Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a flexible metal connector. Background Technology

[0002] Metal connectors are connection devices between electrical components, primarily used to transmit electrical signals or conduct electricity. Existing metal connectors are assembled from multiple components, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the adhesion between the metal and silicone is poor, easily leading to separation and seal failure, thus compromising the quality of the metal connector. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible metal connector with an integrated structure that is easy to assemble. The mounting groove can effectively restrict the sealing sleeve, resulting in good sealing performance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a flexible metal connector, comprising a connector body, a sealing sleeve and a protective sleeve, one end of the connector body being a cylindrical connecting part, the other end of the connector body being an open-structure wrapping part, an installation groove being provided in the middle of the connector body, the sealing sleeve being wrapped around the installation groove, and the protective sleeve being fitted on the outside of the connecting part and the sealing sleeve.

[0005] Optionally, the outer side of the sealing sleeve is provided with a threaded structure.

[0006] Optionally, the inside of the sealing sleeve is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0007] Optionally, the sealing sleeve may be made of silicone.

[0008] Optionally, outwardly opening elastic tabs are evenly distributed on the connecting part, and the elastic tabs fit against the inside of the protective sleeve.

[0009] The flexible metal connector of this invention has the following advantages:

[0010] (1) The connector body is an integrally molded structure, which eliminates the assembly operation and improves production efficiency. The sealing sleeve is wrapped in the mounting groove, which can restrict the position of the sealing sleeve, prevent the sealing sleeve from sliding on the connection part, and improve the stability of the seal.

[0011] (2) The threaded structure on the outside of the sealing sleeve, combined with the silicone material, enables the protective sleeve to provide better protection.

[0012] (3) The elastic sheet can support the protective sleeve and improve its stability. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the present invention.

[0014] Figure 2 This is a side view of the present invention.

[0015] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the connector body. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a flexible metal connector includes a connector body 1, which is a metal structure. One end of the connector body 1 is a cylindrical connecting portion 2, and the other end is an open-structure wrapping portion 3. Two sets of covering plates 4 are provided on the wrapping portion 3. A mounting groove 5 is provided in the middle of the connector body 1, and a sealing sleeve 6 is wrapped on the mounting groove 5. The sealing sleeve 6 is made of elastic material, and in this embodiment, silicone is used. The outer side of the sealing sleeve 6 is provided with a threaded structure, and the inside of the sealing sleeve 6 is provided with anti-slip texture 7. Elastic sheets 8 that open outward are evenly provided on the outer periphery of the connecting portion 2. A protective sleeve 9 is fitted on the outer side of the connecting portion 2 and the sealing sleeve 6, and the elastic sheets 8 and the sealing sleeve 6 fit snugly against the inside of the protective sleeve 9.

[0018] In use, the connecting wire is inserted into the connecting part 2 through the wrapping part 3, and then the two sets of covering plates 4 are pressed together to fix the connecting wire. The anti-slip texture 7 inside the sealing sleeve 6 can prevent the connecting wire from moving and rotating, improving the stability of the connecting wire. The protective sleeve 9 can protect and seal the connector body 1. The elastic sheet 8 and the sealing sleeve 6 provide sufficient support for the protective sleeve 9 to ensure the stability of the connector structure. Even if the protective sleeve 9 is subjected to external pressure, it will not damage the connector body 1. The connector body 1 is a one-piece molded structure, which eliminates the assembly operation and improves production efficiency. The sealing sleeve 6 has a stable structure and a stable and reliable seal.

[0019] The embodiments described above are merely some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
