Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic components technology, and in particular to a waterproof structure for an electronic lead connector. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic lead connectors are key components that enable electrical connections between electronic devices or between components within an electronic device. They are responsible for transmitting current and signals, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
[0003] Referring to existing patent publication number CN210183217U, a waterproof lead wire and power adapter are disclosed, including a lead wire with a waterproof connector injection molded on its outer surface. The waterproof connector is provided with a front limiting block, a waterproof fixing module, and a rear limiting block arranged sequentially from front to back. In this utility model, the waterproof connector on the waterproof lead wire is fixedly connected to the wiring hole of the electronic device by a snap-fit method, and the waterproof fixing module is tightly integrated with the wiring hole of the electronic device. This ensures a stable connection between the waterproof lead wire and the wiring hole, while also providing good waterproof and dustproof effects.
[0004] However, in actual use, existing electronic lead connectors may suffer from problems such as short circuits, leakage, or poor contact due to moisture seeping into the connector in humid rainy environments, which seriously affects the stability and safety of electronic equipment. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a waterproof structure for electronic lead connectors. This invention utilizes a protective sleeve fitted over the connector. During connection, the protective sleeve, which can be moved via a guide component, provides some shielding and protection between the connectors, reducing the exposure of internal components and their contact with rainwater, thus minimizing water penetration. Furthermore, a seal at one end of the protective sleeve further reinforces and seals the connection point, enhancing the waterproof effect.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A waterproof structure for an electronic lead connector, comprising:
[0008] The connector body is cylindrical in shape and has a coaxially arranged conductor inside;
[0009] A protective sleeve is mounted on the surface of the connector body via a guide assembly, and the protective sleeve is movable along the axial direction of the connector body;
[0010] One end of the protective sleeve has an opening, and a seal that can move elastically is provided at the opening.
[0011] The present invention further comprises the guide component including: a slider, a groove, and an elastic element;
[0012] The grooves are all located inside the protective sleeve, the elastic elements are all installed on one side of the groove, and the sliders are all installed on the surface of the connector body and connected to the movable end of the elastic element.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the protective sleeve and the connector body are coaxially arranged and in close contact.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the length of the protective sleeve is greater than the length of the connector body, and the open end protrudes from the connector body.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the sealing element is a conical shape that can protrude outward along the opening direction of the protective sleeve.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the inner diameter of the sealing element is smaller than the outer diameter of the connector body.
[0017] The present invention is further configured such that a lead wire is connected to the other end of the connector body for transmitting electrical signals or current, and the internal structure of the connector body has a limiting part.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By attaching a protective sleeve to the outside of the connector, the protective sleeve, which can be moved by the guide component, can provide a certain degree of shielding and protection between the connectors when they are connected, reducing the penetration of rainwater and other factors. Furthermore, the sealing element at one end of the protective sleeve can further reinforce and seal the connection point, improving the waterproof effect.
[0019] 1. The waterproof structure of this electronic lead connector, through the combination of a protective sleeve and a guiding component, allows the external protective sleeve, which can move via the guiding component, to provide a certain degree of shielding and protection between the connectors during connection, reducing the penetration of rainwater and other factors. During docking, personnel can push the protective sleeve, which can compress or stretch the elastic element to expose the connector body for docking. In the initial state, the protective sleeve can protrude from the connector body for shielding and protection, improving flexibility.
[0020] 2. The waterproof structure of this electronic lead connector is equipped with a sealing element. Because the sealing element is located at the opening end of the protective sleeve and has a small inner diameter, when connected to the connector, the mating part can drive the sealing element to bend inward to fit tightly against the mating part. Thus, the tightness between the mating part and the connector can be improved under the action of the sealing element with a certain elasticity. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0027] The embodiments of this patent are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this patent, and should not be construed as limiting this patent.
[0028] In the description of this patent, it should be understood that the terms “center,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” and “outer,” etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this patent and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this patent.
[0029] In the description of this patent, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this patent according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] Reference Figure 1-4A waterproof structure for an electronic lead connector includes: a connector body 1, which is cylindrical and has a coaxially arranged conductor 5 inside for transmitting current or signals; a protective sleeve 2, which is installed on the surface of the connector body 1 by a guiding component, and the protective sleeve 2 can move along the axis of the connector body 1. The movable protective sleeve 2 can provide a certain degree of shielding and protection at the connection point when it is in its initial position, reducing the exposure of the connection point and the penetration of rainwater. When the guiding component moves, the protective sleeve 2 can expose the connector body 1 for docking, improving flexibility; one end of the protective sleeve 2 has an opening, and a resiliently movable sealing element 4 is provided at the opening, which achieves effective waterproof protection for the connector body 1.
[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 2-4 The guiding components include: sliders 7, grooves 8, and elastic elements 9; the grooves 8 are all opened inside the protective sleeve 2, the elastic elements 9 are all installed inside the grooves 8, and the sliders 7 are all installed on the surface of the connector body 1 and connected to the movable end of the elastic element 9. In this embodiment, the grooves 8 can provide the sliders 7 with a moving trajectory and limiting function, and increase the connection strength between the protective sleeve 2 and the connector body 1, reduce the offset, so that the connector body 1 and the protective sleeve 2 can form a stable connection relationship, while allowing the protective sleeve 2 to move within a certain range, and then the protective sleeve 2 can also return to the initial position under the action of the elastic element 9.
[0032] Furthermore, the protective sleeve 2 is coaxially arranged and in close contact with the connector body 1. This design ensures that the protective sleeve 2 can evenly cover the surface of the connector body 1, reducing the possibility of moisture and humidity entering the interior of the connector through tiny gaps.
[0033] Furthermore, the length of the protective sleeve 2 is greater than the length of the connector body 1, and the open end protrudes beyond the connector body 1. This design allows for the formation of a longer waterproof barrier on the outside of the connector body 1, thereby increasing the waterproof coverage of the connector body 1.
[0034] Furthermore, the seal 4 is constructed as a tapered shape that protrudes outward along the opening direction of the protective sleeve 2, which can provide a certain guide for the connection of the mating parts. The inner diameter of the seal 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the connector body 1. Through this design, when connected with the connector, the mating part can drive the seal 4 to bend inward to fit tightly against the mating part. Thus, under the action of the seal 4 with a certain elastic effect, the tightness between the mating part and the connector can be improved. The elastic material of the seal 4 will be further compressed, thereby generating greater sealing pressure and improving the waterproof effect.
[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-3The other end of the connector body 1 is connected to a lead wire 3 for transmitting electrical signals or current. The internal structure of the connector body 1 has a limiting part 6. Through this embodiment, the limiting part 6 can better limit the connector body 1 and the docking component, reducing the movement after the connector is connected.
[0036] Working principle: When using this utility model, when connecting the connectors, the protective sleeve 2, which can be moved by the guide component, can provide a certain degree of shielding and protection between the connectors, reducing the penetration of rainwater and other factors. During docking, personnel can push the protective sleeve 2, which can compress or stretch the elastic element 9 to expose the connector body 1 for docking. In the initial state, the protective sleeve 2 can protrude from the connector body 1 for shielding and protection, improving flexibility. Since a sealing element 4 is provided at the open end of the protective sleeve 2, and the inner diameter of the sealing element 4 is small, when connected to the connector, the docking component can drive the sealing element 4 to bend inward to fit tightly against the docking component. Thus, under the action of the sealing element 4 with a certain elasticity, the tightness between the docking component and the connector can be improved, and the waterproof effect can be enhanced.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
