[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PLC module technology, and in particular to a PLC module connector. Background Technology

[0002] A PLC module is a functional module within a programmable logic controller (PLC) used to perform specific functions. PLCs are widely used in automation control, primarily for controlling industrial production equipment to improve production efficiency and quality. PLC module converter connectors can transfer the output signals of PLC modules. When not in operation, dust can easily enter the output ports of these connectors, causing damage.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patent (CN220400991U) discloses a PLC module conversion connector. This PLC module conversion connector includes a conversion connector body, an output block fixedly connected to the side wall of the conversion connector body, an output port on the side wall of the output block, an indicator light on the front side of the conversion connector body, and a dustproof device inside the output block. The dustproof device includes a slide rod, one end of which passes through the side door of the output block and is slidably connected to the side of the output block, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a hinge block. This application achieves a protective effect when the output port is idle by rotating the dustproof plate inside the dustproof device. This allows the dustproof plate and magnetic blocks to cooperate under magnetic action, achieving a contact between one side of the dustproof plate and one end of the output port, thus reducing dust ingress when the output port is idle.

[0004] However, in the aforementioned prior art, the module connector is subject to slight vibration during equipment operation, which can easily cause the line connection to the connector to loosen, affecting the stability of the equipment connection. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a PLC module connector that solves the technical problem in the prior art where the module connector is accompanied by slight vibration during equipment operation, which can easily lead to loosening of the line connection to the connector and affect the stability of the equipment connection.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a PLC module connector, including a connector body and a stabilizing mechanism. The stabilizing mechanism includes a fixed frame, an output port, and a limiting component. The fixed frame is fixedly connected to the connector body and located outside the connector body. The output port is fixedly connected to the connector body and located inside the output port.

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 ,in Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the PLC module connector of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a top view of the PLC module connector of this utility model. Figure 3 This is the utility model Figure 2 AA-line structural cross-sectional view, Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the stabilizing mechanism of this utility model. This utility model provides a PLC module connector: including a connector body 101 and a stabilizing mechanism. The stabilizing mechanism includes a fixed frame 102, an output port 103, and a limiting component. The limiting component includes a mounting bracket 104, a telescopic spring 105, a plastic block 106, a soft pad 107, a mounting component, a connecting rod 108, and a toggle plate 109. The mounting component includes a mounting base 110, an adjusting plate 111, a drive rod 112, a lifting block 113, an insertion block 114, a first fixing plate 115, and a second fixing plate 116. This solution solves the problem that slight vibrations during equipment operation can easily cause loosening of the wiring connections, affecting the stability of the equipment connection.

[0020] In this specific embodiment, the stabilizing mechanism includes a fixed frame 102, an output port 103, and a limiting component. The fixed frame 102 is fixedly connected to the connector body 101 and located outside the connector body 101. The output port 103 is fixedly connected to the connector body 101 and located inside the output port 103. The limiting component includes a mounting bracket 104, a telescopic spring 105, a plastic block 106, a soft pad 107, and a mounting piece. The mounting bracket 104 is fixedly connected to the output port 103 and located outside the output port 103. The telescopic spring 105 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 104 and located inside the mounting bracket 104. The plastic block 106 is slidably connected to the output port 103 and located below the telescopic spring 105, and the plastic block 106 penetrates the output port 103. The soft pad 107 is fixedly connected to the plastic block 106 and located below the plastic block 106. The mounting component is detachably connected to the connector body 101 and is located on the outside of the connector body 101. A dustproof unit is provided on the outside of the fixing frame 102. The dustproof structure on the outside of the fixing frame 102 has been described in the prior art CN220400991U, which is used to ensure that dust does not enter the output port 103 when it is idle, so it will not be described again. The line connector is inserted into the output port 103, and the line connector pushes the plastic block 106 to move upward. Both the plastic block 106 and the soft pad 107 are provided with inclined surfaces to facilitate the insertion of the line connector. The telescopic spring 105 is compressed. After the line connector is installed in place, the telescopic spring 105 pushes the plastic block 106 and the soft pad 107 to hold the line connector, so that the line connector can be stably fixed in the output port 103. This method can effectively solve the problem that the vibration of the module connector during operation will cause the line connector to loosen and affect the connection stability of the device.

[0021] The limiting component further includes a connecting rod 108 and a toggle plate 109. The connecting rod 108 is fixedly connected to the plastic block 106 and is located outside the telescopic spring 105. The connecting rod 108 passes through the mounting bracket 104 and the fixed frame 102. The toggle plate 109 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 108 and is located outside the connecting rod 108. If the wire connector is obstructed when being pulled out, by pushing the toggle plate 109 upward, the connecting rod 108 causes the plastic block 106 to release its resistance to the wire connector, and the wire connector can be easily removed.

[0022] Secondly, the mounting component includes a mounting base 110, an adjusting plate 111, and a drive rod 112. The mounting base 110 is slidably connected to the connector body 101 and is located outside the connector body 101. The adjusting plate 111 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive rod 112 and is located above the mounting base 110. The other end of the drive rod 112 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 110 and is located inside the mounting base 110. The surface of the drive rod 112 has threads. The mounting base 110 is located outside the connector body 101. Rotating the adjusting plate 111 can drive the drive rod 112 to rotate.

[0023] Meanwhile, the mounting component also includes a lifting block 113 and an insertion block 114. The lifting block 113 is threadedly connected to the drive rod 112 and is located outside the drive rod 112. The insertion block 114 is detachably connected to the connector body 101 and is located outside the lifting block 113. The insertion block 114 is inserted into the connector body 101 and fixed by bolts. The drive rod 112 drives the lifting block 113 to adjust its height, and the insertion block 114 drives the connector body 101 to adjust its working height, thereby facilitating flexible adjustment of the equipment's operating height.

[0024] In addition, the mounting component also includes a first fixing plate 115 and a second fixing plate 116. The first fixing plate 115 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 110 and is located on the side of the mounting base 110 away from the adjusting disc 111. The second fixing plate 116 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 110 and is located on the side of the mounting base 110 adjacent to the first fixing plate 115. The first fixing plate 115, with the help of bolts, facilitates the installation of the mounting base by bottom fixing. The second fixing plate 116, with the help of bolts, facilitates the installation of the mounting base by side fixing.

[0025] In this embodiment, a PLC module connector is used by setting up a fixed frame 102, an output port 103, and a limiting component. Specifically, the insertion block 114 is inserted into the connector body 101 and secured with bolts. Depending on the installation environment, the first fixing plate 115 or the second fixing plate 116 is used to fix the mounting base. Rotating the adjusting disc 111 causes the drive rod 112 to drive the lifting block 113 for height adjustment. The insertion block 114 adjusts the connector body 101 to a suitable working height. The line connector is inserted into the output port 103, pushing the plastic block 106 upwards. The telescopic spring 105 is compressed. After the line connector is installed in place, the telescopic spring 105 pushes the plastic block 106 and the soft pad 107 to hold the line connector, ensuring the line connector is stably fixed within the output port 103. This prevents the line connector and module connector from becoming loose during equipment operation, effectively ensuring the stability of the equipment connection.
