Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and specifically to a connector socket that is easy to install and fix on a junction box. Background Technology

[0002] A junction box is the terminal of a distribution cable or optical fiber, connecting the distribution cable or optical fiber to the user's line section and branching off the main line. Junction boxes can be installed in confined spaces such as cable trays, boxes, pipes, and cable trenches, without occupying the building's usable area. They are easy to install and do not require cutting the main cable.

[0003] In use, multiple connector sockets need to be installed on the junction box. When installing the connector sockets onto the junction box, the connector socket is usually passed through the mounting holes on the junction box, and then the individual probes on the connector socket are soldered to the contacts on the circuit board to make them conductive. After soldering the probes of the connector socket to the circuit board of the junction box, adhesive is usually applied between the outer shell of the connector socket and the outer shell of the junction box to fix the connection between the two.

[0004] It is evident that existing connector sockets lack a fixing structure, making it impossible to directly install and fix them to the junction box. Using the glue dispensing method is not only cumbersome and requires special tools, but also requires waiting for the glue to cure after dispensing, resulting in low installation efficiency of the connector sockets.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a connector socket that is easy to install and fix on a junction box includes a socket body 1. A rubber core 2 is fixedly installed inside the socket body 1, and multiple probes 3 are installed inside the rubber core 2. One end of each probe 3 extends out of the rubber core 2 and is used to solder and conduct electricity to the circuit board of the junction box. One end of the socket body 1 is plugged into a connector plug, and conduction is achieved through the probes 3 and the connector plug, thereby realizing the function of electrical connection. A limiting boss 11 is provided on the outer wall of the socket body 1. The limiting boss 11 is used to limit the installation position of the socket body 1 on the junction box. A fixing member 4 is sleeved on the socket body 1. The fixing member 4 is detachably connected to the socket body 1 and is used to fix the socket body 1 to the junction box.

[0024] During installation, the socket body 1 is inserted into the mounting hole of the junction box, so that the limiting boss 11 abuts against the outer wall of the junction box. Then, the probes 3 are soldered to the circuit board inside the junction box. Then, the fixing piece 4 is fitted onto the socket body 1 from inside the junction box, so that the fixing piece 4 abuts against the inner wall of the junction box. Thus, the outer shell of the junction box is clamped by the limiting boss 11 and the fixing piece 4, so that the socket body 1 is installed and fixed on the junction box.

[0025] The connector socket can be installed and fixed to the junction box by setting a fixing part 4 on the socket body 1 and by cooperating with the fixing part 4 and the limiting boss 11. This eliminates the trouble of applying glue, reduces the installation difficulty, saves installation time, and thus improves installation efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment, the fixing member 4 is a hexagonal nut, and the outer wall of the socket body 1 near the fixing member 4 is provided with a connecting thread 12, and the fixing member 4 is threadedly connected to the connecting thread 12. The fixing member 4 and the socket body 1 are threadedly connected, which facilitates installation and disassembly. In specific installation, first remove the fixing member 4 from the socket body 1; then insert the socket body 1 into the mounting hole of the junction box until the limiting boss 11 abuts against the outer wall of the junction box shell; then solder the probes 3 to the circuit board inside the junction box respectively, and then attach the fixing member 4 to the socket body 1 from the inside of the junction box, and then tighten the fixing member 4 until it abuts against the inner wall of the junction box shell, thereby clamping the outer shell of the junction box by the limiting boss 11 and the fixing member 4, so that the socket body 1 is installed and fixed on the junction box. In other embodiments, the fixing member 4 and the socket body 1 can also adopt other detachable installation methods such as snap-fit.

[0027] A first sealing ring 5 is fitted onto the outer wall of the socket body 1. The first sealing ring 5 is located on the side of the limiting boss 11 near the fixing member 4, and abuts against the limiting boss 11. During installation, tightening the fixing member 4 ensures that one side of the first sealing ring 5 abuts against the limiting boss 11, and the other side abuts against the side wall of the junction box. By setting the first sealing ring 5, the connection sealing between the socket body 1 and the junction box is improved, reducing the entry of moisture into the junction box and extending its service life.

[0028] The inner wall of the socket body 1 is provided with an annular stepped surface 13, and the outer wall of the core 2 is provided with an annular boss 21. When assembling the connector socket, one end of the core 2 is inserted into the socket body 1 until the annular boss 21 abuts against the annular stepped surface 13. The cooperation between the annular boss 21 and the annular stepped surface 13 can limit the position of the core 2 in the socket body 1, thereby improving the structural stability of the connector socket.

[0029] A second sealing ring 6 is fitted onto the core 2. The second sealing ring 6 is located on the side of the annular stepped surface 13 away from the annular boss 21, and can seal against the annular stepped surface 13. In use, the core 2 is inserted into the connector plug; when the connector plug is inserted into the socket body 1, the plug end face pushes one side of the second sealing ring 6 against the annular stepped surface 13, and the other side against the connector plug end face. By setting the second sealing ring 6, the connector plug and socket connection is sealed, improving the sealing performance, preventing moisture and dust from entering the connector, and extending its service life.

[0030] The socket body 1 is made of metal, which enhances the overall structural rigidity of the connector socket. A shielding spring 7 is located within the core 2. One end of the shielding spring 7 extends beyond the end face of the core 2, while the other end elastically abuts against the inner wall of the socket body 1. The end of the shielding spring 7 extending beyond the core 2 is used to connect to the shielding circuit within the junction box, while the other side of the shielding spring 7 abuts against the socket body 1, thus enabling the socket body 1 to conduct through the shielding circuit. This allows the entire socket body 1 to act as a shielding layer, improving the stability of signal transmission in the connector socket.

[0031] In this embodiment, there are two shielding springs 7. Using two shielding springs 7 improves the stability of the connection between the socket body 1 and the shielding springs 7, preventing shielding failure caused by deformation of one shielding spring 7. In other embodiments, the number of shielding springs 7 can be any other number.

[0032] During connector assembly, the socket body 1 is inserted and fixed to the plug body, and the core 2 is inserted and fixed to the connector plug. To facilitate insertion, a foolproof protrusion 22 and a foolproof slot 23 are provided on the outer wall of the core 2. The foolproof protrusion 22 and the foolproof slot 23 are used for positioning and insertion with the connector plug. The connector plug is provided with a structure that adapts to the foolproof protrusion 22 and the foolproof slot 23. During connector assembly, the connector plug and socket body 1 can be quickly inserted by aligning the foolproof protrusion 22 and the foolproof slot 23, thereby improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, the cooperation between the foolproof protrusion 22 and the foolproof slot 23 and the corresponding structure of the connector plug can also improve the stability of connector insertion.

[0033] The above-described specific embodiments are preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific scope of this utility model. The scope of this utility model includes but is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All equivalent changes made in accordance with this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
