Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a sealing structure for modular high-speed connectors. Background Technology

[0002] Modular high-speed connectors play a vital role in equipment used in the telecommunications and data communications industries. For example, in equipment such as base stations, switches, and routers, connectors are used to connect various modules or boards, ensuring high-speed data transmission between modules. The modular design allows the equipment to flexibly adjust the number and type of ports according to different needs, supporting high-speed signal transmission and ensuring data transmission stability and low latency.

[0003] However, some existing high-speed connectors for modular assembly typically connect two lines directly to enable data transmission between modules. However, they do not consider that in dusty or sandy environments (such as mines or construction sites), dust particles can penetrate the connector's interior after prolonged use, leading to wear on the contact interface and increasing the risk of signal transmission interruption, thereby reducing the device's lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, a sealing structure for modular high-speed connectors is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a sealing structure for modular high-speed connectors, aiming to improve the problem that modular connectors in the prior art lack a sealing structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A sealing structure for a modular high-speed connector includes a first connecting tube and a second connecting tube. The first connecting tube has raised textures on its exterior. The second connecting tube has a connecting assembly for connecting the first connecting tube and the second connecting tube inside. The first connecting tube has a cavity inside, and multiple dampers are fixedly connected inside the cavity. Each damper is fitted with a spring on its exterior, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the exterior of each damper.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The connecting component includes a groove, which is formed inside the connecting tube 2, and the outside of the raised texture contacts the inside of the groove;

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outside of the sealing ring;

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] One side of the sealing ring contacts the outside of the first connecting pipe, and the other side of the sealing ring contacts the inside of the second connecting pipe;

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] Both the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe are made of stainless steel, and the sealing ring is made of rubber.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The outside of the first connecting pipe is in contact with the inside of the second connecting pipe, and both the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe have through holes.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. In this utility model, the sealing ring can achieve sealing of the inside of the connecting pipe by contacting the inner wall of the connecting pipe. When the sealing ring contacts the inner wall of the connecting pipe, the inner wall of the connecting pipe will press the sealing ring, which will press the damper and spring. Under the reset force of the damper and spring, the sealing ring will fit more tightly with the inner wall of the connecting pipe, thereby improving the sealing effect of the sealing ring.

[0020] 2. In this utility model, the raised texture and groove design make it easy to install the connecting pipe one and the connecting pipe two. The operator can complete the assembly by rotating the pipe without the need for additional tools, which significantly reduces the manual alignment time and operational complexity. It is especially suitable for densely arranged pipe systems, such as industrial equipment or automotive wiring harness connection scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a sealing structure for a modular high-speed connector, comprising a connecting tube 1 and a connecting tube 2. Connecting tube 1 serves as the male end body of the high-speed connector, providing a mounting base for the external raised texture 3 and forming an internal cavity 5 to accommodate the sealing assembly. Connecting tube 2 serves as the female end body, with an internal groove 4 that engages with the raised texture 3 of connecting tube 1 to achieve quick insertion and positioning, and provides a sealing contact surface for the sealing ring 8.

[0029] Both connecting pipe 1 and connecting pipe 2 are made of stainless steel, which makes the device less prone to rust and thus extends its service life. The sealing ring 8 is made of rubber, which allows it to fit tightly against the inside of connecting pipe 2, improving the sealing performance. The outside of connecting pipe 1 and the inside of connecting pipe 2 are in contact, making it easy to connect them. Both connecting pipe 1 and connecting pipe 2 have through holes inside, allowing the wiring to be connected through the inside of connecting pipe 1 and connecting pipe 2.

[0030] The outer surface of connecting tube 1 has raised grooves 3, and the inner surface of connecting tube 2 has a connecting assembly for connecting connecting tube 1 and connecting tube 2. The raised grooves 3 are distributed circumferentially along the outer surface of connecting tube 1, forming a mechanical interlocking structure with the grooves 4 of connecting tube 2, guiding connecting tube 1 to be precisely inserted into connecting tube 2. The grooves 4 are formed on the inner wall of connecting tube 2, matching the raised grooves 3, and through linear guidance and error-proof design, ensure that connecting tube 1 is only connected in the correct position.

[0031] The connecting pipe 1 has an internal cavity 5, inside which multiple dampers 6 are fixedly connected. Each damper 6 is fitted with a spring 7. The cavity 5, located inside the connecting pipe 1, provides installation space for the dampers 6 and springs 7, while limiting the axial movement range of the sealing ring 8. The dampers 6 are fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 5, absorbing the impact force during connection through their own elastic deformation, and working in conjunction with the springs 7 to provide continuous radial clamping force to the sealing ring 8. The springs 7 are fitted onto the outside of the dampers 6, with one end fixed to the cavity 5 and the other end connected to the sealing ring 8. Through elastic restoring force, they push the sealing ring 8 to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 2.

[0032] A sealing ring 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the damper 6. One end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 5, and the other end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sealing ring 8. One side of the sealing ring 8 contacts the outside of the connecting pipe 1, and the other side of the sealing ring 8 contacts the inside of the connecting pipe 2. As the core sealing element, the sealing ring 8 forms an initial seal by contacting the outer surface of the connecting pipe 1 on one side, and the other side is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 2 under the action of the spring 7 and the damper 6, preventing fluid or dust from entering.

[0033] Working Principle: First, the operator holds the male end of the connecting tube 1 and aligns the raised grooves 3 on its outer surface with the grooves 4 on the inner wall of the female end of the connecting tube 2. The raised grooves 3 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the connecting tube 1, forming a linear guide structure that mechanically interlocks with the guide groove of the groove 4. At this time, the connecting tube 1 enters the pre-insertion position of the connecting tube 2 through the guidance of the raised grooves 3, achieving initial alignment without repeated manual angle adjustments. Then, the connecting tube 1 is rotated to move it into the connecting tube 2. When the sealing ring 8 first contacts the inner wall of the connecting tube 2, the elastomeric material (such as silicone rubber) of the sealing ring 8 undergoes initial compression deformation, forming the first physical sealing barrier between the outer surface of the connecting tube 1 and the inner wall of the connecting tube 2. At this time, one side of the sealing ring 8 remains in contact with the outer surface of the connecting tube 1, ensuring that the sealing components inside the cavity 5 are isolated from the outside. As the connecting tube 1 continues to be inserted, the squeezing force of the inner wall of the connecting tube 2 on the sealing ring 8 is transmitted through the sealing ring 8 to the damper 6 and the spring 7. The damper 6 uses an elastic metal bellows, which undergoes axial compression deformation under pressure to absorb the mechanical impact during insertion. Simultaneously, a spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the damper 6, one end fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 5, and the other end rigidly connected to the sealing ring 8. When the sealing ring 8 is compressed, it stores elastic potential energy. When the connecting tube 1 reaches the predetermined insertion depth, the elastic potential energy of the spring 7 is released, pushing the sealing ring 8 back towards the inner wall of the connecting tube 2. At this time, under the combined action of the radial thrust of the spring 7 and the axial support force of the damper 6, the sealing ring 8 forms a continuous clamping force with the inner wall of the connecting tube 2. This clamping force further fills the microscopic unevenness of the connection interface with the elastic material of the sealing ring 8, eliminating any possible gaps, thereby upgrading the static seal to a dynamic compensation seal.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
