Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to connectors, and more specifically, to a communication connector with anti-misfit positioning post. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, communication connectors, as core components for signal transmission between electronic devices, directly affect the stability and reliability of communication systems. In recent years, with the rise of 5G, the Internet of Things, and industrial automation, the demand for communication connectors has increased significantly, and their functional requirements have also risen. Against this backdrop, traditional communication connectors have gradually revealed many limitations, particularly in areas such as anti-misfit design, waterproofing, and shock resistance, which urgently require improvement. Currently, most communication connectors on the market adopt simple mechanical mating structures. Although they can achieve basic electrical connection functions, they are prone to damage or data transmission interruption due to misoperation in complex application scenarios. Furthermore, existing technologies often use a single shape for the positioning pins, lacking innovative anti-misfit mechanisms. This makes it extremely easy for users to make mating errors in high-density wiring environments, thus affecting the overall system's operating efficiency.
[0003] Furthermore, existing connectors are inadequate in terms of shock resistance and cushioning performance. When subjected to external vibration or impact, internal contacts are prone to loosening or even breakage, leading to unstable signal transmission. Therefore, achieving breakthroughs in areas such as preventing mis-mating, waterproofing, and shock resistance has become an important research direction in the field of communication connector technology. Utility Model Content
[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technical solution for a communication connector with anti-misfit positioning posts.
[0005] According to a first aspect of this utility model, a communication connector with anti-misinsertion positioning post is provided, including a connector base, a connector head inserted into one end of the connector base, a semi-circular positioning post fixedly connected to the connector head, an anti-misinsertion block fixedly connected to the upper part of the connector head, a flanged portion on the connector base, an anti-misinsertion slot opened inside the flanged portion, a socket panel fixedly connected to the connector base, a semi-circular positioning hole opened on the socket panel, a buffer plate inside the connector base, a spring on the rear side of the buffer plate, a rubber waterproof plate between the buffer plate and the socket panel, a socket copper sleeve inside the connector base, and a plug fixedly connected to the connector head.
[0006] Optionally, one end of the connecting seat is provided with a cover, and a fixing block is fixedly connected inside the connecting seat. The connecting seat is connected to the fixing block by bolts.
[0007] Optionally, a copper pillar is welded through and onto the buffer plate, the copper pillar is fixedly connected to the end of the socket copper sleeve, and a rectangular shell is fitted around the outside of the socket copper sleeve.
[0008] Optionally, the rectangular shell is fixedly connected to the buffer plate, a limit block is fixedly connected to the copper column, a limit groove is provided inside the rectangular shell, and a plug-in plate is welded to the rear of the copper column.
[0009] Optionally, the socket panel has a rectangular hole, a waterproof adhesive layer is provided between the rectangular hole and the socket copper sleeve, and positioning plates that are welded to the buffer plate are provided on both sides of the fixing block.
[0010] Optionally, a partition is provided on one side of the rubber waterproof membrane, and four limiting plates are fixedly connected to the partition, with the rubber waterproof membrane positioned between the four limiting plates.
[0011] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, in terms of the anti-misfit design, the risk of misfitting is greatly reduced by introducing a design that precisely matches the semi-circular positioning post with the semi-circular positioning hole on the connector. This unique shape not only improves the ease of operation of the connector but also ensures accurate mating even in high-density wiring environments. Furthermore, the combination of the anti-misfit block and the anti-misfit slot inside the flange further enhances the connector's anti-misfit capability, ensuring correct mating even in low-light conditions or with limited operating space.
[0012] Secondly, regarding waterproofing, this product employs multiple layers of protection, including a rubber waterproof membrane and a waterproof adhesive layer between the rectangular holes on the socket panel and the copper sleeve of the socket. These designs effectively prevent moisture and other contaminants from entering the connector, thereby significantly improving the operational stability of the device in harsh environments. Especially in humid or dusty working environments, this multi-layered waterproof design ensures the long-term stable operation of the connector, extends its service life, and reduces the failure rate caused by environmental factors.
[0013] Furthermore, this product also features significant improvements in shock resistance and cushioning performance. With its built-in springs and buffer plates, the connector effectively absorbs energy when subjected to external vibrations or impacts, preventing internal components from loosening or being damaged. Especially for equipment that requires frequent movement or operates in vibrating environments, this design not only protects the connector itself but also ensures the continuity and stability of signal transmission, avoiding data loss or transmission interruptions caused by physical damage.
