Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a 68-pin straight plug connector for direct connection to an adapter device, including a panel socket housing 7 for alignment. The panel socket housing 7 has pins at its mating ends for mating. An alignment flange 8 is located at the center of the side end face of the panel socket housing 7. Four sets of positioning plates 1 are equidistantly arranged near the interior of the front end face of the panel socket housing 7. A threaded sleeve 3 is located on the exterior of the front end face of the panel socket housing 7 near the positioning plates 1. A sealing ring 6 is located on the exterior of the front end face of the panel socket housing 7 near the threaded sleeve 3. Two sets of guide slides 9 are located at the front of the alignment flange 8, and positioning grooves 4 are symmetrically formed on the inner end face of the alignment flange 8 opposite to the guide slides 9.

[0025] Alignment device 2, which is connected to the front of panel socket housing 7 via threaded sleeve 3 and then sealed threaded connection, is used for limiting and docking.

[0026] The limiting device 5 has two sets, and the limiting device 5 is elastically slidably engaged inside the alignment flange 8 through the positioning groove 4. The limiting device 5 and the alignment device 2 are slidably inserted into each other, and the limiting device 5 is used to perform secondary docking and limiting of the alignment device 2.

[0027] The alignment device 2 includes a straight plug housing 29. The front end of the straight plug housing 29 has equidistant insertion holes for insertion. A limiting groove 23 is slidably provided on the side end face of the straight plug housing 29 near the front. A fixing ring 28 is rotatably engaged on the side end face of the limiting groove 23. Two sets of insertion plates 27 are provided in front of the fixing ring 28. Alignment grooves 26 are provided at the ends of both sets of insertion plates 27. A threaded sleeve 24 is provided on the front end face of the limiting groove 23. A sealing cylinder 25 is provided on the front end face of the threaded sleeve 24. A support groove 21 is provided on the front end face of the straight plug housing 29. Four sets of guide grooves 22 are equidistantly provided on the front end face of the straight plug housing 29 near the outside.

[0028] The limiting device 5 includes a limiting slide 51, a limiting plate 52 is provided at the center of the rear end face of the limiting slide 51, a lever 53 is provided at the upper end face of the limiting slide 51, and a return spring 54 is provided at the center of the rear end face of the limiting slide 51.

[0029] The panel socket housing 7 is adapted to the guide slide 22 via the positioning plate 1 and then slides and engages with the straight plug housing 29. The limiting rotating groove 23 is rotated and engaged with the outside of the straight plug housing 29 via the support slide 21. The pre-alignment of the positioning plate 1 and the guide slide 22 can provide a pre-positioning basis for the alignment of the pins and the sockets, and improve the accuracy of the positioning and alignment of the sockets and pins in the straight plug housing 29 and the panel socket housing 7.

[0030] The threaded sleeve 24 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 3, and the front part of the threaded sleeve 24 is sealed and slidably engaged with the sealing ring 6 through the sealing cylinder 25. The threaded connection between the threaded sleeve 24 and the threaded sleeve 3 can improve the sealing performance of the threaded connection at the joint between the straight plug housing 29 and the panel socket housing 7. At the same time, the sealing engagement between the sealing cylinder 25 and the sealing ring 6 can further improve the stability of the sealing between the straight plug housing 29 and the panel socket housing 7.

[0031] The insertion plate 27 is slidably connected to the guide slide 9, and both the insertion plate 27 and the limiting plate 52 have chamfered ends. The chamfered ends of the insertion plate 27 and the limiting plate 52 allow the two sets of limiting plates 52 to be automatically opened when the insertion plate 27 slides inside the guide slide 9, so that the two sets of limiting plates 52 can automatically limit the internal positioning of the alignment slot 26.

[0032] The limiting slide 51 is adapted to the alignment slot 26 via the limiting plate 52 and then slides into the insertion plate 27. The limiting slide 51 is slidably locked inside the positioning slot 4 via the lever 53, and the return spring 54 is fixedly connected to the inside of the positioning slot 4. When disassembling the straight plug housing 29 and the panel socket housing 7, the user can pull the two sets of limiting plates 52 backward via the lever 53 to release the limitation on the insertion plate 27, which facilitates a quick and convenient disassembly operation. The return spring 54 can provide sufficient elasticity for the limiting plate 52, so that the limiting plate 52 can be stably limited in the alignment slot 26 at the front of the insertion plate 27, improving the stability of the subsequent docking limitation between the straight plug housing 29 and the panel socket housing 7.

[0033] Working Principle: During use, the operator can install and align the panel socket housing 7 to a suitable location. Before aligning and inserting the straight plug housing 29 and the panel socket housing 7, the operator can align the straight plug housing 29 and the panel socket housing 7 coaxially. Then, the operator can guide the panel socket housing 7 and the straight plug housing 29 to move centripetally. At this time, the insertion plate 27 can be initially positioned by the guide slide 9 and the alignment flange 8. Subsequently, as the panel socket housing 7 and the straight plug housing 29 gradually approach each other, the positioning plate 1 can perform secondary positioning of the straight plug housing 29 and the panel socket housing 7 by sliding and limiting with the guide slide 22, thereby maximizing the accuracy of the coaxial alignment of the straight plug housing 29 and the panel socket housing 7. After the secondary alignment is completed, the pins of the panel socket housing 7 and the sockets inside the straight plug housing 29 can be inserted into each other. At the same time, the threaded sleeve 24 can be aligned with the outside of the threaded sleeve 3. The operator can rotate the threaded sleeve 24 with an external tool. At this time, the threaded sleeve 24 can be connected with the threaded sleeve 3 through the thread. This can both drive the pins of the panel socket housing 7 to connect with the sockets inside the straight plug housing 29 and close the connection. It can also allow the sealing cylinder 25 to be inserted into the sealing ring 6 for secondary sealing. After the threaded sleeve 24 and the threaded sleeve 3 are connected by threads, the sealing cylinder 25 can be fully inserted into the sealing ring 6. At the same time, the insertion plate 27 can be aligned between the two sets of limiting plates 52 through the alignment slot 26 to complete the secondary locking.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
