Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector accessories technology, and in particular to a mating connector housing that is not easily misaligned. Background Technology

[0002] A mating connector is a connector that uses a mating connection method. The two parts of the connector are usually mated together. For example, a mating connector usually includes a first part with a socket and a second part with pins. The socket and pins work together to transmit current or signals, and the end faces of the first part and the second part make contact to form a mat.

[0003] This type of connector typically uses screws to connect the first part and the second part. When using screws, only the screws bear the force between the first part and the second part. This connection method is prone to stress concentration, which can cause damage to the connector.

[0004] Therefore, the housing of the mating connector in the prior art is prone to damage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model provides a mating connector housing that is not easily misaligned, solving the technical problem that mating connector housings in the prior art are easily damaged.

[0006] Some implementation schemes for solving the above-mentioned technical problems include: A mating connector housing that is not easily misaligned, comprising a first housing; The second housing is connected to the first housing, and the end face of the first housing is in contact with the end face of the second housing. A connecting component connects the first housing and the second housing; The connecting assembly includes a connecting ring. The first housing is provided with a first positioning ring groove, the second housing is provided with a second positioning ring groove, the connecting ring is provided with a first ring ridge that mates with the first positioning ring groove, and the connecting ring is also provided with a second ring ridge that mates with the second positioning ring groove. The connecting ring includes a first half-ring and a second half-ring, and the first half-ring and the second half-ring mate to form the connecting ring. The connecting assembly further includes a positioning sleeve to prevent the first half-ring and the second half-ring from misaligning. The positioning sleeve is slidably connected to the first housing and extends to the second housing. The connecting ring is completely located inside the positioning sleeve. A positioning mechanism is provided between the positioning sleeve and the first housing to position the positioning sleeve relative to the first housing.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes an external thread disposed on the first housing, the positioning sleeve is provided with an annular portion, the annular portion is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external thread of the first housing, and the positioning sleeve and the annular portion are coaxially disposed.

[0008] Preferably, the diameter of the annular portion is larger than the diameter of the positioning sleeve, and the positioning sleeve and the annular portion are an integral structure.

[0009] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the outer wall of the annular portion is polygonal, and the cross-sectional shape of the outer wall of the positioning sleeve is circular.

[0010] Preferably, the second housing is provided with an annular groove, and one end of the positioning sleeve away from the annular portion extends into the annular groove.

[0011] Preferably, the end face of the first housing that contacts the second housing is provided with a groove, and the second housing is provided with a column that cooperates with the groove, the column extending into the groove.

[0012] Preferably, the column and the second housing are an integral structure, the cross-sectional shape of the column is polygonal, there are multiple columns, the multiple columns are evenly arranged along the circumference of the second housing, and each column is matched with an independent groove.

[0013] Preferably, the first half-ring is provided with a post, and the second half-ring is provided with a socket that mates with the post, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the post is polygonal.

[0014] Preferably, the insert post and the first half-ring are an integral structure, and there are at least two insert posts, which are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the first half-ring.

[0015] Preferably, both the first and second annular edges are integral with the connecting ring, with the first annular edge having at least two rings and the second annular edge having at least two rings.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: A first positioning ring groove is provided on the first housing, and a second positioning ring groove is provided on the second housing. The connecting ring is formed by the cooperation of a first half-ring and a second half-ring, and each half-ring has a first ring ridge and a second ring ridge that cooperate with the first and second positioning ring grooves, respectively.

[0028] The specific embodiments shown below are intended to describe various configurations of the subject matter of this invention and are not intended to represent the only configuration in which the subject matter of this invention can be practiced. The specific embodiments include detailed descriptions intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter of this invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of this invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.

[0029] Understandably, in this document, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and are not intended to expressly or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0030] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a mating connector housing that is not easily misaligned includes a first housing 1; The second housing 2 is connected to the first housing 1, and the end face of the first housing 1 is in contact with the end face of the second housing 2. Connection component 3 connects the first housing 1 and the second housing 2; The connecting component 3 includes a connecting ring 31. The first housing 1 is provided with a first positioning ring groove 11, and the second housing 2 is provided with a second positioning ring groove 21. The connecting ring 31 is provided with a first ring ridge 311 that cooperates with the first positioning ring groove 11. The connecting ring 31 is also provided with a second ring ridge 312 that cooperates with the second positioning ring groove 21. The connecting ring 31 includes a first half-ring 313 and a second half-ring 314, and the first half-ring 313 and the second half-ring 314 cooperate to form the connecting ring 31. The connecting component 3 further includes a positioning sleeve 32 to prevent the first half-ring 313 and the second half-ring 314 from being misaligned. The positioning sleeve 32 is slidably connected to the first housing 1 and extends to the second housing 2. The connecting ring 31 is completely located inside the positioning sleeve 32. A positioning mechanism is provided between the positioning sleeve 32 and the first housing 1 to position the positioning sleeve relative to the first housing 1.

[0032] Understandably, before assembling the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, the positioning sleeve 32 is first installed on the first housing 1, and then the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are mated. At this time, the relative positions between the first positioning ring groove 11 and the second positioning ring groove 21 are determined. Then, the first half-ring 313 and the second half-ring 314 are installed on the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, so that the first ring ridge 311 mates with the first positioning ring groove 11 and the second ring ridge 312 mates with the second positioning ring groove 21.

[0033] Finally, the sliding positioning sleeve 32 is positioned outside the connecting ring 31, and the connecting ring 31 is completely inside the positioning sleeve 32. With the positioning sleeve 32 outside the connecting ring 31, the connecting ring 31 formed by the cooperation of the first half-ring 313 and the second half-ring 314 is not easy to come apart, thereby improving the connection strength between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0034] In practice, even if the positioning sleeve 32 is misaligned to a certain extent, as long as the positioning sleeve 32 and the connecting ring 31 are not completely misaligned, the positioning sleeve 32 can still position the connecting ring 31, which further improves the connection strength between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning mechanism includes an external thread disposed on the first housing 1, the positioning sleeve 32 is provided with an annular portion 321, the annular portion 321 is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external thread of the first housing 1, and the positioning sleeve 32 and the annular portion 321 are coaxially disposed.

[0036] The external thread can be a coarse thread. This solution uses a threaded connection to position the positioning sleeve 32. Because the threaded connection has self-locking properties, once the positioning sleeve 32 is in the target position, it will not automatically shift without external force.

[0037] In some embodiments, the diameter of the annular portion 321 is larger than the diameter of the positioning sleeve 32, and the positioning sleeve 32 and the annular portion 321 are integrally formed. This design makes it easy to assemble the annular portion 321 and the positioning sleeve 32 with the first housing 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the annular portion 321 has a polygonal cross-sectional shape, and the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 32 has a circular cross-sectional shape. The positioning sleeve 32 and the annular portion 321 can be easily operated with tools, such as a wrench.

[0039] In some embodiments, the second housing 2 is provided with an annular groove 22, and one end of the positioning sleeve 32 away from the annular portion 321 extends into the annular groove 22. The annular groove 22 is mainly used to improve the strength of the positioning sleeve 32. One end of the positioning sleeve 32 is limited by the annular portion 321, and the other end of the positioning sleeve 32 is positioned by the side wall of the annular groove 22, so that both ends of the positioning sleeve 32 are effectively positioned or limited, and the positioning sleeve 32 is not easily damaged.

[0040] In some embodiments, the end face of the first housing 1 that contacts the second housing 2 is provided with a groove, and the second housing 2 is provided with a column 23 that cooperates with the groove, the column 23 extending into the groove.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the column 23 and the second housing 2 are an integral structure. The cross-sectional shape of the column 23 is polygonal. There are multiple columns 23, which are evenly arranged along the circumference of the second housing 2. Each column 23 mates with an independent groove. The mating of the column 23 with the groove prevents the first housing 1 from rotating relative to the second housing 2, thereby improving the stability of the connector.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first half-ring 313 is provided with a post 315, and the second half-ring 314 is provided with a socket that mates with the post 315. The post 315 has a polygonal cross-sectional shape. The arrangement of the post 315 and the socket facilitates the assembly of the first half-ring 313 and the second half-ring 314. The first half-ring 313 and the second half-ring 314 are less prone to misalignment.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the insert post 315 and the first semi-ring 313 are an integral structure, and there are at least two insert posts 315, which are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the first semi-ring 313.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first annular ridge 311 and the second annular ridge 312 are both integral with the connecting ring 31, with the first annular ridge 311 having at least two rings and the second annular ridge 312 having at least two rings.

[0045] Each first annular ridge 311 mates with an independent first positioning annular groove 11, and each second annular groove 22 mates with an independent second positioning annular groove 21.

[0046] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments according to their needs to achieve a better application experience.

[0048] When implementing the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can obtain other detailed configurations or drawings based on the subject matter technical solution and the accompanying drawings.
