[0002] Connectors, also known domestically as joints and sockets, generally refer to electrical connectors, that is, devices that connect two active devices to transmit current or signals. The male and female terminals can transmit information or current after contact. They are also called connectors. Connectors on trains include male connectors and female connectors. The male and female connectors are connected together by their respective threaded grooves to achieve a fixed connection between them. However, during train operation, the train itself will generate running vibrations. When these vibrations act on the threaded connection parts of the male and female connectors, the threads may loosen due to vibration interference, affecting the connection and transmission effect of the connector, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a backstop connector, including a connector female head 1 and a multi-stage backstop mechanism 4;

[0022] Connector female head 1: Connector male head 2 is inserted into its right end. Connector male head 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating shell 3 via a bearing on its outer left end. Connector female head 1 has an external thread 6 on its outer right end. Rotating shell 3 has an internal thread 7 inside. The external thread 6 and internal thread 7 are threaded together. Both connector female head 1 and connector male head 2 have anti-slip textures 8 on their outer sides. When inserting the male and female heads of the connectors on the train, first insert the needle-like conductor of connector male head 2 into connector female head 1 from right to left. At this time, the internal thread 7 of rotating shell 3 contacts the external thread 6 of connector female head 1. Then, rotate rotating shell 3 so that connector male head 2 gradually moves closer to connector female head 1 through the threaded connection between internal thread 7 and external thread 6. The anti-slip textures 8 increase the contact friction between the operator's hand and the connector surface, thereby preventing relative looseness between the operator's hand and the connector when operating the connector.

[0023] Multi-stage anti-reverse mechanism 4: It includes a first sealing ring 41, a second sealing ring 42, and an elastic locking assembly 45. The first sealing ring 41 is sleeved on the outer right end of the connector female head 1. The second sealing ring 42 is provided on the left side of the rotating shell 3. The elastic locking assembly 45 is provided between the connector female head 1 and the rotating shell 3. The multi-stage anti-reverse mechanism 4 also includes grooves 43 and bosses 44. There are multiple bosses 44, which are evenly arranged on the right side of the first sealing ring 41. Multiple evenly distributed grooves 43 are opened inside the first sealing ring 41. Each groove 43 is installed in conjunction with an adjacent boss 44. There are more than ten grooves 43 and bosses 44. The elastic locking assembly 45 includes a fixed seat 451, a telescopic column 452, a spring 453, an anti-slip seat 454, and a rotating contact seat 456. A fixing seat 451 is located on the outside of the connector female head 1. An anti-slip seat 454 is provided on the right wall of the fixing seat 451 via two symmetrically distributed telescopic columns 452 and springs 453. The springs 453 are movably sleeved with the outer ends of adjacent telescopic columns 452. A rotary contact seat 456 is provided on the outside of the rotating shell 3. The rotary contact seat 456 is fitted with the anti-slip seat 454. The elastic locking assembly 45 also includes a rubber pad 455, which is located on the left side of the anti-slip seat 454. An arc-shaped chamfer 5 is provided at the front edge of the anti-slip seat 454 and the left edge of the rotary contact seat 456. As the connector male head 2 approaches the connector female head 1, both sealing ring 1 41 and sealing ring 2 42 are made of rubber. Sealing ring 2 42 gradually approaches sealing ring 1 41. The rotating shell 3 indirectly applies contact pressure to the sealing ring 41 via its left side, while the right side of the sealing ring 41 is compressed. The protrusions 44 all penetrate into the adjacent grooves 43. Through the elastic deformation between the rubber molecules within the sealing ring 41, the protrusions 44 of the sealing ring 41 exert a rightward elastic counterforce on the sealing ring 42. When the rotating shell 3 is threadedly connected to the connector female head 1, this elastic counterforce ensures that the rotating shell 3 is always moving away from the horizontal direction of the connector female head 1, thus preventing loosening of the threaded connection due to external train vibration interference. This achieves the first-stage train connector connection anti-retraction effect. Simultaneously, when the left side of the rotating shell 3 rotates to the point where it is about to contact the right side of the connector female head 1, this… When the rotating shell 3 rotates, the arc-shaped chamfer 5 of the rotating contact seat 456 rotates and presses against the arc-shaped chamfer 5 of the anti-slip seat 454. Under pressure, the telescopic end of the telescopic column 452 and the spring 453 retract, causing the rotating contact seat 456 to slide to the left along the left side of the anti-slip seat 454. At this time, the rubber pad 455 increases the rotational sliding resistance between the rotating contact seat 456 and the anti-slip seat 454. The compression force of the spring 453 further increases this resistance. This rotational sliding resistance prevents rotation between the rotating contact seat 456 and the anti-slip seat 454, thus preventing rotational sliding separation between the rotating shell 3 and the connector female head 1 due to train vibrations.This achieves a second-stage anti-loosening effect for the train connector connection. It is easy to use, and the device, through sealing and elastic rubber elements, provides multi-stage anti-loosening treatment for the threaded connection between the male and female connectors, preventing loosening due to vibration during train operation.

[0024] The working principle of the anti-reverse connector provided by this utility model is as follows: When inserting the male and female connectors of the connector on the train, firstly, the needle-shaped conductor of the male connector 2 is inserted into the female connector 1 from right to left. At this time, the internal thread 7 of the rotating shell 3 contacts the external thread 6 of the female connector 1. Then, rotating the rotating shell 3 causes the male connector 2 to gradually move closer to the female connector 1 through the threaded connection between the internal thread 7 and the external thread 6. As the male connector 2 moves closer to the female connector 1, the sealing ring 41 and the sealing ring 42 are both made of rubber. The sealing ring 42 gradually moves towards the sealing ring 1. The sealing ring 41 is brought into contact with the rotating shell 3, and the left side of the rotating shell 3 indirectly applies contact pressure to the sealing ring 41. The right side of the sealing ring 41 is compressed, and the protrusions 44 are all inserted into the adjacent grooves 43. Through the elastic deformation between the rubber molecules in the sealing ring 41, the protrusions 44 of the sealing ring 41 apply a rightward elastic counterforce to the sealing ring 42. When the rotating shell 3 is threadedly connected to the connector female head 1, this elastic counterforce keeps the rotating shell 3 tending to move away from the horizontal of the connector female head 1, thereby avoiding the interference of external train vibrations that could cause thread damage between the two. The loose connection phenomenon is thus prevented, achieving the first-stage train connector connection anti-reverse effect. Simultaneously, when the left side of the rotating shell 3 rotates to the point of contacting the right side of the connector female head 1, the rotating shell 3 causes the arc-shaped chamfer 5 of the rotating contact seat 456 to rotate and press against the arc-shaped chamfer 5 of the anti-slip seat 454. The anti-slip seat 454 is compressed, causing the telescopic end of the telescopic column 452 and the spring 453 to retract. The leftward movement of the rotating contact seat 456 slides along the left side of the anti-slip seat 454. At this time, the rubber pad 455 increases the rotational sliding resistance between the rotating contact seat 456 and the anti-slip seat 454, and the spring 453... The compression elasticity of 53 further increases the rotational sliding resistance between the rotary contact seat 456 and the anti-slip seat 454. This rotational sliding resistance prevents rotation between the rotary contact seat 456 and the anti-slip seat 454, thereby preventing rotational sliding separation between the rotary shell 3 and the connector female head 1 due to train vibration. This achieves the second-stage train connector connection anti-retraction effect and is easy to use. The anti-slip texture 8 increases the contact friction between the operator's hand and the connector surface, thereby preventing relative loosening between the operator's hand and the connector when operating the connector.
