Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and more particularly to an aviation connector. Background Technology
[0002] Connectors, generally speaking, refer to electrical connectors, which are devices that connect two active devices to transmit current or signals. The male and female terminals, upon contact, can transmit information or current. Connectors serve the functions of connection and conduction. Different manufacturers have different requirements for energy storage connectors, generally trending towards miniaturization and ease of operation. Elbow-type connectors are representative of this trend, solving the problems of limited space and ease of operation.
[0003] Connectors are generally considered to be components attached to cables or installed on instruments. As components for the electrical connection or disconnection of transmission lines, they belong to mechatronics products. Simply put, they mainly act as bridges. Connectors can be divided into pluggable connectors and threaded connectors according to their connection method. The connecting sleeve housing and the connecting head housing on existing pluggable connectors do not have a fixed limiting structure. They are connected by a simple plugging and unplugging method. When connecting the connecting sleeve housing and the connecting head housing, one end of the connecting head housing is usually inserted into one end of the connecting sleeve housing. When people accidentally pull on the wires on the connector, the connecting sleeve housing and the connecting head housing can easily break, thus affecting the normal use of the connector. The stability of the connector connection is poor.
[0004] Currently, all existing quick connectors use a spring structure for fixing, utilizing the spring's rebound force to align the male and female connectors. Because the installation process requires a separate step to install the spring, the manufacturing process is complex and the production cost is high. Furthermore, existing quick connectors have poor waterproof performance and are easily damaged.
[0005] Chinese patent CN116742392A discloses a connector comprising: a base having a mating portion at a front end and a body portion at a rear end; a plurality of terminals assembled to the base; a plurality of wires respectively connected to the plurality of terminals, the plurality of wires extending rearward out of the body portion of the base; and a rear cover comprising a first cover and a second cover assembled to each other in a vertical direction, the first cover having a first front section extending in a front-rear direction and a first rear section extending in the vertical direction, the second cover having a second front section extending in the front-rear direction and a second rear section extending in the vertical direction, the first front section and the second front section of the rear cover being used to accommodate at least a portion of the body portion of the base; the rear cover having a first front section extending in a front-rear direction and a second rear section extending in the vertical direction. The first and second rear sections are used to accommodate at least partial portions of the plurality of said wires. The rear cover also includes a front locking structure located on the side and disposed between the first and second front sections, and a rear locking structure located on the side and disposed between the first and second rear sections. The front locking structure is assembled along the vertical direction and generates a locking effect in the vertical direction, and the rear locking structure is assembled along the vertical direction and generates a locking effect in the front-rear direction. This solves the problem of having two different locking structures, the front locking structure and the rear locking structure, and provides sufficient locking force. Furthermore, since the first and second locking rails of the rear locking structure are hidden inside the rear cover and assembled with each other, they are not easily opened accidentally. It is worth mentioning that the rear cover of the present invention can be selectively assembled after the connector and the mating connector are mated, thus providing greater flexibility in the overall space utilization. Summary of the Invention
