The conical structure can increase the strength of the protective shell to a certain extent and improve its resistance to external impact.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of the friction rings are provided, and the plurality of friction rings are linearly and evenly arranged along the central axis of the protective sleeve.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple friction rings increase the contact area between the fingers and the protective cover, thereby providing stronger friction, allowing the user to hold the adapter more firmly and reducing the risk of connection failure or device damage due to slippage.

[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of the clamping rings are provided, and the plurality of the clamping rings are linearly and evenly arranged along the central axis of the protective sleeve.

[0021] Furthermore, a dustproof mechanism is fixedly connected to the other side of the protective cover, and the dustproof mechanism includes a dustproof block, and the material of the dustproof block is rubber.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the dust-proof mechanism is used to block dust, dirt and other impurities from entering the interior of the adapter, keep the interior clean, prevent dust and other impurities from accumulating in the socket, ensure the normal operation and stable performance of the adapter, and the dust block directly faces the external environment to effectively block the entry of dust and other impurities.

[0023] Furthermore, a plurality of dust blocking blocks are provided, and the plurality of dust blocking blocks are evenly distributed in a ring shape along the central axis of the joint body.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple dust blocks are evenly distributed in a ring shape along the central axis of the connector body to form a complete dust barrier, protecting the adapter without dead angles, thereby reducing the erosion and damage of the internal components of the adapter by dust and other impurities.

[0025] In summary, the utility model mainly has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The utility model provides a protective mechanism and a rubber sleeve, and the clamping ring and the protective sleeve are clamped together to ensure that the connector body can be protected in the protective sleeve to avoid damage to its appearance.
