Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical connector technology, and in particular to a connector. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is an electronic component used to transmit current or signals between electronic devices. It typically consists of two or more pins, sockets, or connecting parts to facilitate interconnection between devices. The main function of a connector is to provide a stable and reliable electrical connection, signal transmission, and current transmission. Different types of connectors are used in various application areas, such as electronic communications, computers, automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN211556315U, which discloses a connector comprising a first connector and a second connector. The first and second connectors are fixed together by an elastic member on the first connector and a slot on the second connector. During engagement, the second connector overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member, causing a locking point on the elastic member to abut against the inner surface of the second connector's outer shell until the locking point is pushed into the slot on the outer shell. During separation, pressing the pressing part of the first TPA member on the first connector overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member, causing the locking point and slot to separate. This invention has a simple structure, a stable connection, and a long service life, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned patent is approved, pressing the first TPA component pressing part on the first connector overcomes the elastic force of the elastic component to separate the locking point and the slot. The structure is simple, the connection is stable, the service life is long, and it is suitable for promotion. However, the use requirements in complex environments cause the connector to be prone to loosening when subjected to vibration or external force, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of signal transmission. Therefore, a connector is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a connector that improves the problem of some devices failing to secure the connector head, leading to loosening due to vibration.

[0006] The connector provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: it includes two support blocks, and a placement box is fixedly connected to the outer adjacent side of the two support blocks. A base is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the placement box. Multiple pins are provided on the outer side of the placement box. Multiple signal springs are fixedly connected to the outer side of the placement box, i.e., the side close to the pins. Engaging mechanisms are provided on both outer sides of the placement box. A cable management mechanism is provided on the other outer side of the placement box. The locking mechanism includes two support blocks, which are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the placement box. A limit component is slidably connected to the adjacent outer sides of the two support blocks. A rotating column is rotatably connected to the adjacent outer side of the support blocks. A locking plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating column. An eccentric column is fixedly connected to the outer side of the locking plate.

[0007] Through the above technical solution: the cam-shaped design of the eccentric column can firmly engage the connector, effectively preventing the connector from loosening or falling off due to vibration or other external forces, significantly improving the stability and reliability of the connector in various complex environments. The design of the sliding column and locking plate makes the installation and fixing of the connector convenient, while the pins and connector achieve electrical connection. Multiple signal springs near the pins make close contact with the pins through their own elastic deformation, further ensuring reliable transmission of electrical signals.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component includes two sliding columns, the two sliding columns are slidably connected to the outer adjacent side of the support block, the two support blocks have two slots inside, and the two sliding columns are slidably connected to the inside of the slots. The outer side of the rotating column is located outside the sliding columns, i.e., close to the placement box. The top of the two sliding columns is fixedly connected to a locking plate, and the outer side of the locking plate is located at the top of the support block.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting component, through the design of the sliding column and the locking plate, provides stable sliding and limiting functions, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the locking action. The cam-like structure of the eccentric column can firmly lock the connector, effectively preventing it from falling off due to vibration.

[0010] Preferably, the thread handling mechanism includes two support rods, which are externally fixed to the outside of the placement box, i.e., the side away from the pins, and the two support rods have sliding grooves inside.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the support rod provides stable support for the cable management mechanism, ensuring that it will not shake or shift during use, thus enhancing the structural stability of the entire connector. The sliding groove provides a precise sliding path for the sliding block, improving the movement accuracy of the sliding block.

[0012] Preferably, the sliding groove has two sliding blocks slidably connected inside, and two support rods slidably connected on the outer adjacent sides of the two sliding blocks.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the sliding block and support rod makes the adjustment of the wiring harness more flexible. The position of the support rod can be easily adjusted by sliding the sliding block.

[0014] Preferably, a soft rubber strip is fixedly connected to the outer adjacent side of the two support rods, and a guide post is fixedly connected to the outer side of each support rod, i.e., the side closest to the soft rubber strip.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the soft rubber strip, made of a flexible and elastic material, can tightly wrap and fix the wire harness, effectively preventing indentations or damage during the fixing process, and significantly improving the service life and integrity of the wire harness. The guide post provides precise guidance for the movement of the support rod, ensuring smooth and linear movement during sliding.

[0016] Preferably, a compression spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide post, and the outside of the compression spring is located on top of the soft rubber strip.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the compression spring can automatically compress the wire harness through its elastic properties, so that the soft rubber strip can dynamically adjust the compression force according to the thickness and quantity of the wire harness.

[0018] Preferably, the eccentric column is cam-shaped, so that it is fixed to the outside of the card plate, i.e., the side near the pin.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the cam-shaped structure of the eccentric column can tightly fix the joint, effectively preventing the joint from loosening due to vibration or external force.

[0020] Preferably, the exterior of the plurality of signal springs is located on an adjacent side of the plurality of pins, and the exterior of the plurality of signal springs is located on the top of the base.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the signal spring makes tight contact with the pin through elastic deformation, ensuring efficient and stable transmission of electrical signals, improving the reliability of the electrical connection, and adapting to pin size variations within a certain range, thus enhancing the connector's adaptability. The base provides stable support for the entire connector, enhancing the overall structural stability of the connector.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. In this utility model, the eccentric column locking design firmly fixes the connector, preventing it from falling off due to vibration, which significantly improves the connection stability. At the same time, the close contact between the signal spring and the pin enhances the electrical connection performance, ensures reliable transmission of electrical signals, improves communication quality, increases ease of use, and reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0023] 2. In this utility model, the design of the soft rubber strips effectively protects the wire harness and prevents damage during placement and fixing. At the same time, it avoids bending at the wire harness joint and wear of the wire sheath, which significantly improves the service life of the wire harness. By sliding the sliding block in the sliding groove, the distance between the soft rubber strips can be flexibly adjusted, and the wire harness can be unfolded or tightened according to the actual length of the wire harness and the needs of the arrangement, which enhances the adaptability and flexibility of the wire management mechanism.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0027] Example: A connector, see reference Figures 1 to 3 The device includes two support blocks 1, which are designed to provide good support. A placement box 2 is fixedly connected to the outer adjacent side of the two support blocks 1, which is designed to provide good support and placement. A base 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the placement box 2, which is designed to provide good support and easy removal of the placement box 2, making it easy to pick up and move the placement box 2. Multiple pins 3 are provided on the outer side of the placement box 2, which is designed to realize electrical connection. Multiple signal springs 4 are fixedly connected on the outer side of the placement box 2, that is, the side close to the pins 3. There are three signal springs 4. The signal springs 4 are important components for the connector to realize stable electrical connection. Through their own elastic deformation, they make tight contact with the pins to ensure that the electrical signal can be reliably transmitted. The outer two sides of the placement box 2 are provided with locking mechanisms 6, and the other outer side of the placement box 2 is provided with a cable management mechanism 7. The locking mechanism 6 includes two support blocks 61, which are designed to provide good support capabilities, enabling stable support on both sides of the placement box 2. The two support blocks 61 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the placement box 2. A limiting component 65 is slidably connected to the adjacent outer side of the two support blocks 61. The limiting component 65 includes two sliding posts 652, which are designed to provide good sliding capabilities, allowing them to slide on the support blocks 61. The outer side of the sliding posts 652 penetrates the interior of the two support blocks 61 on the same side. The outer side of the two sliding posts 652 is slidably connected to the adjacent outer side of the support blocks 61. Two slots 651 are opened inside the two support blocks 61, which are designed to provide good sliding space, allowing the sliding posts 652 to slide smoothly inside the support blocks 61. The outer side of the two sliding posts 652 is slidably connected to the interior of the slots 651. The outer side of the rotating post 62 is located outside the sliding posts 652, i.e., on the side closer to the placement box 2. Two sliding posts 652 are fixedly connected to their tops by locking plates 653, which provide good limiting ability to prevent the two sliding posts 652 from sliding to the adjacent side of the two support blocks 61. The outer side of the locking plate 653 is located on the top of the support block 61. The sliding posts 652 are rotatably connected to the adjacent side of the two support blocks 61, which provides good rotation ability to allow rotation between the two support blocks 61. The outer side of the rotating post 62 is fixedly connected by a locking plate 63, which provides good locking ability. The device has a locking capability and can drive the locking plate 63 to rotate by rotating the rotating column 62. An eccentric column 64 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the locking plate 63. Its design can provide a good locking capability. The eccentric column 64 is cam-shaped and is fixed to the outer side of the locking plate 63, that is, the side close to the pin 3. When the connector is connected to 3, the sliding column 652 is slid out first. Then, by moving the locking plate 63, the eccentric column 64 can be driven to rotate, so that the eccentric column 64 is locked to the outside of the connector. Its design can lock and fix the connector to prevent vibration from causing the connector to fall off. At this time, the other side of the card plate 63 will be at an angle away from the placement box 2. Then the sliding column 652 is placed again inside the two support blocks 61, which can engage the card plate 63. The exterior of the multiple signal springs 4 is located on the adjacent side of the multiple pins 3, and the exterior of the multiple signal springs 4 is located on the top of the base 5. Specifically, when connecting the connector to pin 3, the operator first slides the sliding post 652 out from between the two support blocks 61. Next, the locking plate 63 is moved. Since the locking plate 63 is fixedly connected to the rotating post 62, the rotating post 62 rotates accordingly, causing the eccentric post 64 fixedly connected to one side of the locking plate 63 to rotate. As the eccentric post 64 rotates, its cam-shaped structure gradually approaches the outside of the connector, ultimately locking the eccentric post 64 onto the outside of the connector, thus securing the connector and effectively preventing it from falling off due to vibration or other reasons. At this time, the other side of the locking plate 63 will be at an angle away from the placement box 2. Subsequently, the operator places the sliding post 652 back inside the two support blocks 61. Through the sliding connection between the sliding post 652 and the slot 651, and the action of the locking plate 653, the locking plate 63 can be engaged, ensuring a stable connection between the connector and the connector. Throughout the connection process, multiple pins 3 on the outer side of the housing 2 are electrically connected to the connector, while multiple signal springs 4 on the side close to the pins 3 make close contact with the pins 3 through their own elastic deformation, further ensuring that the electrical signals can be reliably transmitted, thereby achieving stable communication and control between the connector and other devices or components.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The thread handling mechanism 7 includes two support rods 71, which are designed to provide good support. The two support rods 71 ​​are fixedly connected to the outside of the placement box 2, i.e., the side away from the needle 3. The two support rods 71 ​​have sliding grooves 72 inside, which are designed to provide good sliding space. Two sliding blocks 73 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 72, which are designed to provide good sliding ability, so that the outside of the sliding blocks 73 can slide inside the sliding grooves 72. Two support rods 76 are slidably connected to the adjacent sides of the outside of the two sliding blocks 73, which are designed to slide well. At the same time, the support rods 76 can be driven to slide by the sliding blocks 73 sliding inside the sliding grooves 72. Two support rods 76 are fixedly connected to adjacent outer sides with soft rubber strips 77, which are designed to provide good protection. When the wire harness is placed on top of the soft rubber strips 77, it can prevent pressure marks. The outer side of the support rods 76, that is, the side close to the soft rubber strips 77, is fixedly connected with guide posts 74, which are designed to provide guidance. At the same time, the top support rods 76 can slide outside the guide posts 74. A compression spring 75 is sleeved on the outside of the guide posts 74, which is designed to provide good compression. When the top support rods 76 slide upward, they can compress the compression springs 75. After the wire harness is placed between the two soft rubber strips 77, the top support rods 76 are released. Then, the compression springs 75 will limit the wire harness by compression. At the same time, the sliding block 73 can spread the wire harness by different distances by sliding, which can prevent bending at the joint of the wire harness and prevent wire sheath wear. The compression springs 75 are located on top of the soft rubber strips 77. Specifically, when it is necessary to organize and secure the wire harness, the operator first slides the top support rod 76 upwards. Since the support rod 76 is slidably connected to the sliding block 73, and the sliding block 73 is located in the sliding groove 72 inside the support rod 71, the sliding block 73 will move accordingly within the sliding groove 72 as the support rod 76 slides. Simultaneously, the guide post 74 on the side of the support rod 76 near the soft rubber strip 77 guides the movement of the support rod 76, ensuring smooth sliding. During the upward sliding of the support rod 76, the compression spring 75 at its bottom is compressed, generating elastic potential energy. Next, the operator places the wire harness between the two soft rubber strips 77. The soft rubber strips 77 have good protective capabilities, preventing indentations or damage to the wire harness during placement. After placing the wire harness, the operator releases the top support rod 76. At this point, the compressed spring 75 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the support rod 76 downwards. Since the support rod 76 is fixedly connected to the soft rubber strip 77, the soft rubber strip 77 presses down on the wire harness, thus firmly securing the wire harness between the two soft rubber strips 77 and preventing it from loosening or falling off. When it is necessary to unfold or adjust the length of the wire harness, the operator can slide the sliding block 73 again. The sliding of the sliding block 73 within the sliding groove 72 moves the support rod 76, thereby adjusting the distance between the soft rubber strips 77. This allows for flexible unfolding or tightening of the wire harness according to its actual length and arrangement requirements, preventing bending at the joints, preventing wire sheath wear, and ensuring the integrity and lifespan of the wire harness.

[0029] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When connecting the mating connector to the connector, the operator first slides the sliding post 652 out of the support block 1 between the two support blocks 61. Then, the operator moves the locking plate 63. Since the locking plate 63 is connected to the rotating post 62, the rotating post 62 rotates accordingly, which in turn drives the eccentric post 64 on the outer side of the locking plate 63 to rotate. The cam-shaped structure of the eccentric post 64 gradually approaches the outside of the mating connector and finally engages with the outside of the mating connector, thus fixing the mating connector and preventing it from falling off due to vibration or other reasons. At this time, the other side of the locking plate 63 will move away from the placement box 2. Next, the operator repositions the sliding post 652 inside the two support blocks 61. Through the cooperation of the sliding post 652 and the slot 651, and the action of the locking plate 653, the locking plate 63 is engaged, ensuring a stable connection between the mating connector and the connector. Throughout the connection process, multiple pins 3 on the outer side of the housing 2 are electrically connected to the connector, while multiple signal springs 4 on the side close to the pins 3 make close contact with the pins 3 through their own elastic deformation, ensuring that the electrical signals can be reliably transmitted, thereby achieving stable communication and control between the connector and other devices or components. When the wire harness needs to be organized and secured, the operator first lifts the top support rod 76 upwards. This action causes the sliding block 73 connected to the support rod 76 to slide in the sliding groove 72 within the support rod 71. Simultaneously, the guide post 74 on the side of the support rod 76 near the soft rubber strip 77 guides the movement of the support rod 76, ensuring smooth sliding. During the upward sliding of the support rod 76, the compression spring 75 at its bottom is compressed, storing elastic potential energy. Next, the operator places the wire harness between the two soft rubber strips 77. The soft rubber strips 77 provide good protection, preventing indentations or damage to the wire harness during placement. After placing the wire harness, the operator releases the top support rod 76. At this time, the compressed compression spring 75 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the support rod 76 downwards. Since the support rod 76 is fixedly connected to the soft rubber strips 77, the soft rubber strips 77 press down on the wire harness, thus firmly securing the wire harness between the two soft rubber strips 77, preventing the wire harness from loosening or falling off. If it is necessary to unfold or adjust the length of the wire harness, the operator can slide the sliding block 73 again. By sliding the sliding block 73 within the sliding groove 72, the support rod 76 is moved, thereby adjusting the distance between the soft rubber strips 77. This allows the wire harness to be unfolded or tightened flexibly according to its actual length and tidying requirements, avoiding bending at the joints, preventing wear on the wire sheath, and ensuring the integrity and lifespan of the wire harness.
