Abstract

A mistouch prevention locking structure includes a main body, a sleeve, and a pressing assembly. The main body with a plug channel formed inside, a combination groove recessed in the plug channel of the main body, and a hole penetrating from one side of the combination groove. The sleeve is disposed outside the main body and is provided with an opening. The pressing assembly has a ring body, a pressing body and a spring, the ring body is arranged in the combination groove, the pressing body is arranged inside the opening and is connected to the ring body through the hole, the spring is located between the pressing body and the main body. One end of the main body is provided with a stopper, the outer diameter of the stopper has the same height as a pressing surface of the pressing body or is slightly higher depth.

Claims (19)

1 . A mistouch prevention locking structure comprising:

a main body with a plug channel formed inside the main body, wherein a combination groove is in the plug channel of the main body, and a hole is penetrating from one side of the combination groove;

a sleeve disposed outside the main body and provided with an opening; and

a pressing assembly having a ring body, a pressing body and a spring, the ring body being arranged in the combination groove, the pressing body being arranged inside the opening and being connected to the ring body through the hole, the spring being located between the pressing body and the main body; wherein one end of the main body is radially provided with a stopper, an outer diameter of the stopper having the same radial height as a pressing surface of the pressing body or a radial height greater than the pressing surface.

2 . The mistouch prevention locking structure of claim 1 , wherein the ring body is a U shape, and two ends of the U shape being connected with the pressing body to respectively form two shoulders, the pressing body and the ring body together being a L shape.

3 . The mistouch prevention locking structure of claim 2 , wherein a lateral width of the opening of the sleeve is smaller than a shoulder width of the ring body, so that the ring body is pressed by the opening and is not detachable from the opening of the sleeve.

4 . The mistouch prevention locking structure of claim 1 , wherein the pressing body extends axially along the outer surface of the main body to form a flat plate, the flat plate having the pressing surface on one side for receiving force from users, and having a receiving surface on another side facing towards the main body.

5 . The mistouch prevention locking structure of claim 1 , wherein the outer diameter of the stopper is higher than the pressing surface of the pressing body.

6 . The mistouch prevention locking structure of claim 1 , wherein an inner circumference of the ring body forms a conical inclined slope toward a front end.

7 . The mistouch prevention locking structure of claim 1 , wherein a handle is provided at one end of an outer periphery of a rear section of the sleeve.

8 . The mistouch prevention locking structure of claim 1 , wherein the main body is provided with a fixing hole at an inner periphery near a rear end of the main body and a pin provided slidably in the fixing hole and wherein the sleeve has at least one pin combination hole, the pin combination hole corresponding to the fixing hole for the pin to pass through.

9 . A female connector structure comprising:

a female connector being provided with an annular groove on its outer surface near a front end thereof; and

a mistouch prevention locking structure comprising:

a main body with a plug channel formed inside the main body, wherein a combination groove is in the plug channel of the main body, and a through hole is penetrating from one side of the combination groove;

a sleeve disposed outside the main body and provided with an opening; and

a pressing assembly having a ring body, a pressing body and a spring, the ring body being arranged in the combination groove, the pressing body being arranged inside the opening and being connected to the ring body through the hole, the spring being located between the pressing body and the main body; wherein the main body of the mistouch prevention locking structure is provided with a fixing hole at an inner periphery near a rear end of the main body and corresponding to the ring groove, a pin being provided in the fixing hole, and the pin being slidable in and corresponding to an annular groove of the female connector, so that the mistouch prevention locking structure can rotate axially relative to the female connector.

10 . The female connector structure of claim 9 , wherein the sleeve has at least one pin combination hole, the pin combination hole being corresponding to the fixing hole for the pin to pass through.

11 . The female connector structure of claim 9 , wherein one end of the main body is radially provided with a stopper, an outer diameter of the stopper having the same radial height as a pressing surface of the pressing body or a radial height greater than the pressing surface.
