Description

A cable quick connector Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable connectors, specifically a quick cable connector. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cable connections rely on connecting wires or devices with equivalent conductivity to connect two cables and achieve stable conductivity. During cable laying, multiple cables often need to be connected together before laying.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN222381320U discloses a cable connector connection device for power distribution installation, including a cable and a connector. The cable is disposed inside the connector. The connector is divided into a first connector and a second connector. Both the first connector and the second connector have through holes. Limiting components are installed inside the first connector and the second connector for clamping and fixing the cable. Fixing components are provided on both sides of the first connector and the second connector for sealing and connecting the first connector and the second connector.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, existing cable joints require connecting components with a diameter larger than the cable. When cables are laid in pipes or cable trays, the large-diameter connecting components occupy the cable's laying space, often reducing the number of cables that can be laid in the pipes or cable trays. In summary, existing cable quick connectors are relatively large in size. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable quick connector to solve the technical problem of the large size of existing cable quick connectors.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a quick cable connector, comprising a first cable and a second cable, wherein the first cable and the second cable are provided with a mutually cooperating electrical connection structure, and further comprising a first retaining ring and a second retaining ring. After the first cable and the second cable are inserted relative to each other, the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring correspond to each other to form an annular groove. The first cable and the second cable are connected in opposite directions along the radial direction of the cable at the annular groove, and the diameter of the retaining ring structure between the first cable and the second cable is smaller than the diameter of the first cable and the second cable.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a ring-shaped snap-fit ​​structure is set at the cable's protective layer. Two cable segments are connected using a fastening structure that does not exceed the cable's diameter. After the two cable segments are inserted, a snap ring structure is used to restrict the two cable segments, solving the problem of excessively large size of the cable quick assembly and achieving rapid connection of the two cable segments.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the end of the first cable facing the second cable is provided with an axially recessed socket, and the end of the second cable facing the first cable is provided with a plug for inserting into the socket.

[0009] Preferably, the electrical connection between the two cable segments is achieved by connecting the plug and the socket.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the first cable is connected to a first retaining ring at an annular interval at the edge of the plug, and the second cable is connected to a plug plate at an annular interval on the outer wall of the plug, and the second retaining ring is disposed at the end of the plug plate away from the first cable.

[0011] Preferably, inserting the plug into the socket of the first cable can further improve the stability of the connection between the two cable segments.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the centers of the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring are recessed toward the axes of the first cable and the second cable, respectively.

[0013] Preferably, the inwardly recessed annular structure can further improve the stability of the snap ring connection.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the first cable and the second cable are provided with sealing sleeves that fit the annular groove at the annular groove.

[0015] Preferably, the sealing sleeve can ensure the sealing between the two cable sections.

[0016] The present invention is further provided that a heat shrink sleeve is fitted at the connection between the first cable and the second cable.

[0017] Preferably, heat shrink tubing can further improve the sealing of cable connections.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the first cable and the second cable are engaged with a first retaining ring and a second retaining ring at the annular groove.

[0019] Preferably, the first cable and the second cable are connected by a first retaining ring and a second retaining ring.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring are connected to each other by screws.

[0021] Preferably, the screw can facilitate the quick connection between the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring, and can also quickly disconnect the two cable sections when needed.

[0022] The present invention is further configured such that the insert plate is provided with two pieces spaced apart along the circumferential direction, and is spaced 180 degrees apart from each other on the circumferential surface.

[0023] Preferably, the two plug plates are inserted separately into the socket of the first cable.

[0024] The present invention is further configured such that two first retaining rings are spaced apart along the circumferential direction and are spaced 180 degrees apart on the ring surface, and the two first retaining rings and the two second retaining rings together form a complete ring.

[0025] Preferably, the insertion of the plug plate into the socket also serves as a guide to prevent the wires inside the plug from deviating from the connection holes for electrical connection.

[0026] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0027] 1. This utility model solves the problem of excessively large size of the cable quick assembly by setting an annular snap-fit ​​structure at the cable's protective layer and using a fastening structure not exceeding the cable diameter to connect two cable segments. After the two cable segments are inserted, a snap ring structure is used to restrict the two cable segments, thereby achieving a quick connection between the two cable segments.

[0028] 2. This utility model provides a suitable sealing structure within the annular snap-fit ​​structure at the joint of the two cable segments, thereby sealing the connection between the two cable segments while the snap-fit ​​structure is in place, ensuring a stable connection between the two cable segments.

[0037] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0038] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0039] First embodiment:

[0040] A quick-connect cable connector, as shown in Figures 1-6, includes a first cable 1 and a second cable 2. The first cable 1 and the second cable 2 are provided with a mutually cooperating electrical connection structure. Specifically, a corresponding conductive hole is provided at the plug 201 of the second cable 2 along the conductive metal wire inside the cable, and a conductive post corresponding to the conductive hole is provided in the socket 101 of the first cable.

[0041] It also includes a first retaining ring 102 and a second retaining ring 203. After the first cable 1 and the second cable 2 are inserted into each other, the first retaining ring 102 and the second retaining ring 203 form an annular groove corresponding to each other. The first cable 1 and the second cable 2 are connected in opposite directions along the radial direction of the cable at the annular groove. The diameter of the retaining ring structure between the first cable 1 and the second cable 2 is smaller than the diameter of the first cable 1 and the second cable 2.

[0042] In the above embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-6 for details. The end of the first cable 1 facing the second cable 2 is provided with a recessed socket 101 along the axial direction. The end of the second cable 2 facing the first cable 1 is provided with a plug 201 for inserting into the socket 101. The electrical connection between the two cable segments is achieved by connecting the plug 201 and the socket 101.

[0043] Specifically, the electrical connection between the two cables is achieved by connecting the plug 201 and the socket 101. After the plug plate 202 is inserted into the socket 101 of the first cable, the stability of the connection between the two cables can be further improved.

[0044] In the above embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-6 for details. The first cable 1 and the second cable 2 are provided with a sealing sleeve 3 that fits into the annular groove. The sealing sleeve 3 can ensure the sealing between the two cable segments. Specifically, the sealing sleeve 3 is an elastic sealing rubber ring that fits into the annular groove. When the two cable segments are connected to each other, the sealing sleeve 3 is first put on the outer wall of the second cable 2, and then moved to the position of the annular groove after the first cable 1 and the second cable 2 are inserted into each other.

[0045] Furthermore, the first cable 1 and the second cable 2 are engaged with a first retaining ring 4 and a second retaining ring 5 at the annular groove, thereby securing the first cable 1 and the second cable 2 together.

[0046] Specifically, the first retaining ring 4 and the second retaining ring 5 are connected to each other by screws. The screws can easily and quickly connect the first retaining ring 4 and the second retaining ring 5, and can also quickly disconnect the two sections of cable when needed.

[0047] Second embodiment:

[0048] A quick-connect cable connector, as shown in Figures 1-6, has the centers of the first retaining ring 102 and the second retaining ring 203 recessed towards the axes of the first cable 1 and the second cable 2, respectively. The inwardly recessed annular structure can further improve the stability of the retaining ring connection, and also improve the stability when the two cable segments are connected.

[0049] Specifically, a heat-shrinkable sleeve 6 is fitted at the connection between the first cable 1 and the second cable 2. The heat-shrinkable sleeve 6 can further improve the sealing of the cable connection. When connecting the two cable segments, the heat-shrinkable sleeve 6 is first fitted onto the outer wall of the first cable 1. After the retaining ring structure between the first cable 1 and the second cable 2 is connected, the heat-shrinkable sleeve 6 is moved to the connection between the first cable 1 and the second cable 2. The specific method of heating the heat-shrinkable sleeve 6 is a mature existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Furthermore, two insert plates 202 are spaced apart along the circumference and are set 180 degrees apart on the circumferential surface, so that the two insert plates 202 are inserted separately into the socket 101 of the first cable 1. Two first retaining rings 102 are spaced apart along the circumference and are set 180 degrees apart on the circumferential surface. The two first retaining rings 102 and the two second retaining rings 203 together form a complete ring. The insertion of the insert plates 202 into the socket 101 also serves as a guide to prevent the wires in the plug 201 from deviating from the electrical connection hole.

[0051] In practical operation, the following steps are taken: Align the insert plate 202 with the socket 101 and insert the first cable 1 and the second cable 2 in opposite directions. After the first retaining ring 102 and the second retaining ring 203 form a complete annular groove, the sealing sleeve 3 is fitted on. Then, along the radial direction of the cable, the first retaining ring 4 and the second retaining ring 5 are fitted into the annular groove and screws are used to fix the first retaining ring 4 and the second retaining ring 5 to each other. Finally, the heat shrink sleeve is fitted on the connection between the two cable sections and heated.
