[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tools for connector assembly, and in particular to a connector housing positioning tool for connector assembly. Background Technology

[0002] When installing the housing, circlip, and threaded sleeve in a connector assembly, the circlip is first clamped into the annular groove on the housing using a tooling fixture, and then the housing is pressed into the threaded sleeve using a manual press to complete the installation.

[0003] Existing clamps typically use screws or similar structures to clamp or release. This type of clamp is complex to operate and has low clamping or releasing efficiency, resulting in low connector assembly efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, existing positioning tools for clamping connector housings have technical problems such as being difficult to operate and having low clamping or loosening efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a connector housing positioning tool for connector assembly, which solves the technical problems of existing positioning tools for clamping connector housings being difficult to operate and having low clamping or loosening efficiency.

[0006] Some implementation schemes for solving the above-mentioned technical problems include:

[0007] A connector housing positioning tool for connector assembly, comprising a frame;

[0008] The clamping arms are two in number, and both clamping arms are slidably connected to the frame.

[0009] A drive mechanism for driving the two clamping arms to move closer or further apart to clamp or release the connector housing;

[0010] The handle, via the drive mechanism, drives the two clamping arms to move closer or further apart;

[0011] The drive mechanism includes a rotary ring rotatably connected to the frame, and the rotary ring is driven by the handle;

[0012] Each clamping arm is provided with a transmission column, and the rotary ring is provided with a drive groove that brings the transmission columns of the two clamping arms closer to each other. The transmission columns of the two clamping arms are located between the opposite side walls of the drive groove.

[0013] The rotary ring is also provided with a drive block that moves the transmission columns of the two clamping arms away from each other, and the drive block is located between the transmission columns of the two clamping arms.

[0014] Preferably, the clamping arm includes a base, the base being engaged with a clamping block that contacts the connector housing, the clamping block being provided with a clamping groove.

[0015] Preferably, the clamping block is provided with a locking block, and the base is provided with a locking groove that cooperates with the locking block. The locking block is engaged with the locking groove from top to bottom, and the width of the side of the locking block that contacts the clamping block is smaller than the width of the side of the locking block that is away from the clamping block.

[0016] Preferably, the clamping arm further includes a slider disposed on the base, the frame is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the slider, the guide groove passes through the frame, and the slider and the base are an integral structure.

[0017] Preferably, the transmission column is disposed at the lower end of the slider, and the transmission column and the slider are an integral structure.

[0018] Preferably, the transmission column and the rotating ring are in line contact, or the cross-sectional shape of the transmission column is circular.

[0019] Preferably, the slewing ring is fixed to the handle, and the lower end of the handle is rotatably connected to the frame.

[0020] Preferably, the rotation axis of the rotary ring is coaxial with the rotation axis of the handle.

[0021] Preferably, the frame is further provided with a groove that extends through the frame, and the handle extends out of the upper end face of the frame through the groove, the groove being elongated.

[0022] Preferably, the handle is rotatably connected to the frame via a pivot, and a rubber sleeve with a pattern is provided at the upper end of the handle.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] By configuring a handle and a rotating ring, the rotating ring is equipped with a drive groove and a drive block. When the handle drives the rotating ring to rotate in the first direction, the two side walls of the drive groove drive the two clamping arms to move closer together via transmission columns, thus clamping the connector housing. When the handle drives the rotating ring to rotate in the second direction, the drive groove disengages from the transmission columns, and the drive block enters between the two transmission columns, pushing the two clamping arms away from each other, thus releasing the connector housing. In practice, this solution only requires swinging the handle to achieve the release or clamping of the connector housing, making the connector housing positioning tool easy to operate and thus improving the assembly efficiency of the connector.

[0025] By setting a rotary ring, and setting a drive groove and drive block in the rotary ring, when the handle drives the clamping arm using the rotary ring, the handle only needs to swing a certain angle to complete the clamping or loosening of the connector housing, thereby further making the connector housing positioning tool easier to operate.

[0037] The specific embodiments shown below are intended to describe various configurations of the subject matter of this invention and are not intended to represent the only configuration in which the subject matter of this invention can be practiced. The specific embodiments include detailed descriptions intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter of this invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of this invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.

[0038] Understandably, in this document, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and are not intended to expressly or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0039] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a connector housing positioning tool for connector assembly includes a frame 1;

[0041] Clamping arms 2, there are two clamping arms 2, and both clamping arms 2 are slidably connected to the frame 1;

[0042] A drive mechanism is provided to drive the two clamping arms 2 to move closer or further apart to clamp or release the connector housing.

[0043] The handle 3 drives the two clamping arms 2 to move closer or further apart via the drive mechanism;

[0044] The drive mechanism includes a rotating ring 31 rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the rotating ring 31 is driven by the handle 3;

[0045] Each clamping arm 2 is provided with a transmission column 21, and the rotary ring 31 is provided with a drive groove 311 that brings the transmission columns 21 of the two clamping arms 2 closer to each other. The transmission columns 21 of the two clamping arms 2 are located between the opposite side walls of the drive groove 311.

[0046] The rotary ring 31 is also provided with a drive block 312 that moves the transmission columns 21 of the two clamping arms 2 away from each other, and the drive block 312 is located between the transmission columns 21 of the two clamping arms 2.

[0047] Understandably, the sidewall of the drive groove 311 that contacts the transmission column 21 is inclined. The rotating ring 31 rotates at a certain angle, and the sidewall of the drive groove 311 that contacts the transmission column 21 applies a force to the transmission column 21. One component of this force drives the clamping arm 2 to move.

[0048] The side wall of the drive block 312 that contacts the transmission column 21 is inclined. When the side wall of the drive block 312 contacts the transmission column 21, it applies a force to the transmission column 21. One component of this force drives the clamping arm 2 to move.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, handle 3 has two extreme positions. When handle 3 is in the first extreme position, clamping arm 2 clamps the connector housing. At this time, handle 3 should be tilted relative to the vertical direction, using the weight of handle 3 to position the rotating ring 31 and prevent the rotating ring 31 from rotating in the opposite direction.

[0050] When the handle 3 is in the second extreme position, the clamp arm 2 releases the connector housing. At this time, the handle 3 should be tilted relative to the vertical direction, and the position of the rotating ring 31 should be positioned by the weight of the handle 3 itself to prevent the rotating ring 31 from rotating in the opposite direction.

[0051] In some embodiments, the clamping arm 2 includes a base 22, which is engaged with a clamping block 23 that contacts the connector housing, and the clamping block 23 is provided with a clamping groove 24.

[0052] The base 22 can be made of metal and has good wear resistance. The cross-sectional shape of the clamping groove 24 can be V-shaped.

[0053] The clamping block 23 is attached to the base 22 via a snap-fit ​​mechanism, allowing for easy removal and replacement from the base 22. Different clamping blocks 23 can be used to accommodate different connector housing models, thus broadening the applicability of the connector housing positioning tool.

[0054] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the clamping block 23 is provided with a locking block 25, and the base 22 is provided with a locking groove that cooperates with the locking block 25. The locking block 25 is locked into the locking groove from top to bottom, and the width of the side of the locking block 25 that contacts the clamping block 23 is smaller than the width of the side of the locking block 25 that is away from the clamping block 23.

[0055] The clamp 23 is positioned on the base 22 by its own weight. The clamp 23 does not need to be locked relative to the base 22, which makes the clamp 23 easy to replace.

[0056] In some embodiments, the clamping arm 2 further includes a slider 26 disposed on the base 22, the frame 1 is provided with a guide groove 11 that cooperates with the slider 26, the guide groove 11 passes through the frame 1, and the slider 26 and the base 22 are an integral structure.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission column 21 is disposed at the lower end of the slider 26, and the transmission column 21 and the slider 26 are an integral structure.

[0058] That is, both the transmission column 21 and the slider 26 are located inside the upper surface of the frame 1 to prevent the slider 26 and the transmission column 21 from occupying the space of the upper surface of the frame 1.

[0059] In some embodiments, the transmission column 21 and the rotating ring 31 are in line contact, or the cross-sectional shape of the transmission column 21 is circular.

[0060] The transmission column 21 and the rotary ring 31 are in line contact, which reduces the friction between the transmission column 21 and the drive groove 311 or the drive block 312, optimizes the operation performance of the handle 3, and makes it less likely to stop during operation.

[0061] In some embodiments, the rotating ring 31 is fixed to the handle 3, and the lower end of the handle 3 is rotatably connected to the frame 1.

[0062] The slewing ring 31 can be welded to the handle 3, or the slewing ring 31 and the handle 3 can be an integral structure.

[0063] Understandably, the swivel ring 31 can also be fixed to the handle 3 using screws.

[0064] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the rotary ring 31 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the handle 3.

[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the frame 1 is further provided with a groove 12, the groove 12 penetrates the frame 1, and the handle 3 extends out of the upper end face of the frame 1 through the groove 12, the groove 12 being elongated.

[0066] The two ends of the groove 12 define the extreme positions of the handle 3. That is, the handle 3 is in the first extreme position when it is at one end of the groove 12, and in the second extreme position when it is at the other end of the groove 12.

[0067] The walls at both ends of the groove 12 limit the handle 3 to a certain position to prevent the handle 3 from swinging too much.

[0068] In some embodiments, the handle 3 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via a pivot, and the upper end of the handle 3 is provided with a rubber sleeve, which is patterned.

[0069] The rubber sleeve can be glued to the handle 3. The rubber sleeve makes the handle 3 have better operating performance.

[0070] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.
