Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power connector technology, specifically to a scratch-resistant power connector. Background Technology

[0002] Power connectors are an important link between power sources and devices, providing electrical energy to enable devices to operate normally. The main function of power connectors is to connect two active devices and transmit current and signals, thus building an AC bridge between circuits that were originally in a blocked or isolated state, so that current and signals can be transmitted normally.

[0003] A search revealed that the power connector with patent publication number CN222261436U states that "this utility model adopts the arrangement of a first terminal and a second terminal, and adopts an upper and lower separation design; moreover, when in use, the terminal is provided with a bent end, which reduces hot air obstruction and accelerates heat conduction during the soldering process."

[0004] However, the above solution still has some shortcomings in actual use. The insertion cavity inside the plastic shell of this technical solution is relatively shallow, which makes the insertion terminals easily exposed to the outside. When the power connector is bumped, the plastic shell used has poor protection effect on the insertion terminals, which makes the insertion terminals easy to be damaged, thus affecting the service life of the power connector. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a scratch-resistant power connector to solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a scratch-resistant power connector, comprising a connector structure, the connector structure comprising a mounting panel, a rear terminal provided on the back side of the mounting panel, a control switch and a housing provided on the front side of the mounting panel, a front terminal provided inside the housing, a slide rail provided on the outer side of the housing, and a protective structure provided on the outer side of the housing.

[0007] The protective structure includes a protective frame with an installation opening inside. A support rod is fixedly installed inside the installation opening. A damping spring is installed inside the support rod. One end of the damping spring is fixedly connected to a limit plate located inside the slide rail. The other end of the damping spring is fixedly connected to an outer pull plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting panel has mounting holes inside, and the mounting panel is connected to the interface of other equipment through the mounting holes and bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the rear terminal, control switch, and front terminal are electrically connected.

[0010] Furthermore, a hinged cover plate is rotatably connected to the opening of the mounting port, and the size of the hinged cover plate is adapted to the specifications of the mounting port.

[0011] Furthermore, the size of the limiting plate is adapted to the size of the slide rail recess.

[0012] Furthermore, a plug-in block is provided on the side of the limiting plate away from the damping spring, and the size of the plug-in block is adapted to the middle section of the slide rail.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a scratch-resistant power connector with the following features:

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] This scratch-resistant power connector features a protective structure. The protective frame can move laterally along the outside of the housing, covering the opening of the housing and extending its depth. This prevents the terminals from being easily exposed to the outside, improving the protection of the connector terminals and reducing the likelihood of damage from external impacts, thus extending the lifespan of the power connector.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a scratch-resistant power connector, including a connector structure 1. The connector structure 1 includes a mounting panel 101. A rear terminal 102 is provided on the back side of the mounting panel 101. A control switch 103 and a housing 104 are provided on the front side of the mounting panel 101. A front terminal 105 is provided inside the housing 104. The rear terminal 102, control switch 103 and front terminal 105 are electrically connected. A slide rail 106 is provided on the outer side of the housing 104. A protective structure 2 is provided on the outer side of the housing 104.

[0023] The protective structure 2 includes a protective frame 201. The protective frame 201 has an installation port 202 inside. A support rod 204 is fixedly installed inside the installation port 202. A damping spring 205 is provided inside the support rod 204. One end of the damping spring 205 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 206. The limiting plate 206 is located inside the slide rail 106. The other end of the damping spring 205 is fixedly connected to an outer pull plate 208.

[0024] By setting the protective structure 2, the protective frame 201 can be laterally displaced along the outside of the housing 104, so that the protective frame 201 can cover the outside of the opening of the housing 104, thereby extending the depth of the housing 104, avoiding the terminals from being easily exposed to the outside, thus improving the protection effect of the plug terminals, reducing the possibility of the plug terminals being damaged by external collisions, and thus extending the service life of the power connector.

[0025] Specifically, the mounting panel 101 has mounting holes inside, and the mounting panel 101 is connected to the interface of other equipment through the mounting holes and bolts.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connector is connected to the device via the mounting panel 101, which causes the rear terminal 102 to snap into the device's interface.

[0027] Specifically, a hinged cover plate 203 is rotatably connected to the opening of the mounting port 202, and the size of the hinged cover plate 203 is adapted to the specifications of the mounting port 202.

[0028] In this embodiment, rotating the hinged cover 203 can cause the hinged cover 203 to unfold or close the mounting port 202.

[0029] Specifically, the size of the limiting plate 206 is adapted to the size of the recess of the slide rail 106, and a plug block 207 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 206 away from the damping spring 205. The size of the plug block 207 is adapted to the middle section of the slide rail 106.

[0030] In this embodiment, the plug-in block 207 drives the limiting disk 206 to slide inside the slide rail 106, ensuring that the damping spring 205 drives the limiting disk 206 to automatically insert into the recess behind the slide rail 106, thereby achieving the positioning processing of the protective frame 201 after it moves.

[0031] In use, first connect the connector to the device via the mounting panel 101 to make the rear terminal 102 snap into the device's interface;

[0032] When it is necessary to connect other devices to this connector, the cables of the other devices can be connected to the front terminal 105 of this connector;

[0033] At this point, the front terminal 105 needs to be exposed by moving the protective structure 2. The outer pull plate 208 is exposed by rotating the hinge cover plate 203. Then, the outer pull plate 208 is pulled, causing the outer pull plate 208 to move the limiting plate 206 out of the recess inside the slide rail 106 through the damping spring 205. This causes the limiting plate 206 to drive the plug block 207 to contact the middle section of the slide rail 106.

[0034] Next, push the protective frame 201 backward, causing the plug block 207 to slide along the inner wall of the slide rail 106, driving the protective frame 201 to move backward, so that the front terminal 105 inside the housing 104 is gradually exposed, and then connect the front terminal 105 of the cables of other devices.

[0035] During this process, the plug block 207 will drive the limiting plate 206 to gradually move to the back of the slide rail 106. When the limiting plate 206 is in the notch behind the slide rail 106, the damping spring 205 will drive the limiting plate 206 to automatically insert into the notch behind the slide rail 106, thereby realizing the positioning processing of the protective frame 201 after it moves.

[0036] In summary, this scratch-resistant power connector, by setting up a protective structure 2, utilizes a protective frame 201 that can laterally shift along the outer side of the housing 104, allowing the protective frame 201 to cover the outer side of the opening of the housing 104. This extends the depth of the housing 104, preventing the terminals from being easily exposed to the outside, thereby improving the protection effect of the plug terminals, reducing the likelihood of damage to the plug terminals due to external impacts, and thus extending the service life of the power connector.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
