Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dustproof, splashproof, drip-proof, waterproof or fireproof housing technology, specifically a multifunctional electronic connector. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic connectors, also known as circuit connectors or electrical connectors, are conductor devices that bridge two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other. An electronic connector is a type of electrical system that provides a separable interface for connecting two secondary electronic systems. Simply put, a connector is a component used to complete electrical connections between circuits or electronic machines, i.e., a bridge between them.

[0003] Moisture is one of the main causes of circuit failures in electronic components. It can lead to short circuits, open circuits, leakage, and even fires. If the environment in which electronic connectors are used is humid, moisture in the air will enter the plug and socket, which will affect the circuit of the electronic connector, causing circuit failures and reducing the service life of the electronic connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multifunctional electronic connector that can prevent moisture in the air from affecting the connector's socket, thereby making the connector's circuitry less susceptible to moisture damage and thus extending its service life.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional electronic connector, comprising a connector body, a connection port on the left side of the connector body, and a first protective shell fixedly connected to the left side of the connector body;

[0008] The first protective shell is located at the connection port. The second protective shell is located on the left side of the first protective shell. Moisture-proof mechanisms are provided on the first and second protective shells to prevent moisture from entering the connection port.

[0009] The moisture-proof mechanism includes a first fixing plate, a second fixing plate, two nuts, two bolts, a mounting groove, a sealing ring, a moisture-proof sponge block, and four limit rods.

[0010] Preferably, the upper side of the first protective shell has two limiting grooves, both of which are T-shaped grooves and are arranged front to back.

[0011] The right side of the second protective shell is fixedly connected to two snap-fit ​​blocks, which are respectively adapted to two limiting grooves.

[0012] Preferably, the first fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first protective shell, and the second fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the second protective shell;

[0013] Both nuts are fixedly connected to the right side of the first fixing plate, and the two nuts are arranged front to back. Both bolts are located on the left side of the second fixing plate.

[0014] Preferably, the right ends of both bolts slide through the second fixing plate and the first fixing plate, and the right ends of the two bolts are threadedly connected to the two nuts respectively;

[0015] The mounting groove is formed on the inner surface of the second protective shell, and the right wall of the mounting groove extends out of the right side of the second protective shell.

[0016] Preferably, the sealing ring is disposed inside the mounting groove, and the sealing ring can contact the surface of the plug;

[0017] The moisture-proof sponge block is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing ring, and the four limit rods are all fixedly connected to the left wall of the mounting groove.

[0018] Preferably, the four limiting rods are arranged in a rectangular array, and the right ends of the four limiting rods slide through the moisture-proof sponge block and the sealing ring.

[0019] The right ends of the four limit rods are in contact with the left side of the first protective shell.

[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0021] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a multifunctional electronic connector with the following features:

[0022] Beneficial effects:

[0023] (1) This multifunctional electronic connector inserts the plug into the inside of the second protective shell, and then inserts the plug into the inside of the connection socket after passing through the second and first protective shells. At the same time, the surface of the plug will be in contact with the inner surface of the sealing ring, so that moisture cannot enter the inside of the connection socket. Meanwhile, the moisture-proof sponge will absorb the moisture that enters the second protective shell, thus preventing moisture from accumulating into water droplets inside the second protective shell. After a period of use, the operator can unplug the plug, remove the bolts, remove the second protective shell, and then move it to the right to remove and replace the sealing ring and the moisture-proof sponge. This prevents the moisture-proof sponge from absorbing too much moisture and becoming too wet. In this way, the moisture in the air can be prevented from affecting the connection socket, so that the circuit of the electronic connector is not easily affected by moisture and will not fail, thus improving the service life of the electronic connector.

[0024] (2) Because the right ends of the four limiting rods slide through the moisture-proof sponge block and the sealing ring, and the right ends of the four limiting rods are in contact with the left side of the first protective shell, the four limiting rods will play a role in limiting and fixing the moisture-proof sponge block and the sealing ring. As a result, the moisture-proof sponge block and the sealing ring will be limited inside the mounting groove, thus preventing them from moving and making it easier to replace them.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a new technical solution: a multifunctional electronic connector, including a connector body 1, a connection port 2 on the left side of the connector body 1, a first protective shell 3 fixedly connected to the left side of the connector body 1, the first protective shell 3 being located at the connection port 2, a second protective shell 6 on the left side of the first protective shell 3, two limiting grooves 4 on the upper side of the first protective shell 3, both limiting grooves 4 being T-shaped grooves, the two limiting grooves 4 being arranged front and back, two snap-fit ​​blocks 7 fixedly connected to the right side of the second protective shell 6, the two snap-fit ​​blocks 7 being adapted to the two limiting grooves 4 respectively, the first protective shell 3 and the second protective shell 6 being provided with a moisture-proof mechanism, which can prevent moisture from entering the connection port 2, the moisture-proof mechanism including a first fixing plate 5, a second fixing plate 8, two nuts 9, two bolts 10, a mounting groove 11, a sealing ring 12, a moisture-proof sponge block 13 and four limiting rods 14.

[0033] Furthermore, the first fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first protective shell 3, the second fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the second protective shell 6, two nuts 9 are fixedly connected to the right side of the first fixing plate 5, the two nuts 9 are arranged front and back, two bolts 10 are arranged on the left side of the second fixing plate 8, the right ends of the two bolts 10 slide through the second fixing plate 8 and the first fixing plate 5, and the right ends of the two bolts 10 are threadedly connected to the two nuts 9 respectively. The mounting groove 11 is formed on the inner surface of the second protective shell 6. The right wall of the first protective shell 6 extends to the right side of the second protective shell 6. The sealing ring 12 is set inside the mounting groove 11 and can contact the surface of the plug. The moisture-proof sponge block 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing ring 12. The four limiting rods 14 are all fixedly connected to the left wall of the mounting groove 11. The four limiting rods 14 are arranged in a rectangular array. The right ends of the four limiting rods 14 slide through the moisture-proof sponge block 13 and the sealing ring 12. The right ends of the four limiting rods 14 are in contact with the left side of the first protective shell 3.

[0034] When starting work, the operator inserts the electronic connector by aligning the plug with the inside of the second protective shell 6. The plug then passes through the second protective shell 6 and the first protective shell 3 before entering the connection socket 2. At the same time, the surface of the plug adheres to the inner surface of the sealing ring 12, preventing moisture from entering the connection socket 2. Meanwhile, the moisture-proof sponge block 13 absorbs any moisture that enters the second protective shell 6, thus preventing moisture from accumulating into water droplets inside the second protective shell 6. After a period of use, the operator unplugs the connector and removes the bolt 10. Moving it upwards allows the second protective shell 6 to be removed. The second protective shell 6 will then move the two locking blocks 7 out of the two limiting grooves 4. Moving it to the right allows the sealing ring 12 and the moisture-proof sponge block 13 to be removed and replaced, thus preventing the moisture-proof sponge block 13 from absorbing too much moisture and becoming too damp. The installation of the second protective shell 6 can then be completed in the above manner.

[0035] Because the right ends of the four limiting rods 14 slide through the moisture-proof sponge block 13 and the sealing ring 12, and the right ends of the four limiting rods 14 are in contact with the left side of the first protective shell 3, the four limiting rods 14 will limit and fix the moisture-proof sponge block 13 and the sealing ring 12. As a result, the moisture-proof sponge block 13 and the sealing ring 12 will be limited inside the mounting groove 11, thus preventing them from moving and facilitating their replacement. In this way, moisture in the air can be prevented from affecting the connection socket 2, thereby making the circuit of the electronic connector less susceptible to moisture damage and thus improving the service life of the electronic connector.

[0036] Working principle: When starting work, the operator inserts the plug into the second protective shell 6, passing through the second protective shell 6 and the first protective shell 3 before entering the connection socket 2. Simultaneously, the surface of the plug adheres to the inner surface of the sealing ring 12, preventing moisture from entering the connection socket 2. Meanwhile, the moisture-proof sponge block 13 absorbs any moisture that enters the second protective shell 6, preventing moisture from accumulating into water droplets inside. After a period of use, the operator unplugs the plug, removes the bolt 10, and moves it upwards to remove the second protective shell 6. The second protective shell 6 then moves the two locking blocks 7 out of the two limiting grooves 4, allowing the sealing ring 12 and the moisture-proof sponge block 13 to be removed and replaced. This prevents the moisture-proof sponge block 13 from absorbing too much moisture and becoming excessively damp. The installation of the second protective shell 6 is then completed using the above method.

[0037] Because the right ends of the four limiting rods 14 slide through the moisture-proof sponge block 13 and the sealing ring 12, and the right ends of the four limiting rods 14 are in contact with the left side of the first protective shell 3, the four limiting rods 14 will play a role in limiting and fixing the moisture-proof sponge block 13 and the sealing ring 12. As a result, the moisture-proof sponge block 13 and the sealing ring 12 will be limited inside the mounting groove 11, thus preventing them from moving and making it easier to replace them.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
