Abstract
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.
