Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connector technology, specifically a quick-connect electrical connector. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connectors, as key components widely used in electrical and electronic systems, are primarily used to achieve quick and reliable connection and disconnection between wires, cables, or devices. They play a central role in consumer electronics, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, and communication equipment, ensuring the efficient and stable transmission of electrical signals or power. Electrical connectors typically consist of a socket and a plug, which mechanically mesh to form an electrical path. Their design must balance ease of use, durability, and safety to withstand frequent mating and unplugging under varying environmental conditions. With technological advancements, electrical connectors are continuously evolving towards miniaturization, high density, and intelligence to meet the demands of modern equipment for efficient connections and compact space.

[0003] Although electrical connectors are widely used in the technology field, existing designs still have significant shortcomings. On the one hand, connection stability is a prominent issue: many electrical connectors are prone to loosening or falling off during insertion and removal, especially in environments with vibration, shock, or temperature changes, leading to unreliable electrical connections, signal interruptions, or poor contact, which in turn affects the overall performance and lifespan of the equipment. To address this, we propose a quick-connect electrical connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a quick-connect electrical connector that can maintain the stability of the connection and facilitate quick insertion and removal, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a quick-connect electrical connector, including a socket and a snap-fit ​​assembly; Socket: The front end of the socket is plugged in, and the surface of the plug is equipped with a connecting component and a disassembly component, which are connected to each other; The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a connecting plate, a locking strip, and locking holes. Two corresponding connecting plates are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the plug surface. A sliding opening is provided on the front side of the connecting plate, and a locking strip is slidably connected inside the sliding opening. Both locking strips are fixed to the surface of the socket. Locking holes are provided on the front side of the locking strip. The connecting assembly is connected to the two locking holes. By setting the snap-fit ​​assembly, the stability of the socket and plug connection can be effectively improved.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a fixing plate, locking pins, limiting rings, springs, and rubber pillars. Two corresponding fixing plates are fixed to the front side of the connecting plate. A sliding hole is opened in the middle of the fixing plate, and locking pins are slidably connected inside the sliding hole. The adjacent ends of the two locking pins are engaged with the left and right ends inside their corresponding locking holes. Limiting rings are fixed on the circumferential surface of the locking pins, and the two limiting rings are respectively abutted against the left and right sides of the two locking strips. A spring is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the locking pins. One end of the spring is fixed to the end face of its corresponding limiting ring, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the side of its corresponding fixing plate. A rubber pillar is fixed to the end of the locking pin away from the locking hole. The two locking strips are fixed by setting up the connecting assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the disassembly assembly includes a connecting block, a support plate, a connecting post, and a connecting bracket. The connecting block is fixed to the end face of the rubber post, and two corresponding support plates are fixed to the left and right ends of the plug surface. Two corresponding connecting brackets are provided on the front side of the support plate. Each connecting bracket has a rotating hole on its edge, and a connecting post is rotatably connected inside the two rotating holes. The connecting post is fixed to the side of its corresponding support plate, and the end of the connecting bracket away from the connecting post is connected to its corresponding connecting block. By setting up the disassembly assembly, the user can press the connection points of the four connecting brackets during use to move the four connecting brackets and drive the four locking posts away from the two locking holes, and then the plug can be quickly pulled out.

[0008] Furthermore, two corresponding rubber sleeves are provided on the left and right ends of the plug surface. The rubber sleeves have evenly distributed anti-slip grooves on their sides. The rubber sleeves are adjacent to the two corresponding connecting brackets. By providing two rubber sleeves, it is convenient for users to press the two connecting points of the four connecting brackets.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixed to the rear end of the plug, and an annular groove is provided on the front end of the socket surface. The sealing ring is engaged inside the annular groove, thereby sealing the connection between the plug and the socket.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This quick-connect electrical connector has the following advantages: 1. The plug and socket are pre-positioned by the precise guidance of the locking strip along the sliding groove of the connecting plate. The spring-driven locking post automatically engages with the locking hole to form a rigid constraint. The tight fit between the limiting ring and the locking strip creates a two-way locking structure, which can effectively resist high-intensity vibration and impact loads. The continuous elastic pressure of the spring provides a self-compensation function. When the ambient temperature changes cause slight deformation of the material, it automatically maintains a constant contact force, completely solving the problem of loosening and failure of traditional connectors under dynamic working conditions. 2. By setting up a disassembly component, the user only needs to press the anti-slip rubber sleeve with one finger during disassembly. The connecting bracket will use the connecting column as a fulcrum to drive the connecting block to pull all the locking columns out of the locking holes, and then the plug can be quickly pulled out.

[0013] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a quick-connect electrical connector, including a socket 1 and a snap-fit ​​assembly 3; Socket 1: A plug 2 is inserted into the front end of the socket. A connecting component 4 and a disassembly component 5 are installed on the surface of the plug 2. The connecting component 4 and the disassembly component 5 are connected. The connecting component 4 includes a fixing plate 41, a locking post 42, a limiting ring 43, a spring 44, and a rubber post 45. Two corresponding fixing plates 41 are fixed to the front side of the connecting plate 31. A sliding hole is opened in the middle of the fixing plate 41. The locking post 42 is slidably connected inside the sliding hole. The adjacent ends of the two locking posts 42 are engaged with the left and right ends inside the corresponding locking holes 33. A limiting ring 43 is fixed on the circumferential surface of the locking post 42. The two limiting rings 43 are respectively attached to the left and right sides of the two locking strips 32. A spring 44 is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the locking post 42. One end of the spring 44 is fixed to the end face of the corresponding limiting ring 43, and the other end of the spring 44 is fixed to the side of the corresponding fixing plate 41. The locking post 42 is away from the locking hole 3. One end of the plug 2 is fixed with a rubber post 45. The disassembly assembly 5 includes a connecting block 51, a support plate 52, a connecting post 53, and a connecting bracket 54. The connecting block 51 is fixed on the end face of the rubber post 45. Two corresponding support plates 52 are fixed on the left and right ends of the plug 2 surface. Two corresponding connecting brackets 54 are provided on the front side of the support plate 52. The two connecting brackets 54 are provided with rotating holes on their sides. The connecting post 53 is rotatably connected inside the two rotating holes. The connecting post 53 is fixed on the side of the support plate 42 corresponding to it. The end of the connecting bracket 54 away from the connecting post 53 is connected to the corresponding connecting block 51. By setting the disassembly assembly 5, the user can press the connection of the four connecting brackets 54 during use to move the four connecting brackets 54 and drive the four locking posts 42 away from the two locking holes 33. Then the plug 2 can be quickly pulled out. The two locking strips 32 are fixed by setting the connecting assembly 4. The snap-fit ​​assembly 3 includes a connecting plate 31, a locking strip 32, and a locking hole 33. Two corresponding connecting plates 31 are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the surface of the plug 2. A sliding opening is provided on the front side of the connecting plate 31, and a locking strip 32 is slidably connected inside the sliding opening. Both locking strips 32 are fixed to the surface of the socket 1. A locking hole 33 is provided on the front side of the locking strip 32. The connecting assembly 4 is connected to the two locking holes 33. By setting the snap-fit ​​assembly 3, the stability of the connection between the socket 1 and the plug 2 can be effectively improved.

[0015] Wherein: Two corresponding rubber sleeves 6 are provided on the left and right ends of the surface of the plug 2. The rubber sleeves 6 have evenly distributed anti-slip grooves on their sides. The rubber sleeves 6 are adjacent to the two corresponding connecting brackets 54. By providing two rubber sleeves 6, it is convenient for users to press the two connection points of the four connecting brackets 54.

[0016] Wherein: the rear end of the plug 2 is fixed with a sealing ring 7, and the front end of the surface of the socket 1 is provided with an annular groove. The sealing ring 7 is snapped into the inside of the annular groove, and the connection between the plug 2 and the socket 1 is sealed by setting the sealing ring 7.

[0017] The working principle of the quick-connect electrical connector provided by this utility model is as follows: When the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 1, the two locking strips 32 fixed on the surface of the socket 1 will slide along the sliding opening on the front side of the connecting plate 31 to guide the plug 2 to be accurately positioned. When the plug 2 is fully inserted, the locking hole 33 on the front side of the locking strip 32 is exactly aligned with the locking post 42. The spring 44 then releases its elastic force, pushing the locking post 42 to quickly lock into the corresponding locking hole 33. At the same time, the limiting ring 43 tightly fits against the side of the locking strip 32 to form a mechanical lock. This action is completed by the coordinated action of the upper and lower symmetrical locking components 3 and connecting components 4, ensuring that the plug 2 and the socket 1 maintain a stable connection and seal even under vibration or impact. Ring 7 is synchronously inserted into the annular groove at the front end of socket 1 to achieve a dustproof and waterproof seal at the connection interface. When disassembly is required, the user presses the connection point of the connecting bracket 54 near the rubber sleeves 6 on both sides of plug 2. The connecting bracket 54 rotates around the connecting post 53 as the fulcrum, and pulls the connecting block 51 hinged to it through the lever action. The connecting block 51 drives the rubber post 45 and the locking post 42 to move outward against the elastic force of the spring 44, so that the locking post 42 completely disengages from the locking hole 33. At this time, the mechanical lock is released, and the user can directly and smoothly pull the plug 2 out of the socket 1 to achieve quick separation. The entire plugging and unplugging process does not require tools. Relying on the elastic reset of the spring 44 and the mechanical advantages of lever transmission, it takes into account both connection reliability and operation convenience.
