[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals.
[0030] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0031] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Referring to Figures 1, 4, and 8, an easy-to-assemble multi-port connector includes a housing 1 with multiple connecting pins arrayed on it. A slot 2 is provided on one side of the housing 1, and a retractable insert 3, adapted to the slot 2, is inserted into the other side of the housing 1. The insert 3 has a T-shaped structure, and three retractable positioning rods 4 are arrayed on both its upper and lower surfaces. Positioning holes 5, which mate with the positioning rods 4, are provided in the slot 2, with the number of positioning holes 5 being the same as the number of positioning rods 4. When assembling two housings 1, the insert 3 in one housing 1 is simply slid into the slot 2 in the adjacent housing 1. During the sliding insertion, the positioning rods 4 in the insert 3 insert into the positioning holes 5 when they slide to the position of the positioning holes 5, thereby fixing the connection and ensuring stability during connection. The positioning rods 4 are connected to the insert 3 by a spring 11, which allows the positioning rods 4 to extend and retract, and one end of the positioning rod 4 has a rounded edge.
[0034] To facilitate quick and easy disconnection of the two housings 1, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, the housings 1 are equipped with unlocking components on both sides of the slot 2 for releasing the connection between the two housings 1. The unlocking components include a pressing rod 6 inserted into a positioning hole 5. A through groove 7 communicating with the positioning hole 5 is provided on the housing 1. A sleeve 8 is provided on the housing 1 outside the through groove 7. A button 9 is slidably mounted inside the sleeve 8 and fixedly connected to one end of the pressing rod 6. A spring 10 is fitted on the outside of the pressing rod 6, with its two ends abutting against the bottom of the through groove 7 and the bottom surface of the button 9, respectively. When it is necessary to disconnect the two housings 1, simply press the button 9 into the housing 1. At this time, the pressing rod 6 extends into the positioning hole 5, pushing the positioning rod 4 back into the insert block 3. The insert block 3 can then slide out of the slot 2, achieving quick disassembly.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] When multiple housings 1 do not need to be assembled, the insert block 3 is exposed on the outside of the housing 1, occupying a large space. Therefore, based on Embodiment 1, and referring to Figures 2, 3, 7, and 8, the housing 1 is provided with a sliding groove 12 on the side away from the slot 2. Sliding holes 13 are symmetrically arranged on the housing 1, and the sliding holes 13 are connected to the sliding groove 12. One end of the insert block 3 is connected to a fixing block 14, which slides within the sliding hole 13. A pressable push block 15 is connected inside the fixing block 14, and a telescopic block 16 is connected to the bottom of the push block 15. The telescopic block 16 is connected to the fixing block 14 by several equidistantly arranged springs 17. The arrangement of multiple springs 17 makes the force on the telescopic block 16 more even. When the insert block 3 is not in use, the push block 15 is pressed into the housing 1 and slid along the sliding hole 13, retracting the insert block 3 back into the sliding groove 12, reducing the space occupied.
[0037] Meanwhile, as shown in Figures 5 to 7, the sliding hole 13 is provided with two sliding grooves 18 on both sides, and the push block 15 is provided with two fixing plates 19 on both sides. The fixing plates 19 are slidably located within the two sliding grooves 18, and are provided with fixing rods 20. The two sliding grooves 18 are provided with two fixing slots 21 that cooperate with the fixing rods 20, and the two fixing slots 21 are located at both ends of the two sliding grooves 18. When the insert block 3 is in the extended or retracted state, the fixing rods 20 are inserted into the corresponding fixing slots 21, thereby fixing the position of the push block 15 and ensuring the stability of the insert block 3 during use.
[0038] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
