Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to an auxiliary docking device for multiple connectors. Background Technology

[0002] In the electronics field, with continuous technological advancements, the demand for signal transmission between circuit boards is increasing, leading to a surge in connector density. In practical applications, the mating or disassembly of connectors between different modules often requires forces in the thousands of Newtons. Manual operation alone is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also struggles to achieve precise mating, thus necessitating the use of auxiliary mating devices. Currently, most common auxiliary mating devices on the market are designed based on the principles of automated mechanisms such as cylinders or motor drives. While these devices can meet the push-pull force output requirements to some extent, they also have several shortcomings. On the one hand, the need for multiple components undoubtedly increases the cost of the equipment or module; on the other hand, the numerous components and the laying of cables or pipes between them not only significantly increase the equipment's size but also place higher demands on the operating environment, limiting its application in certain special scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address all or part of the problems of the prior art, this utility model provides an auxiliary docking device for multiple connectors. Through a purely mechanical structural design, this device cleverly utilizes the principle of mechanical transmission to transform the large force of the connector into a smaller, easily maneuverable push-pull force, thereby significantly reducing the cost of use and improving the convenience of the equipment without increasing additional energy consumption.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An auxiliary docking device for multiple connectors, comprising:

[0006] The docking assembly has a plurality of first connectors on its second surface;

[0007] A base assembly having a second connector on its first surface that mates with the first connector;

[0008] The auxiliary docking assembly includes two sets of symmetrically arranged transmission and engagement structures and a horizontal drive mechanism. The transmission and engagement structures are disposed on the second surface of the docking assembly and located on both sides of the first connector. The horizontal drive mechanism is disposed on the first surface of the base assembly and located on both sides of the second connector and corresponds to the transmission and engagement structures.

[0009] The horizontal drive mechanism acts on the transmission and mating structure through horizontal movement, converting the horizontal driving force into a vertical force, driving the docking assembly to move vertically relative to the base assembly, so as to realize the docking or separation of the first connector and the second connector.

[0010] The transmission and engagement structure includes an inclined track extending along the second surface of the docking assembly, and at least one inclined groove is provided on the inclined track.

[0011] The angle between the axis of the inclined slide and the horizontal plane is 0°-90°.

[0012] The horizontal drive mechanism includes a sliding part and a power input part. The sliding part includes a slide rail and a slider thereon. The power input part is mounted on the slider and is provided with a guide shaft that slides into the inclined groove.

[0013] The power input unit includes a connecting plate fixedly connected to the slider, an operating handle, and a guide shaft. The guide shaft is located on one side facing the second connector, and the operating handle is located on the other side.

[0014] It also includes a guide positioning structure, specifically including multiple sets of guide pins and guide pin seats. The guide pins are fixed to the first surface of the base assembly, and the guide pin seats are correspondingly disposed on the second surface of the docking assembly and cooperate with the guide pins to enable the docking assembly to move vertically within the range of the guide pin seats.

[0015] When the guide shaft is located at the top of the inclined groove, the guide pin is engaged inside the guide pin seat, and the first connector and the second connector are docked.

[0016] When the guide shaft is located at the bottom end of the inclined groove, the end of the guide pin is flush with the top of the guide pin seat, and the first connector and the second connector are separated.

[0017] It includes four sets of guide pins and guide pin seats, which are located on both sides of the axial direction of the transmission and engagement structure.

[0018] The first connector is the female end, and the second connector is the male end.

[0019] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1) It employs a purely mechanical auxiliary docking device specifically designed to solve the docking problems between multiple connectors. By cleverly utilizing the principle of mechanical transmission, the large force exerted by the connectors is transformed into a smaller, easily operable push-pull force. This not only effectively reduces operating costs but also eliminates the need for additional energy consumption, significantly improving the ease of use of the equipment.

[0021] 2) By cleverly combining the slider with the slide rail, the guide shaft with the inclined track, and the guide pin with the guide pin seat, the large pull force of the connector is converted into a push force that can be operated manually. This design makes the operation process simple and easy, avoids the design of complex automated mechanisms, and effectively reduces the energy consumption of the equipment. At the same time, the components used are small in size and low in cost, which significantly reduces the size of the equipment, reduces the requirements for the equipment's operating environment, and improves the utilization rate of the site.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions in specific embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] The implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0033] In this embodiment of the utility model, in conjunction with reference to the reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a multi-connector auxiliary docking device is provided, which has an ingenious structural design and practical function. The device mainly includes three core components: a docking component 1, a base component 2, and an auxiliary docking component 3. The second surface of the docking component 1 is provided with multiple first connectors 101, while the first surface of the base component 2 is provided with second connectors 202 that precisely match the first connectors 101. In this specific application, the first connectors 101 are female ends, and the second connectors 202 are male ends. The auxiliary docking component 3 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged transmission and engagement structures 301 and a horizontal drive mechanism 302. The transmission and engagement structures 301 are disposed on the second surface of the docking component 1 and located on both sides of the first connectors 101; the horizontal drive mechanism 302 is disposed on the first surface of the base component 2, located on both sides of the second connectors 202, and forms a precise correspondence with the transmission and engagement structures 301. During operation, the horizontal drive mechanism 302 acts on the transmission and mating structure 301 through horizontal movement, which can efficiently convert the horizontal driving force into a vertical force, thereby driving the docking component 1 to move vertically relative to the base component 2, thus realizing the docking or separation of the first connector 101 and the second connector 202.

[0034] In this embodiment, the transmission and engagement structure 301 includes an inclined track extending along the second surface of the docking assembly 1. This inclined track is ingeniously designed, featuring at least one inclined groove. The axis of the inclined groove forms a specific angle with the horizontal plane, ranging from 0° to 90°, specifically 30°, 45°, 60°, etc. This unique structural design enables efficient force conversion and transmission between the inclined track and the horizontal drive mechanism 302, thus providing a solid foundation for the smooth operation of the entire auxiliary docking device.

[0035] The horizontal drive mechanism 302 mainly includes a sliding part and a power input part. The sliding part consists of a slide rail 3021 and a slider 3022, which can slide smoothly on the slide rail 3021. The power input part is mounted on the slider 3022 and specifically includes a connecting plate 3023 fixedly connected to the slider 3022, and an operating handle 3024 and a guide shaft 3025 disposed on the connecting plate 3023. The guide shaft 3025 is located on the side facing the second connector 202, while the operating handle 3024 is located on the other side. The operating handle 3024 is a folding handle, a design that not only saves space but also facilitates operation. The guide shaft 3025 can be precisely slidably embedded in an inclined groove with a specially designed groove profile. This unique structure generates an interaction force with the guide shaft 3025, effectively amplifying the thrust applied to the operating handle 3024. Through this ingenious mechanical design, the originally large pull force of the connector is transformed into a smaller thrust that can be easily operated by hand, thereby greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of operation and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0036] The device is also equipped with a guide positioning structure 4, designed to ensure the precise positioning and stable operation of the docking assembly 1 during vertical movement. The guide positioning structure 4 includes multiple sets of guide pins 401 and guide pin seats 402. The guide pins 401 are fixed to the first surface of the base assembly 2, while the guide pin seats 402 are correspondingly located on the second surface of the docking assembly 1 and cooperate with the guide pins 401. This cooperation allows the docking assembly 1 to move vertically within the defined range of the guide pin seats 402, thereby ensuring precise alignment of the first connector 101 and the second connector 202 during docking and disengagement. In this embodiment, the guide positioning structure 4 includes four sets of guide pins 401 and guide pin seats 402, which are located on both axial sides of the transmission mating structure 301. This layout enhances the structural stability of the device. During operation, when the guide shaft 3025 is at the top of the inclined groove, the guide pins 401 engage with the inside of the guide pin seats 402, at which point the first connector 101 and the second connector 202 complete docking. Conversely, when the guide shaft 3025 is at the bottom of the inclined groove, the end of the guide pin 401 is flush with the top of the guide pin seat 402, at which point the first connector 101 and the second connector 202 are smoothly separated.

[0037] The specific operation method of the auxiliary docking device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0038] 1. Docking Operation: First, bend and pull out the folding handles on both sides of the base assembly 2 from the folded state to make it operable. Push the folding handles horizontally to move the guide shaft 3025 within the inclined groove of the inclined track. As the guide shaft 3025 moves within the inclined groove, it exerts a downward force on the inclined track. This downward force is transmitted through the inclined track, pulling the docking assembly 1 downward vertically. As the docking assembly 1 moves vertically downward, the first connector 101 gradually approaches the second connector 202 and achieves docking. When the connecting plate 3023 is pushed to the limit position by the operating handle 3024, the first connector 101 and the second connector 202 complete precise docking.

[0039] 2. Separation Operation: When it is necessary to detach the docking assembly 1 from the base assembly 2, pull the folding handle out of the folded state again, placing it in the operable position. Push the folding handle in the opposite direction of the docking action, causing the guide shaft 3025 to move in the opposite direction within the inclined groove of the inclined track. As the guide shaft 3025 moves in the opposite direction within the inclined groove, it exerts an upward force on the inclined track. This upward force is transmitted through the inclined track, pushing the docking assembly 1 vertically upward. As the docking assembly 1 moves vertically upward, the first connector 101 gradually separates from the second connector 202, achieving the pull-out action. When the connecting plate 3023 is pushed to the disengagement end limit position under the action of the folding handle, the first connector 101 and the second connector 202 are completely disengaged. At this point, there is no longer any connection between the docking assembly 1 and the base assembly 2, and the docking assembly 1 can be moved out vertically as a whole for subsequent operations or maintenance.

[0040] The entire operation process is simple and efficient. Through ingenious mechanical design and structural layout, the connectors can be quickly connected and disconnected, greatly improving the convenience and reliability of operation.

[0041] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
