Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and more specifically, to a front-opening retractable connector. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is a device used to connect and transmit electronic or electrical signals. It has a wide range of uses and its basic function is to connect electrical components. Connectors are key components for realizing the interconnection between electrical components and circuits. By connecting different electronic devices and circuits, the entire system can work together.

[0003] In existing published literature, patent publication number CN108123253A discloses a connector that can use the same cutting die to cut the upper terminal blank and the lower terminal blank separately from the material strip, and can use the same molding die to mold an upper insulating body and a lower insulating body on a set of upper terminals and a set of lower terminals respectively, thereby reducing the number of molds and greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the connector; however, this patent has the following defects.

[0004] When using a connector, it needs to be positioned by squeezing a front-opening retractable cover when docking with the wire harness. However, it is difficult to achieve precise positioning and storage during the squeezing process, which leads to excessive squeezing and damage to the wire harness. If the squeezing is too loose, the connection will become less secure. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the precise positioning function. For this reason, a front-opening retractable connector is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a front-opening retractable connector, comprising a connecting shell, a support shaft, and a storage sleeve. The support shaft is fixed to one side of the inner wall of the connecting shell, and the storage sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage sleeve. A retractable storage limiting component is provided on one side of the storage sleeve. The retractable storage limiting component includes a hinge plate fixedly disposed on one side of the storage sleeve, and the hinge plate is hinged to the connecting shell. Multiple contact terminals are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the hinge plate. A fixed terminal is inserted into one side of each contact terminal, and the multiple fixed terminals are fixedly connected to the connecting shell. Two limiting blocks are fixedly installed on one side of the hinge plate. A limiting pad is slidably connected to the bottom end of each limiting block. A support column is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the limiting pad, and a support block is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support column. Both support blocks are fixedly connected to the connecting shell.

[0006] Preferably, the storage sleeve and the connecting shell are hinged together, and the plurality of fixed terminals are arranged equidistantly from left to right; a gap is provided between the contact terminal and the fixed terminal. A support plate is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting shell, and the cross-sectional shape of the support plate is rectangular. A plurality of positioning blocks are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage sleeve, and the plurality of positioning blocks are hinged to the connecting shell.

[0007] When this technology is in use, rotating the flip plate clockwise causes multiple contact terminals to rotate clockwise and compress the wire harness. The support block is connected to the shell, and the support column provides support to the limiting pad. The limiting pad limits the lower surface of the limiting block, thus limiting the limiting block. At the same time, the two limiting blocks retract and limit the flip plate.

[0008] Preferably, two sliding frames are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting shell, and each sliding frame is provided with a magnetic attraction limiting component inside; the magnetic attraction limiting component includes a sliding block, a magnetic block, a guide post, a magnet, and a connecting strip; the sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame, and the magnetic block is fixed to one side of the sliding block; the guide post is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding block, and the guide post is fixedly connected to the sliding frame; the magnet is fixedly located on one side of the inner wall of the sliding frame, and the magnet is fixedly connected to the sliding frame; the connecting strip is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block. The outer wall of the guide post and the inner wall of the sliding block are both smooth surfaces, the vertical cross-section of the guide post is circular, and the vertical cross-section of the magnet and the magnetic block is rectangular. The connecting strip is slidably connected to the sliding frame, and the connecting strip is made of stainless steel.

[0009] When this technology is in use, the connecting strip drives the sleeve slider to move to the right, the magnetic block moves closer to the magnet, and the sleeve slider slides to the right along the inner wall of the slide frame. In this way, the magnetic block and the magnet are magnetically attracted and fixed, which increases the stability of the upper surface of the flip plate and prevents the flip plate from becoming loose.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. This utility model adopts a retractable storage limiting component. Rotating the lifting plate upwards causes the storage sleeve to rotate counterclockwise. The storage sleeve rotates counterclockwise on the outer wall of the support shaft, allowing the wire harness to be inserted into the upper surface of the fixed terminal. By rotating the lifting plate clockwise, the lifting plate causes the two limiting blocks to rotate clockwise. Through the supporting blocks supported by the connecting shell, the lifting plate can accurately retract and compress the wire harness during retraction, avoiding excessive or loose compression, thus achieving a precise limiting function.

[0012] 2. This utility model adopts a magnetic attraction limiting component. The connecting strip drives the sleeve slider to move to the right, the sleeve slider drives the magnetic block to move to the right, and the sleeve slider slides along the inner wall of the slide frame to the right. In this way, the magnetic block and the magnet are magnetically attracted and fixed, which increases the stability of the upper surface of the flip plate and prevents the flip plate from becoming loose. This makes the flip plate more stable after it is closed. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.

[0020] As attached Figure 1-5 The diagram shows a front-opening retractable connector, which is equipped with a retractable limiting component. The retractable limiting component enables precise retraction and compression of the wire harness, avoiding excessive or insufficient compression, and achieving a precise limiting function. The specific structural configuration of the retractable limiting component is as follows.

[0021] In this technical solution, as shown in the appendix Figure 1-3As shown, the support shaft 2 is fixed to one side of the inner wall of the connecting shell 1. The outer wall of the storage sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the storage sleeve 3. A retractable storage limiting component is provided on one side of the storage sleeve 3. The retractable storage limiting component includes a hinged plate 4 fixedly installed on one side of the storage sleeve 3, and the hinged plate 4 is hinged to the connecting shell 1. Multiple contact terminals 5 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the hinged plate 4. A fixed terminal 6 is inserted into one side of each contact terminal 5, and the multiple fixed terminals 6 are fixedly connected to the connecting shell 1. Two limiting blocks 7 are fixedly installed on one side of the hinged plate 4. A limiting pad 8 is slidably connected to the bottom end of each limiting block 7. A support column 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the limiting pad 8, and a support block 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support column 9. Both support blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the connecting shell 1. The storage sleeve 3 is hinged to the connecting shell 1, and the multiple fixed terminals 6 are arranged equidistantly from left to right. There is a gap between the contact terminals 5 and the fixed terminals 6. A support plate 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting shell 1, and the cross-sectional shape of the support plate 11 is rectangular, so that the support plate 11 can provide support force for the connecting shell 1 and increase the stability of the connecting shell 1.

[0022] In this technical solution, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, multiple positioning blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage sleeve 3. The multiple positioning blocks 12 are all hinged to the connecting shell 1 so that the storage sleeve 3 can drive the positioning blocks 12 to rotate counterclockwise, and the lifting plate 4 can drive multiple contact terminals 5 to rotate counterclockwise. In this way, the multiple positioning blocks 12 can form a linkage rotation operation.

[0023] In this embodiment, the front-hinged retractable connector is used by first rotating the hinge 4 upwards. The hinge 4 drives the storage sleeve 3 to rotate counterclockwise. The storage sleeve 3 rotates counterclockwise on the outer wall of the support shaft 2. At the same time, the storage sleeve 3 drives the positioning block 12 to rotate counterclockwise, and the hinge 4 drives multiple contact terminals 5 to rotate counterclockwise. This allows the wire harness to be inserted into the upper surface of the fixed terminal 6. By rotating the hinge 4 clockwise, the hinge 4 drives multiple contact terminals 5 to rotate clockwise to squeeze the wire harness. The hinge 4 also drives two limiting blocks 7 to rotate clockwise. The connecting shell 1 supports the support block 10, and the support block 10 supports the support column 9. The support column 9 provides support force to the limiting pad 8, and the limiting pad 8 limits the lower surface of the limiting block 7. In this way, the hinge 4 can limit the limiting block 7 when it is retracted for storage, and the two limiting blocks 7 simultaneously limit the hinge 4 during the retraction and storage operation.

[0024] In this technical solution, as shown in the appendix Figure 2-5As shown, two sliding frames 13 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting shell 1. Each sliding frame 13 has a magnetic attraction limiting component inside. The magnetic attraction limiting component includes a sliding block 14, a magnetic block 15, a guide post 16, a magnet 17, and a connecting strip 18. The sliding block 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame 13, and the magnetic block 15 is fixed to one side of the sliding block 14. The guide post 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding block 14, and the guide post 16 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 13. The magnet 17 is fixedly located on one side of the inner wall of the sliding frame 13, and the magnet 17 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 13. The connecting strip 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 14. The outer wall of the guide post 16 and the inner wall of the sliding block 14 are both smooth surfaces. The vertical cross-section of the guide post 16 is circular, and the vertical cross-sections of the magnet 17 and the magnetic block 15 are both rectangular. The connecting strip 18 is slidably connected to the sliding frame 13 and is made of stainless steel.

[0025] In this embodiment, when the connecting strip 18 is moved to the right, the connecting strip 18 drives the sleeve slider 14 to move to the right, the sleeve slider 14 drives the magnetic block 15 to move to the right, the magnetic block 15 moves closer to the magnet 17, and at the same time the sleeve slider 14 slides to the right along the outer wall of the guide post 16 and slides to the right along the inner wall of the slide frame 13. In this way, the magnetic block 15 and the magnet 17 are magnetically attracted and fixed. In this way, the upper surface of the connecting strip 18 can limit and fix the upper surface of the flip plate 4, increase the stability of the upper surface of the flip plate 4, and prevent the flip plate 4 from becoming loose.
