Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A circular electrical connector is a connector with a cylindrical structure and a circular mating surface. Due to its small size, light weight, and quick connection and disconnection capabilities, circular electrical connectors are widely used for electrical connections between instruments and electronic equipment. Currently, circular electrical connectors on the market are mainly divided into two types: one with a metal shell, which has the advantage of long service life and can be used in harsh environments; however, the high cost of metal materials and processing results in a high overall cost. The other type has a pure plastic shell, which has the advantage of low manufacturing cost, but a shorter service life and cannot be used in harsh environments. Therefore, existing circular electrical connectors cannot simultaneously achieve both long service life and low manufacturing cost, hindering their widespread application. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The aforementioned composite electrical connector has at least the following beneficial effects: by setting a first connecting part and a second connecting part, it is convenient to select insulating blocks and protective rings made of different materials according to the installation environment, thereby improving the compatibility and ease of use of the composite electrical connector and reducing the production cost of the composite electrical connector; by setting a protective ring and a connecting ring, the protective ring can be fixedly connected to the connecting ring by inserting a plug into the buckle, ensuring the connection stability of the first connecting part and the second connecting part, and improving the structural integrity and service life of the composite electrical connector.

[0007] Furthermore, the multiple through holes are evenly distributed on the insulating block, and the axial direction of the through holes is parallel to the axial direction of the protective ring. This structure ensures that the through holes can stably accommodate multiple plugs, avoiding short circuits caused by contact between plugs and improving the service life of the composite electrical connector.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model will be further explained below.

[0035] During the production process, based on the usage environment of the composite electrical connector, different types of metal materials are selected for die casting to form the second connecting part 200. The fixing block 230 is distributed on the side of the protective ring 210, and the connecting ring 220 is located below the protective ring 210. The connecting ring 220 has a groove 221, a snap-fit ​​222, and a connecting hole 223. Specifically, the protective ring 210, the connecting ring 220, and the fixing block 230 are integrally formed, eliminating the need for additional riveting operations and simplifying the production process of the composite electrical connector. Next, the second connecting part 200 is placed into a mold, fixing the connecting ring 220 within the mold, and then injection molding or potting is performed. Insulating material is injected into a mold under pressure to form the first connecting part 100. A positioning block 140 is inserted into a groove 221, a plug 150 is inserted into a snap-fit ​​222, and a connecting strip 160 is inserted into a connecting hole 223, so that the second connecting part 200 is stably fixed to the upper end of the first connecting part 100. Simultaneously, through holes 111 for accommodating a plug are formed on the insulating block 110. Multiple through holes 111 are evenly distributed on the insulating block 110, and the axial direction of the through holes 111 is parallel to the axial direction of the protective ring 210. The connecting block 120 has threads 121 on its outer side, and the mounting part 130 has mounting holes 131 for fixing the insulating block 110. The entire production process is fast and controllable. The selection of different materials for the first connecting part 100 and the second connecting part 200 not only improves the flexibility and environmental adaptability of the composite electrical connector but also significantly reduces the production cost of the composite electrical connector.

[0036] During use, the connecting block 120 is quickly and stably fixed to the local device via the thread 121, and the composite electrical connector is stably fixed by inserting a bolt into the mounting hole 131, preventing displacement or loosening of the composite electrical connector. A plug is installed in the through hole 111. When connecting to an external device, the connecting ring 220 is engaged with the connection terminal of the external device via the fixing block 230, electrically connecting the terminal to the plug to establish communication between the local device and the external device. If the first connecting part 100 and the second connecting part 200 become loose under external force, and the connecting strip 160 detaches from the connecting ring 220 and cannot be fixed in the connecting hole 223, the positioning block 140 can be inserted into the groove 221, and the plug 150 can be inserted into the buckle 222 to reinstall the second connecting part 200 onto the first connecting part 100, preventing the plug in the through hole 111 from disconnecting from the connection terminal of the external device and ensuring connectivity between the local device and the external device.

[0037] As can be seen from the above description, the composite electrical connector of this utility model, by setting a first connecting part 100 and a second connecting part 200, facilitates the selection of insulating blocks 110 and protective rings 210 made of different materials according to the installation environment, thereby improving the compatibility and ease of use of the composite electrical connector and reducing the production cost of the composite electrical connector; by setting a protective ring 210 and a connecting ring 220, the protective ring 210 can be inserted into the buckle 222 through the plug 150 and fixedly connected to the connecting ring 220, ensuring the connection stability of the first connecting part 100 and the second connecting part 200, and improving the structural integrity and service life of the composite electrical connector; by setting a fixing block 230, the connecting ring 220 can be quickly and stably fixed to external equipment, avoiding the installation of rivets on the outside of the connecting ring 220, improving the production efficiency of the composite electrical connector, and ensuring the working stability of the composite electrical connector; by setting a first slider 231 and a second connecting part 220, the composite electrical connector can be further improved. The two sliders 232 ensure that the fixing block 230 can be quickly and accurately inserted into the external device via the first slider 231 and fixed via the second slider 232, improving the ease of use of the composite electrical connector. The thread 121 ensures that the first connecting part 100 can be quickly and stably fixed to the local device via the connecting block 120, preventing the first connecting part 100 from loosening during operation and improving the working stability of the composite electrical connector. The mounting hole 131 facilitates the quick and stable fixing of the mounting part 130 to the local device via bolts, improving the installation stability of the first connecting part 100. The connecting hole 223 and the connecting strip 160 effectively improve the connection stability between the connecting ring 220 and the insulating block 110, preventing the first connecting part 100 and the second connecting part 200 from loosening during use, ensuring the structural integrity and service life of the composite electrical connector.
