[0002] USB, also known as Universal Serial Bus, is an emerging data communication method that is gradually replacing other interface standards. As a high-speed serial bus, the USB bus has an extremely high transmission speed that can meet the application environment requirements of high-speed data transmission. The bus also has the advantages of simple power supply, convenient installation and configuration, simple expansion ports, diversified transmission methods, and good compatibility. When using USB connectors, it is necessary to propose a protective structure for USB connectors.

[0003] When a traditional USB connector is not in use, the connector interface is generally directly exposed to the external environment. However, the current connector does not have a structure to protect the interface. This will cause dust and other impurities in the external environment to enter the interior of the interface. Long-term accumulation of dust will cause damage to the connector interface, thereby affecting the normal use of the connector. Moreover, if the interface is not protected, when liquid in the external environment accidentally enters the interior of the interface, it will not only affect the normal use of the connector, but may also cause leakage in the connector, posing certain safety hazards.

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

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying 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. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a protection structure for a USB connector, including a connector body 1, and further including:

[0026] A protective cover 2, located on one side of the connector body 1;

[0027] A resilient component, arranged on the upper surface of the connector body 1 and used for performing a resilient treatment on the protective cover 2, so that the user can conveniently open the protective cover 2, and further facilitate the user to use the connector body 1;

[0028] An L-shaped plate 8, fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover 2, and an external part of the L-shaped plate 8 is fixedly connected with a mounting plate 9;

[0029] A fixed frame 11, fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector body 1, and a guide groove for the mounting plate 9 to move is formed inside the fixed frame 11;

[0030] The fixing component is arranged inside the mounting plate 9 and is used to fix the mounting plate 9 and the fixing frame 11, so as to effectively close the protective cover 2, and then the protective cover 2 can effectively protect the interface of the connector body 1.

[0031] The above working principle: When the connector body 1 is not needed, just toggle the protective cover 2. At this time, the protective cover 2 will stretch the spring return component synchronously. The protective cover 2 will also drive the L-shaped plate 8 and the mounting plate 9 to move synchronously. When the mounting plate 9 is inserted into the guide groove inside the fixing frame 11, then fix the mounting plate 9 and the fixing frame 11 through the fixing component. At this time, the protective cover 2 can be sleeved outside the interface of the connector body 1, so as to effectively protect the interface of the connector body 1 through the protective cover 2. When the connector body 1 is needed, just first separate the mounting plate 9 and the fixing frame 1 through the fixing component. After the mounting plate 9 and the fixing frame 11 are separated, the spring return component resets. At this time, the spring return component will drive the protective cover 2 to move synchronously for reset. When the protective cover 2 is completely opened, it is convenient for the user to use the connector body 1, saving time and effort.

[0032] In order to enable the protective cover to perform automatic reset processing, the spring return component includes a U-shaped frame 3 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connector body 1. A fixing rod 12 is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped frame 3. A volute spring 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing rod 12. The other end of the volute spring 13 is fixedly connected to a rotating sleeve 4. A connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating sleeve 4. The bottom of the connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective cover 2. When the connector body 1 is not needed, just first toggle the protective cover 2. At this time, the protective cover 2 will drive the connecting plate 5 to move synchronously. The connecting plate 5 will then drive the rotating sleeve 4 to rotate synchronously. The rotating sleeve 4 will then stretch the volute spring 13 synchronously. When the protective cover 2 drives the mounting plate 9 to be inserted into the guide groove inside the fixing frame 11, then fix the mounting plate 9 and the fixing frame 11 through the fixing component. At this time, the protective cover 2 can be sleeved outside the interface of the connector body 1, so that the protective cover can effectively protect the interface of the connector body 1. When the connector body 1 is needed, just first separate the mounting plate 9 and the fixing frame 11 through the fixing component. When the mounting plate 9 disengages from the guide groove inside the fixing frame 11, the volute spring 13 resets, driving the rotating sleeve 4 to rotate synchronously. The rotating sleeve 4 will then drive the connecting plate 5 to move synchronously. The connecting plate 5 will then drive the protective cover 2 to move synchronously. At this time, the protective cover 2 can be opened, so as to facilitate the user to use the connector body 1.

[0033] Taking into account that when the connector body 1 is not needed, the protective cover 2 needs to be fixed so that the protective cover 2 can effectively protect the interface of the connector body 1, the fixing assembly includes a fixing plate 14 fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate 9, and the outer wall of the fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rods 15 on both sides, and the telescopic ends of the two telescopic rods 15 are fixedly connected to the plug rods 16. The outsides of the two telescopic rods 15 are sleeved with return springs 17, and the two return springs 17 are in contact between the plug rods 16 and the fixing plate 14. Guide grooves for the plug rods 16 to move are provided on both sides of the outer walls of the mounting plate 9 and the fixing frame 11. When the connector body 1 is not needed, it is only necessary to press the plug rods 16 first. At this time, the plug rods 16 will retract the telescopic rods. The rod 15 and the return spring 17 are squeezed synchronously, and then the protective cover 2 is moved. The protective cover 2 will drive the L-shaped plate 8 and the mounting plate 9 to move synchronously. When the protective cover 2 is fully closed, the mounting plate 9 will also be synchronously plugged into the guide groove inside the fixed frame 11, and the mounting plate 9 will drive the plug-in rod 16 to move synchronously. When the mounting plate 9 drives the plug-in rod 16 to move into the guide grooves on both sides of the outer wall of the fixed frame 11, the return spring 17 is reset, driving the plug-in rod 16 to reset and move synchronously. When the plug-in rod 16 is plugged into the guide grooves on both sides of the outer wall of the fixed frame 11, the mounting plate 9 can be fixed to the fixed frame 11. At this time, the protective cover 2 can be fixed, so that the protective cover 2 can effectively protect the interface of the connector body 1.

[0034] In order to ensure that the protective cover 2 can be effectively fixed to the connector body 1 after it is opened, the upper surface of the connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the plug-in plate 6, and the upper surface of the connector body 1 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 7. The upper surface of the clamping plate 7 is provided with a clamping groove for clamping the plug-in plate 6. When the protective cover 2 is fully opened, the protective cover 2 will drive the plug-in plate 6 to be synchronously plugged into the clamping groove on the upper surface of the clamping plate 7. At this time, the protective cover 2 and the connector body 1 can be fixed by the cooperation between the plug-in plate 6 and the clamping plate 7.

[0035] In order to effectively improve the waterproof and dustproof effect of the protective cover 2 on the connector body 1, a sealing ring 10 is bonded to the outside of the protective cover 2. When the protective cover 2 is fully closed, the sealing ring 10 will interfere with the connector body 1. At this time, the sealing ring 10 can effectively improve the waterproof and dustproof effect of the protective cover 2 on the connector body 1, thereby further improving the protective effect of the protective cover 2 and effectively extending the service life of the connector body 1.

[0036] In addition, in order to effectively improve the service life of the protective cover 2, the material of the protective cover 2 is rubber, which has good elasticity and wear resistance. Since the material of the protective cover 2 is rubber, the protective cover 2 also has good elasticity and wear resistance, thereby effectively improving the service life of the protective cover 2.

[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention.
