Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of connectors, and more particularly to a connector socket and a fixing device for the connector socket. Background Technology

[0002] In modern aircraft seat design, the mounting of connector sockets (such as power sockets and data interfaces) is a crucial component in ensuring passenger comfort and equipment functionality. With the increasing popularity of air travel and rising passenger demands for comfort, connector sockets on aircraft seats not only need to provide stable electrical connections but also require convenient installation for easy maintenance and replacement.

[0003] Currently, common technical solutions for securing connector sockets on aircraft seats mainly include bolt fixing and clip fixing. Bolt fixing uses threaded connections to secure the connector body to the seat structure. While this offers high stability, the installation process is cumbersome, requires specialized tools, and is time-consuming. Clip fixing uses elastic clips to secure the connector socket to the seat; however, long-term use and frequent insertion and removal can lead to wear and loosening of the clip structure, thus affecting the socket's stability and lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a connector socket that is easy to install and a fixing device for the connector socket. Utility Model Content

[0045] The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0046] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may also have an intervening component. When a component is considered to be "placed" on another component, it can be directly placed on the other component or may also have an intervening component. The terms "top," "bottom," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "back," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.

[0047] Embodiments of this application provide a fixing device for a connector socket, which is inserted into the connection slot of an aircraft seat during use, including:

[0048] The connector body has a mounting surface that is opposite to the connecting groove, and the mounting surface has a mounting groove that is directly opposite the connecting groove.

[0049] A fixing device is provided in the mounting groove. The fixing device includes a first fixing component and a second fixing component. The first fixing component is fixed to the connector. One end of the second fixing component is rotatably connected to the first fixing component, and the other end can extend out of the mounting groove for insertion into the connecting groove when extended, so as to fix the seat and the connector.

[0050] The aforementioned connector socket fixing device is fixedly connected to the connector via a first fixing component, thereby mounting the fixing device on the connector. A second fixing component is rotatably connected to the first fixing component at one end. When the first and second fixing components rotate, the other end of the second fixing component extends out of the mounting groove and inserts into the seat's connection groove, providing a fixing point between the connector and the seat. This simplifies the installation process, saves time and tool costs, and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0051] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0052] according to Figures 1-6 This application provides a fixing device 100 for a connector socket 200, which is inserted into the connection slot of an aircraft seat during use, and includes: a connector and a fixing device 20.

[0053] The connector has a mounting surface 11 opposite to the connecting groove, and the mounting surface 11 has a mounting groove 12, which is directly opposite the connecting groove. A fixing device 20 is disposed in the mounting groove 12. The fixing device 20 includes a first fixing component 21 and a second fixing component 22. The first fixing component 21 is fixed to the connector. One end of the second fixing component 22 is rotatably connected to the first fixing component 21, and the other end can extend out of the mounting groove 12 for insertion into the connecting groove when extended, so as to fix the seat and the connector.

[0054] Specifically, aviation sockets are typically equipped on aircraft seats for passengers to charge their electronic devices (such as laptops, mobile phones, tablets, etc.). In the embodiments of this application, the connector socket is inserted into the aircraft seat, and the seat has a socket groove for installation, which is used to embed the connector socket of this application entirely into the socket groove. Furthermore, a corresponding connecting groove is provided in the socket groove, corresponding to the mounting groove 12 of the connector socket of this application, thereby ensuring that the fixing device 20 installed in the mounting groove 12 can be accurately aligned with the connecting groove, facilitating installation and fixation. The connecting groove is used to clamp the second fixing component 22, allowing the aircraft seat to insert the second fixing component 22 on the connector into the connecting groove and clamp it against the second fixing component 22. Simultaneously, the mounting groove 12 also provides the necessary space for the rotation of the second fixing component 22.

[0055] Furthermore, the first fixing component 21 is fixed to the connector via a threaded connection, providing a stable support base and ensuring the stability of the fixing device 20. The second fixing component 22, through a rotatable connection with the first fixing component 21, can flexibly rotate on the first fixing component 21. During rotation, a portion of the second fixing component 22 can extend or retract into the mounting groove 12, thereby allowing the second fixing component 22 to extend into the connection groove, facilitating connector installation and ensuring a secure connection between the connector and the seat. This design allows the fixing device 20 to connect and disconnect the connector and the aircraft seat through a simple rotation operation, without the need for special tools, thus improving installation convenience.

[0056] In summary, align the mounting surface 11 of the connector socket with the connecting slot of the aircraft seat and insert it. After insertion, rotate the second fixing component 22 so that one end of the second fixing component 22 extends out of the mounting slot 12 and inserts into the connecting slot. After the second fixing component 22 is inserted, a reliable fixed connection is formed between the connector socket and the aircraft seat.

[0057] In one specific embodiment, the mounting groove 12 has a fixing surface 121, which is arranged horizontally and faces outward;

[0058] The fixing surface 121 has a fixing hole 122, which is connected to the mounting groove 12 so that the fixing device 20 passes through the fixing hole 122 and extends into the mounting groove 12.

[0059] Specifically, the horizontal direction is the orientation of the connector socket and the socket slot in the aircraft seat. In this horizontal direction, the connector socket is installed within the socket slot of the aircraft seat, with the socket opening of the connector body 10 facing outwards. The fixing surface 121 is a wall of the mounting groove 12. When the mounting groove 12 is aligned with the connecting groove of the aircraft seat, the opening of the mounting groove 12 is aligned with the connecting groove, thus the fixing surface 121 is set as a wall of the mounting groove 12 facing outwards. Simultaneously, the fixing surface 121 provides a direct access path for the installation of the fixing device 20. Its horizontal orientation facilitates installation by the operator.

[0060] Furthermore, a fixing hole 122 is provided on the fixing surface 121, so that the fixing hole 122 is connected to the mounting groove 12, allowing the first fixing component 21 to pass through the fixing hole 122 and extend into the mounting groove 12. The fixing hole 122 serves as a channel for the fixing device 20 to pass through, ensuring that the fixing device 20 can accurately enter the mounting groove 12.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, the first fixing component 21 includes: a fixing member 211, one end of which is fixed to the fixing hole 122 and the other end extends into the mounting groove 12; a limiting member 212, which is disposed in the mounting groove 12, the limiting member 212 being sleeved on the fixing member 211 and rotatably connected to the fixing member 211; wherein, the second fixing component 22 is sleeved on the fixing member 211 and sandwiched between the limiting member 212 and the fixing surface 121.

[0062] Specifically, the fastener 211 is a screw, and the fixing hole 122 has a threaded structure that matches the fastener 211, allowing the fastener 211 to extend into the fixing hole 122 via a threaded connection and be fixedly connected to the fixing hole 122. The other end of the fastener 211 extends into the mounting groove 12 for installing the second fixing component 22. At the same time, the design of the fastener 211 and the fixing hole 122 simplifies the installation process and reduces installation difficulty.

[0063] Furthermore, the limiting member 212 is a nut, which matches the fixing member 211. The limiting member 212 acts as a limiting device for the rotation of the second fixing component 22, ensuring that the second fixing component 22 will not detach from the fixing member 211 during rotation. Simultaneously, the limiting member 212 also provides necessary support for the connection between the second fixing component 22 and the first fixing component 21. Moreover, the limiting member 212 can be adjusted according to the thread structure to allow it to move up and down along the fixing member 211, further adjusting the position of the second fixing component 22 on the fixing member 211.

[0064] Furthermore, the second fixing component 22, as a key component for installing and fixing the connector to the aircraft seat, achieves a reliable connection between the connector socket and the aircraft seat connection slot through cooperation with the first fixing component 21 (fixing member 211 and limiting member 212). At the same time, the clamping design of the second fixing component 22 also ensures its stability and reliability during rotation, avoiding connection failure caused by the second fixing component 22 falling off.

[0065] In summary, when installing the first fixing component 21, ensure that the fixing member 211 is correctly fixed on the fixing hole 122 and extends into the mounting groove 12. First, fit the second fixing component 22 onto the fixing member 211, then fit the limiting member 212 onto the fixing member 211, and adjust the position of the limiting member 212 so that it plays a limiting role within the mounting groove 12.

[0066] In one specific embodiment, the second fixing component 22 includes: a blocking member 221, including a rotating part 221a and a blocking part 221b extending along the length direction of the rotating part 221a, the rotating part 221a being rotatably sleeved on the fixing member 211 and abutting against the limiting member 212, the blocking part 221b being able to extend out of the mounting groove 12; and a spring member 222, which is arranged around the fixing member 211, with one end of the spring member 222 disposed on the rotating part 221a and the other end disposed on the fixing surface 121 along the length extension direction of the fixing member 211.

[0067] Specifically, the rotating part 221a of the blocking member 221 is sleeved on the fixing member 211 and can rotate around the fixing member 211, forming an effective abutment with the limiting member 212. The limiting member 212 not only ensures the stability of the blocking member 221 but also provides the necessary rotational freedom for the blocking member 221. By rotating the blocking member 221, the blocking member 221 rotates around the fixing member 211, so that the blocking part 221b of the blocking member 221 can extend or retract into the mounting groove 12 as needed during rotation. When the blocking part 221b extends out of the mounting groove 12, it engages with the corresponding connecting groove on the aircraft seat, blocking or supporting the component and preventing it from moving or falling off, thereby increasing the stability and reliability of the fixation.

[0068] Furthermore, the spring member 222 is a spring structure. One end of the spring member 222 is fixed on the fixing surface 121 of the mounting groove 12, and the other end is fixed to the blocking member 221, thereby ensuring the stability of the fixed connection between the spring member 222 and the blocking member 221. This can be achieved by fixing the two ends of the spring member 222 by welding or other means.

[0069] Furthermore, when a force is applied to the blocking portion 221b of the blocking member 221 to rotate around the fixing member 211, this force is transmitted to the spring member 222 through the rotating portion 221a. Since the spring member 222 is surrounding the fixing member 211, it is subjected to a torsional force along its circumferential plane. This torsional force causes the spring member 222 to deform, causing it to be compressed or stretched during rotation (for example, the rotation of the blocking member 221 causes a change in the pitch of the spring member 222), and the spring member 222 will be subjected to an axial force; when the spring is torsion, it will also undergo radial expansion or contraction (depending on the direction of rotation of the spring), thereby being subjected to a radial force and storing a certain amount of elastic potential energy. When the external force disappears, the spring member 222 will use its stored elastic potential energy to push the rotating portion 221a (and the blocking portion 221b connected thereto) to reset, ensuring that the second fixing assembly 22 can be stably held in the desired position.

[0070] Furthermore, in its natural state, the spring is not subjected to external force and is in a free length (uncompressed or unstretched) and torsional state. At this time, the spring is in its initial position and has not deformed, and the blocking part 221b of the blocking member 221 is located in the mounting groove 12. When the blocking member 221 begins to rotate around the fixing member 211, one end of the spring (fixed to the blocking member 221) will move with the rotation of the blocking member 221, while the other end (fixed to the fixing surface 121) remains stationary. As the angle of rotation of the blocking member 221 increases, the spring twists around the axis of the fixing member 211, and each turn of the spring will be subjected to shear stress. The rotation of the blocking member 221 will in turn drive the rotation of the spring, causing the pitch of the spring to change. The spring will be compressed or stretched. This can be adjusted according to the deformation of the spring under axial force. The pitch of the spring member 222 can be adjusted by adjusting the translational position of the limiting member 212 and the blocking member 221 on the fixing member 211. As the rotation angle increases, the torsional deformation of the spring increases, generating a torsional force. This torsional force (torque) also increases with the rotation angle, and its direction is opposite to the rotation direction, attempting to restore the spring to its initial state. When the blocking member 221 is released, the restoring force of the spring causes the blocking member 221 to automatically rotate back to its initial position within the mounting slot 12.

[0071] Furthermore, when the blocking member 221 is rotated, the torsional force of the spring increases. When the blocking member 221 extends out of the mounting groove 12 and is inserted or snapped into the connecting groove, it abuts against the wall or other structure of the connecting groove, thereby transferring the torsional force of the spring member 222 to the blocking member 221. When the blocking member 221 abuts against the connecting groove, its movement stops, and the spring deformation reaches its maximum value. At this point, the spring is in a state of force equilibrium, with its compressive, tensile, or torsional force balanced by the reaction force on the blocking member 221. The blocking member 221 is stably fixed within the connecting groove and will not continue to move, thus securing the connector to the aircraft seat. If release is required, the rotation direction of the blocking member 221 is reversed, the connector is removed from the aircraft seat, and the restoring force of the spring member 222 causes the blocking portion 221b of the blocking member 221 to retract into the mounting groove 12.

[0072] In summary, when installing the second fixing component 22, the fixing member 211 first passes through the fixing hole 122, and continues to extend in the direction of communication between the fixing hole 122 and the mounting groove 12. The fixing member 211 passes through the hole ring of the spring member 222 and extends in to connect with the blocking member 221. Finally, the limiting member 212 is adjusted by the thread structure to adjust the translational position of the limiting member 212 and the blocking member 221 on the fixing member 211, thereby adjusting the pitch of the spring member 222.

[0073] In one specific embodiment, along the horizontal direction, the mounting groove 12 includes a mounting cavity 12a and a receiving cavity 12b formed along the extending direction of the rotating part 221a. The mounting cavity 12a and the receiving cavity 12b are continuously spliced ​​together. The first fixing component 21 and the rotating part 221a are both disposed in the mounting cavity 12a. The blocking part 221b can be disposed in the receiving cavity 12b so that when the blocking component 221 is rotated, the rotating part 221a is located in the mounting cavity 12a, and the blocking part 221b extends out of the receiving cavity 12b and is inserted into the connecting groove.

[0074] Specifically, the mounting cavity 12a accommodates the first fixing component 21 and the rotating part 221a, providing mounting space for the first fixing component 21, the spring member 222, and the rotating part 221a. This ensures the positional accuracy and operational stability of these components. When the blocking member 221 is rotated, the rotating part 221a can rotate unimpeded within the mounting cavity 12a, allowing the blocking member 221 to rotate without angle within the range permitted by the spring member 222. The storage cavity 12b is formed along the extending direction of the rotating part 221a and is continuously connected to the mounting cavity 12a, providing space for the storage and extension of the blocking part 221b. This allows the blocking part 221b to be hidden when not in use, maintaining the compactness of the structure.

[0075] Furthermore, the blocking part 221b can extend out of the receiving cavity 12b and insert into the connecting groove, serving to fix and connect. When it is necessary to connect and fix the connector and the aircraft seat, the blocking part 221b extends out of the receiving cavity 12b through the rotation of the blocking member 221, and continues to extend until it can reach into the connecting groove, thereby making a fixed connection.

[0076] In one specific embodiment, the fixing surface 121 has a fixing portion 121a, which extends from the bottom of the fixing surface 121 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the fixing surface 121; the fixing hole 122 includes a first hole 122a and a second hole 122b communicating with the first hole 122a, the first hole 122a being disposed on the fixing surface 121, the second hole 122b being disposed on the fixing portion 121a, and the fixing member 211 extending into the first hole 122a and the second hole 122b; wherein, the diameter of the first hole 122a is denoted as A, the diameter of the second hole 122b is denoted as B, and the relationship is satisfied: A > B.

[0077] Specifically, the fixing part 121a extends vertically from the bottom of the fixing surface 121, providing space for a portion of the fixing hole 122 (the second hole 122b) and enhancing the connection strength between the fixing surface 121 and the mounting base. The fixing part 121a not only increases the mounting depth of the fastener 211 on the fixing surface 121, improving the stability of the fixation, but also provides a wider range of installation and adjustment space for the fastener 211, increasing the flexibility of the structure.

[0078] Furthermore, the first hole 122a facilitates the initial positioning and guidance of the fastener 211. The first hole 122a allows for easy insertion of the fastener 211, reducing friction and resistance during assembly. The second hole 122b is located on the fixing part 121a and communicates with the first hole 122a, used for the final fixing of the fastener 211. The second hole 122b ensures a tight fit between the fastener 211 and the second hole 122b, preventing the fastener 211 from loosening or falling off.

[0079] In one specific embodiment, the fastener 211 has a support post 211a and a fixing post 211b extending axially along the support post 211a, the support post 211a extending into the first hole 122a and the fixing post 211b extending into the second hole 122b.

[0080] Specifically, the screw structure of the fastener 211 allows the fastener 211 to extend into the first hole 122a, providing stable support through physical contact and locking mechanism, and ensuring a firm connection between the fastener 211 and the component where the first hole 122a is located.

[0081] In one specific embodiment, the diameter of the support column 211a is denoted as X, and the diameter of the fixing column 211b is denoted as Y, satisfying the following relationship:

[0082] X > Y; Y = B.

[0083] Specifically, the diameter X of the support post 211a is larger than the diameter Y of the fixing post 211b. This allows for a larger contact area and stronger supporting force between the second support post 211a and the second hole 122b when the support post 211a extends into the first hole 122a, ensuring a stable connection between the fixing member 211 and the component containing the first hole 122a. The diameter of the fixing post 211b is equal to the diameter of the second hole 122b, ensuring that the fixing post 211b can smoothly extend into the second hole 122b and form a good fit with the hole wall, achieving a stable fixing effect.

[0084] An embodiment of this application provides a connector socket 200, including a fixing device for any of the connector sockets described above: the connector socket includes: a mounting surface 11, including a first surface 210 and a second surface 220, the first surface 210 and the second surface 220 being disposed opposite to each other; a first fixing device 230 disposed on the first surface 210; and a second fixing device 240 disposed on the second surface 220 and along the horizontal direction, the first fixing device 230 and the second fixing device 240 being disposed opposite to each other; wherein the rotation direction of the first fixing device 230 is opposite to the rotation direction of the second fixing device 240.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting surface 11 provides a mounting base for the connector socket. The relative arrangement of the first surface 210 and the second surface 220 means that the socket can be fixed in two opposite directions, increasing the stability of the installation between the connector socket and the aircraft seat. The first fixing device 230 and the second fixing device 240 have similar structures, and their specific structures are described above.

[0086] Furthermore, the first fixing device 230 is responsible for securing the connector socket on the first surface 210, ensuring the stability of the first fixing device 230 on the first surface 210. The first fixing device 230 effectively prevents movement of the socket in the direction of the first surface 210. The second fixing device 240 provides a fixing force on the second surface 220, effectively preventing movement of the socket in the direction of the second surface 220.

[0087] Furthermore, when the first fixing device 230 rotates clockwise (or counterclockwise), the second fixing device 240 rotates in the opposite direction, forming an interlocking mechanism that secures the connector socket to the aircraft seat. In this embodiment,

[0088] The first fixing device 230 and the second fixing device 240 enhance the fixing strength of the socket, preventing it from loosening or falling off. This rotation is achieved through the blocking element 221 within both the first fixing device 230 and the second fixing device 240. The rotation direction of the first fixing device 230 is F1, and the rotation direction of the second fixing device 240 is F2. This interlocking mechanism not only improves the fixing strength of the socket but also increases the stability and reliability of the installation. Furthermore, because the two fixing devices rotate in opposite directions, users can simplify the installation process and improve efficiency by rotating both devices simultaneously.

[0089] In one specific embodiment, along the horizontal direction, the mounting surface 11 further includes a third surface 250, which is sandwiched between the first surface 210 and the second surface 220; and a third fixing device 260 is disposed on the third surface 250.

[0090] Specifically, the third fixing device 260 is responsible for securing the socket on the third surface 250, forming a comprehensive fixing system together with the first fixing device 230 and the second fixing device 240. Since all three fixing devices are designed to operate independently, users can choose to fix one, two, or all three devices as needed to achieve the required fixing strength. The synergistic effect of the three fixing devices ensures the socket remains stable in various complex environments, improving the system's reliability and durability.

[0091] Therefore, the fixing device 100 of the connector socket 200 provided above is fixedly connected to the connector by the first fixing component 21 of the fixing device 20, and the fixing device 20 is installed on the connector; by rotating one end of the second fixing component 22 to the first fixing component 21, when the first fixing component 21 and the second fixing component 22 rotate, the other end of the second fixing component 22 extends out of the mounting groove 12 and is inserted into the connection groove of the seat, providing a fixing point between the connector and the seat, making the installation process simpler, saving time and tool costs, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0092] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
