Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connectors, and in particular to a connector. Background Technology

[0002] Existing connectors typically have the cables laid out in the same direction as the connector's insertion direction (i.e., the direction in which the connector's terminals are laid out). This means that when the gap between the connector interface on the device and the installation space is small (this installation space can be called a narrow installation space), the cables can hinder the device from being accommodated in the narrow installation space, affecting the device's installation.

[0003] In view of the above problems, it is necessary to study a new type of connector that can solve the problem of cables hindering equipment installation in narrow installation spaces. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel connector that can solve the problem of cables hindering equipment installation in narrow installation spaces.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is: A connector includes a connector body, a plurality of connecting terminals, and a plurality of cables in the same number as the connecting terminals; each connecting terminal is connected to the connector body, the connecting terminals are arranged side by side along the Y-axis, and the axial direction of each connecting terminal is arranged along the X-axis; each cable is connected to the connector body and each cable is electrically connected to each connecting terminal, the main body segment of each cable protrudes from the same side of the connector body, the main body segments of each cable are arranged side by side along the Z-axis, and the axial direction of the main body segment of each cable is arranged along the Y-axis.

[0006] The maximum length of the connector body along the X-axis is 99±5mm, and the maximum height of the connector body along the Z-axis is 90±5mm.

[0007] The cable includes a wire connection segment, a wire twist segment, and a wire body segment. The wire twist segment is twisted and its two ends are respectively connected to the wire connection segment and the wire body segment. The axial direction of the wire connection segment is along the X-axis. The wire connection segments of each cable are respectively connected to each connecting terminal. The wire connection segments of each cable are arranged side by side along the Y-axis. The connector body completely covers the wire connection segments and wire twist segments of each cable, and partially covers the wire body segment of each cable.

[0008] The order in which the main body segments of each cable are arranged is different from the order in which the connecting segments of each cable are arranged.

[0009] The connector body includes a connected terminal block and a main body. The terminal block connects to each connecting terminal. The main body is glued to the terminal block and each cable. The main body completely covers the wire connection section and wire twist section of each cable, and partially covers the main body section of each cable.

[0010] The terminal block is fitted with spring clips on both sides.

[0011] One end of the spring clip is connected to the terminal block, and the other end of the spring clip has a buckle hole, which is far away from the main body block.

[0012] The terminal block is fitted with a rotatable locking rod, the axial direction of which is along the X-axis. The two ends of the locking rod are respectively provided with a handle and a locking plate, with the locking plate being away from the main body.

[0013] The terminal block is glued to each connecting terminal.

[0014] The terminal block forms a protective sleeve that covers the periphery of the connecting terminal.

[0015] After adopting the above solution, the connector terminals of this utility model are arranged side by side along the Y-axis and the axial direction of each connector terminal is arranged along the X-axis. In this way, the connector terminals of this utility model are inserted into the connection interface of the device along the X-axis (i.e., the insertion direction of the connector of this utility model is the X-axis). The main body segments of each cable of this utility model are arranged side by side along the Z-axis and the axial direction of each cable main body segment is arranged along the Y-axis. This makes the space occupied by each cable of this utility model in the X-axis and Z-axis directions small. After the connector of this utility model is connected to the device, the area occupied by each cable of this utility model between the connection interface of the device and the narrow installation space is small, and it will not affect the placement of the device in the narrow installation space. Thus, it solves the problem that the cables of existing connectors will hinder the installation of the device in narrow installation spaces. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model discloses a connector, which includes a connector body 1, multiple connecting terminals 2, and multiple cables 3 in the same number as the connecting terminals 2. Each connecting terminal 2 is connected to the connector body 1, and the connecting terminals 2 are arranged side-by-side along the Y-axis, with the axial direction of each connecting terminal 2 aligned along the X-axis. Each cable 3 is connected to the connector body 1 and electrically connected to each connecting terminal 2. The main body segment 31 of each cable 3 protrudes from the same side of the connector body 1, and the main body segment 31 of each cable 3 is arranged side-by-side along the Z-axis, with the axial direction of the main body segment 31 aligned along the Y-axis. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are mutually perpendicular.

[0026] In this invention, the connector terminals 2 are arranged side-by-side along the Y-axis and the axial direction of each terminal 2 is along the X-axis. This allows the connector terminals 2 to be inserted into the device's interface along the X-axis (i.e., the insertion direction of the connector is the X-axis). Meanwhile, the main body segments 31 of each cable 3 are arranged side-by-side along the Z-axis and the axial direction of each cable 3 is along the Y-axis. This minimizes the space occupied by each cable 3 in both the X-axis and Z-axis directions. Consequently, after the connector is connected to the device, the area occupied by each cable 3 between the device's interface and the narrow installation space is minimized, preventing interference with device placement within the narrow space. This solves the problem of existing connector cables hindering device installation in narrow spaces.

[0027] In an embodiment of this utility model, the dimensional parameters of the connector body 1 can be as follows: the maximum length L of the connector body 1 along the X-axis is 99±5mm, the maximum height H of the connector body 1 along the Z-axis is 90±5mm, and the maximum width W of the connector body 1 along the Y-axis is 100±5mm.

[0028] In an embodiment of this utility model, the cable 3 may include a wire connecting segment 32, a wire twisting segment 33, and a wire body segment 31. The wire twisting segment 33 is twisted and its two ends are respectively connected to the wire connecting segment 32 and the wire body segment 31. The axial direction of the wire connecting segment 32 is arranged along the X-axis, and the axial direction of the wire body segment 31 is arranged along the Y-axis. The wire connecting segment 32 of each cable 3 is connected to each connecting terminal 2, thereby electrically connecting each cable 3 to each connecting terminal 2. The wire connecting segments 32 of each cable 3 are arranged side by side along the Y-axis. The connector body 1 completely covers the wire connecting segment 32 and the wire twisting segment 33 of each cable 3 and partially covers the wire body segment 31 of each cable 3, thereby fixing each cable 3. The arrangement order of the main body segments 31 of each cable 3 is different from the arrangement order of the connecting segments 32 of each cable 3, which facilitates the twisting setting of the twisting segments 33 of each cable 3. For example, taking four cables 3 as an example, the four cables 3 are respectively labeled A, B, C, and D; the arrangement order of the main body segments 31 of the four cables 3 is A, B, C, and D, while the arrangement order of the connecting segments 32 of the four cables 3 is A, D, B, and C.

[0029] In an embodiment of this utility model, the connector body 1 may include a connected terminal block 11 and a main body 12. The terminal block 11 connects to each connecting terminal 2. The main body 12 is glued to the terminal block 11 and each cable 3. The main body 12 completely covers the wire connection segment 32 and wire twist segment 33 of each cable 3. The main body 12 partially covers the wire body segment 31 of each cable 3. The connector of this utility model can be assembled as follows: First, the terminal block 11 is combined with each connecting terminal 2; then, the wire connection segment 32 of each cable 3 is connected to each connecting terminal 2 respectively; next, the wire twist segment 33 of each cable 3 is twisted so that the main body segment 31 of each cable 3 is arranged side by side along the Z-axis and the axial direction of the main body segment 31 of each cable 3 is set along the Y-axis; finally, the main body 12 is injection molded on the terminal block 11 and each cable 3 so that the main body 12 is connected to the terminal block 11, the main body 12 completely covers the wire connection segment 32 and the wire twist segment 33 of each cable 3 and the main body 12 partially covers the main body segment 31 of each cable 3.

[0030] In an embodiment of this utility model, the terminal base 11 can be glued to each connecting terminal 2, and the terminal base 11 can form a protective sleeve 111 covering the periphery of the connecting terminal 2 to protect the connecting terminal 2; each connecting terminal 2 can protrude from the connector body 1.

[0031] In an embodiment of this utility model, spring clips 4 are respectively fitted on both sides of the terminal base 11. The spring clips 4 are used to engage with the connection interface of the device to improve the connection stability between the connector of this utility model and the device. One end of the spring clip 4 is connected to the terminal base 11 (such as by riveting or screw locking), and the other end of the spring clip 4 is provided with a snap hole 41, which is used to engage with the snap hole 41 of the connection interface. The snap hole 41 is away from the main body base 12.

[0032] In an embodiment of this utility model, the terminal block 11 may be fitted with a rotatable locking rod 5. The axial direction of the locking rod 5 is set along the X-axis. The two ends of the locking rod 5 are respectively provided with a handle 51 and a locking piece 52. The locking piece 52 is away from the main body 12. When the connector of this utility model is inserted into the connection interface of the device, the locking rod 5 can be rotated by the handle 51, so that the locking piece 52 of the locking rod 5 rotates to a position that forms an X-axis direction limit with the connection interface, thereby preventing the connector of this utility model from falling off.

[0033] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
