Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Type-C connector technology, and more particularly to a waterproof Type-C connector with sealing properties. Background Technology

[0002] Type-C connectors, also known as USB-C interfaces, are a new generation of universal serial bus connector standards. They are characterized by their small size, reversible plugging, fast transmission, and versatility, and are widely used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets, chargers, and data transmission devices.

[0003] Existing Type-C connectors lack a good sealing design when connected to other devices, which may allow foreign objects such as dust and liquids to enter the interface area, thereby affecting the lifespan of the interface and the performance of the device, especially when used outdoors or in high humidity environments, the problem is more prominent.

[0004] Therefore, to address the issue that existing Type-C connectors lack proper sealing design when connected to other devices, potentially allowing dust, liquids, and other foreign matter to enter the interface area, thus affecting the lifespan of the interface and the performance of the device, a waterproof Type-C connector with a sealed design can be designed. By adding waterproof and dustproof sealing rings, the Type-C connector can achieve better sealing performance when connected to other devices. This effectively prevents dust and liquids from entering the interface, not only improving the durability and reliability of the device but also expanding its application scenarios in harsh environments, such as industrial equipment, outdoor electronic equipment, and marine equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problem that existing Type-C connectors lack good sealing design when connected to other devices, which may allow foreign objects such as dust and liquid to enter the interface area, thereby affecting the service life of the interface and the performance of the device.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a waterproof Type-C connector with sealing performance, including a connector head; and a waterproof component. The outer end of the connector head is provided with the waterproof component, which includes a threaded ring, a fixing ring, a connecting ring, a spring, a circular ring, a sealing ring, a socket, and a protective ring. The outer end of the connector head is provided with a threaded ring, and the threaded ring is internally threaded with a fixing ring. The fixing ring is connected to the connector head. The front end of the threaded ring is connected with a connecting ring. The front end of the connecting ring has a groove, and multiple springs are connected at equal intervals inside the groove. The end of the spring away from the connecting ring is connected with a circular ring. The front end of the circular ring is connected with a sealing ring.

[0007] Preferably, by setting up a waterproof component, the connector is aligned with the external device, the socket is connected to the external device, and after connection, the threaded ring is rotated. The threaded ring rotates on the fixed ring, thereby moving and pushing the connecting ring towards the connection point, so that the sealing ring fits against the external device. The sealing ring drives the ring to move, and the movement of the ring pushes the spring to contract. The protective ring can prevent the connection point with the wire from being too bent and breaking, and makes the sealing ring fit more closely with the external device, thereby achieving a waterproof effect. This solves the problem that existing Type-C connectors lack a good sealing design when connected to other devices, which may allow dust, liquids and other foreign objects to enter the interface area, thereby affecting the service life of the interface and the performance of the device.

[0008] Preferably, the rear end of the connector is connected to a protective sleeve, and the data cable is connected to the rear end of the connector inside the protective sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing ring is connected to the end of the data cable away from the connector, and the protective sleeve is connected to the sealing ring.

[0010] Preferably, the rear end of the sealing ring is connected to a plug, which is in the shape of an inverted L.

[0011] Preferably, the plug has multiple anti-slip grooves at equal intervals on both the left and right ends, and two prongs are connected to the left and right sides of the rear end of the plug.

[0012] Preferably, the plug is made of thermoplastic polyimide material, and the prongs are made of nickel-plated material.

[0013] Preferably, the protective ring is made of aluminum alloy, the sealing ring is made of fluororubber, and the threaded ring is made of aluminum alloy.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By setting up waterproof components, align the connector with the external device, connect the socket to the external device, and after connection, rotate the threaded ring. The threaded ring rotates on the fixed ring, thereby moving and pushing the connecting ring towards the connection point, so that the sealing ring fits against the external device. The sealing ring drives the ring to move, and the movement of the ring pushes the spring to contract. The protective ring can prevent the connection point with the wire from being too bent and breaking, and makes the sealing ring fit more closely with the external device, thereby achieving a waterproof effect. This solves the problem that existing Type-C connectors lack good sealing design when connected to other devices, which may allow dust, liquids and other foreign objects to enter the interface area, thereby affecting the service life of the interface and the performance of the device.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a waterproof Type-C connector with sealing properties, including a connector head 1 and a waterproof component. The outer end of the connector head 1 is provided with the waterproof component, which includes a threaded ring 21, a retaining ring 22, a connecting ring 23, a spring 24, a circular ring 25, a sealing ring 26, a socket 27, and a protective ring 28. The outer end of the connector head 1 is provided with a threaded ring 21, and the retaining ring 22 is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded ring 21. The retaining ring 22 is connected to the connector head 1. The front end of the threaded ring 21 is connected to the connecting ring 23. The front end of the connecting ring 23 has a groove, and multiple springs 24 are connected at equal intervals inside the groove. The end of the spring 24 away from the connecting ring 23 is connected to the circular ring 25. The front end of the circular ring 25 is connected to the sealing ring 26. The front end of the connector head 1 is connected to the socket 27. The rear end of the threaded ring 21 is connected to a protective ring 28. By setting a waterproof component, the connector 1 is aligned with the external device, and the socket 27 is connected to the external device. After connection, the threaded ring 21 is rotated, and the threaded ring 21 rotates on the fixed ring 22, thereby moving and pushing the connecting ring 23 to the connection point, so that the sealing ring 26 fits against the external device. The sealing ring 26 drives the ring 25 to move, and the movement of the ring 25 pushes the spring 24 to contract. The protective ring 28 can prevent the connection point with the wire from being too bent and breaking, and makes the sealing ring 26 fit more closely with the external device, thereby achieving a waterproof effect. This solves the problem that the existing Type-C connector lacks a good sealing design when connected to other devices, which may cause dust, liquid and other foreign objects to enter the interface area, thereby affecting the service life of the interface and the performance of the device.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, a protective sleeve 31 is connected to the rear end of the connector 1. A data cable 32 is connected inside the protective sleeve 31 to the rear end of the connector 1. The protective sleeve 31 is used to protect the data cable 32. A sealing ring 33 is connected to the end of the data cable 32 away from the connector 1. The protective sleeve 31 is connected to the sealing ring 33. The sealing ring 33 is used to prevent liquid from seeping into the connection of the connector 1. A plug 34 is connected to the rear end of the sealing ring 33. The plug 34 is inverted L-shaped. The inverted L-shaped plug 34 can improve the flexibility of the connection and make the connection unobstructed by other plugs 34.

[0024] Please see Figures 2-4In this embodiment, the plug 34 has multiple anti-slip grooves 35 evenly spaced at both ends. The rear end of the plug 34 is connected to two pins 36 on both sides. The anti-slip grooves 35 facilitate the insertion of the plug 34 into the socket. The plug 34 is made of thermoplastic polyimide material, and the pins 36 are made of nickel-plated material. The nickel-plated pins 36 enhance the oxidation resistance and improve the reliability of the connector in humid environments. The thermoplastic polyimide material provides excellent insulation and heat resistance, and is particularly suitable for long-term use or high-humidity environments. The protective ring 28 is made of aluminum alloy material, the sealing ring 26 is made of fluororubber material, and the threaded ring 21 is made of aluminum alloy material. Fluororubber material has better high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and can maintain elasticity and sealing effect for a long time.

[0025] During operation, align connector 1 with the external device and connect socket 27 to the external device. After connection, rotate threaded ring 21. Threaded ring 21 rotates on fixed ring 22, thus moving and pushing connecting ring 23 towards the connection point, causing sealing ring 26 to fit against the external device. Sealing ring 26 drives ring 25 to move, and the movement of ring 25 pushes spring 24 to contract. Protective ring 28 prevents excessive bending at the connection point with the wire, thus preventing breakage. This ensures a closer fit between sealing ring 26 and the external device, achieving a waterproof effect. Sealing ring 26 is made of fluororubber, and threaded ring 21 is made of aluminum alloy. Fluororubber has better high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, maintaining elasticity and sealing effect for a long time. Nickel-plated pins 36 enhance oxidation resistance and improve connector reliability in humid environments. Thermoplastic polyimide provides excellent insulation and heat resistance, making it particularly suitable for long-term use or high-humidity environments. Pinch the anti-slip groove 35 and insert the pins 36 on plug 34 into the socket to supply power to the external device.

[0026] Through the above steps, by setting up waterproof components, aligning connector 1 with the external device, and connecting socket 27 to the external device, after connection, rotate threaded ring 21. Threaded ring 21 rotates on fixed ring 22, thereby moving and pushing connecting ring 23 towards the connection point, so that sealing ring 26 fits against the external device. Sealing ring 26 drives ring 25 to move, and the movement of ring 25 pushes spring 24 to contract. Protective ring 28 can prevent excessive bending at the connection point with the wire, which could lead to breakage. This makes sealing ring 26 fit more snugly against the external device, thus achieving a waterproof effect. This solves the problem that existing Type-C connectors lack good sealing design when connected to other devices, which may allow dust, liquids, and other foreign objects to enter the interface area, thereby affecting the service life of the interface and the performance of the device.
