Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quick coupling technology, and in particular to a quick coupling for a generator vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] A mobile generator is a specialized vehicle equipped with a power supply unit, primarily used for emergency power generation and power supply. Mobile generators have a wide range of applications, covering emergency rescue, outdoor activities, temporary construction, power grid maintenance, and municipal relocation, among others.

[0003] When using a generator truck for emergency power supply, quick-connect couplings are typically used to connect the electrical equipment to the generator truck, which then supplies power. Existing quick-connect couplings require the male connector to be aligned with the markings on the female connector and then rotated 90 degrees to lock them in place. This process is relatively cumbersome, and a power outage affecting equipment requiring emergency power from the generator truck can cause significant damage, hindering the rapid restoration of power. Therefore, an improved quick-connect coupling for generator trucks is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a quick connector for a generator car to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a quick connector for a generator vehicle, including a female connector and a male connector. The female connector has a locking groove on its inner side, and a mounting box is fixedly connected to the outer side of the male connector. The mounting box contains an interconnected control groove and a storage groove. A connecting plate is provided between the control groove and the storage groove. A control plate is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate in the control groove, and a storage box is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate in the storage groove. A locking block is inserted into the storage box, and the outer side of the locking block is beveled. A first spring is provided between the locking block and the storage box, and a second spring is provided between one side of the storage box and the inner wall of the storage groove. A vertical plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the mounting box, and a locking plate that can secure the control plate is rotatably connected to the vertical plate.

[0007] Preferably, as described in any of the above schemes, the locking groove adopts a ring structure, and the mounting box also adopts a ring structure.

[0008] The above technical solution employs a quick-connect coupling structure consisting of a female connector and a male connector. These two connectors are connected to relevant components of the electrical equipment and the generator unit, respectively. After connection, the generator unit supplies power to the corresponding electrical equipment. A locking groove is provided within the female connector, which, in conjunction with a locking block, locks the male connector. The locking groove has a ring-shaped structure, compatible with the ring-shaped structure of the mounting box, and, together with the locking block, allows for locking in multiple positions, resulting in a better locking effect.

[0009] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the front end of the mounting box is beveled, and both the adjustment groove and the storage groove are annular structures.

[0010] The above technical solution provides installation space for components such as the storage box, the second spring, the connecting plate, and the control plate. The front end of the installation box is beveled to allow for smoother insertion into the connecting female connector. The control slot provides installation and movement space for the control plate, while the storage slot provides installation space for the second spring and also storage space for the storage box.

[0011] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, a plurality of connecting channels are provided between the control slot and the storage slot, and the plurality of connecting channels are evenly arranged circumferentially within the mounting box.

[0012] The above technical solution provides the conditions for setting up multiple connecting plates through multiple connecting channels. The multiple connecting channels are evenly arranged so that the storage box and the control plate can be evenly connected from all directions by multiple connecting plates, making the connection more stable.

[0013] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the control plate adopts a ring structure, and the control plate is provided with a protruding control groove.

[0014] The above technical solution employs a ring-shaped control plate for easy operation. Its protruding control groove further facilitates pushing. Pushing the control plate causes it to move the storage box via a connecting plate. As the storage box moves, the second spring is compressed. During this process, the locking block is pressed into the storage box, compressing the first spring and thus disengaging the locking block from the locking groove.

[0015] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, a guide rod is provided inside the storage box, and the first spring and the locking block are both sleeved on the outside of the guide rod.

[0016] The above technical solution involves installing a guide rod inside the storage box. The guide rod can constrain the first spring and the locking block, preventing the locking block and the first spring from displacing in other directions.

[0017] Preferably, one side of the storage box is fixedly connected to a constraint rod inserted into the mounting box, and the second spring is sleeved on the outside of the constraint rod.

[0018] The above technical solution involves installing a constraint rod on one side of the storage box to restrain it and prevent displacement in other directions. A second spring is then fitted onto the outside of this constraint rod to prevent it from bending.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. The quick connector of this generator unit, through the inclusion of a mounting box, locking groove, connecting plate, control plate, locking block, first spring, second spring, upright plate, and clamping plate, allows for seamless connection. During connection, the male connector is held and inserted into the female connector. In this process, the locking block is pressed into the housing box, compressing the first spring. When the locking block reaches the locking groove, the first spring pushes it outward, locking the male connector in place. The connection between the male and female connectors is complete, and the generator unit supplies power to the equipment. Precise angle alignment and rotation are unnecessary during connection; the automatic locking mechanism locks the male connector immediately after insertion, making operation faster and more reliable.

[0021] 2. The quick connector of this generator set features a beveled front end on the mounting box, allowing for smoother insertion into the connecting female connector. Multiple evenly distributed connection channels enable the storage box and control plate to be connected evenly from various directions via multiple connecting plates, resulting in a more stable connection. A guide rod is installed inside the storage box to constrain the first spring and locking block, preventing displacement of the locking block and the first spring in other directions. A constraint rod is installed on one side of the storage box to constrain it and prevent displacement in other directions. The second spring is fitted onto the outside of this constraint rod to prevent bending.

[0022] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these 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.

[0030] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model includes a female connector 1 and a male connector 2. The female connector 1 has a locking groove 4 on its inner side. The male connector 2 is fixedly connected to an installation box 3 on its outer side. The installation box 3 has an adjustment groove 12 and a storage groove 5 that are interconnected. A connecting plate 6 is provided between the adjustment groove 12 and the storage groove 5. An adjustment plate 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 6 in the adjustment groove 12. A storage box 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 6 in the storage groove 5. A locking block 9 is inserted into the storage box 8. The outer side of the locking block 9 is beveled. A first spring 10 is provided between the locking block 9 and the storage box 8. A second spring 11 is provided between one side of the storage box 8 and the inner wall of the storage groove 5. A vertical plate 13 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the installation box 3. A locking plate 14 that can lock the adjustment plate 7 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate 13.

[0032] Example 1: The locking groove 4 adopts a ring structure, and the mounting box 3 also adopts a ring structure. The connecting female head 1 and the connecting male head 2 form the main structure of the quick connector. They are connected to the relevant components of the electrical equipment and the generator car, respectively. After the two are connected, the generator car supplies power to the corresponding electrical equipment. A locking groove 4 is opened in the connecting female head 1. The locking groove 4 can cooperate with the locking block 9 to lock the connecting male head 2. The locking groove 4 adopts a ring structure, which is compatible with the ring structure of the mounting box 3. With the cooperation of the locking block 9, multiple locking positions can be achieved, and the locking effect is better. The front end of the mounting box 3 adopts a bevel, and the control groove 12 and the storage groove 5 both adopt a ring structure. The mounting box 3 provides installation space for components such as the storage box 8, the second spring 11, the connecting plate 6, and the control plate 7. The front end of the mounting box 3 adopts a bevel, which allows it to enter the connecting female head 1 more smoothly. The control groove 12 provides installation and movement space for the control plate 7, and the storage groove 5 provides installation space for the second spring 11 and also provides storage space for the storage box 8.

[0033] Example 2: Several connecting channels are provided between the control groove 12 and the storage groove 5, and these connecting channels are evenly arranged circumferentially within the mounting box 3. These multiple connecting channels provide conditions for the installation of multiple connecting plates 6. The even arrangement of these channels allows the storage box 8 and the control plate 7 to be evenly connected from all directions by multiple connecting plates 6, resulting in a more stable connection. The control plate 7 adopts a ring structure and protrudes from the control groove 12. The ring structure of the control plate 7 facilitates its movement during use. Its protrusion from the control groove 12 further facilitates its movement. Pushing the control plate 7 causes it to move the storage box 8 via the connecting plates 6. As the storage box 8 moves, the second spring 11 is compressed. During this process, the locking block 9 is pressed into the storage box 8 and compresses the first spring 10, thus disengaging the locking block 9 from the locking groove 4.

[0034] Example 3: A guide rod is provided inside the storage box 8, and the first spring 10 and the locking block 9 are both sleeved on the outside of the guide rod. The guide rod inside the storage box 8 can constrain the first spring 10 and the locking block 9, preventing them from displacing in other directions. A constraint rod inserted into the mounting box 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the storage box 8, and the second spring 11 is sleeved on the outside of the constraint rod. The constraint rod on one side of the storage box 8 can constrain the storage box 8, preventing it from displacing in other directions. Sleeving the second spring 11 on the outside of the constraint rod also prevents the second spring 11 from bending.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0036] S1. During connection, hold the male connector 2 and insert it into the female connector 1. During this process, the locking block 9 is pressed into the storage box 8 and squeezes the first spring 10. When the locking block 9 moves to the locking groove 4, the first spring 10 pushes it outward, and the locking block 9 is locked in the locking groove 4, thus locking the male connector 2. The connection between the male connector 2 and the female connector 1 is completed, and the generator provides power to the electrical equipment.

[0037] S2. During disassembly, rotate the retaining plate 14 to disengage it from the control plate 7, then push the control plate 7. The control plate 7, through the connecting plate 6, pushes the storage box 8 to move. As the storage box 8 moves, the second spring 11 is compressed. During this process, the locking block 9 is pressed into the storage box 8 and compresses the first spring 10, thus allowing the locking block 9 to disengage from the locking groove 4. Then, the male connector 2 can be pulled to pull it out of the female connector 1.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0039] 1. The quick connector of this generator unit, through the arrangement of a mounting box 3, locking groove 4, connecting plate 6, control plate 7, locking block 9, first spring 10, second spring 11, upright plate 13, and clamping plate 14, allows for connection by holding the male connector 2 and inserting it into the female connector 1. During this process, the locking block 9 is pressed into the storage box 8, compressing the first spring 10. When the locking block 9 moves to the locking groove 4, the first spring 10 pushes it outward, locking the locking block 9 within the locking groove 4, thus locking the male connector 2. The male connector 2 and the female connector 1 are then connected, and the generator unit supplies power to the electrical equipment. Precise angle alignment and rotation are not required during connection; the automatic locking mechanism locks the male connector immediately after insertion, making the operation faster and more reliable.

[0040] 2. The quick connector of this generator set features a beveled front end on the mounting box 3, allowing for smoother insertion into the connecting female connector 1. Multiple evenly distributed connection channels enable the storage box 8 and the control plate 7 to be connected evenly from all directions via multiple connecting plates 6, resulting in a more stable connection. A guide rod is installed inside the storage box 8 to constrain the first spring 10 and the locking block 9, preventing displacement of the locking block 9 and the first spring 10 in other directions. A constraint rod is installed on one side of the storage box 8 to constrain it and prevent displacement in other directions. The second spring 11 is fitted onto the outside of this constraint rod to prevent bending of the second spring 11.
