Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to an integrated connector with waterproof monitoring and control functions. Background Art

[0002] An integrated connector is a connection device that integrates multiple functions into a single component and is widely used in electronics, communications, automobiles, industrial automation and other fields.

[0003] In actual applications, when the temperature and humidity difference between the inside and outside is large, when the outside temperature rises, the water vapor content in the air increases. If the connector is in a low temperature environment at this time (such as at night or in cold areas), the temperature difference between the inside and outside will cause negative pressure inside the connector. This pressure difference may cause tiny moisture to penetrate through the micropores of the sealing material, and in a high humidity environment, the water vapor in the air is more likely to condense into liquid water. When the connector is quickly transferred from a high temperature and high humidity environment to a low temperature and low humidity environment, the water vapor in the internal air may condense into water droplets. If there is moisture inside the connector, the moisture will corrode the metal contact points of the connector, causing oxidation or corrosion, thereby increasing the contact resistance and affecting the stability and efficiency of signal transmission. Long-term humid environment will accelerate the aging process of connector materials, especially non-metallic materials such as plastics and rubber, shortening their lifespan, and moisture will affect signal quality, resulting in data transmission errors or complete interruption, affecting communication between devices. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an integrated connector with waterproof monitoring and control functions, which can overcome the disadvantages that moisture can affect signal quality, cause data transmission errors or complete interruption, and affect communication between devices.

[0021] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 , an integrated connector with waterproof monitoring and control functions, including a male plug 1, a female plug 2, a sealing ring 4, a placement box 5, a blocking net 6, a sealing cover 7 and a dehumidification mechanism. A sealing groove 3 is opened on the right side of the male plug 1, and a sealing ring 4 is connected to the left side of the female plug 2. The top of the female plug 2 is connected to the placement box 5, and the bottom of the placement box 5 is connected to the blocking net 6. When the desiccant is placed in the placement box 5, the blocking net 6 can block the desiccant to prevent the desiccant from falling into the female plug 2, and the blocking net 6 will not affect the desiccant from absorbing moisture in the female plug 2. A sealing cover 7 is provided on the top of the placement box 5. The sealing cover 7 can seal the top of the placement box 5 to prevent moisture or other impurities from entering the placement box 5 and reducing the service life of the desiccant. The dehumidification mechanism is used to dehumidify the male plug 1 and the female plug 2.

[0023] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The dehumidification mechanism includes an air pump 8, an air outlet pipe 9, an air inlet pipe 10, a temperature and humidity sensor 11, a heating tube 12 and a control module 13. The air pump 8 is installed at the bottom of the female plug 2. The air inlet end of the air pump 8 is sealed and passes through the bottom of the female plug 2. The air outlet end of the air pump 8 is connected to the air outlet pipe 9. The left and right sides of the placement box 5 are connected with the air inlet pipe 10. The temperature and humidity sensors 11 are installed on the front and back sides of the bottom of the female plug 2. The heating tube 12 is installed on the top of the female plug 2. The air pump 8, the temperature and humidity sensor 11 and the heating tube 12 are all electrically connected to the control module 13.

[0024] Reference Figure 5The integrated connector with waterproof monitoring and control function also includes a one-way valve 14. The one-way valve 14 is installed on the air outlet pipe 9. Under the action of the one-way valve 14, the outside air cannot enter the female plug 2 through the air outlet pipe 9, and the air in the female plug 2 can be discharged through the air outlet pipe 9.

[0025] Reference Figure 5 The integrated connector with waterproof monitoring and control function also includes a solenoid valve 15. The solenoid valve 15 is installed on the intake pipe 10, and the solenoid valve 15 is electrically connected to the control module 13.

[0026] The staff inserts the male plug 1 into the female plug 2, and the sealing ring 4 enters the sealing groove 3. The sealing ring 4 can seal the female plug 2 to prevent water from entering the inside of the female plug 2 and reduce the risk of water vapor condensation. Then the staff opens the sealing cover 7, puts the desiccant into the placement box 5, and then covers the sealing cover 7. The desiccant can absorb the trace moisture that may exist inside the female plug 2, further reducing the risk of water vapor condensation, and preventing moisture from corroding the inside of the female plug 2 to ensure the signal quality. The solenoid valve 15 is in a closed state, which can prevent external moisture from entering the placement box 5 through the air inlet pipe 10 to reduce the service life of the desiccant. Through the action of the one-way valve 14, external moisture cannot enter the air pump 8 through the air outlet pipe 9, thereby preventing external moisture from entering the inside of the female plug 2. The temperature and humidity sensor 11 can detect the temperature and humidity inside the female plug 2, and transmit the detected data to the control module 13. The control module 13 analyzes the data. When the temperature and humidity sensor 11 detects that the female When the humidity inside the plug 2 is too high, the control module 13 will control the air pump 8 to work, and at the same time, the control module 13 will control the solenoid valve 15 to open, and the outside air will enter the placement box 5 through the air inlet pipe 10. The desiccant can absorb the moisture in the air, and then the dry air enters the female plug 2. The air in the female plug 2 is discharged through the air outlet pipe 9, reducing the humidity inside the female plug 2 and ensuring the signal quality. When the temperature and humidity sensor 11 detects that the inside of the female plug 2 is in a dry state, the control module 13 will control the air pump 8 and the solenoid valve 15 to close. When the temperature and humidity sensor 11 detects that the temperature inside the female plug 2 is too low, the control module 13 will control the heating tube 12 to work, heat the inside of the female plug 2, and heat the inside of the female plug 2. When the temperature and humidity sensor 11 detects that the temperature inside the female plug 2 is appropriate, the control module 13 will control the heating tube 12 to close. In this way, the temperature and humidity inside the female plug 2 can be regulated to keep the surrounding environment of the female plug 2 relatively stable and reduce the impact of temperature and humidity fluctuations.

[0027] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8The integrated connector with waterproof monitoring and control function also includes a wedge block 16, a first mounting shaft 17, a clamping block 18 and a first torsion spring 19. The front and rear sides of the left part of the female plug 2 are connected with wedge blocks 16, and the inclined surface of the wedge block 16 faces the left side of the female plug 2. The front and rear sides of the left part of the male plug 1 are connected with the first mounting shaft 17, and the clamping block 18 is rotatably connected to the first mounting shaft 17. The first mounting shaft 17 is sleeved with a first torsion spring 19, and the two ends of the first torsion spring 19 are respectively connected to the first mounting shaft 17 and the clamping block 18.

[0028] Reference Figure 7 The integrated connector with waterproof monitoring and control function also includes a pull rod 20, and the left sides of the two card blocks 18 are commonly connected to the pull rod 20.

[0029] When the male plug 1 is inserted into the female plug 2, since the inclined surface of the wedge block 16 faces the left side of the female plug 2, the block 18 will contact the inclined surface of the wedge block 16, and the block 18 will rotate upward along the inclined surface of the wedge block 16, and the first torsion spring 19 will be deformed. When the block 18 passes over the wedge block 16, under the action of the first torsion spring 19, the block 18 rotates downward and resets, and the block 18 can clamp the wedge block 16, thereby clamping the female plug 2 and stabilizing the connection between the male plug 1 and the female plug 2. When it is necessary to separate the male plug 1 and the female plug 2, the staff pulls the pull rod 20 downward to drive the block 18 to rotate upward so that the block 18 no longer clamps the wedge block 16, and the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 can be separated.

[0030] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The integrated connector with waterproof monitoring and control function also includes a second mounting shaft 21, a pressure block 22 and a second torsion spring 23. The second mounting shaft 21 is connected to the top of the male plug 1, and the pressure block 22 is rotatably connected to the second mounting shaft 21. The right side of the pressure block 22 is an inclined surface 221. The second mounting shaft 21 is sleeved with a second torsion spring 23, and the two ends of the second torsion spring 23 are respectively connected to the second mounting shaft 21 and the pressure block 22.

[0031] When the male plug 1 is inserted into the female plug 2, the pressing block 22 can press the sealing cover 7 to prevent the sealing cover 7 from loosening due to shaking, thereby improving the sealing between the sealing cover 7 and the placement box 5. The right side of the pressing block 22 is an inclined surface 221, which can prevent the pressing block 22 and the sealing cover 7 from colliding. When it is necessary to open the sealing cover 7 to replace the desiccant, the pressing block 22 is rotated to make the pressing block 22 and the sealing cover 7 out of contact. At this time, the second torsion spring 23 will be deformed, and then the desiccant is replaced. After the replacement is completed, the sealing cover 7 is covered again, and then the pressing block 22 is released. Under the action of the second torsion spring 23, the pressing block 22 rotates in the opposite direction to reset and press the sealing cover 7 again.

[0032] Reference Fig.11The integrated connector with waterproof monitoring and control function also includes a protective cover 24. The bottom of the female plug 2 is connected to the protective cover 24. The air pump 8 and the control module 13 are both located in the protective cover 24. The air outlet pipe 9 is sealed and passes through the bottom of the protective cover 24. The protective cover 24 can protect the air pump 8 and the control module 13 to prevent the air pump 8 and the control module 13 from being damaged.
