[0029] 1. Measurement module body; 11. DB9 female connector; 12. DB9 male connector; 13. Snap-fit ​​groove; 131. Locking post; 2. Locking piece; 21. Hook-shaped part; 22. Actuating plate; 221. Angled surface. Detailed Implementation

[0030] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-locking fastening structure for a measuring module that can be quickly locked, comprising:

[0033] The measuring module body 1 has a DB9 female connector 11 at one end and a DB9 male connector 12 at the other end. The measuring module body 1 has a fastening groove 13 at one end and a locking pin 131 inside the fastening groove 13.

[0034] The locking piece 2 is rotatably mounted on the measuring module body 1. The locking piece 2 is located at the other end of the measuring module body 1 opposite to the locking groove 13. The inner side of the locking piece 2 is provided with an inward hook-shaped part 21, and the end of the locking piece 2 is provided with a toggle plate 22.

[0035] In this process, after the DB9 female connector 11 of one measurement module body 1 is inserted into the DB9 male connector 12 of another adjacent measurement module body 1, the locking piece 2 of one measurement module body 1 is fastened in the locking groove 13 of the other adjacent measurement module body 1, the hook-shaped part 21 hooks the locking post 131, and the actuating plate 22 extends to the surface of the other measurement module body 1.

[0036] In addition to the existing DB9 male and female connectors, a mechanical locking structure has been added between modules, greatly increasing the reliability of the connection and ensuring reliable connections even in harsh industrial environments. The self-locking structure effectively prevents the measuring modules from falling off or making poor contact due to vibration during industrial use or transportation, guaranteeing reliable operation of the measuring equipment and preventing signal communication interruptions. Furthermore, quick locking and disassembly can be achieved without additional tools, facilitating operation by field personnel.

[0037] The snap-fit ​​groove 13 corresponds to the DB9 female connector 11, which effectively prevents the DB9 female connector 11 and DB9 male connector 12 from becoming loose and avoids poor contact.

[0038] The locking post 131 is cylindrical, which facilitates the engagement of the hook-shaped part 21 of the locking piece 2 with the locking post 131.

[0039] The measuring module body 1 has symmetrically arranged locking pieces 2 on both sides. Correspondingly, the locking pieces 2 engage with the locking posts 131 in the fastening grooves 13 on both sides of the measuring module body 1, effectively ensuring the locking effect.

[0040] Working principle: The connection between independent measuring modules, in addition to the DB9 female connector 11 and DB9 male connector 12, involves two locking tabs 2 added to the mechanical housing. The locking tabs 2 are rotatably mounted and engage with the locking post 131 within the locking groove 13 via a hook-like structure inside the head. To lock, a slight press on the locking tab 2 will engage it. Furthermore, this structure requires no external tooling; it can be opened manually by pushing outwards with the toggle plate 22, enabling quick assembly and disassembly between modules and facilitating operation.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: the locking piece 2 is a plastic piece.

[0043] The latching piece 2 can be made of plastic material with elastic deformation capability to facilitate the latching piece 2 to be fastened and unlocked.

[0044] The locking piece 2 can also be made of stainless steel with elastic deformation capability.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: the end of the toggle plate 22 is provided with an inclined surface 221, which faces the surface of the measuring module body 1.

[0047] This creates a gap between the end of the toggle plate 22 and the surface of the measuring module body 1, making it easier to push the latch plate 2 outward to unlock.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
