AI Technical Summary
The existing wire plug structure has poor waterproofing ability, which causes water to penetrate into the shell easily, causing components to age and scrap, and the sealing ring to lose its sealing ability after aging, and cannot maintain a seal for a long time.
The annular airbag is compressed and deformed to fill the gap between the cover body connecting ring and the shell opening, and a sealing groove is formed through the combination of elastic bumps and limiting chutes to achieve the sealing connection between the housing and the cover body. Enclosed protection reduces the risk of air leakage, and the abutment between the limit ring and the housing and cover reduces leakage gap.
It achieves longer-term sealing, reduces the size and shape changes caused by aging of the airbag, reduces the aging problem of the sealing ring, and enhances the waterproof performance of the plug.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model particularly relates to a waterproof structure of an electric wire plug. Background Art
[0002] Most of the existing charging plug structures are provided with an opening at one end of the shell away from the pin, the electrical components are installed in the shell through the opening, and then the opening is directly closed by a cover plate. The structure is simple, but the waterproof ability is poor. Water can easily penetrate into the shell through the gap between the cover plate and the opening, causing the internal components to rust, resulting in the components being easily aged and scrapped.
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, Chinese patent announcement No. CN217009697U discloses a plug shell structure with good waterproof performance, and discloses a shell therein, wherein the lower end of the shell is provided with a pin, the upper end is provided with an opening, a cover plate is provided inside the opening, the inner edge of the opening is provided with a sinking platform formed by sinking downward, the inner edge of the sinking platform is provided with a waterproof baffle ring extending upward, a groove is formed between the waterproof baffle ring and the side wall of the sinking platform, a plug ring extending downward is provided on the edge of the cover plate, and the plug ring is inserted into the groove by interference fit; a rubber sealing pad is provided in the groove.
[0004] In summary, the existing seal between the plug housing and the cover body is achieved by combining the interference fit of the plug ring and the groove and the rubber sealing gasket. The applicant believes that the interference fit still has the risk of leakage due to factors such as the wear of the plug ring or insufficient interference of the plug ring. The key to achieving long-term sealing between the two lies in the sealing ring, but the sealing ring has an aging problem. As the use time increases, the elasticity of the sealing ring material gradually weakens, and it will lose its original size and shape and need to be replaced, so that the long-term maintenance of sealing cannot be fundamentally solved.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a waterproof structure for an electric wire plug to improve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the defects of the above-mentioned prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a waterproof structure for an electric wire plug.
[0007] A waterproof structure for a wire plug comprises a shell, wherein the upper end of the shell has an opening, the lower end of the shell is connected to a wire, a cover body is provided inside the opening, a plug pin is connected to the cover body, a connecting ring extends from one side of the cover body, the connecting ring can abut and cooperate with the circumferential side wall of the opening, a sealing groove is concave along the circumference on the outer side of the connecting ring, an annular airbag is sleeved in the sealing groove, a plurality of openings are provided along the circumference of the shell side wall, an elastic protrusion with elastic deformation is provided in the opening, the elastic protrusion can partially protrude outward from the inner cavity of the shell or the outer side of the shell through its own deformation, a limiting ring is sleeved on the outer side of the shell through a threaded connection; when the limiting ring abuts against the elastic protrusion, the elastic protrusion is locally deformed and displaced to abut against the annular airbag and extend into the sealing groove.
[0008] In one embodiment, the sealing groove is located on a side away from the pin and has a plurality of limiting bevel grooves concave along the circumference. The plurality of limiting bevel grooves are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of elastic protrusions. The elastic protrusions can be partially embedded in the limiting bevel grooves due to their own deformation.
[0009] In one embodiment, the surface of the elastic protrusion that contacts the limiting inclined groove is an inclined surface.
[0010] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the limiting ring is provided with anti-slip grooves.
[0011] In one embodiment, the elastic protrusion is made of rubber.
[0012] In one embodiment, the annular airbag is made of rubber.
[0013] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0014] The utility model fills the gap between the cover body connecting ring and the shell opening by filling the airbag under pressure and deformation, thereby realizing a sealed connection between the shell and the cover body. The airbag is located inside a sealing groove formed by the combination of the cover body and the shell, which can protect the airbag in a closed manner and reduce the possibility of airbag damage and air leakage. Therefore, the airbag will not lose its original size and shape due to aging due to the presence of gas, and can have a longer-term sealing performance compared with a sealing ring. The abutment between the limit ring and the shell and the cover body can reduce the gap for leakage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods:
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the utility model shown preferably provides a waterproof structure of a wire plug, including a shell 1, the upper end of the shell 1 has an opening 2, the lower end is connected to a wire 3, a cover body 4 is provided inside the opening 2, a pin 5 is connected to the cover body 4, a connecting ring 6 extends from one side of the cover body 4, the connecting ring 6 can abut and cooperate with the circumferential side wall of the opening 2, a sealing groove 7 is concave along the circumference of the outer side of the connecting ring 6, an annular airbag 8 is sleeved in the sealing groove 7, a plurality of openings 9 are provided along the circumference of the side wall of the shell 1, an elastic projection 10 of elastic deformation is provided in the opening 9, the elastic projection 10 can partially protrude outward from the inner cavity of the shell 1 or the outer side of the shell 1 through its own deformation, and a limiting ring 11 is sleeved on the outer side of the shell 1 through a threaded connection; when the limiting ring 11 abuts against the elastic projection 10, the elastic projection 10 is locally deformed and displaced to abut against the annular airbag 8 and extend into the sealing groove 7.
[0020] Specifically, the gap between the cover connecting ring and the shell opening is filled by deforming the airbag under pressure, thereby achieving a sealed connection between the shell and the cover, and the airbag is located inside the sealing groove formed by the combination of the cover and the shell, which can protect the airbag in a closed manner and reduce airbag damage and leakage. Therefore, the airbag will not lose its original size and shape due to aging due to the presence of gas, and can have a longer-term sealing performance compared with a sealing ring; and the abutment between the limit ring and the shell and the cover can reduce the leakage gap.

At this time, the cover body and the shell can be limited to prevent relative rotation, and the elastic protrusion is partially embedded in the limit bevel groove, which can simultaneously play a role in the complete positioning installation between the cover body and the shell.
