Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ribbon cable connector technology, and more specifically, to a ribbon cable connector structure that is resistant to loosening. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are a general term for all connecting components and accessories used in electronic signals and power supplies. Connectors are the bridge between all signals, and their quality not only affects the reliability of current and signal transmission, but also the operating quality of the entire electronic machine. In terms of computer connectors, ribbon cable connectors are usually used to fix the electrical connection end of the motherboard and insert the electrical connection end of the ribbon cable into the ribbon cable connector to achieve the electrical connection between the ribbon cable and the motherboard.

[0003] In actual use, during the repeated disassembly and assembly of the ribbon cable and its connector, the clips on the ribbon cable and connector may wear down due to repeated squeezing and friction, which may cause the connection between the ribbon cable and its connector to loosen and affect the stability of the connection. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an anti-loosening ribbon cable connector structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A non-loosening ribbon cable connector structure includes a connector base with multiple terminals on its upper surface. A pressure plate is snapped into the inner side of the connector base, and a ribbon cable is installed on one side of the pressure plate. A positioning plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate, and two pull plates are fixedly connected to the outer side of the positioning plate. A groove is formed on the lower surface of the pull plates. A limiting mechanism is provided on the outer side of the connector base. The limiting mechanism includes a positioning frame, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connector base. Multiple protrusions are fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning frame, and a slot is formed on the bottom side of each protrusion. Multiple springs are fixedly connected to the inner side of the pressure plate, and a push rod is fixedly connected to one end of each spring. The outer side of the push rod is slidably connected to the inner side of the pressure plate. A fixing seat is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two pressure plates, and a positioning post is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing seat. One side of the positioning post is snapped into the inner side of the slot. An installation mechanism is provided on the inner side of the connector base.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple springs on the inner side of multiple pressure plates push the push rod, fixed seat and positioning column to perform multi-point locking of the slots on the bottom side of multiple convex corners, so that the ribbon cable can remain stable after connection with the terminal, reducing the risk of the ribbon cable and terminal becoming loose.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the installation mechanism includes two guide columns, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressure plate. The two guide columns are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the positioning plate. An inclined surface is opened at the bottom of the guide column. Multiple pads are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressure plate. Multiple slots are opened on the inner side of the connecting seat. The inner side of the slot is engaged with the outer side of the pad. Two positioning grooves are opened on the inner side of the connecting seat. The inner side of the positioning groove is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide column.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution: using the inclined surfaces at the bottom of the two guide pillars to guide the positioning groove and guide the pressure plate to move vertically up and down inside the connector, the ribbon cable can provide consistent and uniform contact pressure to the terminals, maintaining a stable connection between the ribbon cable and multiple terminals inside the connector.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] By setting a limiting mechanism, compared with the existing technology, the multi-point limiting of multiple convex corners and positioning posts, and the elastic support positioning of positioning posts and slots reduce the situation of unstable limiting due to wear, facilitate the quick locking of the connected ribbon cable, make the ribbon cable installation convenient, and improve the connection stability and vibration resistance.

[0012] By setting up an installation mechanism, compared with existing technologies, the guide post with an inclined surface can guide the pressure plate and the connector, allowing the ribbon cable to move vertically up and down, keeping it firmly attached to the terminal, providing uniform contact pressure, and increasing the contact stability and reliability of the ribbon cable and the connector.

[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] The embodiments disclosed in this application are as follows: Figure 1-6 The illustrated anti-loosening ribbon cable connector structure includes a connector base 1, with multiple terminals 2 on the upper surface of the connector base 1. A pressure plate 6 is snapped into the inner side of the connector base 1, and a ribbon cable 7 is installed on one side of the pressure plate 6. A positioning plate 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate 6, and two pull plates 18 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the positioning plate 13. A groove 19 is formed on the lower surface of the pull plates 18. A limiting mechanism is provided on the outer side of the connector base 1. The limiting mechanism includes a positioning frame 3, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connector base 1. Multiple protrusions 4 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning frame 3, and a slot 5 is formed on the bottom side of the protrusions 4. The pressure plate 6 is... Multiple springs 8 are fixedly connected to the side, and a push rod 9 is fixedly connected to one end of each spring 8. The outer side of the push rod 9 is slidably connected to the inner side of the pressure plate 6. A fixed seat 10 is fixedly connected to one end of each pressure plate 6. A positioning post 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed seat 10. One side of the positioning post 11 is engaged with the inner side of the slot 5. An installation mechanism is provided inside the connecting seat 1. The multiple springs 8 inside the pressure plate 6 push the push rod 9 to drive the fixed seat 10 and the positioning post 11 to engage with the slot 5 at the bottom of the multiple protruding corners 4, so that the pressure plate 6 and the connecting seat 1 can be quickly assembled and limited, maintaining the connection stability of the ribbon cable 7 and the terminal 2.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the installation mechanism includes two guide posts 14. One side of the guide post 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressure plate 6. The two guide posts 14 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the positioning plate 13. An inclined surface 15 is provided at the bottom of the guide post 14. Multiple pads 12 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressure plate 6. Multiple slots 16 are provided on the inner side of the connecting seat 1. The inner side of the slots 16 engages with the outer side of the pads 12. Two positioning grooves 17 are provided on the inner side of the connecting seat 1. The inner side of the positioning grooves 17 is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide post 14. The two guide posts 14 and the inclined surface 15 guide the inner side of the two positioning grooves 17 and move them vertically up and down, so that the ribbon cable 7 can apply pressure to the terminal 2. The multiple pads 12 and the slots 16 provide multi-point limiting to maintain the connection stability of the pressure plate 6, the ribbon cable 7 and the connecting seat 1. The grooves 19 at the bottom of the two pull plates 18 make it easy for the operator to remove the pressure plate 6 from the inside of the connecting seat 1 by pressing the grooves 19.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When installing and connecting the ribbon cable, the operator holds two pull plates 18 and positioning plate 13 to drive the pressure plate 6 and ribbon cable 7 to engage with the inside of the connector 1. The two guide posts 14 on the outside of the positioning plate 13 approach the two positioning grooves 17 on the inside of the connector 1. Simultaneously, the inclined surfaces 15 at the bottom of the two guide posts 14 guide the tops of the positioning grooves 17, allowing the two guide posts 14 to assist the pressure plate 6 and positioning plate 13 in being smoothly and vertically inserted into the connector 1 and the inside of the two positioning grooves 17. After the ribbon cable 7 at the bottom of the pressure plate 6 is close to the multiple terminals 2 on the upper surface of the connector 1, the multiple pads 12 at the bottom of the pressure plate 6 engage with the multiple slots 16 on the inside of the connector 1 at multiple points. At the same time, the multiple fixing seats 10 and positioning posts 11 on the outside of the pressure plate 6 position the frame. The multiple protruding corners 4 on the inner side of the pressure plate 6 are squeezed, causing multiple positioning pins 11 to be inserted from the upper side of the protruding corner 4 into the slot 5 on the bottom side of the protruding corner 4. The multiple springs 8 on the inner side of the pressure plate 6 push the push rod 9 to drive the fixing seat 10 and the positioning pins 11 to come closer to the slot 5 at the bottom of the protruding corner 4. This allows the pressure plate 6 to be positioned at multiple points on the inner side of the positioning frame 3, so that the pressure plate 6 can maintain a stable connection between the ribbon cable 7 and the terminal 2. When separating the pressure plate 6 and the connecting seat 1, the operator pulls the two pull plates 18 and the groove 19 upwards, so that the multiple positioning pins 11 and the fixing seat 10 on the outer side of the pressure plate 6 are squeezed by the protruding corners 4. This causes the positioning pins 11 to push the fixing seat 10 and the push rod 9 into the inner side of the pressure plate 6, making it easier to pull the pressure plate 6 and the ribbon cable 7 out of the inner side of the connecting seat 1 for separation.
