[0002] In various electronic devices, connector ends play a vital role because they are key components for achieving circuit connections. Connector ends not only ensure stable connections between various components inside electronic devices, but also ensure smooth transmission of signals and currents. Their design and quality directly affect the performance and reliability of electronic devices.

[0003] Traditional protective covers fail to adequately protect connectors. Even when they do provide some protection, the connector and interface remain exposed after installation, reducing their effectiveness. Furthermore, the connector can easily fall off during connection, resulting in unstable connections. Furthermore, protective covers cannot quickly and effectively clamp onto cables of varying sizes.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a protective cover for a connector end to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

[0013] The above technical solution makes it easy to rotate the first-stage gear, making the operation convenient.

[0014] Furthermore, one side of the clamping rod is fixedly connected to a connecting column, and one side of the clamping rod is fixedly connected to a clamping claw;

[0015] The above technical solution has a better clamping effect on the wire.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting column is slidably connected in the limiting groove, and a baffle is provided on the side of the connecting column away from the clamping rod;

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the clamping rod and the baffle can operate simultaneously.

[0018] Furthermore, a protective cover is connected to the interior of the protective sleeve via a ball clamp;

[0024] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The utility model proposes a protective cover for the connector end. By rotating the operating lever, the connected first-stage gear and second-stage gear can be driven, thereby enabling the clamping claws, clamping rods and baffles to operate synchronously. This design allows users to easily and accurately adjust the aperture of the equipment according to different wire specifications.

[0026] 2. The utility model proposes a protective cover for the connector end, which can effectively realize the loosening and locking functions of the ball through the precise cooperation of the spring and the sliding sleeve.

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specific embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the specific embodiments described are only part of the specific embodiments of the present invention, not all of the specific embodiments. Based on the specific embodiments of the present invention, all other specific embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , a specific implementation method provided by the utility model:

[0038] A protective cover for a connector end includes a protective sleeve 1, a retaining ring 2 is threadedly connected to the front end of the protective sleeve 1, a quick release mechanism 3 is provided on the protective sleeve 1, a clamping mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the protective sleeve 1, and the clamping mechanism 5 includes a shell 501, a connecting sleeve 504 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the protective sleeve 1, a limiting ring 508 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting sleeve 504, a clamping rod 507 is slidably connected to the limiting ring 508, a secondary gear 511 is slidably connected to the inside of the shell 501, and the secondary gear 511 is meshed with a primary gear 510 to facilitate adjustment of the aperture size to adapt to the size of the wire. It is connected to a rotating rod 502, and a rocker 503 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod 502 to facilitate the rotation of the first-stage gear 510, making the operation convenient. A connecting column 505 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping rod 507, and a clamping claw 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping rod 507, which has a better clamping effect on the wire. The connecting column 505 is slidably connected in the limit groove 512, and a baffle 509 is provided on the side of the connecting column 505 away from the clamping rod 507, so that the clamping rod 507 and the baffle 509 can operate at the same time. The clamping rod 507, the clamping claw 506 and the baffle 509 are all made of flexible materials to ensure that the wire will not be damaged during the clamping process.

[0039] Reference Figure 2-4 The quick-release mechanism 3 includes a sliding sleeve 301, which is slidably connected to the front end of the protective sleeve 1. A ball bearing 303 is provided inside the front end of the protective sleeve 1. A spring 302 is provided on the outer wall of the front end of the protective sleeve 1. The protective cover 304 can be quickly disassembled and assembled to effectively protect the connector end. The protective cover 304 is clamped with the ball bearing 303 inside the protective sleeve 1, so that the protective cover 304 can be firmly clamped in the protective sleeve 1. A sealing ring 4 is provided on the protective cover 304 to prevent gaps from remaining after the protective cover 304 and the protective sleeve 1 are clamped.

[0040] Working principle: By sliding the sleeve 301, the ball bearing 303 is loosened. At this time, the protective cover 304 is placed in the protective cover 1, and then the sleeve 301 is loosened. With the help of the force of the spring 302, the sleeve 301 will automatically return to the initial position, and the ball bearing 303 will be locked, thereby fixing the protective cover 304. Similarly, when removing the protective cover 304, just repeat the above steps. When it is necessary to replace the components of the quick release mechanism 3, you can remove the retaining ring 2 by rotating the retaining ring 2. To replace the components, by rotating the rocker 503, the first-stage gear 510 rotates to drive the second-stage gear 511 to rotate, and then the clamping claw 506, the clamping rod 507 and the baffle 509 rotate together, wherein the clamping rod 507 slides in the limiting ring 508, and the baffle 509 and the clamping rod 507 are connected by the connecting column 505, and the connecting column 505 slides in the limiting groove 512. According to the specifications of the wire to be protected, the aperture size of the clamping claw 506, the clamping rod 507 and the baffle 509 is adjusted.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
