Technical Field

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

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic and communication technologies, the demand for interconnection of modern devices and systems is increasing. Traditional connectors are often designed for specific application scenarios and connection methods. Once a connection method is selected, it is usually not easy to change, which can cause inconvenience and limitations in multi-device, multi-purpose applications. To adapt to ever-changing needs, convertible connectors have emerged.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN 208336697 U, which discloses a novel convertible connector plug, including a charging plug and a compatible adapter plug. The adapter plug is equipped with a contact switch and a metal conductor compatible with the contact switch. The contact switch includes a first spring and a second spring. This utility model provides a novel convertible connector plug that is not only simple to control and reliable in structure, but also convenient to assemble and disassemble and is inexpensive.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: it cannot adapt the clamping plate to connectors of different sizes, which means that the clamping device cannot be enhanced in terms of capacity, making it inconvenient for workers to fix the connectors and reducing the installation speed.

[0005] Therefore, we provide a steerable connector. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a steerable connector that allows the clamping plate to adapt to connectors of different sizes, thereby enhancing the capacity of the clamping device.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a steerable connector, including a base and a connector. The connector is disposed on the circumferential surface of the base, and a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connector. A clamping device is provided on the circumferential surface of the connector. The clamping device includes a rectangular groove, which is formed on the circumferential surface of the connector. A clamping plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove, and a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate. An annular groove is formed on the circumferential surface of the connector.

[0008] Preferably, a force-bearing rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove, a gear plate is fixedly connected to the side of the force-bearing rod, a sliding groove is formed on the circumferential surface of the gear plate, and a force-bearing shaft is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the gear plate.

[0009] Preferably, the slide grooves are provided in a plurality of them and are arranged in a circumferential array on the circumferential surface of the toothed disk.

[0010] Preferably, the connector has an auxiliary device on its circumferential surface. The auxiliary device includes an action plate, which is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connector. An action shaft passes through the side of the action plate, and a circular plate is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the action shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a caliper is fixedly connected to the side of the circular plate, and a torsion spring is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the actuating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the caliper meshes with the toothed disc, and the side cross-section of the caliper is irregularly shaped.

[0013] Preferably, the circular plate is located directly in front of the action plate, and the torsion spring is located directly behind the action plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a steerable connector, which has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses components such as rectangular groove, clamping plate, sliding rod, and ring groove to cooperate with each other, so that the clamping plate slides on the inner wall of the rectangular groove under force, forcing the clamping plate to extend and fix the connector joint. Moreover, the clamping plate can adapt to connector joints of different sizes, which enhances the capacity of the clamping device, makes it easier for workers to fix the joint, saves a lot of working time, and improves work efficiency.

[0016] 2. This utility model achieves the function of the torsion spring using its own torque to drive the round plate and caliper to reset and lock onto the side of the gear plate. When the operator needs to disassemble, he / she can manually rotate the caliper to complete the disassembly, which effectively avoids the gear plate from reversing and ensures the stability of the connector after it is fixed.

[0017] The parts of this device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1-5 As shown, a steerable connector includes a base 1 and a connector 2. The connector 2 is disposed on the circumferential surface of the base 1. A connecting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connector 2. A clamping device 4 is provided on the circumferential surface of the connector 2. The clamping device 4 includes a rectangular groove 41, which is formed on the circumferential surface of the connector 2. A clamping plate 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove 41. A sliding rod 43 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate 42. An annular groove 44 is formed on the circumferential surface of the connector 2.

[0027] A force-bearing rod 45 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 44. A gear 46 is fixedly connected to the side of the force-bearing rod 45. A sliding groove 47 is opened on the circumferential surface of the gear 46. A force-bearing shaft 48 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the gear 46. The force-bearing rod 45 can drive the gear 46 to rotate by receiving force.

[0028] Several grooves 47 are provided and are arranged in a circumferential array on the circumferential surface of the toothed disk 46. The slide rod 43 can drive the toothed disk 46 to rotate by sliding within the groove 47.

[0029] First, when the operator connects the convertible connector, the connector needs to be aligned with the inner wall of the connector 2. Then, by rotating the force shaft 48 counterclockwise, the gear plate 46 rotates counterclockwise, forcing the slide rod 43 to slide on the inner wall of the slide groove 47, thereby forcing the clamping plate 42 to slide on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 41. This forces the clamping plate 42 to extend and fix the connector 2. The clamping plate 42 can adapt to connectors of different sizes, which enhances the capacity of the clamping device 4, making it easier for the operator to fix the connector, saving a lot of working time and improving work efficiency.

[0030] Example 2: Figures 1-5 As shown, a steerable connector is provided with an auxiliary device 5 on the circumferential surface of the connector 2. The auxiliary device 5 includes an action plate 51, which is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connector 2. An action shaft 52 passes through the side of the action plate 51, and a circular plate 53 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the action shaft 52. The action shaft 52 can drive the circular plate 53 to move.

[0031] A caliper 54 is fixedly connected to the side of the circular plate 53, and a torsion spring 55 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the actuating shaft 52. When the caliper 54 is subjected to force, it can rotate through the actuating shaft 52.

[0032] The caliper 54 meshes with the gear plate 46. The side section of the caliper 54 is set in an irregular shape. When the gear plate 46 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the caliper 54 to move upward in an arc.

[0033] The circular plate 53 is located directly in front of the action plate 51, and the torsion spring 55 is located directly behind the action plate 51. The torsion spring 55 can drive the circular plate 53 to reset.

[0034] First, after the clamping plate 42 clamps and fixes the connector 2, in order to prevent the gear plate 46 from being reversed by external force, when the gear plate 46 is rotated counterclockwise under force, the caliper 54 comes into contact with the gear plate 46, forcing the caliper 54 to be subjected to force through the circular plate 53 to make an upward arc-shaped movement on the circumferential surface of the action shaft 52. When the caliper 54 and the gear plate 46 are no longer in contact, the caliper 54 loses its squeezing force, and the torsion spring 55 fixed on the circumferential surface of the action shaft 52 can use its own torque to drive the circular plate 53 and the caliper 54 to reset and lock into the side of the gear plate 46. When the operator needs to disassemble, he can manually rotate the caliper 54 to complete the disassembly, effectively preventing the gear plate 46 from being reversed and ensuring the stability of the connector 2 after it is fixed.

[0035] 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.
