An underwater electrical connector

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of electric connectors, and discloses an underwater electric connector. The underwater electric connector comprises a plug and a socket, wherein the plug and the socket can be connected in an inserted mode; a first permanent magnet is arranged on the plug; a second permanent magnet is arranged on the socket; the first permanent magnet and / or the secondpermanent magnet can move along the insertion direction of the plug and the socket; and when the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet attract correspondingly, the plug and the socketare in an alignment state. The underwater electric connector provided by the invention is easy to align, simple to operate, time-saving and convenient for later maintenance and replacement; and the working efficiency of technicians can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrical connectors, in particular to an underwater electrical connector. Background technique [0002] Underwater electrical connectors are important equipment for underwater power distribution, control and electrical protection. In recent years, with the continuous development of underwater operation technology, the application of underwater electrical connectors has become more and more extensive. [0003] The existing underwater electrical connectors are basically locked by means of threads on the plug and socket. This locking method requires a large operating space, and it is not easy to align the plug and socket due to the influence of seawater flow. Accurate, time-consuming, difficult to operate, and inconvenient for later maintenance and replacement, which is not conducive to the use of underwater electrical connectors in the technical field of underwater cable connection equipment.
