Description

Vibration resistant electrical connector
Technical field
The present invention relates to electric connector; And more particularly, it relates to being commonly called " separating fast " connector and being used for commercial and industrial uses, especially the electric connector of the type in the industrial automation and the field of manufacturing.
Background technology
The quick disconnect connector that is used for the commercial and industrial application type involved in the present invention generally includes a public connector and a female connectors that matches.This public connector has the metal Connection Element of pin-like; And they be received in the female connectors that matches in the embedding corresponding jack or socket.These connectors have two to five electric poles usually and a ground connection connects.
An importance of quick disconnect connector is, its exist some mechanical connections with guarantee this public connector and female connectors together and keep be electrically connected continuous.Usually, in the connector of this type, this mother (or outer) connector has spiral marking connection parts that match (for example coupling nut); And this connector that matches has a spiral marking connection part that matches so that after setting up electrical connection, this coupling component provides the mechanical connection of fastening this electrical connection.Often reach in some coarse application of possibility in some processing connector, and connector is being installed on the machine and is making in its application that stands stage or lasting vibration, coupling nut just might come off from the screw-threaded engagement of itself and public connector, thereby causes the possibility neglecting or be not intended to separate.
Except above-described about owing to vibration or handle the problem make the possibility that this public connector separates with female connectors, existing quick disconnect connector also has a disadvantage to be: it needs a considerable fastening connection of time, mainly is be connected to another connector by manually the coupling nut of a connector being twisted.On absolute sense, the one single required time quantum of connector combination is installed may be not remarkable, but when consider the machine that in a large-scale manufacturing environment, has similar thousands of approximately this kind connector and use these connectors and control system need constantly be reset, detects and recombinate and through some months or year in, assembling and dismounting spiral marking connection nut required time are with regard to significant.
Total and the co-pending U.S. patent application case S.N.09/945 of application on September 4 calendar year 2001, disclosed a kind of antivibration quick disconnect connector that has for the threaded sections of flexible material for No. 970, this threaded sections makes public connector and female connectors as long as assembled by just pushing simply mutually.This female connectors has this flexibility threaded sections on a flexible wall, in the time of on being pushed to a public connector, and the engagement of its deflection to realize matching.
When the flexible screw thread coupling of this kind being installed to the corresponding supporting conventional connector of a screw thread with coupling pitch, its work gets fairly good.
The conventional connector of this kind has the screw thread of metal or rigidity plastics usually; And found that flexible threaded sections is satisfactory with being meshing with each other of the rigid material screw thread that matches fully, because simplified behavior that both connect and to because the opposing of the separation that vibration causes is acceptable.Yet, carry out under mother and the public intermeshing situation at the connector that matches that has flexible screw thread with two, connect owing to following two reasons still have deficiency: the first, seldom or can't sense of touch finish to this connection; The second, because the crest of flexible screw thread possibility specific rigidity screw thread is low slightly, to not reaching requirement owing to vibrate the opposing of the separation that causes.
Summary of the invention
The present invention contain electric connector a kind of (female connectors as shown in the Examples) have around cylindrical wall and separate with an insulation insert of the embedding Connection Element that jack type arranged.The cylindrical wall of this female connectors is made by molded plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and it has elasticity so that it can be out of shape when inserting supporting public connector, thereby need not any rotation or just torsional motion can receive and with the threaded sections that the matches engagement of this public connector.The cylindrical wall internal table mask of this female connectors has the first and second internal whorl discontinuous sections that are arranged in relativeness of locating on diameter.This means that an internal thread segment can be extended about 90 degree around the inside of this cylindrical wall; And second internal thread segment arranged with opposite or relativeness and is positioned on the inner surface of opposite sides of outer wall.Between these two threaded sections, there do not have screw thread and its can be on the wall to be smooth and cylindrical.
When being used to connect in the present invention, term " screw thread " not only comprises the conventional bolt thread that extends twist around central shaft, also comprise a series of alternately spiral shell ridge or crest and with the groove (being called as " parallel " screw thread sometimes) of connector longitudinal axis vertical arrangement.Conventional bolt thread is preferred object, because the public connector of finding in bolt thread of finding on they and many existing metals or the rigidity plastics coupling nut and the manufacturing works is compatible.Yet, when in the discontinuous sections that is in as revealed, will mesh and be assembled, because this screw thread is for flexible and be in discontinuous sections, so it is overlapped after assembling by pushing two connector parallel threads that match mutually.Parallel thread can provide abundant interlocking that the control of separating force or pulling force is separated unintentionally preventing within the required range.In addition, one " screw thread " comprises that at least two adjacent crest/grooves parallel or spiral make up.
The preferable external thread segments that on cylindrical outer surface, has corresponding opposite coupling of this public connector.With this public connector and female connectors insert bond together so that when the key of the keyway of this female connectors and this public connector on time, these coupling threaded sections are aligning mutually also.
Then with indivedual keys with after keyway is aimed at, can be by this public connector directly being pushed in this female connectors this public connector can being inserted in this female connectors.This public connector is being assembled in the process of this female connectors, when the external thread segments with this public connector is assembled on the threaded sections that matches of this female connectors, the wall deflection of this female connectors.In other words, the outer wall of this female connectors is deformed into ellipse so that the internal whorl of this female connectors overlaps on the respective threads section of this public connector.
In case these two connectors fit together, screw thread just be meshing with each other (no matter for parallel or spiral form).Because mutually key locks together and makes that this public connector just can't be with respect to this female connectors rotation,, this has greatly prevented the separation that causes by vibration so being connected.。In addition, having found can be with sizable adjustable pulling force (for example, in ten to 30 pounds scope) design is in the connector that assembles, and it depends on hardness and other key elements that are formed with employed material in the cylindrical wall of this female connectors of this threaded sections at molding.
The preferable connector that is used for improvement that reduces is substantially set up the required built-up time of electric power/mechanical connection.In addition, female connectors of the present invention (having bolt thread) is suitable for matching with the existing public connector with metal or other rigid outer screw threads, and the instantaneous connector with public type of flexible bolt thread is suitable for the interior metal screw thread assembling with existing rigid connection nut too.Public connector of the present invention directly can be pushed in the existing coupling nut on the female connectors, or if need, this coupling nut can be twisted on the threaded sections of this public connector of receiving according to the present invention to be constructed.
In order to improve the public connector that all has flexible screw thread and the connection of female connectors, the present invention provides an annular groove at the front end of one group of threaded sections, and it usually but not necessarily be positioned on this female connectors and be positioned at the surface, inside of this flexible wall.Base portion at the external screw-thread of this public connector provides a circumferential rib that matches or edge.When promoting the exercise group dress with these two connectors alignings and with linearity, threaded sections is overlapped, and the outer wall bending of this female connectors is to receive this public connector; And after meshing fully, the annular rim of this public connector and the annular groove of this female connectors mesh fast.The obvious sense of touch of finishing that this both provided about this connection provides the flexible thread separation of a firm mechanical connection to prevent that this from matching again.
And then, with the outer surface setting of the coating outer cover body of public affairs and female connectors and structure so that the both hands finger grip with separate.
