Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a connector assembly resistant to shell damage: it includes a connecting wire 1 and a terminal block 2. The terminal block 2 is fixedly installed at the front end of the connecting wire 1. A connector shell 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the terminal block 2 away from the connecting wire 1. A connector 4 is fixedly installed at the end of the connector shell 3 away from the terminal block 2. Two protective shells 5 are fitted on the outer surface of the connector shell 3. A locking block 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each of the two protective shells 5. A slot 7 is opened on the outer surface of the connector shell 3. The locking block 6 and the slot 7 are both T-shaped. The locking block 6 and the inner wall of the slot 7 are slidably connected. Insert blocks 8 are fixedly installed on the side walls at both the upper and lower ends of one protective shell 5. Slots for insertion into the insert blocks 8 are opened on the side walls at both the upper and lower ends of the other protective shell 5.

[0023] To facilitate quick and easy fixation of the protective shell 5, a movable sleeve 9 is fitted onto the outer surface of the connector block 2. A connecting sleeve 10 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the movable sleeve 9. A connecting groove 11 is opened on the outer surface of the protective shell 5 near the connector block 2. An internal thread is opened on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 10. An external thread that meshes with the internal thread is opened on the inner wall of the connecting groove 11. A limit ring 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the movable sleeve 9. A limit groove that matches the limit ring 12 is opened on the outer surface of the connector block 2. A protective coil 13 fitted onto the outer surface of the connecting wire 1 is fixedly installed at the other end of the movable sleeve 9.

[0024] By setting up a connecting wire 1, a terminal block 2, a connector housing 3, a connector 4, a protective shell 5, a locking block 6, a locking groove 7, a plug block 8, a movable sleeve 9, a connecting sleeve 10, a connecting groove 11, a limiting ring 12, and a protective coil 13, the function of protecting the connector housing is realized. By covering the connector housing 3 with a protective shell 5, the connector housing 3 can be prevented from being damaged by external factors, thereby ensuring that the electronic components inside the connector housing can operate normally, ensuring the connection effect of the connector, and improving the practicality of the connector.

[0025] A sealing assembly is provided on the outer surface of the connector 4. The sealing assembly includes a sealing cover 14, which is fitted onto the outer surface of the connector 4. A fixing plate 15 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the opening end of the sealing cover 14. Two connecting plates 16 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixing plate 15. Rotating blocks 17 are fixedly installed on the opposite sidewalls of the two connecting plates 16. Fixing seats 18 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the two protective shells 5. Rotating grooves 19 are opened on the sidewalls of the two fixing seats 18. The rotating grooves 19 are T-shaped. The two rotating blocks 17 are respectively set inside the corresponding rotating grooves 19.

[0026] By setting up a sealing cover 14, a fixing plate 15, a connecting plate 16, a rotating block 17, a fixing seat 18, and a rotating groove 19, the function of sealing and protecting the connector 4 is realized. By placing the sealing cover 14 on the outside of the connector 4, the connector 4 is sealed, so that when the connector is not in use, the inside of the connector 4 can be prevented from getting damp, thus improving the safety of the connector.

[0027] Working principle: When protecting the connector, first bring the two protective shells 5 close to each other so that the plug 8 is aligned with the slot. After the two protective shells 5 come into contact, the plug 8 is inserted into the slot. Then, bring the two protective shells 5 close to the connector housing 3 so that the locking block 6 is aligned with the locking groove 7. Then move the two protective shells 5 so that they are fitted onto the outer surface of the connector housing 3. The locking block 6 slides inside the locking groove 7. After the two protective shells 5 are completely fitted onto the outside of the connector housing 3, pull the movable sleeve 9 close to the protective shell 5. The limiting ring 12 slides inside the limiting groove, which at the same time drives the connecting sleeve 10 and the protective coil 13 to move. When the connecting sleeve 10 contacts the protective shell 5, rotate the connecting sleeve 10. The internal thread of the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 10 engages with the external thread of the inner wall of the connecting groove 11, so that the connecting sleeve 10 is fitted onto the outer surface of the protective shell 5 through the connecting groove 11, thereby fixing the protective shell 5 and completing the protection of the connector housing 3. At the same time, the protective coil 13 protects the connection between the connecting wire 1 and the terminal block 2.

[0028] When it is necessary to release the seal on connector 4, pull the sealing cover 14 away from connector 4, so that the sealing cover 14 slides outside connector 4, the connecting plate 16 slides inside the fixing seat 18, and the rotating block 17 slides inside the rotating groove 19. After the sealing cover 14 is removed from connector 4, the rotating block 17 contacts the inner wall of the rotating groove 19 near the end of connector 4. Then rotate the sealing cover 14 downward, so that the connecting plate 16 rotates on the side wall of the fixing seat 18 and the rotating block 17 rotates inside the rotating groove 19, thereby exposing connector 4. At this time, the connector can be used normally. Reverse the above operation to reseal connector 4.

[0029] 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.
