Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of horizontal connector technology, and in particular to a horizontal connector. Background Technology

[0002] A connector is a device that connects wire harnesses to electronic devices and is used to transmit current or signals. The main application areas for electrical connectors include transportation, communication, networking, medical, and home appliances.

[0003] However, when assembling connectors, operators need to press the pins into the mounting block. Due to the fragile structure of the pins, they are prone to bending, deformation or breakage during manual pressing and installation due to uneven force or improper operation. This makes connector assembly inconvenient and increases scrap rate and cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a horizontal connector that is easy to assemble. It solves the problem that when assembling a connector, the operator needs to press the pins into the mounting block. Due to the fragile structure of the pins, they are prone to bending, deformation or breakage during manual pressing due to uneven force or improper operation. This makes the connector assembly inconvenient and increases the scrap rate and cost.

[0005] The horizontal connector provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A horizontal connector includes a mounting base, a mounting block, and a pin. The mounting base has a mounting groove on one side, the mounting block has a receiving groove, and the mounting block has first slots on both sides. Locking blocks are engaged in the two first slots. The pin is installed in the receiving groove. A first protrusion is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two locking blocks, and a second protrusion is fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the mounting block.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, through the setting of mounting base, mounting block, locking block and pin, the mounting block is installed in the mounting groove on one side of the mounting base. The receiving groove inside the mounting block is used to place the pin and the pin is locked in the receiving groove by two locking blocks. During assembly, the pin is first placed in the receiving groove inside the first mounting block and the two locking blocks are snapped into the slots. The pin is fixed in the receiving groove by the two locking blocks. Then, the mounting block and the pin fixed by the two locking blocks are installed together into the mounting groove inside the mounting base. During installation, the second protrusion abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove, so that the mounting block will not move when it is in the mounting groove. The tight contact between the first protrusion and the inner wall of the mounting groove restricts the position of the locking block, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the pin. The setting of mounting base, mounting block and locking block avoids the damage that may be caused by improper operation when forcibly installing the pin, making the assembly more convenient and ensuring the yield of the connector during the assembly process.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting seat is installed on one side of the mounting base, a slot is provided at the upper end of one side of the mounting base, a second slot is provided on one side of the outer wall of the mounting base, a positioning post is fixedly connected to the bottom end of one side of the mounting base, an insert is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the connecting seat, a retaining ring is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the connecting seat, and a positioning hole is fixedly connected to the bottom end of one side of the connecting seat.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a slot, a second slot, and a positioning post on the mounting base, and by setting corresponding inserts, retaining rings, and positioning holes on the connecting base, when installing the connecting base and the mounting base, the inserts are inserted into the slots, the retaining rings are engaged in the second slots, and the positioning posts are inserted into the positioning holes. This positioning and constraint formed during the connection process ensures the accuracy of the installation of the mounting base and the connecting base, avoids misalignment, ensures stable installation, prevents loosening or falling off during use, and improves the assembly efficiency and reliability of the mounting base and the connecting base.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of the mounting base is fixedly connected to four mounting feet arranged in a rectangular array.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting four mounting feet in a rectangular array at the bottom of the mounting base, the mounting feet can position the mounting base when the connector is installed on the electronic device, preventing the mounting base from tilting or loosening, thereby enhancing the connection stability of the connector and ensuring that it maintains a stable position during use.

[0011] Preferably, guide grooves are provided on the upper ends of both sides of the inner wall of the connecting seat, and sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the connecting seat.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide grooves opened on both sides of the upper end of the inner wall of the connector are used to guide the insertion direction of the wire harness plug, and the setting of the sliding groove makes the docking process of the wire harness plug smoother and more stable.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting block is installed inside the mounting groove by two second protrusions, the pin is disposed between two locking blocks, and the ends of the two first protrusions away from the locking blocks are in contact with the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting block is installed in the mounting groove by two second protrusions, and the pin is placed between the two locking blocks. The end of the first protrusion on the two locking blocks away from the locking block contacts the inner wall of the mounting groove. During assembly, the two locking blocks clamp the pin from both sides, ensuring that the pin remains stable in the receiving groove and is not prone to displacement or shaking, thus improving the overall structural robustness.

[0015] Preferably, the insert block is slidably disposed inside the slot, the retaining ring is slidably disposed inside the second slot, and the positioning post is slidably disposed inside the positioning hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the insert block is slidably set inside the slot, the retaining ring is slidably set inside the second slot, and the positioning pin is slidably set inside the positioning hole. When the mounting base and the connecting base are connected, the retaining ring and the second slot are used to ensure that the connecting base can be fixed at one end of the mounting base. The insert block being slidably set inside the slot and the positioning pin being slidably set inside the positioning hole can guide the connecting base to make precise connection, thus avoiding misalignment or offset during the connection process.

[0017] Preferably, both locking blocks are L-shaped.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the two locking blocks to an L-shape, during assembly, one side of the L-shaped locking block can be locked into the first slot of the mounting block for fixation, while the other side can form a lateral clamp on the pin in the receiving slot, preventing the pin from loosening and the mounting block from shaking.

[0019] Preferably, the pin is made of copper.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the copper material has good conductivity, which can reduce the loss in the current transmission process and ensure the stability and efficiency of electrical signal transmission.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This horizontal connector achieves efficient assembly through the design of a mounting base, mounting block, locking block, pins, and connector. During assembly, the pins are first placed into the receiving slot of the mounting block, and then the locking block is engaged with the first slot, clamping the pins from both sides to secure them and prevent damage caused by excessive pressure. The mounting block is then inserted into the mounting slot of the mounting base via the second protrusion. The first protrusion of the locking block abuts against the inner wall of the mounting slot, thus limiting the position of the locking block and ensuring stable installation of the pins and mounting block. When the connector mates with the mounting base, the pins slide into the slot, the retaining ring engages the second slot, and the positioning pin inserts into the positioning hole, achieving precise guidance and smooth docking between the connector and the mounting base, preventing misalignment. The four rectangular array mounting feet at the bottom of the mounting base ensure stable installation on the equipment, preventing tilting and loosening. Simultaneously, the copper pins ensure excellent conductivity, reducing signal transmission loss. This horizontal connector simplifies the assembly process, thereby improving assembly convenience and yield. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0025] Example 1: A horizontal connector, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The device includes a mounting base 1, a mounting block 3, and a pin 7. The mounting base 1 has a mounting groove 2 on one side. The mounting block 3 is installed in the mounting groove 2 on one side of the mounting base 1. The mounting block 3 has a receiving groove 4 inside, which is used to hold the pin 7. The mounting block 3 has first slots 5 on both sides, and locking blocks 6 are engaged inside the two first slots 5. The pin 7 is installed inside the receiving groove 4, and the two locking blocks 6 cooperate to lock the pin 7 within the receiving groove 4. A first protrusion 8 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two locking blocks 6. The tight contact between the first protrusion 8 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 2 restricts the position of the locking block 6, thus ensuring the fixation of the pin 7. A second protrusion 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the mounting block 3. During installation, the second protrusion 9 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove 2, preventing the mounting block 3 from moving when installed in the mounting groove 2.

[0026] Example 2: A horizontal connector, see reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6A connecting seat 10 is installed on one side of the mounting base 1. A slot 11 is provided at the upper end of one side of the mounting base 1, and a second slot 12 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting base 1. A positioning post 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of one side of the mounting base 1. A plug 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the connecting seat 10, a retaining ring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting seat 10, and a positioning hole 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of one side of the connecting seat 10. By providing the slot 11, the second slot 12, and the positioning post 13 on the mounting base 1, and corresponding plug 14, retaining ring 15, and positioning hole 16 on the connecting seat 10, when the connecting seat 10 is installed with the mounting base 1, the plug 14 is inserted into the slot 11, the retaining ring 15 is engaged in the second slot 12, and the positioning post 13 is inserted into the positioning hole 16. This positioning and constraint formed during the connection process ensures the accuracy of the installation of the mounting base 1 and the connecting seat 10, avoiding any misalignment. The misalignment ensures stable installation and prevents loosening or detachment during use, improving the assembly efficiency and reliability of the mounting base 1 and the connector 10. The mounting base 1 has four mounting feet 17 arranged in a rectangular array at its bottom. These feet position the mounting base 1 when the connector is installed on the electronic device, preventing tilting or loosening and enhancing the connector's stability, ensuring a stable position during use. The connector 10 has guide grooves 18 on both upper sides of its inner wall and sliding grooves 19 on both sides. The guide grooves 18 guide the insertion direction of the wire harness plug, while the sliding grooves 19 make the wire harness plug connection process smoother and more stable.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The mounting block 3 is installed inside the mounting groove 2 via two second protrusions 9. The pin 7 is positioned between two locking blocks 6. The ends of the two first protrusions 8 away from the locking blocks 6 contact the inner wall of the mounting groove 2. During assembly, the two locking blocks 6 clamp the pin 7 from both sides, ensuring the pin 7 remains stable within the receiving groove 4 and preventing displacement or shaking, thus improving the overall structural robustness. The insert block 14 is slidably positioned inside the slot 11, and the retaining ring 15 is slidably positioned between the two locking blocks 6. Inside the slot 12, the positioning post 13 is slidably disposed inside the positioning hole 16, and the insert block 14 is slidably disposed inside the slot 11. The retaining ring 15 is slidably disposed inside the second slot 12, and the positioning post 13 is slidably disposed inside the positioning hole 16. When the mounting base 1 and the connecting base 10 are mated, the retaining ring 15 and the second slot 12 are used to ensure that the connecting base 10 can be fixed at one end of the mounting base 1. The insert block 14 being slidably disposed inside the slot 11 and the positioning post 13 being slidably disposed inside the positioning hole 16 can guide the connecting base 10 to make precise mating, thus avoiding misalignment or offset during the mating process. Both locking blocks 6 are L-shaped. By setting the two locking blocks 6 to L-shape... During assembly, one side of the L-shaped locking block 6 can be locked into the first slot 5 of the mounting block 3 for fixation, while the other side can form a lateral clamp on the pin 7 in the receiving slot 4 to prevent the pin 7 from loosening and the mounting block 3 from shaking. The pin 7 is made of copper, which has good conductivity, reducing losses during current transmission and ensuring the stability and efficiency of electrical signal transmission.

[0028] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: During assembly, firstly, the pin 7 is placed into the receiving groove 4 of the mounting block 3. Two locking blocks 6 are then engaged with the first retaining grooves 5 on both sides of the mounting block 3. One end of each locking block 6 provides lateral clamping for the pin 7, ensuring its stability within the receiving groove 4 and preventing displacement. Next, the mounting block 3, along with the pin 7 and locking blocks 6, is inserted into the mounting groove 2 on one side of the mounting base 1. The second protrusions 9 on both sides of the mounting block 3 abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove 2, restricting movement of the mounting block 3. Simultaneously, the first protrusion 8 on the locking block 6 is in close contact with the inner wall of the mounting groove 2, further securing the locking block 6 and preventing the pin 7 from loosening during use. When installing the connecting seat 10 of the mounting base 1, the pin 7 is inserted into the first retaining groove 5 on one side of the connecting seat 10. Block 14 is inserted into the slot 11 on one side of the mounting base 1, the retaining ring 15 on the inner wall of the connector 10 is engaged in the second retaining groove 12 on the outer wall of the mounting base 1, and the positioning post 13 at the bottom of one side of the mounting base 1 is inserted into the positioning hole 16 at the bottom of one side of the connector 10, so as to achieve precise docking with the mounting base 1 and ensure accurate positioning during docking. When docking the wire harness, the guide groove 18 on the inner wall of the connector 10 guides the wire harness plug to be inserted in the correct direction, and the sliding groove 19 reduces the frictional resistance during docking, making the insertion process smoother. The four rectangular array mounting feet 17 at the bottom of the mounting base 1 stably fix the overall structure on the electronic device, avoiding tilting or shaking during use, and the pins 7 made of metal copper ensure efficient and stable transmission of electrical signals.
