Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plug technology and relates to a novel quick-connect connector. Background Technology

[0002] In home renovation, junction boxes are an essential electrical accessory. They are used to install switches and sockets because the wires used in renovations run through conduits. At the wire joints, the conduit connects to the junction box. When the wiring is long or the conduit needs to bend, the junction box serves to protect and connect the wires inside the conduit. Junction boxes on the market typically use a built-in plug-in structure when connecting two wires.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. CN201820896907.4 discloses a new type of convenient connector for a junction box, including a junction box and a connector. The junction box and the top cover are fixed by screws passing through screw holes. The two opposite outer sides of the junction box are provided with internal threads. The connection end of the connector is provided with external threads. The connector is fixed to the junction box by passing through a waterproof ring with external threads and being screwed tightly to the junction box with internal threads.

[0004] In the above technical solution, the connector is connected to the junction box by a threaded connection. During processing, it is necessary to roll matching threads on the connector and the junction box for installation, which takes a long time and has high processing costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a novel quick-connect connector.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A novel quick-connect connector includes a body, on which a first interface and a second interface are provided for connecting a junction box and a conduit respectively. The first interface and the second interface are connected. A first snap-fit ​​component is provided on the outer side of the first interface, and a second snap-fit ​​component is provided on the inner side of the second interface. The first snap-fit ​​component is used to snap the junction box, and the second snap-fit ​​component is used to snap the conduit.

[0007] In the aforementioned novel quick-connect connector, the first snap-fit ​​assembly and the second snap-fit ​​assembly have the same structure. The first snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​ring, on which a plurality of outwardly protruding outer snap-fit ​​pieces and inwardly protruding inner snap-fit ​​pieces are provided.

[0008] In the aforementioned novel quick-connect connector, the outer snap-fit ​​tab and the inner snap-fit ​​tab are arranged alternately in sequence.

[0009] In the aforementioned novel quick-connect connector, the main body is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove for installing the first snap-fit ​​component.

[0010] In the aforementioned novel quick-connect connector, the snap ring is provided with several mounting holes for installing the inner snap-fit ​​tab and the outer snap-fit ​​tab.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model sets up a first snap-fit ​​component and a second snap-fit ​​component. The first snap-fit ​​component is sleeved inside the snap-fit ​​contact. When the quick connector is inserted into the junction box, the outer snap-fit ​​piece contacts the wall of the through hole on the junction box, and the outer snap-fit ​​piece is pressed inward by force. Since the forces are mutual, the outer snap-fit ​​piece can generate the same pressure on the hole wall, thereby installing the quick connector onto the junction box. Similarly, when the second snap-fit ​​component is installed in the second interface, the outer snap-fit ​​piece can generate the same pressure on the side wall inside the second interface, thereby installing the second snap-fit ​​component onto the quick connector. When the conduit is inserted into the second snap-fit ​​component, the inner snap-fit ​​piece contacts the wall of the conduit and presses outward. Since the forces are mutual, the inner snap-fit ​​piece can generate the same pressure on the conduit wall, thereby locking the conduit. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;

[0013] Figure 2 This is a side view of the present invention.

[0014] In the diagram, 1 is the main body; 2 is the first interface; 3 is the second interface; 4 is the first snap-fit ​​assembly; 41 is the snap-fit ​​ring; 42 is the outer snap-fit ​​piece; 43 is the inner snap-fit ​​piece; 5 is the second snap-fit ​​assembly; and 6 is the mounting hole. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Example

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a novel quick-connect connector includes a body 1, on which a first interface 2 and a second interface 3 are provided for connecting a junction box and a conduit respectively, and a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the body 1 for installing a first snap-fit ​​component 4.

[0017] The first interface 2 is connected to the second interface 3. A first snap-fit ​​component 4 is provided on the outside of the first interface 2, and a second snap-fit ​​component 5 is provided on the inside of the second interface 3. The first snap-fit ​​component 4 is used to snap-fit ​​the junction box, and the second snap-fit ​​component 5 is used to snap-fit ​​the conduit.

[0018] The first snap-fit ​​assembly 4 and the second snap-fit ​​assembly 5 have the same structure. The first snap-fit ​​assembly 4 includes a snap-fit ​​ring 41, which has several outwardly protruding outer snap-fit ​​pieces 42 and inwardly protruding inner snap-fit ​​pieces 43. Before installation, the snap-fit ​​ring 41 is strip-shaped. The operator wraps it into a ring shape according to the diameter of the snap-fit ​​groove and the second interface 3. During installation, the first snap-fit ​​assembly 4 needs to be welded after the snap-fit ​​ring 41 is wrapped around the snap-fit ​​groove. The first snap-fit ​​assembly 4 can be welded and then inserted into the second interface 3.

[0019] The outer card connector 42 and the inner card connector 43 are arranged alternately in sequence.

[0020] The snap ring 41 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 6 for mounting the inner snap ring 43 and the outer snap ring 42.

[0021] This invention features a first snap-fit ​​component 4 and a second snap-fit ​​component 5. The first snap-fit ​​component 4 is fitted inside the snap-fit ​​contact. When the quick connector is inserted into the junction box, the outer snap-fit ​​piece 42 contacts the wall of the through hole in the junction box, and the outer snap-fit ​​piece 42 is pressed inward. Since the forces are reciprocal, the outer snap-fit ​​piece 42 can generate the same pressure on the hole wall, thus installing the quick connector onto the junction box. Similarly, when the second snap-fit ​​component 5 is installed in the second interface 3, the outer snap-fit ​​piece 42 can generate the same pressure on the side wall inside the second interface 3, thus installing the second snap-fit ​​component 5 onto the quick connector. When the conduit is inserted into the second snap-fit ​​component 5, the inner snap-fit ​​piece 43 contacts the wall of the conduit and presses outward. Since the forces are reciprocal, the inner snap-fit ​​piece 43 can generate the same pressure on the conduit wall, thus securing the conduit.

[0022] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
