Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connection equipment, and in particular to a connector with protective effect. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is a precision component used for physical connections between electronic devices, enabling quick plugging and unplugging, stable electrical conduction, or signal transmission between circuit boards or device modules.

[0003] Existing connectors, due to their symmetrical interface design and lack of orientation recognition mechanisms, have led to frequent accidents such as reverse or incorrect insertion, short circuits and burnouts of equipment, and soaring maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, given the lack of orientation recognition mechanism in the existing connectors, which leads to short circuits and burnouts caused by reverse or incorrect insertion, there is an urgent need to design a new type of connector with protective capabilities. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problem that existing connectors, due to the lack of orientation recognition mechanisms, cause short circuits and burnouts in devices caused by reverse or incorrect insertion.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a connector with protective effect, including a base, a plug module disposed on the upper end of the base and two terminal blocks disposed on the bottom of the base, an auxiliary identification module disposed at the front end of the base, and a placement module disposed in the middle of the upper end of the base; the plug module includes connecting terminals, two connecting terminals are fixedly connected to the base, the two connecting terminals are asymmetrically arranged, and a reinforcing fixing module is disposed on the outer surface of both connecting terminals.

[0007] Preferably, by setting connection terminals, since the two connection terminals are asymmetrical engaging components, a directional guiding effect is naturally generated when they are plugged into the corresponding socket or mating part. Only when the operator is in the correct direction and at the correct angle can the plug module be smoothly pushed into place. This achieves the purpose of preventing adverse consequences caused by incorrect connection, and solves the problem that existing connectors, due to their symmetrical interface design and lack of direction recognition mechanism, frequently cause reverse or incorrect insertion accidents, equipment short circuits and burnouts, and soaring maintenance costs.

[0008] Preferably, the reinforcing fixing module includes a main protrusion, two main protrusions are fixedly connected to their corresponding connecting terminals, and secondary protrusions are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the two connecting terminals.

[0009] Preferably, the upper ends of the two terminal blocks are fixedly connected to the lower ends of their corresponding connection terminals, and the lower ends of the terminal blocks are provided with mounting modules.

[0010] Preferably, the installation module includes a connecting plate, which is fixedly connected to the terminal block, and a connector is provided at the front end of the connecting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the connector includes a connecting hole located at the center of the front end of the connecting plate, and limit holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the front end of the connecting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the guide module includes guide feet located on the front right side of the base, which help workers determine the direction of use of the device.

[0013] Preferably, the placement module includes a placement slot located on the upper front side of the base, which provides an installation position for the connecting wires.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. When the asymmetrically designed connecting terminals are matched with the corresponding sockets, a directional guiding effect is naturally formed, ensuring that the operator can only complete the insertion in the correct direction and angle, thereby preventing incorrect connection. This design actively prevents errors through physical structure, without relying on the operator's experience, simplifying the docking process, improving operational intuition, avoiding terminal damage or poor contact caused by reverse or tilted insertion, enhancing connection reliability, and reducing the risk of human error.

[0016] 2. After fixing the connecting plate to the mounting surface through the connecting holes, screw the bolts in through the limit holes on both sides to prevent the connecting plate from tilting and ensure stable fixing. This design enhances the installation accuracy of the connecting plate, avoids offset, improves structural stability, reduces the risk of loosening, and prevents poor contact or mechanical stress concentration caused by tilting.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a connector with protective effect, including a base 1, a plug module disposed on the upper end of the base 1, and two terminal blocks 10 disposed on the bottom of the base 1. An auxiliary identification module is disposed at the front end of the base 1, and a placement module is disposed in the middle of the upper end of the base 1. The plug module includes two connecting terminals 2, which are fixedly connected to the base 1. The two connecting terminals 2 are asymmetrically arranged, and a reinforcing fixing module is disposed on the outer surface of each of the two connecting terminals 2. By setting the connecting terminals 2, since the two connecting terminals 2 are asymmetrically engaging components, a directional guiding effect is naturally generated when they are inserted with the corresponding socket or mating parts. Only when the operator is in the correct direction and at the correct angle can the plug module be smoothly pushed into place, thereby preventing adverse consequences caused by incorrect connection.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the reinforcing fixing module includes a main protrusion 3, two main protrusions 3 are fixedly connected to their corresponding connecting terminals 2, and secondary protrusions 4 are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the two connecting terminals 2. By setting the main protrusions 3 and secondary protrusions 4, when the matching plug is inserted into the connecting terminal 2, the main protrusions 3 and secondary protrusions 4 will cooperate with the slots inside the socket to provide a physical obstacle or locking point, which greatly increases the force required to pull out the plug, thereby preventing the connection from being accidentally disconnected due to vibration, accidental pulling or its own weight. The upper ends of the two terminal blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of their corresponding connecting terminals 2. An installation module is provided at the lower end of the terminal block 10. By setting the terminal block 10, the upper end of the terminal block 10 is rigidly connected to the lower end of the connecting terminal 2, and the installation module is integrated at the lower end of the terminal block 10, so that the terminal block 10 becomes an electrical conduction bridge between the connecting terminal 2 and the external device, thereby achieving the purpose of reliable connection between the internal and external circuits of the device.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, the installation module includes a connecting plate 5, which is fixedly connected to the terminal block 10. A connector is provided at the front end of the connecting plate 5, including a connecting hole 6 located at the center of the front end of the connecting plate 5. Limiting holes 7 are provided on both the left and right sides of the front end of the connecting plate 5. By providing the connecting holes 6, after confirming the installation position of the connecting plate 5, external bolts are screwed into the mounting surface through the connecting holes 6, thereby fixing the connecting plate 5. Then, by providing the two limiting holes 7, after the connecting plate 5 is fixed, external bolts are screwed into the limiting holes 7 on both sides, thus preventing the connecting plate 5 from being tilted after installation, thereby achieving a fixed connection. The purpose of the device is to guide the module, which includes guide feet 9. Guide feet 9 are located on the front right side of the base 1. Guide feet 9 are used to help workers identify the direction of use of this device. By setting guide feet 9, workers can quickly identify the appropriate use position when picking up and using the connector, thereby facilitating the work of workers. The placement module includes a placement slot 8, which is located on the upper front side of the base 1. Placement slot 8 is used to provide an installation position for the connecting cable. By setting placement slot 8, the cable has an installation position after the connector is connected to the external cable, avoiding the cable from being bent after connection, thereby assisting in the installation of the cable.

[0027] When the operator inserts the plug module into the corresponding socket, the asymmetrically arranged connecting terminals 2 provide directional guidance. Only when inserted in the correct direction and angle can it be fully inserted. During the insertion process, the main protrusion 3 on the outer surface of the connecting terminal 2 and the secondary protrusion 4 on the opposite side cooperate with the slot inside the socket to form a physical locking point, greatly increasing the pull-out force and preventing accidental disconnection. When installing the connector, it is fixed with bolts through the connecting hole 6 at the front end of the connecting plate 5 and the limiting holes 7 on both sides to ensure that the connector is installed firmly and without tilting. The guide foot 9 at the front end of the base 1 helps to quickly identify the direction of use, while the upper placement slot 8 provides a neat installation position for the connecting cable and avoids bending the cable.

[0028] Through the above steps, by setting the connection terminals 2, since the two connection terminals 2 are asymmetrical engaging components, a directional guiding effect is naturally formed when they are inserted with the matching socket or mating parts. Only under the conditions of accurate direction and appropriate angle can the operator successfully push the plug module to the designated position. This achieves the goal of avoiding potential faults caused by incorrect connection direction, thus solving the problem that existing connectors, due to their symmetrical interface design and lack of direction recognition mechanism, frequently cause reverse or incorrect insertion accidents, equipment short circuits and burnouts, and soaring maintenance costs.
