Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plug-in device technology, and in particular to a sealed electric water-sealed plug-in device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing plug-in devices generally suffer from the following technical bottlenecks when used in humid, underwater, or high-pressure environments:

[0003] 1. Traditional sealing structures often rely on a single rubber ring or threaded connection, which is prone to leakage due to aging and corrosion after long-term use. For example, conventional water-sealed connectors use metal threads in conjunction with rubber rings, which are susceptible to corrosion and jamming in humid environments. Furthermore, the linear seal provided by the sealing ring alone is insufficient to cope with pressure fluctuations under dynamic operating conditions. In addition, in high-pressure scenarios such as engine blocks, the sealing rings of traditional terminals are easily corroded by engine oil and affected by mechanical vibration, leading to seal failure.

[0004] 2. Existing anti-misinsertion structures mostly use mechanical keyways or protrusions, which are prone to wear after frequent insertion and removal, and cannot achieve automatic alignment during the insertion process. For example, although some smart sockets improve the anti-misinsertion capability through electromagnetic adsorption, they do not integrate a guiding structure, resulting in insufficient insertion accuracy.

[0005] 3. The contact interface between conductive terminals and slots is susceptible to oxidation and wear, leading to increased contact resistance. For example, after frequent insertion and removal, the gold plating on PCB gold fingers can wear down, causing the contact resistance to rise rapidly from below 10mΩ to above 50mΩ, severely affecting signal transmission quality.

[0006] 4. Traditional threaded connections or snap-fit ​​fasteners are prone to loosening in vibrating environments, requiring additional auxiliary fixing devices. For example, although pre-applied adhesive sealing bolts combine thread-locking adhesive and metal washers, the unoptimized washer angle design limits the sealing reliability. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a sealed current water-sealed plug-in device.

[0008] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] A water-sealed plug-in device includes a plug assembly, a socket assembly, and a sealing assembly. The plug assembly includes conductive terminals and an insulating shell covering its outer periphery. The socket assembly includes a conductive slot that mates with the conductive terminals and a fixed shell. The sealing assembly is disposed at the plug-in interface of the plug assembly and the socket assembly to form a double-sealed structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing assembly includes a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring. The first sealing ring is embedded in the annular groove of the insulating housing, and the second sealing ring is disposed on the sealing protrusion of the fixed housing. When the plug assembly is inserted into the socket assembly, the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring form a stepped sealing fit.

[0011] Furthermore, the first sealing ring is made of silicone material with a wavy cross-section, and the second sealing ring is an O-ring made of fluororubber. The combination of the two achieves an IP68 protection rating.

[0012] Furthermore, the conductive terminal includes a contact section, a multi-stage hoist sealing section, and a riveting section. The multi-stage hoist sealing section is composed of continuous peaks and troughs. The peaks are interference-fitted with the inner wall of the insulating shell, and the troughs form a liquid storage cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, the insertion end of the insulating shell is provided with a guide key, and the corresponding position of the fixed shell is provided with a guide groove. The guide key and the guide groove form an anti-misinsertion structure, and a magnetic post is embedded inside the guide key. A magnetic block that attracts and cooperates with the magnetic post is provided at the bottom of the guide groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner wall of the conductive slot is provided with an elastic contact piece, which forms a surface contact with the contact segment of the conductive terminal, and the surface of the elastic contact piece is plated with a gold layer, with a contact resistance of less than 5mΩ.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the fixed housing is provided with a threaded connection part, and the corresponding position of the insulating housing is provided with an external thread. The two are axially pre-tightened through threaded engagement, and the threaded connection is filled with waterproof sealant.

[0016] Furthermore, the thread pitch between the threaded connection and the external thread is 1.5 mm, and the mating length is not less than 10 mm, forming a composite sealing structure of mechanical locking and adhesive sealing.

[0017] Furthermore, the conductive terminal and the insulating shell are integrated using injection molding, and the conductive slot is connected to the fixed shell through insert injection molding, achieving an overall waterproof rating of IP68.

[0018] Furthermore, the plug assembly also includes a wire harness fixing member disposed at the tail of the insulating housing. The wire harness fixing member has an elastic clip inside, and the elastic clip is interference-fitted with the outer sheath of the wire harness to form a stress relief structure.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. The stepped combination of silicone corrugated first sealing ring and fluororubber O-ring second sealing ring forms a double physical barrier. Combined with the composite structure of thread pre-tightening and waterproof sealant, the overall protection level reaches IP68, which can be used in deep water for a long time. The multi-stage hoist sealing section of the conductive terminal is interference-fitted with the insulating shell through the crest and the trough to form a liquid storage cavity, which effectively blocks the liquid from penetrating along the terminal axis.

[0021] 2. The mechanical guidance of the guide key and guide groove, combined with the adsorption positioning of the magnetic pillar and magnetic block, ensures that the insertion accuracy error is less than 0.1mm, while providing an axial adsorption force of more than 5N to prevent accidental loosening; the surface contact design of the elastic contact piece and the contact section, combined with the surface gold plating layer (thickness ≥1μm), ensures that the contact resistance is stable below 5mΩ, and maintains excellent conductivity even after multiple insertions and removals.

[0022] 3. The elastic clips of the wire harness fastener release the stress of the wire harness through an interference fit, and can withstand axial tensile force without damaging the sealing structure.

[0023] 4. The injection molding process that integrates conductive terminals and insulating housing eliminates gap defects in traditional press-fitting processes, improving the overall waterproof rating to IP68. The combination of silicone and fluororubber materials can maintain elasticity within a temperature range of -40℃ to 150℃. The oil resistance of the fluororubber sealing ring is significantly improved compared to traditional nitrile rubber, making it suitable for harsh environments such as engine compartments.

[0024] 5. The modular design allows for the individual replacement of sealing components or conductive terminals, reducing maintenance costs. The magnetic adsorption structure provides auxiliary guiding force during disassembly, allowing for separation with one hand, thus improving disassembly and assembly efficiency compared to traditional threaded connections.

[0025] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
