Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of connector insertion and removal devices, and in particular to a semi-automatic connector insertion and removal device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rise of millimeter-wave RF connectors, products are constantly iterating and evolving, operating at increasingly higher frequencies and becoming smaller in size, making high-density integration an inevitable trend. Due to the small size and high density, operating space is limited, and currently, most connector mating devices widely used in the market are manual direct mating types. The tools required for mating operations are tweezers or flat pry bars, which are very inconvenient.

[0003] At the same time, this operation method requires a high level of experience and force control from the operator: if the applied force is too small, the connector pins may not be able to fully align or separate from the socket, resulting in poor contact and affecting the stable transmission of signals or current; if the applied force is too large and the direction of the force is deviated, it may cause the connector pins to bend, the socket to deform, or even damage the connector shell, which will not only increase the cost of replacing the connector, but also delay the assembly or maintenance of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the cumbersome assembly and disassembly of existing connectors, this application provides a semi-automatic connector insertion and removal device.

[0005] The semi-automatic connector insertion and removal device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A semi-automatic connector insertion and removal device includes a connecting shell, the connecting shell comprising a tubular shell portion and an extension ring, the extension ring being installed at the tail end of the tubular shell portion, and a top tube clamp being inserted into the head end of the tubular shell portion, and an insertion / removal rod assembly being inserted into the tail end of the tubular shell portion. Both the top tube clamp and the insertion / removal rod assembly are slidably connected to the tubular shell portion, and the tail end of the top tube clamp is threadedly connected to the head end of the insertion / removal rod assembly. A support spring for supporting the insertion / removal rod assembly is also installed in the tubular shell portion, and a pressing member is installed at the outer end of the insertion / removal rod assembly, the pressing member being detachably and fixedly connected to the insertion / removal rod assembly.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, utilizing the combined structure of the tube shell and extension ring, as well as the sliding connection between the top tube clamp at the head and the sliding connection between the insertion / extraction rod assembly at the tail, linear and smooth transmission during the insertion / extraction process is achieved. The threaded connection ensures fixed positioning, the support spring provides rebound and buffering, and the pressing component provides the operation input point. The overall structure is compact, of moderate weight, and easy to assemble and maintain. This design significantly improves the repeatability, reliability, and service life of the insertion / extraction process, and reduces the fatigue and risk of misoperation during manual operation. The detachable and fixed connection between the pressing component and the insertion / extraction rod assembly provides convenience for replacement and maintenance, facilitating flexible adjustment of insertion / extraction force and stroke in different working scenarios. In actual use, when not pressed, the support spring pushes the insertion / extraction rod assembly outward, thereby pulling the head of the top tube clamp into the tube shell. The tube shell then assists in clamping the head of the top tube clamp, facilitating the locking of the top tube clamp onto the connector's female end.

[0007] Optionally, the casing includes a wide-diameter sleeve and a narrow-diameter tube, wherein the narrow-diameter tube is coaxially mounted on the front end face of the wide-diameter sleeve, and the narrow-diameter tube and the wide-diameter sleeve are integrally formed.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the wide-diameter sleeve and the narrow-diameter pipe are integrally formed, and the narrow-diameter pipe is coaxially installed on the front end face of the wide-diameter sleeve, giving the pipe shell good concentricity and rigidity, and improving the overall guiding stability and sealing performance. The wide-diameter sleeve is used for sliding installation of the insertion and extraction rod assembly, while the narrow-diameter pipe is used for sliding installation of the jacking pipe clamp, ensuring a stable connection between the insertion and extraction rod assembly and the jacking pipe clamp in the pipe shell.

[0009] Optionally, a supporting stepped platform is provided on the inner side of the connection between the wide-diameter sleeve and the narrow-diameter pipe, and a tightening inclined surface is provided on the inner side of the head of the narrow-diameter pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, the structural arrangement of the supporting stepped platform and the constricted inclined plane improves the fitting accuracy of the narrow-diameter pipe at the joint, reduces tolerance interference during the assembly stage, and thus obtains a more stable transmission and positioning force distribution between the jacking pipe clamp and the insertion rod assembly.

[0011] Optionally, the jacking clamp includes a long tube section and elastic claws that cooperate with the tightening inclined surface. The elastic claws are evenly installed at the head of the long tube section along the circumferential direction, and the elastic claws are integrally formed with the long tube section.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the elastic claws being evenly distributed along the circumference and integrally formed with the long tube section ensures uniform clamping force on the insertion and extraction rod assembly during insertion and extraction, improving clamping stability and positioning accuracy, and reducing wear and jamming caused by uneven force on the claws. Furthermore, the elastic claws are designed to automatically open when extending from the narrow-diameter tube head and automatically clamp when retracted into the narrow-diameter tube.

[0013] Optionally, the insertion / extraction rod assembly includes a thick rod section, a thin rod section, and an externally threaded rod. The thin rod section is coaxially mounted at one end of the thick rod section, and the externally threaded rod is coaxially mounted at the head of the thin rod section. The thick rod section, the thin rod section, and the externally threaded rod are integrally formed.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the thick rod, thin rod, and externally threaded rod of the insertion / extraction rod assembly are integrally formed, simplifying the structure and facilitating assembly. The engagement of the externally threaded rod with the internal thread of the long tube section achieves more stable transmission and positioning. During use, the thick rod is installed in the wide-diameter sleeve to ensure stable sliding installation, while the thin rod facilitates the installation of the support spring, and the externally threaded rod ensures better connection with the jacking pipe clamp, allowing for synchronous movement of the jacking pipe clamp during use.

[0015] Optionally, the tail end of the long tube is provided with an internal thread that mates with the externally threaded rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the internal thread and the external thread rod achieve a tight transmission fit, improving the positioning accuracy during insertion and extraction, and the internal thread connection reduces the thread end face gap, thus improving reliability.

[0017] Optionally, the outer end of the thick rod is provided with a threaded hole for installing the pressing component, and a sealing ring is also fitted onto the outer end face of the thick rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded hole and sealing ring of the thick rod section improve the sealing performance between the connector and the working environment, reduce the intrusion of dust, moisture and other substances into the system, and improve long-term stability and maintenance cycle.

[0019] Optionally, the pressing component includes a pressing plate and a connecting screw that mates with a threaded hole. The connecting screw is fixedly installed at the center of one side of the pressing plate, and a rubber convex pad is fixedly installed on the other side of the pressing plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the structural design of the pressing component provides a stable operating feel and effective force transmission. The cushioning effect of the rubber convex pad reduces the impact on the operator when touching the pressing component, improving operating comfort and safety.

[0021] In summary, this application offers at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: The structural design is simple and clear, with well-defined connections and fits between components, facilitating manufacturing and assembly and reducing production costs. In practical use, operators can easily insert and remove the connector by pressing the pressing component; the operation is simple and easy to understand, requiring no complex training. Simultaneously, the elastic claws of the top tube clamp and the tightening inclined surface of the tube shell work together to precisely clamp and release the connector, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of insertion and removal. Furthermore, during insertion and removal, the device can apply insertion and removal forces evenly, preventing damage to the connector due to uneven forces and extending its service life.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This application discloses a semi-automatic connector insertion and removal device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A semi-automatic connector insertion and removal device includes a connecting shell 1, which includes a tube shell portion 11 and an extension ring 12. The extension ring 12 is installed at the tail of the tube shell portion 11, and a top tube clamp 2 is inserted and installed at the head of the tube shell portion 11. An insertion and removal rod assembly 3 is inserted and installed at the tail of the tube shell portion 11. Both the top tube clamp 2 and the insertion and removal rod assembly 3 are slidably connected to the tube shell portion 11, and the tail of the top tube clamp 2 is threadedly connected to the head of the insertion and removal rod assembly 3. A support spring 10 for supporting the insertion and removal rod assembly 3 is also installed in the tube shell portion 11. A pressing member 4 is installed at the outer end of the insertion and removal rod assembly 3, and the pressing member 4 is detachably and fixedly connected to the insertion and removal rod assembly 3. The combined structure of the housing 11 and the extension ring 12, along with the sliding connection of the top tube clamp 2 at the head and the sliding connection of the insertion / extraction rod assembly 3 at the tail, achieves linear and smooth transmission during the insertion / extraction process. The threaded connection ensures fixed positioning, the support spring 10 provides rebound and cushioning, and the pressing element 4 provides the operation input point. The overall structure is compact, lightweight, and easy to assemble and maintain. This design significantly improves the repeatability, reliability, and service life of the insertion / extraction process, reducing fatigue and the risk of misoperation during manual operation. The detachable and fixed connection of the pressing element 4 with the insertion / extraction rod assembly 3 provides convenience for replacement and maintenance, facilitating flexible adjustment of insertion / extraction force and stroke in different working scenarios. In actual use, without pressing, the support spring 10 pushes the insertion / extraction rod assembly 3 to move outward first, and then the insertion / extraction rod assembly 3 pulls the head of the top tube clamp 2 into the housing 11. The housing 11 assists in clamping the head of the top tube clamp 2, thus facilitating the locking of the top tube clamp 2 onto the connector's female end.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The casing portion 11 includes a wide-diameter sleeve 111 and a narrow-diameter tube 112. The narrow-diameter tube 112 is coaxially mounted on the front end face of the wide-diameter sleeve 111, and the narrow-diameter tube 112 and the wide-diameter sleeve 111 are integrally formed. The integral formation of the wide-diameter sleeve 111 and the narrow-diameter tube 112, and the coaxial mounting of the narrow-diameter tube 112 on the front end face of the wide-diameter sleeve 111, gives the casing portion 11 good concentricity and rigidity, improving the overall guiding stability and sealing performance. The wide-diameter sleeve 111 is used for sliding installation of the insertion and extraction rod assembly 3, while the narrow-diameter tube 112 is used for sliding installation of the top pipe clamp 2, ensuring a stable connection between the insertion and extraction rod assembly 3 and the top pipe clamp 2 in the casing portion 11. A supporting stepped platform 113 is provided on the inner side of the connection between the wide-diameter sleeve 111 and the narrow-diameter tube 112, and a contraction bevel 114 is provided on the inner side of the head of the narrow-diameter tube 112. The structural arrangement of the supporting stepped platform 113 and the constricted inclined surface 114 improves the fitting accuracy of the narrow diameter pipe 112 at the joint and reduces tolerance interference during the assembly stage, thereby obtaining a more stable transmission and positioning force distribution between the top pipe clamp 2 and the insertion rod assembly 3.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5The jacking clamp 2 includes a long tube portion 21 and elastic claws 22 that cooperate with the tightening inclined surface 114. The elastic claws 22 are evenly installed on the head of the long tube portion 21 along the circumferential direction, and are integrally formed with the long tube portion 21. The design of the elastic claws 22 being evenly distributed along the circumference and integrally formed with the long tube portion 21 ensures that the clamping force on the insertion and extraction rod assembly 3 is uniform during insertion and extraction, improving clamping stability and positioning accuracy, and reducing wear and jamming caused by uneven force on the claws. Furthermore, the elastic claws 22 are designed to automatically open when extending from the head of the narrow diameter tube 112 and automatically clamp when retracted into the narrow diameter tube 112.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The insertion / extraction rod assembly 3 includes a thick rod portion 31, a thin rod portion 32, and an externally threaded rod 33. The thin rod portion 32 is coaxially mounted at one end of the thick rod portion 31, and the externally threaded rod 33 is coaxially mounted at the head of the thin rod portion 32. The thick rod portion 31, thin rod portion 32, and externally threaded rod 33 are integrally formed. The integral formation of the thick rod portion 31, thin rod portion 32, and externally threaded rod 33 simplifies the structure and facilitates assembly. The externally threaded rod 33 engages with the internal thread of the long tube portion 21 to achieve more stable transmission and positioning. During use, the thick rod portion 31 is installed in the wide-diameter sleeve 111 to ensure stable sliding installation. The thin rod portion 32 facilitates the installation of the support spring 10, and the externally threaded rod 33 ensures better connection with the jacking pipe clamp 2, allowing for synchronous movement of the jacking pipe clamp 2 during use. The overall transmission mechanism has high rigidity and response speed, suitable for applications requiring rapid and safe insertion / extraction. The tail of the long tube 21 is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external threaded rod 33. The internal thread and the external threaded rod 33 achieve a tight transmission fit, improving the positioning accuracy during insertion and removal, and the internal thread connection reduces the thread end face clearance, improving reliability. The outer end of the thick rod 31 has a threaded hole 311 for mounting the pressing part 4, and a sealing ring 312 is also fitted onto the outer end face of the thick rod 31. The threaded hole 311 and the sealing ring 312 of the thick rod 31 improve the sealing performance between the connector and the working environment, reduce the intrusion of dust, moisture, etc. into the system, and improve long-term stability and maintenance cycle.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The pressing component 4 includes a pressing plate 41 and a connecting screw 42 that mates with a threaded hole 311. The connecting screw 42 is fixedly installed at the center of one side of the pressing plate 41, and a rubber convex pad 411 is fixedly installed on the other side of the pressing plate 41. The structural design of the pressing component 4, including the pressing plate 41, the connecting screw 42, and the rubber convex pad 411, provides a stable operating feel and effective force transmission. The cushioning effect of the rubber convex pad 411 reduces the impact felt by the operator when touching the pressing component 4, improving operating comfort and safety, and uniformizing the initial input of insertion and extraction force.

[0034] The implementation principle of a semi-automatic connector insertion and removal device according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: In actual use, pressing the pressing member 4 pushes the insertion / removal rod assembly 3 forward, compressing the support spring 10. The insertion / removal rod assembly 3 drives the top tube clamp 2 forward through a threaded connection. The elastic claw 22 opens outward along the tightening slope 114, placing the female end of the connector into the elastic claw 22. Releasing the pressing member 4 allows the insertion / removal rod assembly 3 to move forward under the action of the support spring 10, thereby driving the top tube clamp 2 to move backward synchronously. The elastic claw 22 retracts inward under the action of the tightening slope 114, thus clamping the female end of the connector. When it is necessary to release the connector, the pressing member 4 is pressed again, and the insertion / removal rod assembly 3 drives the top tube clamp 2 forward through a threaded connection. The elastic claw 22 extends from the head of the tube shell 11 and naturally opens under its own elasticity, thereby achieving the purpose of releasing the connector.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
