Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to a connector with a snap-locking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors (also known as plugs, sockets, or connectors) are devices used in electronic engineering to connect two or more electronic components, circuits, or subsystems. Their core function is to enable the transmission of current or signals, while also providing mechanical support and environmental protection.

[0003] Existing connectors typically consist of two connection ends: a plug and a socket. The plug is inserted into the socket to establish electrical connection. When fixing the two connection ends, some require a pair of screws and nuts, which makes installation and disassembly cumbersome. Other snap-fit ​​connection ends are usually fixed only by a boss and a groove. If the two connection ends are pulled during use, they can easily separate, causing the connection to fail. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that existing connectors are mostly fixed by screws, nuts or bosses and grooves, which are troublesome to install and remove, or easily separated by pulling, leading to connection failure.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is a connector with a snap-locking mechanism, including a pair of connecting wires. One end of each pair of connecting wires is provided with a connecting end one and a connecting end two. A plug is fixedly provided on one side of the connecting end one, and the plug has retaining grooves on both the upper and lower sides.

[0006] One side of the connecting end has an opening, and the upper and lower sides of the opening are provided with reserved grooves. A baffle is rotatably provided between the two ends of the reserved groove. The edge of the baffle is engaged in the groove. Several compression springs are fixed on one side of the baffle, and one end of the compression spring is in contact with one side of the groove.

[0007] A buckle is clamped between the first connecting end and the second connecting end. A plug-in block is symmetrically fixed on one side of the buckle. A protrusion is fixed on the top of both sides of the plug-in block. A connecting groove is opened on one side of the connecting end at the plug-in block. A groove is opened in the connecting groove for the protrusion to be engaged.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a protruding plate is fixed to one side of the baffle that passes through the second connecting end, and moving the protruding plate can control the baffle to rotate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lower side of the buckle conforms to the shape of the upper edge of the plug, and the bottom end of the buckle has an open structure to facilitate stable engagement of the buckle.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: when the baffle is installed on one side of the reserved groove, the distance between the first connecting end and the second connecting end is the same as the thickness of the buckle, so as to facilitate the insertion of the buckle and fix the distance between the first connecting end and the second connecting end.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This application adds a baffle, a groove and a buckle structure. By making the baffle snap into the groove, it is easy to prevent the second connection end from detaching from the first connection end. Then, the buckle is used to lock it between the first connection end and the second connection end, so that the position of the second connection end and the first connection end is fixed.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0021] This utility model provides a technical solution to address the existing problems mentioned in the background art.

[0022] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 2 4. It can be seen that there is a pair of connecting wires 1. One end of the pair of connecting wires 1 is respectively provided with connecting end 2 and connecting end 3. A plug 4 is fixedly provided on one side of connecting end 2. The plug 4 has a retaining groove 4.1 on both the upper and lower sides to retain the baffle 5. A socket 3.1 is provided on one side of connecting end 3.1. A reserved groove 3.2 is provided on both the upper and lower sides near the opening to provide enough space for the rotation of the baffle 5. The baffle 5 is rotatably provided between the two ends of the reserved groove 3.2. The edge of the baffle 5 is engaged in the retaining groove 4.1. Several compression springs 6 are fixed on one side of the baffle 5 to facilitate the rebound of the baffle 5. One end of the compression spring 6 contacts one side of the retaining groove 4.1. A protruding plate 10 is fixed on one side of the baffle 5 that passes through the connecting end 3. Moving the protruding plate 10 can control the rotation of the baffle 5.

[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 3 , 5 A buckle 7 is sandwiched between the first connecting end 2 and the second connecting end 3. The lower side of the buckle 7 conforms to the shape of the upper edge of the plug 4, and the bottom of the buckle 7 is an open structure to facilitate stable engagement. A plug block 8 is symmetrically fixed on one side of the buckle 7. A protrusion 9 is fixed on the top of both sides of the plug block 8. A connecting groove 2.1 is opened on the side of the first connecting end 2 at the plug block 8. A groove 2.2 for the protrusion 9 to engage is opened in the connecting groove 2.1. When the baffle 5 is set on one side of the reserved groove 3.2, the distance between the first connecting end 2 and the second connecting end 3 is the same as the thickness of the buckle 7 to facilitate the insertion of the buckle 7 and fix the distance between the first connecting end 2 and the second connecting end 3.

[0024] The working principle of this application is as follows: When connecting two connecting wires 1, the plug 4 is first inserted into the socket 3.1. During the insertion process, the baffle 5 will be continuously squeezed by the plug 4 and located in the reserved groove 3.2. When the bottom end of the baffle 5 is located at the retaining groove 4.1, the plug 4 is pulled back a little so that the baffle 5 can be blocked in the retaining groove 4.1. At this time, a certain distance will be generated between the first connecting end 2 and the second connecting end 3. Then, the buckle 7 is inserted at this position so that the plug block 8 is inserted into the connecting groove 2.1 and the protrusion 9 is engaged in the groove 2.2, thereby fixing the position of the first connecting end 2 and the second connecting end 3.

[0025] When it is necessary to separate the first connection end 2 from the second connection end 3, the buckle 7 needs to be removed first, then the first connection end 2 and the second connection end 3 are squeezed to make the baffle 5 disengage from the groove 4.1. Then, the index finger and thumb are used to turn the protrusion 10 to control the rotation of the baffle 5 so that the baffle 5 is located in the reserved groove 3.2. Then the plug 4 can be pulled out of the socket 3.1 to achieve separation.

[0026] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
