[0028] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0029] This utility model embodiment provides an interlocking cylinder connector assembly, such as... Figures 1-8 As shown, the interlocking cylinder connector assembly includes:

[0030] A female connector 200 is provided with a locking member 300, which is rotatably connected to a deflection shaft 210 on the female connector 200. The female connector 200 is provided with a locking block 220 and a locking groove 230.

[0031] The locking component 300 includes a first locking module 310 and a second locking module 320. The first locking module 310 includes a deflection arm 311, a latch 312, and a limiting groove 313. The deflection arm 311 is disposed on both sides of the latch 312. The end of the deflection arm 311 away from the latch 312 is rotatably connected to the deflection shaft 210. The deflection arm 311 is provided with a protrusion adapted to the latch 101. The limiting groove 313 is disposed on the latch 312. The second locking module 320 is assembled in the limiting groove 313. The latch 312 is engaged with the latch block 220.

[0032] The second locking module 320 includes a frame 321, a top plate 322, and an inner locking plate 323. The frame 321 is connected to one end of the top plate 322 and is engaged with the limiting groove 313. The inner locking plate 323 is disposed on the inner edge of the frame 321 and has a protrusion that matches the locking groove 230.

[0033] A male connector 100 is provided with a bayonet 101. A female connector 200 is inserted from the side of the male connector 100 with the bayonet 101. After the female connector 200 and the male connector 100 are engaged, the protrusion engages with the bayonet 101 by rotating the locking member 300. Then, the first locking module 310 is engaged with the locking block 220 by deflection. The inner locking plate 323 on the second locking module 320 is assembled in the locking groove 230 to complete the limiting and locking of the deflection shaft 210.

[0034] The inner locking plate 323, assembled in the locking groove 230, engages with the locking tongue 312 and the locking block 220 to restrict the deflection shaft 210 from continuing to rotate around the deflection shaft 210, thereby allowing the protrusion to engage with the bayonet 101, completing the locking between the female connector 200 and the male connector 100. In this application, the female connector 200 and the male connector 100 are initially locked by the protrusion engaging with the bayonet 101. The second locking is completed by combining the first locking module 310 and the second locking module 320 to lock the locking member 300 and the female connector 200, thereby enhancing the connectivity of the female connector 200 and the male connector 100 after docking and avoiding the relative sliding between the female connector 200 and the male connector 100 from affecting the stability of the equipment circuit.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the protrusion includes a first locking tooth 3141 and a second locking tooth 3142, wherein the first locking tooth 3141 extends into the locking slot and the second locking tooth 3142 abuts against the outside of the locking slot.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bayonet adopts a triangular structure, and the first tooth 3141 and the second tooth 3142 form a gear shape. One side of the bayonet is equivalent to being engaged between the first tooth 3141 and the second tooth 3142.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the number of locking slots 230 and protrusions is the same. When the first locking module 310 is provided with a latch 312 that engages with the latch block 220, the protrusion extends into the locking slot 230. The second locking module 320 is inserted entirely into the limiting slot 313. The outer edge of the latch frame 321 is provided with multiple sets of limiting latch blocks. The limiting slot 313 is provided with a limiting slot that matches the limiting latch blocks. With the help of the limiting latch blocks and the limiting slots, the second locking module 320 and the first locking module 310 form an integral structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, the protrusion is disposed on the end face of the inner locking plate 323 away from the latch 312. The number of locking grooves 230 and protrusions is the same. When the latch 312 on the first locking module 310 is engaged with the locking block 220, the protrusion extends into the locking groove 230.

[0039] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the foregoing embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the described order of actions, as some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to the present invention.
