[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a cable connector with a guiding self-locking function, including a plug and a socket, wherein the plug and the socket are plugged into each other, and a self-locking device is installed on the surface of the plug and the socket together, wherein the self-locking device enhances the connection stability of the plug and the socket with the help of a fixing plate.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is that when using cable connectors to connect and assemble cables, the plugs and sockets of the two ends of the cables are first plugged into each other, and the self-locking device further enhances the connection strength of the plugs and sockets.

[0007] Preferably, the self-locking device includes two mounting plates, which are respectively connected and fixed to the arc surface of the plug. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate, and a fixed plate is rotatably disposed on the arc surface of the rotating shaft. An operating plate is mounted on the surface of the fixed plate. Two fixed seats are fixedly connected to the surface of the socket. The fixed plate is inserted into the inner wall of the fixed seat. A spring is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate near the plug, and the other end of the spring is connected and fixed to the plug by means of an assembly plate.

[0008] The effects achieved by the above components are: during normal use, the socket and plug of the cable connector can be more stable, and a good self-locking effect can be achieved during assembly. At the same time, with the assistance of the self-locking device, the insertion position can be accurately determined and guided.

[0009] Preferably, the self-locking device further includes torsion springs sleeved on the arc surfaces at both ends of the rotating shaft, wherein the two ends of the torsion springs are respectively connected and fixed to the mounting plate and the fixing plate.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting the torsion spring, after the fixing plate is slidably inserted into the inner wall of the fixing seat, the torsional force of the torsion spring can be used to strengthen the locking effect between the fixing plate and the fixing seat, and achieve a more stable self-locking effect.

[0011] Preferably, the self-locking device further includes a reinforcing pad installed on one side surface of the fixing plate, wherein the reinforcing pad improves the connection between the fixing plate and the fixing seat.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that, through the reinforcement pads made of rubber, the friction is further increased when the fixing plate and the fixing base are pressed against each other, thereby ensuring a good and stable connection between the socket and the plug.

[0013] Preferably, each of the two mounting plates has a sliding rod slidably disposed through its surface, wherein a positioning block is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod near the fixed seat, and a spring is sleeved on the arc surface of the sliding rod.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the fixing plate is stuck in the inner wall of the fixing seat under the elastic force of the spring, the positioning block will cause the slide rod to slide on the surface of the mounting plate under the elastic force of the spring until the positioning block is inserted into the lower position of the fixing plate and comes into contact with the fixing plate. At this time, the position of the fixing plate is more stable and less prone to shaking, thus ensuring a firm connection between the fixing plate and the fixing seat.

[0015] Preferably, the surface of the fixing base is provided with a protective component, wherein the protective component includes a protective plate, wherein the protective plate is rotatably disposed with the inner wall of the fixing base, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the protective plate, wherein a fixing groove is formed on the surface of the mounting plate, and the fixing rod is engaged with the inner wall of the fixing groove.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that, during normal use of the cable connector, the components of the self-locking device are not easily touched or disturbed, thus preventing abnormal use of the self-locking device and ensuring the normal connection of the cable.

[0017] Preferably, a reinforcing sleeve is installed on the inner wall of the fixing groove, wherein the reinforcing sleeve enhances the connection stability between the fixing rod and the fixing groove.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that the reinforcement sleeve made of sponge material allows the fixing rod to fit more smoothly into the inner wall of the fixing groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the protection.

[0019] Preferably, protective plates are installed on both sides of the surface of the protective plate, wherein the protective plates enhance the functionality of the protective plate.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting up the protective plate, when the protective plate covers the surface of the fixed plate, the two sides can be further protected, thereby providing more adequate protection for the components of the self-locking device.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: In normal use, the cable connector of this utility model allows for greater stability between the socket and plug, and achieves a good self-locking effect during assembly. Furthermore, with the assistance of the self-locking device, the insertion position can be accurately determined and guided. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cable connector shown includes a plug 1 and a socket 2. The plug 1 and the socket 2 are plugged into each other, and a self-locking device 3 is installed on the surface of the plug 1 and the socket 2. The self-locking device 3 enhances the connection stability of the plug 1 and the socket 2 with the help of a fixing plate 33. A protective component 4 is provided on the surface of the fixing base 34.

[0028] Figure 1 - Figure 4 The self-locking device 3 shown includes two mounting plates 31, which are respectively connected and fixed to the arc surface of the plug 1. A rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 31, and a fixed plate 33 is rotatably mounted on the arc surface of the rotating shaft 32. An operating plate 37 is mounted on the surface of the fixed plate 33. Two fixed seats 34 are fixedly connected to the surface of the socket 2. The fixed plate 33 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixed seat 34. A spring piece 35 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate 33 near the plug 1. The other end of the spring piece 35 is connected and fixed to the plug 1 by means of an assembly plate 36. When using a cable connector to connect and assemble the cable, the plugs 1 of the two ends of the cable are first inserted into each other. During the insertion process, the fixed plate 35 on the plug 1... The arc surface at one end of plate 33 will slide in the inner wall of the fixing seat 34 fixedly connected to the surface of socket 2. As the insertion deepens, the fixing plate 33 will rotate in the pivot 32 on the inner wall of the mounting plate 31 until the plug 1 and socket 2 are fully inserted into each other. At this time, the protrusion at one end of the fixing plate 33 will penetrate into the groove on the inner side of the fixing seat 34. The spring piece 35 fixedly connected on the Anhui assembly plate 36 will rebound with elastic force, squeezing and lifting the fixing plate 33, so that the fixing plate 33 is completely stuck in the inner wall of the fixing seat 34. At this time, when the cable connector is used normally, the socket 2 and plug 1 can be more stable, and a good self-locking effect is achieved during the assembly process. At the same time, with the assistance of the self-locking device 3, the insertion position can be accurately determined and guided.

[0029] Figure 1 - Figure 4The self-locking device 3 shown also includes torsion springs 38 sleeved on the arc surfaces at both ends of the rotating shaft 32. The two ends of the torsion springs 38 are respectively connected and fixed to the mounting plate 31 and the fixing plate 33. With the setting of the torsion springs 38, after the fixing plate 33 slides into the inner wall of the fixing seat 34, the torsional force of the torsion springs 38 can strengthen the locking effect between the fixing plate 33 and the fixing seat 34, and achieve a more stable self-locking effect. The self-locking device 3 also includes a reinforcing pad 39 installed on one side surface of the fixing plate 33. The reinforcing pad 39 improves the connection between the fixing plate 33 and the fixing seat 34. With the setting of the rubber reinforcing pad 39, the friction is further increased when the fixing plate 33 and the fixing seat 34 are pressed against each other, thereby ensuring a good and stable connection between the socket 2 and the plug 1.

[0030] Figure 1 - Figure 4 The surfaces of the two mounting plates 31 shown are respectively provided with sliding rods 310. The end of the sliding rod 310 near the fixed base 34 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 311, and a spring 312 is sleeved on the arc surface of the sliding rod 310. When the fixed plate 33 is stuck in the inner wall of the fixed base 34 under the elastic force of the spring piece 35, the positioning block 311 will cause the sliding rod 310 to slide on the surface of the mounting plate 31 under the elastic force of the spring 312 until the positioning block 311 is inserted into the lower position of the fixed plate 33 and comes into contact with the fixed plate 33. At this time, the position of the fixed plate 33 is more stable and less prone to shaking, thereby ensuring a firm connection between the fixed plate 33 and the fixed base 34.

[0031] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The protective component 4 shown includes a protective plate 41, which is rotatably mounted to the inner wall of the mounting base 34. A fixing rod 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective plate 41. A fixing groove 43 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 31, and the fixing rod 42 engages with the inner wall of the fixing groove 43. When the plug 1 and socket 2 enhance the stability of the connection through the self-locking device 3, the protective plate 41 on the surface of the mounting base 34 is rotated until the fixing rod 42 fixedly connected to one side of the protective plate 41 engages with the inner wall of the fixing groove 43 on the surface of the mounting plate 31. At this time, the protective plate 41 will cover the surface of the mounting plate 31, so that the components of the self-locking device 3 are not easily touched or bumped during normal use of the cable connector, thus preventing abnormal use of the self-locking device 3 and ensuring the normal connection of the cable.

[0032] Figure 1 and Figure 2The inner wall of the fixing groove 43 shown is equipped with a reinforcing sleeve 44, which enhances the connection stability between the fixing rod 42 and the fixing groove 43. The reinforcing sleeve 44, made of sponge material, allows the fixing rod 42 to be inserted into the inner wall of the fixing groove 43 more smoothly, thus ensuring the stability of the protection. Protective plates 45 are installed on both sides of the surface of the protective plate 41, which enhances the functionality of the protective plate 41. By setting the protective plates 45, when the protective plate 41 covers the surface of the fixing plate 33, it can further protect the two sides, thus providing more comprehensive protection for the components of the self-locking device 3.

[0033] Working principle: When using a cable connector to connect and assemble cables, firstly, the plugs 1 of the two cables are plugged into each other. During the plugging process, the arc surface of one end of the fixing plate 33 on the plug 1 will slide in the inner wall of the fixing seat 34 fixedly connected to the surface of the socket 2. As the insertion deepens, the fixing plate 33 will rotate in the pivot 32 on the inner wall of the mounting plate 31 until the plug 1 and socket 2 are fully inserted into each other. At this time, the protrusion at one end of the fixing plate 33 will penetrate into the groove on the inner side of the fixing seat 34. The spring piece 35 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 36 will rebound with elastic force, squeezing and lifting the fixing plate 33, so that the fixing plate 33 is completely locked in the inner wall of the fixing seat 34. At this time, when the cable connector is used normally, the socket 2 and plug 1 can be more stable, and a good self-locking effect is achieved during the assembly process. At the same time, with the assistance of the self-locking device 3, the insertion position can be accurately determined and guided.

[0034] After the connection stability of plug 1 and socket 2 is enhanced by the self-locking device 3, rotate the protective plate 41 on the surface of the fixing base 34 until the fixing rod 42 fixedly connected to one side of the protective plate 41 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixing groove 43 on the surface of the mounting plate 31. At this time, the protective plate 41 will cover the surface of the mounting plate 31, so that when the cable connector is in normal use, the components of the self-locking device 3 are not easily touched or bumped, which would cause abnormal use of the self-locking device 3, thus ensuring the normal connection of the cable.

[0035] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
