[0007] The inner walls of the left and right walls are respectively provided with a left groove and a right groove for accommodating the connector's hook.
[0008] The upper wall and lower wall are respectively provided with a front notch and a rear notch on the opening side of the protective cover.
[0009] The left and right walls are higher than the upper and lower walls.
[0010] The sleeve is positioned on the central axis of the protective cover, and the left and right partitions are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the sub-partition.
[0011] The cross-section of the sleeve is circular.
[0012] The protective cover also includes a front baffle, and the upper wall, lower wall, left wall and right wall are connected to the four sides of the front baffle to form a square groove; the left partition, middle partition and right partition are disposed in the square groove.
[0013] The second solution of this utility model is:
[0014] A connector assembly includes the protective cover and a connector; the front end face of the connector is provided with a plurality of connecting terminals, and hooks are provided on both sides thereon; the protective cover covers the front end of the connector, and one of its connecting terminals is embedded in the sleeve.
[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0016] This utility model consists of an upper wall, a lower wall, a left wall, and a right wall, forming a protective cover that can enclose the connector end. It can cover the connector terminal, achieving multiple protective functions such as dustproof and oilproof. At the same time, a left partition, a middle partition, and a right partition connect the upper and lower walls, which can ensure the connection strength between the upper and lower walls. Even if the upper / lower walls are subjected to external pressure, the pressure can be blocked from being transmitted to the connector terminal, avoiding damage. Furthermore, the middle partition has a sleeve that matches the connector terminal. When the connector is inserted into the protective cover, the connector terminal in the middle position can be aligned with the insertion sleeve, achieving centering of the connector and the protective cover, and realizing precise insertion.

[0024] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.
[0025] refer to Figures 1-3The first embodiment of the present invention is shown, disclosing a protective cover 1, including an upper wall 11, a lower wall 12, a left wall 13 and a right wall 14, and a left partition 15, a middle partition 16 and a right partition 17 arranged in sequence; the left partition 15 and the right partition 17 are both connected to the upper wall 11 and the lower wall 12 at both ends; the middle partition 16 includes a sleeve 161 and a sub-partition 162 connected between the front and rear outer walls of the sleeve 161 and the upper wall 11 and the lower wall 12, and the shape of the sleeve 161 matches the connection terminal 21 of the connector 2.
[0026] Through the above solution, this utility model consists of an upper wall 11, a lower wall 12, a left wall 13, and a right wall 14, forming a protective cover 1 that can cover the end of the connector 2. This cover can shield the connecting terminal 21 of the connector 2, achieving multiple protective functions such as dustproof and oilproof. At the same time, a left partition 15, a middle partition 16, and a right partition 17 connect the upper wall 11 and the lower wall 12, which can ensure the connection strength between the upper wall 11 and the lower wall 12. Even if the upper wall 11 / lower wall 12 is subjected to external pressure, it can prevent the pressure from being transmitted to the connecting terminal 21, thus avoiding damage. Furthermore, the middle partition 16 has a sleeve 161 that matches the connecting terminal 21. When the connector 2 is inserted into the protective cover 1, the connecting terminal 21 in the middle position can be aligned with the insertion sleeve 161, achieving centering of the connector 2 and the protective cover 1, and realizing precise insertion.
[0027] The following shows a detailed implementation of the first embodiment.
[0028] The inner walls of the left wall 13 and the right wall 14 are respectively provided with a left groove 131 and a right groove 141 for accommodating the hook 22 of the connector 2. The hook 22 is designed to allow the connector 2 to mate with other connectors or other connecting parts and to prevent it from falling off. The grooves of the left wall 13 and the right wall 14 can provide space to facilitate the insertion of the connector 2 into the protective cover 1.
[0029] The upper wall 11 and lower wall 12 are respectively provided with a front notch 111 and a rear notch 121 on the opening side of the protective cover 1. The front notch 111 and the rear notch 121 are both approximately U-shaped notches, so that the left wall 13 and right wall 14 are higher than the upper wall 11 and lower wall 12.
[0030] The aforementioned sleeve 161 is positioned on the central axis of the protective cover 1, and the left partition 15 and the right partition 17 are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the sub-partition 162.
[0031] The cross-section of the aforementioned sleeve 161 is annular.
[0032] The aforementioned protective cover 1 also includes a front baffle 18, with an upper wall 11, a lower wall 12, a left wall 13, and a right wall 14 connected to the four sides of the front baffle 18 to form a square groove; a left partition 15, a middle partition 16, and a right partition 17 are disposed in the square groove.
