[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 10An outdoor waterproof data connector includes a male connector 100 and a female connector 200. The male connector 100 is equipped with a plug pin 110. The female connector 200 is provided with a plug sleeve 210 for plugging and assembling with the plug pin 110. The male connector 100 is provided with a telescopic mechanism. The plug pin 110 is assembled on the telescopic mechanism. The male connector 100 is equipped with a first panel 120. The first panel 120 is provided with a first through hole 121 for the plug pin 110 to extend. The female connector 200 is equipped with a second panel 220. The second panel 220 is provided with a socket 221 for the plug pin 110 to plug in. The telescopic pin 110 is designed to retract the pin 110 when not in use, thereby protecting the pin 110 from external physical damage and environmental corrosion. The first panel 120 is equipped with a first cover plate 130 capable of covering the first through hole 121 through a rotating mechanism, and the first cover plate 130 is provided with a second through hole 131. By rotating the first cover plate 130, the first through hole 121 can be completely exposed from the second through hole 131. The second panel 220 is equipped with a second cover plate 230 capable of covering the plug hole 221 through a rotating mechanism, and the second cover plate 230 is provided with a groove 231. By rotating the second cover plate 230, the plug hole 221 can be completely exposed from the groove 231. The first cover plate 130 is provided with an assembly groove 132 matching the shape of the second cover plate 230. In terms of ensuring waterproof performance, a waterproof sealing sheet 133 can be provided on the first cover plate 130 and the second cover plate 230. When the male connector 100 and the female connector 200 are in a separated state, the waterproof sealing sheet 133 can cover the first through hole 121 or the plug hole 221. The cover design can effectively prevent dust and moisture from entering the connector, improve the protection level, and ensure that the connector can still work normally in harsh environments.

[0033] The specific structure of the telescopic mechanism is as follows: it includes a shaft 140, a telescopic spring 150, a pressing block 160 and a base plate 111. The shaft 140 is divided into a limiting section and a bare rod section, and a limiting protrusion is arranged on the side of the limiting section. The bare rod section is located at the bottom of the shaft 140 and abuts against the first panel 120. The plug pin 110 is assembled on the base plate 111, and a first limiting slide groove 112 cooperating with the limiting section is arranged on the base plate 111, and a positioning slide groove 113 cooperating with the limiting protrusion is arranged on the top side of the first limiting slide groove 112. The telescopic spring 150 is assembled between the base plate 111 and the first panel 120. The pressing block 160 abuts against the upper surface of the base plate 111, and a second limiting slide groove 161 cooperating with the limiting section is arranged on the pressing block 160. This structure allows the user to extend and retract the plug pin 110 by simply pressing down and rotating. When the plug pin 110 needs to be fixed at a certain position, the pressing block 160 only needs to be rotated to make the limiting protrusion enter the positioning slot 113; otherwise, the reverse operation can easily complete the recovery of the plug pin 110. This intuitive and simple operation method greatly improves the user experience.

[0034] Specifically, the male connector 100 includes an inner seat 170 and a sleeve 180 sleeved on the inner seat 170, the first panel 120 is assembled on the inner seat 170, and the lower pressing block 160 is assembled in the sleeve 180. The sleeve 180 is equipped with a plurality of first sealing rings 181, and the first sealing rings 181 abut between the outer wall of the inner seat 170 and the inner wall of the sleeve 180. The first through hole 121, the second through hole 131 and the plug hole 221 are all equipped with sealing sleeves 240. The side of the first cover plate 130 is equipped with a second sealing ring 134, and the second sealing ring 134 abuts between the first cover plate 130 and the inner seat 170. The design of the sealing sleeve 240 and the multi-layer sealing ring can further enhance the waterproof performance of the connector, ensuring that it can maintain good electrical performance even in a humid environment. To ensure the connection reliability of the male connector 100 and the female connector 200, the sleeve 180 is equipped with a screw-on ring seat 182, and the female connector 200 is provided with an external thread 201 that cooperates with the screw-on ring seat 182. The screw-on ring seat 182 and the external thread 201 cooperate to make the connection of the connector more secure and reduce the possibility of loosening.

[0035] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft 250 and a torsion spring 260 mounted on the rotating shaft 250. One end of the rotating shaft 250 is connected to the first cover plate 130 or the second cover plate 230, and the other end passes through the first panel 120 or the second panel 220 and is equipped with a rotating disk 251 at the end. The design of the torsion spring 260 and the rotating shaft 250 allows the cover plate to automatically reset after the male head 100 and the female head 200 are separated, providing continuous protection. A limited rotation groove 252 is provided on the side of the rotating disk 251, and a rotating block 253 is provided on the first cover plate 130 or the second cover plate 230, and the rotating block 253 is located in the limited rotation groove 252. The design of the limited rotation groove 252 and the rotating block 253 ensures the precise opening and closing of the cover plate and prevents the cover plate from rotating excessively.

[0036] In addition, the present application also carries out reliability design for the female connector 200. Specifically, a through slot 270 for accommodating the plug sleeve 210 is provided in the female connector 200. The radial width of the through slot 270 is greater than the diameter of the plug pin 110. The middle part of the plug sleeve 210 is hinged to the inner wall of the through slot 270. An upper elastic block 271 and a lower elastic block 272 are assembled in the through slot 270. The upper elastic block 271 is located between the upper part of the plug sleeve 210 and the inner wall of the through slot 270. The lower elastic block 272 is located between the lower part of the plug sleeve 210 and the inner wall of the through slot 270. The upper elastic block 271 and the lower elastic block 272 are located on both sides of the plug sleeve 210. When the plug pin 110 is inserted into the plug sleeve 210, the upper elastic block 271 and the lower elastic block 272 located on both sides of the plug sleeve 210 can exert a force toward the axis on the plug sleeve 210. This force ensures close contact between the plug sleeve 210 and the plug pin 110, thereby improving the stability of the connection and reducing the risk of signal transmission interruption or performance degradation due to poor contact. In addition, due to the presence of the upper elastic block 271 and the lower elastic block 272, even if frequent plugging and unplugging causes increased wear of the connector, resulting in a certain deviation between the plug pin 110 and the plug sleeve 210, the position of the plug sleeve 210 can be automatically adjusted through elastic force, so that the pin 110 and the plug sleeve 210 always maintain contact, reducing the possibility of signal attenuation.

[0037] The top of the plug sleeve 210 is designed with a flared opening. The flared opening design can guide the pin 110 to correctly align with the plug sleeve 210 to a certain extent, reduce the friction between the pin 110 and the plug sleeve 210, reduce the risk of damage, and make it easier for the pin 110 to enter the plug sleeve 210. A plurality of elastically retractable card joints 273 are assembled on the inner wall of the through groove 270, and a card groove 114 cooperating with the card joint 273 is provided on the pin 110, and a through hole 211 for the card joint 273 to extend into is provided on the plug sleeve 210. The retractable card joint 273 can be inserted into the card groove 114 when the pin 110 is inserted, so as to realize a firm connection between the pin 110 and the plug sleeve 210.

[0038] The protection scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to the above embodiments. The protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the claims. Any replacement, deformation, and improvement of the technology that can be easily thought of by technicians in this field shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
