Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable connection technology, specifically to a directional adjustable cable connector. Background Technology

[0002] Cable joints, also known as cable heads, are used to lock and secure incoming and outgoing cables, and serve to prevent water, dust, and vibration. After a cable is laid, the sections of the cable must be connected to form a continuous line.

[0003] During cable laying, some cables may change their route as needed, requiring bending. This presents some inconveniences in actual operation and has room for improvement. For example, when connecting cables at bends, the angles of the joints at both ends are mostly fixed, making it difficult to adjust the direction of the cable during laying. Furthermore, the joints are not easy to disassemble and replace during use, reducing the convenience of cable connection and lacking the function of easy reversal and fixation.

[0004] Now, a novel directional adjustable cable connector is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a directional adjustable cable connector to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that it does not have the function of easy directional fixing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a directional adjustable cable connector, comprising a tube body, with an upper connecting ring and a lower connecting ring fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the tube body respectively, an upper threaded opening fixedly connected inside the upper connecting ring, a lower threaded opening fixedly connected inside the lower connecting ring, and a rotatable and fixed fitting assembly movably connected to the right side of the tube body.

[0007] The kit includes a second interface, which is movably connected to the right side of the tube body. A fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the right side of the second interface. An inner groove is fixedly connected inside the fixing sleeve. A rotating column is movably connected inside the inner groove. A rotating head is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating column away from the second interface. A stud is movably connected to the top of the fixing sleeve. A knob is provided at the top of the stud.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the shape and size of the outer part of the rotating column are adapted to the shape and size of the inner part of the groove, the shape and size of the second interface and the rotating head correspond one-to-one, the bottom end of the stud is connected to the top end of the fixed sleeve and penetrates into the interior of the fixed sleeve, and the shape and size of the outer part of the upper threaded opening and the shape and size of the inner part of the second interface are adapted to each other.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a first interface is movably connected below the lower threaded opening, a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first interface, a silicone ring is movably connected inside the connecting sleeve, a connecting plate is provided inside the silicone ring, an insulating plate is inserted inside the connecting plate, multiple sets of through holes are fixedly connected inside the insulating plate, and an insulating sleeve is sleeved outside the through holes.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the silicone ring and the connecting sleeve are tightly fitted, the through holes are distributed in a ring, the vertical center lines of the insulating plate and the connecting sleeve coincide, the shape and size of the outer part of the lower threaded opening are adapted to the shape and size of the inner part of the first interface, and the silicone ring is elastic.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a fluorescent coating is glued to the top of the outer side of the fixing sleeve, a scale line is provided at the bottom of the fluorescent coating, a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing sleeve, and suction cups are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the base plate.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the vertical center lines of the base plate and the fixing sleeve coincide, and the suction cup is elastic.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the adjustable cable connector not only realizes the function of easy turning and fixing, and flexible wiring, but also realizes the function of stable installation;

[0014] The connector is equipped with a second interface, knob, stud, fixing sleeve, inner groove, rotating column, and rotating head. In use, the cable is connected to the conduit. When a change in direction is needed, the upper threaded port inside the upper connecting ring is connected to the second interface, fixing the fixing sleeve on one side of the second interface to the conduit. The internal structure of the rotating head is identical to the second interface. The upper threaded port on another set of conduits is then connected to the rotating head, connecting the two sets of conduits to the left and right sides of the fixing sleeve respectively. Rotating the rotating head causes the rotating column on the left side of the rotating head to rotate within the inner groove of the fixing sleeve, thus rotating the conduit inside the rotating head to adjust the cable laying direction. Rotating the knob then causes the stud to rotate synchronously until the bottom of the stud abuts against the top of the rotating column, fixing the direction. The connector offers greater flexibility and is easier to disassemble and assemble, enabling convenient reversal and fixing.

[0015] By setting up a first interface, connecting sleeve, silicone ring, connecting plate, insulating plate, through hole, and insulating sleeve, when multiple sets of cables need to be wired, first connect the first interface at the top of the connecting sleeve to the outside of the lower threaded port to fix the connecting sleeve and the tube body. At the same time, insert the silicone ring into the inside of the connecting sleeve, and fix the insulating plate through the connecting plate. Then connect the corresponding cable into the inside of the connecting sleeve. The cable wiring can pass through the multiple through holes inside the insulating plate and be insulated and protected by the insulating sleeve to prevent cable short circuits. The overall safety protection performance of the connector is better, and it can be connected according to the number of cables, making it more applicable and realizing the function of flexible wiring.

[0016] Equipped with a fluorescent coating, scale lines, a base plate, and a suction cup, the fixing sleeve is secured to the pipe body via the second interface. When adjusting the cable laying direction, the fluorescent coating on the top of the fixing sleeve helps the operator quickly locate the connector, preventing reduced work efficiency due to poor visibility at night. The scale lines also provide a more intuitive display of the cable's wiring length. When rotating the internal rotating column of the fixing sleeve, the suction cup at the bottom of the base plate is fixed to the installation area, thus securing the entire fixing sleeve. This makes it easier for the operator to turn the cable, resulting in better stability and enabling stable installation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-4 An adjustable cable connector includes a tube body 1. An upper connecting ring 2 and a lower connecting ring 4 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the tube body 1, respectively. An upper threaded port 3 is fixedly connected inside the upper connecting ring 2, and a lower threaded port 5 is fixedly connected inside the lower connecting ring 4. A rotatable and fixed kit assembly is movably connected to the right side of the tube body 1.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 An adjustable cable connector also includes a kit assembly. The kit assembly includes a second interface 8, which is movably connected to the right side of the tube body 1. A fixing sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second interface 8. An inner groove 12 is fixedly connected inside the fixing sleeve 11. A rotating column 13 is movably connected inside the inner groove 12. A rotating head 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating column 13 away from the second interface 8. A stud 10 is movably connected to the top of the fixing sleeve 11. A knob 9 is provided at the top of the stud 10.

[0025] The external shape and size of the rotating column 13 are adapted to the internal shape and size of the inner groove 12. The shape and size of the second interface 8 and the rotating head 14 correspond one-to-one. The bottom end of the stud 10 is connected to the top end of the fixed sleeve 11 and extends into the interior of the fixed sleeve 11. The external shape and size of the upper threaded port 3 are adapted to the internal shape and size of the second interface 8.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cable is connected to the pipe 1. When it needs to be turned, the upper threaded port 3 inside the upper connecting ring 2 is connected to the inside of the second interface 8, so that the knob 9 on one side of the second interface 8 is fixed to the pipe 1. At the same time, the structure of the rotating head 14 is the same as that of the second interface 8. Then, the upper threaded port 3 on another set of pipe 1 is connected to the inside of the rotating head 14, so that the two sets of pipe 1 are connected to the left and right sides of the fixing sleeve 11 respectively. Then, the rotating head 14 is rotated, so that the rotating column 13 on the left side of the rotating head 14 rotates in the inner groove 12 inside the fixing sleeve 11, thereby driving the pipe 1 inside the rotating head 14 to rotate to adjust the cable laying direction. Then, by rotating the knob 9, the stud 10 is driven to rotate synchronously until the bottom end of the stud 10 abuts the top end of the rotating column 13 to fix the direction. The connector is more flexible in use and is easier to disassemble and assemble.

[0027] A first interface 6 is movably connected below the threaded opening 5. A connecting sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first interface 6. A silicone ring 15 is movably connected inside the connecting sleeve 7. A connecting plate 16 is provided inside the silicone ring 15. An insulating plate 17 is inserted into the connecting plate 16. Multiple sets of through holes 18 are fixedly connected inside the insulating plate 17. An insulating sleeve 19 is sleeved on the outside of the through holes 18. The silicone ring 15 and the connecting sleeve 7 fit tightly together. The through holes 18 are distributed in a ring. The vertical center lines of the insulating plate 17 and the connecting sleeve 7 coincide. The shape and size of the outside of the threaded opening 5 are adapted to the shape and size of the inside of the first interface 6. The silicone ring 15 is elastic.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when multiple sets of cables need to be connected, firstly, the first interface 6 at the top of the connecting sleeve 7 is connected to the outside of the lower threaded port 5, so that the connecting sleeve 7 and the tube body 1 are fixed together. At the same time, the silicone ring 15 is installed inside the connecting sleeve 7, and the insulating plate 17 is fixed by the connecting plate 16. Then, the corresponding cable is connected to the inside of the connecting sleeve 7. The cable connection can pass through the multiple through holes 18 inside the insulating plate 17, and is insulated and protected by the insulating sleeve 19 to prevent cable short circuit. The overall safety protection performance of the connector is better, and it can be connected according to the number of cables, making it more applicable.

[0029] The top of the outer side of the fixing sleeve 11 is glued with a fluorescent coating 20. The bottom of the fluorescent coating 20 is provided with a scale line 21. The bottom of the fixing sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to a base plate 22. Suction cups 23 are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the base plate 22. The vertical center line of the base plate 22 and the fixing sleeve 11 coincides. The suction cups 23 are elastic.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after the fixing sleeve 11 is fixed to the pipe body 1 through the second interface 8, when it is necessary to adjust the cable laying direction, the fluorescent coating 20 on the top of the fixing sleeve 11 can help the operator find the position of the connector more quickly, preventing the reduction of work efficiency due to poor visibility at night. At the same time, the scale line 21 can more intuitively display the cable wiring length. When it is necessary to rotate the rotating column 13 inside the fixing sleeve 11, the suction cup 23 at the bottom of the base plate 22 is fixed to the installation area, thereby fixing the fixing sleeve 11 as a whole, which makes it easier for the operator to turn the cable, and the fixing sleeve 11 has better stability.

[0031] Working principle: In use, the cable is first connected to the tube 1. When it needs to be turned, the upper threaded port 3 inside the upper connecting ring 2 is connected to the inside of the second interface 8, so that the knob 9 on one side of the second interface 8 is fixed to the tube 1. At the same time, the structure of the rotating head 14 is the same as that of the second interface 8. Then, the upper threaded port 3 on another set of tubes 1 is connected to the inside of the rotating head 14, so that the two sets of tubes 1 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the fixing sleeve 11. Then, the rotating head 14 is rotated, so that the left side of the rotating head 14 rotates. The column 13 rotates within the inner groove 12 of the fixed sleeve 11, thereby driving the tube 1 inside the rotating head 14 to rotate to adjust the cable laying direction. Then, by rotating the knob 9, the stud 10 rotates synchronously until the bottom end of the stud 10 abuts against the top end of the rotating column 13 to fix the direction. The connector is more flexible in use and easier to disassemble and assemble. When multiple cables need to be connected, first connect the first interface 6 at the top of the connecting sleeve 7 to the outside of the lower threaded port 5, so that the connecting sleeve 7 and the tube 1 are fixed together. Simultaneously, the silicone ring 15 is inserted into the interior of the connecting sleeve 7, and the insulating plate 17 is fixed by the connecting plate 16. Then, the corresponding cable is connected to the interior of the connecting sleeve 7. The cable wiring can pass through multiple sets of through holes 18 inside the insulating plate 17, and is insulated and protected by the insulating sleeve 19 to prevent cable short circuits. The overall safety protection performance of the connector is better, and it can be connected according to the number of cables, making it more applicable. After the fixing sleeve 11 is fixed to the pipe body 1 through the second interface 8, when it is necessary to adjust the cable laying direction, the fluorescent coating 20 on the top of the fixing sleeve 11 can help the operator find the position of the connector more quickly, preventing the reduction of work efficiency due to poor visibility at night. At the same time, the scale line 21 can more intuitively display the cable wiring length. When it is necessary to rotate the rotating column 13 inside the fixing sleeve 11, the suction cup 23 at the bottom of the base plate 22 is fixed to the installation area, thereby fixing the fixing sleeve 11 as a whole, which makes it easier for the operator to turn the cable. The fixing sleeve 11 has better stability.
