Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector technology, specifically an integrated current sensing connector. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is an electromechanical component used to connect two or more electronic devices, circuits, or components. It enables the transmission and exchange of electrical signals or power and has wide applications in many fields such as electronic equipment, power systems, and industrial automation.

[0003] In existing technologies, current sensing connectors are used by inserting the male and female connectors together. The connector is equipped with a Hall element to detect the current passing through it, and the data is displayed on the outside of the connector using a display mechanism. However, when storing the connector, the outer pins are exposed to the outside environment, which makes them prone to bending due to impacts or before use. This can lead to misalignment during subsequent insertions, affecting current transmission. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides an integrated current sensing connector.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an integrated current detection connector, comprising a connector, a display mechanism disposed on the top of the connector, and a protective component disposed within the inner cavity of the connector;

[0006] The connector includes a housing, and a pin is disposed inside the housing cavity;

[0007] The protective assembly includes a protective plate, the outer side of which is movably connected to the inner wall of the housing and located outside the ejector pin. The housing has a slot located outside the protective plate. Both sides of the protective plate are provided with paddles located in the slots. A connecting block is provided on the outer side of the protective plate.

[0008] Preferably, a Hall element is provided inside the housing cavity, and a connecting wire is provided on the outside of the housing.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed inside the housing, and a limiting block is movably connected inside the limiting groove. The outer side of the limiting block is connected to the inner side of the protective plate.

[0010] Preferably, grooves are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the outer side of the housing, and the grooves are trapezoidal in shape.

[0011] Preferably, there are two protective plates, which are distributed vertically at the outer ends of the housing.

[0012] Preferably, the slots are symmetrically distributed on the housing, and the paddles on the two protective plates are symmetrically distributed with each other.

[0013] Preferably, the housing has a slot inside, and the inner wall of the slot is movably connected to the outer side of the protective plate.

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

[0015] This utility model is equipped with a protective plate and a lever. When the operator moves the protective plate by connecting the block, the lever is squeezed and deformed and moves outward. When the protective plate is removed from the outside of the ejector pin, the elasticity of the lever restores its elasticity, causing the lever to be stuck in the slot and fixing the protective plate. This makes it easy for the operator to protect the ejector pin by the protective plate and prevent the ejector pin from being bent before use. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this is the first embodiment of the utility model, which provides an integrated current detection connector, including a connector 1, a display mechanism 2 disposed on the top of the connector 1, and a protective component 3 disposed in the inner cavity of the connector 1;

[0025] The connector 1 includes a housing 101, and a pin 104 is provided inside the housing 101.

[0026] The protective component 3 includes a protective plate 301. The outer side of the protective plate 301 is movably connected to the inner wall of the housing 101 and is located outside the ejector pin 104. The housing 101 has a slot 302 located outside the protective plate 301. Both sides of the protective plate 301 are provided with paddles 303 located in the slots 302. The outer side of the protective plate 301 is provided with a connecting block 304.

[0027] By pulling the connecting block 304 upward, the protective plate 301 is moved upward. At this time, the paddles 303 on both sides of the protective plate 301 are squeezed by the inner wall of the housing 101, causing the paddles 303 to deform and move out of the inner cavity of the slot 302, thus releasing them from the locking of the protective plate 301. When the protective plate 301 moves to the outside of the housing 101, the elasticity of the paddles 303 is restored, causing the paddles 303 to lock into the inside of the slot 302. The paddles 303 lock and fix the entire protective plate 301 to prevent it from resetting. Thus, the protective plate 301 protects the outside of the ejector pin 104, preventing the ejector pin 104 from bending before use and avoiding affecting the normal use of the connector 1.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment includes the features of embodiment 1. The distinguishing technical feature is that a Hall element 103 is provided in the inner cavity of the housing 101, and a connecting line 102 is provided on the outer side of the housing 101.

[0030] The pin 104, Hall element 103, connecting wire 102 and display mechanism 2 are connected together by a circuit. The Hall element 103 utilizes the Hall effect. When current flows through it, it generates a Hall voltage proportional to the current, thereby realizing the detection of current. The detected current is displayed through the display mechanism 2, which makes it convenient for operators to detect the current. This makes the sensor highly accurate and fast in response, and can accurately detect the magnitude of the current passing through connector 1.

[0031] The housing 101 has a limiting groove 305 inside, and a limiting block 306 is movably connected inside the limiting groove 305. The outer side of the limiting block 306 is connected to the inner side of the protective plate 301.

[0032] When the operator pulls the protective plate 301 through the connecting block 304, the protective plate 301 drives the limiting block 306 to move inside the limiting groove 305, and the limiting block 306 and the limiting groove 305 limit it to prevent positional deviation.

[0033] Among them, grooves 307 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the outer side of the shell 101, and the grooves 307 are trapezoidal in shape;

[0034] When the operator pulls the connecting block 304, the groove 307 design allows the operator to easily put their hand between the connecting block 304 and the housing 101, making it easy to pull the protective plate 301 to the bottom to expose the ejector pin 104 and prevent the connector 1 from being unable to be inserted if it is not pulled to the bottom.

[0035] Two protective plates 301 are provided, and the two protective plates 301 are distributed vertically on the outer end of the housing 101;

[0036] The design of the two protective plates 301 is used to protect the ejector pin 104. By unfolding the two protective plates 301, the entire protective plate 301 is exposed to the outside, which facilitates the operation of the operator when using the connector 1 and prevents the ejector pin 104 from being damaged before use.

[0037] Among them, the card slots 302 are symmetrically distributed on the housing 101, and the paddles 303 on the two protective plates 301 are symmetrically distributed with each other;

[0038] The symmetrically distributed slots 302 and paddles 303 are used to prevent the paddles 303 from engaging in the slots 302 when the protective plate 301 is moved, thus preventing the plate from failing to engage.

[0039] The housing 101 has a slot inside, and the inner wall of the slot is movably connected to the outer side of the protective plate 301.

[0040] When the operator pulls the protective plate 301, it moves the protective plate 301 within the slot. At the same time, the slot limits the protective plate 301 to prevent it from shifting position during movement, and the limiting slot 305 and the limiting block 306 further limit it.

[0041] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0042] First, when the operator uses the integrated current sensing connector 1, by pulling the connecting block 304 upward, the protective plate 301 moves upward. The protective plate 301 causes the limiting block 306 to move within the limiting groove 305. The limiting block 306 prevents the protective plate 301 from shifting position during movement. Furthermore, the levers 303 on both sides of the protective plate 301 are deformed by the pressure from the inner wall of the housing 101 and move out of the cavity of the slot 302, simultaneously releasing the locking of the protective plate 301. When the levers 303 move to the outside of the slot 302, due to the levers... The elastic recovery of plate 303 causes the lever 303 to engage with the slot 302, fixing the protective plate 301 in place. This allows the lever to continue moving, moving the protective plate 301 up and down the slot, thus removing the obstruction of the ejector pin 104 by the two protective plates 301. This facilitates the operator's insertion of the connector 1. The current is detected and displayed through the Hall element 103 and the display mechanism 2. This allows the operator to protect the outside of the ejector pin 104 with the two protective plates 301, preventing the ejector pin 104 from bending before use and avoiding affecting the normal use of the connector 1.
