Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical connection element technology, and in particular relates to a locking plate connector. Background Technology

[0002] Existing locking plate connectors have numerous limitations in their structural design, making it difficult to meet the requirements for efficient assembly and stable connection. Regarding the main connection, the connection strength between the left and right terminal plates is insufficient, and they are prone to loosening due to vibration after long-term use. Furthermore, the lack of an effective outer securing structure results in poor overall stability, making them susceptible to relative displacement in impact or vibration environments. The comb teeth at the mating section lack a guiding structure, which can easily cause jamming during mating, leading to low mating efficiency, poor contact stability, and impacting assembly efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, we need to design a locking plate connector to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a locking plate connector.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A locking plate connector includes a left terminal plate, a right terminal plate, and an elastic buckle. The left terminal plate and the right terminal plate are riveted together by rivets, and the elastic buckle is clipped on the outside of the left terminal plate and the right terminal plate. Each of the left terminal plate and the right terminal plate includes a fixing section, a riveting section, and a comb-tooth section. The comb-tooth section and the fixing section are respectively located on both sides of the riveting section. The comb-tooth section is arc-shaped, and the arc of the comb-tooth section on the left terminal plate and the right terminal plate faces outward.

[0007] Preferably, the elastic buckle includes a connecting frame, a fixing plate, and elastic comb teeth. The fixing plate is fixed to both ends of the connecting frame. Each fixing plate is provided with a fixing groove, and the fixing plate on one side of the fixing groove is also provided with elastic comb teeth.

[0008] This design connects the two fixing plates together via the connecting bracket of the elastic buckle, improving the structural rigidity and stability of the elastic buckle and preventing the components from deforming separately. The fixing plates, located at both ends of the connecting bracket, increase the contact area with the left and right terminal plates, enhancing the fixing effect. The fixing grooves on the fixing plates can mate with the fixing protrusions on the left and right terminal plates, achieving precise positioning and locking of the elastic buckle with the left and right terminal plates, preventing relative slippage and improving assembly accuracy. The elastic comb teeth on one side of the fixing groove utilize their own elasticity to provide continuous contact pressure to the comb tooth section after installation.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the fixing section on the left terminal plate and the right terminal plate is attached to each other, and the other side of the fixing plate is provided with a fixing protrusion, which matches the fixing groove.

[0010] This design ensures that the fixing sections of the left and right terminal blocks fit together on one side, increasing the contact area to improve the overall structural rigidity and reducing contact resistance when the fixing sections are conducting electricity, thus optimizing conductivity. The fixing protrusions on the fixing plates match the fixing grooves, forming a concave-convex mating structure that enables quick positioning and locking of the elastic clips with the left and right terminal blocks, preventing relative displacement during use and improving connection stability. Furthermore, assembly can be completed without additional tools, effectively improving assembly efficiency.

[0011] Preferably, the riveting section has a riveting hole, the rivet is located between the left terminal plate and the right terminal plate, and one end is riveted to the riveting hole of the riveting section on the left terminal plate, and the other end is riveted to the riveting hole of the riveting section on the right terminal plate.

[0012] This design provides a precise mounting position for the rivets through the rivet holes on the riveting section, ensuring positioning accuracy during riveting and preventing misalignment. Concealing the rivets between the two end plates reduces external space occupation, prevents protruding structures from interfering with other components, protects the rivets from external impact damage, and extends their service life.

[0013] Preferably, the fixed section is provided with a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is provided with a through-hole.

[0014] This design increases the stress-bearing area of ​​the mounting plate on the fixed section. When fixed with bolts or other fasteners, it can distribute pressure and prevent the fixed section from deforming due to excessive local stress, thus improving the overall installation stability. The through-hole design of the mounting plate allows bolts and other fasteners to pass through, achieving a firm connection with the external structure and ensuring that the connector is not easily loosened under vibration, impact, or other operating conditions.

[0015] Preferably, the elastic comb teeth on the fixing plate extend inward toward the elastic buckle, and the free end of each comb tooth is bent outward.

[0016] With this configuration, the elastic comb teeth on the fixed plate extend inward, allowing them to contact the comb teeth segments on the left and right terminal plates, providing elasticity to the comb teeth segments and ensuring the reliability of electrical conductivity or signal transmission. The free ends of the comb teeth bend outward, serving as guides during installation and allowing them to better adapt to mating tolerances, reducing contact problems caused by positional deviations.

[0017] Preferably, the fixed segment has a U-shaped structure.

[0018] With this design, the fixed section adopts a U-shaped structure, which has a larger moment of inertia than a flat plate structure. This significantly improves rigidity and resistance to deformation, making it less prone to bending or breaking when subjected to external impacts or vibrations, thus ensuring the stability of the fixing function.

[0019] Preferably, each of the comb teeth in the comb tooth segment has a guide section fixedly provided at its free end, the guide section being wavy and having its free end bent outward.

[0020] This design incorporates a guide section at the free end of the comb teeth, with the guide section bent outwards. This guide section acts as a guide when the comb teeth mate with other components, reducing insertion resistance and facilitating rapid assembly, thus improving assembly efficiency. The guide section features a wave-shaped design, increasing its elasticity. During mating, it absorbs impact through slight deformation, preventing damage to the comb teeth from rigid collisions. Simultaneously, the wave-shaped structure increases the contact area with the mating components, enhancing stability and reliability.

[0021] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This invention connects the left and right terminal plates with rivets, providing a high-strength and highly stable connection that is less prone to loosening compared to bolted connections, ensuring the overall structural integrity. The elastic clips on the outside facilitate assembly and utilize their elasticity to provide continuous pre-tightening force, enhancing the fit with the terminal plates. The comb teeth are arc-shaped with an outward curvature, increasing the elastic deformation space of the comb teeth. During mating, slight deformation can accommodate tolerances, reducing the risk of poor contact. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0033] Example 1: As Figures 1-4As shown, a locking plate connector includes a left terminal plate 11, a right terminal plate 12, and an elastic buckle 3. The left terminal plate 11 and the right terminal plate 12 are riveted together by rivets 2 to form a symmetrically distributed main structure. The riveting uses copper rivets 2 to increase the current convection capacity. The elastic buckle 3 is clamped on the outside of the left terminal plate 11 and the right terminal plate 12, and the main structure is wrapped and fixed by clamping from both sides. The left terminal plate 11 and the right terminal plate 12 each include a fixing section 101, a riveting section 104, and a comb section 106. The comb section 106 and the fixing section 101 are located on both sides of the riveting section 104, forming a functionally continuous whole. The comb section 106 is arc-shaped, and the arc of the comb section 106 on the left terminal plate 11 and the right terminal plate 12 faces outward, so that the comb sections 106 on both sides form an outwardly opening docking space at both ends of the main structure.

[0034] The elastic buckle 3 includes a connecting frame 34, a fixing plate 32, and elastic comb teeth 31. The fixing plate 32 is fixed at both ends of the connecting frame 34, forming a frame structure that spans the outer side of the left terminal plate 11 and the right terminal plate 12. The span of the frame matches the spacing between the left and right terminal plates 12. Each fixing plate 32 is provided with a fixing groove 33. On the fixing plate 32 on one side of the fixing groove 33, an elastic comb tooth 31 is also provided. The end part of the elastic comb tooth 31 overlaps with the comb tooth section 106 and abuts against the comb tooth section 106, providing additional thrust to the comb tooth section 106, ensuring that the comb tooth section 106 can maintain tight contact after mating. At the same time, the gap between the comb teeth can also dissipate heat through convection, reducing the working environment temperature of the locking plate connector.

[0035] The fixing sections 101 on the left terminal plate 11 and the right terminal plate 12 are attached to each other on one side, and the contact surface is perpendicular to the connection surface of the riveting section 104, forming an overall force-bearing foundation. The other side of the fixing plate 32 is provided with a fixing protrusion 107, which matches the fixing groove 33. The height of the protrusion corresponds to the depth of the fixing groove 33. Through the engagement of the protrusion and the fixing groove 33, the constraint force of the elastic buckle 3 is transmitted to the fixing sections 101 of the two terminal plates, making the contact state of the fixing sections 101 tighter.

[0036] The riveting section 104 has riveting holes 105, which correspond one-to-one on the left and right terminal plates 12, providing an installation reference for the rivet 2. The rivet 2 is located between the left terminal plate 11 and the right terminal plate 12, with one end riveted to the riveting hole 105 of the riveting section 104 on the left terminal plate 11 and the other end riveted to the riveting hole 105 of the riveting section 104 on the right terminal plate 12. The axial clamping force of the rivet 2 makes the riveting section 104 of the left and right terminal plates 12 form a rigid connection, providing support for the relative position of the fixing section 101 and the comb section 106.

[0037] A mounting plate 108 is provided on the fixed section 101. The mounting plate 108 is formed by extending from the fixed section 101, and the extension direction is perpendicular to the mating surface of the fixed section 101. A fixing hole 102 is provided through the mounting plate 108. The axis of the fixing hole 102 is perpendicular to the plane of the mounting plate 108. The fixing hole 102 cooperates with the external fastener to fix the mating structure of the fixed section 101 to the external carrier, so that the entire connector achieves a rigid connection with the outside through the fixed section 101.

[0038] The elastic comb teeth 31 on the fixed plate 32 extend inward to the inner side of the elastic buckle 3. The extension length is adapted to the extension length of the terminal plate comb tooth section 106. The extension direction is directly opposite to the comb tooth section 106 of the left and right terminal plates 12. The free end of each comb tooth is bent outward to avoid interference between the elastic comb teeth 31 and the terminal plate comb tooth section 106 during assembly.

[0039] The fixing section 101 has a U-shaped structure, and the opening direction of the U-shape is consistent with the extension direction of the riveting section 104, so that the fixing sections 101 of the left and right terminal plates 12 form a closed cavity in the fit state. The cross-sectional shape of the cavity matches the U-shaped structure of the fixing section 101, which enhances the overall anti-torsion performance and provides a stable support foundation for the mounting plate 108.

[0040] A guide section 103 is fixedly provided at the free end of each comb tooth of the comb tooth section 106. The extension trajectory of the guide section 103 is tangent to the arc of the comb tooth section 106, ensuring that the guiding direction is consistent with the docking direction of the comb tooth section 106. The guide section 103 is wavy and its free end bends outward. The bending direction is adapted to the bending direction of the free end of the elastic comb tooth 31, together forming a cooperative guiding path during docking and improving docking efficiency.

[0041] The above description details one embodiment of the present utility model, but it is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the present utility model application should still fall within the patent coverage of the present utility model.
