Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cable connectors, and in particular to a heat-dissipating and waterproof connector. Background Art

[0002] Power line clamps are used to connect the main line end and the secondary line end of the power system, thereby achieving connection and conduction between the two. The selection of power line clamps must meet both the wire diameter requirements and the power performance requirements. At the connection point of the line clamp, conduction should be maintained between the line ends. In the existing technology, when the connector connects the main line and the branch line, a lot of heat will be generated due to the long-term high-load operation of the cable. The heat accumulates inside the connection. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, it may cause the temperature of the insulation layer connected to it to be too high, thereby accelerating the aging speed and even damaging the equipment. In addition to considering heat dissipation, waterproofing issues must also be considered. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a heat-dissipating and waterproof connector, which realizes effective heat dissipation by setting up multiple heat dissipation holes to form convection air ducts. Moreover, on rainy days, the waterproof component can automatically switch its state to block the heat dissipation holes to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the connector through the heat dissipation holes, while having both good heat dissipation performance and waterproof performance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] In one aspect, a heat dissipation and waterproof connector is provided, comprising: a housing having an internal storage space, two through-holes being provided on a surface of the housing, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes being provided on both sides of the housing to form a convection air duct in the storage space;

[0006] A conductive component is disposed in the accommodation space, and the conductive component has a first arc-shaped portion and a second arc-shaped portion, wherein the first arc-shaped portion and the second arc-shaped portion are respectively opposite to the two wire holes;

[0007] a locking assembly mounted on the housing, the locking assembly being movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. When in the locked position, the locking assembly is capable of pressing against a wire core placed on the first arc-shaped portion or the second arc-shaped portion, thereby locking the wire core. When in the unlocked position, the locking assembly is disengaged from the surface of the wire core.

[0008] Two waterproof components are installed on the two sides of the shell respectively. The waterproof components have a first state and a second state. When in the first state, the waterproof components block the heat dissipation holes; when in the second state, the positions of the waterproof components and the heat dissipation holes are staggered.

[0009] Furthermore, the waterproof component includes a fixing part, a guide column, an elastic part, a baffle and a water storage part. The fixing part is protruded from the side of the outer shell, and a guide groove is provided in the fixing part. The guide column is installed on the bottom of the baffle and cooperates with the guide groove. The elastic part is sleeved on the guide column, and its two ends are respectively abutted against the top surface of the fixing part and the bottom surface of the baffle. The elastic part makes the baffle always have a tendency to move in the first direction. The water storage part is arranged on the top of the baffle and forms a water storage cavity. The water storage cavity forms a trapezoidal opening upward. The liquid stored in the water storage cavity reaches more than 80% of its volume. The downward gravity on the baffle is greater than the elastic force of the elastic part, so that the baffle moves downward to block the heat dissipation hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the liquid stored in the water storage chamber reaches more than 95% of its volume, and the baffle completely blocks all the heat dissipation holes.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two fixing members, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the locking assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, a boss is provided on one side of the baffle away from the housing, one end of the guide column is connected to the lower side of the boss, and the other end extends toward the guide groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a through opening corresponding to the two wire holes is provided at the bottom of the shell, and a sealing assembly is also provided on the shell, and the sealing assembly can move between a first position and a second position. When the sealing assembly moves to the first position, the through opening is closed, and when the sealing assembly moves to the second position, the through opening is opened.

[0014] Furthermore, the shell is provided with a sliding groove running through the surface thereof, and the blocking assembly includes a sealing plate slidably mounted on the sliding groove, and a push-pull portion connected to the sealing plate, and the push-pull portion extends out of the shell.

[0015] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a fastener connected to the housing via threads, a locking portion provided at a first end of the fastener, the locking portion is located in the accommodating space, and a second end of the fastener extends out of the housing.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking portion is arc-shaped on a side opposite to the wire core.

[0017] Furthermore, the shell is provided with a sleeve and a sleeve cover, part of the fastener is provided in the sleeve, and the sleeve cover is provided on the end of the sleeve.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the connector includes a shell with a storage space, and the surface of the shell is provided with two through-holes for the main line and the branch line to pass through. At the same time, a plurality of heat dissipation holes are provided on both sides of the shell to form a convection air duct to effectively discharge the heat generated inside. In the storage space, the first arc portion and the second arc portion of the conductive component correspond to the two wire holes respectively, ensuring good electrical contact with the cable. The locking component is installed on the shell and can be moved between a locked position and an unlocked position. When locked, it presses against the wire core to achieve a stable connection. When unlocked, it is separated from the surface of the wire core for easy operation. What is particularly critical is that the connector is also equipped with two waterproof components, which are installed on both sides of the shell respectively, and have a first state and a second state. In the first state, the waterproof component tightly seals the heat dissipation hole, effectively preventing the intrusion of external moisture such as rainwater; in the second state, the waterproof component is staggered with the heat dissipation hole to ensure that the convection heat dissipation function of the heat dissipation hole is not hindered. This design not only achieves efficient heat dissipation, but also enables the connector to have automatic waterproof function under severe weather conditions. It has a compact structure and is easy to operate. It is suitable for various power system application scenarios with high reliability and long life requirements, effectively improving the overall performance of the connector and user experience.

[0027] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and can refer to internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0030] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a heat dissipation and waterproof connector, including: a shell 1, a conductive component 2, a locking component 3 and a waterproof component 4. The shell 1 is provided with a storage space inside, and the surface of the shell 1 is provided with two penetrating wire holes 101. Both sides of the shell 1 are provided with multiple heat dissipation holes 103, so that a convection air duct is formed in the storage space; the conductive component 2 is arranged in the storage space, and the conductive component 2 is provided with a first arc portion 201 and a second arc portion 202, and the first arc portion 201 and the second arc portion 202 are respectively opposite to the two wire holes 101; the locking component 3 is installed in the outer Shell 1, the locking component 3 can move between a locking position and an unlocking position. When in the locking position, the locking component 3 can press the wire core placed on the first arc-shaped portion 201 or the second arc-shaped portion 202, thereby locking the wire core. When in the unlocking position, the locking component 3 is separated from the surface of the wire core; two waterproof components 4 are correspondingly installed on the two side surfaces of the shell 1, and the waterproof component 4 has a first state and a second state. When in the first state, the waterproof component 4 blocks the heat dissipation hole 103; when in the second state, the waterproof component 4 is staggered with the position of the heat dissipation hole 103.

[0031] Based on the above scheme, the connector includes a housing 1 with an internal storage space for mounting a conductive assembly 2 and other internal components. Two through-holes 101 are provided on the surface of the housing 1 for inserting the main and branch cables. Furthermore, multiple heat dissipation holes 103 are provided on both sides of the housing 1. These heat dissipation holes 103 are designed to form convection air ducts to effectively dissipate heat generated within the connector. The conductive assembly 2 is disposed within the storage space and includes a first curved portion 201 and a second curved portion 202. These two curved portions are positioned opposite the two cable holes 101, respectively, to form a good electrical contact with the inserted cables. A locking assembly 3 is mounted on the housing 1 and is movable between a locked and unlocked position. When in the locked position, the locking assembly 3 presses against the wire core placed on the first curved portion 201 or the second curved portion 202, thereby locking the wire core and ensuring a stable and reliable electrical connection. When in the unlocked position, the locking assembly 3 is disengaged from the surface of the wire core, allowing the wire core to be inserted or removed. The connector also includes two waterproof assemblies 4, mounted on opposite sides of the housing 1. These assemblies 4 have a first and a second state. In the first state, the waterproof assemblies 4 block the heat dissipation holes 103, preventing rainwater and other external moisture from entering the connector through the heat dissipation holes 103, thereby protecting the internal electrical components from damage. In the second state, the waterproof assemblies 4 are offset from the heat dissipation holes 103, thus not hindering the convection heat dissipation function of the heat dissipation holes 103.

[0032] In actual use, when the connector is operating at high load and generating significant internal heat, waterproof assembly 4 automatically or manually switches to the second state, allowing heat dissipation holes 103 to fully utilize their convection cooling function and dissipate heat promptly. In rainy or humid environments, waterproof assembly 4 switches to the first state, blocking heat dissipation holes 103 and preventing rainwater from entering the connector. Overall, this connector not only offers excellent heat dissipation and waterproofing performance, but also boasts a compact structure and ease of operation, making it suitable for a variety of power system applications requiring high reliability and long life.

[0033] Specifically, the waterproof component 4 includes a fixing member 401, a guide column 402, an elastic member 403, a baffle 404 and a water storage member 405. The fixing member 401 is convexly arranged on the side of the housing 1. A guide groove is provided in the fixing member 401. The guide column 402 is installed at the bottom of the baffle 404 and cooperates with the guide groove. The elastic member 403 is sleeved on the guide column 402, and its two ends respectively abut against the top surface of the fixing member 401 and the bottom surface of the baffle 404. Then, the elastic member 403 causes the baffle 404 to always have a tendency to move in the first direction. The water storage member 405 is arranged on the top of the baffle 404 and forms a water storage chamber 4051. The water storage chamber 4051 forms a trapezoidal opening upward. The liquid stored in the water storage chamber 4051 reaches more than 80% of its volume. The downward gravity on the baffle 404 is greater than the elastic force of the elastic member 403, so that the baffle 404 moves downward to block the heat dissipation hole 103.

[0034] In the above solution, a fixing member 401 is protruding from the side of the housing 1 and is internally provided with a guide groove for guiding the movement of the baffle 404 and its components. A guide post 402 is mounted on the bottom of the baffle 404 and cooperates with the guide groove to ensure the stability and accuracy of the baffle 404 during movement. An elastic member 403 is sleeved onto the guide post 402, with its ends respectively abutting the top surface of the fixing member 401 and the bottom surface of the baffle 404. This design ensures that the baffle 404 is always subjected to an elastic force in a first direction (i.e., upward), thereby maintaining the baffle 404 in its initial position in the absence of external forces. A water storage member 405 is disposed on the top of the baffle 404 and internally defines a water storage chamber 4051 with an upwardly facing trapezoidal opening. This design not only facilitates the injection and storage of liquid but also, to a certain extent, prevents uncontrolled liquid overflow. The amount of liquid stored in water storage chamber 4051 must reach at least 80% of its total volume to ensure sufficient gravity to drive baffle 404 to move when needed. When a sufficient amount of liquid is stored in water storage chamber 4051, the gravity of the liquid will exert a downward force on baffle 404. If this downward gravity is greater than the elastic force of elastic member 403, baffle 404 will move downward, thereby blocking heat dissipation hole 103. In this way, if external moisture such as rainwater intrudes, waterproof assembly 4 can automatically switch to a blocked state, protecting the interior of the connector from damage.

[0035] Furthermore, this design is intelligent and adaptive. When the external environment is dry and there is no threat of rain, the liquid in the water storage chamber 4051 may decrease due to evaporation. At this time, the baffle 404, under the action of the elastic member 403, returns to its initial position, no longer blocking the heat dissipation hole 103, thereby ensuring the normal heat dissipation function of the connector.

[0036] At the same time, the liquid stored in the water storage chamber 4051 reaches over 95% of its volume, and the baffle 404 completely blocks all of the heat dissipation holes 103. The liquid volume stored in the water storage chamber 4051 is required to reach over 95% of its total volume. This high liquid level design ensures that when the external environment presents a moisture threat such as rain, the liquid in the water storage chamber 4051 can provide sufficient gravity to drive the movement of the baffle 404. When the liquid volume in the water storage chamber 4051 reaches this high percentage, the baffle 404, under the action of the gravity of the liquid, will completely compress the elastic member 403, moving the baffle 404 to a position that completely blocks all of the heat dissipation holes 103. This completely blocked state effectively prevents external moisture from invading the connector through the heat dissipation holes 103, thereby protecting the internal electrical components from damage. Moreover, the design of more than 95% allows the baffle 404 to completely block the heat dissipation hole 103 in order to reserve a certain amount of margin for movement. Because in strong winds, the water in the water storage chamber 4051 may splash out, but it is only necessary to ensure that the water storage capacity in the water storage chamber 4051 reaches more than 95%.

[0037] Furthermore, this design also considers the balance between heat dissipation and waterproofing. Under normal circumstances, when there is no moisture in the external environment, the liquid in the water storage chamber 4051 may decrease due to evaporation or other factors. At this time, the baffle 404, under the action of the elastic member 403, returns to its initial position, no longer blocking the heat dissipation hole 103, thereby ensuring the normal heat dissipation function of the connector. This design enables the connector to maintain waterproof performance while also having good heat dissipation performance.

[0038] Furthermore, two fixing members 401 are provided, and the two fixing members 401 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the locking assembly 3. The symmetrical arrangement of the two fixing members 401 enhances the stability and reliability of the waterproof assembly 4. Due to the increased number of fixing members 401, the support and guidance provided to the baffle 404 during movement is more balanced and stable, which helps to reduce shaking and deviation of the baffle 404 during movement, thereby improving the sealing effect of the waterproof assembly 4.

[0039] Furthermore, a boss 4041 is provided on the side of the baffle 404 facing away from the housing 1. One end of the guide post 402 is connected to the underside of the boss 4041, and the other end extends toward the guide slot. The boss 4041 provided on the side of the baffle 404 facing away from the housing 1 provides a more stable support structure for the baffle 404 and helps optimize the installation position of the guide post 402. One end of the guide post 402 is connected to the underside of the boss 4041, and the other end extends toward the guide slot. This design ensures that the guide post 402 remains in the correct position during movement, reducing the problem of poor sealing effect caused by shaking or deviation. The design of the boss 4041 also takes into account the overall strength and stability of the baffle 404. By adding the boss 4041, the overall structure of the baffle 404 is strengthened, allowing the baffle 404 to move more stably under the influence of gravity and better withstand external pressure and impact.

[0040] Furthermore, the cooperation between the boss 4041 and the guide post 402 provides a certain degree of guidance and positioning for the baffle 404 during its movement. When the baffle 404 is subjected to the downward force of gravity, the boss 4041 and the guide post 402 guide the baffle 404 along the correct path until it completely blocks the heat dissipation hole 103. Furthermore, the cooperation between the boss 4041 and the guide post 402 limits the range of movement of the baffle 404, preventing it from moving beyond the predetermined position.

[0041] In some embodiments, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a through-hole 102 corresponding to the two wire holes 101. The housing 1 is further provided with a blocking assembly 5, which is movable between a first position and a second position. When the blocking assembly 5 is moved to the first position, the through-hole 102 is closed, and when the blocking assembly 5 is moved to the second position, the through-hole 102 is opened. When the exposed core of the connected cable is relatively close to the end of the cable, the cable can be passed through the wire hole 101 so that the core contacts and locks with the first curved portion 201 or the second curved portion 202. However, when the core is in the middle of the cable, the installation time will be too long if the cable is passed through the wire hole 101. Therefore, the blocking assembly 5 can be moved to the second position, so that the through-hole 102 is opened. The exposed core of the cable can directly enter the first curved portion 201 or the second curved portion 202 from the through-hole 102. The blocking assembly 5 is then moved to the first position to close the through-hole 102, thereby achieving a preliminary closure of the cable.

[0042] At the same time, the shell 1 is provided with a sliding groove 104 running through its surface, and the blocking assembly 5 includes a sealing plate 501 slidably mounted on the sliding groove 104, and a push-pull portion 502 connected to the sealing plate 501, and the push-pull portion 502 extends out of the shell 1. The sealing plate 501 is the main closing element, which can move smoothly in the sliding groove 104 to control the opening and closing of the passage 102. The push-pull portion 502 extends out of the shell 1 to facilitate user operation. The design of the push-pull portion 502 can be flexible and diverse, and can be a handle, a button or a rod-shaped structure. Regardless of the form adopted, it is necessary to ensure that the user can easily and quickly move the sealing plate 501 through the push-pull portion 502. At the same time, the connection method between the push-pull portion 502 and the sealing plate 501 also needs to be stable and reliable to ensure that it will not loosen or fall off during the movement. The cooperation between the sliding groove 104 and the blocking assembly 5 enables the user to easily control the opening and closing of the passage 102 as needed. When the opening 102 needs to be closed, the user simply moves the sealing plate 501 to the appropriate position in the sliding groove 104 using the push-pull portion 502. When the opening 102 needs to be opened, the user can remove the sealing plate 501 from the sliding groove 104 using the push-pull portion 502. Furthermore, the design of the sliding groove 104 and the sealing assembly 5 also takes into account the overall aesthetics and practicality of the connector. The shape, size, and color of the sliding groove 104 and the sealing assembly 5 need to coordinate with the rest of the connector to ensure a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance for the entire connector. Furthermore, the materials of the sliding groove 104 and the sealing assembly 5 must also possess sufficient strength and durability to withstand a variety of harsh operating environments.

[0043] Specifically, the locking assembly 3 includes a fastener 301 threadedly connected to the housing 1 and a locking portion 302 disposed at the first end of the fastener 301. The locking portion 302 is located within the housing space, while the second end of the fastener 301 protrudes from the housing 1. The fastener 301 is tightly connected to the housing 1 via threads, providing a stable and reliable connection while also facilitating removal and reinstallation. The second end of the fastener 301 protrudes from the housing 1, making it easier for users to manipulate the fastener 301, such as using a tool to rotate it to adjust its position or tightening. The locking portion 302 is located at the first end of the fastener 301 and is designed to fit within the housing space. The primary function of the locking portion 302 is to press against the cable core, ensuring a secure connection. When the fastener 301 is rotated to the proper position, the locking portion 302 firmly presses against the cable core, ensuring a stable and reliable electrical connection between the cable and the connector. The shape and size of the locking portion 302 must match the cable core to ensure a tight fit. At the same time, the material of the locking portion 302 also needs to have sufficient strength and hardness to cope with various usage environments and stress conditions.

[0044] Specifically, the locking portion 302 is arc-shaped on the side opposite to the wire core. The arc-shaped design allows the locking portion 302 to better fit the surface of the wire core. The wire core is usually round, so the arc shape can provide a larger contact area and more uniform pressure distribution, thereby ensuring that the locking portion 302 can firmly support the wire core and prevent the cable from loosening or falling off inside the connector. In addition, the arc-shaped design also helps to reduce the friction between the locking portion 302 and the wire core. During the process of inserting and removing the cable from the connector, the wire core will move relative to the locking portion 302. If the shape of the locking portion 302 is too sharp or irregular, it may cause damage to the surface of the wire core or generate excessive frictional heat. The arc-shaped design can reduce this friction, protect the integrity of the wire core, and extend the service life of the connector.

[0045] It's worth noting that the housing 1 also features a sleeve 6 and a cap 7. The fastener 301 is partially located within the sleeve 6, and the cap 7 covers the end of the sleeve 6. The sleeve 6 is a tubular structure located within the housing 1, with its inner diameter matching the diameter of the fastener 301, allowing for smooth insertion of the fastener 301. The design of the sleeve 6 not only provides a stable support for the fastener 301 but also reduces friction between the fastener 301 and the housing 1, thereby extending the service life of the fastener 301. The cap 7 is a protective element located at the end of the sleeve 6. Its primary function is to prevent external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the interior of the sleeve 6, thereby protecting the fastener 301 from contamination and corrosion. The fit between the cap 7 and the sleeve 6 must be tight and reliable to ensure effective protection against the intrusion of external impurities. The design of the sleeve 6 and cap 7 not only considers the protection of the fastener 301 but also the overall aesthetics and practicality of the connector. Their shape, size, and color must coordinate with the rest of the connector to ensure a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance. At the same time, the sleeve 6 and the sleeve cover 7 also need to be easy to disassemble and reinstall so that the fastener 301 can be inspected, repaired or replaced when necessary.

[0046] Furthermore, the design of sleeve 6 and cover 7 also takes into account the connector's waterproof performance. Since connectors are often used outdoors or in humid environments, waterproof performance is a key consideration in connector design. The sleeve 6 and cover 7 must fit tightly and seamlessly to prevent moisture from seeping into the connector through the gap. Furthermore, the material of cover 7 must also be sufficiently waterproof to withstand a variety of harsh operating environments.
