RU122804U1 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR TRANSMISSION OF ENERGY AND DATA - Google Patents

Abstract

An electrical connector for power and data transmission, comprising a male part, inside which is installed an insulator with pins for electrical contact and a tip for a data bus contact, and a socket part, inside which an insulator is installed with sockets for electrical contact and a tip for a data bus contact, and a device for fixing the tips in a closed state, characterized in that the mating end of the plug part, provided with a sealing ring, has the ability to fit tightly into the inner cavity of the socket part to switch their contacts.

Description

The invention relates to an electrical connector for transmitting energy and data, which, along with the mechanical connection and disconnection of the electrical wires, simultaneously provides the mechanical connection and disconnection of a data bus, for example an optical information bus. Such an electrical connector can find application in the mining industry, in particular in mine automation.

Known electrical connector for the transmission of energy and data according to patent US 7213975, published 08.05.2007. This connector contains a male part, inside of which an insulator with pins for electrical contact and a tip for contacting the data bus is installed, and a female part, inside of which an insulator with sockets for electrical contact and a tip for contacting the data bus, as well as a device for fixing the tips in the closed state . The cylindrical plug and socket parts are made with the same outer diameters and are located end-to-end when their contacts are closed.

The disadvantage of this electrical connector is that it is possible that moisture can enter its contacts through the gap between the ends of the plug and socket parts, which is fraught with failure of the electrical connector.

The technical problem, which this utility model is aimed at, is to increase the reliability of the electrical connector due to the improvement of its moisture-proof properties.

The problem is solved in that the electrical connector for transmitting energy and data, as well as the prototype, contains a male part, inside of which an insulator with pins for electrical contact and a male end for contacting the data bus is installed, and a female part, inside of which an insulator with sockets for electrical contact and a socket tip for contact data bus, as well as a device for fixing the tips in the closed state. Unlike the prototype, the docking end of the male part, equipped with a sealing ring, has the ability to fit tightly into the internal cavity of the outlet part for switching their contacts.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by the following drawings of an electrical connector for transmitting energy and data:

figure 1 - electrical connector in the open state;

figure 2 - electrical connector in the closed state;

The electrical connector shown in figure 1, contains the male part 1 and the socket part 2, each of which is connected to provide tensile strength with the cable 3 and 4, respectively, using the surrounding crimp bushings (not shown). Cables 3 and 4 include at least one data bus, respectively 5 and 6, preferably of optical fiber, and several conductive cores 7.

The cylindrical socket and male parts 1 and 2 are preferably made of metal. The connecting end 8 of the male part 1, equipped with a sealing ring 9, has the ability to fit tightly into the internal cavity of the socket part 2 for switching their contacts. The sealing ring 9 is installed in the annular groove 10 of the fork part 1.

Inside the plug part 1, an insulator 11 is fixedly mounted with pins 12 to provide electrical contact and a tip 13 for contacting the data bus 5. Inside the socket part 2, a insulator 14 is fixedly mounted with sockets 15 for electrical contact and a tip 16 for contacting the data bus 6. Tips 13 and 16, the surrounding data buses, respectively 5 and 6, are provided with annular external flanges 17 and 18, respectively. The tip 16 is inserted into the locking device 19, including a guide sleeve 20 provided with annular internal recesses 21 and 22 mounted within the insulator 14 in the female part 2.

The clamp 23, which serves to hold the plug part 1 and the socket part 2 in the closed state, is made in the form of a U-shaped plug, which can be inserted with its ends into the through holes 24 of the socket part 2 along the annular groove 25 of the plug part 1.

Figure 2 shows the male part 1, tightly inserted into the socket part 2. In this case, the tip 13 is inserted into the hollow end of the guide sleeve 20 until the tight contact of its frontal plane 26 with the frontal plane 27 of the tip 16. The tips 13 and 16 are kept closed by placement their annular outer flanges, respectively 17 and 18 in the annular inner recesses, respectively 21 and 22; pins 12 are inserted into slots 15.

The manufacture of the male part 1, the connecting end 8 of which is equipped with a sealing ring 9, with the ability to tightly enter the internal cavity of the socket part 2 for switching their contacts, improves the moisture-proof properties of the electrical connector, which generally increases its reliability.
