Technical Field

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

[0002] Commonly used electrical connectors on existing servers include board-end connectors and wire-end connectors, which are mated together. To improve the stability of the connection between the wire-end connector and the board-end connector and to prevent accidental separation due to collisions, the board-end connector is equipped with a locking block. The wire-end connector has a corresponding spring-loaded latch along the insertion direction to hold the locking block. The engagement of the spring-loaded latch and the locking block ensures a secure connection between the wire-end connector and the board-end connector. However, this means that when it is necessary to remove the wire-end connector, the engagement of the spring-loaded latch and the locking block must be released before the wire-end connector can be disconnected from the board-end connector, which is a cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive operation.

[0003] In view of the above problems, it is necessary to study a quick-release connector that can quickly and conveniently disconnect from the board-end connector. Utility Model Content

[0008] The connector body includes a base, a snap fastener, and at least one connecting terminal. The snap fastener and each connecting terminal are fixed to the base. The snap fastener is provided with a spring-loaded buckle. The connecting terminal is arranged along the length of the spring arm. The disassembly seat is slidably engaged with the base, and a reset spring is arranged between the disassembly seat and the base.

[0009] The disassembly seat and the reset spring are located between the latch and the base.

[0010] The base is provided with a connection channel corresponding to the connection terminal, and a limiting hole is opened on the side wall of the connection channel; the connection terminal is inserted into the connection channel and a limiting slot is provided for the connection terminal corresponding to the limiting hole; the connection terminal and the base are limited and engaged by a limiting member, and the limiting member is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole and the limiting slot; the limiting member is connected to a fastener, and the fastener is provided with a claw that catches the inner edge of the limiting hole.

[0035] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0036] Example 1: Cooperate Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a quick-release connector A according to this utility model includes a connector body 1 and a disassembly assembly 22. The connector body 1 is provided with a spring buckle 121, which has a spring arm 1211 and a latching block 1212 connected together. The spring arm 1211 protrudes from one side of the latching block 1212 and is used to latch the locking block B1 of the board end connector B. The side of the spring arm 1211 protruding from the latching block 1212 may be provided with a release ramp 12112. The disassembly assembly 22 includes a disassembly seat 21 and a return spring 22. The disassembly seat 21 slides and engages with the connector body 1 along the length direction of the spring arm 1211. The disassembly seat 21 is provided with a push block 211 that moves and abuts against the release ramp 12112. The return spring 22 of the disassembly seat 21 is disposed between the disassembly seat 21 and the connector body 1 and is used to drive the disassembly seat 21 to return to its original position.

[0037] Cooperate Figures 6 to 8As shown, when the quick-release connector A of this utility model is connected to the board-end connector B, the connector body 1 and the board-end connector B are plugged in and engaged, and the latching block 1212 of the spring latch 121 of the connector body 1 latches the locking block B1 of the board-end connector B. When the quick-release connector A of this utility model is to be disconnected from the board-end connector B, the user first moves the disassembly seat 21 relative to the connector body 1 in a direction away from the board-end connector B, so that the push block 211 of the disassembly seat 21 abuts against the release slope 12112 of the spring arm 1211 of the spring latch 121, so that the spring arm 1211 of the spring latch 121 deforms and the latching block 1212 of the spring latch 121 disengages from the locking block B1 of the board-end connector B (achieving release). Then, the disassembly seat 21 and the connector body 1 are moved further in a direction away from the board-end connector B, so that the connector body 1 and the board-end connector B are disengaged, thereby separating the quick-release connector A of this utility model from the board-end connector B. As can be seen from the foregoing, the quick-release connector A of this utility model can quickly and conveniently disconnect from the board-end connector B.

[0038] In the first embodiment of this utility model, the connector body 1 may include a base 11, a snap fastener 12, and at least one connecting terminal 13. The snap fastener 12 and each connecting terminal 13 are fixed to the base 11. The snap fastener 12 is provided with the spring buckle 121. The connecting terminal 13 is arranged along the length direction of the spring arm 1211. The disassembly seat 21 and the return spring 22 are located between the snap fastener 12 and the base 11. The disassembly seat 21 is slidably engaged with the base 11. The return spring 22 is arranged between the disassembly seat 21 and the base 11. The return spring 22 is used to reset the disassembly seat 21 so that the push block 211 of the disassembly seat 21 does not drive the spring arm 1211 of the spring buckle 121 to deform, so that the buckle block 1212 of the spring buckle 121 can stably fasten the buckle block B1 of the board end connector B.

[0039] In the first embodiment of this utility model, the base 11 of the connector body 1 may be provided with a sliding groove 111, the disassembly seat 21 is provided with a slider 212 that slides in contact with the sliding groove 111, the return spring 22 is housed in the sliding groove 111 and covered by the disassembly seat, and the two ends of the return spring 22 abut against the slider 212 and the groove wall of the sliding groove 111 respectively; with this arrangement, the return spring 22 is not easy to fall off.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the base 11 may be provided with a connection channel 112 corresponding to the connection terminal 13, and a limiting hole 113 is provided on the side wall of the connection channel 112; the connection terminal 13 is inserted into the connection channel 112 and a limiting slot 1311 is provided for the connection terminal 13 corresponding to the limiting hole 113; the connection terminal 13 and the base 11 are limited and engaged by the limiting member 3, and the limiting member 3 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 113 and the limiting slot 1311 so that the connection terminal 13 will not be disengaged from the connection channel 112.

[0041] In the first embodiment of this utility model, the base 11 may be provided with locking points 114 on both sides; and the fastener 12 may be provided with locking walls 122 on both sides, and the locking walls 122 may be provided with locking openings 1221; the locking openings 1221 of the locking walls 122 on both sides of the fastener 12 may be engaged with the locking points 114 on both sides of the base 11; thereby fixing the fastener 12 on the base 11; in addition, the fastener 12 may be connected to the limiting member 3, so that the limiting member 3 is not easy to fall off, and the limiting member 3 and the fastener 12 may be integrally injection molded; in addition, the fastener 12 is provided with a claw 123 that catches the inner edge of the limiting hole 113, which can further enhance the connection stability between the fastener 12 and the base 11.

[0042] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, the connector body 1 may have at least two connecting terminals 13, each connecting terminal 13 being connected to a wire harness 4 (i.e., the connector body 1 is equivalent to having at least two wire harnesses 4 connected to it); the connecting terminal 13 includes a terminal base 131, a spring tube 132, and a connecting piece 133. The spring tube 132 and the connecting piece 133 are made of conductive materials and are electrically connected. The terminal base 131 is glued to the spring tube 132 and the connecting piece 133. One end of the terminal base 131 forms a mounting hole 1312 for housing the spring tube 132. The other end of the terminal base 131 is connected to the connecting piece 133. The connecting piece 133 is welded to the wire harness 4. The connection between the connecting piece 133 and the wire harness 4 is protected by a heat-shrink tubing 5.

[0043] In the first embodiment of this utility model, the side of the spring arm 1211 of the spring buckle 121 that protrudes toward the buckle block 1212 may be provided with a groove 12111, and the side of the groove 12111 that is away from the buckle block 1212 forms the unfastening inclined surface 12112; the pushing block 211 of the disassembly seat 21 is provided with a pushing inclined surface 2111 that moves and abuts against the unfastening inclined surface 12112, thereby preventing the pushing block 211 and the spring arm 1211 from jamming each other.

[0044] In the first embodiment of this utility model, the disassembly assembly 22 further includes a disassembly handle 23 connected to the disassembly base 21. The disassembly handle 23 facilitates the user's application of force. When the quick-release connector A of this utility model is to be disconnected from the board-end connector B, the user directly grasps the disassembly handle 23 and moves the disassembly handle 23 in a direction away from the board-end connector B. The disassembly handle 23 will first drive the disassembly base 21 to move relative to the connector body 1 in a direction away from the board-end connector B, so that the latch 1212 of the spring buckle 121 disengages from the locking block B1 of the board-end connector B. After that, the disassembly handle 23 will drive the disassembly base 21 and the connector body 1 to continue to move together in a direction away from the board-end connector B, so that the connector body 1 and the board-end connector B are disengaged. The whole operation is very convenient. The detachable handle 23 may have a socket portion 231 and a handle portion 232. The socket portion 231 is fitted onto the connector body 1 and connected to the push-pull base. The handle portion 232 is used for the user to grip and apply force. The handle portion 232 is located on the side of the quick-release connector A away from the board-end connector B. The handle portion 232 may be completely offset from the connector body 1, so that the handle portion 232 will not occupy the space of the cabinet where the board-end connector B is located and the quick-release connector A of this invention is connected, and can ensure that there is enough space for the user to grip the handle portion 232 and conveniently apply force to the handle portion 232. The detachable handle 23 may include a connected upper handle cover 2301 and a lower handle cover 2302. A socket portion 231 is formed between the upper handle cover 2301 and the lower handle cover 2302. The upper handle cover 2301 is provided with the handle portion 232. The upper handle cover 2301 may be provided with a pull block 233 that is inserted and engaged with the detachable base.

[0045] Example 2: Cooperate Figures 9 to 15 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 of this utility model is that Embodiment 2 uses a disassembly pull rope 23' instead of the disassembly handle 23 of Embodiment 1. The user can directly grasp the disassembly pull rope 23' and move it away from the board end connector B, thereby separating the quick-release connector A of this utility model from the board end connector B; the disassembly pull rope 23' is located on the side of the quick-release connector A of this utility model away from the board end connector B.

[0046] In the second embodiment of this utility model, the two ends of the disassembly pull rope 23' are connected to the disassembly base 21 and the connector body 1, respectively. This makes the disassembly pull rope 23' a loop structure, facilitating gripping and force application by the user. Furthermore, the disassembly pull rope 23' passes between two adjacent wire harnesses 4, allowing the wire harnesses 4 to limit its movement and prevent it from snagging on other objects. The base 11 of the connector body 1 may have a through hole 115 corresponding to the disassembly base 21. The first end of the disassembly pull rope 23' passes through this through hole 115 and connects to the disassembly base 21. The second end of the disassembly pull rope 23' is connected to the side of the base 11 facing away from the disassembly base 21, and the fastener 12 covers the first end of the disassembly pull rope 23'. This arrangement restricts the first end of the disassembly pull rope 23', preventing it from affecting other connectors.

[0047] Example 3: Cooperate Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 2 of this utility model is that the base 11 of the connector body 1 in Embodiment 3 is further provided with a clearance groove 116 corresponding to the latching block 1212 of the spring latch 121. The clearance groove 116 provides space for the latching block 1212, allowing the size of the latching block 1212 to be larger, thereby helping to increase the amount of engagement between the spring latch 121 and the locking block B1 of the board connector B, and improving the connection stability between the quick-release connector A and the board connector B of this utility model. The clearance groove 116 can adopt a stepped groove structure design, and the clearance groove 116 can communicate with the sliding groove 111.

[0048] 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.
