DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0024] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7As shown, it is a structural diagram of a stable protection structure of a connector provided by an embodiment of the present invention, comprising a base 1 and a socket 2, wherein a connection hole 11 is opened on the surface of the base 1, and a joint 21 that cooperates with the connection hole 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the socket 2, and a protection mechanism 3 that cooperates with the socket 2 is arranged on the surface of the base 1, and the protection mechanism 3 includes a protection plate 31, a positioning component 32 and a control component 33, and the protection plate 31 is provided with multiple groups, and the multiple groups of protection plates 31 are distributed in a ring with equal spacing around the connection hole 11, and the positioning component 32 is located on the surface of the base 1 and connected to the protection plate 31, and the positioning component 32 is used to position the multiple groups of protection plates 31 on the outside of the base 1. The control component 33 includes a rotating part 331 and a limiting part 332. The rotating part 331 is located in the base 1 and is connected to the positioning component 32. The rotating part 331 controls the protective plate 31 to rotate outside the base 1 by cooperating with the positioning component 32. The limiting part 332 is located on the surface of the base 1 and is connected to the rotating part 331. The limiting part 332 is used to limit the rotation angle of the protective plate 31 by cooperating with the rotating part 331, so that the protective plate 31 rotates one hundred and eighty degrees at a time. A waterproof component 4 is provided between the base 1 and the socket 2, and the waterproof component 4 is used to seal the gap between the base 1 and the socket 2.

[0026] Initially, the limiting portion 332, the rotating portion 331 and the positioning assembly 32 cooperate with each other to position the protective plate 31. At this time, the multiple groups of protective plates 31 are distributed toward the outside of the connecting hole 11. When the connector is connected, the socket 2 is inserted into the surface of the base 1. At this time, the connector 21 is inserted into the connecting hole 11. After the socket 2 is installed on the surface of the base 1, the limiting portion 332, the rotating portion 331 and the positioning assembly 32 cooperate with each other to control the multiple groups of protective plates 31 to rotate synchronously by one hundred and eighty degrees. At this time, the multiple groups of protective plates 31 rotate to the surface of the socket 2. The multiple groups of protective plates 31 cooperate with the positioning assembly 32, and the socket 2 can be fully protected on the surface of the base 1, which effectively improves the stability of the socket 2 on the surface of the base 1 and prevents the socket 2 from loosening on the surface of the base 1. When the socket 2 needs to be unplugged, the limiting part 332, the rotating part 331 and the positioning assembly 32 cooperate with each other to control the multiple sets of protective plates 31 to rotate synchronously 180 degrees in the opposite direction. At this time, the multiple sets of protective plates 31 rotate to the outside of the socket 2, and the socket 2 can be easily pulled out from the surface of the base 1.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the positioning assembly 32 includes a plurality of mounting holes 321 opened on the surface of the base 1 and distributed in a ring shape around the connecting hole 11, and a load-bearing rod 322 is rotatably installed in the mounting hole 321, and one end of the load-bearing rod 322 extends to the outside of the base 1 and is fixedly connected to the protective plate 31.

[0028] The bearing rod 322 supports and positions the protective plate 31 on the surface of the base 1. Initially, the protective plate 31 is distributed in a direction away from the connection hole 11. After the socket 2 is inserted into the surface of the base 1, the limiting portion 332 cooperates with the rotating portion 331 to control the bearing rod 322 to rotate 180 degrees. The bearing rod 322 drives the protective plate 31 to rotate 180 degrees synchronously. At this time, the protective plate 31 rotates to the surface of the socket 2. The protective plate 31 and the socket 2 fit each other. Multiple groups of protective plates 31 can stably protect the socket 2. When the socket 2 needs to be pulled out, the limiting portion 332 cooperates with the rotating portion 331 to control the bearing rod 322 to rotate 180 degrees in the opposite direction. The bearing rod 322 drives the protective plate 31 to rotate synchronously to the outside of the socket 2. At this time, the socket 2 can be easily pulled out.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotating part 331 includes an annular control cavity 3311 opened inside the base 1, the end of the load-bearing rod 322 away from the protective plate 31 extends into the control cavity 3311 and is fixedly installed with a control gear disc 3312, a control ring 3313 is rotatably installed in the control cavity 3311, the control ring 3313 is located on the outside of the multiple groups of control gear discs 3312, and a gear ring 3314 meshingly connected to the control gear disc 3312 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the control ring 3313, and the control ring 3313 is connected to the limiting part 332.

[0030] When the socket 2 needs to be protected, the limiting portion 332 drives the control ring 3313 to rotate in the control cavity 3311, the control ring 3313 drives the gear ring 3314 to rotate synchronously, the gear ring 3314 engages with the control gear plate 3312 to drive the bearing rod 322 to rotate synchronously, and the bearing rod 322 drives the protective plate 31 to rotate synchronously.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting portion 332 includes an arc-shaped connecting groove 3321 opened inwardly on the surface of the base 1, and a connecting rod 3323 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the control ring 3313. The end of the connecting rod 3323 away from the control ring 3313 passes through the connecting groove 3321 and extends to the outside of the base 1 and is fixedly installed with a shift plate 3324. The shift plate 3324 is made of magnetic material, and two groups of magnetic plates 3322 that respectively cooperate with the shift plates 3324 are fixedly installed on the surface of the base 1, and the two groups of magnetic plates 3322 are relatively distributed on both sides of the connecting groove 3321.

[0032] Initially, the dial plate 3324 and the magnetic plate 3322 on one side of the connection slot 3321 are attached to each other, and the magnetic plate 3322 uses magnetic attraction to position the dial plate 3324. When the position of the protective plate 31 needs to be adjusted, the dial plate 3324 is pushed to move on the surface of the base 1, and the dial plate 3324 drives the connecting rod 3323 to move synchronously in the connection slot 3321, and the connecting rod 3323 drives the control ring 3313 to rotate synchronously in the control cavity 3311. When the dial plate 3324 moves to the other side of the connection slot 3321, the magnetic plate 3322 on the other side again uses magnetic attraction to position the dial plate 3324. In the process of the dial plate 3324 moving from the surface of one group of magnetic plates 3322 to the surface of another group of magnetic plates 3322, the carrying rod 322 drives the protective plate 31 to rotate synchronously by 180 degrees.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the waterproof component 4 includes an annular sealing groove 41 opened on the surface of the base 1, and a sealing ring 42 that cooperates with the sealing groove 41 is fixedly installed on the surface of the socket 2.

[0034] The socket 2 is inserted into the surface of the base 1 , and the sealing ring 42 is simultaneously inserted into the sealing groove 41 . The sealing ring 42 cooperates with the sealing groove 41 to seal and waterproof the gap between the socket 2 and the base 1 .

[0035] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a positioning member 5 cooperating with the control gear disc 3312 is arranged in the control cavity 3311, and the positioning member 5 includes a magnetic block 51 fixedly installed on the side wall of the control cavity 3311, and the magnetic block 51 is relatively distributed with the control gear disc 3312, and two groups of positioning plates 52 relatively distributed and cooperating with the magnetic block 51 are arranged on the surface of the control gear disc 3312, and the positioning plates 52 are made of magnetic material.

[0036] Initially, the magnetic block 51 and a group of positioning plates 52 are connected as a whole through magnetic attraction to position the control gear disc 3312. After the control gear disc 3312 rotates one hundred and eighty degrees, the magnetic block 51 is adsorbed and connected as a whole with another group of positioning plates 52 on the surface of the control gear disc 3312 through magnetic attraction, thereby effectively improving the stability of the control gear disc 3312.

[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side wall of the control cavity 3311 is provided with an annular guide groove 6, and a guide ring 7 is rotatably installed in the guide groove 6. The guide ring 7 extends to the outside of the guide groove 6 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the control ring 3313.

[0038] The working principle of the present invention is: the bearing rod 322 supports and positions the protective plate 31 on the surface of the base 1. Initially, the protective plate 31 is distributed in the direction away from the connecting hole 11. When the connector is connected, the socket 2 is inserted into the surface of the base 1. At this time, the connector 21 is inserted into the connecting hole 11. After the socket 2 is installed on the surface of the base 1, the dial plate 3324 is pushed to move on the surface of the base 1. The dial plate 3324 drives the connecting rod 3323 to move synchronously in the connecting groove 3321. The connecting rod 3323 drives the control ring 3313 to rotate synchronously in the control cavity 3311. When the dial plate 3324 moves to the other side of the connecting groove 3321, the magnetic plate 3322 on the other side adsorbs and positions the dial plate 3324 again through magnetic attraction. When the dial plate 3324 moves from the surface of one group of magnetic plates 3322 to the surface of another group of magnetic plates 3322, the control ring 3313 drives the gear ring 3314 to rotate synchronously, and the gear ring 3314 engages with the control gear plate 3312 to drive the bearing rod 322 to rotate synchronously, and the bearing rod 322 drives the protective plate 31 to rotate synchronously by 180 degrees. At this time, multiple groups of protective plates 31 rotate to the surface of the socket 2, and multiple groups of protective plates 31 cooperate with the positioning assembly 32 to provide all-round protection for the socket 2 on the surface of the base 1, effectively improving the stability of the socket 2 on the surface of the base 1 and preventing the socket 2 from loosening on the surface of the base 1. When the socket 2 needs to be pulled out, the dial plate 3324 moves from the surface of one group of magnetic plates 3322 to the surface of another group of magnetic plates 3322, and the bearing rod 322 rotates 180 degrees in the opposite direction, and the bearing rod 322 drives the protective plate 31 to rotate synchronously to the outside of the socket 2, and the socket 2 can be easily pulled out at this time.

[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in this field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
