Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Electronic connectors, also known as circuit connectors or electrical connectors, are conductor devices that bridge two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other. An electronic connector is an electrical system that provides a separable interface for connecting two electronic systems. Simply put, a connector is a component used to complete the electrical connection between circuits or electronic devices; it is the bridge between them.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN221305156U discloses a conveniently fixed electronic connector, including a connector body. The connector body includes a plug, a socket is provided on one side of the plug, and a protective mating frame is slidably connected to the plug. Limiting mounting buckles are rotatably connected to the two mutually spaced sides of the protective mating frame. Through the design of the protective mating frame, the plug and socket can be quickly aligned when connected. After alignment, the plug is inserted into the socket, and the limiting plate is flipped to engage with the limiting post, limiting the distance between the plug and the protective mating frame. This prevents the protective mating frame from springing back during use. When the plug and socket are separated, the protective mating frame is pushed out by the spring. At this time, the protective mating frame protects the internal wiring harness of the plug, improving the service life of the electronic connector.

[0004] The outer surface of the protective frame of the limiting plate in existing electronic connectors may bend and deform when the outer surface of the protective frame is squeezed, which may damage the fixing structure of the connector and cause problems such as poor contact, signal interruption or even short circuit, seriously threatening the stable operation of the electronic system. Therefore, there is a problem that the fixing structure of electronic connectors is easily damaged. Utility Model Content

[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0020] This invention provides a quick-connect electronic connector. It offers the following advantages:

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a quick-connect electronic connector, including a connector plug 1 and a connector socket 4. The outer surface of the connector socket 4 is rotatably connected to a limiting mechanism 3, and the outer surface of the connector plug 1 is slidably connected to a connecting mechanism 2. The connecting mechanism 2 includes a sliding frame 201 slidably connected to the outer surface of the connector plug 1, and a guide groove 208 is provided on the inner wall of the connector plug 1. The outer surface of the guide groove 208 is slidably connected to a guide plate 207, and the outer surface of the guide plate 207 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connector socket 4.

[0032] Specifically, one end of the guide plate 207 is chamfered, and the outer surface of the guide plate 207 is provided with a limiting groove 209. A snap-fit ​​block 205 is attached to the outer surface of the limiting groove 209. A spring 206 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the snap-fit ​​block 205. The other end of the spring 206 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connector plug 1. A sliding groove 202 is provided on the outer surface of the connector plug 1. A slider 203 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the sliding groove 202. The outer surface of the slider 203 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding frame 201. A connecting rod 204 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the snap-fit ​​block 205. The upper end of the connecting rod 204 passes through the upper surface of the connector plug 1 and is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding frame 201. The outer surface of the connecting rod 204 is slidably connected to the inside of the connector plug 1.

[0033] The initial locking of the snap-fit ​​block 205 and the limiting groove 209 provides basic stability, while the secondary locking of the turntable 301 and the annular groove 302 enhances the resistance to vibration and shock, effectively preventing the connector from accidentally separating. The dual locking mechanism ensures reliable electrical connection in harsh environments, reduces poor contact and signal interruption problems, and extends the service life of the connector.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The limiting mechanism 3 includes a turntable 301 on the upper surface of the rotating connector plug 1, and a limiting block 303 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the turntable 301.

[0036] Specifically, the outer surface of the turntable 301 is fixedly connected to multiple sets of fixed protrusions 304. The fixed protrusions 304 are spaced apart on the outer surface of the turntable 301. The upper surfaces of the connector plug 1 and the connector socket 4 are provided with annular grooves 302. The outer surface of the limiting block 303 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the annular groove 302.

[0037] Furthermore, by automatically cooperating with the chamfer at the front end of the guide plate 207 and the guide groove 208, the blind insertion function is realized, which can complete the docking without precision operation, improves the assembly efficiency, and the asymmetrical guide structure prevents incorrect insertion, protects the pins and sockets from damage, and reduces maintenance costs and equipment downtime risks.

[0038] Working principle: When the connector plug 1 approaches the socket, the chamfer at the front end of the guide plate 207 automatically engages with the guide groove 208, guiding the plug to slide into the socket along a predetermined path. During the mating process, the guide plate 207 pushes the locking block 205 to compress the spring 206 upward. When the plug is fully inserted, the locking block 205 aligns with the limiting groove 209 on the guide plate 207, and the spring 206 rebounds, causing the locking block 205 to embed into the limiting groove 209, forming a mechanical lock. At this point, the connector has achieved electrical connection and possesses basic stability, followed by secondary reinforcement. To prevent detachment, manually rotate the turntable 301 to drive the limiting block 303 to slide along the annular groove 302. When the limiting block 303 is engaged in a specific position in the annular groove 302 on the plug and socket, a secondary lock is formed. The fixed protrusion 304 on the surface of the turntable 301 provides anti-slip friction, ensuring convenient operation and a firm lock. Rotate the turntable 301 in the opposite direction to disengage the limiting block 303 from the annular groove 302. The sliding frame 201 drives the connecting rod 204 to lift the locking block 205, releasing the lock on the guide plate 207. At this time, the plug can be easily unplugged to complete the separation.
