Specific embodiments

[0026] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present utility model easy to understand, the following will further elaborate on the present utility model in conjunction with the 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 the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] As Figures 1-6 shown, the present utility model provides a waterproof DC male connector, including a plastic housing 1, a terminal is provided at the front end of the plastic housing 1, an electric wire 7 is provided at the rear end of the plastic housing 1, an insulating terminal housing 2 located at the outer end of the terminal is provided at the front end of the plastic housing 1, and a blocking component 6 is provided at the bottom of the plastic housing 1;

[0028] The blocking component 6 includes an extension rod 603, a cover plate 601 is fixedly provided at the front end of the extension rod 603, and a sealing gasket 602 in contact with the front end of the insulating terminal housing 2 is fixedly provided on the side of the cover plate 601 facing the insulating terminal housing 2;

[0029] Both sides of the rear end of the extension rod 603 are fixedly provided with fixed shafts 607. The outer ends of the fixed shafts 607 are provided with fixing plates 604 through rotating shafts, and the fixing plates 604 are fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the plastic housing 1.

[0030] One end of the fixed shaft 607 away from the extension rod 603 penetrates through the fixing plate 604 and is fixedly provided with an end plate 605. A torsion spring 606 is arranged between the end plate 605 and the corresponding fixing plate 604 on one side. The torsion spring 606 is arranged at the outer end of the fixed shaft 607, and both ends of the torsion spring 606 are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 604 and the end plate 605 respectively.

[0031] In the idle state, the torsion spring 606 is in a slightly tightened state. The elastic force of the torsion spring 606 drives the end plate 605 and the fixed shaft 607, and then drives the extension rod 603 through the fixed shaft 607, so that the cover plate 601 is maintained at the front end of the insulating terminal housing 2. The sealing gasket 602 on the cover plate 601 seals the front end of the insulating terminal housing 2, preventing moisture from entering the inside of the insulating terminal housing 2 during the idle process. In this way, even when the DC male head is idle and not in use, it can be waterproof, improving the waterproof effect.

[0032] In the use state, when the extension rod 603 is rotated downward, it can drive the fixed shaft 607 to rotate and further tighten the torsion spring 606. After the extension rod 603 rotates, the cover plate 601 and the sealing gasket 602 at its front end will move accordingly and move away from the front end of the insulating terminal housing 2. Then the entire insulating terminal housing 2 can be inserted into the jack of the electronic device for use.

[0033] To improve the waterproof effect, as Figure 1 、 3 shown, a waterproof ring 3 for sealing is fixedly arranged at the outer end of the insulating terminal housing 2. The waterproof ring 3 is located at the connection between the plastic housing 1 and the insulating terminal housing 2. A finger ring 4 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the plastic housing 1. Inserting the finger into the inside of the finger ring 4 can facilitate the control of the DC male head.

[0034] The terminal includes a conductive terminal housing 9 fixedly arranged at the front end of the plastic housing 1. The front end of the conductive terminal housing 9 is embedded in the inner wall of the insulating terminal housing 2, and a terminal inner ring 10 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the conductive terminal housing 9.

[0035] A terminal copper bar 8 is arranged inside the conductive terminal housing 9. The terminal copper bar 8 is fixedly arranged at the front end of the plastic housing 1. The two wire cores of the wire 7 are respectively connected to the terminal copper bar 8 and the conductive terminal housing 9.

[0036] The insulating terminal housing 2 is arranged at the front end of the plastic housing 1, and a waterproof ring 3 for sealing is arranged at the connection between the two, which can effectively prevent water from entering at the joint of the two, thus improving the waterproof effect. Inside the insulating terminal housing 2, a terminal copper bar 8, a conductive terminal housing 9 and a terminal inner ring 10 are arranged. Among them, the terminal copper bar 8 and the conductive terminal housing 9 are made of copper, and the terminal inner ring 10 is made of phosphor bronze. The two wire cores of the wire 7 are respectively connected to the terminal copper bar 8 and the conductive terminal housing 9, thus playing a role in conducting current so that the DC male head can supply power to electronic devices during use.

[0037] Even if the inside of the insulating terminal housing 2 gets damp, it can be quickly dried. As Figures 1-4 shown, an air vent assembly 5 is provided at the top of the plastic housing 1. The air vent assembly 5 includes a fixing ring 501 fixedly arranged at the top of the plastic housing 1. An elastic rubber bladder 502 is fixedly arranged at the top of the fixing ring 501, and the air flow is controlled by squeezing the rubber bladder 502.

[0038] A suction pipe 503 with a one-way valve is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the fixing ring 501. Air is sucked into the fixing ring 501 through the suction pipe 503. An exhaust pipe 504 with a one-way valve is arranged inside the fixing ring 501. One end of the exhaust pipe 504 extends into the insulating terminal housing 2, and the exhaust pipe 504 can conduct air into the insulating terminal housing 2.

[0039] By pressing the elastic rubber bladder 502, the air inside the rubber bladder 502 can be squeezed, and the air inside it is blown into the insulating terminal housing 2 through the exhaust pipe 504. After releasing the rubber bladder 502, the rubber bladder 502 rebounds under the action of elasticity and sucks the external air into the fixing ring 501 and the rubber bladder 502 through the suction pipe 503. Repeatedly pressing like this can continuously blow air into the insulating terminal housing 2. If the terminal gets damp, the flowing air can be used to dry the wire 7, the terminal copper bar 8 and the conductive terminal housing 9 inside the insulating terminal housing 2, avoiding affecting the use of the DC male head due to the damp terminal.

[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
