Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connectors, and in particular to a connector assembly that facilitates cable routing. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are a common component in electrical engineering. Their function is to connect circuits on different devices or different modules in a circuit, so that current or signals can flow or be transmitted, and the circuit can perform its intended function.

[0003] In addition to using conductive terminals for electrical connection, connectors also require cable routing. For devices that require fixed connectors, in addition to fixing one end of the connector, the connecting cable also needs to be fixed to prevent unnecessary cable movement, which could affect connection stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connector assembly that facilitates cable routing.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, a connector assembly for convenient cable routing is provided, including a locking frame, a fixing panel, a socket connector, and a plug connector. The fixing panel includes a central end face, two side end faces, and two side arms. The two side arms are respectively connected to both sides of the central end face according to the arrangement direction. The two side end faces are respectively located on both sides of the central end face according to the arrangement direction. Each side end face is connected to the side arm on the same side. The central end face and the side end faces are not coplanar. The locking frame includes a connecting end face, two fixing end faces, and two support arms. The two support arms are respectively connected to the connecting end face according to the arrangement direction. On both sides of the direction, two fixed end faces are located on both sides of the connecting end face based on the arrangement direction. Each fixed end face is connected to the support arm on the same side. The connecting end face is perpendicular to the middle end face. The connecting end face has a mounting hole through it along the insertion direction. The locking frame is located on the outside of the fixed panel based on the extension direction. The fixed end face is fixedly connected to the side end face. A wire groove through it along the insertion direction is formed between the middle end face and the connecting end face. The socket connector is set at the mounting hole and connected to the connecting end face. The socket connector and the plug connector are located on both sides of the mounting hole based on the insertion direction. The socket connector and the plug connector are connected.

[0006] A further proposed solution is that the middle end face is parallel to the side end face, and the side arm is arranged at an obtuse angle to the middle end face.

[0007] A further proposed solution is that the fixed end face is parallel to the side end face, the side end face is provided with a first connecting hole, the fixed end face is provided with a second connecting hole, the first connector passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole, and a clearance groove is formed between the side end face and the side arm on one side and the middle end face, the clearance groove being located on the back side of the wire-passing groove.

[0008] A further solution is to have the clearance groove run through the insertion direction.

[0009] A further improvement is to provide a fixed connection part on the middle end face.

[0010] A further proposed solution is to arrange the fixed connection part in the form of a third connection hole.

[0011] A further solution is to provide a fixing hole at the edge of the mounting hole on the connection end face, and to provide a positioning protrusion on the outer shell of the socket connector. The positioning protrusion is provided with a fourth connecting hole, and the positioning protrusion is adjacent to the edge of the mounting hole. The second connector passes through the fourth connecting hole and connects to the fixing hole.

[0012] A further design involves mounting holes extending along the layout direction, with multiple mounting positions arranged along the layout direction, and each mounting position used to install one socket connector.

[0013] A further improvement is that the support arm is equipped with a grounding hole.

[0014] A further improvement is to install a grounding block on the inner wall of the support arm, with a grounding hole penetrating through the grounding block.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The fixing panel is used to fix and connect equipment. Because the middle end face and side end face are not coplanar, when the locking frame is connected to the fixing panel, a through-hole is formed between the middle end face and the connecting end face, extending along the insertion direction. The socket connector is fixedly assembled in the mounting hole. After the socket connector and plug connector are connected, the cable of the socket and / or plug can pass through the through-hole, thereby achieving relative fixation of the cable, facilitating cable routing and wiring. Furthermore, the obtuse angle arrangement of the side arm and side end face creates a clearance groove on the back side of the through-hole, facilitating the connection operation of the first connector. The application of the fixing connection part facilitates connection with the equipment. Additionally, the arrangement of the fixing holes and the limiting fit of the positioning protrusion facilitate the fixed assembly of the socket connector. Multiple socket connectors can be assembled using the mounting holes extending along the arrangement direction to accommodate more plug connectors. Furthermore, the grounding block and grounding hole facilitate grounding wiring. Attached Figure Description

The fixing connection portions 111 are used for connection with fixed objects such as devices, equipment, or walls.

[0024] The locking frame 2 includes a connecting end face 21, two fixed end faces 23, and two support arms 22. The two support arms 22 are respectively connected to the two sides of the connecting end face 21 based on the arrangement direction X. The two fixed end faces 23 are respectively located on the two sides of the connecting end face 21 based on the arrangement direction X. Each fixed end face 23 is connected to the support arm 22 on the same side. The connecting end face 21 is perpendicular to the middle end face 11. The connecting end face 21 has a mounting hole 211 through it along the insertion direction Z. The mounting hole 211 extends along the arrangement direction X. The mounting hole 211 has multiple mounting positions. The multiple mounting positions are arranged along the arrangement direction X. Each mounting position is used to install a socket connector 31. The connecting end face 21 has multiple fixing holes 212 at the edge of the mounting hole 211. The multiple fixing holes 212 are distributed on both sides of the extension direction Y.

[0025] The locking frame 2 is installed on the outer side of the fixed panel 1 in the outward extension direction Y. The fixed end face 23 is fixedly connected to the side end face 13. The fixed end face 23 is parallel to the side end face 13. Each side end face 13 is provided with at least two first connecting holes 131 and each fixed end face 23 is provided with at least two second connecting holes 231. A first connector (not shown) passes through the first connecting holes 131 and the second connecting holes 231. The first connector can be connected by screws and fixed by nuts. A wire-passing groove 14 is formed between the middle end face 11 and the connecting end face 21 in the insertion direction Z. A clearance groove 15 is formed between the side end face 13 and the side arm 12 on one side and the middle end face 11. The clearance groove 15 is located on the back side of the wire-passing groove 14 and passes through in the insertion direction Z.

[0028] As can be seen above, the fixing panel is used to fix the connection device. The middle end face and the side end face are not coplanar. When the locking frame is connected to the fixing panel, a wire-passing groove is formed between the middle end face and the connection end face along the insertion direction. The socket connector is fixedly assembled in the mounting hole. After the socket connector and the plug connector are connected, the cable of the socket and / or plug can pass through the wire-passing groove, thereby achieving relative fixation of the cable, so as to facilitate the routing and wiring of the cable.
