Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a locking type connector. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is a component used to connect two or more parts, ensuring the transmission of current, signals, or mechanical force between them. It typically features a detachable design for easy maintenance, upgrades, or replacement of equipment. Connectors enable efficient and stable connections between various devices, avoiding complex wiring and fixing methods and providing flexibility and reliability.

[0003] Traditional connectors typically consist of a plug, socket, contacts, and insulating material. The plug and socket are located at opposite ends of the connector, and connection is achieved through insertion and removal. The contacts are the core component for signal or current conduction, while the insulating material ensures the connector's safety and durability. The design of traditional connectors varies depending on the application and operating environment to adapt to different connection requirements.

[0004] The connection process using traditional connectors is typically cumbersome, especially when multiple connectors need to be mated together, significantly increasing operational complexity and the risk of errors. Each connector requires manual insertion and removal, with strict requirements on contact position and force. Operating multiple connectors simultaneously can easily lead to inaccurate mating or mis-insertion, resulting in connection failure. Furthermore, because the number and arrangement of connectors may vary, operators need to spend more time and effort during connection, increasing the likelihood of errors and consequently affecting equipment efficiency and stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a locking connector, which aims to improve the problem that the connection process of traditional connectors is usually cumbersome, increases the possibility of errors, and thus affects the working efficiency and stability of the equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a locking connector, comprising a first connector, a second connector disposed at the top of the first connector, a limit component disposed at the bottom of the second connector, a pull ring slidably connected to the outer wall of the first connector, a reset component disposed inside the pull ring, multiple side grooves I inside the first connector, multiple side grooves II inside the pull ring, a locking component disposed inside the first connector, and anti-slip textures disposed on the outer wall of the pull ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a fixed shaft, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull ring.

[0008] Furthermore, a limit ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the reset assembly includes a spring disposed inside the pull ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the pull ring has an inner groove, and the spring is slidably connected inside the inner groove.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the inner groove is fixedly connected to the inside of the pull ring, and the other end of the inner groove is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes multiple limiting shafts, which are disposed inside the first connector and are slidably connected inside the first side groove and the second side groove.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, the anti-slip texture on the outer wall of the pull ring cooperates with the internal spring, allowing the operator to quickly connect and disconnect the connector with a simple pulling action. No tools are needed, and it can be completed with one hand, which significantly improves the convenience of use. It is especially suitable for scenarios that require frequent plugging and unplugging, effectively improving the efficiency of operation. The spring's reset function allows the pull ring to automatically return to its locked position after being released, simplifying the operation process and reducing the tedious steps of manual alignment.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the fixed shaft and the limiting ring provide precise guidance for the docking of the connectors, ensuring that there will be no offset during the connection and improving the accuracy of the installation; the locking assembly, through the multi-point limiting structure and the pre-tightening force of the spring, forms a stable locking state, which can effectively resist external loads such as vibration and impact, and prevent the connectors from accidentally loosening. The overall structure is reasonably designed. While ensuring the reliability of the connection, the sliding limiting and reset mechanism enhances the stability and durability of the connector under complex working conditions, making it suitable for industrial environments with high requirements for connection strength.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a locking connector, comprising a connector 1, characterized in that: a connector 2 is provided at the top of connector 1 for connecting or fixing with other components, providing structural stability; a limiting component is provided at the bottom of connector 2 to prevent relative displacement between connector 1 and connector 2, ensuring the tightness and stability of the connection; a pull ring 3 is slidably connected to the outer wall of connector 1, facilitating manual operation, allowing the user to adjust the state of the connector; a reset component is provided inside pull ring 3, which can automatically restore pull ring 3 to its original position, ensuring the connector can quickly return to its original position and maintain stability. In normal operating condition, connector 1 has multiple side grooves 7 inside. The function of side grooves 7 is to guide and restrict the movement range of other components, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the overall connection. Pull ring 3 has multiple side grooves 8 inside, which correspond to side grooves 7. This ensures the precise positioning of the limiting shaft 9 during the sliding process within the side grooves, avoiding errors and offsets, and further improving the reliability of the connector. Connector 1 has a locking assembly inside. The locking assembly, through the sliding of the limiting shaft 9, allows connector 1 and connector 2 to be firmly connected, preventing loosening and enhancing the safety of the connection. The outer wall of pull ring 3 is provided with anti-slip textures 4 to prevent slippage. The slip grip 4 enhances friction during operation, allowing users to grip the pull ring 3 more securely, improving ease and comfort. The limiting component includes a fixed shaft 5, whose top is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull ring 3. The fixed shaft 5 supports and fixes the position of the pull ring 3, preventing excessive wobbling during operation. A limiting ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft 5, preventing excessive slippage of the pull ring 3 and ensuring its stability. The reset component includes a spring 11, located inside the pull ring 3. The spring 11 automatically returns the pull ring 3 to its initial position after it is pulled, preventing the pull ring 3 from remaining in a non-working state. In this state, the normal use of the connector is ensured. The pull ring 3 has an inner groove 10 inside, and the spring 11 is slidably connected inside the inner groove 10. One end of the inner groove 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the pull ring 3, and the other end of the inner groove 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector 1. The design of the inner groove 10 ensures the effective sliding of the spring 11, making the reset action smooth and stable. The locking assembly includes multiple limiting shafts 9, which are set inside the connector 1. By sliding inside the side groove 7 and the side groove 8, the limiting shafts 9 ensure the precise locking between the connector 1 and the connector 2, avoiding loosening or instability caused by errors, and further improving the safety and reliability of the connector.

[0019] Specifically, when the locking connector is in operation, the top of connector 1 engages with connector 2. When connection is required, the anti-slip texture 4 on the outer wall of the pull ring 3 is pulled, causing the pull ring 3 to slide on the outer wall of connector 1. At this time, the spring 11 in the reset assembly inside the pull ring 3 is compressed and contracts. Simultaneously, the side groove 8 inside the pull ring 3 moves along with the sliding of the pull ring 3. Through this movement, the limiting shaft 9 inside connector 1 slides within the side groove 7. The limiting shaft 9 disengages from the fixed shaft 5 and the limiting ring 6 of the bottom limiting assembly of connector 2, allowing connector 1 and connector 2 to be aligned. After alignment, the pull ring 3 is released, the spring 11 resets and pushes the pull ring 3 back to its initial position, and the side groove 8 re-enters the connection. In conjunction with the limiting shaft 9, the limiting shaft 9 slides inside the side groove 7 and the side groove 8, ultimately forming a limiting position on the fixing shaft 5 and the limiting ring 6 at the bottom of the connector 2, thereby locking the connector 1 and connector 2 together. When disassembly is required, pull the pull ring 3, causing the spring 11 to be compressed again, and the limiting shaft 9 to disengage from the side groove 8, thereby separating the connector 1 from the connector 2. The entire process is achieved by the sliding of the pull ring 3 driving the limiting shaft 9 to cooperate with the side groove 7 and the side groove 8 to realize connection and unlocking. The spring 11 in the reset assembly ensures the reset of the pull ring 3 and the limiting shaft 9, while the fixing shaft 5 and the limiting ring 6 of the limiting assembly assist in completing the positioning and limiting during connection. The anti-slip grip 4 ensures that the pull ring 3 can effectively apply force during operation.

[0020] Working principle: When this locking connector is working, the top of connector 1 engages with connector 2. When connection is required, pulling the anti-slip texture 4 on the outer wall of the pull ring 3 causes the pull ring 3 to slide on the outer wall of connector 1. The spring 11 in the reset assembly inside the pull ring 3 is compressed and contracts. At the same time, the side groove 8 inside the pull ring 3 moves with the pull ring 3, causing the limiting shaft 9 inside connector 1 to slide in the side groove 7. This causes the limiting shaft 9 to disengage from the fixed shaft 5 and the limiting ring 6 of the bottom limiting assembly of connector 2. At this time, connector 2 can be aligned with connector 1. After alignment, the pull ring 3 is released, the spring 11 resets and pushes the pull ring 3 back to its initial position, and the side groove 8 engages with the limiting shaft 9 again. The limiting shaft 9 is slidably connected inside the side groove 7 and the side groove 8. The limiting shaft 9 limits the fixing shaft 5 and the limiting ring 6 at the bottom of the connector 2, thereby locking the connector 1 and connector 2 together. When disassembly is required, the pull ring 3 is pulled again to compress the spring 11 and disengage the limiting shaft 9 from the side groove 8, thus separating the connector 1 and connector 2. The entire process is achieved by the sliding of the pull ring 3, which drives the limiting shaft 9 to cooperate with the side groove 7 and the side groove 8 to achieve connection and unlocking. The spring 11 of the reset component ensures that the position of the pull ring 3 and the limiting shaft 9 is reset. The fixing shaft 5 and the limiting ring 6 of the limiting component assist in positioning and limiting during connection. The anti-slip grip 4 facilitates the operation and force application of the pull ring 3.
