Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of driver technology, and in particular to a non-detachable pluggable driver. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, in fields such as industrial automation, communication equipment, and medical instruments, pluggable drivers are key data transmission and power connection components, and the reliability and stability of their connections are of paramount importance. Traditional pluggable connectors are prone to loosening or even falling off under conditions of vibration, impact, or frequent plugging and unplugging, leading to signal transmission interruption or equipment failure.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent application with patent number 202320009531.1, which discloses a detachable anti-drop plug structure. The anti-drop device includes two notches on both sides of a flip plate. A sliding rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of each notch. A displacement plate is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod. A support plate is slidably connected inside the flip plate. Multiple suction cups are fixedly installed on the surface of the support plate away from the flip plate. A limiting plate is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod. Multiple limiting holes are circumferentially opened on the surface of the limiting plate. A U-shaped bracket is fixedly installed on the surface of one of the vertical plates. A threaded rod is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two ends of the U-shaped bracket. A rotating wheel is fixedly installed at one end of the threaded rod.

[0004] The detachable anti-drop plug structure in the aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: Although the suction cup can fix the plug and socket by adsorption, when the external force on the plug is greater than the maximum adsorption force of the suction cup, the suction cup cannot guarantee the fixation between the plug and the socket, so that the plug still has the risk of falling off. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an anti-detachment pluggable driver.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A pluggable driver with anti-detachment feature includes a driver body with an anti-detachment component. The anti-detachment component includes a connecting plate and a rotating shaft. The connecting plate is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the driver body by screws, and the rotating shaft is movably connected to the inner wall of a through hole on the surface of the connecting plate. A torsion spring is installed between the outer circumference of the rotating shaft and the top of the connecting plate. A rotating disk is welded to the bottom of the rotating shaft, and two sets of crank-rocker mechanisms are installed at the bottom of the rotating disk. Anti-detachment blocks are fixed to the ends of the crank-rocker mechanisms, and anti-detachment grooves that are adapted to the anti-detachment blocks are opened on both sides of the wiring harness assembly.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the crank rocker mechanism includes a limiting plate and a guide rod. The limiting plate is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the driver body by screws, and the guide rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the through hole opened on the surface of the limiting plate. A U-shaped frame is welded to one end of the guide rod, and a swing arm is movably connected between the inner wall of the U-shaped frame and the outer wall of the bottom of the rotating disk.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a side plate is welded to one end of the guide rod, and the anti-detachment block and the side plate are welded and fixed together.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the wire harness assembly includes a female connector and a transmission line, the transmission line being electrically connected to one end of the female connector, and two anti-detachment grooves being respectively formed on the outer walls of both sides of the female connector.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: an anti-foolproof plate is welded to one side of the outer wall of the driver body, and an anti-foolproof block is integrally formed on the top of the female connector.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, one end of the driver body is provided with a male connector for female connectors to be inserted.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a knob is welded to the top of the rotating shaft.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an anti-dislodgement pluggable driver, which has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The crank rocker mechanism driven by the knob and the rebound action of the torsion spring make the anti-detachment block accurately engage in the anti-detachment groove of the wire harness assembly, forming a mechanical interlock. This structure effectively prevents the connector from loosening due to vibration or external force, ensuring the continuity and stability of data transmission.

[0016] 2. By setting up anti-misalignment plates and anti-misalignment blocks, the insertion direction of the female connector is limited. If the user inserts it in the wrong direction, the anti-misalignment block will mechanically interfere with the anti-misalignment plate to prevent incorrect operation and avoid connector damage or short circuit caused by reverse insertion, which significantly improves the safety of use.

[0017] 3. The opening and closing of the anti-detachment blocks on both sides can be controlled simultaneously with one hand by rotating the knob. No additional tools are required, simplifying the installation process and facilitating subsequent wiring harness replacement or equipment maintenance, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0018] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] A type of anti-dislodge pluggable driver, to improve anti-dislodgement capability, such as... Figures 1 to 6As shown, the device includes a driver body 1 with an anti-detachment component installed. The driver body 1 is fixed between the anti-detachment component and the wiring harness component. One end of the driver body 1 is provided with a male connector 9 for the wiring harness component to be inserted. The anti-detachment component includes a connecting plate 12 and a rotating shaft 15. The connecting plate 12 is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the driver body 1 by screws. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of a through hole opened on the surface of the connecting plate 12. A knob 8 is welded to the top of the rotating shaft 15. A torsion spring 16 is installed between the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 15 and the top of the connecting plate 12. A rotating disk 7 is welded to the bottom of the rotating shaft 15. Two sets of crank rocker mechanisms are installed at the bottom of the rotating disk 7. An anti-detachment block 18 is fixed at the end of the crank rocker mechanism. Anti-detachment grooves 6 that are adapted to the anti-detachment block 18 are opened on both sides of the wiring harness component.

[0030] The male connector 9 enables the wire harness assembly to be initially connected to the driver body 1 via a plug-in method. The wire harness assembly can be used to transmit data or commands. After the wire harness assembly and the driver body 1 are connected via the male connector 9, in order to prevent the wire harness assembly from becoming loose and to ensure the stability and continuity of data or command transmission, the knob 8 is first rotated before the wire harness assembly is inserted into the male connector 9. During the rotation of the knob 8, the rotating disk 7 is driven to rotate synchronously. The crank rocker mechanism converts the circular motion of the rotating disk 7 into the linear motion of the anti-detachment blocks 18, so that the two sets of anti-detachment blocks 18 move to both sides at the same time. Then, after the wire harness assembly is inserted into the male connector 9, the knob 8 is released. The rebound force of the torsion spring 16 causes the two sets of anti-detachment blocks 18 to move relative to each other and respectively engage with the anti-detachment grooves 6 on both sides of the wire harness assembly. Thus, the anti-detachment blocks 18 limit the anti-detachment grooves 6 and prevent the wire harness assembly from becoming loose and falling out of the male connector 9.

[0031] The crank rocker mechanism includes a limiting plate 13 and a guide rod 10. The limiting plate 13 is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the driver body 1 by screws, and the guide rod 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole opened on the surface of the limiting plate 13. A U-shaped frame 17 is welded to one end of the guide rod 10, and a swing arm 14 is rotatably connected between the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 17 and the bottom outer wall of the rotating disk 7. A side plate 4 is welded to one end of the guide rod 10, and the anti-disengagement block 18 is welded and fixed to the side plate 4.

[0032] The swing arm 14 can convert the circular motion of the rotating disk 7 into the linear motion of the guide rod 10 along the limiting plate 13. By setting two sets of crank rocker mechanisms, the two sets of anti-detachment blocks 18 move in opposite directions. When the two sets of anti-detachment blocks 18 move relative to each other, they are inserted into the corresponding anti-detachment grooves 6, thereby limiting the distance between the wire harness assembly and the driver body 1 and preventing the wire harness assembly from falling off the guide rod 10.

[0033] The wire harness assembly includes a female connector 3 and a transmission line 2. The transmission line 2 is electrically connected to one end of the female connector 3, and the female connector 3 and the male connector 9 are connected by a plug-in method. Two anti-detachment grooves 6 are respectively opened on the outer walls of the two sides of the female connector 3.

[0034] By inserting the female connector 3 into the male connector 9, and installing the female connector 3 (not shown) at the other end of the transmission line 2 onto the receiving device, the driver body 1 transmits data or commands to the receiving device through the transmission line 2 and the female connector 3.

[0035] Working principle: First, the male connector 9 at one end of the driver body 1 is plugged into the female connector 3 of the wiring harness assembly to achieve a preliminary electrical connection. The female connector 3 is connected to the receiving device through the transmission line 2, thereby allowing the transmission of data or commands. Before inserting the wiring harness assembly into the male connector 9, the knob 8 is turned first. The rotation of the knob 8 will drive the rotating disk 7 to rotate synchronously. Two sets of crank rocker mechanisms are installed at the bottom of the rotating disk 7. When the rotating disk 7 rotates, the swing arm 14 will push the guide rod 10 to slide along the inner wall of the through hole of the limiting plate 13. One end of the guide rod 10 is welded to a side plate 4, and the anti-disengagement block 18 is welded and fixed to the side plate 4. Therefore, the guide rod 10... The sliding of 0 will cause the anti-detachment block 18 to move in a straight line. Due to the setting of two sets of crank rocker mechanisms, the two sets of anti-detachment blocks 18 will move in opposite directions. When the female end connector 3 of the wire harness assembly is inserted into the male end connector 9, the release knob 8 will rotate the rotating shaft 15 to rotate the rotating disk 7 in the opposite direction due to the rebound force of the torsion spring 16. Then, through the crank rocker mechanism, the two sets of anti-detachment blocks 18 will be locked into the anti-detachment grooves 6 opened on both sides of the outer wall of the female end connector 3. The matching design of the anti-detachment block 18 and the anti-detachment groove 6 ensures the stable connection between the wire harness assembly and the driver body 1, avoiding the risk of the wire harness assembly loosening and falling out of the male end connector 9.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] A type of non-detachable pluggable driver, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, to avoid the female connector 3 being inserted backwards, this embodiment makes the following additions based on embodiment 1: an anti-foolproof plate 11 is welded to one side of the outer wall of the driver body 1, and an anti-foolproof block 5 is integrally formed on the top of the female connector 3;

[0038] When the female connector 3 and the male connector 9 are inserted together, the anti-mistake block 5 and the anti-mistake plate 11 can be used to prevent the female connector 3 from being inserted in reverse. When the female connector 3 is inserted in reverse, the anti-mistake block 5 will collide with the anti-mistake plate 11, so that the female connector 3 cannot be inserted with the male connector 9. At the same time, the anti-mistake block 5 can also limit the maximum movement distance of the female connector 3 and the male connector 9 after they are inserted, thereby preventing the female connector 3 from being damaged due to excessive insertion depth.

[0039] 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.
