Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power connectors, and in particular to a novel XLR connector. Background Technology

[0002] Power connectors are used to connect electrical equipment to power cords or data cables. Traditional XLR connectors are usually in a straight line with the power cord or data cable after connection, which is suitable for most scenarios. However, they cannot be used in confined spaces or in enclosed enclosures, which is an objective shortcoming in reality.

[0003] Many modern electrical devices strive for ultimate integration, aiming to be smaller, lighter, and more portable or transportable, saving space and costs while improving efficiency and user experience. This necessitates a new type of XLR connector that is smaller, more flexible, and more practical. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to scientifically design a new type of XLR connector. The power cable of the tail sleeve of the traditional XLR connector is optimized and improved from a straight line to a right angle, which greatly reduces the overall length of the XLR connector. The traditional fixed tail sleeve is also optimized and improved into a movable tail sleeve, which has flexible angle and direction, and achieves the beneficial effect of being applicable to more scenarios.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a novel XLR connector, including a male shell and a female shell and a pair of movable tail sleeves; the right end of the male shell is inserted into the female shell and fixed by an elastic snap fastener; the pair of movable tail sleeves are respectively fixed by threaded screws to the left end of the male shell and the right end of the female shell, forming a complete XLR connector.

[0006] The male housing is configured as a hollow tube with a thicker left side and a slightly thinner right side forming a stepped outer ring. The button of the elastic snap fastener is movably disposed on the thicker left side of the male housing, and the inclined snap fastener head is movably disposed on the thinner right side of the male housing. An inner core socket is inserted inside the male housing, and a flexible waterproof ring is fitted around the stepped area. A guide rib is fixedly disposed on the thinner right side of the male housing.

[0007] A through buckle hole is provided on the left side of the female shell, corresponding to the beveled head of the elastic snap. The slightly thinner tube on the right side of the male shell is guided into the left side of the female shell by the guide rib. The beveled head of the elastic snap is inserted into the buckle hole to fasten and fix the connection. An inner core plug is inserted into the tube of the female shell.

[0008] The pair of movable tail sleeves consists of two identical pieces, each comprising a threaded sleeve and a tail cap; each threaded sleeve has a set of threads on its outer periphery, forming a pair of arc-shaped hollow steps between the set of threads and the cap of the threaded sleeve; each tail cap has a pair of beveled hooks at its inner end, which are inserted into the pair of arc-shaped hollow steps to connect with the threaded sleeve to form a complete movable tail sleeve; the insertion of the pair of beveled hooks into the pair of arc-shaped hollow steps allows the tail cap to rotate within the threaded sleeve.

[0009] Each of the tail caps has a U-shaped notch on its outer periphery, and a flexible wire clip is inserted into the U-shaped notch.
