Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a terminal block, specifically a waterproof and dustproof signal line connector, belonging to the field of terminal block technology. Background Technology

[0002] Signal lines are wires or cables that transmit electrical signals, optical signals, and other information. They are widely used in electronic equipment and communication systems. Classified by transmission type, they include electrical signal lines and optical signal lines. Matching interface specifications are required to ensure stable signal transmission; they are crucial connection carriers for data exchange between devices.

[0003] Signal cable splicing involves connecting two signal cables using interfaces, terminals, or soldering. It is crucial to ensure interface compatibility and good contact, avoiding loose or incorrect connections. During splicing, attention must be paid to shielding to prevent interference. This procedure is commonly used for equipment expansion and line maintenance, and is an important operation for ensuring continuous signal transmission.

[0004] In outdoor surveillance, industrial equipment, and other applications requiring waterproof and dustproof protection, existing connectors typically consist of a housing, connecting copper sleeves, and a base sealing gasket, secured with screws. This results in low installation efficiency, reliance on a single sealing gasket for sealing, and easy entry of water and dust into the joints, leading to poor protection. Therefore, this paper proposes a waterproof and dustproof signal cable connector. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a waterproof and dustproof signal cable connector that enables quick connection of signal cables while effectively improving waterproof and dustproof performance.

The connecting component 2 includes a copper sleeve 201, which has good conductivity. The copper sleeve 201 is snapped into the shell 101, and a connecting hole 202 is provided on the copper sleeve 201.

[0025] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The copper sleeve 201 is threaded with a fastening screw 203, which extends into the connection hole 202. Tightening the fastening screw 203 can fasten the signal line, and then the two signal lines can be connected together through the copper sleeve 201.

[0026] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 It also includes a wire fixing component 3, which includes a movable cylinder 301 and a fixed cylinder 302. The movable cylinder 301 is mounted on the fixed cylinder 302. The fixed cylinder 302 has an external thread 305, and the movable cylinder 301 has an internal thread.

[0027] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The movable cylinder 301 is threadedly connected to the fixed cylinder 302. A nut 304 is fixed on the movable cylinder 301. The nut 304 is provided to facilitate the use of tools to reinforce the movable cylinder 301, making it suitable for environments that do not require frequent maintenance. An anti-slip groove 303 is provided on the outer side of the movable cylinder 301 to facilitate the rotation of the movable cylinder 301.

[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 It also includes a sealing component 4, which is disposed on the fixed component 3. The sealing component 4 includes an annular elastic claw 401, which is fixed on the fixed cylinder 302. The annular elastic claw 401 has elastic deformation capability to form an annular sealing structure. It can adapt to the movement of the pushing ring 402 to enhance the sealing effect.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sealing component 4 also includes a push ring 402, which is fixed inside the movable cylinder 301.

Then the signal wire enters the connection hole 202. Next, tighten the fastening screw 203. The fastening screw 203 will tightly press against the signal wire. After both signal wires are fixed, the connection of the signal wires is completed.

[0031] After docking is completed, tighten the movable cylinder 301. The movable cylinder 301 will drive the push ring 402 to move, and then push the annular elastic claw 401 through the push ring 402. The annular elastic claw 401 will deform and then press tightly against the signal line. Furthermore, the annular elastic claw 401 will also squeeze the sealing gasket 403, and the sealing gasket 403 will also deform.

[0032] The gap is filled by the deformation of the sealing gasket 403, so that the sealing gasket 403 fits tightly against the signal line. The combination of the sealing gasket 403 and the annular elastic claw 401 can effectively improve the sealing effect of the signal line, making it difficult for dust and water stains to enter the interior of the housing 101. It can quickly connect the signal line and effectively improve the waterproof and dustproof effect.
