A protection mechanism for an electrical connector

Abstract

This utility model discloses a protection mechanism for electrical connectors, relating to the field of electrical connector technology. The utility model includes a female end shell, a male end shell, and a miniature fan. Mutually mating connecting ends are fixed inside the female and male end shells respectively. A flange seat is connected to the tail end of the female end shell, and an air cavity is provided at the front end of the female end shell. The air cavity divides the front end of the female end shell into an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve. The inner sleeve is a stepped sleeve with its small-diameter section facing outwards, and an end seal is provided at the step of the inner sleeve. Through the novel design of the female and male end shells, this utility model achieves a seal between the inner sleeve on the female end shell and the plug-in end on the male end shell.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical connector technology, and in particular relates to a protection mechanism for electrical connectors. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connectors are used extensively in PSM rolling mills. Due to the high moisture content and the large amount of particulate impurities that fall from the steel bars, the relatively harsh environment often causes water and impurities to splash into the connectors, leading to internal short circuits, copper patina reaction and severe corrosion of the connector pins, which affects normal production.

[0003] Therefore, designing electrical connectors with better protection and longer lifespan is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protective mechanism for electrical connectors. Through the design of the novel female end shell and male end shell, the inner sleeve on the female end shell and the plug end on the male end shell can achieve a seal between them. Through the design of the air cavity between the outer sleeve and the plug end, an exhaust channel can be formed. Through the continuous ventilation by the micro fan, a certain air seal is provided from the inside to the outside, preventing water vapor and particles from flowing in, improving the sealing effect of the connector, increasing its service life and stable connection.

[0017] 1. This utility model, through the design of a novel female end shell and male end shell, achieves a seal between the inner sleeve on the female end shell and the plug-in end on the male end shell by fitting together. Through the design of the air cavity between the outer sleeve and the plug-in end, an exhaust channel can be formed, and continuous ventilation can be achieved through a micro fan, thereby providing a certain air seal from the inside out, preventing water vapor and particles from flowing in, improving the sealing effect of the connector, increasing its service life and ensuring a stable connection.

[0018] 2. This utility model, through the design of the reduced diameter section on the outer casing, can form a small-diameter passage at the outer end of the air cavity, which can create a certain degree of pressure and improve the air sealing effect.

[0019] 3. By designing pre-drilled openings on the flange seat and back plate, this utility model can place the air inlet and wiring terminals of the miniature fan inside the connector, avoiding contamination caused by external connections and ensuring its performance.
