Protective underwater cable connectors can ensure the stability and reliability of data transmission and power supply between submarine equipment and onshore equipment. Underwater cable connectors used in submarine communication systems can connect submarine optical cables, cables, etc. to ensure the normal operation of submarine communication networks. These connectors need to be able to work stably for a long time in harsh marine environments and have good waterproof performance and corrosion resistance.

[0027] The outside of the snap plate 7 is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 2 8, and then the snap plate 7 moves, which will drive the fixed plate 2 8 to move. The outside of the fixed plate 2 8 is rotationally connected to a connecting component, and then the fixed plate 2 8 moves, which will drive the connecting component to move. The outside of the connecting component is rotationally connected to a fixed plate 3 10, and then the connecting component moves, which will drive the fixed plate 3 10 to move. The connecting component includes a connecting plate 9, one side of the connecting plate 9 is rotationally connected to the outside of the fixed plate 2 8, and the other side of the connecting plate 9 is rotationally connected to the outside of the fixed plate 3 10, so that the fixed plate 2 8 and the fixed plate 3 10 can make the movement of the connecting plate 9 more stable, the bottom of the fixed plate 3 10 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 11, and then the fixed plate 3 10 moves, which will drive the sliding block 11 to move, the inner wall of the cavity 5 is fixedly connected to a bearing plate 12, and the outside of the bearing plate 12 is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft 13, so that the bearing plate 12 can provide support for the fixed shaft 13.

[0028] The other end of the fixed shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 5. The rubber ring 3 is made of rubber, which can effectively seal the interface of the connector to prevent moisture, seawater and other liquids from entering the interior of the connector. This ensures that the cables and connectors in the connector will not be damaged by water intrusion, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connector.

The protective plate 16 and the protective plate 2 17 are fixedly connected by bolts, so that the interior of the device can be fixed and sealed again by bringing the protective plate 16 and the protective plate 2 17 close to each other, thereby achieving multiple sealing and protection of the interior of the connector, and thus effectively improving the service life of the device.

[0031] Compared with some existing technologies, the above content enables the device to be used in the process of inserting the insertion plate 2 into the cavity 5, and then the locking plate 7 will fix the insertion plate 2, and then the device can be quickly installed, thereby reducing the workload of the staff, and then the device can be put into use faster. The material of the rubber ring 3 is rubber ring 3, which can prevent moisture, seawater and other liquids from entering the interior of the connector, and then the interior of the connector can be sealed and protected, and then the interior of the device can be fixed and sealed again by connecting the cable 15 and the protective plate 16.

[0032] Working principle: when the device needs to be installed, first insert the insertion plate 2 into the cavity 5, so that the insertion plate 2 will press the snap plate 7, and then the snap plate 7 will rotate outside the fixed plate 1 6, and then the snap plate 7 will drive the fixed plate 2 8 to move, so that the fixed plate 2 8 will drive the connecting plate 9 to move, and then the connecting plate 9 will drive the fixed plate 3 10 to move, and then the fixed plate 3 10 will drive the sliding block 11 to move, so that the sliding block 11 will slide outside the fixed shaft 13, and then the fixed shaft 13 will compress the spring 14 during the sliding process, and then the insertion plate 2 can completely enter the interior of the cavity 5, and then the insertion plate 2 will Stop pressing the snap plate 7, so that the snap plate 7 will be reset under the restoring force of the spring 14, and then the snap plate 7 can prevent the insertion plate 2 from sliding out of the cavity 5, and then the connector female head 4 and the connector male head 1 can be fixed to each other, and because the connector female head 4 and the connector male head 1 are directly provided with a rubber ring 3, the connector female head 4 and the connector male head 1 will compress the rubber ring 3, and then the rubber ring 3 can effectively seal the interface of the connector to prevent moisture, seawater and other liquids from entering the interior of the connector, so as to ensure that the cables and connectors in the connector will not be damaged by water intrusion, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connector.

[0033] After the connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 is completed, the protective plate 1 16 can be placed on the top of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4, and then the protective plate 2 17 can be placed on the bottom of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4.
