[0020] In order to make the content of this application easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. It should be noted that the words "front", "back", "left", "right", "up" and "down" used in the following description refer to the attached drawings. Figure 1 As used herein, the terms "inward" and "outward" refer to directions toward and away from, respectively, the geometric center of the particular component.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a solar charging controller with an interface protection structure includes a solar controller body 1, an interface protection flap 2 and a single protective soft cover 3. A plurality of interfaces are provided on one side of the solar controller body 1 and are arranged in a horizontal manner. A receiving groove 4 is recessed inwardly at the interface position on the solar controller body 1, and all interfaces are located in the receiving groove 4. An interface protection flap 2 is provided in the receiving groove 4, and the interface protection flap 2 can completely cover the receiving groove 4. A rotating shaft 21 is fixed at both ends of the upper side of the interface protection flap 2, and the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably provided in the receiving groove 4, so that the interface protection flap 2 can be flipped in the receiving groove 4. A torsion spring 22 is provided at the rotation connection between the rotating shaft 21 and the receiving groove 4. The interface protection flap 2 is Under the torsional action of the torsion spring 22, it can always have a tendency to cover the accommodating groove 4. The movable side edges of the interface protection flap 2 are all provided with strip sealing sleeves 24, and the material of the strip sealing sleeves 24 is selected from silicone or rubber. The setting of the strip sealing sleeve 24 can make the side edges of the interface protection flap 2 fit tightly with the accommodating groove 4 when the interface protection flap 2 flips over to cover the accommodating groove 4, thereby better protecting the solar controller interface; each interface located in the accommodating groove 4 is recessed inward to form a deep groove 5, and the connectors of the data transmission line 6 connected to the interface can be set in the deep groove 5. The setting of the deep groove 5 can accommodate the connector of the data transmission line 6 so that the single protective soft cover 3 can cover the connector of the data transmission line 6 to protect it.

[0022] A single protective soft cover 3 is installed on the outside of the deep groove 5 at each interface position. Specifically, the four corners of the inner side of the single protective soft cover 3 are fixed with plug posts 31, and the accommodating groove 4 at the four corners of each interface is provided with slots 41. The four plug posts 31 on the single protective soft cover 3 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the four slots 41 on the outside of the corresponding interface. The single protective soft cover 3 can be fixed in the accommodating groove 4 and cover the corresponding interface through the plug-in connection between the plug posts 31 and the slots 41. The single protective soft cover 3 is installed at the interface by means of a plug-in connection of the plug post 31 and the slot 41, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the single protective soft cover 3 when the data transmission line 6 is connected to the interface. In addition, an annular sealing protrusion 34 is fixedly provided on the inner side surface of each single protective soft cover 3, and the shape and size of the outer side wall of the annular sealing protrusion 34 on the single protective soft cover 3 is adapted to the shape and size of the inner side wall of the deep groove 5 at the corresponding interface position. When the single protective soft cover 3 is installed at the deep groove 5 corresponding to the interface, the annular sealing protrusion 34 on it is fixed to the inner side wall of the deep groove 5 at the corresponding interface position. 4 can be inserted into the inner side wall of the deep groove 5 to ensure that the single protective soft cover 3 has a good protective effect on the interface. In addition, a through hole 32 is formed in the center of each single protective soft cover 3, and an open slot 33 is formed on one side of the through hole 32 and extends to the side of the single protective soft cover 3. The width of the open slot 33 is smaller than the aperture size of the through hole 32, thereby minimizing the impact of the open slot 33 on the protective effect of the single protective soft cover 3. The data transmission line 6 connected to the interface can pass through the through hole 32 through the open slot 33. The material of the single protective soft cover 3, the plug post 31 and the annular sealing protrusion 34 are all made of silicone or rubber. This configuration makes the single protective soft cover 3 have good softness and elasticity. When the data transmission line 6 is installed at the interface, it is necessary to stretch the single protective soft cover 3 to deform the open slot 33 and pass the data transmission line 6 through the open slot 33 and set it in the through hole 32. Then, the data transmission line 6 is connected to the interface. Then, the single protective soft cover 3 is installed at the interface by plugging and connecting the plug post 31 and the slot 41 to provide protection.

[0023] A card slot 23 is provided on the lower side of the interface protection flap 2 corresponding to each interface position. When each interface is connected to the data transmission line 6, the interface protection flap 2 can overlap with the data transmission line 6 under the torsion action of the torsion spring 22, and the card slots 23 on the interface protection flap 2 are respectively placed on the corresponding data transmission line 6. This setting enables the interface protection flap 2 to protect the interface of the solar controller body 1 to a certain extent after the interface is connected to the data transmission line 6, and the card slot 23 on the interface protection flap 2 can also enhance the connection stability between the data transmission line 6 and the interface, and prevent the data transmission line 6 from shaking and causing it to fall off from the interface.

[0024] In summary, it can be seen that by providing the interface protection flap 2 at the overall interface of the solar controller body 1 and the single protective soft cover 3 at a single interface, when the interface is not connected to the data transmission line 6, the interface protection flap 2 can cover the entire interface for protection, and when the interface is connected to the data transmission line 6, the single protective soft cover 3 at each interface can protect the single interface, thereby effectively protecting the interface on the solar control body, preventing the interface from being invaded by dust and moisture, and ensuring the long-term normal operation of the solar charging controller; in addition, when the data transmission line 6 is installed at the interface, it is necessary to stretch the single protective soft cover 3 to deform the opening groove 33 and pass the data transmission line 6 through the opening groove 33 and set it in the through hole 32, and then connect the data transmission line 6 to the interface, and then install the single protective soft cover 3 at the interface through the plug-in connection method of the plug post 31 and the slot 41 to protect it.
