Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connectors, and more particularly to a network power connector. Background Technology
[0002] Connectors include network connectors and power connectors. A connector is a conductor device that bridges two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to another. It is widely used in various electrical circuits to connect or disconnect current or signals. This connection may be temporary and easy to plug and unplug at any time, or it may be a permanent junction between electrical equipment or wires.
[0003] An investigation revealed that patent number CN202110371847.0 discloses a connector structure and a modular hybrid circular connector, including a housing, a base, and modular connectors. The base has an axially arranged through-hole, and a modular connector is axially fixedly connected to the through-hole. The modular connector and the through-hole are separable, and modular connectors with different connection signals can be connected within the through-hole. The housing has openings at both ends, and the base is axially fixedly connected to the housing. The base and the housing are separable, and bases with different numbers of through-holes can be connected within the housing. This invention allows for different combinations of components to be installed on a circular connector, meeting various connection requirements and improving integration. This circular connector structure also provides external shielding and protection for the modular connectors, meeting the needs of field use and reliable connection requirements under high-frequency vibration, tension, and torsion environments between vehicle compartments. However, its waterproof performance is insufficient to meet market demands. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model addresses the problems of existing technologies by proposing a network power connector that is compact in size and features a dual-position waterproof cover that allows for dust and water protection for both insertion ports simultaneously or for a single insertion port, depending on user needs. It also boasts a simple structure, strong waterproof performance, and prevents risks such as short circuits.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model: a network power connector, comprising:
[0006] An outer casing with two mounting cavities inside, and through insertion holes and connection holes along the axial position of the mounting cavities;
[0007] The two connection components are a network connection core and a power connection core. The connection components are divided into a front section and a rear section and are installed and fixed in the mounting cavity.
[0008] Its features are:
[0009] A waterproof groove is arranged in a ring at the front end of the mounting cavity, and a waterproof ring is fixed in the waterproof groove;
[0010] A limiting platform is arranged in a ring in the middle of the mounting cavity, with a through hole in the middle for the front section to pass through;
[0011] A mounting ring is installed between the front and rear sections;
[0012] A waterproof gasket is fitted between the front end of the mounting ring and the limiting platform.
[0013] A double-sided waterproof cover, wherein the fixing part of the waterproof cover is fixed to the outer shell, and the fixing part is connected to two waterproof caps, which can be detachably covered to cover the insertion hole.
[0014] Further improvement: The mounting cavity includes a network mounting cavity and a power supply mounting cavity arranged side by side.
[0015] Further improvements: The inner wall of the power supply mounting cavity is provided with guide strips and slots, and the outer wall of the corresponding power connection core is provided with guide grooves and buckles.
[0016] Further improvements: The waterproof ring adopts a ring-shaped structure with reinforcing sealing ribs on the ring wall to enhance waterproof sealing.
[0017] Further improvement: The dual-position waterproof cover has a fixing hole on the fixing part, and correspondingly, the main body of the outer shell has a fixing hole, and the fixing part and the outer shell are fixed to each other by screws.
[0018] Finally: The tail of the mounting cavity has a positioning groove, the shape and size of which match the mounting ring to achieve a sealed fixation.
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this product are: the waterproof ring and waterproof gasket ensure that water will not enter at the front and rear ends between the outer shell and the core, and the double waterproof cap allows users to freely choose to seal against dust and water when not in use. The structure is simple, easy to install, and low in cost. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 6A network power connector includes a housing 1, with two mounting cavities 2 inside the housing 1. A through insertion hole 3 and a connection hole 4 are provided along the axial direction of each mounting cavity 2. Two connecting components 5 are a network connection core 6 and a power connection core 7, respectively. The connecting components 5 are divided into a front section 8 and a rear section 9, which are installed and fixed in the mounting cavities 2. The key features of this invention are: a waterproof groove 10 is arranged annularly at the front end of the mounting cavity 2, and a waterproof ring 11 is fixed inside the waterproof groove 10; a limiting platform 12 is annularly arranged in the middle of the mounting cavity 2, with a through hole 13 in the middle for the front section 8 to pass through; a mounting ring 14 is fixed between the front section 8 and the rear section 9; a waterproof gasket 15 is fitted between the front end of the mounting ring 14 and the limiting platform 12; and a fixing part 17 of a double-position waterproof cover 16 is fixed to the housing 1, with two waterproof caps 18 connected to the fixing part 17, the waterproof caps 18 detachably covering the insertion hole 3.
[0031] The two mounting cavities 2 are a network mounting cavity 19 and a power mounting cavity 20 arranged side by side. The inner wall of the power mounting cavity 20 is provided with a guide strip 21 and a slot 22, while the outer wall of the corresponding power connector core 7 is provided with a guide groove 23 and a buckle 24. The guide strip 21 and guide groove 23 guide the power connector core 7 when it is inserted into the power mounting cavity 20, while the buckle 24 and slot 22 provide a fixing function. A waterproof ring 11 is fixed in the waterproof groove 10 inside the mounting cavity 2. The waterproof ring 11 adopts a ring-like structure, and a reinforcing sealing rib 25 is provided on the ring wall to enhance waterproof sealing.
[0032] The fixing part 17 of the double-position waterproof cover 16 is provided with fixing holes 26. Correspondingly, the main body of the outer shell 1 is provided with fixing holes 26. The fixing part 17 and the outer shell 1 are fixed to each other by screws. Two waterproof caps 18 are connected to the fixing part 17. The waterproof caps 18 can be selected by the user to cover the insertion hole 3 when not in use, and when one connecting component 5 is used, the waterproof cap 18 covers the other insertion hole 3 to prevent dust and water from contaminating the insertion hole 3. The rear of the mounting cavity 2 has a positioning groove 27, the shape and size of which match the mounting ring part 14 to achieve a sealed fixation.
[0033] When users need to assemble and use this product, they need to insert the network connection core 6 and the power connection core 7 into the network mounting cavity 19 and the power mounting cavity 20 respectively through the connection hole 4, and insert the mounting ring 14 into the positioning groove 27 to achieve full insertion. The limiting platform 12 and the mounting ring 14 form a limit to prevent the front part 8 of the connection component 2 from protruding from the outer shell 1. The waterproof cap 18 is then covered to cover the insertion hole 3 to complete the installation. When users need to use the product, they only need to pull the waterproof cap 18 out of the insertion hole 3.
