Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control actuator equipment technology, and specifically to a control actuator with an improved interface. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industrial automation, robotics, and smart homes, the stability and reliability of control actuators, as core drive and control units, directly affect the overall performance of the system.

[0003] Currently, the electrical connection of control actuators typically adopts a plug-in structure, that is, a detachable electrical connection is made to the plug of an external device through a connection socket on one side of the housing. The socket is usually directly fixed to the side wall or end face of the control actuator housing, and its opening direction is parallel to or at a certain angle to the surface of the housing. This causes the mating surface of the connector and the socket to be exposed to the external environment. Due to accidental collisions or human pulling of the connecting wire, the connector is easily subjected to lateral external forces, causing the contact point between the connector and the socket to shift, which in turn leads to loosening, poor contact, or even dislodgement. Therefore, we propose a control actuator with an improved socket to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution: An improved control actuator for a socket includes: The actuator housing has a rectangular channel on one side, and support seats are fixed on both sides of the actuator housing near the rectangular channel. The actuator housing has wire-passing notches at equal intervals on the upper side of the side near the rectangular channel. A baffle is rotatably connected between two support seats via a rotating shaft, and the baffle is adapted to the size of the rectangular channel; The connector assembly includes guide rods fixed at intervals between the support base and the inner side wall of the actuator housing. A mounting plate is slidably disposed on the surface of the guide rod. A spring is sleeved on the side of the guide rod near the support block. A drive module is fixed at equal intervals on one side of the mounting plate. A connection socket is disposed in the middle of the outer side of the drive module. The connection socket corresponds to the position of the wire threading notch.

[0005] Furthermore, tension springs are connected to both sides of the top of the mounting plate, and the other end of the tension springs is connected to the inner sidewall of the baffle.

[0006] Furthermore, dovetail sliders are fixed at both ends on the side of the baffle away from the support base, and dovetail grooves adapted to the dovetail sliders are constructed on both sides of the outer wall of the actuator housing.

[0007] Furthermore, rubber protrusions are fixed at the four corners of the front of the drive module.

[0008] Furthermore, a ventilation grille is provided in the middle of the baffle.

[0009] Furthermore, a lifting plate is fixedly provided in the middle of the side of the baffle away from the support seat.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a fixing plate, which is L-shaped and has strip-shaped holes on its bottom side.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model effectively resists lateral external force interference through the double limiting of spring clamping and wire threading notch, preventing the connector from loosening or coming out. Through structural innovation and the combination of elastic mechanics, this device solves the problems of easy loosening and poor impact resistance of traditional plugs. It is highly practical and worthy of widespread application and promotion. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] This application provides an improved control actuator with an improved connector, mainly to address the problem that in existing technologies, connectors are typically directly fixed to the side wall or end face of the control actuator housing, with their opening direction parallel to or at a certain angle to the housing surface. This exposes the mating surface of the connector and the connector to the external environment. Due to accidental collisions or human pulling of the connecting cable, the connector is easily subjected to lateral external forces, causing displacement of the contact point between it and the connector, leading to loosening, poor contact, or even dislodgement. The application provides the following technical solution, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 Please provide a detailed explanation: An improved control actuator for a socket includes: The actuator housing 1 has a rectangular channel 102 on one side. Support seats 2 are fixed on both sides of the actuator housing 1 near the rectangular channel 102. Wire-passing notches 101 are equally spaced above the side of the actuator housing 1 near the rectangular channel 102. The baffle 3 is rotatably connected between the two support seats 2 via a rotating shaft, and the size of the baffle 3 is adapted to the rectangular channel 102; The connector assembly 4 includes a guide rod 401 fixedly spaced between the support base 2 and the inner wall of the actuator housing 1. A mounting plate 402 is slidably mounted on the surface of the guide rod 401. A spring 403 is sleeved on the side of the guide rod 401 near the support block. A drive module 404 is fixedly mounted at equal intervals on one side of the mounting plate 402. A connection socket 4041 is provided in the middle of the outer side of the drive module 404. The connection socket 4041 corresponds to the position of the wire notch 101. Tension springs 5 ​​are connected to the top two sides of the mounting plate 402. The other end of the tension spring 5 is connected to the inner wall of the baffle 3.

[0016] Workflow Description In use, the baffle 3 can be flipped outward to expose the rectangular channel 102. During the flipping of the baffle 3, the tension spring 5 pulls the mounting plate 402, compressing the spring 403 on the guide rod 401, causing the drive module 404 and the connection socket 4041 to move inward to the rectangular channel 102, making room for the plug to be inserted. The connection plug of the external device is inserted into the actuator housing 1 along the rectangular channel 102 and aligned with the connection socket 4041. After the baffle 3 is released, the spring 403 returns to its original position, pushing the drive module 404 to move towards the inner wall of the actuator housing 1, fixing the plug position. Since the connecting wire is passed through the wire pass-through notch 101, the limiting effect of the wire pass-through notch 101 is used to prevent the plug from being pulled out laterally.

[0017] The improved control actuator for the socket effectively resists lateral external force interference through the double limit of spring 403 clamping and wire notch 101, preventing the connector from loosening or coming off. This device solves the problems of traditional sockets being easy to loosen and having poor impact resistance by combining structural innovation with elastic mechanics.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, dovetail sliders 301 are fixed at both ends on the side of the baffle 3 away from the support base 2, and dovetail grooves 103 adapted to the dovetail sliders 301 are constructed on both sides of the outer wall of the actuator housing 1. More specifically, when the baffle 3 rotates around the pivot, the dovetail sliders 301 are embedded in the dovetail grooves 103 to form a self-locking mechanism, which can effectively fix the baffle 3.

[0019] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, rubber protrusions 405 are fixed at the four corners of the front of the drive module 404. More specifically, the rubber material has a high elastic modulus. When the drive module 404 moves inward (such as during the reset process of the spring 403), the rubber protrusions 405 can undergo elastic deformation to absorb part of the impact force and avoid damage to the connector plug caused by rigid contact. At the same time, the rubber protrusions 405 limit the proximity of the drive module 404 to prevent it from directly pressing the pins or circuit board of the plug. This is especially suitable for pin-dense connectors (such as HDMI, USB, etc.) to avoid bending or breaking the pins due to excessive compression.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a ventilation grille 302 is provided in the middle of the baffle 3. More specifically, the drive module 404, circuit board, and connection port 4041 inside the control actuator generate heat during operation, which may cause the temperature inside the box to rise, especially during high-power operation. The ventilation grille 302 forms an air circulation channel, using natural convection or external airflow (such as the device's built-in fan) to accelerate heat dissipation and prevent components from degrading or being damaged due to overheating.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a lifting plate 303 is fixed in the middle of the side of the baffle 3 away from the support base 2. More specifically, the operator pulls the lifting plate 303 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the baffle 3. The lifting plate 303 converts the pulling force into torque around the rotating shaft, causing the baffle 3 to flip. The lifting plate 303 makes it convenient for the operator to flip the baffle 3.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixing plate 6 is also included. The fixing plate 6 is L-shaped and has a strip hole on its bottom side. More specifically, the vertical side and the horizontal side of the L-shaped fixing plate 6 correspond to the two sides of the actuator housing 1, respectively. The vertical side is fixed to the equipment bracket or mounting surface, while the horizontal side clamps the housing from the side, forming a "corner wrapping" fixation to prevent the housing from shifting. The actuator housing 1 is vertically fixed to the horizontal side of the L-shaped fixing plate 6 by passing screws through the strip hole. The strip hole allows the screws to slide within a certain range, avoiding excessive force on the screws due to thermal expansion and contraction of the housing or tolerance accumulation.

[0023] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
