[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] See Figures 1 to 4As shown in the accompanying drawings, the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in this specification are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and to provide a clear understanding. They are not intended to limit the scope of this invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, provided they do not affect the effectiveness or purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the use of terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" in this specification is solely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0026] The quick-release connector of the insulating operating rod in this embodiment includes a male connector 1, a female connector 2, a sleeve 3, a steel ball 4, a retaining ring 5, a spring 6, and a pin 7. The male connector 1 is connected to the female connector 2. The sleeve 3 and the spring 6 are both fitted outside the female connector 2, and the spring 6 is located between the sleeve 3 and the female connector 2. The two ends of the spring 6 abut against the sleeve 3 and the female connector 2, respectively. The steel ball 4 is installed on the female connector 2. When the sleeve 3 contacts the steel ball 4, the steel ball 4 can connect the male connector 1 and the female connector 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, a pin 7 is installed on the female connector 2. The pin 7 can limit the male connector 1 to prevent the male connector 1 from rotating. The female connector 2 is provided with a steel ball limiting hole 21 and a snap ring limiting groove 22. The steel ball 4 is located in the steel ball limiting hole 21. A snap ring 5 is installed in the snap ring limiting groove 22 to limit the snap sleeve 3 to prevent the snap sleeve 3 from separating from the female connector 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the male connector 1 is provided with a ball limiting groove 11 and a pin limiting groove 12. When the sleeve 3 contacts the ball 4, the ball 4 is located in the ball limiting groove 11. When the male connector 1 is connected to the female connector 2, the pin 7 is located in the pin limiting groove 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the female connector 2 is provided with a spring retainer 23, and the inner wall of the retainer 3 is provided with a retainer retainer 31. The two ends of the spring 6 abut against the spring retainer 23 and the retainer retainer 31 respectively. When the retainer retainer 31 contacts the steel ball 4, the steel ball 4 is located in the steel ball limiting groove 11.

[0030] In this embodiment, the sleeve 3 is provided with a sleeve groove 32, which cooperates with the pin 7. When the pin 7 is located in the sleeve groove 32, the sleeve 3 can slide on the female connector 2. The end of the sleeve platform 31 is inclined.

[0031] Specifically, during use, the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 2, simultaneously engaging the pin limiting groove 12 with the pin 7. The sleeve 3, under the action of the spring 6, moves upward, and the sleeve retainer 31 contacts the steel ball 4, thus embedding the steel ball 4 into the steel ball limiting groove 11 to fix the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. A retaining spring 5, installed in the retaining spring limiting groove 22, limits the sleeve 3 along the axis, preventing it from detaching from the female connector 2. After the male connector 1 and female connector 2 are connected, the connection can be made through... Spring 6 lifts the sleeve 3, causing the sleeve groove 32 to disengage from the pin 7. At this time, the sleeve 3 can be rotated so that its end contacts the pin 7 to prevent the sleeve 3 from moving up and down and accidentally disassembling the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. When it is necessary to disassemble the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, rotate the sleeve 3 so that the sleeve groove 32 is aligned with the pin 7. Pull the sleeve 3 down to compress the spring 6 at the same time. At this time, the steel ball 4 separates from the sleeve plate 31, and the male connector 1 can be pulled out of the female connector 2 to achieve the disassembly of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2.

[0032] Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ in the shape and name of their components. The above description is merely illustrative of the structure of this utility model. All equivalent or simple variations made based on the structure, features, and principles described in this utility model patent concept are included within the protection scope of this utility model patent. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined in these claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
