[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. 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.

[0031] This application provides a quick-release relay plastic housing, which solves the problems of existing relay housings, which are usually fixed with bolts. Over-tightening can easily damage the plastic housing, resulting in poor subsequent fixing effect. At the same time, during maintenance, a special screwdriver is required for disassembly and assembly, which is very inconvenient.

[0032] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0033] This utility model discloses a quick-release relay plastic housing.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] According to the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a lower housing 1 and an upper housing 2 installed on the top of the lower housing 1. A quick-release connector 3 is installed between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1. The quick-release connector 3 includes:

[0036] The fixing seat 31 is integrally formed on the lower shell seat 1;

[0037] The expansion tube 35 is fixedly installed on the side of the upper housing 2, and the bottom end of the expansion tube 35 is movably inserted into the fixed base 31.

[0038] The expansion top shaft 36 is slidably disposed in the expansion clamp tube 35 and is used to push the bottom end of the expansion clamp tube 35 outward so that the expansion clamp tube 35 is movably engaged with the fixed seat 31.

[0039] Spring 310 is disposed on the outer surface of the upper end of expansion top shaft 36 and is used to keep expansion top shaft 36 inserted in expansion clamp tube 35. Expansion clamp tube 35 is made entirely of shape memory engineering plastic.

[0040] The lower shell 1 has an integrally formed support frame 12 on the outer top of its top, and the bottom of the upper shell 2 abuts against the top of the support frame 12.

[0041] A sealing ring 13 is fixedly bonded to the top of the support frame 12. The sealing ring 13 is used to provide a soft seal to the bottom of the upper housing 2.

[0042] A fixing tube 33 is fixedly installed on the side of the upper housing 2, and an expansion clamp tube 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing tube 33.

[0043] The fixed tube 33 has a movable chamber 39 inside, and the expansion top shaft 36 and the spring 310 are both located in the movable chamber 39.

[0044] A retaining ring 38 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the expansion top shaft 36. One end of the spring 310 abuts against the top of the movable chamber 39, and the other end of the spring 310 abuts against the retaining ring 38.

[0045] The top of the expansion shaft 36 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 37, and a connecting frame 32 is slidably provided on the outer wall of the upper housing 2. The connecting block 37 and the connecting frame 32 are integrally formed, and handle grooves 34 are provided on the bottom of both sides of the connecting frame 32.

[0046] The mounting base 31 has a slot 311 inside, and the expansion tube 35 is movably inserted into the slot 311.

[0047] The expansion tube 35 includes;

[0048] The tube body 351 is conical in shape;

[0049] The inner conical groove 352 is formed in the tube body 351;

[0050] A contraction joint 353 is formed on the side wall of the pipe body 351 and extends to the bottom end of the pipe body 351.

[0051] The fixing part 354 is integrally formed at the bottom end of the tube body 351. The bottom end of the slot 311 has a slot 312, and the fixing part 354 is movably engaged in the slot 312.

[0052] Working principle: During installation, the connecting frame 32 is pulled upward along the upper housing 2, causing the connecting frame 32 to drive the expansion top shaft 36 to move upward. This causes the retaining ring 38 to push the bottom end of the spring 310 upward, compressing the spring 310. At this time, the expansion top shaft 36 contracts upward inside the expansion clamp tube 35, and the bottom end of the expansion clamp tube 35 naturally contracts inward to return to its original position. The expansion clamp tube 35 is then inserted into the fixing seat 31, so that the bottom end of the expansion clamp tube 35 is inside the clamping groove 312. The expansion top shaft 36 is then pressed downward, causing the expansion top shaft 36 to enter the expansion clamp tube 35, causing the fixing part 354 at the bottom end of the expansion clamp tube 35 to move outward. This causes the entire expansion clamp tube 35 to be clamped inside the fixing seat 31, and under the action of the spring 310, it remains in a clamped and fixed state.

[0053] During maintenance, by pulling the connecting bracket 32 ​​upward along the upper housing 2, the connecting bracket 32 ​​drives the expansion top shaft 36 to move upward. At this time, the bottom end of the expansion clamp tube 35 naturally retracts inward to restore its original shape. Then, the entire upper housing 2 is pulled off the fixed seat 31 for easy disassembly and assembly.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] According to the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, more specifically, based on Embodiment 1, the bottom outer side of the fixing part 354 is provided with a beveled surface 355, the top of the fixing part 354 is provided with a horizontal surface 357, and an arc surface 356 is provided at the connection between the beveled surface 355 and the horizontal surface 357.

[0056] Working principle: During installation, when the entire expansion clamp tube 35 is inserted into the fixing seat 31, the beveled surface 355 at the bottom acts as a guide. When the tube is in place, as the expansion top shaft 36 enters the expansion clamp tube 35, the fixing part 354 at the bottom of the expansion clamp tube 35 moves outward. At this time, the horizontal surface 357 of the fixing part 354 abuts against the top of the groove 312, thus preventing backflow. During disassembly, as the expansion top shaft 36 is pulled out from the expansion clamp tube 35, the fixing part 354 at the bottom of the expansion clamp tube 35 naturally contracts towards the center. At this time, the arc surface 356 is aligned with the bottom opening of the slot 311, allowing the fixing part 354 to move upward smoothly with the tube body 351 and thus detach from the fixing seat 31.

[0057] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
