AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing copper-aluminum transition metal plugs have poor connection performance when the aluminum and copper ends are mated, resulting in poor contact and connector damage. They also lack a structure to prevent the connector from rotating and loosening.

Method used

The copper metal connector uses a combination of annular protrusions and slots, along with sliding snap-fit ​​and threaded rotation connection. The slider, arc-shaped spring, and spring in the fixing component provide stability, ensuring the copper end and copper sleeve end are properly mated and fixed.

Benefits of technology

This achieves a stable connection between the copper end and the copper sleeve end, preventing rotational loosening and misalignment, and improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic connector technology, and more specifically, to copper metal connector plugs. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, also known as plugs and sockets in China, generally refer to electrical connectors, which are devices that connect two active devices to transmit current or signals. Connectors simplify the assembly process of electronic products and also simplify the mass production process; if an electronic component fails, the failed component can be quickly replaced when a connector is installed.

[0003] Currently used electronic component connectors typically use a threaded rotating structure for mating. When the connector rotates and loosens, the two connectors inside the electronic component connector become misaligned and break the circuit. There is no structure that can prevent the connector from rotating and becoming misaligned.

[0004] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN112467461A discloses an electronic device connector. The first and second connecting sleeves of this invention change the traditional direct threaded rotary connection method. Instead, they combine the sliding snap-fit ​​and threaded rotary connection structures, thus enabling the invention to prevent the connector from rotating loose and misaligning, and causing a circuit break.

[0005] However, the copper-aluminum transition metal plugs in the aforementioned connectors have simple structures and poor connection effects of the plugging and fixing components, which makes them unable to provide good stability when the aluminum and copper ends are mated, resulting in poor contact and connector damage. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a copper metal connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a copper metal connector, including a first end, a copper end fixedly connected to one side of the first end, an annular protrusion on the outside of the copper end, a first slot on the outside of the copper end and located on one side of the annular protrusion, a copper sleeve end movably engaged on the outside of the copper end, a second end fixedly connected to one side of the copper sleeve end, a second slot on the inner wall of the copper sleeve end, a plurality of sliding grooves on the inner wall of the copper sleeve end and located on one side of the second slot, two third slots on each side of the inner wall of the sliding groove, and a fixing component inside the sliding groove.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The fixing component includes a slider that is slidably connected inside the slide groove, and arc-shaped spring pieces are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The slider has a movable groove inside, and a spring is fixedly connected inside the movable groove.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A movable block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring, and the movable block is slidably connected to the slider.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable block, and the cross-section of the locking block is set as trapezoidal.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The copper end and the copper sleeve end are interconnected, and the annular protrusion fits into the second slot.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The arc-shaped spring piece fits into the third slot, and the locking block fits into the first slot.

[0020] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] By setting a fixing component, during use, the copper end is inserted into the copper sleeve end, the copper end presses against the locking block, the locking block drives the moving block to retract into the movable groove. When the first locking groove coincides with the locking block, the spring moves the locking block into the first locking groove, the copper end drives the fixing component to move, and the arc-shaped spring piece moves out from one third locking groove, moves through the slide groove to another third locking groove, providing better stability when the copper end and the copper sleeve end are connected. The cooperation of the annular protrusion and the second locking groove makes the annular protrusion fit into the second locking groove, further fixing it. Attached Figure Description
