Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an energy storage connector, specifically a lockable energy storage connector, and belongs to the field of energy storage connector technology. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage connectors are essential components for connecting battery energy storage groups in series and parallel. Energy storage connectors are divided into two parts: plugs and sockets. When switching battery groups, the plugs and sockets of the energy storage connectors are separated or connected.

[0003] A storage connector disclosed in Chinese patent application publication CN220122244U features a mechanism where a worker rotates a movable sleeve to rotate a limiting block, while a first sliding groove slides along the outer wall of two sets of connecting blocks. This mechanism limits the position of the plug and socket, preventing them from detaching and improving the connection strength of the storage connector. Consequently, the connector becomes more practical. Furthermore, the connection of four sets of first anti-slip rings and four sets of second anti-slip rings allows the worker to grip the connecting sleeve, thus preventing the main body of the first connector from falling off.

[0004] The solutions in the above patents limit the plug and socket, preventing them from falling off and improving the robustness of the energy storage connector connection, thus increasing the practicality of the energy storage connector. However, it is difficult to protect the connection between the plug and socket, which can easily lead to the entry of external moisture and dust, thereby affecting the stability and safety of the connection.

[0005] Therefore, a lockable energy storage connector is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention proposes a lockable energy storage connector that can limit the movement between the plug and socket to prevent them from falling off, while also protecting the connection between the plug and socket to improve the stability and safety of the connection.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a lockable energy storage connector, including a first connector body and a second connector body, wherein a plug and a socket are respectively installed at one end of the first connector body and the second connector body that are close to each other, and the plug and the socket are plugged into each other, and a limiting component is provided on the first connector body and the second connector body.

[0008] The limiting component includes two through slots formed on the plug. The inner walls of the two through slots are slidably connected to sliding plates. A spring is fixed to the side of the two sliding plates that are close to each other, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the inner wall of the through slot. A locking block and a pressing rod are fixed to the side of the two sliding plates that are far from each other, and the ends of the locking block and the pressing rod that are far from the sliding plates extend to the outside of the plug.

[0009] Furthermore, a protective ring is fixed on the side of the second connector body near the first connector body. The protective ring has a slot inside, and a locking block engages with the slot. The side of the locking block near the second connector body is sloped. The inner diameter of the protective ring is the same as the outer diameter of the plug.

[0010] Furthermore, the plug has a first groove, and the outer surface of the push rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the plug is provided with a second sliding groove, and the outer surface of the locking block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer surface of the socket is provided with a limiting strip, and the inside of the plug is provided with a limiting groove, and the limiting strip is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a fixing sleeve is provided on the outer surface of the bottom of the first connector body, and an anti-slip pad is provided on the outer surface of the fixing sleeve.

[0014] This invention provides a securely lockable energy storage connector, which has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This securely lockable energy storage connector involves inserting a plug on the first connector body into a socket on the second connector body. During insertion, one side of the protective ring presses against the inclined surface of the locking block, causing it to move through the second sliding groove on the plug into the through slot. Simultaneously, the movement of the locking block causes the sliding plate to press against the spring, generating elastic force. When the slot on the protective ring coincides with the position of the locking block, the sliding plate, under the elastic force of the spring, can drive the locking block to engage with the slot on the protective ring, limiting the position of the protective ring. This limits the connection between the first and second connector bodies, preventing them from falling off. Furthermore, the protective ring protects the connection between the plug and socket, improving the stability and safety of the connection. Attached Figure Description

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

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention proposes the following implementation scheme: a lockable energy storage connector, including a first connector body 1 and a second connector body 3, wherein a plug 101 and a socket 301 are respectively installed at one end of the first connector body 1 and the second connector body 3 that are close to each other, and the plug 101 and the socket 301 are plugged into each other, and a limiting component 2 is provided on the first connector body 1 and the second connector body 3.

[0028] The first connector body 1 has a fixing sleeve 4 on its bottom outer surface, and the fixing sleeve 4 has an anti-slip pad 401 on its outer surface.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 and Figure 5The limiting component 2 includes two through slots 201 formed on the plug 101. The inner walls of the two through slots 201 are slidably connected to the slide plates 202. The sides of the two slide plates 202 that are close to each other are fixed with springs 203, and the other ends of the springs 203 are fixed to the inner walls of the through slots 201. The sides of the two slide plates 202 that are far from each other are fixed with a locking block 204 and a pressing rod 205, and the ends of the locking block 204 and the pressing rod 205 that are far from the slide plates 202 extend to the outside of the plug 101.

[0030] A protective ring 207 is fixed on the side of the second connector body 3 near the first connector body 1. A slot 206 is provided inside the protective ring 207, and a locking block 204 is engaged with the slot 206. The side of the locking block 204 near the second connector body 3 is set with an angle. The inner diameter of the protective ring 207 is the same as the outer diameter of the plug 101.

[0031] The plug 101 has a first groove 208, and the outer surface of the push rod 205 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first groove 208.

[0032] The plug 101 has a second groove 209, and the outer surface of the locking block 204 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second groove 209.

[0033] By inserting the plug 101 on the first connector body 1 into the socket 301 on the second connector body 3, during the insertion process, one side of the protective ring 207 will press the inclined surface of the locking block 204, causing it to move through the second sliding groove 209 on the plug 101 into the through groove 201. At the same time, the movement of the locking block 204 can drive the sliding plate 202 to press the spring 203, causing it to generate elastic force. When the locking groove 206 on the protective ring 207 coincides with the position of the locking block 204, the sliding plate 202 can drive the locking block 204 to engage in the locking groove 206 on the protective ring 207 under the elastic force of the spring 203, thus limiting the position of the protective ring 207, thereby limiting the connection between the first connector body 1 and the second connector body 3 and preventing them from falling off. At the same time, the protective ring 207 can protect the connection between the plug 101 and the socket 301, improving the stability and safety of the connection.

[0034] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer surface of the socket 301 is provided with a limiting strip 3011, and the inside of the plug 101 is provided with a limiting groove 1011. The limiting strip 3011 is inserted into the limiting groove 1011, which can guide and limit the connection between the plug 101 and the socket 301, while making the card block 204 and the card slot 206 on the same horizontal line.

[0035] In use, this invention involves inserting the plug 101 on the first connector body 1 into the socket 301 on the second connector body 3, while simultaneously inserting the limiting strip 3011 on the socket 301 into the limiting groove 1011 on the plug 101. During this insertion process, one side of the protective ring 207 presses against the inclined surface of the locking block 204, causing it to move through the second sliding groove 209 on the plug 101 into the through groove 201. Simultaneously, the movement of the locking block 204 drives the sliding plate 202 to press against the spring 203, generating elasticity. When the locking groove 206 on the protective ring 207 coincides with the position of the locking block 204, the sliding... Under the elastic force of the spring 203, the plate 202 can drive the locking block 204 to engage with the slot 206 on the protective ring 207, limiting the position of the protective ring 207, thereby limiting the connection between the first connector body 1 and the second connector body 3 and preventing them from falling off. At the same time, the protective ring 207 can protect the connection between the plug 101 and the socket 301, improving the stability and safety of the connection. When it is necessary to separate them, press down the lever 205 to move the slide plate 202. The slide plate 202 drives the locking block 204 to move out of the slot 206, and then they can be separated.
