[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of specific embodiments. Obviously, the described specific embodiments are only a part of the specific embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the specific embodiments of the present invention, all other specific embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a specific embodiment of a quick-connect dry connector, including a connector body 1, an upper connecting plate 3 at the upper end of the connector body 1, a plurality of terminal interfaces 5 in the middle of the upper connecting plate 3, and a limit structure 6 on one side of each of the plurality of terminal interfaces 5.

[0028] The limiting structure 6 includes a spring 601 and a rotating block 605. A connecting rod 602 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring 601. A connecting plate 603 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 602. A limiting rod 604 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the connecting plate 603.

[0029] The upper end of the rotating block 605 is fixedly connected to a limiting cam 606, and the upper end of the limiting cam 606 has two limiting grooves 607.

[0030] The connector uses a rotating limiting cam 606 to hold the external plug in place, while a spring 601 pulls the limiting rod 604 into the limiting groove 607. This double protection ensures a stable connection and effectively prevents loosening or detachment caused by collisions or vibrations, significantly improving connection reliability and ensuring safety. During disassembly, simply pulling the connecting plate 603 will disengage the limiting rod 604 from the limiting groove 607, requiring no special tools. The operation is simple and quick, greatly saving disassembly time and significantly improving work efficiency.

[0031] Both sides of the connector body 1 are provided with lower connecting plates 2, which can cooperate with the upper connecting plate 3 to enhance the overall structural strength and stability of the connector. It also facilitates fixed installation with other components or equipment. The upper end of the upper connecting plate 3 is provided with a male terminal interface 4, which allows the connector to be easily connected to external equipment or cables to realize the transmission of electrical signals or data. The spring 601 is located inside the upper connecting plate 3, and the lower end of the spring 601 is fixedly connected to the upper connecting plate 3, which helps to protect the spring 601 from the influence of the external environment. At the same time, it can provide stable and controlled reset or elastic force for the limit rod 604. The rotating block 605 is located inside the upper connecting plate 3, and the lower end of the rotating block 605 is rotatably connected to the upper connecting plate 3, which ensures that the rotating block 605 can rotate smoothly and stably, providing a basis for the reliable operation of the limit structure 6.

[0032] Working Principle: In use, the operator first inserts the external plug into terminal interface 5 to complete the initial connection. Then, pulling the connecting plate 603 pulls out the limiting rod 604, preparing for the next locking step. Next, the operator rotates the limiting cam 606, causing its front end to firmly press against the external plug, achieving the first layer of fixation. Then, releasing the connecting plate 603 triggers the internal spring 601, automatically pulling the limiting rod 604 into the limiting groove 607 of the limiting cam 606, forming the second locking mechanism. This dual-protection design ensures the stability of the connection, effectively preventing loosening or detachment due to accidental collisions or vibrations, significantly improving connection reliability and thus ensuring safety during use. When it is necessary to disassemble the connector, the operator pulls the connecting plate 603, causing the limiting rod 604 to slide out of the limiting groove 607, releasing the lock. Then, rotating the limiting cam 606 separates its front end from the external plug, achieving separation of the external plug from terminal interface 5. The entire disassembly process requires no special tools, is extremely simple and quick to operate, greatly saves disassembly time, and significantly improves work efficiency.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
