The plug terminal 12 disposed in the plug end 11 is electrically connected to the connecting terminal 5.

[0039] The socket structure in this embodiment differs from the traditional socket structure. In this embodiment, the socket structure is integrated with the device, and there is no protruding socket structure on the outside of the mounting panel 2. This does not affect the setting and design of other corresponding devices, making the structure simpler, taking up less space, and more suitable for narrow installation occasions.

[0040] Specifically, in order to ensure sealing performance and secure installation performance, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the sealing structure 3 includes at least a first sealing ring 32 that is partially disposed around the inside of the insertion hole 21 and a support seat 31 for supporting the first sealing ring 32. The insertion end 11 passes through the first sealing ring 32 and is sealed to it. The support seat 31 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting panel 2. That is, a socket nut 36 is embedded in the support seat 31. The socket bolt 37 is passed from the outside of the mounting panel 2 to the socket nut 36 and screwed to the socket nut 36, thereby fixing the support seat 31 to the inside of the mounting panel 2.

[0041] Furthermore, to improve the sealing performance of the sealing ring to the insertion end 11, such as... Figure 3-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the support base 31 is provided with an assembly hole 311 corresponding to the insertion hole 21, and the first sealing ring 32 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the assembly hole 311. The assembly hole 311, the insertion hole 21 and the insertion end 11 are adapted to each other in shape.

[0042] Furthermore, as a simple and reliable method of fixing the sealing ring, as shown in Figures 3-4, in this embodiment, a fixing groove 321 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the first sealing ring 32, and the inner wall of the assembly hole 311 is embedded in the fixing groove 321 to fix the first sealing ring 32 on the inner wall of the assembly hole 311.

[0043] In other embodiments, other fixing methods can also be used to fix the first sealing ring 32 to the inner wall of the assembly hole 311, such as integral injection molding, bonding, etc.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the insertion end 11 of the plug 1 into the first sealing ring 32 and form a sealed connection therewith, and to prevent the insertion end 11 from scratching the inner wall of the first sealing ring 32 that provides the sealing function when it first enters the first sealing ring 32, such as... Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a guide portion 322 and a sealing portion 323 are sequentially provided on the inner peripheral wall of the first sealing ring 32 along the insertion direction of the plug 1. The guide portion 322 is in clearance fit with the insertion end 11 of the plug 1, and the sealing portion 323 is in sealing fit with the insertion end 11 of the plug 1.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to achieve an effective seal between the bearing seat 31 and the mounting panel 2 to improve sealing performance, such as... Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 6, in this embodiment, a second sealing ring 33 is arranged around the outside of the first sealing ring 32 on the support seat 31. The second sealing ring 33 is embedded and fixed in a pre-set sealing groove 312 on the support seat 31. The support seat 31 and the mounting panel 2 are sealed together by the second sealing ring 33. In this embodiment, the socket nut 36 is distributed on the outside of the second sealing ring 33.

[0046] Furthermore, to prevent the connecting terminal 5 from protruding from the mounting panel 2 and causing accidental injury or damage, such as... Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the connecting terminal 5 facing the plug 1 is located inside the mounting panel 2.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the end of the connecting terminal 5 facing the plug 1 may also be flush with the outer end face of the mounting panel 2, depending on the actual design requirements.

[0048] like Figure 1-8As shown, the embodiments provided by this utility model also relate to a connection component, including a plug 1, a mounting panel 2, a device cable 4, and a socket structure as described above.

[0049] Specifically, the equipment cable 4 is located inside the mounting panel 2. The mounting panel 2 has a plug hole 21 through which the plug end 11 of the plug 1 passes. After the plug end 11 of the plug 1 enters the inside of the mounting panel 2 through the plug hole 21, it is sealed and connected to the sealing structure 3 in the socket structure. The plug terminal 12 located in the plug end 11 is electrically connected to the connection terminal 5 in the socket structure.

[0050] As described above, the sealing structure 3 in this connection assembly also includes a first sealing ring 32 surrounding the inner side of the insertion hole 21 and a support seat 31 for supporting the first sealing ring 32 and fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting panel 2. A second sealing ring 33 is surrounding the outer side of the first sealing ring 32, and the support seat 31 and the mounting panel 2 are sealed together by the second sealing ring 33.

[0051] Furthermore, to improve sealing performance and prevent liquid from entering or exiting the mounting panel 2 from the fixed position of the plug 1, such as... Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in this connecting assembly, the support base 31 is provided with a receiving groove 34 between the first sealing ring 32 and the second sealing ring 33. The plug 1 and the mounting panel 2 are fixedly connected by a bolt structure. The portion of the bolt structure located inside the mounting panel 2 is received in the receiving groove 34. Specifically, the bolt structure includes a plug nut 13 embedded in the plug 1 and a plug bolt 15 that extends from the inside of the mounting panel 2 and is connected to the plug nut 13. The head of the plug bolt 15 is received in the receiving groove 34.

[0052] To facilitate the installation and fixing of plug 1, such as Figure 2-5 and Figure 7 As shown, in this connection assembly, the plug 1 is provided with a positioning post 14, the mounting panel 2 is provided with a positioning hole 22, and the receiving groove 34 is provided with a positioning groove 35. When the plug 1 is connected to the mounting panel 2, one end of the positioning post 14 passes through the positioning hole 22 and is inserted into the positioning groove 35.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to secure the equipment cable 4, connecting terminal 5, and plug terminal 12 from the inside of the mounting panel 2 in one go, reducing assembly steps, such as... Figure 6As shown, in this connection assembly, both the end of the device cable 4 and the connection terminal 5 are provided with corresponding through holes, namely the first through hole 41 and the second through hole 52. Locking bolts 51 are installed in the through holes, namely the first through hole 41 and the second through hole 52. The plug terminal 12 of the plug 1 is provided with an internal threaded hole 121. The end of the locking bolt 51 facing the plug terminal 12 is inserted into the internal threaded hole 121 and screwed therein, so as to realize the fixed connection between the connection terminal 5 and the end of the device cable 4 and the conductive connection between the connection terminal 5 and the plug terminal 12.

[0054] During assembly, firstly, insert the plug end 11 of the plug 1 into the plug hole 21, while simultaneously, the positioning pin 14 passes through the positioning hole 22 of the mounting panel 2. Then, fix the bearing seat 31 to the inside of the mounting panel 2. At this time, the head of the plug bolt 15 is received in the receiving groove 34, and one end of the positioning pin 14 is inserted into the positioning groove 35. The plug end 11 of the plug 1 is sealed and engaged with the first sealing ring 32. Then, the locking bolt 51 passes through the first through hole 41 at the end of the equipment cable 4 and the second through hole 52 of the connecting terminal 5 in sequence, and connects to the internal thread hole 121 of the plug terminal 12. This completes the assembly of the plug 1 and socket structure, and establishes a conductive connection between the plug terminal 12, the connecting terminal 5, and the equipment cable 4.
