[0018] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0019] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an embodiment of the present invention: a backplate connector that is easy to install.

[0020] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, an easy-to-install backplane connector according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: connector 1, connecting plate 2 and mounting mechanism 3.

[0021] The inner wall of the connecting plate 2 is connected to the outer wall of the connector 1, and the mounting mechanism 3 includes a mounting rail 31, a connecting rail 33, and a connecting component 4.

[0022] The mounting rail 31 is located outside the connector 1, the connecting rail 33 is located outside the mounting rail 31, and the connecting component 4 is located inside the connecting rail 33.

[0023] A locking groove 32 is provided at one end of the mounting rail 31.

[0024] Specifically, when the backplate connector 1 needs to be installed, the operator first aligns the mounting rail 31 with the component to be installed, and then pushes the backplate connector 1 so that the mounting rail 31 slides along the component until the locking groove 32 is aligned with the locking structure on the component.

[0025] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting assembly 4 includes a fixed ball 41, a fixed post 42, a first spring 43, a locking member 44, and a connecting member 45.

[0026] The first spring 43 is disposed on the inner wall of the connecting rail 33, and the other end of the first spring 43 is connected to the fixed post 42. The locking member 44 is disposed on the inner wall of the connecting rail 33, and the connecting member 45 is disposed on the inner wall of the connecting rail 33.

[0027] Fixed balls 41 are equidistantly arranged inside the connecting rail 33.

[0028] Specifically, when the mounting rail 31 slides along the component, the fixing ball 41 contacts the corresponding structure on the component and undergoes a certain elastic deformation under the action of the first spring 43, thereby increasing the stability and firmness of the connection. Simultaneously, the fixing post 42 moves along with the fixing ball 41. When the locking groove 32 aligns with the locking structure on the component, the fixing post 42 pops out under the elastic force of the first spring 43, cooperating with the locking structure to achieve quick installation of the backplate connector 1. At this time, the connector 45 plays an auxiliary fixing role, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection assembly 4.

[0029] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, connector 1 is provided with a fixing mechanism 5.

[0030] The fixing mechanism 5 includes a limiting post 52, a second spring 53, and a locking block 56.

[0031] The connector 1 has a fixing groove 51. The limiting post 52 is set on the inner wall of the fixing groove 51. The second spring 53 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting post 52, and the locking block 56 is connected to the other end of the second spring 53.

[0032] The limiting post 52 is equipped with a third spring 54, and the other end of the third spring 54 is connected to the limiting block 55.

[0033] The connecting plate 2 has a slot 6, and the inner wall size of the slot 6 matches the outer wall size of the block 56.

[0034] Specifically, when connector 1 needs to be connected to another component, the operator can align the locking block 56 with the slot 6 on the connecting plate 2 and push connector 1, causing the locking block 56 to slide along the slot 6. During the sliding process, the locking block 56 is subjected to the elastic force of the second spring 53, thus tightly fitting against the inner wall of the slot 6. When the locking block 56 slides to the end of the slot 6, it is blocked by the limiting post 52. At this time, the locking block 56 will be tightly locked in the slot 6 under the elastic force of the second spring 53, realizing the quick connection between connector 1 and connecting plate 2. At the same time, a third spring 54 is provided inside the limiting post 52, and the other end of the third spring 54 is connected to the limiting block 55. When the locking block 56 is subjected to external force, it will push the limiting block 55 to move and compress the third spring 54. When the external force disappears, the third spring 54 will return to its original state, pushing the limiting block 55 and the locking block 56 to reset, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0035] Working Principle: When using connector 1, the operator first ensures that the mounting rail 31 is aligned with the component to be installed. Then, by pushing the backplate connector 1, the mounting rail 31 slides along the component. During this process, the fixing ball 41 contacts the corresponding structure on the component and undergoes elastic deformation under the action of the first spring 43, ensuring the stability and firmness of the connection. When the locking groove 32 is fully aligned with the locking structure on the component, the fixing post 42 pops out under the elastic force of the first spring 43, cooperating with the locking structure to achieve quick and secure installation of the backplate connector 1. Simultaneously, the connecting piece 45 plays an auxiliary fixing role, further enhancing the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0036] After installation, if it is necessary to connect connector 1 to another component, such as connecting plate 2, the operator only needs to align the locking block 56 with the slot 6 on the connecting plate 2 and push connector 1. During this process, the locking block 56 is tightly fitted against the inner wall of the slot 6 by the elastic force of the second spring 53. When the locking block 56 slides to the end of the slot 6, it is blocked by the limiting post 52 and tightly locked in the slot 6 by the elastic force of the second spring 53, thus achieving a quick and stable connection between connector 1 and connecting plate 2. This design not only simplifies the installation process but also improves the efficiency and accuracy of installation.

[0037] In summary, the backplate connector of this utility model, which is easy to install, achieves quick and stable installation of the backplate connector 1 through the cooperation of the sliding mounting rail 31 and the locking groove 32, as well as the interaction of the fixing ball 41, the fixing post 42 and the first spring 43 in the connecting assembly 4.
