Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to a male connector terminal. Background Technology
[0002] In fields such as electronic equipment, industrial control, and communication systems, connectors are key components for achieving circuit connections or signal transmission. Their installation stability and compatibility directly affect the operational reliability of the entire system. Currently, the male terminal structure design of common connectors on the market mostly focuses on the mating and plugging performance with the corresponding female terminal and the electrical connection performance, and generally lacks a dedicated structure for direct fixation to external components.
[0003] In practical applications, connectors typically need to be mounted on equipment housings, brackets, or other structures. Due to the lack of a fixed structure, the male end of existing connectors can only maintain its position by the mating force with the female end or by the restraint of the cable. This can easily lead to loosening of the connection under vibration, impact, or other conditions, and may even result in poor contact, signal interruption, or other problems, seriously affecting the stability of the system.
[0004] In scenarios requiring rigid fixation of connectors to external components, users often need to use additional methods such as cable ties, bracket welding, or custom connectors for auxiliary fixation. These methods not only increase installation procedures and costs but may also damage the connector itself or surrounding components due to improper fixing. Furthermore, in scenarios where connectors need to be mounted on specific components (such as racks or rails within equipment), existing connectors are often insufficient, requiring complex modifications to achieve mounting, which greatly limits the connector's applicability and installation flexibility.
[0005] In addition, different equipment or installation environments have different requirements for the fixing position of connectors. Existing connectors cannot adjust the fixing point position, making it difficult to adapt to diverse working conditions and further reducing their ease of use and versatility.
[0006] Therefore, developing a connector male terminal structure that can be fixed to external components and whose fixed position can be flexibly adjusted is the key to solving the above problems and has important practical application value. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a male connector terminal.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a male connector, including a male connector shell, the outer wall of the male connector shell including narrow sides at both ends and long sides on both sides, a connecting hook is provided on the narrow side, and a fixing component is also included. At least one side of the two long sides on both sides of the male connector shell is slidably provided with the above-mentioned fixing component, and a "T"-shaped sliding groove is provided on the long side of the male connector shell. The fixing component includes a fixing plate, a slider and a hanging plate.
[0009] The fixed plate has fixing holes at its four corners. The slider is located on the back of the fixed plate, and one end of the slider has a "T"-shaped connecting part. The connecting part slides in conjunction with the sliding groove. The hanging plate has a hook for hanging.
[0010] Furthermore, the fixing plate has a rectangular or square structure with rounded corners at its four corners.
[0011] Furthermore, a mounting plate is provided at the bottom of the hanging plate, and the mounting plate and the fixing plate are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0012] Furthermore, the slider and the fixing plate are integrally formed.
[0013] Furthermore, a through-hole is provided in the middle of the fixing plate.
[0014] Furthermore, balance bars are provided on the upper and lower sides of the back of the fixing plate, and the top of the balance bar has a "7"-shaped connector. The long sides of the upper and lower sides of the slide groove are provided with "7"-shaped connecting grooves that slide with the "7"-shaped connectors.
[0015] Furthermore, the “7”-shaped connecting groove is arranged parallel to the sliding groove.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. The fixing component of this application includes a fixing plate and a hanging plate. The fixing plate can be rigidly connected to external components through fixing holes, while the hanging plate can be hung using hooks. These two fixing methods complement each other, allowing the male end of the connector to flexibly adapt to different installation requirements. Whether it is a scenario requiring stable and rigid fixing or a scenario that only requires simple hanging, it can be satisfied, greatly expanding the application range of the connector.
[0018] 2. The fixing component slides against the male end housing via a "T"-shaped connector and a "T"-shaped groove on the long side of the male end housing, allowing the fixing component to slide flexibly relative to the male end housing. This adjustable design allows users to freely adjust the position of the fixing component according to the actual installation environment and working conditions, thereby better avoiding interference from surrounding components, ensuring convenient and reasonable installation, and effectively coping with diverse working conditions.
[0019] 3. By firmly fixing the male end of the connector to the external components through the fixing components, the influence of external factors such as vibration and impact can be effectively resisted, preventing the connector from becoming loose or displaced, ensuring that the connector and the corresponding female end always maintain a good contact state, thereby ensuring the stability of circuit connection or signal transmission and significantly improving the operational reliability of the entire system.
[0020] In addition to the objectives, features and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features and advantages.
[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
