[0020] 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.

[0021] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a waterproof component, mainly addressing the problem that existing boxes made of plastic shells do not provide adequate waterproofing for internal wiring. For example, after connecting wires to the outside, water can easily enter through the gaps in the wire connections, affecting the use of internal components and increasing operating costs. The specific solution includes a housing 1 and a cover 2, both made of plastic. The housing 1 and cover 2 are connected by bolts. Figure 2 As shown, a protrusion for connecting the cover 2 is provided on the inner side of the housing 1, thus eliminating the need for through screw holes and ensuring a tight seal. A protrusion 21 is provided on the side of the cover 2 corresponding to the housing 1.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The housing 1 has waterproof structures 4 on both sides, and output wires 3 are located inside the waterproof structures 4. The waterproof structures 4 can increase the contact sealing between the output wires 3 and the housing 1.

[0023] Specifically, the waterproof structure 4 includes a fixed sleeve 41, a snap-fit ​​sleeve 42, a conical sleeve 45, and a snap-fit ​​sleeve 46. The fixed sleeve 41 is fixedly installed on the housing 1. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 42 has an outward U-shaped groove on its outer side. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 42, the conical sleeve 45, and the snap-fit ​​sleeve 46 are all located inside the fixed sleeve 41. The conical sleeve 45 is made of flexible rubber. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 46 is located on the output wire 3. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 46 and the fixed sleeve 41 are connected by threads. The outer side of the snap-fit ​​sleeve 46 is inserted into the adjacent conical sleeve 45. The snap-fit ​​sleeve 42 has symmetrical connecting rods 44 on its front and rear sides. The fixed sleeve 41 has a guide groove 43 for the movable connection of the connecting rods 44. A gear 48 is located above the output wire 3. The gear 48 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. A rack 47 meshes on both sides of the gear 48. A rack 49 is located between adjacent racks 47. The racks 47 and rack 49 are perpendicular to each other. The output wire 3 is located between adjacent racks 47. Both rack 47 and rack 49 mesh with gear 48. A pressure plate 20 is fixedly installed on the upper end of adjacent rack 47, and a guide rod 201 is provided below the pressure plate 20. A return spring 202 is movably sleeved on the guide rod 201. The return spring 202 is located between the pressure plate 20 and the protrusion 21. When the cover 2 is fixed to the housing 1 with bolts, the protrusion 21 on the cover 2 provides downward pressure to the pressure plate 20, which in turn drives the rack 47 to move downward. Through the meshing of the rack 47 and the gear 48, the gear 48 can rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, through the meshing of the gear 48 and the rack 49, the adjacent racks 49 can move inward simultaneously. Through the connecting rod 44, the snap sleeve 42 provides radial extrusion force from the outside to the inside to the conical sleeve 45, which increases the fitting precision of the snap sleeve 42 and the fixing sleeve 41. At the same time, the deformation and extrusion of the flexible rubber conical sleeve 45 can improve the anti-dislodgement effect of the output wire 3, so that the circuit can output electrical signals stably and ensure the stability of the component.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, a sealing ring 5 is provided between the housing 1 and the cover 2, and a hollow ring 51 is provided above the sealing ring 5. The sealing ring 5 is embedded in the upper end face of the housing 1, and the sealing ring 5 is in movable contact with the cover 2. During the process of fixing the cover 2 to the housing 1, as the bolts are continuously screwed in, the distance between the cover 2 and the housing 1 decreases. The cover 2 can compress the hollow ring 51, and through its own elastic force, it can effectively provide a sealing connection between the housing 1 and the cover 2.

[0025] During installation, the protrusion 21 on the cover 2 provides downward pressure to the pressure plate 20, which in turn drives the rack 47 to move downward. Through the meshing of the rack 47 and the gear 48, the gear 48 rotates counterclockwise. At the same time, through the meshing of the gear 48 and the rack 49, adjacent racks 49 move inward simultaneously. Through the connecting rod 44, the snap-fit ​​sleeve 42 provides radial compression force from the outside to the inside to the conical sleeve 45, improving the sealing of the connection between the output wire 3 and the housing 1. After separating the housing 1 and the cover 2, the rack 49 moves from the inside to the outside through the elastic reset action of the return spring 202, allowing the snap-fit ​​sleeve 42 to disengage from the compression of the conical sleeve 45. In this state, it is convenient to insert the wire.

[0026] 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.
