Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a Type-C connector with a waterproof and dustproof plugging part. Background Art

[0002] At present, the slot is a physical link that connects each isolated workstation or host together to form a data link, thereby achieving the purpose of power transmission, resource sharing and communication. The slot is equivalent to a socket connected to the motherboard. Common slots include CPU slots and USB slots. After so many years of development, the slot interface mode includes pin type, card type, contact type, pin type, etc. Different interface types require corresponding changes in the number of slots, volume, and shape. The slot and the port plug cannot be plugged into each other or can be plugged in but the interface is blocked by dust, which makes it difficult to achieve the function of the slot. Existing slots, such as common USB slots, are generally folded by metal sheets. The slots folded by metal sheets have a gap on the outside of the slot because the two ends of the metal sheet cannot fit tightly. After long-term use, dust or water can easily enter the inside of the slot from the gap and accumulate. During the plug-in and use of the slot and the port plug, dust or water will affect the connectivity between the slot and the port plug, making the connection between the slot and the port plug unstable, which makes it difficult to achieve the function of the slot. For example, Chinese patent CN211088630U discloses a new USB Type-C slot. The new USB The Type-C slot has a simple and compact structure, and the slot body is an integrated structure that is dustproof and waterproof. Compared with the prior art, the integrated slot body prevents dust or water from entering the interior of the slot and affecting the stability of the connection between the slot and the port plug. However, the outside of the slot of the utility model has no protection and there is still a risk of water and dust entering. Therefore, a Type-C connector with a waterproof and dustproof plugging point is proposed to solve the problems mentioned in the above background. Utility Model Content

[0042] The upper rack 2045 and the lower rack 2046 are driven to move by the gear column 2051, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the left door 2041 and the right door 2042.

[0043] Specifically, the connecting plate 103 and the bottom plate 202 are fixedly connected via a spring 2021 .

[0044] The spring 2021 enables the bottom plate 202 to cover the Type-C interface 104 with the protective cover 2 without the action of external force, thereby preventing the Type-C interface 104 from being contaminated by moisture and dust.

[0045] When in use, it is first necessary to turn the knob 2052 to drive the gear column 2051 to rotate. The upper rack 2045 and the lower rack 2046 that are meshed with the gear column 2051 will be forced to drive the left door 2041 and the right door 2042 to open outward. After the installation port 203 is exposed, the protective cover 2 is squeezed by connecting the corresponding device. The cover body 201 pushes the bottom plate 202 to overcome the tension of the spring 2021 and slide along the direction of the slide groove 1011 until the device is connected to the Type-C interface 104. Then, it can start working. After the charger data transmission is completed, the Type-C interface 104 is pulled out. The protective cover 2 returns to its original position under the action of the elastic force of the spring 2021. The knob 2052 is turned in the opposite direction to make the left door 2041 and the right door 2042 tightly meshed through the vertical groove 2043 and the vertical plate 2044 to prevent dust and water from entering and ensure the safety of the equipment.
