Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector technology, and in particular relates to a locking connector. Background Technology

[0002] A connector generally refers to an electrical connector, which is a device that connects two active devices to transmit current or signals. Connectors are a common component. Their function is very simple: to bridge gaps in a circuit or between isolated circuits, allowing current to flow and enabling the circuit to perform its intended function. Connector forms and structures are highly diverse, varying depending on the application, frequency, power, and environment.

[0003] A previously published patent (publication number CN 210404199 U) discloses a locking DC connector, including a male head, a female head, and a housing. The male head's male connector terminal and the female head's female connector terminal are inserted into each other. The male head also includes a connecting post with a first external thread on its outer side wall. The female head also includes a connecting seat with a second external thread. The housing is cylindrical, and its inner wall has a first internal thread that mates with the first external thread and a second internal thread that mates with the second external thread. This connector achieves locking and unlocking of the DC connector by rotating the housing, providing both a secure connection and easy disassembly.

[0004] However, the aforementioned connectors lack flexibility and cannot adjust their locking method according to different connection scenarios. Therefore, we provide a locking connector to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 A locking connector includes a connector body 100, the connector body 100 including a main body 101, a limiting ring 102 integrally disposed at the bottom of the main body 101, a sleeve 103 extending outward along the main body 101, a sealing cap 104 threadedly fitted to the end of the sleeve 103, a protective sleeve 106 threadedly fitted to the front end of the main body 101, a magnetic ring 109 movably sleeved on the outside of the protective sleeve 106, a connecting end 107 integrally disposed at the front end of the main body 101, and a terminal 108 embedded inside the connecting end 107.

[0026] Specifically, the protective sleeve 106 is provided with equidistant limiting grooves 106a on its periphery. The limiting grooves 106a match the limiting strips 109a integrally formed on the inner side of the magnetic ring 109, ensuring that the magnetic ring 109 can be stably and movably sleeved on the outside of the protective sleeve 106 without rotating or falling off at will. The magnetic ring 109 has a magnetic material embedded inside, and its inner side is attracted to the outer metal contact surface. The magnetic material embedded in the magnetic ring 109 can be attracted to the outer metal contact surface, increasing the stability and safety of the connector, so that the connector can remain stable even in a vibration environment, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection.

[0027] The inner side of the protective sleeve 106 is provided with threads, and the inner wall of the protective sleeve 106 is spaced apart from the periphery of the connecting end 107. One end of the protective sleeve 106 is threadedly connected to the main body 101, and the other end of the protective sleeve 106 is adapted to the thread of the external wiring terminal.

[0028] An annular gap is provided between the connecting end 107 and the terminal 108. The terminal 108 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes, which cooperate with the metal pins of the external wiring terminal to complete the electrical connection. The annular gap between the connecting end 107 and the terminal 108 helps to reduce the direct contact between the two, thereby reducing the impact of heat conduction and electromagnetic interference.

[0029] Furthermore, the main body 101 has a cylindrical structure with an internal cavity, and the periphery of the main body 101 is provided with threads. An ear seat 105 is integrally provided at the edge of the sealing cover 104, and the ear seat 105 is fixed to the external mounting structure by fasteners. The internal cavity of the main body 101 is used to accommodate the terminals 108 and other internal components required for electrical connection, which not only provides sufficient space to arrange electrical contact points, but also ensures the stability of the connector during use. The threads on the periphery of the main body 101 are used for threaded connection with other components (such as the protective sleeve 106), ensuring the safety and reliability of the connection.

[0030] The specific steps for using this locking connector are as follows:

[0031] First, visually inspect the connector and its accessories to confirm that there is no physical damage or defect; clean all threaded interfaces to ensure that there are no foreign objects that may obstruct installation;

[0032] 2. Align the connector end 107 of the connector body 100 with the external wiring end, and gently push it in until you feel the action of the limit ring 102. This indicates that the correct insertion depth has been reached.

[0033] 3. Tighten the protective sleeve 106 to the threaded area at the front end of the main body 101, so that one end of the protective sleeve 106 is connected to the main body 101 and the other end is threaded to the external terminal to ensure a firm and reliable connection.

[0034] Fourth, the magnetic ring 109 is fitted onto the outside of the protective sleeve 106, and the magnetic material is used to attract it to the external metal surface to further enhance the stability of the connector.

[0035] Fifth, finally, screw the sealing cap 104 onto the end of the sleeve 103 to complete the assembly and sealing of the entire connector.

[0036] Working principle

[0037] Once the locking connector is in use, current flows through the metal pins on the external terminals into the internal terminal 108, and then from the terminal 108 to the circuit system on the other end of the connector. During this process, the additional locking function provided by the magnetic ring 109 ensures a stable connection even under vibration conditions. The double protective layer formed by the protective sleeve 106 and the sealing cap 104 effectively isolates the internal components of the connector from external environmental factors, including moisture, dust, and other factors that may cause malfunctions. The threaded connections of each node simplify the installation and maintenance process, allowing users to easily install, adjust, or replace the connector without the aid of special tools.
