Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric connectors, and in particular to a protective structure of an electric connector. Background Art

[0002] An electrical connector is a device that allows current to pass through circuit elements. It provides a way to insert, remove, or connect electrical lines in a circuit without the need for tools for soldering or winding. Electrical connectors are widely used in various electronic devices, electrical equipment, and mechanical devices. They act as a bridge in the circuit, making circuit connections quick, convenient, and reusable.

[0003] Patent number CN217720084U discloses an electrical connector with a protective structure. The technical solution includes an electrical connector body, which includes an external housing and connection terminals connected to the housing. The housing has an annular sealing groove on its end face, and a sealing cover is rotatably connected to one side of the housing. The end face of the sealing cover is provided with an outwardly protruding sealing ring that mates with the sealing groove. The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by providing a rotatably connected sealing cover, the sealing cover is always located on one side of the housing, preventing it from being lost; and the sealing cover also seals the connection terminals, providing waterproofing and protection against external corrosion.

[0004] The sealing cover of the prior art rotary connection needs to be flipped outward when opened, which takes up a considerable space. However, the connection ends of some electrical connectors are too small or need to connect multiple electrical connectors, which makes it impossible for the sealing cover to be flipped outward, thereby affecting the normal use of the electrical connector. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and in the abstract and title of the utility model to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title of the utility model, and such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0006] In view of the above problems existing in the existing electrical connector protection structure, the present utility model is proposed.

[0007] Therefore, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide an electrical connector protection structure, which is designed to solve the problem that "the sealing cover of the existing rotary connection flips outward when opened, which requires a considerable space, but the connection ends of some connected electrical connectors are small in size or need to connect multiple electrical connectors, resulting in the sealing cover being unable to flip outward, thereby affecting the normal use of the electrical connector."

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an electrical connector protection structure, comprising:

[0030] The main unit 100 includes a housing 101. A connection terminal 102 is disposed inside the housing 101. A connection line 103 is disposed on one side of the connection terminal 102. The connection line 103 is electrically connected to the connection terminal 102. Two sets of storage slots 104 are provided on the side of the housing 101 facing away from the connection line 103.

[0031] The protective unit 200 includes a square ring 201 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the shell 101, and two groups of pull plates 202 are slidably connected inside the square ring 201, and one end of the pull plate 202 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 203, one side surface of the two groups of pull plates 202 is slidably connected to the surface of the shell 101, the inner wall surfaces of the two groups of storage grooves 104 are slidably connected to the telescopic plates 204, and the side surfaces of the telescopic plates 204 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 203, and the ends of the two groups of telescopic plates 204 facing away from the connecting line 103 are rotatably connected to the flap 205, a limiting groove 206 is provided on one side of one group of the flaps 205, and a positioning assembly 207 is provided inside the limiting groove 206, and the height dimensions of the two groups of flaps 205 are both half of the height dimension of the connecting end 102, so that the two groups of flaps 205 can cover the socket of the connecting end 102.

[0032] Among them, the positioning assembly 207 includes a positioning piece 207a that is slidably connected to a group of flip plates 205, and one side of the positioning piece 207a is fixedly connected to a limiting rod 207b, the surface of the limiting rod 207b is slidably connected to the limiting groove 206, and a positioning groove 207c that matches the positioning piece 207a is provided on the surface of one side of the other flip plate 205. Moving the limiting rod 207b can drive the positioning piece 207a to slide up and down, so that the positioning piece 207a can flexibly enter and exit from the inside of the positioning groove 207c.

[0033] Furthermore, the inner wall surface of the positioning groove 207c is fixedly connected with multiple sets of soft films 207d, and the soft films 207d are made of rubber material. The surfaces of the two sets of pull plates 202 are fixedly connected with multiple friction plates 208, and the friction plates 208 are all made of rubber material to increase friction.

[0034] Furthermore, both sets of flip plates 205 are made of magnetic material, and the ends of the two sets of flip plates 205 that are close to each other are both set with positive and negative poles. The square ring 201 is made of metal material, so that when the two sets of flip plates 205 are flipped towards each other, they can attract and connect with each other. When the two sets of flip plates 205 are flipped in the opposite direction, they can attract and connect with the square ring 201, thereby preventing the two sets of flip plates 205 from swinging at will.

[0035] Furthermore, the two sets of telescopic plates 204 are fixedly connected to a soft pad 209 on one side close to the connection end 102, and the soft pad 209 is made of sponge material to improve the sealing performance.

[0036] Furthermore, one end of the two sets of pull plates 202 facing away from the connecting plate 203 is fixedly connected to a vertical plate 210, and one side of the vertical plate 210 is movably connected to the surface of the square ring 201, limiting the sliding distance of the pull plates 202 and preventing the pull plates 202 from sliding out from the inside of the square ring 201.

[0037] During use, when using the electrical connector, the limit rod 207b is pushed to drive the positioning piece 207a to slide upward, so that the positioning piece 207a slides out from the inside of the positioning groove 207c, and then the pull plate 202 is dragged to slide inside the square ring 201. The connecting plate 203 fixedly connected to the pull plate 202 drives the telescopic plate 204 to slide, so that the telescopic plate 204 slides into the inside of the storage groove 104. At the same time, the flap 205 rotatably connected to the telescopic plate 204 is disconnected from the surface of the connecting end 102 and flipped in the opposite direction, so that the two sets of flaps 205 are magnetically fixed to the square ring 201, so that the connecting end 102 can be used normally.

[0038] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
