Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a positioning and locking device, in particular to a connector positioning and locking device and electromechanical equipment.
Background
Various types of connectors are used in many electromechanical devices, such as electrical connectors used in vehicles, whose functions are mainly to complete the electrical connection, to transmit electrical signals and power, and to ensure that the electrical connection remains continuous and uninterrupted throughout the life of the vehicle, while ensuring that the mechanical connection is robust and free of faults. The function of the connector is realized by firstly ensuring that the connector can be completely connected in place during installation and the situation of disconnection can not occur in the use process. If the above-mentioned functions are performed only by the structure of the connector itself, it is generally necessary to reduce the fastening force for easy installation and to increase the fastening force for enhancing the locking function, however, the above two objects are actually contradictory to each other and cannot be satisfied at the same time. Thus, the connector positioning device may be used to secure the components that are connected in place and provide additional latching functionality. If the connector is not properly installed, the connector positioning device will not be installed. The latching feature provides additional retention to the connector after the connector retention device is installed, to ensure that the connector remains attached during vibration or corrosive conditions.
However, the conventional connector positioning device has disadvantages in terms of structural configuration, safety and reliability, and convenience in operation. For example, as shown in fig. 1, a currently commonly used connector positioning device 10 'generally employs a locking mechanism 11', and after the connector positioning device is connected with a connector 20', the locking is confirmed through the locking mechanism 11', which has the problems of low mechanical connection strength, insufficient locking force, inconvenient installation, and the like.

In addition, for simplicity of the drawings, identical or similar parts and features may be indicated in the same drawing only in one or several places.
An embodiment of a connector alignment locking device according to the present invention to be installed and a corresponding perspective configuration of a connector are schematically illustrated in FIG. 2, and a side view of the connector alignment locking device after installation connection with the connector is further illustrated in FIG. 3.
The connector alignment locking device 10 may be made of any suitable material, such as plastic, metal, composite material, etc., which may be flexibly selected according to different application requirements. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the connector positioning and locking device 10 may include a first section 1, a second section 2, and an intermediate section 3 connected to each other. Wherein, a first positioning locking part 11 and a second positioning locking part 21 are respectively arranged on the first section 1 and the second section 2, so as to respectively engage with a first mating part 22 arranged on the first connector 20 and a second mating part 32 arranged on the second connector 30 when the connector positioning locking device 10 is mounted and connected with the corresponding first connector 20 and second connector 30, thereby locking the first connector 20 and the second connector 30 in place. That is, by performing the one-time mounting operation on the connector positioning and locking device 10, the locking of both the first connector 20 and the second connector 30 can be simultaneously completed, so that a more convenient connector double-locking operation step can be realized with a minimum number of product components, providing a more reliable and effective locking effect and locking holding force.
In practice, the pressing portion 32 may be provided on the middle section 3 of the connector positioning and locking device 10 for the user to perform the pressing operation to perform the above-mentioned mounting operation.
