Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a three-way heavy-duty connector suitable for aerial work platforms. Background Technology

[0002] In some scenarios, such as self-propelled aerial work platforms, it is necessary to install devices such as limit switches, laser infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and area warning lights. However, most aerial work equipment does not have reserved installation holes. Therefore, it is necessary to connect DC power from the equipment's control cable or modify the wiring to achieve the purpose of power supply or control circuit switching.

[0003] Most existing solutions involve stripping the insulation of the original vehicle's control cables to expose the multi-core wires, then cutting the insulation of each wire one by one to measure voltage and electrodes. Once the corresponding cable is located, it is stripped or cut again before connecting it to the cable of the device to be installed. Finally, electrical tape is used to secure it. However, in actual use, this can cause irreversible damage to the original vehicle's cables. During the wire stripping and wiring process, even slight carelessness can cause short circuits, leading to more serious equipment failures. Furthermore, the technical threshold is high, requiring sufficient basic knowledge of the equipment's control circuits and professional modification. The failure rate is also high because the method of stripping, wiring, and wrapping with electrical tape cannot guarantee the insulation performance of the original vehicle, and the firmness and reliability are greatly reduced, resulting in a high failure rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heavy-duty three-way connector suitable for aerial work platforms, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A heavy-duty tee connector suitable for aerial work platforms, including

[0007] The connector body has a branch cable that extends to the outside linearly connected inside the connector body;

[0008] The connector body has a female plug and a male plug installed at both ends.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the branch cable is provided with a branch plug interface.

[0010] Preferably, the connector body has an overall rectangular column structure design.

[0011] Preferably, the connector body has an overall cylindrical structure design.

[0012] Preferably, the female plug has six insertion pin holes inside.

[0013] Preferably, the male plug has six internal pins.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] This utility model features a branch cable with a branch connector at one end. The device is connected to the external device to be installed via the branch connector. Then, the female and male plugs of the device are inserted into the two connectors of the original vehicle to complete the installation. The installation is convenient and efficient, with no potential installation hazards. When other electrical devices need to be connected to the original wiring, it effectively avoids connecting external devices through methods such as breaking the insulation, using flying wires, or wiring, reducing the difficulty of modification, improving the efficiency of modification, and causing no damage to the original vehicle wiring, thus reducing the failure rate of the device.
