Abstract
The present disclosure provides an electrical connector, including a housing, a locking mechanism, and an actuating component. The housing has a wire outlet side; a wire connected to an electrical connection point is led out of the housing from the wire outlet side; the locking mechanism may move to a locked position or a released position relative to the housing; at the locked position, the housing is fixed relative to another connector; and at the released position, the housing may be separated from the another connector.
Claims12
An electrical connector, used for being electrically connected to another matched connector, the electrical connector comprising a housing, a locking mechanism, and an actuating component, wherein
- at least one electrical connection point electrically connected to the another connector is received in the housing;
- the housing has a wire outlet side;
- a wire connected to the electrical connection point is led out of the housing from the wire outlet side;
- the locking mechanism moves to a locked position or a released position relative to the housing;
- at the locked position, the housing is fixed relative to another connector;
- at the released position, the housing is able to be separated from the another connector;
- the actuating component comprises a rotating shaft and a handle;
- the handle is connected to the rotating shaft to drive the rotating shaft to rotate;
- the rotating shaft is provided with an actuating structure;
- the actuating structure acts on the locking mechanism such that the locking mechanism is at the locked position or the released position;
- and a pull end of the handle is kept on the wire outlet side in the movement process;
- wherein the locking mechanism comprises a push member;
- the push member is pushed by the actuating structure to move along a front-back longitudinal direction;
- the rotating shaft is vertically arranged;
- a virtual axis of the rotating shaft is located on one transverse side of a virtual longitudinal central line of the push member;
- and the actuating structure extends towards the other side direction of the virtual longitudinal central line of the push member;
- wherein the push member comprises a front plate, a rear plate, and a longitudinal connection plate;
- the front plate and the rear plate are connected through the longitudinal connection plate;
- the push member pushes, through the actuating structure, the front plate to move forward or the rear plate to move backward;
- and the rotating shaft is close to the longitudinal connection plate.
An electrical connector, used for being electrically connected to another matched connector, the electrical connector comprising a flat housing, a locking mechanism, and an actuating component, wherein
- at least one electrical connection point electrically connected to another connector is received in the housing;
- the locking mechanism moves to a locked position or a released position relative to the housing;
- at the locked position, the housing is fixed relative to another connector;
- at the released position, the housing is able to be separated from the another connector;
- the actuating component comprises a rotating shaft and a handle;
- the handle is connected to the rotating shaft to drive the rotating shaft to rotate;
- a surface swept by the rotation of the handle is parallel to a virtual flat extending surface of the housing;
- the rotating shaft has an actuating structure;
- and the actuating structure is used for making the locking mechanism at the locked position or the released position;
- wherein the locking mechanism comprises a push member;
- the push member is pushed by the actuating structure to move along a front-back longitudinal direction;
- the rotating shaft is perpendicular to the virtual flat extending surface;
- a virtual axis of the rotating shaft is located on one transverse side of a virtual longitudinal central line of the push member;
- and the actuating structure extends towards the other side direction of the virtual longitudinal central line of the push member.
