[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 as shown, this embodiment provides a TYPE-C waterproof connector, which includes a connector head 1, and further includes:
[0028] A plug 8, which is arranged on one side of the connector head 1;
[0029] A protective cover 2, which is arranged outside the plug 8;
[0030] An adjusting assembly, which is arranged on the upper surface of the connector head 1 and is used to open and close the protective cover 2;
[0031] The fixing plates 4 are symmetrically arranged outside the protective cover 2. The upper surfaces of the two fixing plates 4 are fixedly connected with a U-shaped plate 5, and clamping plates 6 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the U-shaped plate 5.
[0032] The fixing components are symmetrically arranged outside the connecting head 1 and are used to fix the positions of the two clamping plates 6, so as to be able to fix the position of the protective cover 2.
[0033] The above working principle: When the plug 8 needs to be used, just open the protective cover 2 through the adjusting component, and then fix the position of the protective cover 2 through the fixing component. At this time, the plug 8 can be exposed to the external environment, which is convenient for the user to use. When the plug 8 does not need to be used, just release the fixing of the protective cover 2 through the fixing component. At this time, the adjusting component can drive the protective cover 2 to move synchronously for reset. The protective cover 2 can effectively protect the plug 8 from dust, water and collision, thus prolonging the service life of the plug 8 and the connecting head 1, saving time and effort.
[0034] In order to effectively and conveniently open and close the protective cover 2, the adjusting component includes a mounting plate 12 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting head 1. Support plates 13 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the mounting plate 12. A fixing rod 17 is fixedly connected between the two support plates 13. A micro torsion spring 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing rod 17. The other end of the micro torsion spring 18 is fixedly connected to a rotating sleeve 19. A connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating sleeve 19. The other end of the connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective cover 2. When the protective cover 2 needs to be opened, just dial the protective cover 2. At this time, the protective cover 2 drives the connecting plate 20 to move synchronously. The connecting plate 20 drives the rotating sleeve 19 to rotate synchronously. The rotating sleeve 19 then stretches the micro torsion spring 18 synchronously. At this time, the protective cover 2 can be opened, which is convenient for the user to use the plug 8. When the protective cover 2 needs to be closed, just release the protective cover 2. At this time, the micro torsion spring 18 resets, drives the rotating sleeve 19 to rotate synchronously. The rotating sleeve 19 drives the connecting plate 20 to move synchronously. The connecting plate 20 then drives the protective cover 2 to move synchronously for reset. At this time, the protective cover 2 can be conveniently closed, so as to effectively protect the plug 8 through the protective cover 2.
[0035] Considering that the protective cover 2 needs to be opened first when the plug 8 is used, a lifting plate 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective cover 2. An anti-slip sleeve is bonded to the outside of the lifting plate 3. When the protective cover 2 needs to be opened, just dial the lifting plate 3 to open the protective cover 2. The anti-slip sleeve can effectively increase the friction between the user's hand and the lifting plate 3, so that the user can more conveniently open the protective cover 2.
[0036] In order to effectively improve the waterproof performance of the protective cover 2, a rubber sealing ring 11 is bonded to the other side of the protective cover 2. When the protective cover 2 is in a closed state, the rubber sealing ring 11 will always be in contact with the outside of the connector 1. At this time, the rubber sealing ring 11 can effectively improve the sealing between the protective cover 2 and the connector 1, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the protective cover 2.
[0037] In order to fix the position of the protective cover 2 after opening the protective cover 2, so as to prevent the protective cover 2 from affecting the normal use of the plug 8, the fixing assembly includes a mounting block 7 symmetrically arranged on the outside of the connector 1, a mounting rod 21 is arranged inside the two mounting blocks 7, one end of the two mounting rods 21 is fixedly connected to a movable plate 22, the other side of the two movable plates 22 is fixedly connected to a plug-in board 23, one side of the two mounting blocks 7 is provided with a guide groove for the plug-in board 23 to move, the inside of the two card plates 6 is provided with a guide groove for the plug-in board 23 to move, the outside of the two mounting rods 21 is sleeved with a return spring 24, the two return springs 24 are in contact between the movable plate 22 and the mounting block 7, the other ends of the two mounting rods 21 extend to the outside of the mounting block 7 and are fixedly connected to the fixed block 14, the upper surfaces of the two fixed blocks 14 are fixedly connected to connecting rods 15, and the tops of the two connecting rods 15 The end is fixedly connected with a pull plate 16. When the position of the protective cover 2 needs to be fixed, it is only necessary to pull the pull plate 16 first. At this time, the pull plate 16 drives the connecting rod 15 to move synchronously, and the connecting rod 15 drives the fixing block 14 to move synchronously. The fixing block 14 drives the mounting rod 21 to move synchronously, and the mounting rod 21 drives the moving plate 22 to move synchronously, and the moving plate 22 drives the plug-in plate 23 to move synchronously. During the movement of the moving plate 22, the reset spring 24 will be squeezed. At this time, the protective cover 2 is pulled up again. When the protective cover 2 is fully opened, the pull plate 16 is released. At this time, the reset spring 24 is reset, driving the moving plate 22 to move synchronously, and the moving plate 22 drives the plug-in plate 23 to move synchronously. When the plug-in plate 23 is plugged into the guide groove inside the card plate 6, the position of the card plate 6 can be fixed, thereby fixing the position of the protective cover 2, and the plug 8 can be used normally at this time.
[0038] In addition, in order to improve the stability of the protective cover 2 when it is in the closed state, the bottom of the protective cover 2 is fixedly connected to a bottom plate 9, and the bottom of the connecting head 1 is fixedly connected to a lower plate 10. A guide groove for the movement of the bottom plate 9 is opened inside the lower plate 10. When the protective cover 2 is in the closed state, the bottom plate 9 will be driven to be inserted into the guide groove inside the lower plate 10. At this time, the cooperation between the lower plate 10 and the bottom plate 9 can effectively improve the stability of the protective cover 2 in the closed state, thereby improving the protective effect of the protective cover 2.
