The cable body is responsible for transmitting electrical energy or signals, and its structure typically includes conductors, insulation layers, shielding layers, and sheaths. The waterproof connector is a device specifically designed to prevent moisture from entering the cable connection points, ensuring that the electrical performance and safety of the cable are not affected in humid environments or when it comes into contact with water.

[0003] When cables are laid in complex industrial environments or outdoor construction sites, they may be subject to accidents such as falling tools or being run over by vehicles. The waterproof joints may be squeezed or impacted, which may cause damage to their structure or affect their sealing performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cable with a waterproof connector, which solves the above-mentioned problems when used with this device.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cable with a waterproof connector, comprising a cable body, a waterproof connector body at one end of the cable body, a first protective shell at the top of the waterproof connector body, and a second protective shell at the bottom of the waterproof connector body.

[0006] Preferably, the first protective shell has first side blocks fixed on both sides, the bottom of the first side block has a slot, one side of the first side block has an internal groove, the internal groove has a top pin, and one side of the first side block has a pressing plate, which is fixedly connected to the top pin.

[0007] Preferably, the size of the built-in groove matches the size of the top pin, allowing the top pin to slide within the built-in groove.

[0008] Preferably, the second protective shell has second side blocks fixed on both sides, and the top of the second side blocks has a buckle fixed in place, which is engaged in the slot.

[0009] Preferably, the number of buckles is the same as the number of slots, and the buckles are fixed at equal intervals to the top of the second side block.

[0010] Preferably, the top and bottom of the waterproof connector body are fixed with connecting blocks, and the top of the first protective shell and the bottom of the second protective shell are fixed with limiting blocks. The limiting blocks have connecting grooves inside, and the connecting blocks can be inserted into the connecting grooves.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model provides a cable with a waterproof connector. The first protective shell and the second protective shell are combined to form a protective shell, which can effectively protect the main body of the waterproof connector. When the waterproof connector is subjected to external collision or compression, the protective shell can withstand the impact force, reducing the risk of direct damage to the main body of the waterproof connector, thereby protecting its sealing and waterproof performance. When the cable is laid in a relatively complex industrial environment or outdoor construction site, it may be subject to accidents such as tools falling or vehicles running over it. The protective shell can greatly reduce the probability of damage to the waterproof connector.

[0013] 2. The present invention provides a cable with a waterproof connector. The protective shell is not sealed at both ends, allowing air to enter and exit freely. This facilitates the timely dissipation of heat generated by the waterproof connector body during operation. Hot air can rise naturally and be discharged from the top of the protective shell, while cold air enters from the bottom, forming a good natural convection heat dissipation channel, just like a natural ventilation channel, effectively reducing the risk of the waterproof connector being damaged due to overheating.

[0020] 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.

[0021] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Combination Figures 1-5 This utility model discloses a cable with a waterproof connector, comprising a cable body 1, a waterproof connector body 2 at one end of the cable body 1, a first protective shell 3 at the top of the waterproof connector body 2, a second protective shell 4 at the bottom of the waterproof connector body 2, first side blocks 31 fixed on both sides of the first protective shell 3, a slot 32 formed at the bottom of the first side block 31, an internal groove 33 formed on one side of the first side block 31, a top pin 34 disposed inside the internal groove 33, and a pressing plate 35 disposed on one side of the first side block 31, the pressing plate 35 being fixedly connected to the top pin 34, the dimensions of the internal groove 33 being... The top pin 34 is sized to match and can slide in the built-in groove 33. The second protective shell 4 has a second side block 41 fixed on both sides. The top of the second side block 41 is fixed with a buckle 42. The buckle 42 is locked in the groove 32. The number of buckles 42 is the same as the number of grooves 32. The buckles 42 are fixed at equal intervals on the top of the second side block 41. The top and bottom of the waterproof connector body 2 are fixed with connecting blocks 51. The top of the first protective shell 3 and the bottom of the second protective shell 4 are both fixed with limit blocks 5. The limit blocks 5 have connecting grooves 52 inside. The connecting blocks 51 can be locked into the connecting grooves 52.

[0023] Working principle: The first protective shell 3 is placed on top of the waterproof connector body 2, and the connecting groove 52 in the limiting block 5 on the inner wall of the first protective shell 3 is engaged with the connecting block 51 to fix and limit the installation position of the first protective shell 3. Then, the second protective shell 4 is placed at the bottom of the waterproof connector body 2, and the connecting groove 52 in the limiting block 5 on the inner wall of the second protective shell 4 is engaged with the connecting block 51. At the same time, the first side block 31 and the second side block 41 are pressed to make the buckle 42 snap into the slot 32. The first side block 31 and the second side block 41 are connected by the slot 32 and the buckle 42, so that the first protective shell 3 and the second protective shell 4 can be installed on the outside of the waterproof connector body 2.

[0024] When disassembling the first protective shell 3 and the second protective shell 4, simply press the pressing plate 35 to push the top pin 34 to push the buckle 42, so that the buckle 42 separates from the slot 32.
