1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to plug devices, and particularly to a plug device for two connectors.
2. Description of Related Art
Generally, a first connector is manually inserted into or extracted from a second connector. However, if an insertion force and an extraction force are uneven, damage may be caused to the two connectors when in assembly or disassembly. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean “at least one.”
The plug device includes a base 10, an operation platform 20, a guiding rail 30, a sliding member 50, two pressing blocks 60, and a handling assembly 300.
The base 10 defines a plurality of first locking holes 11. The operation platform 20 and the guiding rail 30 are secured to the base 10. The operation platform 20 defines a receiving slot 21 and two limiting slots 23 extending from opposite edges of the receiving slot 21.
The guiding rail 30 is step-shaped and includes a mounting base 31, a holding block 32 extending from the mounting base 31, and a limiting block 35 extending from the holding block 32. The mounting base 31 defines a plurality of mounting holes 311 located on opposite sides of the holding block 32. A sliding channel 40 is defined between the guiding rail 30 and the operation platform 20. A placing platform 25 extends from the operation platform 20 into the sliding channel 40. The placing platform 25 is used for the placement of the first connector 100.
Each pressing block 60 includes a resisting block 61 and a mounting block 63, that is substantially perpendicularly connected to the resisting block 61. The resisting block 61 defines two through holes 611 extending through the mounting block 63.
The handling assembly 300 includes a securing base 301, a rotating piece 302, a handle 303, and a sliding post 305. The securing base 301 defines a plurality of second locking holes 3011 corresponding to the plurality of first locking holes 11. A socket 306 is located on the securing base 301. The rotating piece 302 is rotatably mounted to the securing base 301. The handle 303 is secured to the rotating piece 302. The sliding post 305 is slidably received in the socket 306 with a first end rotatably mounted to the rotating piece 302. A second end of the sliding post 305 includes a threaded portion 3051. The handle 303 is rotatable relative to the securing base 301 to slide the sliding post 305 in the socket 306 via the rotating piece 302.
The handle 303 is operable to slide the sliding member 50 between a first position and a second position. When the sliding member 50 is in the first position, a first angle is defined between the handle 303 and the base 10, the positioning block 519 abuts the guiding rail 30, and a first distance is defined between the mounting plate 53 and the guiding rail 30. When the sliding member 50 is in the second position, a second angle is defined between the handle 303 and the base 10, the positioning block 519 abuts the operation platform 20, and a second distance is defined between the mounting plate 53 and the guiding rail 30. The first angle is greater than the second angle. The first distance is greater than the second distance. An extending direction of each limiting slot 23 and the positioning slot 518 is substantially perpendicular to a sliding direction of the sliding member 50.
In disassembly of the first connector 100 from the second connector 200, the handle 303 is rotated away from the base 10, the rotating piece 302 is rotated relative to the securing base 301 together with the handle 303 and slides the sliding post 305 in the socket 306. The sliding post 305 pulls the sliding member 50 to slide away from the operation platform 20. The first connector 100 is then pulled away from the second connector 200. Until the sliding member 50 is in the first position, the first connector 100 is disengaged from the second connector 200.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and the arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure, to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
