[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in one embodiment of the present invention, a three-core power connector includes a plug 1 and a socket 2. The plug 1 has a connecting sleeve 101 at its terminal. The connecting sleeve 101 has a radially contracting portion 1011. The side wall of the radially contracting portion 1011 has multiple telescopic openings 1012. The connecting sleeve 101 has a cable sealing ring 102 inside. The connecting sleeve 101 is threadedly connected to a tail cap 103. The inner wall of the tail cap 103 has a radially tightening portion 1031. The diameter of the radially tightening portion 1031 gradually decreases from one end near the radially contracting portion 1011 to the other end.

[0033] During wiring, first, the cable is passed through the tail cap 103 and inserted into the connecting sleeve 101. The cable makes tight contact with the cable sealing ring 102 inside the connecting sleeve 101, initially achieving a seal. Next, the tail cap 103 is tightened. As the tail cap 103 rotates, the diameter of the radial tightening part 1031 on the inner wall of the tail cap 103 gradually decreases from one end near the radial contraction part 1011 to the other end. During the tightening process, the radial tightening part 1031 exerts a continuous squeezing effect on the radial contraction part 1011. The radial contraction part 1011 has multiple telescopic openings 1012 on its side wall, giving it a certain deformation capability. Under the squeezing of the radial tightening part 1031, the radial contraction part 1011 contracts radially, further compressing the cable sealing ring 102, making the seal between the cable sealing ring 102 and the cable tighter. This also enhances the sealing performance between the connecting sleeve 101 and the cable, effectively preventing moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering through the connecting cable.

[0034] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the radial contraction part 1011 and the radial tightening part 1031, compared with the traditional injection sealant method, the complex injection process is not needed, the operation process is simplified, the skill level of the operator is reduced, and the subsequent maintenance work is facilitated, and the maintenance difficulty and cost are reduced. Compared with the method of using an interference fit sealing ring, special tooling fixtures are not needed to expand and compress the sealing ring, the operation is simple, the assembly efficiency is improved, the production cycle is shortened, and it is suitable for large-scale production.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , in a preferred example, the telescopic opening 1012 is obliquely arranged.

[0036] The end of the radial contraction part 1011 is provided with a chamfer 1013.

[0037] The radial tightening part 1031 is provided with a spiral convex strip 1032.

[0038] When connecting, during the tightening of the tail cover 103, the radial tightening part 1031 gradually approaches the radial contraction part 1011 of the connecting sleeve 101. Due to the gradual change in diameter of the radial tightening part 1031, when the two are close, the spiral convex strip 1032 increases the friction between the radial tightening part 1031 and the radial contraction part 1011, and strengthens the extrusion effect. The telescopic opening 1012 arranged obliquely on the side wall of the radial contraction part 1011 is more easily guided to twist and deform in the expected direction when extruded due to the design of the oblique angle, making the deformation process smoother. At the same time, the chamfer 1013 at the end of the radial contraction part 1011 allows the radial tightening part 1031 to contact the radial contraction part 1011 more smoothly when approaching, avoiding damage caused by hard contact, and further assisting the radial contraction part 1011 to shrink smoothly. Finally, the radial contraction part 1011 tightly presses the cable sealing ring 102, enhancing the sealing between the connecting sleeve 101 and the cable in all directions, effectively preventing impurities from entering.

[0039] In this embodiment, the obliquely arranged telescopic opening 1012 improves the deformation efficiency and uniformity of the radial contraction part 1011, ensuring that it can better play a role when extruded, enhancing the sealing effect. The chamfer 1013 at the end of the radial contraction part 1011 not only protects the part from being damaged during assembly, but also makes the entire operation process smoother, reducing the assembly difficulty. The spiral convex strip 1032 on the radial tightening part 1031 increases the friction, making the extrusion of the radial tightening part 1031 on the radial contraction part 1011 more stable and effective, and thus more tightly pressing the cable sealing ring 102.

[0040] As shown in Figure 4As shown in the drawings, in a preferred example, the cable sealing ring 102 is provided with a waterproof film 1021.

[0041] The waterproof film 1021 plays a good waterproof role when the cable is not connected, ensuring that the internal circuit is not eroded by water; when the cable is connected, only the waterproof film 1021 needs to be punctured, which is simple to operate, meets the waterproof requirement, and also takes into account the convenience of connection.

[0042] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in a preferred example, the plug 1 is provided with a first sealing ring 108, and the plug-in end of the socket 2 abuts against the first sealing ring 108.

[0043] The socket 2 is provided with a connecting flange 2011, and the connecting flange 2011 is provided with a second sealing ring 203. The connecting flange 2011 is used for installing the socket 2.

[0044] When the power supply is connected, the plug 1 is inserted into the socket 2, and the first sealing ring 108 on the plug 1 abuts against the plug-in end of the socket 2. The first sealing ring 108 fills the gap at the plug-in end of the plug 1 and the socket 2 by virtue of its elasticity, preventing external impurities from entering. In addition, when the socket 2 is installed, the second sealing ring 203 on the connecting flange 2011 will tightly fit the installation surface, filling the gap between the connecting flange 2011 and the installation surface, improving the sealing performance of the socket 2 installation part, preventing moisture, dust and other impurities from entering from the socket 2 installation part, and ensuring the normal work of the power supply connector.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first sealing ring 108 and the second sealing ring 203 further improve the overall sealing performance of the power supply connector. The first sealing ring 108 effectively fills the gap at the plug-in end of the plug 1 and the socket 2, reducing the problem of unstable power supply transmission caused by poor sealing at the interface, and ensuring the reliability of the power supply connection. The second sealing ring 203 on the connecting flange 2011 not only strengthens the sealing performance of the socket 2 installation part, but also plays a role in shock absorption and buffering to a certain extent, reducing the impact of external vibration on the socket 2 and prolonging the service life of the socket 2.

[0046] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in a preferred example, the plug 1 includes a second housing 104 and a plug core 105 connected by plug-in, the plug core 105 is provided with a plug-in sheath 1051, the plug-in sheath 1051 is provided with a female seat pole piece 106 inside, and the female seat pole piece 106 is provided with a clamping force enhancer 107 outside.

[0047] The clamping force enhancer 107 is an elastic metal sheet arranged outside the female seat pole piece 106, which enhances the clamping force of the female seat pole piece 106 on the male pin of the socket 2, ensures the stable connection of the female seat pole piece 106 and the male pin of the socket 2, reduces the contact resistance, and reduces the risk of heating. The plug-in sheath 1051 can prevent people from accidentally touching the female seat pole piece 106, thereby improving the safety of use.

[0048] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 In a preferred example, the socket 2 terminal is provided with a terminal slot 204 for accommodating the terminal, and the socket 2 is provided with a terminal fastener for connecting the terminal at the terminal slot 204.

[0049] The terminal fastener includes a nut embedded in the socket 2, and the nut is threadedly connected with a bolt, and the head of the bolt is accommodated in the terminal slot 204.

[0050] An insulating partition plate 205 is arranged in the terminal slot 204, and terminals of different polarities are arranged on both sides of the insulating partition plate 205.

[0051] During the terminal operation, the terminal (such as a wire nose) is first placed into the terminal slot 204 of the socket 2 terminal. The terminal slot 204 provides a space for accommodating the terminal, facilitating the terminal operation and line management. During installation, the wire nose or the PCB can be directly connected through the terminal fastener, facilitating installation. Terminals of different polarities, such as positive and negative terminals, are placed on both sides of the insulating partition plate 205. In the subsequent working process, the current is transmitted through the terminal, the insulating partition plate 205 effectively isolates the terminals of different polarities to prevent short circuit, ensures stable transmission of the current, and ensures normal operation of the power connector.

[0052] In the embodiment, the arrangement of the terminal slot 204 makes the installation of the terminal more standardized and orderly, avoids potential risks caused by disordered lines, and facilitates subsequent maintenance and repair, enabling quick positioning and processing of line problems. The insulating partition plate 205 separates the terminals of different polarities to prevent accidental contact between lines of different polarities, effectively enhances the insulation performance of the power connector, greatly reduces the probability of short circuit failure, and improves the stability and reliability of power transmission.

[0053] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 In a preferred example, the socket 2 includes a first housing 201 and a rear cover 202, the first housing 201 is provided with a clamping groove 2012, the rear cover 202 is provided with a clamping buckle 2021 matched with the clamping groove 2012, the insulating partition plate 205 includes a plug plate 2013 arranged on the first housing 201 and a plug slot 2022 arranged on the rear cover 202, and the plug plate 2013 and the plug slot 2022 are connected in plug-in mode.

[0054] When the socket 2 is assembled, first, the rear cover 202 provided with the slot 2022 is docked with the first shell 201 with the clamping groove 2012. After the alignment position, the buckle 2021 on the rear cover 202 is clamped into the clamping groove 2012 of the first shell 201, and the first shell 201 is connected with the rear cover 202 as the buckle 2021 is tightly engaged with the clamping groove 2012. At the same time, the plugboard 2013 provided on the first shell 201 is inserted into the slot 2022 on the rear cover 202. During the insertion process, the plugboard 2013 is tightly fitted with the slot 2022, and the insulation partition plate 205 is assembled.

[0055] In the embodiment, the first shell 201 and the rear cover 202 are connected through the clamping connection of the clamping groove 2012 and the buckle 2021, so that the overall structure of the socket 2 is firm, effectively resisting external force impact, reducing the risk of damage to internal components caused by collision. In terms of insulation performance guarantee, the plug-in connection mode of the plugboard 2013 and the slot 2022 ensures the installation precision and stability of the insulation partition plate 205, which can more effectively separate the wiring terminals of different polarities, further improve the insulation performance, and reduce the hidden danger of short circuit. In addition, this modular assembly design simplifies the assembly process of the socket 2, reduces the production difficulty and cost, and is convenient for large-scale production and manufacturing, and also facilitates the replacement and maintenance of internal components of the socket 2.
