[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: an energy storage connector that can prevent accidental touch and error insertion, including a connector body 1 and a connecting seat 15, a connecting groove 16 is opened on the left side of the connector body 1, and a socket terminal 2 is connected inside the connecting groove 16, a bearing 3 is connected to the rear side of the connecting groove 16, and a connecting cylinder 4 is installed on the right end of the bearing 3, a first gear 5 is installed on the surface of the connecting cylinder 4, and a second gear 6 is meshed above the first gear 5, a fixing rod 7 passes through the inside of the second gear 6, and a spring 10 is installed on the outer periphery of the fixing rod 7 on the right side, a fixing block 9 is installed on the top of the connector body 1, a top cover 8 is provided above the fixing block 9, and a rubber layer 11 is provided on the inner side of the top cover 8, an external tooth joint 12 is connected to the right side of the connector body 1, an anti-error buckle 13 is provided at the right end of the connector body 1, a connecting seat 15 is provided on the right side of the connector body 1, and an internal tooth sleeve 14 is movably connected to the left side of the connecting seat 15, and an internal connecting buckle 17 is provided inside the left side of the connecting seat 15.

[0024] The second gear 6 has notches evenly distributed inside it that correspond to the fixing rod 7. By pulling the fixing rod 7, it is pulled out of the notch of the second gear 6, thereby releasing the fixation of the second gear 6. Then, by toggling the second gear 6 to drive the first gear 5, the first gear 5 drives the connecting cylinder 4, and then drives the connecting groove 16 set on the left side of the bearing 3, so that the connecting groove 16 is adjusted to change different angles, thereby facilitating the multi-directional connection of the socket terminal 2.

[0025] A rotating shaft is provided at the right end of the top cover 8, and the top cover 8 forms a rotating structure with the top of the connector body 1 through the rotating shaft. The area length of the top cover 8 is greater than the length of the fixing rod 7. The top cover 8 rotates through the rotating shaft so that it completely covers the structure connected to the fixing rod 7, thereby reducing the entry of dust and rainwater, and reducing the damage of dust and rainwater to internal parts.

[0026] The surface of the external joint 12 is provided with threads, and the connector body 1 is threadedly connected to the internal sleeve 14 through the external joint 12. By rotating the internal sleeve 14 to connect with the external joint 12, dust and rainwater are prevented from entering the interface, thereby reducing damage to the internal circuit. The threaded connection structure avoids bolt connection, making it more convenient to plug in.

[0027] The connecting base 15 is configured to be composed of two parts, an upper part and an lower part, and the same end of the upper and lower parts of the connecting base 15 is connected by bolts. When the internal circuit is damaged and needs to be replaced, the bolts are removed to release the fixation of the upper and lower parts, and then the upper part of the connecting base 15 is removed to expose the internal circuit, thereby facilitating replacement.

[0028] The outer diameter of the anti-error buckle 13 matches the inner diameter of the inner connecting buckle 17. The anti-error buckle 13 is inserted into the inner connecting buckle 17 in a staggered manner and then fixed by rotation, thereby basically fixing the connector body 1 and the connecting seat 15.

[0029] Working principle: When using the energy storage connector that can prevent accidental touch and insertion, first, the top cover 8 is rotated by the rotating shaft to expose the second gear 6. Then, by pulling the fixing rod 7, the fixing rod 7 slides inside the fixing block 9 and is pulled out of the notch of the second gear 6, thereby releasing the fixation of the second gear 6. Then, by toggling the second gear 6, the first gear 5 is driven, and the first gear 5 drives the connecting cylinder 4, and then drives the connecting groove 16 set on the left side of the bearing 3, so that the connecting groove 16 is adjusted to change different angles, thereby facilitating the multi-directional connection of the socket terminal 2.

[0030] Next, after the second gear 6 is moved to the desired position, the fixing rod 7 is released, and the fixing rod 7 is reset and snapped into the slot by the spring 10 to fix it. Then, the top cover 8 is rotated by the shaft to completely cover the fixing rod 7 and the second gear 6, thereby reducing the ingress of dust and rainwater and reducing the damage to the internal parts. In addition, a rubber layer 11 is provided inside the top cover 8 to prevent the parts from directly wearing the top cover 8 when they are damaged, thereby increasing the service life of the top cover 8 to a certain extent.

[0031] Afterwards, the anti-error buckle 13 is inserted into the inner connecting buckle 17 in a staggered manner, and then fixed by rotation, so as to basically fix the connector body 1 and the connecting seat 15. Then, the connector body 1 is threadedly connected to the inner sleeve 14 through the outer thread joint 12, thereby covering the joint between the anti-error buckle 13 and the inner connecting buckle 17 to prevent the ingress of dust and rainwater, thereby reducing damage to the internal circuit. The threaded connection structure avoids bolt connection, making it more convenient to plug in.

[0032] Finally, the connecting base 15 is provided with an upper and lower part. When the internal circuit is damaged and needs to be replaced, the upper and lower parts are released by removing the bolts, and then the internal circuit is exposed to the outside by removing the upper connecting base 15, so that it can be replaced, thereby reducing the replacement time. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the existing technology known to professional and technical personnel in this field.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
