114a and the lower stop portion 114b are pressed to the upper clamping unit 113a and the lower clamping unit 113b to become dashed lines, but not limited thereto.

[0020] Further, after the protective cap 212 is pulled off the connector 200 by means of the clamping module 110, the compression elastic force of the upper spring member 112a and the lower spring member 112b is released to restore the length or distance between the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b, so that the protective cap 212 can be detached from the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b. Alternatively, the clamping module 110 uses the tensile elastic force of the upper spring member 112a to pull the upper clamping unit 113a upward and outward, and the upper clamping unit 113a pulls the upper stop portion 114a upward and outward, so that the upper stop portion 114a is upward and away from the lower clamping unit 113b. At the same time, the tensile elastic force of the lower spring member 112b pulls the lower clamping unit 113b downward and outward, and the lower clamping unit 113b pulls the lower stop portion 114b downward and outward, so that the lower stop portion 114b is downward and away from the upper clamping unit 113a. In this way, the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b are away from each other, so that the distance between the side edges of the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b is increased, and the protective cap 212 between the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b is detached. Further, the protective cap 212 is detached or disassembled from the clamping member 111, but not limited thereto.

[0021] Further, the upper protruding surface 213a is protrudingly arranged on the side of the upper clamping slot 115a of the protective cap 212, and the lower protruding surface 213b is protrudingly arranged on the side of the lower clamping slot 115b of the protective cap 212. It should be noted that in order to clamp the protective cap 212 by means of the clamping member 111, the upper protruding surface 213a of the protective cap 212 is clamped in the upper clamping slot 115a, and the lower protruding surface 213b of the protective cap 212 is clamped in the lower clamping slot 115b, so as to clamp the protective cap 212 by means of the clamping member 111, but not limited thereto.

[0022] Further, the upper clamping unit 113a is connected to the upper stop portion 114a in an L-shaped manner. It should be noted that the shape of the upper clamping unit 113a connected to the upper stop portion 114a is not particularly limited and can be changed as required, but only to facilitate the upper clamping unit 113a to be pushed by the compression force of the upper spring member 112a to drive the upper stop portion 114a. Similarly, the shape of the lower clamping unit 113b connected to the lower stop portion 114b is not particularly limited, but not limited thereto.

[0023] In addition, the upper clamping unit 113a and the upper stop portion 114a are integrally formed, and the lower clamping unit 113b and the lower stop portion 114b are also integrally formed. More specifically, the upper clamping unit 113a and the lower clamping unit 113b are integrally formed to be suitable for mass production, thereby effectively improving production efficiency. In addition, specific changes can be made according to different situations to meet different production needs, but not limited thereto.

[0024] In some other embodiments of the present application, the external sensor or other external detection device can be used to detect whether the protective cap 212 is intact or not by optical, touch or other detection methods. Of course, some alarm signal lights or sensors can be added based on the above to remind or inform the user of the damage or loss of the protective cap 212, but not limited thereto.

[0025] In summary, the dismounting device 10 of the removable connector protective cap of the present application can make the clamping member 111 approach and clamp the protective cap 212 through the upper clamping slot 115a and the lower clamping slot 115b, and make the clamping member 111 move away from the connector 200, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the protective cap 212 in the connector 200, improving the removal efficiency, being convenient to use, and having good practicability. Furthermore, other purposes and advantages of the present application can be further understood from the technical features disclosed in the present application.

[0026] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
