Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable technology, and in particular to a modular cable that can be quickly disconnected. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as communication transmission, industrial control, and power distribution, cables serve as the core carriers of signal and power transmission. The efficiency of their connection and deployment directly impacts the progress of system setup and ease of operation and maintenance. As various systems evolve towards modularity and flexibility, higher demands are placed on cable splicing speed, deployment flexibility, and connection stability. This is especially true in temporary communication sites, rapid commissioning scenarios for industrial equipment, or emergency power repair operations, where frequent and rapid cable connection and disconnection are necessary to shorten system start-up and shutdown times and improve operational efficiency.

[0003] Currently, most cable connection methods on the market adopt traditional threaded joint or fixed connector designs. The former requires multiple rotations of the connector to achieve connection, and lacks a precise positioning structure during the connection process, making it prone to poor contact due to misalignment of the pins and grooves. Furthermore, the threads are prone to stripping after prolonged use, failing to guarantee long-term connection stability. The latter requires specialized tools for connector assembly and disassembly, making the operation cumbersome, extending cable splicing time, and increasing the operational difficulty for maintenance personnel. In addition, existing cable connector locking structures are mostly single-limit designs, lacking auxiliary fixing mechanisms. Under external forces such as vibration and tension, the connector is prone to loosening, leading to interruption of the electrical path and affecting the stable transmission of signals or power. Simultaneously, traditional cables are mostly integrated structures, unable to flexibly add or remove splice nodes according to actual needs, making it difficult to adapt to the on-demand deployment requirements of modular systems. These problems collectively restrict the stability and operational efficiency of cable connections, urgently requiring a cable structure that can balance rapid splicing, stable connection, and flexible deployment.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] 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.

[0017] Reference Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a modular cable that can be quickly split, comprising a first cable 1, a mating block 2 fixedly connected to the left end of the first cable 1, a first sealing rubber ring 13 fixedly connected to the left end of the outer wall of the mating block 2, a male connector 3 fixedly connected to the left end of the mating block 2, a pin 4 fixedly connected to the left end of the male connector 3, a female connector 5 slidably connected to the outer wall of the male connector 3, a second cable 7 fixedly connected to the left end of the female connector 5, a limiting groove 10 formed on the inner wall of the right end of the female connector 5, a limiting strip 9 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the male connector 3, the limiting strip 9 slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 10, and a pin groove 8 formed on the inner wall of the left end of the female connector 5.

[0018] Specifically, this device adopts a modular design, enabling rapid cable splitting and plug-and-play functionality, facilitating flexible deployment as needed. Its core working principle is based on a sliding connection mechanism between the female connector 5 and the male connector 3, ensuring the stability and reliability of cable connection. During the connection process, the female connector 5 and male connector 3 are first aligned, ensuring that pin 4 is accurately inserted into the pin groove 8, while the limiting strip 9 and the limiting groove 10 are precisely aligned. Then, the female connector 5 and male connector 3 are connected through a sliding operation until the left end of pin 4 fully abuts the electrical contact 15, completing the connection between the first cable 1 and the second cable 7.

[0019] Reference Figures 2-4A spring plate 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left end of the needle groove 8. An electrical contact 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of the spring plate 14. The outer wall of the needle foot 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the needle groove 8. The left end of the needle foot 4 abuts against the right end of the electrical contact 15. The outer wall of the female head 5 is rotatably connected to the outer sleeve 6. The left end of the outer wall of the female head 5 is fixedly connected to the second sealing rubber ring 16. The upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the mating block 2 are fixedly connected to the guide pins 11. The inner wall of the right end of the outer sleeve 6 is provided with a guide groove 12. The outer wall of the guide pin 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 12. The right end of the guide groove 12 is the inlet section 17. The middle end of the guide groove 12 is the locking section 18. The left end of the guide groove 12 is the locking section 19.

[0020] Specifically, to ensure a stable connection, the device employs a unique guide locking mechanism. The guide groove 12 on the inner wall of the right end of the outer sleeve 6 cooperates with the guide pin 11 to achieve a reliable locking function. Specifically, when the female connector 5 mates with the male connector 3, the guide groove 12 is aligned with the guide pin 11 by rotating the outer sleeve 6. At this time, the guide pin 11 slides from the inlet section 17 to the locking section 18, ensuring full contact between the pin 4 and the electrical contact 15. Subsequently, the outer sleeve 6 is rotated further, allowing the guide pin 11 to enter the locking section 19. At this time, the pin 4 applies pressure to the spring plate 14, which is arched and deforms under pressure, generating a radial rebound force. The rebound force of the spring plate 14 stably engages the guide pin 11 in the locking section 19, thus achieving a secure cable connection. Disassembly is simple and quick. Simply press the male connector 3 and the female connector 5 slightly towards the center to allow the guide pin 11 to slide out of the locking section 19. Subsequently, rotating the outer sleeve 6 disengages the guide pin 11 from the locking section 18, easily separating the male connector 3 from the female connector 5. The first sealing rubber ring 13 and the second sealing rubber ring 16 ensure the sealing of the connection between the outer sleeve 6, the female connector 5, and the mating block 2. This design not only ensures the stability of the cable connection but also significantly improves the convenience of disassembly operations, effectively increasing work efficiency.

[0021] Working principle: This device achieves rapid connection, plug-and-play functionality, and on-demand deployment through modular cable design. Cable connection is achieved through the sliding connection of female connector 5 and male connector 3. During connection, align pin 4 with pin groove 8 and limit strip 9 with limit groove 10, then slide female connector 5 and male connector 3 until the left end of pin 4 abuts against electrical contact 15, completing the connection of the first cable 1 and the second cable 7. The guide groove 12 on the inner wall of the right end of the outer sleeve 6 engages with the guide pin 11 to achieve locking. When the female connector 5 and the male connector 3 are connected, the outer sleeve 6 is rotated to align the guide groove 12 with the guide pin 11. During connection, the guide pin 11 slides from the inlet section 17 to the locking section 18. At this time, the pin 4 abuts against the electrical contact 15. Then, by rotating the outer sleeve 6, the guide pin 11 is rotated into the locking section 19. At this time, the pin 4 presses the spring plate 14, and the spring plate 14's rebound force restricts the guide pin 11 to the locking section 19. When separating the connection, simply press the male connector 3 and the female connector 5 towards the middle to make the guide pin 11 slide out of the locking section 19. Then, rotate the outer sleeve 6 to make the guide pin 11 slide out of the locking section 18, and the male connector 3 and the female connector 5 can be separated. This design makes the cable connection stable and the disassembly quick.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
