[0021] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a TYPE-C male connector, comprising a TYPE-C male connector 1, a step position 3 is fixedly installed at the front end of the TYPE-C male connector 1, a male metal sleeve 2 is fixedly installed at the front end of the step position 3, and the male metal sleeve 2 can provide certain protection for the internal terminal;

[0022] A movable groove 4 is provided on the front surface of the step position 3, and an outer guard 5 is slidably installed in the movable groove 4. The outer guard 5 is sleeved on the outside of the male metal sleeve 2. Springs 6 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the tail end of the outer guard 5. The other end of the spring 6 is fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the TYPE-C male connector 1. A long strip movable groove 7 is provided on the upper surface of the step position 3. A lever 8 is inserted in the movable groove 7. The movable groove 7 can provide a moving space for the lever 8 to move.

[0023] The bottom end of the lever 8 is fixedly connected to the outer protective member 5 , a connecting plate 9 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the top end of the lever 8 , and a positioning column 10 is inserted at one end of the connecting plate 9 away from the lever 8 .

[0024] Furthermore, a positioning hole 11 having a structure matching with the positioning pin 10 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the TYPE-C male connector 1;

[0025] With this structural design, when the TYPE-C male connector is used, the lever 8 can be manually pulled to move the lever 8 toward the side of the TYPE-C male connector 1. When the lever 8 moves, it will drive the outer guard 5 at the bottom to move synchronously. The outer guard 5 that moves synchronously will retract and be stored in the movable groove 4, so that the male metal sleeve 2 can be fully exposed, thereby completing the plugging work of the TYPE-C connection;

[0026] When the lever 8 drives the outer guard 5 to move toward the rear end, it compresses the spring 6, so that the spring 6 is in a compressed state. When the outer guard 5 is completely received in the movable groove 4, the positioning pin 10 on the lever 8 is vertically aligned with the positioning hole 11 on the TYPE-C male connector 1. At this time, the positioning pin 10 can be inserted into the positioning hole 11, thereby completing the positioning of the outer guard 5 to prevent it from extending.

[0027] When the TYPE-C male connector is not in use and needs to be protected, the positioning pin 10 inside the positioning hole 11 can be pulled out. After the positioning pin 10 is pulled out, the outer protector 5 will be reset after there is no limit blockage by the positioning pin 10, and the spring 6 compressed at the tail end thereof will pop out the outer protector 5, so that the outer protector 5 is extended along the movable groove 4, so that the extended outer protector 5 is wrapped around the outside of the male metal sleeve 2, thereby protecting the male metal sleeve 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to seal and protect the interface of the TYPE-C male connector, magnetic holes 14 are provided at the four corners of the front end surface of the outer protective member 5, and a magnetic sheet is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rear end of each magnetic hole 14;

[0029] Wherein, an end sealing plate 12 is provided at the front end of the male metal sleeve 2;

[0030] Furthermore, magnetic columns 13 matching the magnetic holes 14 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the back side of the end sealing plate 12;

[0031] According to the above structural description, when the outer protective member 5 extends out to wrap around the male metal sleeve 2, the magnetic column 13 of the end sealing plate 12 can be aligned with the magnetic hole 14 at the front end of the outer protective member 5. After alignment, the magnetic column 13 is inserted into the magnetic hole 14. Due to the effect of magnetic adsorption, the end sealing plate 12 can be fixed at the port of the outer protective member 5, so as to protect the end of the male metal sleeve 2. By using the outer protective member 5, the male metal sleeve 2 can be wrapped and sealed. In actual use, the terminal seat inside the male metal sleeve 2 can be effectively prevented from being eroded by external humid air or dust, thereby ensuring the use effect and increasing the service life.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] Please refer to the instruction manual for details. Figure 1-4 It is understood that when the TYPE-C male connector is used, the lever 8 can be manually pulled to move the lever 8 toward the side of the TYPE-C male connector 1. When the lever 8 moves, it will drive the outer guard 5 at the bottom to move synchronously. The outer guard 5 that moves synchronously will retract and be stored in the movable groove 4, so that the male metal sleeve 2 can be fully exposed, so that the TYPE-C positive plug-in connection work can be completed through the exposed male metal sleeve 2;

[0034] When the lever 8 drives the outer guard 5 to move toward the rear end, it compresses the spring 6, so that the spring 6 is in a compressed state. When the outer guard 5 is completely received in the movable groove 4, the positioning pin 10 on the lever 8 is vertically aligned with the positioning hole 11 on the TYPE-C male connector 1. At this time, the positioning pin 10 can be inserted into the positioning hole 11, so as to complete the positioning of the outer guard 5 and prevent it from extending out, thereby ensuring the normal use of the male connector metal sleeve 2, and having a certain structural positioning effect;

[0035] When the connection end of the TYPE-C male connector is not in use and needs to be protected, the positioning pin 10 in the positioning hole 11 can be pulled out. When the positioning pin 10 is pulled out, the outer guard 5 is not blocked by the positioning pin 10, and the spring 6 compressed at the tail end thereof will reset, thereby popping out the outer guard 5, so that the outer guard 5 is extended along the movable groove 4, so that the extended outer guard 5 can be wrapped around the outside of the male metal sleeve 2, thereby achieving a preliminary protection effect on the male metal sleeve 2;

[0036] When the outer protective member 5 extends out to wrap around the male metal sleeve 2, the magnetic column 13 of the end sealing plate 12 can be aligned with the magnetic hole 14 at the front end of the outer protective member 5. After alignment, the magnetic column 13 is inserted into the magnetic hole 14. Due to the effect of magnetic adsorption, the end sealing plate 12 can be fixed at the port of the outer protective member 5, so that the end of the male metal sleeve 2 can be protected. By using it in conjunction with the extended outer protective member 5, the wrapped sealing protection work of the male metal sleeve 2 can be completed. In actual use, the terminal seat inside the male metal sleeve 2 can be effectively prevented from being eroded by external humid air or dust, thereby ensuring the use effect and increasing the service life;

[0037] The entire outer protective structure is arranged in the step position of the male connector, and is an integral protective structure used in conjunction with the male connector. The outer protective structure can store the spring without delaying the normal connection, does not take up too much space, has good performance, simple structure, low manufacturing and maintenance costs, and is highly practical.

[0038] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
