Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to an aviation connector. Background Technology
[0002] Aviation connectors are widely used connection devices in the aerospace, electronics, and industrial fields, primarily for quickly and reliably establishing mating connections between cables, signal lines, or electrical equipment. In the aerospace industry, these connectors are particularly important because they need to ensure stable electrical contact and mechanical locking under conditions of high vibration, high load, or complex environments, preventing signal interruptions or safety hazards caused by accidental dislodgement. Aviation connectors typically consist of a plug and a socket, allowing for connection or disconnection through simple mating and unmating actions, greatly improving installation and maintenance efficiency. In military, aerospace, and industrial automation scenarios, these connectors have become standard interfaces, supporting data transmission, power supply, and control signal transmission. Their design must balance lightweight, durability, and ease of operation to meet the stringent requirements of various application scenarios.
[0003] However, existing aviation connectors still have some shortcomings in practical applications. For example, traditional snap-fit or locking mechanisms often rely on simple physical engagement and lack effective locking auxiliary components, making them prone to loosening due to external vibration or impact after connection, affecting long-term stability. At the same time, insertion and removal operations can be quite laborious, especially in space-constrained or high-frequency use environments, where users need to apply considerable force to complete the connection or separation. This not only increases the difficulty of operation but may also accelerate connector wear and shorten its service life. To address these issues, we propose an aviation connector. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide an aviation connector that can ensure the stability of the connection between the aviation plug and the aviation socket, while facilitating plugging and unplugging, thus effectively solving the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an aviation connector, comprising an aviation plug and a snap-fit assembly;
[0006] Aviation plug: An aviation socket is provided on the right side, and the aviation plug and the aviation socket are plugged together. The right end of the aviation plug is fixed with evenly distributed locking blocks, and the left end of the aviation socket is provided with evenly distributed locking slots. The locking blocks are engaged in the interior of the corresponding locking slots. A reset component is installed on the surface of the aviation socket.
[0007] The snap-fit assembly includes an arc-shaped rod, an annular groove, a connecting strip, and a swivel ring. A snap-fit hole is formed in the center of each snap-fit block, and the arc-shaped rod is snapped into the inside of the hole. An annular groove is formed on the surface of the aviation socket, and all the arc-shaped rods are located inside the annular groove. A connecting strip is fixed to the end face of each arc-shaped rod. A swivel ring is rotatably connected to the surface of the aviation socket, and all the connecting strips are fixed inside the swivel ring. The reset assembly is connected to the swivel ring. The snap-fit assembly is used to fix all the snap-fit blocks in place.
[0008] Furthermore, the reset assembly includes a reset barrel and a torsion spring. The reset barrel is fixed to the surface of the aviation socket, and the torsion spring is sleeved on the surface of the aviation socket. The torsion spring is located inside the reset barrel, and the rotating ring is located at the front end inside the reset barrel. The front end of the torsion spring is fixed to the rear end of the rotating ring, and the rear end of the torsion spring is fixed to the rear end inside the reset barrel. The reset assembly facilitates the reset of the rotating ring.
[0009] Furthermore, an anti-slip ring is fixed on the circumferential surface of the rotating ring, and an iron block is fixed at the upper end of the circumferential surface of the anti-slip ring, which is connected to a magnet by means of the iron block.
[0010] Furthermore, a mounting base is fixed on the circumferential surface of the reset barrel, and a mounting groove is provided on the side of the mounting base. A magnet is installed inside the mounting groove, and the magnet cooperates with the iron block to attract the iron block.
[0011] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixed to the surface of the aviation plug, and the sealing ring fits against the front end of the rotating ring, thereby sealing the gap between the aviation plug and the aviation socket.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This aviation connector has the following advantages:
[0013] 1. In terms of mechanical stability, the rotating ring drives the connecting bar to move all the arc-shaped rods synchronously, allowing multiple arc-shaped rods to accurately insert into the locking holes of the locking block, forming a distributed locking structure. This effectively disperses external force impacts and significantly improves the anti-loosening ability of aviation plugs and sockets in high-vibration environments, ensuring long-term stability of signal transmission.
[0014] 2. The anti-slip ring design combined with the automatic reset function of the torsion spring allows users to complete the locking and unlocking operations by rotating the ring with one hand; the sliding trajectory of the arc rod in the annular groove has been optimized, which greatly reduces the force required for the insertion and removal process, so that the connector can still maintain an efficient and reliable operating experience in confined spaces or frequent insertion and removal scenarios.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: an aviation connector, including an aviation plug 1 and a snap-fit component 4;
[0022] Aviation plug 1: Aviation socket 2 is provided on the right side. Aviation plug 1 and aviation socket 2 are plugged together. The right end of aviation plug 1 is fixed with evenly distributed locking blocks 3. The left end of aviation socket 2 is provided with evenly distributed locking slots. The locking blocks 3 are locked into the corresponding locking slots. The surface of aviation socket 2 is equipped with a reset component 5. The reset component 5 includes a reset barrel 51 and a torsion spring 52. The reset barrel 51 is fixed on the surface of aviation socket 2. The torsion spring 52 is sleeved on the surface of aviation socket 2. The torsion spring 52 is located inside the reset barrel 51. The rotating ring 44 is located at the front end inside the reset barrel 51. The front end of the torsion spring 52 is fixed to the rear end of the rotating ring 44. The rear end of the torsion spring 52 is fixed to the rear end inside the reset barrel 51. The reset component 5 is provided to facilitate the reset of the rotating ring 44.
[0023] The snap-fit assembly 4 includes an arc-shaped rod 41, an annular groove 42, a connecting strip 43, and a rotating ring 44. The center of the snap-fit block 3 has a snap-fit hole, and the arc-shaped rod 41 is snapped into the inside of the snap-fit hole. The surface of the aviation socket 2 has an annular groove, and all the arc-shaped rods 41 are located inside the annular groove. The connecting strip 43 is fixed to the end face of the arc-shaped rod 41. The rotating ring 44 is rotatably connected to the surface of the aviation socket 2. All the connecting strips 43 are fixed inside the rotating ring 44. The reset assembly 5 is connected to the rotating ring 44. All the snap-fit blocks 3 are fixed by setting the snap-fit assembly 4.
[0024] Among them: an anti-slip ring 6 is fixed on the circumferential surface of the rotating ring 44, and an iron block 7 is fixed at the upper end of the circumferential surface of the anti-slip ring 6. The iron block 7 is connected to the magnet 9 by setting it.
[0025] Among them: a mounting base 8 is fixed on the circumferential surface of the reset barrel 51, and a mounting groove is opened on the side of the mounting base 8. A magnet 9 is installed inside the mounting groove. The magnet 9 cooperates with the iron block 7, and the iron block 7 is attracted by the magnet 9.
[0026] Wherein: A sealing ring 10 is fixed on the surface of the aviation plug 1, and the sealing ring 10 fits against the front end of the rotating ring 44. The gap between the aviation plug 1 and the aviation socket 2 is sealed by setting the sealing ring 10.
[0027] The working principle of the aviation connector provided by this utility model is as follows: During the insertion and removal process, the aviation plug 1 is first inserted into the aviation socket 2. At this time, the evenly distributed locking blocks 3 fixed on the right end of the aviation plug 1 are inserted into the corresponding slots on the left end of the aviation socket 2, forming a preliminary mechanical connection. Then, the magnet 9 is separated from the iron block 7. After separation, the rotating ring 44 is rotated under the action of the torsion spring 52, which causes the connecting strip 43 fixed inside the rotating ring 44 to move. The connecting strip 43 pushes the arc rod 41 to slide in the annular groove on the surface of the aviation socket 2. The arc rod 41 is inserted into the locking hole in the middle of the locking block 3, realizing the synchronous locking of multiple locking blocks 3. This ensures that the aviation plug 1 and the aviation socket 2 maintain high stability in a high vibration environment after connection. During the unlocking operation, the magnet 9 is connected to the iron block 7. After connection, all the arc rods 41 are removed from all the locking holes, unlocking the locking blocks 3, which allows the user to directly pull out the aviation plug 1.
