[0002] M12 connectors are mainly used in outdoor light boxes, construction machinery, steel production equipment, power equipment, mining machinery, marine machinery, automotive equipment, automated production equipment, temperature transmitters, hydraulic machine tools, sensors, solenoid valves, instruments, pressure transmitters, etc. The design environment requirements for M12 connector products are very demanding, and the product performance and testing standards have passed international quality testing standards certification. At the same time, M12 connectors can also be used for field sensor and brake connection. Currently, M12 connectors are mainly used in relatively quiet operating environments where the requirements for signal and current transmission are not high.

[0003] An M12 connector structure with publication number CN216794046U exhibits the following defects during use:

[0004] This utility model has a simple structure, and the encapsulation connection of the contact parts no longer uses the conventional potting process, which can realize the later maintenance and upkeep of the connector. Through structural improvements, it is easy to operate, improves the installation service life, and reduces production costs. However, in actual use, the connection method is generally to manually or by twisting the connection part so that the male and female ends are connected together through the inner and outer wall threads. However, this method not only requires tools, but also takes a lot of time. If there are many connectors to be connected, it will take a lot of extra time. Therefore, we propose a quick-connect M12 connector. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, two contact blocks are fixedly installed on the outer wall surfaces of both the first connecting sleeve and the second connecting sleeve, and the outer wall surfaces of the contact blocks have a plurality of protrusions.

[0012] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0013] 1. By setting the first limiting hole, and through the design of the first limiting hole and the limiting rod, when the first connecting sleeve and the connecting tube are connected by the sleeve design, the even distribution on one side of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate can guide and limit the installation position. Compared with the threaded connection, it is not only more convenient, but also the stability will not be compromised.

[0014] 2. By setting up a baffle plate, the design of the baffle plate and the baffle block allows for normal insertion and fixation due to the opposing bevels of the baffle plate and the baffle block. After insertion, the opposing right-angled sides of the baffle plate and the baffle block will block the pulling action, ensuring the stability of the device connection. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] refer to Figures 1-3 A quick-connect M12 connector includes a first protective sleeve 1, a first connecting sleeve 2 fixedly installed on one side of the first protective sleeve 1, a second protective sleeve 3 provided at one end of the first protective sleeve 1, a second connecting sleeve 4 fixedly installed at one end of the second protective sleeve 3, a connecting tube 5 fixedly installed on one side of the second connecting sleeve 4, the first protective sleeve 1 and the second protective sleeve 3 being sleeved together by the first connecting sleeve 2 and the connecting tube 5, a first connecting plate 6 fixedly installed inside the first connecting sleeve 2, and a plurality of first limiting holes formed on one side of the first connecting plate 6. 7. Several first limiting holes 7 have the same center of the corresponding circle. A second connecting plate 8 is fixedly installed inside the connecting pipe 5. Several limiting rods 9 are fixedly installed on one side of the second connecting plate 8. The cross sections of several limiting rods 9 have the same center of the corresponding circle. Through the design of the first limiting holes 7 and the limiting rods 9, when the first connecting sleeve 2 and the connecting pipe 5 are connected by a sleeve design, they can guide and limit the installation position by being evenly distributed on one side of the first connecting plate 6 and the second connecting plate 8. Compared with the threaded connection, it is not only more convenient, but also the stability will not be compromised.

[0021] A baffle plate 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner side of the first limiting hole 7, and a baffle block 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the limiting rod 9. Through the design of the baffle plate 10 and the baffle block 11, during insertion, the inclined surfaces of the baffle plate 10 and the baffle block 11 face each other, allowing for normal insertion and fixation. After insertion, the right-angled sides of the baffle plate 10 and the baffle block 11 face each other, blocking the pulling action and ensuring the stability of the device connection. One end of the first protective sleeve 1 and the second protective sleeve 3 is secured with a cable body 12. A connecting block 13 is fixedly installed inside the first connecting sleeve 2. Several second limiting holes 14 are opened on one side of both the connecting block 13 and the second connecting plate 8. The design of the second limiting holes 14 allows for the limitation of several cables inside the connecting block 13. On the one hand, it facilitates direct cable connection between the cables; on the other hand, the evenly spaced second limiting holes 14 ensure that the cables are properly positioned. In a corresponding manner, a first positioning block 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first connecting sleeve 2, and a slot is provided on one side of the first positioning block 15. A second positioning block 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second connecting sleeve 4, and a positioning rod 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the second positioning block 16. Through the design of the positioning rod 17, it can cooperate with the slot on one side of the first positioning block 15, so that the first limiting hole 7 and the limiting rod 9 can be aligned and inserted during connection, ensuring that the first protective sleeve 1 and the second protective sleeve 3 can be properly inserted and limited. Two contact blocks 18 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of both the first connecting sleeve 2 and the second connecting sleeve 4. The outer wall of the contact block 18 has several protrusions. Through the design of the contact block 18, the friction of the contact part can be increased when the first connecting sleeve 2 and the second connecting sleeve 4 are inserted and removed, avoiding the problem of easy slippage caused by the smooth surface, and increasing the difficulty of inserting and removing the first connecting sleeve 2 and the second connecting sleeve 4.

[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
