Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector accessories technology, and in particular to a quick-release connector housing. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are devices used to transmit electrical signals, typically connecting two electronic devices. Connectors generally consist of a plug and a socket, which are usually directly inserted for quick assembly. The plug typically includes a housing, and the socket typically includes a body housing. To improve connector stability, the housing and body housing are usually secured together with screws to prevent the plug from detaching or loosening.

[0003] While this connection method between the insert and the housing can meet the stability requirements of the connector, for connectors that need to be frequently assembled and disassembled, the screw connection method is very inconvenient to operate during assembly or disassembly, which degrades the user experience of the connector.

[0004] Therefore, the connector housing in the prior art has the technical problem of inconvenient assembly and disassembly operations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a quick-release connector housing, which solves the technical problem of inconvenient assembly and disassembly of connector housings in the prior art.

[0006] Some implementation schemes for solving the above-mentioned technical problems include: A quick-release connector housing, including a base housing; A housing, which is inserted into the base housing; And a quick-release assembly, which locks the insert housing to the base housing; The quick-release assembly includes an elastic plate disposed on the housing, the elastic plate being provided with a locking ridge, the insert housing being provided with a locking groove that mates with the locking ridge, and the elastic plate using elastic force to move the locking ridge away from the locking groove; The quick-release assembly also includes a slip ring slidably connected to the housing, the slip ring overcoming the elastic force of the elastic plate to make the locking ridge engage with the locking groove; The quick-release assembly also includes a spring piece disposed on the elastic plate, and the slip ring is provided with a groove that mates with the spring piece. The spring piece locks the position of the slip ring relative to the housing by mates with the groove. The quick-release assembly also includes an unlocking handle that pushes the spring to disengage it from the groove.

[0007] Preferably, the elastic plate is arranged along the width direction of the housing, and there are two elastic plates, which are respectively located on both sides of the housing. The insert is provided with two locking grooves, and the locking ridge of each elastic plate cooperates with an independent locking groove.

[0008] Preferably, each of the elastic plates is provided with an independent spring piece, and the slip ring is provided with two grooves, each groove cooperating with an independent spring piece.

[0009] Preferably, the spring sheet and the elastic plate are an integral structure, the elastic plate and the base housing are an integral structure, or the elastic plate is welded to the base housing, or the elastic plate is detachably connected to the base housing.

[0010] Preferably, the unlocking handle is slidably connected to the slip ring, and the unlocking handle is located between the slip ring and the housing. The slip ring and the unlocking handle cooperate to position the elastic plate so that the locking ridge engages with the locking groove.

[0011] Preferably, the unlocking handle is cylindrical, and an elastic element is provided between the slip ring and the unlocking handle to push the unlocking handle so that the unlocking handle is misaligned with the spring piece.

[0012] Preferably, the slip ring is further provided with a guide post for guiding the unlocking handle, the unlocking handle is provided with a guide hole that cooperates with the guide post, and the end of the guide post away from the slip ring is provided with a limiting head to prevent the guide post from disengaging from the guide hole.

[0013] Preferably, the elastic element is a spring, which is sleeved on the guide post, with one end of the spring in contact with the slip ring and the other end of the spring in contact with the unlocking handle.

[0014] Preferably, the slip ring is provided with a first handle for easy operation of the slip ring, and the first handle and the slip ring are an integral structure.

[0015] Preferably, the unlocking handle is provided with a second handle for easy operation, and the second handle and the unlocking handle are an integral structure.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: Through the design of the quick-release components, especially the cooperation between the slip ring and the elastic plate, users can simply push the slip ring to quickly engage the locking ridge and the locking groove, achieving a secure connection between the insert shell and the base shell. Compared to the traditional screw fixing method, this design greatly shortens the assembly time. The design of the unlocking handle makes the disassembly process equally simple. Users only need to push the unlocking handle to disengage the spring from the groove, thereby releasing the slip ring. The slip ring then slides relative to the base shell, separating the locking ridge from the locking groove, thus achieving quick disassembly of the insert shell and the base shell.

[0017] The locking ridge and locking groove in the quick-release assembly are used to lock the housing and insert housing, and the spring and groove are used to lock the position of the slip ring relative to the housing. Together, they form a double locking mechanism, which ensures that the relative position of the slip ring does not change after the locking ridge and locking groove are engaged, thus improving the stability of the connector.

[0018] The elastic plate uses its elastic force to keep the locking ridge away from the locking groove. When the slip ring overcomes this elastic force, the locking ridge and locking groove fit tightly together, forming a stable connection. This design allows the connector to maintain its connection under external force and prevents it from easily disengaging. When the slip ring and elastic plate are misaligned, the elastic plate's elastic force causes the locking groove to disengage, allowing the housing and insert shell to be easily separated. The quick-release connector shell design allows users to easily complete the assembly and disassembly without tools, greatly improving ease of use. Because the assembly and disassembly process is simple and requires no special tools, the maintenance cost of the connector is reduced. At the same time, the durable design of the quick-release assembly also extends the connector's lifespan. Attached Figure Description

However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of this invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.

[0031] Understandably, in this document, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and are not intended to expressly or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0032] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a quick-release connector housing includes a base housing 1; Insert shell 2, which is inserted into the base shell 1; And quick-release assembly 3, which locks the insert 2 into the base 1; The quick-release assembly 3 includes an elastic plate 11 disposed on the housing 1. The elastic plate 11 is provided with a locking ridge 111. The insert housing 2 is provided with a locking groove 21 that cooperates with the locking ridge 111. The elastic plate 11 uses elastic force to move the locking ridge 111 away from the locking groove 21. The quick-release assembly 3 also includes a slip ring 31 slidably connected to the housing 1. The slip ring 31 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic plate 11 so that the locking ridge 111 engages with the locking groove 21. The quick-release assembly 3 also includes a spring piece 112 disposed on the elastic plate 11, and the slip ring 31 is provided with a groove 311 that cooperates with the spring piece 112. The spring piece 112 locks the position of the slip ring 31 relative to the housing 1 by cooperating with the groove 311. The quick-release assembly 3 also includes an unlocking handle 32 that pushes the spring 112 to disengage the spring 112 from the groove 311.

[0034] Specifically, during the assembly process of insert shell 2 and seat shell 1, insert shell 2 is first inserted into seat shell 1. Then, slide slip ring 31 to make slip ring 31 interfere with elastic plate 11 and overcome the elastic force of elastic plate 11 so that locking rib 111 and locking groove 21 are engaged. At this time, the relative position of seat shell 1 and insert shell 2 is locked.

[0035] After the slip ring 31 is displaced to the correct position, the spring piece 112 engages with the groove 311 of the slip ring 31, using the elasticity and the groove 311 to lock the position of the slip ring 31 relative to the seat housing 1, thereby achieving the locking of the seat housing 1 and the insert housing 2.

[0036] When it is necessary to disassemble the base shell 1 and the insert shell 2, move the unlocking handle 32 to push the spring piece 112 to deform, that is, the spring piece 112 disengages from the groove 311. At this time, the slip ring 31 can be displaced relative to the base shell 1. Slide the slip ring 31 to make the slip ring 31 and the elastic plate 11 misalign. Under the elastic force of the elastic plate 11, the locking ridge 111 disengages from the locking groove 21, and the base shell 1 and the insert shell 2 can be disassembled normally.

[0037] No tools are needed during the assembly or disassembly of the housing 1 and the insert housing 2, thus optimizing the performance of the connector.
