[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-4 The waterproof horizontal connector shown includes a connecting base 1, which serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the connector, providing installation support for various components. Connecting terminals 2 are provided on the outer side of the connecting base 1, used for electrical connection to ensure stable signal or current transmission. An epoxy resin sealing ring 12 and an insulating gasket 8 are sequentially arranged at the connection point between the connecting base 1 and the connecting terminals 2. The epoxy resin sealing ring 12 effectively fills gaps, preventing moisture from seeping into the connection area, thus providing a waterproof seal. The insulating gasket 8 isolates current, avoiding leakage risks and enhancing the connector's insulation performance. A housing 3 is provided on the outer side of the connecting base 1, protecting the internal components from external damage. To prevent mechanical damage, a sealing and waterproofing component is provided on the outer side of the housing 3. The sealing and waterproofing component includes a waterproof spacer 9 on the outer side of the housing 3. The waterproof spacer 9 further prevents moisture from entering the connector and improves the overall waterproofing capability. A groove 14 is formed on the outer side of the waterproof spacer 9. An annular silicone pad 10 is placed in the groove 14. The annular silicone pad 10 has good flexibility and sealing performance. After filling the groove 14, it can form a tight waterproof barrier between the housing 3 and the external environment. An O-ring 11 is provided on the outer side of the waterproof spacer 9. The O-ring 11 fills the gap through its own elastic deformation, further enhancing the sealing effect on the outer side of the waterproof spacer 9 and ensuring that the connector can maintain good waterproof performance even in complex environments.

[0023] Example 2: Reference Figure 1-4Based on the same concept as in Embodiment 1 above, this embodiment further proposes that a pair of limiting blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting base 1. The limiting blocks 4 are cylindrical and can restrict the circumferential rotation of the cover 5 on the outer side of the connecting base 1, ensuring that the cover 5 maintains a fixed position after installation and guaranteeing the stability of the overall structure of the equipment. The outer side of the connecting base 1 is provided with a cover 5, and the outer side of the cover 5 is provided with a slot 6 that matches the limiting blocks 4. The slot 6 cooperates with the limiting blocks 4 to facilitate quick positioning and installation of the cover 5, while preventing the cover 5 from moving axially along the connecting base 1, thus achieving a reliable mechanical connection between the cover 5 and the connecting base 1. Both sides of the cover 5 are provided with elastic steel sheets 7, and the outer side of the connecting base 1 is provided with a limiting groove 13 that matches the elastic steel sheets 7. The elastic steel sheets 7 undergo elastic deformation during installation and embed into the limiting groove 13. After step 3, additional fixing force is provided to the housing 5, further enhancing the stability of the connection between the housing 5 and the connecting base 1 and preventing the housing 5 from loosening; the elastic steel sheet 7 is made of phosphor bronze, and the insulating gasket 8 is made of boron nitride ceramic. The elastic steel sheet 7 made of phosphor bronze has good elasticity and fatigue resistance, ensuring that it is not prone to failure after long-term use; the insulating gasket 8 made of boron nitride ceramic can effectively isolate the current conduction between circuits, prevent short circuits, and improve the electrical insulation performance of the equipment; the insulating gasket 8 and the epoxy resin sealing ring 12 are both attached to the inner wall of the housing 3. The insulating gasket 8 plays an electrical insulation protection role, avoiding the risk of leakage caused by the housing 3 contacting the internal live parts; the epoxy resin sealing ring 12 can effectively prevent external moisture, dust and other impurities from entering the equipment, protecting the internal parts from corrosion and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The elastic steel sheet 7 is pried open, and the cover 5 is dragged over the outer side of the outer shell 3 and the connecting base 1, causing the limiting block 4 to engage in the slot 6. The elastic steel sheet 7 is then released, restoring its shape and engaging with the connecting base 1. The combination of the insulating washer 8 and the epoxy resin sealing ring 12 enhances the waterproof effect between the connecting terminal 2 and the connecting base 1. The combination of the waterproof spacer 9, the annular silicone pad 10, and the O-ring seal 11 enhances the sealing effect when the female connector is connected to the male connector.

[0025] 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.
