CONNECTOR CONNECTION STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18329580 titled 'CONNECTOR CONNECTION STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a connector with a main body, a rotating ring, and a restricting pin. The rotating ring can be rotated to connect with a second connector in an axial direction. The restricting pin allows the rotation of the rotating ring when the second connector is in the abutting position.
- The connector includes a main body, a first connecting surface, a rotating ring, and a restricting pin.
- The rotating ring can be rotated to connect with a second connector in the axial direction.
- The restricting pin prohibits the rotation of the rotating ring relative to the first connecting surface.
- When the rotating ring is in a predetermined rotational phase with respect to the second connector, it can be drawn in the axial direction to the abutting position.
- The second connector can be engaged with a portion of the first connecting surface by rotating relative to it while being retracted to the abutting position.
- The restricting pin allows the rotation of the rotating ring from the restricting position to the allowable position when the second connector is retracted to the abutting position.
Potential Applications
- Electrical connectors
- Mechanical connectors
- Automotive connectors
- Aerospace connectors
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the connection process between connectors
- Provides a secure and reliable connection
- Allows for easy disconnection and reconnection
Benefits
- Efficient and quick connection process
- Prevents accidental disconnection
- Provides a strong and stable connection
Original Abstract Submitted
The first connector includes a main body, a first connecting surface, a rotating ring, and a restricting pin for prohibiting the rotation of the rotating ring relative to the first connecting surface, the rotating ring, when taking a predetermined rotational phase with respect to the second connector, the second connector to the abutting position, can be drawn in the axial direction, further, the second connector is engaged with a portion of the second connector by rotating relative to the first connecting surface in a state of being retracted to the abutting position to maintain a connection state, the restricting pin, when the second connector is retracted to the abutting position, the rotation of the rotating ring from the restricting position to allow the rotation of the allowable position.
