Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of distributed I / O technology, and relates to connection terminals, particularly a connection terminal for a distributed I / O module. Background Technology
[0002] Distributed I / O modules are crucial components of industrial automation and control systems, primarily used for distributed data acquisition and control signal processing. They enable real-time data transmission by connecting various sensors, actuators, and other devices. The connectors, acting as interfaces between these modules and other devices, ensure reliable signal transmission, and their design impacts system installation, maintenance, and scalability. Distributed I / O modules offer advantages such as flexibility, real-time performance, scalability, and fault isolation, enabling them to adapt to dynamic industrial environments and maintain system operation even in fault conditions. Their selection typically depends on application requirements, signal type, communication protocol, and environmental conditions.
[0003] In order to make the connection more stable, some existing distributed I / O connections use threads to tighten the connection between the two when connecting with the IO-LINK connector. However, the nut needs to be turned many times during the tightening process, which makes the connection process cumbersome and time-consuming. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a connection terminal for a distributed I / O module. The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that the nut needs to be rotated multiple times during the tightening process, which makes the connection process cumbersome and time-consuming.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A connection terminal for a distributed I / O module includes a main body. Multiple connection slots are formed on one side of the main body, and a connector is slidably connected to each of the multiple connection slots. Two positioning slots are symmetrically formed inside each of the multiple connection slots, and positioning posts are slidably connected inside each of the two positioning slots. The two positioning posts are fixedly connected to the surface of the connector. A first sliding groove is formed on one side of each of the two positioning slots, and the two first sliding grooves are centrally symmetrically arranged. A fixing groove is formed at the end of each of the two first sliding grooves away from the positioning slots. A second sliding groove is formed on the surface of the multiple connectors near the two first sliding grooves. Two limiting grooves are symmetrically formed inside each of the two second sliding grooves. An adjusting plate is slidably connected inside one of the limiting grooves. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjusting plate near the first sliding groove, and the fixing plate cooperates with the first sliding groove and the fixing groove. A support mechanism is provided at the bottom of each of the two adjusting plates to support the fixing plate. The fixing plate and fixing groove ensure that the connector can be quickly tightened.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the support mechanism includes two limiting rods, both of which are fixedly connected inside the limiting groove. A common slider is slidably fitted onto the surfaces of the two limiting rods. A support column is fixedly connected to the top of the slider. An adjusting plate is fixedly fitted onto the surface of the support column. A first spring is fitted onto the surface of the support column. The top end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting plate, and the bottom end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the top of the slider. A locking column is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting plate. One of the limiting grooves has two locking slots on the side near the locking column, and both locking slots are configured to cooperate with the locking column. The surface of the adjusting plate near the locking column is provided with an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the fixed plate. The first spring provides support for the fixed plate.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting ring, which is slidably sleeved on the surface of the connector. The adjusting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting ring. An extension ring is slidably connected to the bottom of the adjusting ring, and the extension ring is configured to cooperate with the main body. Multiple sliding rods are slidably connected to the top of the extension ring, and the multiple sliding rods are evenly arranged in a ring. The top ends of the multiple sliding rods are fixedly connected to the inside of the adjusting ring. A second spring is sleeved on the surface of each of the multiple sliding rods. The top ends of the multiple second springs are fixedly connected to the inside of the adjusting ring, and the bottom ends of the multiple second springs are fixedly connected to the top of the extension ring. By setting the adjusting ring, the height and position of the fixed plate can be adjusted.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model employs a technical solution of constraining the connector through a fixed plate and a fixed groove, ensuring rapid tightening of the connector. This effectively solves the problem of the nut needing to rotate multiple times during tightening, resulting in a cumbersome and time-consuming connection process. A first spring is installed at the bottom of the fixed plate, so initially the fixed plate is higher than the first groove. When the adjusting ring is pressed, the fixed plate moves downward, making it level with the first groove. Once the fixed plate is level with the first groove, the adjusting ring is rotated, causing it to move the fixed plate. As the adjusting ring continues to rotate, the fixed plate rotates to the side of the fixed groove. Once rotated to the correct position, the constraint on the adjusting ring is released. Because of the first spring at the bottom of the fixed plate, when no external force presses on the adjusting ring, the first spring will cause the fixed plate to reset, allowing it to enter the fixed groove, thus achieving the purpose of constraining the connector.

The surface of the head 2 near the two first slide grooves 103 is provided with a second slide groove 202. The two second slide grooves 202 are symmetrically provided with two limiting grooves 203. An adjusting plate 208 is slidably connected inside one of the limiting grooves 203. A fixing plate 209 is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjusting plate 208 near the first slide groove 103. The fixing plate 209 is configured to cooperate with the first slide groove 103 and the fixing groove 104. The bottom of the two adjusting plates 208 is provided with a support mechanism for supporting the fixing plate 209. The fixing plate 209 and the fixing groove 104 can ensure that the head 2 can be quickly tightened.
[0013] Preferably, the support mechanism includes two limiting rods 204, both of which are fixedly connected inside the limiting groove 203. The same slider 205 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the two limiting rods 204. A support column 206 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 205. An adjusting plate 208 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the support column 206. A first spring 207 is sleeved on the surface of the support column 206. The top end of the first spring 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting plate 208, and the bottom end of the first spring 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 205. The slider 205 allows the fixed plate 209 to move smoothly. A locking column 210 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting plate 208. Two locking grooves 211 are opened inside the limiting groove 203 near the locking column 210, and both locking grooves 211 are configured to cooperate with the locking column 210. The surface of the adjusting plate 208 near the locking column 210 is provided with an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the fixed plate 209. The first spring 207 provides support for the fixed plate 209.
[0014] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment ring 3, which is slidably sleeved on the surface of the connector 2. An adjustment plate 208 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjustment ring 3. An extension ring 301 is slidably connected to the bottom of the adjustment ring 3, and the extension ring 301 is configured to cooperate with the main body 1. Multiple slide rods 302 are slidably connected to the top of the extension ring 301, and the multiple slide rods 302 are evenly arranged in a ring. The top ends of the multiple slide rods 302 are fixedly connected to the inside of the adjustment ring 3. A second spring 303 is sleeved on the surface of the multiple slide rods 302. The top ends of the multiple second springs 303 are fixedly connected to the inside of the adjustment ring 3, and the bottom ends of the multiple second springs 303 are fixedly connected to the top of the extension ring 301. By setting the adjustment ring 3, the height and position of the fixed plate 209 can be adjusted.
[0015] Working principle: During use, the connector 2 is inserted into the connecting groove 101. Two symmetrical positioning grooves 102 are formed inside the connecting groove 101, and these two positioning grooves 102 cooperate with the positioning posts 201 on the surface of the connector 2, ensuring smooth docking of the end components. After the connector 2 is fully inserted into the connecting groove 101, the adjusting ring 3 on the surface of the connector 2 is pressed. Two adjusting plates 208 are installed inside the adjusting ring 3, and a fixing plate 209 is installed on one side of each adjusting plate 208. A first sliding groove 103 and a fixing groove 104 are formed on one side of the positioning groove 102, and the first sliding groove 103 and the fixing groove 104 cooperate with the fixing plate 209. Because a first spring 207 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 209, Initially, the fixed plate 209 is higher than the first slide groove 103. When the adjusting ring 3 is pressed, the fixed plate 209 can be moved down to be level with the first slide groove 103. After the fixed plate 209 is level with the first slide groove 103, the adjusting ring 3 is rotated, which moves the fixed plate 209. As the adjusting ring 3 continues to rotate, the fixed plate 209 will rotate to one side of the fixed groove 104. After rotating to the correct position, the constraint on the adjusting ring 3 can be released. Because a first spring 207 is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate 209, when there is no external force pressing the adjusting ring 3, the first spring 207 will drive the fixed plate 209 to reset, so that it enters the fixed groove 104, thereby achieving the purpose of constraining the connector 2.
