These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The sealing connector of this utility model includes: a first connector 1, which has at least three conductive pins 3 extending from the top and bottom surfaces of the first connector 1; a second connector 2, which has conductive terminals 4 on its bottom surface that are adapted to the conductive pins 3; wherein, a positioning groove 21 is provided on the side of the second connector 2, and a limiting block 11 adapted to the positioning groove 21 is provided on the top surface of the first connector 1.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The first connector 1 has three vertically arranged conductive pins 3, each of which penetrates the first connector 1. The two ends of each conductive pin 3 are located on the top and bottom surfaces of the first connector 1, respectively. The second connector 2 is equipped with "O"-shaped conductive terminals 4 corresponding to the number of conductive pins 3. The conductive pins 3 at the top of the first connector 1 can be inserted into the conductive terminals 4 of the second connector 2.

[0024] See Figure 2 The outer periphery of the second connector 2 is vertically provided with a positioning groove 21, and the top surface of the first connector 1 is provided with a limiting block 11 that is adapted to the size of the positioning groove 21. When the conductive pin 3 of the first connector 1 is inserted into the conductive terminal 4 of the second connector 2, the limiting block 11 on the first connector 1 is located in the positioning groove 21 of the second connector 2, so as to further ensure the stability of the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2.

[0025] In one or more embodiments, the bottom surface of the first connector 1 has at least one snap 5 extending from the circumferential side of the first connector 1; the snap 5 is made of rigid plastic or metal spring.

[0026] See Figure 2 The buckle 5 is roughly in the shape of a "√". At least one buckle 5 is configured on the bottom surface of the first connector 1. In this application, there are three buckles 5, which are evenly arranged around the central axis of the first connector 1. The configuration of the buckles 5 can facilitate the first connector 1 to be snapped onto the tubular workpiece, ensuring the stability of the connection of the first connector 1.

[0027] In one or more embodiments, an annular groove 12 is provided around the side of the first connector 1, and a sealing gasket 6 is disposed in the groove.

[0028] See Figure 2An annular groove 12 is formed on the outer periphery of the first connector 1, and a sealing gasket 6 is disposed in the annular groove 12. The outer periphery of the sealing gasket 6 extends out of the outer periphery of the first connector 1, so that when the first connector 1 is installed in the tubular workpiece, it forms a seal on the internal space of the tubular workpiece, improves the use effect of this application, and has practicality.

[0029] In addition, see Figures 3 to 5 The present invention also provides a submersible pump having a sealing joint as described in any of the above embodiments; a pump body 7 having at least an outer shell 71 and a motor 72 disposed within the outer shell 71; wherein the top of the outer shell 71 has a first socket 711 and a second socket 712, and both the first socket 711 and the second socket 712 are provided with sealing joints, and the motor 72 is electrically connected to the float 8 and the power line 9 respectively by means of the two sets of sealing joints.

[0030] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The top surface of the outer casing 71 of the pump body 7 has a tubular first inlet 711 and a second inlet 712. A sealing joint is provided in both the first inlet 711 and the second inlet 712. The sealing joint in the first inlet 711 is used to electrically connect the motor 72 and the float 8, and the sealing joint in the second inlet 712 is used to electrically connect the motor 72 and the power line 9.

[0031] Specifically, for ease of description, the two joints of the sealing connector in the first socket 711 are named the first joint 1a and the second joint 2a, respectively; the two joints of the sealing connector in the second socket 712 are named the first joint 1b and the second joint 2b, respectively; the three conductive pins 3 of the first joint 1a are named conductive pin 3a1, conductive pin 3a2 and conductive pin 3a3, respectively; the three conductive pins 3 of the first joint 1b are named conductive pin 3b1, conductive pin 3b2 and conductive pin 3b3, respectively; and the three wires on the motor 72 are named wire body c1, wire body c2 and wire body c3, respectively, wherein wire body c1 is used to connect to the power supply, wire body c2 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply, and wire body c3 is used for grounding.

[0032] When connecting motor 72 to first connector 1a and first connector 1b, connect wire c1 to conductive pin 3b3 of first connector 1b, connect wire c3 to conductive pin 3b1 of first connector 1b, connect wire c2 to conductive pin 3a2 of first connector 1a, and connect conductive pin 3a3 of first connector 1a to conductive pin 3b2 of second connector 2b.

[0033] When in use, simply connect the power cord 9 to the power supply. When the float 8 fails, remove the second connector 2a inside the first socket 711 of the outer casing 71 and replace the float 8. It features a simple structure, convenient operation, and practicality.

[0034] In one or more embodiments, the second connector 2 is threadedly connected to the first socket 711 or the second socket 712 by means of a clamping nut 10.

[0035] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The outer casing 71 has threads on the upper interior of both the first socket 711 and the upper interior of both the second socket 712. The second connector 2 inside the first socket 711 is locked in the first socket 711 by means of a clamping nut 10, and the second connector 2 inside the second socket 712 is locked in the second socket 712 by means of a clamping nut 10. When the float 8 fails, the clamping nut 10 inside the first socket 711 is unlocked to separate the second connector 2 from the first connector 1, thus allowing the float 8 to be removed for easy replacement.

[0036] In one or more embodiments, a stepped layer 713 is formed at the bottom of the first socket 711 and the second socket 712 of the outer casing 71, and two first connectors 1 are respectively disposed on the stepped layer 713 of the first socket 711 and the second socket 712.

[0037] See Figure 4 When the two first connectors 1 are placed in the first socket 711 and the second socket 712 respectively, the first connector 1 can be restrained on the stepped layer 713 and will not fall downward. It is also secured to the outer casing 71 by the buckle 5 at the bottom of the first connector 1, thereby fixing the position of the first connector 1 and improving the stability of the connection of the first connector 1. In addition, by configuring a sealing gasket 6 around the outer periphery of the first connector 1, the first socket 711 or the second socket 712 can be sealed when the first connector 1 is fixed in the first socket 711 or the second socket 712. When the second connector 2 is removed, the first socket 711 or the second socket 712 can still be sealed, preventing external moisture from entering the outer casing 71 and damaging the motor 72.

[0038] In one or more embodiments, a retaining member 13 is disposed on the outer casing 71, and the float 8 is detachably disposed on the retaining member 13.

[0039] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The retaining member 13 is a plate, which is bolted to the outer casing 71. The float 8 is bolted to the retaining member 13. This arrangement allows for a relatively fixed position of the float 8 while enabling a detachable connection between the float 8 and the outer casing 71 of the pump body 7.
