Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to an easy-to-maintain connector. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is a connection structure for connecting electronic components. It typically includes a plug and a socket. The plug has pins, and the socket has holes that mate with the pins. The pins contact the sidewall of the hole, and the sidewall of the hole is electrically connected to one of the electronic components. The pins are electrically connected to another electronic component. The electrical connection between the two electronic components is achieved by the mating of the pins and the hole.

[0003] In existing technologies, connectors and sockets are typically integrated structures. For connectors that require frequent assembly or disassembly, the socket's holes are prone to wear. When the holes wear down to a certain extent, the entire socket needs to be replaced. Since the socket and cable are usually integrated, replacing the entire socket results in high connector maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, connectors in the prior art have technical problems such as difficult maintenance and high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0035] The specific embodiments shown below are intended to describe various configurations of the subject matter of this invention and are not intended to represent the only configuration in which the subject matter of this invention can be practiced. The specific embodiments include detailed descriptions intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter of this invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of this invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.

[0036] Understandably, in this document, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and are not intended to expressly or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0037] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an easy-to-maintain connector includes a socket assembly 1;

[0039] A plug assembly 2, which is inserted into the socket assembly 1;

[0040] The plug assembly 2 is electrically connected to the connector 3 via the socket assembly 1.

[0041] The socket assembly 1 includes a base 11 and a connector 12 disposed on the base 11. The connector 12 is fixed to the base 11 by a detachable connection, and the connector 12 is provided with a socket 121.

[0042] The plug assembly 2 is provided with a first pin 21 that mates with the socket 121;

[0043] The connecting component 3 is fixed to the base 11 by a detachable connection, and the connecting component 3 is provided with a second pin 31 that cooperates with the socket 121.

[0044] Understandably, the first pin 21 is electrically connected to a cable. The second pin 31 is also electrically connected to a cable. When the socket 121 on the connector 12 wears down to a certain extent and the connector 12 needs to be replaced, the connector 12 can be easily removed and replaced separately, without having to replace the entire socket assembly 1 and the cable installed on the socket assembly 1 as a whole, effectively reducing the maintenance cost of the connector.

[0045] In some embodiments, the base 11 is provided with a positioning block 111 for positioning the connecting body 12, and the connecting body 12 is provided with a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning block 111.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the positioning block 111 is used to position the connector 12 relative to the base 11. The socket 121 on the connector 12 is respectively engaged with the second pin 31. Therefore, the connector 12 and the base 11 need to have higher positional accuracy to prevent the first pin 21 and / or the second pin 31 from being misaligned with the socket 121.

[0047] The use of positioning block 111 in conjunction with positioning groove can effectively improve the positional accuracy of connector 12 relative to base 11, and the first pin 21 or / and the second pin 31 will not be misaligned with the socket 121.

[0048] In some embodiments, the base 11 is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the connector 12, the positioning block 111 protrudes from the bottom wall of the receiving groove, the positioning block 111 and the base 11 are integral structures, and the cross-sectional shape of the positioning block 111 is polygonal.

[0049] There can be one or more positioning blocks 111. The number of positioning blocks 111 is not limited and can be reasonably determined according to needs.

[0050] In some embodiments, a guide plate 112 is provided at one end of the base 11 near the plug, and the guide plate 112 is provided with a guide hole, through which the plug assembly 2 cooperates with the socket assembly 1.

[0051] The arrangement of the guide plate 112 and the guide hole enables the plug assembly 2 to have higher positional accuracy relative to the socket assembly 1, thereby enabling the first pin 21 to have higher positional accuracy relative to the socket 121.

[0052] When the socket assembly 1 and the plug assembly 2 are assembled, the first pin 21 is not easily damaged.

[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the plug assembly 2 is provided with a guide plate 22, which cooperates with the guide hole to define the relative position of the first pin 21 and the socket 121.

[0054] In some embodiments, the length of the first pin 21 extending out of the plug assembly 2 is less than the length of the guide plate 22 extending out of the plug assembly 2.

[0055] In some embodiments, the connecting component 3, the plug component 2, and the connector 12 are all fixed to the base 11 by screws 32.

[0056] In some embodiments, both the base 11 and the connector 12 are provided with through holes through which the screw 32 passes, and both the connector 3 and the plug assembly 2 are provided with holes that mate with the screw 32. The through holes communicate with the holes, the screw 32 passes through the holes and the through holes, and the screw 32 is provided with a nut 33.

[0057] In some embodiments, there are two screws 32, which are located on opposite sides of the base 11.

[0058] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the screw 32 includes a rod body 321 with a polygonal cross-sectional shape. One end of the rod body 321 is provided with a limiting head 322, and the other end of the rod body 321 is provided with a stud 323. The stud 323 cooperates with the nut 33. The stud 323 and the rod body 321 are an integral structure, and the limiting head 322 and the rod body 321 are also an integral structure.

[0059] In some embodiments, the socket assembly 1 is further provided with a mounting plate for mounting the socket assembly 1 to a target location, the mounting plate having mounting holes. The mounting plate typically secures the socket assembly 1 to the housing of the electronic component.

[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, before assembling the socket assembly 1 and the housing of the electronic components, the connector 12 is first installed on the base 11 to ensure a more accurate position of the connector 12 relative to the base 11. Then, the connector assembly 3 is assembled onto the base 11, allowing the second pin 31 to engage with the socket 121. At this point, the position of the connector 12 relative to the base 11 is determined.

[0061] Next, screw 32 is inserted into connector 12, base 11, and connecting assembly 3. Finally, the socket assembly 1 and connecting assembly 3 are fixed to the housing of the electronic component using the assembly plate. When connector 12 needs to be replaced, connector 12 can be removed and replaced separately, reducing the maintenance cost of the connector.

[0062] When the plug assembly 2 and the socket assembly 1 are engaged, the plug assembly 2 is fitted onto the screw 32. At this time, the position of the plug assembly 2 relative to the socket assembly 1 has been determined. The plug assembly 2 is pushed so that the guide plate 22 engages with the guide hole. At this time, the plug assembly 2 and the socket assembly 1 have higher positional accuracy. The plug assembly 2 is pushed further so that the first pin 21 engages with the socket 121. After the plug assembly 2 and the socket assembly 1 are assembled in place, the nut 33 is used to lock the position of the plug assembly 2 and the connecting assembly 3 relative to the base 11.

[0063] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.

[0064] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments according to their needs to achieve a better application experience.
