Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data center equipment technology, and more specifically, to a data center industrial connector. Background Technology

[0002] Data centers contain a large number of devices that are connected by signal cables for information exchange between them. Industrial connectors are the devices that enable the connection between the cables and the devices.

[0003] Common industrial connectors have a relatively simple structure, using a large plug to achieve a relatively stable connection. However, this type of connection only improves stability by increasing friction and cannot completely prevent the connection from breaking. During use, the heat emitted by the equipment over a long period of time may soften the material of the connection structure, making the connection prone to loosening. If the connector is subjected to a large impact from the side in the working environment, the connection structure is more likely to slip off. Moreover, when using various equipment, depending on the placement of the equipment and the space provided for installation, the wires of some connectors cannot extend flexibly in other directions but need to be bent at a large angle to connect with surrounding equipment. The large bend at the connection point may cause the wire to break due to insufficient ductility of the wire shell, exposing the internal connecting wires and affecting the operating safety of the equipment. In addition, the common industrial connector structure has a direct connection between the male and female heads, leaving an exposed gap in the middle after connection, exposing the connection structure. During operation, dust may fall between the male and female heads, affecting the connection and causing instability between the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a data center industrial connector to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art of industrial connection equipment having a simple structure and limited effectiveness.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a data center industrial connector, including a male head and a female head, which mate with each other. The male head has insertion heads at both ends, and the female head has insertion frames at both ends. The insertion heads mate with the insertion frames. A limiting block is slidably connected inside the insertion frame. A control block is provided on the insertion frame. The control block mates with the limiting block. A limiting groove is opened on the insertion head, and the limiting block mates with the limiting groove.

[0008] The male connector has a rotating frame at one end, and a first rotating tube at one end of the rotating frame. The rotating frame is rotatably engaged with the male connector through the rotating tube. The rotating frame has a rotating head, and the rotating head has second rotating tubes at both ends. The rotating head is rotatably engaged with the rotating frame through the second rotating tubes. The male connector, the rotating frame, and the interior of the rotating head are connected through their engagement with the first and second rotating tubes.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that one end of the male connector is provided with an insertion part, the plug-in portion of the male connector is provided at the front end of the insertion part, one end of the female connector is provided with an access frame, the insertion part cooperates with the access frame, the insertion part is provided with a sealing ring, the access frame is provided with a sealing groove, and the sealing ring cooperates with the sealing groove to prevent the influence of dust and other foreign objects.

[0010] The present invention is further provided with a shielding cover rotatably connected to the upper end of the access frame for dust prevention.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a locking block is provided on the inner side of the lower end of the shielding cover, a first locking groove is provided at the lower end of the access frame, and a second locking groove is provided on the male head, so as to stabilize the shielding cover.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a data center industrial connector with the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The male and female connectors provide a basic connection structure. The insertion head and insertion frame provide an additional insertion structure. The control block, limiting block, and limiting slot provide an additional limiting structure. The movement direction of the limiting block is perpendicular to the insertion head, thus providing a limiting structure different from the friction structure, so that the connector connection remains stable and slippage is prevented.

[0019] 2. An adjustable guiding structure is provided by the cooperation of the rotating frame, rotating head and male connector. The connection is kept stable by the cooperation of the first rotating tube and the second rotating tube.

[0020] 3. The insertion part and insertion frame work together to enrich the connection structure between the male and female connectors, providing shielding capabilities to prevent the connection point between the male and female connectors from being directly exposed to the outside. The sealing effect is further improved by the cooperation of the sealing ring and sealing groove, preventing external dust or other influences from interfering with the male and female connectors, and improving the stability of transmission when the male and female connectors are connected.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 A data center industrial connector includes a male connector 1 and a female connector 2, which are mated. The male connector 1 has insertion heads 3 at both ends, and the female connector 2 has insertion frames 4 at both ends. The insertion heads 3 are mated with the insertion frames 4. A limiting block 5 is slidably connected inside the insertion frame 4. A control block 6 is provided on the insertion frame 4. The control block 6 is mated with the limiting block 5. A limiting groove 7 is opened on the insertion head 3, and the limiting block 5 is mated with the limiting groove 7.

[0031] The male connector 1 has a rotating frame 8 at one end and a first rotating tube 9 at the other end. The rotating frame 8 is rotatably engaged with the male connector 1 through the rotating tube. The rotating frame 8 has a rotating head 10, and the rotating head 10 has a second rotating tube 11 at both ends. The rotating head 10 is rotatably engaged with the rotating frame 8 through the second rotating tube 11. The male connector 1, the rotating frame 8, and the interior of the rotating head 10 are connected through their engagement with the first rotating tube 9 and the second rotating tube 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are used to form an industrial connector. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are combined, the insertion head 3 is inserted into the insertion frame 4. The control block 6 controls the limiting block 5 to rise. After the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 2, the insertion head 3 will be fully inserted into the insertion frame 4. Under the action of the control block 6, the limiting block 5 is inserted into the limiting groove 7, which locks the insertion head 3, thereby fixing the male connector 1 to the female connector 2.

[0033] More specifically, when arranging the wiring, the angles of the rotating frame 8 and the rotating head 10 can be adjusted according to the wiring requirements. The rotating frame 8 rotates by engaging with the male connector 1 through the first rotating tube 9. Then, the rotating head 10 rotates to both sides by engaging with the rotating frame 8 through the second rotating tube 11. The first rotating tube 9 and the second rotating tube 11 are then connected to form a connection between the male connector 1, the rotating frame 8, and the rotating head 10. By controlling the rotation amplitude of the rotating frame 8 and the rotating head 10, the wires inside the male connector 1 are guided. This protects the wires while guiding them in the appropriate direction to accommodate the bending requirements of wires in confined spaces, preventing damage to the connection point between the male connector 1 and the wire casing due to excessive bending.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-3As one embodiment of dust prevention for connection: the male connector 1 is provided with an insertion part 12 at one end, and the plug-in part of the male connector 1 is located at the front end of the insertion part 12. The female connector 2 is provided with an access frame 13 at one end. The insertion part 12 and the access frame 13 cooperate. The insertion part 12 is provided with a sealing ring 14, and the access frame 13 is provided with a sealing groove 15. The sealing ring 14 and the sealing groove 15 cooperate.

[0035] Specifically, when the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are joined, the insertion part 12 will be inserted into the insertion frame 4, and the sealing ring 14 will be tightly attached to the sealing groove 15. The cooperation between the sealing ring 14 and the sealing groove 15 provides a sealing structure, and the cooperation between the insertion part 12 and the insertion frame 4 provides a space to prevent external dust from entering the connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 and causing damage.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-3 As a further implementation of the dustproof mechanism: a shielding cover 16 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the access frame 13.

[0037] Specifically, when the female connector 2 is not connected to the male connector 1, the shielding cover 16 is rotated so that the shielding cover 16 blocks the front end of the insertion frame 4 to prevent dust from causing contamination when the device is not in use.

[0038] Please see Figure 1-3 As a further embodiment of the shielding cover: a locking block 17 is provided on the inner side of the lower end of the shielding cover 16, a first locking groove 18 is provided on the lower end of the access frame 13, and a second locking groove 19 is provided on the male head 1.

[0039] Specifically, when the cover 16 is fastened onto the insertion frame 4, the locking block 17 will engage with the first slot 18, providing a fixing force through its own elastic material, thus keeping the cover 16 stable. When the male connector 1 is connected to the female connector 2, the open cover 16 engages with the second slot 19 through the locking block 17, thereby transforming the cover 16 into a horizontal tensioning structure, making the connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 more secure.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 As a further implementation of the control block: the control block 6 is rotatably engaged with the insertion frame 4, one end of the control block 6 is engaged with the limiting block 5, and the other end is provided with a pressure spring 20.

[0041] Specifically, the pressure spring 20 pushes one end of the control block 6 to make the control block 6 rotate, and applies pressure to the limiting block 5 through the other end to make the limiting block 5 cooperate with the insertion head 3.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a further embodiment of the insertion head: one end of the insertion head 3 is provided with a first inclined surface 21, and one end of the limiting block 5 is provided with a second inclined surface 22.

[0043] Specifically, when the insertion head 3 is inserted, the first inclined surface 21 and the second inclined surface 22 contact with the limiting block 5 to apply a pushing force, causing the limiting block 5 to rise, thereby allowing the insertion head 3 to be inserted deeply.

[0044] Please see Figure 3 As a further implementation of the insertion frame: a limiting groove 23 is provided in the insertion frame 4, and the limiting block 5 slides in conjunction with the limiting groove 23.

[0045] Specifically, by limiting the slide groove 23, the limiting block 5 slides along the limiting slide groove 23 to maintain stable movement.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As a further embodiment of the rotating tube: both the first rotating tube 9 and the second rotating tube 11 are provided with a limiting ring 24.

[0047] Specifically, the structure provided by the limiting ring 24 enables a stable connection between the first rotating tube 9 and the second rotating tube 11.

[0048] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment:

[0049] An industrial connector is formed by the mating of male connector 1 and female connector 2. When assembling male connector 1 and female connector 2, insert head 3 is inserted into insert frame 4. During insertion, the contact between the first inclined surface 21 and the second inclined surface 22 causes insert head 3 to engage with limiting block 5, applying a pushing force. Guided by the inclined surfaces, the pushing force is redirected, and the limiting groove 23 restricts the sliding movement of limiting block 5, causing it to rise and release the obstruction, allowing insert head 3 to be inserted deeply. After male connector 1 is firmly inserted into female connector 2, insert head 3 is fully inserted into insert frame 4. Pressure spring 20 provides a push to one end of control block 6, causing control block 6 to rotate. The other end applies pressure to limiting block 5, causing limiting block 5 to engage with insert head 3, inserting limiting block 5 into limiting groove 7 and locking insert head 3. This fixes male connector 1 in place by female connector 2. The restriction of insert head 3 by limiting block 5 makes the connection between male connector 1 and female connector 2 more stable. Additionally, [further details about the connection are missing]. The open cover 16 engages with the second slot 19 via the locking block 17, transforming the cover 16 into a lateral tensioning structure. This makes the connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 more secure. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are joined, the insertion part 12 is inserted into the insertion frame 4, and the sealing ring 14 is pressed against the sealing groove 15. The engagement of the sealing ring 14 and the sealing groove 15 provides a sealing structure, and the engagement of the insertion part 12 and the insertion frame 4 provides a space to prevent external dust from entering the connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 and causing damage. When disassembly is required, pressing one end of the control block 6 causes the other end of the control block 6 to pull the limiting block 5 upward, thereby releasing the restriction and allowing the male connector 1 to be removed. When the female connector 2 is idle, the cover 16 is rotated so that it blocks the front end of the insertion frame 4, causing the locking block 17 to engage with the first slot 18. The elastic material provides a fixing ability, keeping the cover 16 stable and preventing dust contamination when idle.

[0050] When arranging the wires, the angles of the rotating frame 8 and the rotating head 10 can be adjusted according to the wiring requirements. The rotating frame 8 rotates by engaging with the male connector 1 through the first rotating tube 9. Then, the rotating head 10 rotates to both sides by engaging with the rotating frame 8 through the second rotating tube 11. The first rotating tube 9 and the second rotating tube 11 are connected to form a connection, making the internal parts of the male connector 1, the rotating frame 8, and the rotating head 10 interconnected. By controlling the rotation amplitude of the rotating frame 8 and the rotating head 10, the wires inside the male connector 1 are guided. While protecting the wires, the wires are guided to the appropriate direction to meet the bending requirements of wires in confined spaces. This prevents damage to the connection point between the male connector 1 and the wire casing due to excessive bending angle. Furthermore, the structure provided by the limiting ring 24 ensures a stable connection between the first rotating tube 9 and the second rotating tube 11.

[0051] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model.
