Furthermore, the connector 1 and the plug pin 2 are formed into one piece by plastic coating, which further improves the stability of the connection and makes it difficult for the connector 1 and the plug pin 2 to have relative displacement, so as to ensure that the energy storage connector can work normally. In addition, the corners of the protective cover 3 and the connector 1 are both rounded to reduce the possibility of sharp corners scratching the installer; at the same time, it can play a certain buffering role, and try to avoid the phenomenon of cracking caused by the corners of the protective cover 3 and the connector 1 hitting the ground or wall.

[0031] The detachable connection structure can be set as a magnetic structure, a threaded structure or a plug-in structure, etc. In this embodiment, the detachable connection structure is set as an elastic snap-on plug-in structure.

[0032] The first connecting component 4 includes an elastic arm 41 disposed on the protective cover 3, and a card slot 42 opened on the elastic arm 41. The protective cover 3 is boxed in a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole, and the side of the protective cover 3 close to the connecting seat 1 is an open surface. The port 31 is in a shape of a "F" as a whole, and the port 31 is integrally formed on the outer side of the protective cover 3 adjacent to the open surface. The elastic arms 41 in the two first connecting components 4 are respectively disposed on the opposite sides of the protective cover 3 adjacent to the port 31, and are located on the side of the protective cover 3 close to the open surface. The elastic arm 41 is in a rectangular plate shape as a whole, and the length direction of the elastic arm 41 is perpendicular to the length direction surface of the connecting seat 1. The end of the elastic arm 41 away from the connecting seat 1 is integrally formed on the protective cover 3, so that the elastic arm 41 can be deformed under the action of external force; the other end of the elastic arm 41 is close to the connecting seat 1, and is located on the side of the open surface of the protective cover 3 close to the connecting seat 1, and the card slot 42 is opened at one end of the elastic arm 41 close to the connecting seat 1.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the second connecting components 5 are all located on the same side of the connecting seat 1 close to the protective cover 3, and the second connecting components 5 are all located in the middle of the four sides of the connecting seat 1. The second connecting component 5 includes a slot 51, and a limiting member 52 and an undercut 53 are integrally formed on the side of the bottom of the slot 51 close to the protective cover 3. The limiting member 52 is in the shape of a rectangular plate as a whole, including a first limiting plate 521, the first limiting plate 521 is in the shape of a rectangular plate as a whole, the length direction surface of the first limiting plate 521 is perpendicular to the length direction surface of the connecting seat 1, and the length direction of the first limiting plate 521 fits the edge of the adjacent connecting seat 1. The second limiting plates 522 are vertically extended from both ends of the length direction of the first limiting plate 521 close to the side of the connecting tube 12, and the undercut 53 is arranged between the two first limiting plates 521. The undercut 53 is in the shape of a rectangular plate as a whole, and the length direction surface of the undercut 53 is perpendicular to the bottom of the slot 51. A clamping portion 54 extends from a side of the undercut 53 away from the connecting seat 1 and close to the first limiting plate 521 adjacent to the undercut 53 , and the clamping portion 54 is clamped and matched with the clamping groove 42 on the elastic arm 41 .

[0034] Before installing the protective cover 3, first confirm the direction of the port 31 and then install the protective cover 3. When installing the protective cover 3, insert the protective cover 3 along the limiting member 52 of the connecting seat 1 between the limiting member 52 and the undercut 53, so that the elastic arm 41 slides down under force, and then the card slot 42 slides in and snaps on the snap-on portion 54 on the undercut 53, thereby achieving the installation of the protective cover 3 and the connecting seat 1. When it is necessary to remove the protective cover 3, press the pressing portion 411 of the elastic arm 41 with your fingers to deform the elastic arm 41 under force, so that the snap-on portion 42 moves away from the snap-on portion 54, and then pull out the protective cover 3 in the direction away from the connecting seat 1 to achieve the removal of the protective cover 3. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the cable, the protective cover 3 can be quickly plugged in and out through the above process, and after adjusting the port 31 to a suitable angle, the above process can be used to achieve quick installation, and at the same time, it provides convenience to a certain extent for the installation process.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 On this basis, a clearance groove 32 is provided on the side wall of the protective cover 3 corresponding to the second connecting component 5 where the port 31 is located, so that the vacant second connecting component 5 will not interfere with the installation of the protective cover 3 as much as possible. The middle position of the elastic arm 41 is set as a pressing portion 411, and the opposite sides of the pressing portion 411 are extended outwardly and in parallel, and the extended portion is in the shape of an arc plate, so that the pressing area can be expanded to apply pressure to the elastic arm 41. The outer surface of the pressing portion 411 away from the center of the protective cover 3 is provided with a plurality of anti-skid ribs 43, and the length direction of the anti-skid ribs 43 is perpendicular to the length direction of the elastic arm 41, and the plurality of anti-skid ribs 43 are arranged equidistantly along the length direction of the elastic arm 41. The use of the anti-skid ribs 43 can minimize the influence of finger sweat on the pressing operation when applying pressure through the fingers, and increase the gripping force of the fingers on the protective cover 3, making installation and disassembly easier. In addition, two reinforcing ribs 44 are provided on one side of the elastic arm 41 away from the anti-slip rib 43, the length direction of the reinforcing rib 44 is parallel to the length direction of the elastic arm 41, and the two reinforcing ribs 44 are respectively close to the two sides of the length direction of the elastic arm 41. The use of the reinforcing ribs 44 can greatly enhance the toughness of the elastic arm 41 and ensure the strength of the elastic arm 41.
