Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector technology, specifically relating to a novel connector capable of quick insertion and removal. Background Technology

[0002] A connector, also known as a plug, connector, or socket, is a coupling device used to connect electrical terminals to form a circuit. It simplifies the assembly process of electronic products and facilitates maintenance and upgrades, and is therefore widely used in various electronic devices. Computer connectors are hardware components used to connect two or more electronic devices to transmit data, power, and control signals from one device to another.

[0003] Existing computer connectors typically consist of a plug and a socket for receiving the plug. The plug contains pins, and the socket contains pinholes for receiving the pins. The pins and pinholes are responsible for establishing an electrical connection for transmitting signals or power.

[0004] Because the pins and holes are usually small, users need to align the pins and holes during the insertion process, which is quite troublesome. Moreover, if the operation is not careful, the pins may be bent, causing damage to the plug. In addition, the insertion direction of the plug and socket of computer connectors is usually fixed. If they are not properly aligned, it will also lead to poor contact, thus affecting the normal operation of the computer. Therefore, a new type of connector that can be quickly plugged in and out is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel connector that can be quickly plugged in and out, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel connector capable of quick insertion and removal, comprising:

[0007] The connector body includes a plug housing and a socket housing. The plug housing has pins on the side opposite to the socket housing, and the socket housing has pinholes on the side opposite to the plug housing for receiving pins.

[0008] A fixing assembly includes a fixing plate, a sliding rod, a snap-fit ​​block, and a return spring. The fixing plate is fixedly installed on the socket housing. The fixing plate has a sliding groove. Two sliding rods are provided and slidably disposed in the sliding groove. The snap-fit ​​block is disposed at one end of the sliding rod away from the sliding groove. The fixing assembly also includes a fixing cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the plug housing. The fixing cylinder has two opposing first snap-fit ​​holes that are adapted to the snap-fit ​​block.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit ​​block is configured with an inclined surface on the side away from the sliding rod.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing cylinder also has two opposing second snap-fit ​​holes located at one end of the fixing cylinder away from the plug housing.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the connector body further includes a protective plate, and two protective plates are provided, which are respectively installed on the plug housing and the socket housing.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the protective plates installed on the plug housing and the protective plates installed on the socket housing are staggered.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the protective plate has multiple heat dissipation holes for heat dissipation and ventilation, and the multiple heat dissipation holes are evenly distributed at intervals.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention features a fixing assembly comprising a fixing plate, a sliding rod, a snap-fit ​​block, a return spring, and a fixing cylinder. The fixing plate has a sliding groove, the sliding rod is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, the snap-fit ​​block is disposed at one end of the sliding rod, and the fixing cylinder has a first snap-fit ​​hole. When insertion is required, the user moves the plug housing and the socket housing toward each other, causing the two snap-fit ​​blocks to move closer together. Until the snap-fit ​​block moves to the first snap-fit ​​hole, the snap-fit ​​block fully engages with the first snap-fit ​​hole under the restoring force of the return spring. This fixes the plug housing and the socket housing, thus achieving electrical connection between the pins and the pinhole. The operation is simple and quick.

[0016] This invention features two protective plates, one on each of the plug housing and the other on the socket housing, arranged in an alternating pattern. Each protective plate has ventilation holes for heat dissipation and ventilation. The alternating arrangement of the two protective plates prevents the user from reversing the insertion direction of the plug and socket housings during connection, ensuring a successful connection on the first attempt. Furthermore, the two protective plates protect the plug and socket housings from damage, extending the lifespan of the device. The heat generated during use is dissipated through the ventilation holes on the protective plates, reducing the probability of electrical fires. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0023] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a novel connector capable of quick plugging and unplugging, comprising:

[0025] The connector body 1 includes a plug housing 11 and a socket housing 12. The plug housing 11 has pins on the side opposite to the socket housing 12, and the socket housing 12 has pinholes on the side opposite to the plug housing 11 for receiving pins.

[0026] The fixing component 2 includes a fixing plate 21, a sliding rod 22, a snap-fit ​​block 23, and a return spring 24. The fixing plate 21 is fixedly installed on the socket housing 12. The fixing plate 21 has a sliding groove 211. There are two sliding rods 22, which are slidably disposed in the sliding groove 211. The snap-fit ​​block 23 is disposed at one end of the sliding rod 22 away from the sliding groove 211. The fixing component 2 also includes a fixing cylinder 25, which is fixedly installed on the plug housing 11. The fixing cylinder 25 has two opposing first snap-fit ​​holes 251, which are adapted to the snap-fit ​​block 23.

[0027] The snap-fit ​​block 23 is configured with an inclined surface on the side away from the sliding rod 22;

[0028] The fixing cylinder 25 also has two opposing second snap-fit ​​holes 252, which are located at one end of the fixing cylinder 25 away from the plug housing 11;

[0029] The connector body 1 also includes a protective plate 13. There are two protective plates 13, which are respectively installed on the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 12.

[0030] The protective plate 13 installed on the plug housing 11 and the protective plate 13 installed on the socket housing 12 are distributed alternately;

[0031] The protective plate 13 has heat dissipation holes 131 for heat dissipation and ventilation. Multiple heat dissipation holes 131 are provided and are evenly distributed at intervals.

[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0033] When the connector body 1 needs to be plugged in, the user moves the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 12 toward each other until the snap-fit ​​block 23 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 25. At this time, the two snap-fit ​​blocks 23 are close to each other, which in turn drives the two sliding rods 22 to be close to each other, and the return spring 24 is in a compressed state. As the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 12 continue to be close to each other, the snap-fit ​​block 23 moves to the first snap-fit ​​hole 251. Then, under the action of the return spring 24, the two sliding rods 22 and the two snap-fit ​​blocks 23 are driven away from each other, so that the snap-fit ​​block 23 is completely snapped into the first snap-fit ​​hole 251. In this way, the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 12 are fixed, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the pins on the plug housing 11 and the pin holes on the socket housing 12. The operation is simple and quick.

[0034] When it is necessary to disconnect the electrical connection between the pin and the hole, the user squeezes the two locking blocks 23 that are locked in the first locking hole 251, and then separates the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 12 so that the locking blocks 23 slide on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 25 until the locking blocks 23 move to the second locking hole 252, thereby realizing the separation of the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 12.

[0035] By setting two protective plates 13 that are staggered, the user is prevented from reversing the insertion direction of the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 12 during the insertion process, ensuring that the insertion process can be successful on the first try. In addition, the two protective plates 13 can protect the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 12 from damage, improve the service life of the equipment, and the heat generated during use is dissipated through the heat dissipation holes 131 provided on the protective plates 13, reducing the probability of circuit fire.

[0036] 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.
