Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a connector that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] A connector is an electromechanical component that connects two circuits or devices to each other through a physical interface to enable the transmission of electrical energy, signals, or data. It typically consists of a plug (male end) and a socket (female end) to ensure a stable connection that can be repeatedly plugged in and out.
[0003] Currently, in the fields of electronic equipment, mechanical assembly, and power connection, connectors are key components, and their installation efficiency and connection stability directly affect the overall reliability of the equipment. Traditional connectors typically employ threaded fastening, snap-fit nesting, or plug-in designs, but these present the following problems in practical applications:
[0004] 1) Cumbersome installation: Most connectors require tools (such as screwdrivers) or multiple rotations to align and fix them, which is time-consuming and not friendly to installation in small spaces;
[0005] 2) Easy to loosen and fall off: Mechanical vibration or external force pulling can easily cause the male and female ends to separate, especially in high-frequency plugging and unplugging scenarios. The snap-fit structure is prone to wear and failure. Therefore, we propose a connector that is easy to install. Utility Model Content

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 A connector that is easy to install is provided, which includes a male end 1, and the mating ends of the male end 1 have integrally formed and symmetrically arranged convex shafts 101 on both sides.
[0031] Female end 2 is inserted and installed on male end 1. The mating ends of female end 2 have integrally formed and symmetrically arranged locking posts 201 on both sides.
[0032] The anti-detachment device 3 has a U-shaped structure with a horizontal part 301 and a vertical part 302. The horizontal part 301 and the vertical part 302 are integrally formed. The U-shaped structure is snapped into place at the mating connection of the male end 1 and the female end 2. In application, the U-shaped anti-detachment device 3 achieves quick snap-fit fixation after the male end 1 and the female end 2 are plugged in through the integral design of the horizontal part 301 and the vertical part 302. Installation can be completed without the aid of tools. At the same time, its symmetrical structure adapts to force scenarios in different directions, effectively solving the problem of cumbersome installation of traditional connectors.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 One end of the vertical part 302 has an integrally formed hinge ear 303 corresponding to the convex shaft 101. The hinge ear 303 can be rotatably installed on the outer surface of the convex shaft 101. The bottom of the other end of the vertical part 302 has an integrally formed and symmetrically arranged snap-fit protrusion 304. The snap-fit protrusion 304 and the vertical part 302 surround to form a snap-fit groove, and the snap-fit post 201 can be snap-fitted into the snap-fit groove. In application, the rotational cooperation between the hinge ear 303 and the convex shaft 101, combined with the nested structure of the snap-fit groove and the snap-fit post 201, forms a double locking mechanism. This ensures the rotatable and adjustable operation of the anti-drop device 3, and improves the anti-vibration capability through physical limiting, directly addressing the problem of easy loosening in high-frequency insertion and removal scenarios.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of one end of the horizontal part 301 has an integrally formed operating protrusion 305 for applying force, and the other end of the horizontal part 301 has an integrally formed limiting protrusion 306 for limiting. In application, the ergonomic design of the operating protrusion 305 can significantly improve the efficiency of manual operation, while the limiting protrusion 306 prevents accidental unlocking through mechanical interference. The two work together to improve the operational reliability of the connector in confined spaces.
[0035] Reference Figures 1-4 The anti-drop device 3 is made of 304 stainless steel. In application, 304 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance and structural strength. It can maintain the stability of the anti-drop function under harsh conditions such as high temperature and humidity, and can extend the service life of the connector.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Insertion stage: Align the insertion hole of the female end 2 with the guide pin of the male end 1, and insert it along the axial direction until the locking post 201 contacts the vertical part 302 of the anti-drop device 3.
[0037] Locking phase: Press the finger to operate the protrusion 305, causing the anti-fall device 3 to rotate around the protrusion shaft 101. At this time, the hinge ear 303 rotates around the protrusion shaft 101 as the axis, and the slot is simultaneously nested on the locking post 201.
[0038] Unlocking operation: Press the protrusion 305 in the opposite direction to the unlock position. After the slot on the anti-drop device 3 disengages from the locking post 201, the male end 1 and the female end 2 can be separated.
[0039] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
