A new type of through-wall connector

Abstract

This utility model discloses a novel through-wall connector, comprising: a housing, multiple terminals, multiple bolts, and a cover plate. The housing is provided with connection holes and multiple insertion holes for inserting the bolt heads and restricting their rotation. The multiple terminals are respectively inserted into the housing through mounting holes at the left end, with the right ends of the terminals extending below or to the right of the insertion holes. The lower ends of the multiple bolts pass through through holes at the right ends of the multiple terminals and extend downwards, with the bolt heads placed in the insertion holes. The bottom of the cover plate is provided with a snap-fit. When the snap-fit ​​is inserted into the connection hole and engages with a snap-fit ​​groove on the side wall of the connection hole, the cover plate blocks all insertion holes. Compared with a connection structure that uses multiple bottom covers to snap-fit ​​the housing and restrict bolts, this connector is simpler and more time-saving to assemble, improving assembly efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to a novel through-wall connector. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, also known domestically as plugs, sockets, or connectors, generally refer to electrical connectors. They are devices that connect two active devices to transmit current or signals.

[0003] While the existing connectors can meet the usage requirements, they still have certain structural shortcomings. Please refer to the attached instruction manual. Figure 1 An existing through-wall connector shown includes a housing A1, multiple terminals A2 inserted into the housing, multiple bolts A3, and multiple bottom covers A4. The lower ends of the multiple bolts pass through the through holes on the multiple terminals and extend downwards. The multiple bottom covers are disposed above the multiple bolts and snap into the housing to prevent the bolts from coming off. Since there are multiple bottom covers, they need to be installed one by one during assembly, which makes the connector assembly time-consuming and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of through-wall connector to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:

[0006] According to one aspect of this utility model, a novel through-wall connector is designed, comprising: a housing, multiple terminals, multiple bolts, and a cover plate. The housing is provided with a connection hole and multiple insertion holes for inserting the screw heads of the bolts and restricting their rotation. The multiple terminals are respectively inserted into the housing through mounting holes at the left end of the housing, and the right ends of the terminals extend to the lower or right side of the insertion holes. The lower ends of the multiple bolts pass through the through holes at the right ends of the multiple terminals and extend downwards. The screw heads of the bolts are placed in the insertion holes. The bottom of the cover plate is provided with a buckle. When the buckle is inserted into the connection hole and engages with the buckle groove on the side wall of the connection hole, the cover plate blocks all insertion holes.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a cover plate that can block all insertion holes is set, and a buckle that engages with the inner wall of the connection hole is set on the cover plate. When the cover plate is engaged with the buckle and the buckle, the cover plate can block all insertion holes and prevent the bolts from coming off. Compared with the connection structure that uses multiple bottom covers to engage with the housing to restrict the bolts, this connector is simpler to assemble, saves time, and can improve assembly efficiency.

[0008] To better address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model also offers a superior technical solution:

[0009] In some embodiments, each of the insertion holes has a first welding protrusion on its upper periphery that contacts the cover plate. In existing connectors, after the bottom cover and housing are snapped together, adhesive is applied to the periphery of the bottom cover to strengthen the connection. Multiple bottom covers require multiple applications of adhesive, impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, adhesive leakage during application can easily cause product contamination, requiring rework or rendering the product unusable. This technology addresses this by providing a first welding protrusion on the upper periphery of the insertion hole in the housing that contacts the cover plate. After the cover plate is attached to the housing, multiple first welding protrusions can be welded to the cover plate simultaneously using ultrasonic welding equipment. Using laser welding not only improves the connection strength but also increases production efficiency.

[0010] In some embodiments, each of the connecting holes is provided with a second welding protrusion in the shape of a U-shape that contacts the cover plate, and the two ends of the second welding protrusion are connected to the first welding protrusion.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first welding protrusion is a quadrilateral, hexagonal, or circular structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, each insertion hole has a connecting hole on its left and right sides, and the number of clips is the same as the number of connecting holes. This provides a more secure fixation for the cover plate. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, and fixing should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] refer to Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a novel through-wall connector, comprising: a housing 1, multiple terminals 2, multiple bolts 3, and a cover plate 4.
