Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of audio cable connectors, specifically relating to an improved XLR converter connector. Background Technology

[0002] XLR adapters are widely used connectors in professional audio equipment. With their stability, anti-interference and high-quality signal transmission, they have become one of the core technology products in the professional audio field and are widely used in recording, performance, broadcasting and other scenarios.

[0003] Traditional XLR adapters, used for converting XLR male and female connectors, generally include an adapter with male and female connectors at both ends. The adapter can be straight or bent. In order to better adapt to actual use environments, both the male and female connectors need to be rotated. However, in the existing technology, especially the bent type XLR adapter, the rotation operation is relatively cumbersome. Some products are locked with bolts, and when rotation is required, the bolts must be loosened with a screwdriver. Angle adjustment and disassembly are inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above situation, this application further designs and improves the XLR adapter. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an improved XLR adapter connector, whose male and female connectors can rotate flexibly, making it better adaptable to actual usage environments.

[0007] An improved XLR adapter includes an adapter head with a male and a female connector at both ends, each end having a locking mechanism. The male connector has a male housing with a male groove, and the locking mechanism at one end of the adapter head can engage and slide within this groove, allowing the male connector and the adapter head to rotate relative to each other. The female connector has a female housing with a female groove, and the locking mechanism at the other end of the adapter head can engage and slide within this groove, allowing the female connector and the adapter head to rotate relative to each other.

[0008] In the XLR adapter connector of this application, when the male and female connectors are assembled at both ends of the adapter, they are assembled by snapping into the slide groove with a clip. The assembly operation is convenient and not easy to fall out. After assembly, the clip can slide in the corresponding slide groove, which means that the male and female connectors can rotate flexibly and the angle can be easily adjusted.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the male head slide groove consists of two oppositely arranged arc-shaped slide grooves, and the female head slide groove consists of two oppositely arranged arc-shaped slide grooves. Both ends of the adapter are provided with two oppositely arranged locking components. This structure ensures good stability, high strength, and resistance to dislodgement after assembly.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the arc of the arc-shaped groove is 90°~120°, preferably 100°, which can well adapt to the actual use environment.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, both the male and female head grooves are fitted with colored rings to cover the corresponding grooves and ensure the integrity of the outer surfaces.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the color ring is an arc-shaped ring with a notch. The color ring has a positioning notch, the male head housing is provided with a matching male head positioning block, and the female head housing is provided with a matching female head positioning block. During assembly, the notch on the color ring is engaged with the corresponding positioning block, which facilitates positioning and assembly.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, both ends of the adapter are provided with protruding abutments, which abut against the inner core structure of the male and female connectors respectively to prevent the inner core from axially shaking.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the adapter is a bent-type adapter.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the adapter is a right-angle adapter.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: it provides an improved XLR adapter connector, which allows the male and female connectors to rotate flexibly through the sliding assembly relationship between the clip and the slide, and can better adapt to the actual use environment.
