Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable harness technology, specifically a waterproof connecting cable. Background Technology
[0002] Wire harnesses or cables are mainly used for control installation, equipment connection, power transmission, and signal transmission, serving multiple functions and are a common and indispensable item in daily life. A wire harness or cable mainly consists of wire cores arranged from the inside out, a metal shielding layer surrounding the wire cores, and an insulating outer layer surrounding the metal shielding layer. The wire cores are used to transmit power or signals. The metal shielding layer is mainly used to prevent the electromagnetic field generated by the current transmitted by the wire cores from interfering with other components in the circuit, or to shield the electromagnetic field generated by other external components from affecting the current transmitted by the wire cores. The main function of the insulating outer layer is to isolate the live parts of the wire harness or cable from the outside, and also to protect the wire harness or cable from external damage.
[0003] However, some existing wire harnesses or cables are often placed in humid environments or are accidentally soaked by water during use. Since the insulation sheath is mostly made of polyvinyl chloride, it is easy to absorb water and get damp, and its waterproof performance is poor. Moisture can easily seep into the wire core from the insulation sheath or cable interface. In severe cases, when the insulation sheath or metal shielding layer is damaged by external force, moisture can easily seep into the wire core from the outer layer of the cable, causing problems such as short circuits, unstable transmission, and reduced cable life. This may even lead to major disasters such as electric shock and fire. Utility Model Content

[0019] 3. The outer peripheral wall of the second plug has a protrusion along its length, and the end of the second plug has a stepped structure to facilitate positioning when the second plug is engaged with other components.
[0020] 4. The outer wall of the first sheath is provided with a first pointing arrow, the end of which points to the slot on the first positioning ring, so as to improve the connection accuracy of the first plug with other components and improve work efficiency.
[0021] 5. The outer insulation layer is covered with a flame-retardant protective layer, which is a graphene-modified polyurethane coating. This coating enhances flame retardancy and effectively prevents circuit fires caused by wiring problems or external factors, greatly improving the safety of the wires.

[0028] 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.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-4A waterproof connector includes a conductor 1, one end of which is connected to a first connector 2, and the other end to a second connector 3. The first connector 2 includes a first sheath 21 and a first plug 22 sequentially connected to one end of the conductor 1. The second connector 3 includes a second sheath 31 and a second plug 32 sequentially connected to the end of the conductor 1 away from the first sheath 21. The conductor 1 includes a core 11, an inner insulation layer 12, and an outer insulation layer 13. The inner insulation layer 12 covers the core 11, and the outer insulation layer 13 is sleeved on the inner insulation layer 12. A water-resistant yarn layer 14 is filled between the inner insulation layer 12 and the outer insulation layer 13. In this embodiment, there are two cores 11 in the outer insulation layer 13, each covered by the inner insulation layer 12. Alternatively, the number of cores 11 can be one or more.
[0030] Both the inner insulation layer 12 and the outer insulation layer 13 have certain water resistance and corrosion resistance, which isolates the wire core 11 from moisture. The water-blocking yarn layer 14, as a filler, has both water-blocking and structural support functions. The water-blocking yarn layer 14 expands rapidly when it comes into contact with water to form a water-blocking barrier, which is used to prevent water from penetrating longitudinally along the conductor 1, protecting the internal components, improving the mechanical and waterproof performance of the conductor 1, reducing water erosion, and extending the service life of the conductor 1.
[0031] Several synthetic paper waterproof labels 4 are connected to the outer wall of the conductor 1. The synthetic paper waterproof labels 4 are printed with words to indicate the product manufacturing information and functions.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-2 The first plug 22 is a male plug, and its outer peripheral wall is provided with circumferentially distributed first positioning rings 23 and second positioning rings 24 at intervals along its length. These rings facilitate positioning of the first plug 22 when it is inserted into other components, improving connection accuracy and also acting as a stop to prevent over-insertion. In this embodiment, the first positioning ring 23 has a slot 231 for mounting with other components, also serving a positioning function.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 The second plug 32 is a female plug, and its outer peripheral wall is provided with a protrusion 33 along its length. The end of the second plug 32 is provided with a stepped structure 34 so that the second plug 32 can be positioned when it is in conjunction with other components.
[0034] Please see Figure 2 The outer wall of the first sheath 21 has a first directional arrow 211, the end of which points to the slot 231 on the first positioning ring 23. This improves the accuracy of the connection between the first plug 22 and other components, thereby increasing work efficiency. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3The outer wall of the second sheath 31 is provided with a second pointing arrow 311, the end of which points to a protrusion 33. In this embodiment, the first pointing arrow 211 is concave or convex relative to the outer peripheral wall of the first plug 22, and the second pointing arrow 311 is concave or convex relative to the outer peripheral wall of the second plug 32.
[0035] Please see Figure 4 The water-blocking yarn layer 14 is made of absorbent fibers (such as nylon or polyester) or superabsorbent polymers (SAP), and the outer insulation layer 13 is covered with a flame-retardant protective layer 15. In this embodiment, the inner insulation layer 12 is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and the outer insulation layer 13 is made of PE (polyethylene).
[0036] The flame-retardant protective layer 15 is a graphene-modified polyurethane coating. Graphene enhances flame retardancy, effectively preventing circuit fires caused by wiring problems or external factors, and greatly improving the safety of the wire. Furthermore, the flame-retardant protective layer 15 effectively inhibits water from seeping into and penetrating the outer insulation layer 13, providing physical waterproofing and corrosion protection, thus creating the first barrier for waterproofing the wire. When the flame-retardant protective layer 15 and the outer insulation layer 13 are damaged, the water-blocking yarn layer 14 acts as the second barrier, forming a water-blocking barrier. The inner insulation layer 12 acts as the third barrier, effectively protecting the core 11 from moisture erosion, thereby increasing the service life of the conductor 1.
[0037] Please see Figure 5 When storing or keeping wire 1, first wind wire 1 into a loop, then use several cable ties 5 to tie and secure the coiled wire 1 to prevent it from becoming tangled. Finally, seal the entire waterproof connection line with a transparent PE self-sealing bag 6 to prevent it from coming into contact with moisture or other corrosive substances.
[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.
