[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: an electronic connector with a terminal protection structure, including a connector body 1, a housing 2 and a cover plate 3. The connector body 1 is installed inside the housing 2. A second silica gel ring 4 is installed on one side of the housing 2, and a connecting rod 25 is fixedly connected to the top inside the housing 2. Installation grooves 7 are opened on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the housing 2. A connection component 6 is inserted into the inner wall of the installation groove 7. At the same time, the cover plate 3 is hinged to the outer wall of the connecting rod 25. A display 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the cover plate 3, and a second annular protective ring 32 is installed on one side of the cover plate 3. Baffles 33 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the cover plate 3. At the same time, card slots 34 are opened on both the left and right sides of the cover plate 3. A first silica gel pad 35 is installed on one side of the cover plate 3 and inside the second annular protective ring 32.

[0024] Through the housing 2, the connector body 1, the second silica gel ring 4 and the connecting rod 25 can be installed respectively. Since the cover plate 3 is hinged to the outer wall of the connecting rod 25, and installation grooves 7 are opened on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the housing 2, the connection component 6 is inserted into the inner wall of the installation groove 7. At the same time, card slots 34 are opened on both the left and right sides of the cover plate 3. After the connector body 1 is connected, the cover plate 3 is pressed down and rotates around the hinge point of the connecting rod 25 as the axis, so that the cover plate 3 is located on the top of the entire housing 2. However, when the cover plate 3 is moved down to an appropriate distance, the connection component 6 on both the left and right sides of the cover plate 3 is compressed and contracts along the inner wall of the installation groove 7. At this time, under the elastic action of the connection component 6, the connection component 6 is clamped into the inner wall of the card slot 34, and then the cover plate 3 can be fixed on the top of the housing 2, so that the connector body 1 can be closed. And since baffles 33 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the cover plate 3, the two baffles 33 can cover the top of the housing 2 at this time, and then dust can be blocked from entering the inner wall of the housing 2.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , on one side of the housing 2 and outside the second silicone ring 4, a first annular protective ring 21 is installed. At the same time, stoppers 22 are installed at both the left and right ends of the inner wall of the housing 2. On the other side of the housing 2, a protective ring 23 is fixedly connected. At the bottom inside the housing 2, a cushion block 24 is fixedly installed. On one side inside the housing 2, a temperature sensor 5 is fixedly installed, and the temperature sensor 5 is connected to the display 31 through a wire.

[0026] Through the housing 2, the connector body 1, the first annular protective ring 21, the stoppers 22, the protective ring 23, and the temperature sensor 5 can be installed. Since the temperature sensor 5 is connected to the display 31 through a wire, when the housing 2 and the cover plate 3 protect the end of the connector body 1, the temperature sensor 5 can detect the real-time temperature of the inner wall of the housing 2 through the display 31, thereby avoiding the occurrence of spontaneous combustion due to excessive temperature after the connector body 1 is connected and used for a long time, and avoiding potential safety hazards and losses to users.

[0027] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the cover plate 3 is in an "L" shape, and one side of the cover plate 3 is hinged to the outer wall of the connecting rod 25. Both card slots 34 are perpendicular to the two connecting components 6. The first silicone pad 35 and the second silicone ring 4 are both semi-circular, and the first silicone pad 35 and the second silicone ring 4 are respectively installed on one side of the cover plate 3 and the housing 2, and the first silicone pad 35 and the second silicone ring 4 are perpendicular to each other.

[0028] By hinging the cover plate 3 to one side of the connecting rod 25, the cover plate 3 can be pressed down, so that the cover plate 3 rotates around the hinge of the connecting rod 25 as the axis, and then the cover plate 3 can be installed on the top of the housing 2. And since both card slots 34 are perpendicular to the connecting components 6, when the cover plate 3 moves down to an appropriate distance, the left and right sides of the cover plate 3 compress the connecting components 6 and contract along the inner wall of the installation groove 7. Under the elastic action of the connecting components 6, the connecting components 6 can be snapped into the inner wall of the card slots 34, and then the cover plate 3 can be fixed on the top of the housing 2. At the same time, since the first silicone pad 35 and the second silicone ring 4 are perpendicular to each other, when the cover plate 3 is located on the top of the housing 2, the first silicone pad 35 is located on the top of the second silicone ring 4 and forms a complete circle, which can protect the wire harness at the insertion end of the connector body 1. At the same time, the housing 2 and the cover plate 3 protect the end of the connector body 1 and improve safety.

[0029] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5, the connecting component 6 includes a plug rod 601. The plug rod 601 respectively penetrates through the inner walls of the housing 2 and the mounting groove 7. A limiting block 603 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug rod 601 and located on the inner wall of the mounting groove 7. And the inner side of the plug rod 601 is inclined. A convex block 602 is fixedly connected to the other side of the plug rod 601. At the same time, a spring 604 is fixedly connected between one side of the limiting block 603 and one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 7. And the spring 604 is respectively located on the outer walls of the mounting groove 7 and the plug rod 601.

[0030] Through the plug rod 601 in the connecting component 6, the convex block 602 and the limiting block 603 can be installed. Since the plug rod 601 respectively penetrates through the inner walls of the housing 2 and the mounting groove 7, and a spring 604 is fixedly connected between one side of the limiting block 603 and one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 7. At the same time, the inner side of the plug rod 601 is inclined. Thus, after the cover plate 3 is pressed down to an appropriate distance, the cover plate 3 contacts the inclined surface of the plug rod 601. At the same time, the pressure compresses the plug rod 601 and drives the limiting block 603 and the convex block 602 to slide along the inner wall of the mounting groove 7 respectively. At this time, the spring 604 is compressed. And under the elastic action of the spring 604, after the cover plate 3 is completely located on the top of the housing 2, the spring 604 respectively pushes the convex block 602, the limiting block 603 and the plug rod 601 to reset along the mounting groove 7. Furthermore, the plug rod 601 can be inserted into the inner wall of the card slot 34 to fix the cover plate 3, so as to protect the end of the connector body 1.

[0031] During operation, the connector body 1, the second silica gel ring 4 and the connecting rod 25 can be respectively installed through the housing 2. Since the cover plate 3 is hinged to the outer wall of the connecting rod 25, and mounting grooves 7 are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the housing 2. The connecting component 6 is inserted into the inner wall of the mounting groove 7. At the same time, card slots 34 are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the cover plate 3. Thus, after the connector body 1 is connected, the cover plate 3 is pressed down and rotates around the hinge joint of the connecting rod 25 as the axis, so that the cover plate 3 is located on the top of the complete housing 2. However, when the cover plate 3 is pressed down to an appropriate distance, the left and right sides of the cover plate 3 compress the connecting component 6 and contract along the inner wall of the mounting groove 7. At this time, under the elastic action of the connecting component 6, the connecting component 6 is inserted into the inner wall of the card slot 34. Furthermore, the cover plate 3 can be fixed on the top of the housing 2, so as to enclose the connector body 1. And since baffle plates 33 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the cover plate 3, at this time, the two baffle plates 33 can cover the top of the housing 2, so as to prevent dust from entering the inner wall of the housing 2.

[0032] Through the housing 2, the connector body 1, the first annular protective ring 21, the stopper 22, the protective ring 23 and the temperature sensor 5 can be installed. Since the temperature sensor 5 is connected to the display 31 through a wire, when the housing 2 and the cover plate 3 protect the end of the connector body 1, the temperature sensor 5 can detect the real-time temperature of the inner wall of the housing 2 through the display 31, thereby avoiding the occurrence of spontaneous combustion due to excessive temperature after the connector body 1 is connected and used for a long time, and thus avoiding potential safety hazards and losses to users.

[0033] The cover plate 3 is connected to one side of the connecting rod 25, so that the cover plate 3 can be pressed down, and the cover plate 3 can rotate around the hinge of the connecting rod 25 as the axis, and then the cover plate 3 can be installed on the top of the housing 2. And since the card slots 34 are all perpendicular to the connecting component 6, when the cover plate 3 moves down to an appropriate distance, the left and right sides of the cover plate 3 compress the connecting component 6 and contract along the inner wall of the installation groove 7. And under the elastic action of the connecting component 6, the connecting component 6 can be snapped into the inner wall of the card slot 34, and then the cover plate 3 can be fixed on the top of the housing 2. At the same time, since the silicone pad 1 35 is perpendicular to the silicone ring 2 4, when the cover plate 3 is located on the top of the housing 2, the silicone pad 1 35 is located on the top of the silicone ring 2 4 and forms a complete circle, which can protect the wire harness at the plug-in end of the connector body 1. At the same time, the housing 2 and the cover plate 3 protect the end of the connector body 1 and improve safety.

[0034] The plug rod 601 in the connecting component 6 can be used to install the convex block 602 and the limiting block 603. Since the plug rod 601 penetrates the inner walls of the housing 2 and the installation groove 7 respectively, and one side of the limiting block 603 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the installation groove 7 by a spring 604, and the inner side of the plug rod 601 is inclined. When the cover plate 3 is pressed down to an appropriate distance, the cover plate 3 contacts the inclined surface of the plug rod 601, and at the same time, the pressure compresses the plug rod 601 and drives the limiting block 603 and the convex block 602 to slide along the inner wall of the installation groove 7 respectively. At this time, the spring 604 is compressed, and under the elastic action of the spring 604, after the cover plate 3 is completely located on the top of the housing 2, the spring 604 respectively pushes the convex block 602, the limiting block 603 and the plug rod 601 to reset along the installation groove 7, so that the plug rod 601 can be snapped into the inner wall of the card slot 34 to fix the cover plate 3, thereby protecting the end of the connector body 1.

[0035] In summary, when the cover plate 3 of the device is pressed down and rotates down around the hinge of the connecting rod 25 as the axis, under the action of pressure, the cover plate 3 compresses the connecting component 6 and contracts along the inner wall of the installation groove 7. Under the elastic action of the connecting component 6, the connecting component 6 is reset and snapped into the inner wall of the card slot 34, and then the cover plate 3 can be fixed on the top of the housing 2, thereby protecting the end of the connector body 1.
