Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of protective housings for electrical connectors, and more particularly to a protective housing for electrical connectors. Background Technology

[0002] In modern electronic devices and electrical systems, electrical connectors, as core components for circuit connection, signal transmission, and power transmission, directly affect the normal operation of the entire system due to their reliability. Protective housings, as an important part of electrical connectors, play a crucial role in isolating external environmental interference and protecting internal electrical components. However, traditional electrical connector protective housings have many shortcomings in practical applications. On the one hand, their sealing performance is insufficient. In harsh environments such as humid, dusty, and high-salt-spray conditions, moisture, dust, and corrosive gases can easily seep into the housing, leading to oxidation and short circuits at the connector's metal contacts, which in turn can cause signal transmission interruptions or power transmission failures. On the other hand, most protective housings use a single material with poor weather resistance. Under high temperature, low temperature, or long-term ultraviolet radiation, the housing material is prone to deformation, embrittlement, and aging, reducing the protective effect and service life.

[0003] Furthermore, existing protective housings generally have shortcomings in heat dissipation design, making it difficult to effectively dissipate the heat generated by the electrical connector during operation. This can easily lead to excessively high internal temperatures, affecting the electrical performance and stability of the connector. Additionally, some protective housings have unreasonable structural designs, making installation and disassembly inconvenient, and lacking versatility, failing to adapt to different specifications and models of electrical connectors. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a protective housing for electrical connectors to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a protective housing for electrical connectors.

[0005] The protective housing for electrical connectors provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A protective housing for an electrical connector includes two protective base plates. A limiting plate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the protective base plates, and a rubber pad is fixedly installed between the two protective base plates. A support leg is fixedly installed on the lower end of the protective base plates, and three fixing plates are fixedly installed on one side of one of the protective base plates. A rectangular groove is formed on one side of the fixing plate, and a spring is fixedly installed inside the rectangular groove.

[0007] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly installed at one end of the spring, and one end of the support plate is fixedly connected to one side of another protective base plate.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the limiting plate is provided with a T-shaped groove, and a sleeve column is provided above the T-shaped groove.

[0009] Preferably, a second spring is fixedly installed inside the sleeve column, and an arc-shaped connecting rod is fixedly installed at the upper end of the second spring.

[0010] Preferably, an L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the outside of the arc-shaped connecting rod, and a telescopic sleeve rod is fixedly installed between the two arc-shaped connecting rods.

[0011] Preferably, a T-shaped block is fixedly installed at the lower end of the sleeve column, and the T-shaped block slides and matches the T-shaped groove.

[0012] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: By setting the protective base plate, the electrical connector to be protected is first placed on the protective base plate. At this time, after the spring is stretched, the two protective base plates clamp and limit the two sides of the electrical connector, thereby completing the positioning. Furthermore, the entire arc-shaped connecting rod is pulled up, so that the entire telescopic sleeve rod is pressed against the top of the electrical connector for limiting. The L-shaped plate abuts against both ends of the electrical connector, completing the all-round protection of the electrical connector. The protection effect is good, and it is easy to pick up the electrical connector. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The implementation principle of a protective housing for an electrical connector in this application embodiment is as follows: the electrical connector to be protected is first placed on the protective base plate 1. At this time, after the spring 9 is stretched, the two protective base plates 1 clamp and limit the two sides of the electrical connector, thereby completing the positioning. The entire arc-shaped connecting rod 11 is pulled up, so that the entire telescopic sleeve 7 is pressed on the top of the electrical connector for limiting. The L-shaped plate 14 abuts against both ends of the electrical connector, completing the all-round protection of the electrical connector. The protection effect is good and it is easy to pick up the electrical connector.
