Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial wire harness technology, specifically to an expandable industrial wire harness connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial wire harness connection structures are physical carriers used in industrial equipment for energy transmission, signal interaction, and data communication. They integrate and encapsulate multiple wires, cables, optical fibers, etc., and are combined with connectors, protective layers, branch modules, and other components. The connector contacts are gold-plated or silver-plated, and an elastic buffer section is added between the wire harness and the connector. Industrial wire harness connection structures are used in intelligent manufacturing production lines, new energy equipment, aerospace, and other fields. Among them, scalability is an important feature of industrial wire harness connection structures.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN219874291U, entitled "A Connection Structure for Wire Harnesses in Industrial Equipment," includes a first housing, a first cover plate at one end of the first housing, a connecting block on one side of the first housing, protrusions on both sides of the connecting block, a third cover plate at one end of the first housing, two identical plugs on one side of the third cover plate, a second housing at one side of the first housing, a second cover plate at one end of the second housing, two identical grooves at one end of the interior of the second housing, insertion holes at both ends of the grooves, wire-locking blocks at one end of the interior of the first and second housings, a clamping plate at one end of the wire-locking block, sliding grooves on both sides of the clamping plate, two identical racks at one end of the clamping plate, a gear on one side of the racks, a rotating rod at one end of the gear, a knob at one end of the rotating rod, a first cover plate movably connected to one end of the first housing, and a second cover plate movably connected to one end of the second housing.

[0004] While the existing technologies can achieve the connection of the connection structure, in practical use, on the one hand, the scalability of the connection structure is not good enough. Usually, the wire is fixedly connected to the base, making it difficult to remove the wire harness from the base, thus reducing the flexibility of the connection structure. On the other hand, the connection structure is difficult to position. Usually, the connection structure is symmetrically designed, which makes it easy to insert the wire harness backwards when blindly inserting it, thus affecting the use of the connection structure. Therefore, it does not meet the current needs. In response, we propose an scalable industrial wire harness connection structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an expandable industrial wire harness connection structure to solve the problems of insufficient expandability of the connection structure and difficulty in connection positioning mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an expandable industrial wire harness connection structure, including a first base and a second base. A wire box is fixedly installed on one side of the first base and the second base. A slot is provided at the center of the wire box. The slot has an open structure. Fixed cavities are provided at the front and rear ends of the wire box. The fixed cavities are connected to the slot. A wire seat is provided inside the slot. One side of the wire seat extends to the outside of the slot, and the wire seat slides with the slot. Fixed rods are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the wire seat. The fixed rods extend into the inside of the fixed cavities.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing rod has a through hole inside, the through hole is a through structure, and a snap-fit ​​rod is fixedly installed on one side inside the fixing cavity. The snap-fit ​​rod extends into the through hole, and the side of the snap-fit ​​rod near the opening of the fixing cavity is an oblique structure.

[0008] Preferably, a female conductor is fixedly provided on the other side of the outside of the first base, and a sliding groove is provided on the upper part and the front and rear ends of the female conductor, and the sliding groove has a through structure.

[0009] Preferably, a male base shell is fixedly installed on the other side of the second base. One side of the male base shell has an open structure, and the female base conductor extends into the interior of the male base shell. Positioning rods are fixedly installed at the upper end and front and rear ends of the interior of the male base shell, and the positioning rods extend into the interior of the slide groove.

[0010] Preferably, the front and rear ends of the first base are fixedly provided with fixing hooks, and the front and rear ends of the second base are fixedly provided with snap-fit ​​frames. The fixing hooks extend into the interior of the snap-fit ​​frames and are snap-fitted and fixed to the snap-fit ​​frames.

[0011] Preferably, the second base is fixedly provided with a male conductor at the center position inside the male seat shell, and the male conductor extends into the interior of the female conductor.

[0012] Preferably, a wire body is fixedly provided on one side of the wire holder, and the wire body is electrically connected to the conductive pin. A socket is fixedly provided on the other side of the slot, the conductive pin extends into the socket, and the socket is electrically connected to the female and male conductors.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This utility model allows for quick assembly and disassembly of wires via a fixing rod and a snap-fit ​​rod. When it is necessary to assemble or disassemble the wire holder, the operator first pulls the fixing rod to move it outward until the snap-fit ​​rod disengages from the through hole. Then, the operator pulls the wire box and the wire holder until the conductive pin on the wire holder is removed from the slot. The wire holder is then aligned with the opening of the new wire box and inserted into the wire box. At the same time, the fixing rod enters the fixing cavity. As the fixing rod moves, it is first lifted by the inclined surface on the snap-fit ​​rod and continues to push the wire holder until the snap-fit ​​rod is moved to the appropriate position. At this time, the through hole on the fixing rod aligns with the snap-fit ​​rod, and the fixing rod resets, allowing the snap-fit ​​rod to enter the through hole, thus completing the replacement of the wire holder and improving the expandability of the connection structure.

[0015] (2) This utility model can position and connect the connector through the positioning rod and the sliding groove. When connecting the connection structure, the female conductor is aligned with the opening of the male housing and inserted into the male housing. At the same time, the positioning rod enters the sliding groove until the second base is pushed to the appropriate position. At this time, the positioning rod moves to the appropriate position. If the connection structure is reversed, the positioning rod at the upper end of the male housing will abut against the lower end of the female conductor, so that the male conductor cannot enter the female conductor. At this time, the operator adjusts the direction of the connection structure to avoid the connection structure being reversed.

[0016] (3) This utility model can quickly fix the connector through the snap-fit ​​frame and the fixing hook. When the connection structure is connected, the wire seat is connected to the first base and the second base. At this time, the male conductor is aligned with the opening of the female conductor and inserted into the female conductor. As the second base moves, the fixing hook on the first base enters the snap-fit ​​frame. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​frame squeezes the fixing hook, causing the fixing hook to bend. Continue to push the second base until the fixing hook penetrates the snap-fit ​​frame. At this time, the fixing hook is reset, so that the fixing hook is snapped and fixed with the snap-fit ​​frame, thus completing the connection structure and improving the convenience of the connection mechanism.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an expandable industrial wire harness connection structure, including a first base 1 and a second base 2. A wire box 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the outside of both the first base 1 and the second base 2. A male conductor 15 is fixedly installed at the center of the second base 2 inside the male housing 13. The male conductor 15 extends into the inside of the female conductor 14. A wire body 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the outside of the wire seat 5. The wire body 6 is electrically connected to a conductive pin 19. A socket 18 is fixedly installed on the other side of the slot 4. The conductive pin 19 extends into the inside of the socket 18, and the socket 18 is electrically connected to the female conductor 14 and the male conductor 15.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A slot 4 is provided at the center of the inside of the cable box 3. The slot 4 has an open structure. The front and rear ends of the cable box 3 are provided with fixing cavities 7, which are connected to the slot 4. The slot 4 is provided with a cable holder 5. One side of the cable holder 5 extends to the outside of the slot 4, and the cable holder 5 slides with the slot 4. The front and rear ends of the cable holder 5 are fixedly provided with fixing rods 9, which extend into the inside of the fixing cavity 7. The fixing rods 9 are provided with through holes 10, which are through structures. One side of the fixing cavity 7 is fixedly provided with a snap-fit ​​rod 8, which extends into the inside of the through hole 10. The side of the snap-fit ​​rod 8 near the opening of the fixing cavity 7 is inclined, which facilitates the fixing of the cable holder 5 by snap-fit ​​rod 8 and fixing rod 9.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3A female conductor 14 is fixedly installed on the other side of the outer side of the first base 1. The upper part and the front and rear ends of the female conductor 14 are provided with sliding grooves 17. The sliding grooves 17 have a through structure. A male housing 13 is fixedly installed on the other side of the outer side of the second base 2. One side of the male housing 13 has an open structure, and the female conductor 14 extends into the interior of the male housing 13. The upper end and the front and rear ends of the male housing 13 are fixedly installed with positioning rods 16. The positioning rods 16 extend into the interior of the sliding grooves 17, which facilitates the positioning and connection of the female conductor 14 through the positioning rods 16.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The front and rear ends of the first base 1 are fixedly provided with fixing hooks 11, and the front and rear ends of the second base 2 are fixedly provided with snap-fit ​​frames 12. The fixing hooks 11 extend into the interior of the snap-fit ​​frames 12, and the fixing hooks 11 and snap-fit ​​frames 12 are snap-fitted and fixed, so as to connect and fix the first base 1 and the second base 2 through the fixing hooks 11 and snap-fit ​​frames 12.

[0027] Working principle: In use, align the female connector conductor 14 with the opening of the male connector housing 13 and insert it into the male connector housing 13. At the same time, the positioning rod 16 enters the slide groove 17 until the second base 2 is pushed to the appropriate position. At this time, if the connection structure is reversed, the positioning rod 16 at the upper end of the male connector housing 13 will abut against the lower end of the female connector conductor 14, preventing the male connector conductor 15 from entering the female connector conductor 14. At this time, the operator adjusts the direction of the connection structure. Simultaneously, as the second base 2 moves, the fixing hook 11 on the first base 1 enters the snap-fit ​​frame 12. The snap-fit ​​frame 12 squeezes the fixing hook 11, causing the fixing hook 11 to bend. Continue pushing the second base 2 until the fixing hook 11 penetrates the snap-fit ​​frame 12. At this time, the fixing hook is fixed. Hook 11 is reset so that the fixing hook 11 is locked in place with the snap-fit ​​frame 12. When it is necessary to disassemble or assemble the cable holder 5, the operator first pulls the fixing rod 9 so that the fixing rod 9 moves outward until the snap-fit ​​rod 8 disengages from the through hole 10. At this time, the operator pulls the cable box 3 and the cable holder 5 until the conductive pin 19 on the cable holder 5 is removed from the slot 4. Then the cable holder 5 is aligned with the opening of the new cable box 3 and inserted into the cable box 3. At the same time, the fixing rod 9 enters the fixing cavity 7. As the fixing rod 9 moves, the fixing rod 9 is first pushed up by the inclined surface on the snap-fit ​​rod 8 and continues to push the cable holder 5 until the snap-fit ​​rod 8 is moved to the appropriate position. At this time, the through hole 10 on the fixing rod 9 is aligned with the snap-fit ​​rod 8. At the same time, the fixing rod 9 is reset so that the snap-fit ​​rod 8 enters the through hole 10.
