Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of USB connector manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a waterproof sheath for Type-C connectors. Background Technology
[0002] Type-C is a type of USB interface that can be inserted either way. It measures approximately 8.3mm x 2.5mm and, like other interfaces, supports USB standard functions such as charging, data transfer, and display output. The USB Type-C interface is symmetrical, so its insertion and removal, as well as the cable orientation, are both possible. This freedom in insertion and removal solves a major problem associated with previous interfaces. Previously, the type of interface indicated the function of the accessory (Type-A for the host, Type-B for external devices). The USB Type-C interface can be plugged into either end, and the function is defined by the connected hardware. The interfaces at both ends of a USB Type-C cable are identical, further simplifying insertion and removal.
[0003] A prior art patent, CN214849300U, discloses a waterproof sleeve for a Type-C connector. This patent includes a hollow waterproof sleeve body. The inner wall of the waterproof sleeve body has internal limiting platforms on both sides, with an overhang at one end. The outer surface of the waterproof sleeve body has a shell mounting groove located in the middle of its surface. A limiting block is located at the center of the shell mounting groove, and outwardly protruding buckles are located on both sides of the groove. By providing internal limiting platforms and overhangs on the inner wall of the waterproof sleeve body, the terminal assembly is prevented from shaking, thus achieving a secure connection between the terminal assembly and the waterproof sleeve. The sleeve body is tightly connected; by setting a shell mounting groove on the outside of the waterproof sleeve body, and setting a buckle and limiting block in the shell mounting groove, a tight connection between the shell and the waterproof sleeve body is achieved; the setting of the waterproof sleeve body plays a role in sealing and waterproofing, improving the waterproof performance and safety of the Type-C connector. However, in actual use, there are still the following shortcomings: In practice, when installing and using the Type-C connector, this patent cannot achieve its tight waterproof protection according to the connection conditions of the Type-C connector. When the Type-C connector is bent at a certain angle, it is difficult to guarantee the sealing of the connection, thus reducing the waterproof performance.
[0004] Therefore, a waterproof sleeve for Type-C connectors is needed to solve the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to achieve tight waterproof protection for Type-C connectors according to their connection conditions. Utility Model Content

[0007] It should be noted in the solution that the outer protective sleeve is made of silicone material.
[0008] It is worth noting that multiple extrusion grooves are provided on the outside of the outer protective sleeve, and the multiple extrusion grooves are evenly distributed on the elastic extrusion part at intervals.
[0009] It should be further noted that the sealing ring is located inside the outer protective sleeve via a connecting frame, and the right side of the sealing ring protrudes from the right side surface of the outer protective sleeve.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the inner diameter of the sealing connection part is smaller than that of the extrusion mounting part, and the inner diameter of the extrusion mounting part is smaller than that of the connection protection part.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the waterproof sleeve for Type-C connectors provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) By providing an elastic compression part on the outside of the waterproof sheath body, the waterproof sheath body can be easily bent and deformed, thereby improving the practicality of the connection of the Type-C connector connected inside, so as to facilitate various connection and plugging operations of the Type-C connector, thereby improving its ease of use, and at the same time, the sealing performance of the plugging and unplugging connection is improved in conjunction with the connection sealing port.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a waterproof sleeve for a Type-C connector, including a waterproof sleeve body 1, an outer protective sleeve 101 on the outside of the waterproof sleeve body 1, an installation insertion port 2 on the left side of the waterproof sleeve body 1 for inserting and installing a Type-C connector, and a connection sealing port 4 on the right side of the waterproof sleeve body 1 for connecting and sealing the installed Type-C connector. An elastic compression part 3 is provided on the outer side of the outer protective sleeve 101, and compression grooves 301 are formed on the elastic compression part 3. Multiple compression grooves 301 are formed on the outer side of the outer protective sleeve 101 and are evenly distributed on the elastic compression part 3. A connecting frame 5 is provided inside the outer protective sleeve 101 for sealing the installed Type-C connector. A sealing ring 401 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer protective sleeve 101 on the inner side of the connection sealing port 4. The sealing ring 401 is set inside the outer protective sleeve 101 through the connecting frame 5, and the right side of the sealing ring 401 protrudes from the right side surface of the outer protective sleeve 101. The sealing ring 401 is made of rubber material.
[0023] In use, the sealing ring 401 improves the sealing performance of the Type-C connector after insertion, thereby enhancing its waterproofness. Furthermore, the elastic compression part 3 allows the waterproof sheath body 1 to bend the outer protective sleeve 101 at a certain angle during connection, further improving its practicality. The connecting frame 5, located inside the waterproof sheath body 1 for connecting with the Type-C connector, ensures a tight connection between the Type-C connector and the waterproof sheath body 1, thus improving the waterproofness of the Type-C connector within it.
[0024] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the outer protective sleeve 101 is made of silicone material, which is elastic. Through elastic compression during the installation process, it can always fit tightly with the Type-C connector, thereby ensuring its sealing performance. At the same time, it can provide elastic protection and improve its stability in use.
[0025] As can be seen from the above working process, the elastic compression part 3 provided on the outside of the waterproof sheath body 1 can easily bend and deform the waterproof sheath body 1, thereby improving the practicality of the connection of the Type-C connector connected therein, so as to facilitate various connection and plugging operations of the Type-C connector, thereby improving its ease of use, and at the same time, it can improve the sealing performance of its plugging and unplugging connection by cooperating with the connection sealing port 4.
[0026] Further as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it is worth noting that the connecting frame 5 includes a sealing connection part 501, a compression mounting part 502, and a connecting protection part 503. The sealing connection part 501, the compression mounting part 502, and the connecting protection part 503 are arranged sequentially from left to right inside the outer protective sleeve 101. The sealing connection part 501, the compression mounting part 502, and the connecting protection part 503 are made of rubber material. The inner diameter of the sealing connection part 501 is smaller than that of the compression mounting part 502, and the inner diameter of the compression mounting part 502 is smaller than that of the connecting protection part 503.
[0027] In use, the inner sealing connection part 501, the compression mounting part 502, and the connection protection part 503 of the connecting frame 5 can provide connection protection for the Type-C connector. The sealing connection part 501 can tightly fit the Type-C connector, thereby ensuring its waterproof sealing and preventing the Type-C connector from moving. The compression mounting part 502 and the connection protection part 503 are set together with the elastic compression part 3 to facilitate the compression of the outer protective sleeve 101, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the Type-C connector and improving its installation efficiency.
[0028] This solution has the following working process: When this device is used, the Type-C connector is inserted into the waterproof sheath body 1 from left to right for installation. Through the setting of the connecting frame 5, its inner sealing connection part 501, compression mounting part 502, and connection protection part 503 can connect and protect the Type-C connector. The sealing connection part 501 can tightly fit the Type-C connector, thereby ensuring its waterproof sealing and preventing the Type-C connector from moving. The compression mounting part 502 and the connection protection part 503, together with the elastic compression part 3, facilitate the compression of the outer protective sleeve 101, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the Type-C connector and improving its installation efficiency. Furthermore, the sealing ring 401 can improve the sealing performance of the Type-C connector after insertion, thereby improving its waterproof performance. And through the setting of the elastic compression part 3, the waterproof sheath body 1 can be bent at a certain angle to the outer protective sleeve 101 when connected, further improving its practicality.
[0029] In summary: The elastic compression part 3 provided on the outside of the waterproof sheath body 1 allows for easy bending and deformation of the waterproof sheath body 1, thereby improving the practicality of connecting the Type-C connector inside, facilitating various connection and disconnection operations of the Type-C connector, thus enhancing its ease of use. Simultaneously, the connection sealing port 4 improves the sealing performance of the connection. Furthermore, the connection frame 5 provided inside the waterproof sheath body 1 for connecting the Type-C connector ensures a tight connection of the Type-C connector within the waterproof sheath body 1, thereby improving the waterproofness of the Type-C connector within it.
