[0027] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a high-life waterproof cable 10, which includes: a cable body 100, a plug 200, and a connector 300. The plug 200 and the connector 300 are respectively disposed at both ends of the cable body 100.

[0028] The connector 200 includes a connector 210 and conductive pins 220. The connector 210 is connected to one end of the cable body 100. In this embodiment, the conductive pins 220 are cylindrical. The conductive pins 220 pass through the connector 210 and are electrically connected to the wire core inside the cable body 100. In this embodiment, the connector 210 is cylindrical. A plurality of insertion tabs 211 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the connector 210. In this embodiment, each insertion tab 211 is integrally formed with the connector 210 to increase the structural strength and stability of the connector 210.

[0029] The connector 300 includes a conductive socket 310, a soft conical locking sleeve 320, and a drive mechanism 330. In this embodiment, the conductive socket 310 has a cylindrical structure. In another embodiment, the conductive socket 310 has a quadrangular prism structure. The conductive socket 310 is electrically connected to the wire core inside the cable body 100, and an insertion slot 301 is provided on the conductive socket 310. The tip of the soft conical locking sleeve 320 is connected to the end of the cable body 100 away from the connector 200. In this embodiment, the soft conical locking sleeve 320 is a soft silicone sleeve. In another embodiment, the soft conical locking sleeve 320 is a soft rubber sleeve. An insertion hole 302 is provided inside the soft conical locking sleeve 320, and the conductive socket 310 is received in the insertion hole 302. A soft, tapered locking sleeve 320 has several evenly spaced insertion slots 303 around the insertion hole 302, each slot communicating with the insertion hole 302. The driving mechanism 330 includes an internally threaded tube 331, an externally threaded tube 332, and a compression ring 333. The internally threaded tube 331 is fitted to the cable body 100, sleeved on the end of the cable body 100 furthest from the insertion head 200, and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cable body 100. The externally threaded tube 332 is fitted to the internally threaded tube 331, sleeved on the internally threaded tube 331, and screwed onto it. The compression ring 333 is fitted to the cable body 100, sleeved on the end of the cable body 100 furthest from the insertion head 200, and slidably connected to the outer wall of the cable body 100. The externally threaded tube 332 abuts against the compression ring 333. The compression ring 333 can abut against the soft conical locking sleeve 320. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the externally threaded tube 332 is provided with anti-slip texture to increase the anti-slip performance of the outer wall of the externally threaded tube 332, thereby increasing the friction between the outer wall of the externally threaded tube 332 and the hand.

[0030] The conductive plug 220 is adapted to the insertion slot 301, and can be inserted into the insertion slot 301 and connected to the conductive connector 310. The connector 210 is adapted to the insertion hole 302, and can be inserted into the insertion hole 302 and connected to the soft conical locking sleeve 320. In this embodiment, the insertion piece 211 is a rectangular plate structure. The insertion piece 211 is adapted to the insertion piece slot 303, and each insertion piece 211 can be inserted into a corresponding insertion piece slot 303 and connected to the soft conical locking sleeve 320. The connector 210 can abut against the conductive connector 310.

[0031] During the assembly, transportation, and storage of the aforementioned high-life waterproof cable 10, the plug 200 of the high-life waterproof cable 10 can be connected to the connector 300 of the high-life waterproof cable 10. Specifically, the conductive plug 220 is inserted into the insertion slot 301 and connected to the conductive connector 310. In this process, the plug 210 is inserted into the insertion hole 302 and connected to the soft conical locking sleeve 320. Each insertion piece 211 can be correspondingly inserted into an insertion piece slot 303 and connected to the soft conical locking sleeve 320. The plug 210 can abut against the conductive connector 310. Rotating the external threaded tube 332 causes it to move along the internal threaded tube 331, thus pushing the compression ring 333. The compression ring 333, fitted onto the soft conical locking sleeve 320, moves during this movement. The soft conical locking sleeve 320 gradually compresses and locks the compression ring 333 and each insert piece 211, creating a seal. In use, the connector 200 of one high-life waterproof cable 10 can be connected to the connector 300 of another high-life waterproof cable 10. The interconnected portions of multiple high-life waterproof cables 10 exhibit high connection stability, good sealing, and excellent waterproof performance.

[0032] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0033] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
