Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic connector technology, specifically a dustproof electronic connector. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electronic connectors lack dustproof capabilities, making them susceptible to contaminants such as dust and particles in the environment. This contamination of internal contacts leads to poor contact, signal attenuation, or interruption, significantly reducing the reliability and stability of the equipment. This not only affects the normal operation of the equipment but may also cause data transmission errors or delays, negatively impacting systems or applications that rely on these devices. Secondly, the lack of dustproof functionality increases maintenance costs. Due to dust accumulation, connectors require more frequent cleaning, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but may also exacerbate the risk of failure due to improper maintenance. Furthermore, connectors exposed to dusty environments for extended periods are more prone to aging and damage, shortening their lifespan and forcing companies to replace them prematurely, further increasing costs. Moreover, insufficient dustproofing can also adversely affect equipment performance. Dust accumulation may hinder heat dissipation, leading to increased temperatures and affecting operating efficiency and stability. This performance degradation is particularly pronounced in high-performance applications, potentially failing to meet application requirements. Utility Model Content

[0020] Reference Figures 2 to 3 The external thread 5 of the plug is adapted to the internal thread 9 of the plug, and the external thread 6 of the socket is adapted to the internal thread 10 of the socket. The external thread 5 of the plug on the outside of the plug 2 is adapted to the internal thread 9 of the plug on the inside of the plug connector 7. A tight connection is achieved by rotation. Similarly, the external thread 6 of the socket on the outside of the socket 1 is adapted to the internal thread 10 of the socket on the inside of the socket connector 8. A stable connection of the socket part is ensured by rotation.

[0021] Reference Figures 2 to 5 The first magnet 11 is adapted to the first magnetic groove 12 and the second magnetic groove 16. The first magnetic groove 12 is adapted to the first magnet 11 and the second magnet 19. The number of the first magnet 11, the first magnetic groove 12, the second magnetic groove 16 and the second magnet 19 are all arranged in four sets, which are respectively arranged around the four ends of the plug connector 7, the socket connector 8, the plug cover 15 and the socket cover 18.

Similarly, the female plug protection pin 20 protects the female plug 4 to prevent dust from entering.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the external thread 5 of the plug 2 on the outside is adapted to the internal thread 9 of the plug on the inside of the plug connector 7, and a tight connection is achieved by rotation. Similarly, the external thread 6 of the socket 1 on the outside is adapted to the internal thread 10 of the socket on the inside of the socket connector 8, and a stable connection of the socket part is ensured by rotation. The first magnet block 11 below the plug connector 7 and the first magnetic groove 12 above the socket connector 8 attract each other to form a preliminary magnetic connection. A sealing gasket 13 is provided between the plug connector 7 and the socket connector 8, and the clearance hole 14 opened on it is adapted to the size of the first magnet block 11 to ensure that the magnet block is not obstructed during the adsorption process. The main function of the sealing gasket 13 is to fill the tiny gaps between the connectors, preventing dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the connector, ensuring the purity and stability of the electrical connection. The male pin 3 below the plug is compatible with the female pin 4 above the socket. Through the insertion of the plug, the male pin 3 smoothly enters the female pin 4, establishing an electrical connection. In the non-connected state, the plug connector 7 is covered by the plug cover 15. The plug cover 15 has a second magnetic groove 16 on top and a male pin protection hole 17 inside, which physically shields the male pin 3 to prevent dust and other impurities from directly contacting the male pin. Similarly, the socket connector 8 is protected by the socket cover 18. A second magnet 19 is fixedly attached to the bottom of the socket cover 18, forming a magnetic attraction with the first magnetic groove 12 to ensure sealing. The female plug protection pin 20 fixed inside the socket cover 18 protects the female plug 4 from dust. The plug cover 15 and the plug connector 7, as well as the socket cover 18 and the socket connector 8, are tightly fitted by the mutual attraction of the first magnet block 11 and the second magnet block 19 with the first magnetic groove 12 and the second magnetic groove 16, which further enhances the dustproof effect. Removing the plug cover 15 and the socket cover 18 exposes the plug connector 7 and the socket connector 8, as well as the male pin 3 and the female plug 4 inside.
