[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention are described clearly and completely below in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1 like Figure 1-13The present invention provides a straight sealed connector, which consists of a plug component 1, a socket component 2 and a tail component 3. The plug component 1 includes a plug housing and a plug base assembly arranged in the plug housing. The plug base assembly includes an upper plug base and a lower plug base. The upper plug base is provided with a plurality of sockets for plugging and connecting with the pins 12; the socket component 2 described in the present application is electrically connected to the plug component 1 through a locking member, and the locking member includes a screw sleeve 4 for connecting the plug component 1 and the socket component 2. A No. 1 O-ring 5 is provided between the screw sleeve 4 and the plug component 1. The No. 1 O-ring 5 has an inner diameter of 15 mm and a wire diameter of 0.2±0.03 mm. The end of the screw sleeve 4 is connected to the plug member 1 through the shockproof cavity 6, and a ratchet assembly 7 and a wave ring 8 for limiting the ratchet assembly 7 are provided in the shockproof cavity 6. The present application ensures the free anti-loosening performance of the ratchet assembly 7 by setting the wave ring 8, that is, the elastic force of the wave ring 8 is used to provide the pre-tightening force required for loosening, improve the torque force when the ratchet assembly 7 rotates, make the screw sleeve 4 rotate more smoothly, improve the stability of the screw sleeve 4 when rotating, and combine with the setting of the No. 1 O-ring 5 to further improve the stability between the screw sleeve 4 and the plug member 1 and the plug member 1. Regarding the sealing after connection, the ratchet assembly 7 includes a dynamic ratchet 71 in contact with the wavy ring 8 and a static ratchet 72 meshing with the dynamic ratchet 71. In this application, the ratchet assembly 7 arranged in the shockproof cavity 6 at the end of the screw sleeve 4 is combined with the wavy ring 8 to limit and lock the screw sleeve 4, thereby preventing the screw sleeve 4 from losing its locking due to environmental factors under complex conditions such as temperature and pressure, mechanical vibration, and impact environment, further improving the stability of the connection between the screw sleeve 4 and the plug component 1 and the socket component 2, so that it has reliable locking and anti-loosening functions after connection.

[0032] like Figure 3-5The socket component 2 described in the present application includes a socket shell 18 and a socket base assembly provided in the socket shell 18, and the socket base assembly includes a socket upper base 9 and a socket lower base 10, the socket upper base 9 is provided with an interface sealing gasket 11, a plurality of pins 12 and a support spring ring 13, the end of the pin 12 passes through the interface sealing gasket 11 and is connected to the support spring ring 13, one end of the socket lower base 10 is connected to the socket upper base 9, and the other end of the socket lower base 10 is connected to the sealing body 14, the sealing body 14 is provided with a plurality of contact members 15 connected to the support spring ring 13, and a clamping ring 16 is provided between the sealing body 14 and the socket lower base 10, the interface sealing gasket 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the socket shell 18 through a first sealing ring 17, and the outer wall of the socket shell 18 is provided with a conductive rubber pad 30 in contact with the screw sleeve 4, the inner diameter of the first sealing ring 17 is 12.6mm, the outer diameter is 18mm, and the wire diameter is 1.6±0.04mm. The end of the socket housing 18 is plugged into and connected to the tail accessory 3 through a second sealing ring 19, and the tail accessory 3 is fixed to the socket by screws. The inner diameter of the second sealing ring 19 is 14.2 mm, the outer diameter is 18.5 mm, and the wire diameter is 2 mm. The socket component 2 of this application can improve the watertight performance of the socket component 2 by using the interface sealing gasket 11 in combination with the first sealing ring 17.

[0033] like Figure 7-10 The tail attachment 3 described in the present application includes a tail attachment shell 20, a nut 21 and a tail nut 22. The nut 21 is provided with a boss 23. The boss 23 is provided to connect the tail attachment shell 20 and the nut 21 to form a first sealing groove 24, and a No. 2 O-ring 25 is sleeved in the first sealing groove 24. The No. 2 O-ring 25 has an inner diameter of 21.5 mm and a wire diameter of 2.5±0.05 mm. The nut 21 is provided with a plastic wire clamp 26, and a second sealing groove 27 is opened on the plastic wire clamp 26 relative to the inner wall of the nut 21, and a No. 3 O-ring 28 is sleeved in the second sealing groove 27. The inner diameter of the No. 3 O-ring 28 is 15.5mm and the wire diameter is 1.8±0.05mm; the end of the plastic wire clamp 26 is connected to a rubber sleeve 29, and the rubber sleeve 29 is arranged in the tail nut 22. The tail accessory 3 of the present application uses the No. 2 O-ring 25 in combination with the No. 3 O-ring 28 to further ensure the watertightness of the connection after it is connected to the socket component 2; the plastic wire clamp 26 of the present application is made of high-toughness plastic material, which can ensure that it will not be damaged or broken when squeezed and deformed during the assembly process, can effectively clamp the cable, and play a role in resisting pulling. The circumference of the tail end of the rubber sleeve 29 of the present application is distributed with teeth, which can make it evenly compress the rubber sleeve 29 during the tightening process of the tail accessory, so that the rubber sleeve 29 is evenly and tightly fitted with the cable sheath, further achieving reliable waterproofing.

[0034] Example 2 On the basis of the above embodiment, this embodiment is to improve the connection stability of the connector and make it have good shockproof performance, such as Figure 11-13 As described, the static ratchet 72 described in this application has 50 convex teeth evenly distributed on its circumference, and the convex teeth on the static ratchet 72 are asymmetrically meshed with the convex teeth on the dynamic ratchet 71. The mating surface parameters of the dynamic and static ratchet 72 in this application are such that the steep slope surface of the static ratchet 72 is set at an angle of 38° to the horizontal plane, and the gentle slope surface is set at an angle of 12°±10′ to the horizontal plane. The steep slope surface of the movable ratchet 71 is set at an angle of 38° to the horizontal plane, and the gentle slope surface is set at an angle of 12°±15′ to the horizontal plane. The present application provides a pre-tightening force for the movable and static ratchets 72 through the wave ring 8. The force value of the pre-tightening force is 15-20N. When the plug and the socket are plugged in, the movable ratchet 71 moves in the tightening direction. At this time, the gentle slope surface of the movable ratchet 71 moves along the gentle slope surface of the static ratchet 72. The resistance of the pre-tightening force decomposed on the gentle slope surface is small. When the tightening force is greater than the resistance, the screw sleeve 4 can be screwed to rotate with the movable ratchet 71. When the steep slope surface of the movable ratchet 71 moves to the steep slope surface of the static ratchet 72, a tightening force is generated. The movable ratchet 71 "jumps" and enters the next gentle slope surface of the static ratchet 72, and this cycle continues until it is plugged in. During this process, a crisp "click" sound is produced due to the "jump"; when the plug is separated from the socket, the movable ratchet 71 moves in the loosening direction. At this time, the steep slope surface of the movable ratchet 71 needs to cross the steep slope surface of the static ratchet 72. The resistance of the pre-tightening force decomposed on the steep slope surface is greater than the resistance decomposed on the gentle slope surface, and the force overcome is greater than when tightening. When the component force caused by the external dynamic environment such as vibration and impact is less than the resistance required to cross the steep slope surface, the screw sleeve 4 will remain in its original state and will not rotate and loosen, thereby achieving an excellent self-locking and anti-loosening function.

Table 11: Group C salt spray test records Control group 1 Based on the above embodiments, the difference between this control group and Example 1 is that the interface sealing gasket is in contact with the socket housing. After the test, it was detected that there was water mist at the mating ends of the plug and the socket. The contact resistance was tested to be 18.57-19.24 mΩ. After the signal transmission test, its stability was reduced by more than 12% compared with the signal transmission stability of the straight sealed connector provided in this application.

[0053] Control group 2 Based on the above embodiments, the difference between this control group and Example 1 is that the tail shell is threadedly connected to the nut and no No. 2 O-ring is provided; after the test, it was found that there was water mist on the conductive sealing gasket of the socket, and its contact resistance was 16.89-17.54mΩ. After the signal transmission test, its stability was reduced by more than 8% compared with the signal transmission stability of the straight sealed connector provided in this application.

[0054] Control group three Based on the above embodiments, the difference between this control group and Example 2 is that the steep slope surfaces of the dynamic and static ratchets are set at an angle greater than 38° to the horizontal plane. After the plug-in test, a vibration test was conducted, and it was found that the appearance of the plug and socket was qualified, the contact resistance of the plug and socket was 12.71-13.56mΩ, the insulation resistance of the plug was 6120mΩ, and the insulation resistance of the socket was 5980mΩ.

[0056] In summary, the straight sealed connector provided by the present application provides positive pressure by adding an elastic gasket to the ratchet tooth end face of the ratchet assembly. The tooth design of the ratchet requires less torque when the product is connected and locked, and more torque when it is unscrewed. In addition, the large number of ratchets distributed evenly and comprehensively have a redundant function. When one tooth fails, the second tooth will play a role. Combined with the reasonable arrangement of the sealing ring and O-ring of the present application, the straight sealed connector of the present application has a stable and reliable structure and can adapt to use in multiple environments. It effectively solves the problem that the mechanical locking mechanism of the existing straight sealed connector is easily affected by vibration and fails under high-frequency vibration or impact, resulting in a decrease in connection strength, affecting its reliability in a vibration environment, and the sealing effect of the sealing ring is poor, which easily allows environmental moisture or other contaminants to enter the interior.
