Abstract
The disclosure relates to a connection component, a connector, a patch cord and a connector inner shell. The connection component is configured to achieve electric connection and includes two connectors. The two connectors have same butt-joint structures and are in a butt joint through the butt-joint structures, the connectors have locking mechanisms, in a locking state, the locking mechanisms lock the two connectors, and the two connectors may be separated after the locking mechanisms are switched to an unlocking state.
Claims10
A connector, wherein one end of the connector is provided with a butt-joint structure for a butt joint with another connector, the connector has a locking mechanism, and the locking mechanism comprises a locking part for locking the connector and the another connector after the butt joint and an actuating part configured to switch between a locking state and an unlocking state of the locking part;
- wherein the connector comprises a housing and a plug, the plug extends out of one end of the housing, the housing has a slot for being plugged by a plug of the another connector, and the butt-joint structure comprises the slot and the plug;
- and
- a locking matching structure is disposed on a surface of the plug facing away from the slot, and the locking part of the connector is matched with a locking matching structure of the another connector plugged into the slot to lock two of the connectors;
- wherein the housing comprises an inner housing, the slot is located in the inner housing, the locking part is a first elastic sheet formed on the inner housing and is maintained in the unlocking state by utilizing self-elasticity, and the actuating part is movably disposed on the housing and has a first position where the locking part is pressed to extend into the slot to be in the locking state and a second position where the actuating part is separated from the locking part;
- and
- wherein the housing further comprises an outer housing sleeving the inner housing, an operation space exists between the outer housing and the inner housing, the locking part in the unlocking state is located in the operation space, and the actuating part is movably disposed on the outer housing and has an actuating portion extending into the operation space and configured to press the locking part.
