As shown in fig. 3 and 9, when the limiting member 12 is in the stop position, the limiting member is in stop engagement with the end 23 of the second overhang portion 7 of the locking member 3 through the limiting baffle 15, and at this time, the operator cannot push the operation portion of the locking member 3, thereby preventing the connector from being unlocked by mistake.
When the connector is unlocked, as shown in fig. 8 and 10, the restricting member 12 is slid to the escape position, the restricting shutter 15 avoids the end 23 of the second overhang 7, and the operator can press the operating portion of the lock member 3 to rotate the lock member 3 to the unlock position, thereby releasing the lock between the connector and the mating connector 8. The restricting member 12 serves as a second re-locking structure for locking and restricting the movement of the locking member 3.
Because the limiting part 12 moves 1 along the thickness direction of the flat box-shaped shell 1, during unlocking operation, an operator can press the bottom surface of the first shell 4, which is back to the second shell 5, with one finger as a force application point, and the other finger pulls the operating end 13 to unlock the limiting part 12, in the process, the finger of the operator cannot be close to the outgoing line, so that the operator cannot mistakenly touch the outgoing line to cause operation violation.
In order to enable the limiting component 12 to be stably positioned at the stop position or the avoidance position after the position adjustment, as shown in fig. 8, a locking block 19 is further installed in the first housing 4, the locking block 19 is provided with two locking grooves 20 which are arranged in parallel along the thickness direction of the flat box-shaped housing, correspondingly, the elastic buckle 16 is provided with a locking protrusion 24 which is matched with the locking grooves 20, and the locking protrusion 24 locks the limiting component 12 at the stop position or the avoidance position by being locked in different locking grooves 20. When the limiting component 12 is moved, the elastic force of the elastic buckle 16 needs to be overcome to deform the limiting component, so that the clamping protrusion 24 can slide from one clamping groove 20 to the other clamping groove 20, and the position of the limiting component 12 is changed between the stopping position and the avoiding position. In other embodiments, the locking piece may be integrally formed with the first housing. The elastic buckle can also be a reed arranged on the end face of the operation end facing the connecting plate, the reed stretches towards the connecting plate and is matched with the clamping groove to lock the position of the limiting part.
When the locking protrusion 24 slides from one card slot 20 to the other card slot 20, a click sound can be emitted, and when the operator cannot directly observe the limiting component 12 due to the fact that the connector is shielded by other components, whether the limiting component 3 moves to the target position can be judged through the click sound.
In addition, in order to further improve the stability and reliability of the locking connection of the connector, in the present embodiment, the end surface of the locking member 3 that engages with the limiting member 12 is an inclined surface that is inclined toward the first housing 4, and when the connector is subjected to a shock impact so that the locking member 3 rotates toward the unlocking position, the locking member 3 has a component force toward the second housing 5 by a thrust force that is applied to the limiting member 12 by the inclined surface, and the component force causes the limiting member 12 to be stably held in the blocking position.
Based on the fact that the size of the connecting plate 14 in the thickness direction of the flat box-shaped shell 1 is larger than that of the operating end 13, in order to facilitate visual and quick confirmation of whether the limiting component 12 is in the stopping position by a maintainer, the part, close to the second shell 5, of the plate surface of the connecting plate 14 facing the operating end 13 and the edge of the through groove of the second shell 5 are painted red as marks, when the limiting component is in the stopping position, the marks on the connecting plate 14 are located in the flat box-shaped shell 1 and cannot be seen, meanwhile, the operating end 13 blocks the marks on the second shell 5, that is, if the red marks cannot be seen, the limiting component 12 is in the stopping position, otherwise, if the marks are seen in the routing inspection process, the limiting component 12 of the connector is not in the stopping position, and at this time, the limiting component 12 needs to be shifted to the stopping position. In other embodiments, it is also possible to provide a mark on the connecting plate at a portion of the plate surface of the connecting plate 14 toward the operating end 13 near the first housing 4, and the mark can be viewed when the restricting member is in the position to stop the locking member.
Embodiment 2 of the connector according to the present invention is different from the above-described embodiments in that, in this embodiment, an i-shaped structure formed by the operating end, the connecting arm, and the connecting plate is replaced by a rod-shaped member, the rod-shaped member extends in a length direction along a thickness direction of the flat box, both ends of the rod-shaped member protrude from both end side walls of the flat box-shaped housing, and the rod-shaped member is mounted on the flat box-shaped housing in a circumferentially locked manner. The elastic buckle and the limiting baffle are fixed on the part of the rod-shaped limiting component in the flat box-shaped shell. When the rod-like regulating member is unlocked and locked, the end of the rod-like regulating member is pressed in the thickness direction of the flat box-like casing.
Embodiment 3 of the connector according to the present invention is different from embodiment 1 in that the locking member is S-shaped, the S-shaped locking member is installed in the flat box-shaped housing so as to be guided and moved in a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the flat box-shaped housing, the lower end of the S-shaped locking member is a locking hook, and the upper end thereof is adapted to be engaged with the restricting member in a retaining manner. The limiting component and the locking buckles of the adapter connector are positioned on two sides of the S-shaped locking component along the moving direction of the S-shaped locking component during unlocking, the bent part of the S-shaped locking component, which is close to one end matched with the limiting component, is used as an operating part and is exposed out of the flat box-shaped shell, a pressure spring is arranged between the flat box-shaped shell and the S-shaped locking component and is used as an elastic reset piece, and the S-shaped locking component moves between a locking position and an unlocking position through guiding movement in the flat box-shaped shell.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the present invention, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, and all structural changes that can be made by using the contents of the description and the drawings of the present invention are intended to be embraced therein.
