A connector with pre-clamping function and a socket with the same

Abstract

This utility model discloses a connector with a pre-clamping function and a socket having the connector. The connector includes a connecting base and clamping plates fixed to the connecting base. A clamping groove is formed between the two clamping plates. A support member is provided on the side of the clamping plate, and a reserved gap is provided between the support member and the clamping plate. When the plug is inserted into the clamping groove, the two clamping plates are pushed outward, and the clamping plates abut against the corresponding support members. The support members provide a pre-clamping force to the clamping plates. The support members can provide a reaction force to the clamping plates forming the clamping groove when the plug is inserted into the clamping groove, thereby avoiding excessive deformation of the clamping plates when they are pushed open. This avoids the phenomenon that the clamping capacity of the clamping plates will be greatly reduced or even lost after frequent plugging and unplugging, effectively improving the reliability of the connector and extending the service life of the socket.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a connector with a pre-clamping function and a socket having the connector. Background Technology

[0002] A socket is an electrical device used to connect electrical equipment to a power system, enabling the transmission of electrical energy through the insertion of a plug. It serves as the interface between the power supply network and the electrical equipment, typically fixed to a wall, floor, or portable device. A socket usually consists of a housing and an internal metal plate, with a connector on the metal plate for clamping the plug. Sockets are frequently plugged and unplugged, and due to the fatigue properties of metal, the clamping capacity of the connector in many sockets decreases or even disappears after prolonged use, causing the plug and socket connection to loosen, resulting in poor electrical contact and even electrical sparks. To address these problems, this paper proposes a connector with a pre-clamping function and a socket incorporating this connector. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a connector and socket with a pre-clamping function, which has a simple structure, is easy to use, can reliably clamp the plug, and can extend the service life of the connector.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a connector with a pre-clamping function, the connector including a connecting seat and clamping plates fixed to the connecting seat, a clamping groove is formed between the two clamping plates, a support is provided on the side of the clamping plate, and a reserved gap is provided between the support and the clamping plate; when the plug is inserted into the clamping groove, the two clamping plates are pushed outward, and the clamping plates abut against the corresponding support, and the support provides a pre-clamping force for the clamping plates.

[0005] Preferably, the connecting seat is connected to an auxiliary plate, and corresponding support members are provided on the outer sides of both clamping plates. The support members are fixed to the auxiliary plate. The advantage is that the support members can be flexibly set and fixed by the auxiliary plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the distance between the two clamping plates gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the support member is inclined and close to the corresponding clamping plate. The advantage is that the clamping plate with the upper smaller and lower larger structure can provide a certain clamping force through its own shape, and at the same time, the inclined support member corresponds to the clamping plate, thereby further improving the clamping ability of the clamping plate after the plug is inserted.

[0007] Furthermore, the auxiliary plate is fixed with a vertical connecting plate, and the support member is fixed to the auxiliary plate through the connecting plate; the advantage is that by designing the height of the connecting plate, reliable cooperation between the support member and the clamping plate can be ensured.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping groove is vertically arranged, and the two support members are horizontally arranged and fixed to the auxiliary plate; the advantage is that the horizontally arranged support members have a simple structure, which facilitates production and processing while ensuring pre-clamping capability.

[0009] Furthermore, the auxiliary plate is fixed with a vertical connecting plate, and the support member is fixed to the auxiliary plate through the connecting plate. The advantage is that the vertically arranged connecting plate makes it easy to design the position of the support member and the clamping plate, thereby ensuring that when the clamping plate is opened, the support member provides a reliable pre-clamping force for the clamping plate.

[0010] Furthermore, intermediate plates are provided on both sides of the bottom of the connecting seat, and the intermediate plates are fixed to the corresponding support members.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting seat, intermediate plate, and support are integrally formed; the advantage is that the integral forming setting can effectively improve production efficiency, while ensuring its own deformation capacity, and providing support force when the clamping plate abuts against the support.

[0012] Furthermore, based on the above, the support member and the auxiliary plate are integrally formed; the advantage is that it can improve processing efficiency while ensuring reliability in use.

[0013] A socket having the connector includes a socket body having a plurality of socket positions, wherein the connector is disposed within each socket position.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of this utility model is that the supporting member can provide a reaction force to the clamping plate that constitutes the clamping groove when the plug is inserted into the clamping groove, thereby avoiding excessive deformation of the clamping plate when it is stretched open. This avoids the phenomenon that the clamping plate will have a significant reduction or even loss of clamping ability after frequent plugging and unplugging, effectively improving the reliability of the connector and extending the service life of the socket.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-11 This utility model will be described in further detail.

[0018] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0019] A connector with a pre-clamping function is disclosed. The connector 100 includes a connector base 1 and clamping plates 3 fixed to the connector base. A clamping groove 2 is formed between the two clamping plates. A support member 4 is provided on the side of the clamping plate, and a reserved gap 6 is provided between the support member and the clamping plate. When the plug is inserted into the clamping groove, the two clamping plates 3 are pushed outward, and the clamping plates 3 abut against the corresponding support members 4. The support members provide a pre-clamping force to the clamping plates. By providing a support member, a reaction force can be applied to the clamping plates forming the clamping groove when the plug is inserted into the clamping groove, thereby avoiding excessive deformation of the clamping plates when they are pushed open. This prevents the clamping capacity from being significantly reduced or even lost after frequent plugging and unplugging, effectively improving the reliability of the connector and extending the service life of the socket.

[0020] Based on the above, in order to improve the flexibility of the support member 4, the connecting seat 1 is connected to the auxiliary plate 5, and the outer sides of the two clamping pieces 3 are provided with corresponding support members, and the support member 4 is fixed to the auxiliary plate 5.

[0021] The following examples illustrate this in detail: Example 1: A connector with pre-clamping function. The connector includes a connecting base 1, on which two opposing clamping plates 3 are fixed. The distance between the two clamping plates gradually decreases from bottom to top, forming a clamping groove 2. An auxiliary plate 5 is connected to the connecting base 1. Corresponding support members 4 are provided on the outer sides of both clamping plates 3. The support members are fixed to the auxiliary plate, and are close to the corresponding clamping plates with a gap, which is a reserved gap 6. When the plug is inserted into the clamping groove 2, the two clamping plates are pushed outward, and the clamping plates abut against the corresponding support members 4. The support members provide pre-clamping force for the clamping plates. The clamping groove 2, with its upper smaller and lower larger structure, can provide a certain clamping force through its own edge. At the same time, the inclined support members 4 correspond to the clamping plates 3, thereby further improving the clamping capacity of the clamping plates after the plug is inserted, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown.

[0022] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the auxiliary plate 5 is fixed with a vertical connecting plate 5.1. The support member 4 is fixed to the auxiliary plate through the connecting plate. By designing the height of the connecting plate, reliable cooperation between the support member 4 and the clamping piece 3 can be ensured, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown.

[0023] Example 3: A connector with a pre-clamping function. The connector includes a connecting seat 1 and clamping plates 3 fixed to the connecting seat. A vertically arranged clamping groove 2 is formed between the two clamping plates. A support member 4 is provided on the side of the clamping plate 3. The connecting seat is connected to an auxiliary plate 5. The support member 4 is horizontally arranged and fixed to the auxiliary plate 5. The support member is close to the corresponding clamping plate with a gap, which is a reserved gap 6. When the plug is inserted into the clamping groove 2, the two clamping plates are pushed outward, and the clamping plates abut against the corresponding support members. The support members provide a pre-clamping force for the clamping plates. Figure 5 As shown.

[0024] Example 4: Based on Example 3, the auxiliary plate 5 is fixed with a vertical connecting plate 5.1. The support member 4 is fixed to the auxiliary plate 5 via the connecting plate 5.1. The vertically arranged connecting plate 5.1 facilitates the design of the engagement position between the support member 4 and the clamping plate 3, thereby ensuring that when the clamping plate 3 is opened, the support member 4 provides a reliable pre-clamping force for the clamping plate 3, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 As shown.

[0025] It is worth mentioning that the support and auxiliary plate in Examples 1-4 can be integrally formed. Integral forming can improve processing efficiency and ensure reliability in use.

[0026] Example 5, as attached Figure 7As shown, a connector with a pre-clamping function is disclosed. The connector includes a connecting seat 1 and clamping plates 3 fixed to the connecting seat 1. A clamping groove 2 is formed between the two clamping plates. An intermediate plate 7 is provided on both sides of the bottom of the connecting seat 1. A support member 4 is fixed on the intermediate plate 7. The support member is close to the corresponding clamping plate and has a reserved gap 6. The support member 4 is located on the side of the corresponding clamping plate 3. When the plug is inserted into the clamping groove, the two clamping plates are pushed outward and the clamping plates abut against the corresponding support members. The support members provide a pre-clamping force for the clamping plates.

[0027] It is worth mentioning that the connecting seat 1, the support 4 and the intermediate plate 7 are integrally formed. The integral forming can effectively improve production efficiency and at the same time ensure its own deformation capacity, providing support force when the clamping plate abuts against the support.

[0028] Example 6, as attached Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 As shown, a connector with a pre-clamping function includes a connector base 1 and clamping plates 3 fixed to the connector base, with a clamping groove 2 formed between the two clamping plates. Connecting terminals 8.3 are provided on both sides of the connector base 1 via metal strips 8.2. Support members 4 located on both sides of the connector base are fixed to the corresponding connecting terminals 8.3 and extend close to the connector base. A reserved gap 6 is provided between the support members 4 and the clamping plates 3. When the plug is inserted into the clamping groove, the two clamping plates 3 are pushed outwards, and the clamping plates 3 abut against the corresponding support members 4, with the support members providing a pre-clamping force for the clamping plates.

[0029] This utility model also discloses a socket with the above-mentioned connectors, specifically including a socket body 8, the socket body having a plurality of socket positions 8.1, a metal busbar being provided inside the socket body, the metal busbar having connectors, and plug terminals 8.3 corresponding to the socket positions, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 10 and attached Figure 11 As shown.
