If it is not cleaned before the next use, it will cause an electrical short circuit after plugging in. If you want to avoid the above situation, you need to manually clean the mud splashed inside the annular connector before each use. Due to the limited internal space of the annular connector, special cleaning tools are required for manual cleaning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a self-cleaning waterproof annular electrical connector, comprising an annular connector 1 and a hole-type connector 2 for connecting an inner tube 3 and an outer tube 5, the outer wall of the inner tube 3 is provided with a clamping ring 4, the annular connector 1 is fixed to the outer wall of the inner tube 3 by the clamping ring 4, and the outer wall of the inner tube 3 is fixed with a plurality of sealing rings a7 distributed at equal intervals, after the annular connector 1 and the hole-type connector 2 are plugged in, the inner wall of the outer tube 5 is sealed by squeezing the sealing ring a7, the clamping ring 4 is located on the side of the sealing ring a7 away from the outer tube 5, and a screw ring 6 is provided inside the opening of one end of the outer tube 5 facing the inner tube 3, and the hole-type connector 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer tube 5 by the screw ring 6.

[0022] Among them, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the annular connector 1 includes an insulating base a16, a contact a11, a drum spring contact 12, a sealing ring b13, a water-absorbing rubber ring 14 and a cleaning rubber ring 15. The insulating base a16 is made by injection molding technology. The injection molding material of the insulating base a16 is polyetheretherketone (PEEK). PEEK is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer with good high temperature resistance, high strength, chemical corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation performance. The insulating base a16 prepared by PEEK can meet the requirements of electrical connectors for strength, electrical insulation, and high temperature resistance. Figure 8As shown, the outer wall of the insulating substrate a16 is also provided with a plurality of grooves a17 for mounting the contact piece a11, the sealing ring b13, the water-absorbing rubber ring 14, and the cleaning rubber ring 15. The contact piece a11 is fixed on the outer wall of the insulating substrate a16 by injection molding, and the number of the contact pieces a11 is multiple, and the multiple contact pieces a11 are evenly spaced. The contact piece a11 is made of brass material and is gold-plated. Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the contact piece a11 is an annular structure as a whole, and a flat copper sheet a111 is fixed on one side of the contact piece a11. The copper sheet a111 extends from one end of the insulating base a16 away from the outer tube 5, and a through hole a is opened at the end of the copper sheet a111. The setting of the through hole a helps to weld the wire and the copper sheet a111 together.

[0023] Further, such as Figure 9-14 As shown, a drum spring installation groove 112 is processed on the outer wall of the contact piece a11, and the drum spring contact piece 12 is installed in the drum spring installation groove 112. After the annular connector 1 and the hole-type connector 2 are plugged in, the contact piece b21 squeezes the drum spring contact piece 12 to produce deformation, which is used to strengthen the connection between the annular connector 1 and the hole-type connector 2; and the drum spring contact piece 12 is made of elastic metal. In this embodiment, beryllium bronze is selected. Beryllium bronze is a Wuxi bronze with beryllium as the main alloy component. Beryllium bronze has high hardness, elastic limit, fatigue limit and wear resistance. It also has good corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. It does not generate sparks when impacted and has high safety. The drum spring contact piece 12 is made of a metal sheet made of beryllium bronze, and its cross-sectional shape is as follows: Fig.12 As shown, it is then vacuum aging treated and gold-plated, and the inner diameter of the drum spring contact 12 is smaller than the outer diameter of the drum spring mounting groove 112. After the annular connector 1 and the female connector 2 are plugged in, the bulging part of the drum spring contact 12 is squeezed by the inner wall of the female connector 2, so that the drum spring contact 12 can use its own elastic force to apply pressure to the inner wall of the female connector 2, so as to achieve the effect of fixing the annular connector 1 and the female connector 2.

[0024] The water absorbing rubber ring 14 and the cleaning rubber ring 15 are located on the outer wall of one end of the insulating substrate a16 close to the outer tube 5. Figure 4 The water-absorbing rubber ring 14 and the cleaning rubber ring 15 are both provided in multiple numbers, and the multiple cleaning rubber rings 15 are evenly spaced and the multiple water-absorbing rubber rings 14 are evenly spaced. The water-absorbing rubber ring 14 is located on the side of the cleaning rubber ring 15 away from the outer tube 5. The shape of the water-absorbing rubber ring 14 is as shown in FIG. Fig.15As shown, the absorbent rubber ring 14 is made of hydrophilic material, such as absorbent cotton, which is a fiber material with excellent water absorption performance, usually made of pure cotton or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers, and has excellent water absorption performance. The cleaning rubber ring 15 is made of high-hardness rubber material so that it can use its own hardness to scrape off the mud stuck on the inner wall of the hole-type connector 2. The shape of the cleaning rubber ring 15 is as shown in FIG. Fig.16 shown.

[0025] like Figure 5-7 As shown, the hole-type connector 2 includes an insulating base b22 and a plurality of contacts b21. The inner wall of the insulating base b22 is provided with a plurality of grooves b23. The contacts b21 are installed inside some of the grooves b23. The insulating base b22 is made by injection molding technology. The injection molding material of the insulating base b22 is polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The insulating base b22 made of this material can meet the requirements of the electrical connector for strength, electrical insulation, and high temperature resistance. The contacts b21 are fixed on the inner wall of the insulating base b22 by injection molding. The plurality of contacts b21 are evenly spaced. The inner diameter of the insulating base b22 is consistent with that of the contacts b21, and there shall be no gap between the contact surfaces of the contacts b21 and the insulating base b22. Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, a copper sheet b211 is fixed at one end of the contact piece b21, and the copper sheet b211 extends from one end of the insulating base b22 away from the inner tube 3. A through hole b is opened at one end of the copper sheet b211 for welding wires.

[0026] Furthermore, the end of the insulating substrate b22 close to the inner tube 3 and the side of the cleaning rubber ring 15 facing the outer tube 5 are both processed with chamfers, such as Figure 7 and Fig.16 The chamfered setting can utilize the chamfered end of the insulating base b22 to squeeze the cleaning rubber ring 15 to scrape off the mud on the inner wall of the insulating base b22 and push the water absorbing rubber ring 14 to absorb the water on the inner wall of the insulating base b22 when the insulating base a16 is inserted into the insulating base b22.

[0027] In addition, it is worth noting that in this embodiment, the number of cleaning rubber rings 15 and the number of water absorbing rubber rings 14 are both set to two. Figure 4 The cleaning effect of the two cleaning rubber rings 15 and the cleaning effect of the two water absorbing rubber rings 14 can already meet the basic cleaning requirements. If the cleaning is difficult, the number of cleaning rubber rings 15 and water absorbing rubber rings 14 can be flexibly increased according to the actual situation, which is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] When in use, the female connector 2 installed in the outer tube 5 is at the bottom, and the annular connector 1 installed on the inner tube 3 is at the top. When the connectors are separated, the mud in the inner tube 3 will splash onto the female connector 2.

[0029] When the annular connector 1 and the female connector 2 are plugged in: first, the cleaning rubber ring 15 of the annular connector 1 enters the inner wall of the female connector 2 through the guiding effect of the chamfer of the insulating base b22 in the female connector 2, and by squeezing the cleaning rubber ring 15, a certain positive pressure is generated to push the mud on the inner wall of the female connector 2 downward. After the action of the two cleaning rubber rings 15 in the present invention, the mud in the female connector 2 can be basically cleaned up; then, the water-absorbing rubber ring 14 in the annular connector 1 enters the inner wall of the female connector 2 through the guiding effect of the chamfer of the insulating base b22 in the female connector 2, and utilizes the water-absorbing characteristics of the water-absorbing rubber ring 14 to absorb the small amount of water stains remaining in the female connector 2. The two water-absorbing rubber rings 14 in the present invention can thoroughly clean the residual water stains in the female connector 2; then, a sealing ring b13 is fixed on the outer wall of the insulating base a16, and the sealing ring b13 is located on the side of the water-absorbing rubber ring 14 away from the cleaning rubber ring 15. The sealing ring b13 enters the inner wall of the female connector 2 through the guiding effect of the chamfer of the insulating base b22 in the female connector 2, and squeezes the sealing ring b13 through the inner wall of the insulating base b22 to compress the gap, forming a sealing effect, thereby preventing the discharged water vapor from returning and entering the interior of the connector; finally, the drum spring contact 12 fixed on the contact a11 is in contact with the contact b21, and reliable and stable contact is achieved through the pressure generated by the deformation of the drum spring contact 12.

[0030] The water-absorbing rubber ring 14 and the cleaning rubber ring 15 of the present invention clean the inside of the connector during the plugging process, eliminating the cleaning operation of the traditional connector before plugging, greatly improving work efficiency, and simplifying the operation, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0031] When the annular connector 1 and the female connector 2 are plugged in place, the cleaning rubber ring 15 and the water-absorbing rubber ring 14 of the annular connector 1 enter a groove b23 of the insulating base b22 on the female connector 2, so as to avoid squeezing the cleaning rubber ring 15 and the water-absorbing rubber ring 14 and affecting the cleaning effect when plugged in next time. After being plugged in place, the sealing ring a7 at the front end of the inner tube 3 and the inner wall of the outer tube 5 are squeezed to achieve a sealing function. The present invention strengthens the sealing effect under the joint action of the sealing ring b13 and the sealing ring a7, thereby improving the safety of the present invention when used.

[0032] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
