Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signal connector technology, specifically a multi-core floating signal connector. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern communication technology, signal connectors, as key components for communication connections, are widely used in the physical connection between network devices. Traditional signal connectors consist of several parts, including terminals, insulating components, and a plastic housing. The assembly process typically involves first inserting the terminals into the insulating component and bending them, then snapping the insulating component into the plastic housing. At this point, the terminals are simultaneously inserted into the sockets within the plastic housing, completing the connector assembly.

[0003] However, blind mating often occurs when using signal connectors. Therefore, the assembled connectors must have a certain degree of floating capability to avoid damage caused by hard impacts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-core floating signal connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A multi-core floating signal connector includes a connector base and a connector head, wherein the connector head and the connector base are mated to form a connector capable of transmitting electrical signals;

[0007] The connector includes a connector box, which is integrally formed with the connector and fixed to the rear end of the connector. Pins are inserted at the rear end of the connector box.

[0008] It also includes a floating component, which is assembled to the front end of the connecting box by two fixing bolts. The outer side of the floating component is made of a rectangular plastic frame, and the interior of the floating component is provided with guide posts that are staggered left and right.

[0009] The floating assembly also includes an internally installed movable plate. The guide column is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate and assembled together with the connecting seat by fixing bolts. The movable plate has a socket for mating pins installed in the middle position. Movable grooves are opened on both sides of the movable plate. The movable groove is a U-shaped groove with an inner diameter that can accommodate the diameter of the fixing bolt.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the connector includes a connecting panel, a guide groove is fixedly installed at the rear end of the connecting panel, and a guide hole is provided inside the guide groove.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a sealing plate is provided between the connecting box and the pin. The surface of the sealing plate has multiple holes for inserting the pin and extending into the interior of the connecting box. A fixed sealing ring is wrapped around the outer side of the sealing plate.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a sealing ring is fitted on the outer side of the bottom end of the connecting box, which also serves to prevent water and dust. Reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected inside the connecting box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. When this utility model is used, the movable plate can move within a certain range during the insertion process under the limiting action of the rectangular frame outside the floating component and the fixing bolts on both sides. When blindly inserting the connector, the position of the connector head can be initially found through the two guide posts. Then, with the help of its own floating, the system position deviation is absorbed, and the connector seat and connector head are safely and reliably matched.

[0015] 2. When this utility model is used, the sealing plate can play a role in waterproofing and dustproofing when it is installed inside the connecting box. At the same time, the sealing ring on the outside of the sealing plate is made of rubber. Its elasticity can further enhance the waterproofness of the sealing plate when the sealing plate is installed in the connecting box and the sealing ring is squeezed by the box body. At the same time, the friction between the sealing ring and the box body can also strengthen the fixing strength between the sealing plate and the box body. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] In this invention, the term "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or description." Any embodiment described as "exemplary" in this invention is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use this invention. Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this invention with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the invention, a multi-core floating signal connector includes a connector base 1 and a connector head. The connector head and the connector base 1 are mated to form a connector capable of transmitting electrical signals.

[0026] The connector 1 includes a connector box 2, which is integrally formed with the connector 1 and fixed at the rear end of the connector 1. Pins 3 are inserted at the rear end of the connector box 2, and the pins 3 are used to transmit electrical signals during the operation of the connector.

[0027] It also includes a floating component 8, which is assembled to the front end of the connector box 2 by two fixing bolts 4. The outer side of the floating component 8 is made of a rectangular plastic frame. The floating component 8 has guide posts 5 staggered left and right inside. The front end of the guide post 5 is designed with a ball head, which makes it easy for the connector to be smoothly connected to the other end of the connector during blind mating.

[0028] The floating assembly 8 also includes an internally installed movable plate 81. The guide post 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 81 and assembled together with the connecting seat 1 via fixing bolts 4. A socket for the mating pin 3 is installed in the middle of the movable plate 81. Movable grooves 82 are formed on both sides of the movable plate 81. Each movable groove 82 is a U-shaped groove with an inner diameter sufficient to accommodate the diameter of the fixing bolt 4. Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that, under the limiting action of the rectangular frame outside the floating component 8 and the fixing bolts 4 on both sides, the movable plate 81 can move within a certain range during the insertion process. When blindly inserting the connector, the position of the connector head can be initially found through the two guide posts 5, and then the position deviation of the system can be absorbed by its own floating to safely and reliably match the connector seat 1 and the connector head.

[0029] The connector includes a connecting panel 6, and a guide groove 7 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the connecting panel 6. A guide hole 71 is provided inside the guide groove 7. The inner diameter of the guide hole 71 can accommodate the insertion of the guide post 5. When the connector 1 and the connector are mated, the guide post 5 completes the connection between the connector and the connector 1 by mating and inserting into the inside of the guide hole 71.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, a sealing plate 9 is provided between the connecting box 2 and the pin 3. The surface of the sealing plate 9 has multiple holes for inserting the pin and extending into the interior of the connecting box 2. A fixed sealing ring 91 is wrapped around the outside of the sealing plate 9. When the sealing plate 9 is installed inside the connecting box 2, the sealing plate 9 can play a role in waterproofing and dustproofing. At the same time, the sealing ring 91 on the outside of the sealing plate 9 is made of rubber. Its elasticity allows the sealing ring 91 to be squeezed by the box body when the sealing plate 9 is installed into the connecting box, which can further enhance the waterproofness of the sealing plate 9. At the same time, the friction between the sealing ring 91 and the box body also strengthens the fixing strength between the sealing plate 9 and the box body.

[0031] A sealing ring 21 is fitted on the outer side of the bottom end of the connecting box 2, which also serves to prevent water and dust. A reinforcing rib 22 is fixedly connected inside the connecting box 2. The reinforcing rib 22 can increase the strength of the connecting box 2 and also limit the sealing plate 9.

[0032] 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.
