Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation plug technology, and in particular to an aviation plug for cable transition and its support system. Background Technology

[0002] In existing signal equipment rooms, rectangular aviation plug electrical connectors are commonly used for cable transition connections of line signal equipment. The aviation plug mainly consists of two parts: a plug and a socket. During the transition-connection test in the signal equipment room, it is necessary to switch between different plugs and the same socket to achieve different test processes. The socket is generally fixed by binding with cable ties.

[0003] However, when existing railway signaling equipment uses aviation plugs for cable transition connections, it is not practical to quickly fix the sockets and plugs by binding them with cable ties. In scenarios where a large number of aviation plugs need to be installed, fixing the sockets and plugs is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and consumes a lot of materials. Furthermore, it cannot be guaranteed that the sockets and plugs are connected properly. The plug and socket parts are easily loosened or even detached due to vibrations generated by railway operations, posing a great safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of existing aviation plugs that use cable ties for fixing, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, consumes a lot of materials, and poses safety hazards, and to provide an aviation plug and its bracket system for cable transition.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an aviation plug for cable transition, comprising:

[0006] The mounting plate has a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove on its top surface and a locking foot on its bottom surface.

[0007] At the socket end, a first slider is provided at the bottom of the socket end, and the first slider is in transitional fit with the first limiting groove;

[0008] The plug end has a second slider at its bottom, which transitionally engages with the second limiting groove.

[0009] This utility model discloses an aviation plug for cable transition. By engaging the socket end and plug end with a mounting plate, the socket end and plug end are respectively positioned by the mounting plate. The mounting plate can be fixed by the clips, enabling quick fixing of the socket end and plug end, shortening the fixing time. The mounting plate can be reused, reducing material consumption. At the same time, the relative position of the socket end and plug end with the mounting plate can be clearly observed to see whether the socket end and plug end are properly connected, preventing the socket end and plug end from loosening during use and reducing safety hazards.

[0010] Preferably, at least two of the first limiting grooves are arranged in parallel, and at least two of the second limiting grooves are arranged in parallel. By increasing the number accordingly, the contact area between the socket end and the plug end and the mounting plate is increased, thereby improving the installation stability of the socket end and the plug end.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the mounting plate is equal to the total length of the socket end and the plug end after they are joined together. This allows for quick determination of the connection status of the socket end and plug end by observing whether they are flush with the edge of the mounting plate, further reducing installation and fixing time.

[0012] Preferably, the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are continuously connected, and the total length of the first slider and the second slider is equal to the length of the mounting plate. This maximizes the contact area between the socket end and the plug end and the mounting plate, improving installation stability.

[0013] Preferably, the first slider includes a connecting plate and a limiting plate. The connecting plate is perpendicular to the mounting plate, and the limiting plate and the connecting plate are arranged in a T-shape. The second slider has the same shape as the first slider. The T-shaped first and second sliders can improve the installation stability of the socket end and plug end on the mounting plate through stable contact with the corresponding first and second limiting grooves.

[0014] Preferably, the locking foot includes two symmetrically arranged support legs, each support leg comprising a first segment and a second segment. The two opposing first segments are arranged in a V-shape, and the second segment connects to the end of the first segment furthest from the mounting plate. The first and second segments are arranged at an acute angle. This allows the two legs to move towards each other under external force and return to their original position after the external force disappears, enabling them to be locked into a conventional groove structure and stably abut against the sidewall of the groove.

[0015] Preferably, the locking foot and the mounting plate are integrally formed structural components, the first slider and the socket end are integrally formed structural components, and the second slider and the plug end are integrally formed structural components.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a cable transition support system, including opposing columns, several crossarms detachably connected between the columns by connecting accessories, a guide groove provided on the crossarm, the guide groove extending longitudinally through the crossarm, and several aviation plugs for cable transition as described above nesting and engaging with the guide groove through the clamping feet.

[0017] This utility model discloses a cable transition support system, which consists of columns and multiple crossarms to form a support system for the integrated installation of aviation plugs. The support system integrates multiple rows and columns of the aforementioned aviation plugs, enabling rapid and stable cable transition during the transition-connection test and reversal process of railway signal equipment.

[0018] Preferably, at least two of the crossarms are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the column, and each crossarm is provided with at least two guide slots. This enables the integrated installation of multiple rows and columns of aviation connectors.

[0019] Preferably, the crossarm has a rectangular cross-section, and the guide groove is provided on any one or more sidewalls of the crossarm. This increases the number of installable locations for the aviation plug.

[0021] 1. This utility model provides an aviation plug for cable transition. By having the socket end and the plug end respectively cooperate with the mounting plate, the socket end and the plug end are limited by the mounting plate, and the mounting plate can be fixed by the clips, which can realize the quick fixing of the socket end and the plug end and shorten the fixing time.

[0022] 2. This utility model provides an aviation plug for cable transition, which, through the cyclical use of the mounting plate, does not easily generate consumables;

[0023] 3. This utility model provides an aviation plug for cable transition. By observing the relative positions of the socket end and the plug end with the mounting plate, it is possible to clearly observe whether the socket end and the plug end are properly connected, thus preventing the socket end and the plug end from becoming loose during use and reducing safety hazards.

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention to the following embodiments; all technologies implemented based on the content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0041] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "center," "inner," and "outer" used in the description of specific embodiments of this utility model to indicate orientation or positional relationships are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product / equipment / device is usually placed during use. These terms are merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of the utility model solution or simplifying the description in specific embodiments, and for enabling those skilled in the art to quickly understand the solution, and do not indicate or imply that a specific device / component / element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific positional relationship. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0042] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," "parallel," and "coaxial" does not imply that the corresponding device / component / element must be absolutely horizontal, vertical, suspended, parallel, or coaxial. Slight tilt or deviation is permissible, as long as it does not affect the normal function of the relevant component. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," not that the structure must be perfectly horizontal; a slight tilt is acceptable. "Coaxial" means that two components are arranged as coaxially as possible, allowing them to move coaxially or approximately coaxially when their relative positions change. Alternatively, it can be simplified to mean that the corresponding device / component / element, when arranged in "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," "parallel," or "coaxial" directions, can have an error / deviation of ±10% relative to the corresponding direction, more preferably within ±8%, more preferably within ±6%, more preferably within ±5%, and more preferably within ±4%. For example, the deviation in the "coaxial" direction is controlled within 0.2-1mm, preferably within 0.2-0.5mm. As long as the corresponding device / component / element is within the error / deviation range, it can still achieve its function in the present invention.

[0043] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first," "second," and "third" in terminology is merely for distinguishing descriptions of identical or similar components and should not be interpreted as emphasizing or implying the relative importance of a particular component.

[0044] Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this utility model, "several", "multiple", and "several" represent at least two. The number can be any number, such as two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine, and can even exceed nine.

[0045] Furthermore, in the description of the technical solution of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified / limited / restricted, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," "link," "provided with," "laid out," and "arranged" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to common connection methods in the art, such as welding, riveting, bolting, and threaded connections. Such connections can be mechanical, electrical, or communication connections; they can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] like Figures 1-4As shown, an aviation plug for cable transition includes a mounting plate 1, a socket end 3, and a plug end 4. The top surface of the mounting plate 1 is provided with a first limiting groove 11 and a second limiting groove 12, and the bottom surface is provided with a locking foot 2. The bottom of the socket end 3 is provided with a first slider 31, which transitionally engages with the first limiting groove 11. The bottom of the plug end 4 is provided with a second slider 41, which transitionally engages with the second limiting groove 12.

[0048] Mounting plate 1 is a structural component used to support and limit the socket end 3 and plug end 4. The socket end 3 and plug end 4 are the two parts that make up the aviation plug. The socket end 3 and plug end 4 can be plugged in and connected, or they can be pulled apart under external force. Mounting plate 1 is provided with a first limiting groove 11 and a second limiting groove 12. The first limiting groove 11 is used to limit and fix the socket end 3, and the second limiting groove 12 is used to limit and fix the plug end 4.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the mounting plate 1 is a square or rectangular plate-shaped structural component.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the socket end 3 may be provided with a first slider 31 at the bottom during manufacturing, and the plug end 4 may be provided with a second slider 41 at the bottom during manufacturing.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the first slider 31 may be a portion protruding from the bottom surface of the socket end 3 that is integrally formed with the socket end 3, and the second slider 41 may be a portion protruding from the bottom surface of the plug end 4 that is integrally formed with the plug end 4.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the first slider 31 may include a connecting plate 311 and a limiting plate 312. The connecting plate 311 is perpendicular to the mounting plate 1, and the limiting plate 312 is T-shaped with the connecting plate 311. The second slider 41 may have the same shape and size as the first slider 31. The cross-sections of the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 are matched with the cross-sections of the corresponding first slider 31 or second slider 41 in terms of shape and size, so that after the first slider 31 is inserted into the first limiting groove 11, the socket end 3 can be limited and fixed through transition fit. After the second slider 41 is inserted into the second limiting groove 12, the plug end 4 can be limited and fixed through transition fit.

[0053] In one or more implementations, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the extension directions of the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 can be consistent with the insertion directions of the socket end 3 and the plug end 4, so that when the plug end 4 moves along the second limiting groove 12, it can be simultaneously connected to the plug end 4.

[0054] In optional implementations, such as Figure 1As shown, the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 can be set separately to form a non-continuous state, and the two first limiting grooves 11 can be set in parallel, and the two second limiting grooves 12 can be set in parallel. By increasing the number accordingly, the contact area between the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 and the mounting plate 1 can be increased accordingly, thereby improving the installation stability of the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 on the mounting plate 1.

[0055] In optional implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 can be connected, and the total length of the first slider 31 and the second slider 41 can be equal to the length of the mounting plate 1. Therefore, by extending the length of the first slider 31 and the second slider 41, the contact area between the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 and the mounting plate 1 can be maximized. Furthermore, by observing the relative positional relationship between the first slider 31 and the second slider 41 and the edge of the mounting plate 1 after sliding, it is possible to determine whether the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 are properly installed and fixed, thereby improving installation stability and reducing installation time.

[0056] In optional implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the length of the mounting plate 1 can be equal to the total length of the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 after they are connected. By observing whether the edges of the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 after installation are flush with the edge of the mounting plate 1, the connection status of the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 can be quickly determined, further reducing the installation and fixing time.

[0057] In one or more embodiments, the extension direction of the first limiting groove 11 may be at an angle to the extension direction of the second limiting groove 12, for example, perpendicular to it, and the extension direction of the second limiting groove 12 is consistent with the insertion direction of the socket end 3 and the plug end, so that the socket end 3 is not easily pushed and moved by the plug end 4 when it is plugged and connected, while the plug end 4 can connect with the socket end 3 while moving along the second limiting groove 12, thereby achieving a stable connection between the plug end 4 and the socket end 3.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the first slider 31 and the socket end 3 can be integrally formed structural components, and the second slider 41 and the plug end 4 can be integrally formed structural components.

[0059] In one or more implementations, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the locking foot 2 may include two symmetrically arranged support legs 21. Each support leg 21 may include a first segment 211 and a second segment 212. The two opposing first segments 211 are arranged in a V-shape and gradually move away from one side of the mounting plate 1. The second segment 212 connects to the end of the first segment 211 that is away from the mounting plate 1. The first and second segments 211 are arranged at an acute angle. This allows the two support legs 21 to move towards each other under external force and return to their original position after the external force disappears. They can then be locked into a conventional groove structure and stably abut against the inner wall of the groove, thus achieving rapid and stable installation of the aviation connector.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the foot portion 2 and the mounting plate 1 can be integrally formed structural components.

[0061] This embodiment of an aviation plug for cable transition uses a mounting plate 1 to mate the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 with the mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 limits the position of the socket end 3 and the plug end 4, and the mounting plate 1 can be fixed by the clamping feet 2. This enables quick fixing of the socket end 3 and the plug end 4, shortening the fixing time. The mounting plate 1 can be reused, reducing the need for consumables. At the same time, the relative positional relationship between the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 and the mounting plate 1 can be used to clearly observe whether the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 are properly connected, preventing the socket end 3 and the plug end 4 from loosening during use and reducing safety hazards.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] like Figures 5-7 As shown, a cable transition support system includes opposing columns 5, with several crossarms 7 detachably connected between the columns 5 via connecting fittings 6. Each crossarm 7 is provided with a guide groove 71, which extends longitudinally through the crossarm 7. Several aviation plugs for cable transition according to Embodiment 1 are nested and engaged with the guide groove 71 via a locking foot 2.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, the connecting fitting 6 is used to achieve a detachable connection between the column 5 and the crossbeam 7, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the connecting accessory 6 can be a combination of an L-shaped plate and a bolt. The guide groove 71 is a groove that runs through the crossbeam 7. The cross section of the guide groove 71 can be "convex" to ensure that the bolt of the connecting accessory 6 can be limited and connected in the guide groove 71, and the clamping foot 2 can stably abut against the inner wall of the guide groove 71.

[0065] In optional implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 on the mounting plate 1 can extend in the same direction and are perpendicular to the extension direction of the clamping foot 2. This ensures that when the plug end 4 is connected to the socket end 3, the mounting plate 1 will not be pushed to move along the guide groove 71, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the aviation plug during installation and use on the crossarm 7.

[0066] In an optional implementation, as shown in Figure 7, multiple crossarms 7 can be set along the height direction of the column 5. Each crossarm 7 is provided with a guide groove 71, and multiple aviation plugs can be installed in the guide groove 71, which can realize the integrated installation of multiple rows and columns of aviation plugs.

[0067] In optional implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the crossarm 7 can be rectangular in cross-section. Each side wall of the crossarm 7 is provided with a guide groove 71, which can increase the number of installation positions for the aviation plug. The aviation plug can be installed on the top, bottom or side of the crossarm 7 to adapt to different usage environment requirements.

[0068] This embodiment provides a cable transition support system, which consists of columns 5 and multiple crossarms 7 to form a support system for the integrated installation of aviation plugs. Multiple rows of aviation plugs can be integrated on the support system to achieve a fast and stable cable transition during the railway signal equipment transition-connection test reversal process.

[0069] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
