[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a cable connector protection mechanism, including a housing 1. The rear side of the housing 1 is connected to a cover 2 via a hinge. The hinge connection allows the cover 2 to rotate flexibly relative to the housing 1, facilitating opening and closing and enabling operation, inspection, or maintenance of internal cables and other components. The housing 1 and cover 2 are connected by multiple latches 6, which serve a fixing function, securely fastening the cover 2 to the housing 1. This ensures the entire device remains closed during normal use, preventing external factors from interfering with the internal structure and preventing internal cables from being exposed. In case of exposure, the housing 1 is provided with sealing rings 16 along the wall. The sealing rings 16 are engaged with the grooves of the housing cover 2 to form a good sealing effect, effectively preventing rainwater, dust and other external impurities from entering the housing, protecting the internal cables and components, and avoiding problems such as cable short circuits or component damage caused by water or dust ingress. Bolts 4 are provided at both corners of the mounting block 3. The bolts 4 are used to firmly fix the mounting block 3 to the corresponding installation position, such as a wall, to provide a stable support foundation for the entire device and ensure the stability of the overall structure after the subsequent installation of each component.

[0027] A locking assembly is provided on the rear side of the housing 1. The locking assembly includes a mounting block 3. A T-slot 10 is provided on the upper side of the mounting block 3. A T-block 11 is provided on the rear side of the housing 1. The T-block 11 engages with the T-slot 10. This structure of the T-block 11 engaging with the T-slot 10 further enhances the stability of the connection between the housing 1 and the mounting block 3 and the accuracy of the positioning. It makes it less likely for the housing 1 to shift horizontally after installation, ensuring that it is in the correct installation position and guaranteeing the stability of the entire device during operation.

[0028] The housing 1 is equipped with two sets of latching mechanisms 5. Each latching mechanism 5 includes a square box 501, which is located at one of the two inner corners of the housing 1. A slider 505 slides inside each square box 501. A spring 502 is provided between each slider 505 and the inner wall of the square box 501. A sliding plate 503 is provided on the top of each slider 505. A locking rod 504 is provided on the rear side of each slider 505. The locking rod 504 passes through the T-shaped block 11 and engages with the circular groove of the mounting block 3. The latching mechanism 5 utilizes the elasticity of the spring 502 to allow the slider 505 to slide inside the square box 501, thereby driving the locking rod 504 to engage or disengage with the circular groove of the mounting block 3. During installation, it can automatically lock, enhancing the reliability of the connection between the housing 1 and the mounting block 3. When disassembly is required, it can be easily disengaged, facilitating the installation and disassembly process of the entire device.

[0029] Reference Figures 3-4Multiple cable management assemblies are provided on both sides of the housing 1. The cable management assembly includes a threaded cylinder 15. Multiple threaded cylinders 15 are equally spaced on the outside of the housing 1. A knob sleeve 7 is threadedly connected to the outside of each threaded cylinder 15. A cylinder 8 is rotatably connected to the outside of each knob sleeve 7. The threaded connection between the threaded cylinder 15 and the knob sleeve 7 in the cable management assembly facilitates the installation and removal of the knob sleeve 7. The rotatably connected cylinder 8 can cooperate with the knob sleeve 7 to organize and guide the passing cables in an orderly manner, so that the cables can be neatly arranged, avoiding the cables being messy and facilitating management and subsequent troubleshooting operations.

[0030] The housing 1 is equipped with a wire clamping assembly, which includes a U-shaped clamp 12. The U-shaped clamp 12 is located on the inner bottom wall of the housing 1, and an arc-shaped clamp 13 is located on the upper side of the U-shaped clamp 12. The wire clamping assembly can clamp the cable in the middle through the cooperation of the U-shaped clamp 12 and the arc-shaped clamp 13, which can fix the cable and prevent the cable from shaking or shifting inside the device. This ensures that the cable connector remains stable and reduces problems such as poor contact caused by cable shaking.

[0031] Furthermore, multiple knob components are provided on the upper side of both the cable management component and the cable clamping component. Each knob component includes a second bolt 9, which is respectively located at the four corners of the U-shaped clamp 12 and on the upper side of the cylinder 8. A second spring 14 is provided between the second bolt 9 and the four corners of the U-shaped clamp 12 and the upper side of the cylinder 8. With the help of the elasticity of the second spring 14, the second bolt 9 in the knob component can achieve better clamping or loosening of the cable when tightening or loosening. By adjusting the second bolt 9, the degree of fixation of the cable can be flexibly controlled, further ensuring the stability of the cable in the device and facilitating the installation and removal of the cable according to the actual situation.

[0032] Working Principle: First, we need to fix the mounting block 1. Select a suitable wall location and use bolt 4 to firmly fix the mounting block 1 to it, ensuring that it is firmly installed and will not loosen, as the mounting block 1 plays a crucial role in basic support. Next, align the housing 1 with the T-shaped block 11 with the mounting block 1 and slowly engage it into the T-slot 10 of the mounting block 1. During this engagement process, the latching mechanism 5 will function. The latching mechanism 5 includes a square box, spring 502, slide plate 503, latching rod 504, and slider 505. The latching rod 504 will precisely engage with the round hole of the mounting block 1, forming a stable connection and ensuring that the housing 1 is firmly fixed to the mounting block 1, preventing accidental movement. After external displacement, the cable section is then processed. Both ends of the cable are passed through the knob sleeve 7 with cylinder 8. After the two ends of the cable are connected according to the requirements, further fixation is performed. First, bolt 29 is opened, the arc-shaped clamp 13 is removed, and the connected cable ends are placed inside. Then, bolt 29 is tightened. As the bolt is tightened, the connection ends of the two cables are firmly pressed together. This effectively prevents problems such as poor contact due to loose connections during subsequent use. Afterwards, bolt 29 outside cylinder 8 is tightened again. This operation further secures the cable. In actual use, the cable may be subjected to external pulling forces. If it is not securely fixed, the cable ends can easily be pulled apart during this process, leading to… A circuit fault affects the normal operation of the entire system. Furthermore, considering the possibility of component damage, there's no need to worry if the knob sleeve 7 with the cylinder 8 is damaged due to prolonged use or other unexpected factors. We can easily remove the damaged knob sleeve 7 from the threaded cylinder 15 by rotating it, utilizing the threaded connection between it and the threaded cylinder 15. Then, a new knob sleeve 7 can be installed. The operation is simple and convenient, ensuring the normal operation of the entire device. After completing the above cable fixing operations, the cover 2 can be closed. After closing the cover 2, the snap 6 is used to connect the cover 2 to the housing 1. During this connection process, the sealing ring 16 on the housing 1 will tightly engage with the cover 2, forming a... A good sealing structure can effectively prevent rainwater from entering the interior, avoiding short circuits and other malfunctions caused by rainwater intrusion, and ensuring that the entire device can operate safely and reliably in outdoor environments. When it is necessary to disassemble the entire device later, first open the latch 6, open the cover 2, and then move the slide plate 503. The movement of the slide plate 503 will cause the slider 505 with the locking rod 504 to disengage from the T-slot 10, releasing the key connection between the housing 1 and the mounting block 1. Then the housing 1 can be pulled off. Finally, unscrew the bolt 4 that previously fixed the mounting block 1 and remove the mounting block 1. After these parts are disassembled, they can be reinstalled and reused in the next use by following the above steps, which is both environmentally friendly and saves resources.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
