Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication connector technology, and more specifically, it relates to a multi-interface self-locking communication connector. Background Technology

[0002] In modern communication equipment, fast, stable and secure connectors are essential components, especially in applications that require multi-interface connections. As the number of devices continues to increase, connector interfaces need to simultaneously meet the requirements of efficient connection and secure locking of multiple terminals.

[0003] However, existing connectors often have the problem of difficulty in locking the terminals during connection, resulting in unstable connections, poor contact or loosening, which in turn affects the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, under this background, how to ensure that the connector terminals can be firmly locked during connection and avoid loosening due to improper operation has become the key point of technological improvement.

[0004] Furthermore, as communication devices become increasingly complex, quick unlocking has become particularly important. In some applications that require frequent plugging and unplugging and replacement of connectors, the unlocking operation of traditional connectors is cumbersome and often takes a long time to complete. It may even require the use of special tools to assist in unlocking. This not only reduces ease of use but also increases the complexity of operation and affects work efficiency.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-interface self-locking communication connector, which has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The design of this device, through a self-locking mechanism, greatly improves the stability of the connector. When the terminal is inserted into the port, the locking block achieves self-locking through the cooperation of the inclined surface and the retaining ring, ensuring a firm connection of the connector during use. This design can effectively prevent the connector from loosening due to vibration or external force during high-intensity use, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the equipment operation. In addition, the cooperation between the push spring and the locking block can ensure that the terminal is always in a stable state after insertion, avoiding poor contact or loose contact, and further ensuring the transmission quality of communication signals.

[0019] 2. The design of this device also reflects its high convenience and efficiency. Through the design of the sliding sleeve and groove structure, the unlocking process becomes simpler and faster. When unlocking is required, the operator only needs to push the sliding sleeve to easily release the locked state. This convenient operation method greatly reduces the complexity of unlocking traditional connectors, avoids the trouble of using external tools, and improves work efficiency. Especially in application scenarios that require frequent plugging and unplugging and replacement of connectors, this design can significantly improve the convenience and time efficiency of operation.

[0020] 3. This device also incorporates the design of tension springs and push springs, further enhancing the smoothness of the locking and unlocking process. The tension spring design effectively ensures that the sliding sleeve can move smoothly during the unlocking process, while the push spring allows the locking block to be accurately pushed in during the locking process, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. Through these ingenious designs, the device can maintain efficient locking and unlocking functions during long-term use, extending the service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 A multi-interface self-locking communication connector includes a connector body 1, a port 2 on the connector body 1, a terminal 3 inserted into the port 2, a cable 4 connected to the top of each terminal 3, and a locking mechanism on the outside of each port 2. The locking mechanism includes a locking sleeve 5 and a locking rod 6. The locking sleeve 5 is fixed to the outer wall of the connector body 1, and the locking rod 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the cable 4 and inserted into the locking sleeve 5. A retaining ring 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the locking sleeve 5. A movable groove 8 is provided on the outer wall of the locking rod 6. Multiple sets of movable grooves 8 are provided. A locking block 9 is slidably provided in each set of movable grooves 8. A sliding groove 10 is provided on the outer wall of the locking sleeve 5. A sliding sleeve 11 is slidably provided in the sliding groove 10. A push sleeve 12 is fixed to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 11.

[0031] Both ports 2 and terminals 3 are provided in multiple sets. Multiple sets of ports 2 are distributed on the outer wall of the connector body 1, and multiple sets of terminals 3 are inserted into multiple sets of ports 2. The principle is that by setting multiple sets of ports and terminals, the contact points of the connector are increased, thereby improving the stability of the connection and the overall transmission capability of the system.

[0032] Multiple sets of push springs 13 are connected between the inner wall of the multiple sets of locking blocks 9 and the movable groove 8. The principle is that multiple sets of push springs can provide uniform elastic force, so that the locking blocks 9 can be smoothly reset after insertion, ensuring that the locking blocks 9 are firmly locked and improving the self-locking capability of the connector.

[0033] The top of the multiple sets of card blocks 9 and the inner wall of the retaining ring 7 are all set with bevels. The principle is that the bevel design makes it easier for the card blocks 9 to cooperate with the retaining ring 7 during the insertion process, ensuring that the card blocks 9 smoothly enter the retaining ring 7 and maintain a firm connection.

[0034] The outer wall of the lock sleeve 5 is fixedly provided with an outer ring 14. The outer ring 14 is provided with multiple sets, and each set is fixedly provided with a slide rod 15. The slide rod 15 is provided with multiple sets, and each set is slidably connected to the slide sleeve 11. The principle is that the sliding connection between the slide rod 15 and the slide sleeve 11 allows the lock sleeve 5 to move smoothly, improving the smoothness of the locking and unlocking process and ensuring that the connector can be easily operated.

[0035] Both the inner side of the locking sleeve 5 and the outer side of the locking rod 6 are rounded. The principle is that the rounded corner design reduces friction, avoids generating greater resistance during operation, and also reduces wear caused by frequent insertion and removal, thus extending the service life of the device.

[0036] A tension spring 16 is provided between the sliding sleeve 11 and the inner wall of the outer ring 14. Multiple sets of tension springs 16 are provided. The principle is that multiple sets of tension springs provide a return force for the sliding sleeve 11, ensuring that the sliding sleeve can quickly return to its original position after unlocking, thereby improving the automatic recovery capability of the device.

[0037] Multiple sets of tension springs 16 are respectively installed on the outer wall of multiple sets of slide rods 15. The principle is that the multiple sets of tension springs 16 and slide rods 15 work together to make the sliding sleeve 11 slide more smoothly, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire unlocking mechanism.

[0038] In this embodiment, during use, the terminal 3 is inserted into the port 2 through the locking sleeve 5, and the locking rod 6 is inserted into the locking sleeve 5. The inner side of the retaining ring 7 abuts against the inclined surface set on the top of the retaining block 9, and the multiple sets of retaining blocks 9 abut against the movable groove 8 and squeeze the multiple sets of push springs 13. After the multiple sets of retaining blocks 9 are fully inserted into the locking sleeve 5, the retaining ring 7 releases its abutment against the multiple sets of retaining blocks 9, and the multiple sets of push springs 13 push the retaining blocks 9 to slide out of the movable groove 8. At this time, the bottom surface of the multiple sets of retaining blocks 9 abuts against the top surface of the retaining ring 7, completing the self-locking after the terminal 3 is connected to the port 2.

[0039] More specifically, when unlocking is required, the sliding sleeve 11 is pushed to slide along the sliding groove 10 and multiple sets of sliding rods 15 and stretch multiple sets of tension springs 16. The sliding sleeve 11 drives the push sleeve 12 to abut against the outside of multiple sets of locking blocks 9, so that multiple sets of locking blocks 9 slide into the movable groove 8 and squeeze multiple sets of push springs 13. Then the locking rod 6 can be pulled out of the locking sleeve 5, and the terminal 3 can be pulled out of the port 2 at the same time.

[0040] In summary, during use or operation of the overall equipment: When in use, the terminal 3 is inserted into the port 2 through the locking sleeve 5, and the locking rod 6 is inserted into the locking sleeve 5. The inner side of the retaining ring 7 abuts against the inclined surface set on the top of the retaining block 9, and the multiple sets of retaining blocks 9 abut against the movable groove 8 and compress the multiple sets of push springs 13. When the multiple sets of retaining blocks 9 are fully inserted into the locking sleeve 5, the retaining ring 7 releases its abutment against the multiple sets of retaining blocks 9, and the multiple sets of push springs 13 push the retaining blocks 9 to slide out of the movable groove 8. At this time, the bottom surface of the multiple sets of retaining blocks 9 abuts against the top surface of the retaining ring 7, completing the self-locking after the terminal 3 is connected to the port 2.

[0041] When unlocking is required, push the sliding sleeve 11 to slide along the sliding groove 10 and multiple sets of sliding rods 15 and stretch multiple sets of tension springs 16. The sliding sleeve 11 drives the push sleeve 12 to abut against the outside of multiple sets of locking blocks 9, so that multiple sets of locking blocks 9 slide into the movable groove 8 and squeeze multiple sets of push springs 13. Then the locking rod 6 can be pulled out of the locking sleeve 5, and the terminal 3 can be pulled out of the port 2 at the same time.
