Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector protection technology, and in particular to a multi-layer waterproof protection device for underwater robot connectors. Background Technology

[0002] Underwater robot connection cables are used for power transmission and signal communication between underwater robot devices. They must withstand the high pressure, humidity, and corrosive environment of underwater environments, and often employ waterproof and sealed structures, such as rubber or polyurethane sheaths, to prevent water infiltration. Internally, they typically contain conductive core wires and a shielding layer to ensure stable power transmission and signal interference resistance. Functionally, they are categorized as power supply cables, data cables, etc., and some even integrate optical fibers to improve transmission speed. In critical fields such as marine exploration and oil extraction, their tensile strength and bending resistance must meet the robot's mobility requirements. With technological advancements, the trend is towards lightweight and high reliability, with composite cables simultaneously providing power and data transmission, adapting to the complex environments of deep-sea operations. Currently, connection cables are protected at the connection point using waterproof tape or similar components during fixing, but this protection is limited and its effectiveness is unstable, failing to provide long-term and effective protection, thus requiring improvement.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a further description of an embodiment of a multi-waterproof protection device for an underwater robot connection cable.

[0047] A multi-layer waterproof protection device for an underwater robot connector cable includes two mounting shells 1 with multiple connection holes 2, a waterproof mechanism disposed within the mounting shells 1 for waterproofing, and a protective mechanism disposed within the mounting shells 1 for protecting the connector cable. The protective mechanism includes multiple first springs 3 disposed within and fixedly connected to the mounting shells 1; multiple second springs 4 disposed within and fixedly connected to the mounting shells 1; and two protective shells disposed on the first springs 3 and the second springs 4 for protecting the connector.

[0048] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the waterproof mechanism includes: a linkage device disposed within the mounting housing 1 for component linkage; and a waterproof device disposed within the mounting housing 1 for waterproofing.

[0049] With this configuration, the first spring 3 and the second spring 4 can protect the connecting wire when the protective component 5 comes into contact with it, thereby preventing the connecting wire from shaking violently and preventing the connecting component from falling off.

[0050] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the linkage device includes: a mounting groove 6, disposed within the mounting housing 1 and fixedly connected to the mounting housing 1; multiple pulleys 7, each disposed within the mounting groove 6 and rotatably connected to the mounting groove 6; and a rotating member 8, disposed on the pulleys 7 and fixedly connected to the pulleys 7.

[0051] refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the linkage device further includes: multiple connecting shafts 9, which are disposed on the pulley 7 and fixedly connected to the pulley 7; and multiple threaded rods 10, which are disposed on the connecting shafts 9 and fixedly connected to the connecting shafts 9.

[0052] refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the waterproof device includes: a connecting part disposed within the mounting housing 1 for connecting components; and a waterproof part disposed on the connecting part for waterproofing.

[0053] refer to Figure 3In a preferred embodiment, the connecting part includes multiple connectors 13, which are disposed on the mounting shell 1 and fixedly connected to it; multiple first threaded holes 14, which are disposed within the mounting shell 1 for adjusting the spacing between the mounting shells 1; and multiple second threaded holes 15, which are disposed within the mounting shell 1 for adjusting the spacing between the mounting shells 1.

[0054] refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the waterproof part includes: a plurality of mounting members 11, which are disposed on the threaded rod 10 and slidably connected to the threaded rod 10; and a plurality of waterproof members 12, which are disposed on the mounting members 11 and fixedly connected to the mounting members 11.

[0055] With this configuration, the connector 13 is externally threaded, and the connector 13 can be fixed by the fixing cover, thereby fixing the connecting line and preventing water from entering the device; the threads between the first threaded hole 14 and the second threaded hole 15 are opposite in direction, and the threaded rod 10 is a bidirectional threaded rod 10, with the threads at both ends able to match the corresponding threaded holes; the mounting part 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 1.

[0056] This device, through its protective mechanism, safeguards the connection points of the connecting wires during operation, ensuring wire stability, preventing detachment, and guaranteeing stable operation of the connectors. Furthermore, its waterproof mechanism secures the connecting wires and prevents water ingress, effectively ensuring a tight seal and protecting the connecting wires.

[0057] Working Principle: When this device is in operation, the connecting wire is placed inside and connected. Then, the rotating part 8 is manually rotated clockwise. When the rotating part 8 rotates, it drives the pulleys 7 to rotate clockwise. The pulleys 7 are connected by a belt, allowing multiple pulleys 7 to rotate synchronously. The pulleys 7 then drive the connecting shaft 9 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the threaded rod 10 to rotate clockwise. As the threaded rod 10 rotates clockwise, the distance between the two mounting shells 1 decreases. Similarly, as the threaded rod 10 rotates counterclockwise, the distance between the two mounting shells 1 increases. When the distance between the two mounting shells 1 decreases, the protective shell and the waterproof component 12 contact the connecting wire and protect it. The protective shell, through the first spring 3 and the second spring 4, prevents the connecting wire from shaking violently afterward, ensuring a stable connection and preventing it from falling off. The waterproof component 12, through close contact with the connecting wire, seals the connecting wire and prevents water from entering the device. Finally, the fixing cover is used to fix the connector 13, further securing and sealing the connecting wire.

[0058] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
