The cable connectors 05 are used to connect a lighting fixture or other electrical appliances on the storage rack to an external power source by providing them inside the support frame 02 of the storage rack. The cable connectors 05 include a power outlet joint 06 and a power inlet joint 07 that are cylindrical and mutually cooperated. By designing the cable connectors 05 as a cylindrical shape, compared to other shapes such as squares and trapezoids, the cable connectors 05 can smoothly pass through the installation channel 04 during installation.

During use, when the plug-in column 10 on the power outlet joint 06 is inserted into the connection hole 14 on the power inlet joint 07, the pin terminal will also be inserted into the socket terminal. An electrical connection is achieved through a contact between the pin terminal and the socket terminal. As the reinforcing column 09 is provided on the power outlet joint 06, the reinforcing column 09 is located between the plug-in column 10 and the grip column 08 and has a diameter larger than that of the plug-in column 10. When both the plug-in column 10 and the grip column 08 are subjected to an external force, a stress concentration can be reduced by the reinforcing column 09, the external force was dispersed or transmitted from the plug-in column 10 and the grip column 08, thereby avoiding a phenomenon of easy breakage of the plug-in column 10 and improving its service life.
Both the power outlet joint 06 and the power inlet joint 07 are provided with wires, and one end of the wire located in the power outlet joint 06 is connected to the socket terminal; the other end thereof is extended through the reinforcing column 09 and the grip column 08 to an outside of the power outlet joint 06. One end of the wire located in the power inlet joint 07 is electrically connected to the pin terminal, and the other end thereof is extended through the connection column 12 to an outside of the power inlet joint 07.
Both the grip column 08 and the connection column 12 are provided with protective wires 16, and the wires located outside the power outlet joint 06 and the power inlet joint 07 are all located in the protective wires 16. When two protection wires 16 are integrated. The power outlet joint 06 and the power inlet joint 07 are connected as a whole through the protective wire 16. During use, two or more cable connectors 05 are placed in the support frame 02 of the storage rack, the power outlet joint 06 of one cable connector 05 is inserted into the power inlet joint 07 of the other cable connector 05, the two cable connectors 05 are combined, which are equivalent to providing the power outlet joint 06 and the power inlet joint 07 at two ends of the protective wire 16 (as shown in
At the same time, a dispersing block 18 is provided at one end of the protective wire 16, and a plurality of connection wire 17 with a same structure as the protective wire 16 can be provided at the other end of the dispersing block 18. Each end of the connection wires 17 is provided with the power outlet joint 06, and the other end of the protective wire 16 is provided with the power inlet joint 07 (as shown in
Due to a fact that the cable connectors 05 in the present application are used for transmitting power, in order to ensure that no error between adjacent cable connectors 05 when the cable connectors 05 are connected. Therefore, a guide block 19 is provided along an axial direction in the connection hole 14 of the power inlet joint 07, and a guide groove 20 that is compatible with the guide block 19 is provided on an outer surface of the plug-in column 10 of the power outlet joint 06. When in use, it is achieved through a cooperation of the guide block 19 and the guide groove 20, thereby preventing an operator from making directional errors when connecting the two cable connectors 05, and improving the safety.
To prevent a phenomenon of easy detachment of the two cable connectors 05 after connection. A clamp hole 21 that is radically penetrated is provided on the socket 13. An axis of the clamp hole 21 is perpendicular to an axis of the guide block 19. An outer surface of the plug-in column 10 is symmetrically provided with a clamp column 22 that is compatible with the clamp hole 21. An axis of the clamp column 22 is perpendicular to an axis of the guide groove 20.
