Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterproof connector technology, specifically a waterproof connector for cable trays. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in electrical installation and wiring projects, cable trays are an important component for protecting and managing wires and cables. Their sealing and stability are directly related to the safe operation of electrical systems. However, traditional cable tray connection methods often have insufficient sealing, especially in humid, dusty, or waterproof and moisture-proof environments. The cable tray interfaces can easily become channels for moisture, dust, and other harmful substances to enter, thereby affecting the service life of wires and cables and the overall safety of electrical systems.
[0003] While existing cable tray connectors have improved the connection strength between cable trays to some extent, they still have many shortcomings in terms of waterproof sealing. For example, some connectors rely solely on simple mechanical structures for connection and lack effective sealing measures, resulting in an inability to effectively prevent the intrusion of moisture and dust in harsh environments. Other connectors, although they use sealing elements such as sealing rings, often have unsatisfactory sealing effects due to unreasonable design or improper material selection, and are prone to aging and failure after long-term use.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a connector for waterproof cable trays. Through an innovative combination of connecting and sealing components, this connector can not only effectively improve the connection strength and stability between cable trays, but also form a reliable waterproof sealing layer at the connection point, effectively preventing the intrusion of harmful substances such as moisture and dust. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connector for waterproof cable trays, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a connector for a waterproof cable tray, comprising a connector, an outer cover fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the connector, a connecting seat fixedly installed in the middle of one end of the connector, a mating device provided on one side of the connector, and wires installed in communication between the mating device and the middle of the connector, the mating device and the connector being connected by a connecting assembly, and a sealing assembly installed on the outer side of the connecting assembly.
[0007] Optionally, the connecting assembly includes a connecting groove in the middle of the connecting seat, four sets of equally spaced slots on the outside of the connecting groove, a docking seat fixedly installed in the middle of one end of the docking device, a docking terminal fixedly installed on the other side of the docking seat, and four sets of equally spaced blocks fixedly installed on the outside of the docking terminal, wherein the four sets of blocks are slidably connected to the four sets of slots respectively.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector and the docking device can be docked.
[0009] Optionally, a sealing seat is installed on one side of the docking device, and the sealing seat corresponds to the outer cover port.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer casing port can be sealed.
[0011] Optionally, the sealing assembly includes an injection tube connected to one side of the outer cover, an outlet tube connected to one side of the sealing seat, and a sealing cover fixedly installed on the outside of the sealing seat, wherein the sealing cover is inserted into the side wall of the outer cover.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing performance of the device is increased.
[0013] Optionally, a limiting post is fixedly installed in the middle of the docking device, and the limiting post is slidably connected to the middle of the sealing seat.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to move the sealing seat.
[0015] Optionally, the side wall of the sealing seat is provided with an external thread, and one end of the inner wall of the outer cover is provided with an internal thread, wherein the internal thread and the external thread are threadedly connected.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing seat can be attached to the outer cover port.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:
[0018] This application's technical solution combines a connecting component with a sealing component. When the connector and the mating device are connected, it not only limits and supports the mating terminals to prevent the mating ports from shaking and reducing the sealing performance, but also, in conjunction with the friction between the locking block and the locking slot, further increases the stability and firmness of the connection between the connector and the mating device. At the same time, the operator can continuously inject sealant into the inside of the outer cover through the injection tube to ensure that the sealant fills the inside of the outer cover. After the sealant solidifies, it will fill the space between the connector and the mating device, effectively increasing the sealing performance of the device.
[0019] The sealing seat has an external thread on its side wall, which is threaded to the internal thread on one end of the inner wall of the outer cover. When the mating terminal on the mating seat is inserted into the connecting groove in the connecting seat, the sealing seat is pushed to make the external thread on the sealing seat threaded to the internal thread on the outer cover. This can completely seal the port of the outer cover, which not only increases the stability and firmness of the device after connection, but also ensures that the sealant can solidify between the connector and the mating device.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a connector for waterproof cable trays, including a connector 1, an outer cover 11 fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the connector 1, a connecting seat 12 fixedly installed in the middle of one end of the connector 1, a docking device 13 provided on one side of the connector 1, and wires installed in both the docking device 13 and the middle of the connector 1. The docking device 13 and the connector 1 are connected by a connecting component, and a sealing component is installed on the outer side of the connecting component.
[0026] By combining the connecting component and the sealing component, when the connector 1 is connected to the docking device 13, it can not only limit and support the docking terminal 22 to prevent the docking port from shaking and reducing the sealing performance, but also, with the friction between the locking block 23 and the locking groove 21, further increase the stability and firmness of the connection between the connector 1 and the docking device 13. At the same time, the operator can continuously inject sealant into the inside of the outer cover 11 through the glue injection tube 25 to ensure that the sealant fills the inside of the outer cover 11. After the sealant solidifies, the solidified sealant will fill the space between the connector 1 and the docking device 13, effectively increasing the sealing performance of the device.
[0027] In this technical solution, a limiting post 33 is fixedly installed in the middle of the docking device 13. The limiting post 33 is slidably connected to the middle of the sealing seat 24 to facilitate the movement of the sealing seat 24. The side wall of the sealing seat 24 is provided with an external thread 31, and one end of the inner wall of the outer cover 11 is provided with an internal thread 3. The internal thread 3 and the external thread 31 are threadedly connected to each other, so that the sealing seat 24 can be fitted to the port of the outer cover 11.
[0028] After the docking terminal 22 on the docking seat 14 is inserted into the connecting groove 2 inside the connector 12, the sealing seat 24 is pushed so that the external thread 31 on the sealing seat 24 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 3 on the outer cover 11. This can completely seal the port of the outer cover 11, which not only increases the stability and firmness of the device after connection, but also ensures that the sealant can solidify between the connector 1 and the docking device 13.
[0029] In this technical solution, the connecting assembly includes a connecting groove 2 opened in the middle of the connecting seat 12, four sets of equally spaced slots 21 opened on the outside of the connecting groove 2, a docking seat 14 fixedly installed in the middle of one end of the docking device 13, a docking terminal 22 fixedly installed on the other side of the docking seat 14, and four sets of equally spaced locking blocks 23 fixedly installed on the outside of the docking terminal 22. The four sets of locking blocks 23 are slidably connected to the four sets of slots 21 respectively, so that the connector 1 and the docking device 13 can dock.
[0030] When connector 1 is connected to docking device 13, docking terminals 22 on docking seat 14 can be directly inserted into the connecting groove 2 inside connector seat 12, so that connector 1 and docking device 13 are interconnected. With the cooperation of four sets of locking blocks 23 and four sets of locking slots 21, they can not only limit and support docking terminals 22 to prevent the docking port from shaking and reducing the sealing performance, but also, with the friction between locking blocks 23 and locking slots 21, further increase the stability and firmness of the connection between connector 1 and docking device 13.
[0031] In this technical solution, the sealing assembly includes an injection tube 25 connected to one side of the outer cover 11, an outlet tube connected to one side of the sealing seat 24, and a sealing cover 34 fixedly installed on the outside of the sealing seat 24. The sealing cover 34 is inserted into the side wall of the outer cover 11 to increase the sealing performance of the device.
[0032] By continuously injecting sealant into the inside of the outer cover 11 through the injection tube 25 and waiting for the sealant outlet 32 to discharge, the sealant can be ensured to fill the inside of the outer cover 11. After the sealant solidifies, the solidified sealant will fill the space between the connector 1 and the mating device 13, effectively increasing the sealing performance of the device.
[0033] In this technical solution, a sealing seat 24 is installed on one side of the connector 13. The sealing seat 24 corresponds to the port of the outer cover 11 and can block the port of the outer cover 11.
[0034] Once the sealing seat 24 is attached to the port of the outer cover 11, the port of the outer cover 11 can be sealed to prevent the sealant from overflowing from the port of the outer cover 11.
[0035] In use, the connecting and sealing components are first combined. When the connector 1 is connected to the docking device 13, the docking terminal 22 on the docking seat 14 can be directly inserted into the connecting groove 2 inside the connecting seat 12, so that the connector 1 and the docking device 13 are interconnected. With the cooperation of four sets of locking blocks 23 and four sets of locking slots 21, the four sets of locking blocks 23 can slide and connect, which can not only limit and support the docking terminal 22 to prevent the docking port from shaking and reducing the sealing performance, but also, with the friction between the locking blocks 23 and the locking slots 21, further increase the stability and firmness of the connection between the connector 1 and the docking device 13. At the same time, the operator continuously injects sealant into the inside of the outer cover 11 through the injection tube 25 and waits for the sealant to be discharged from the sealant outlet 32. This ensures that the sealant fills the inside of the outer cover 11. After the sealant solidifies, it fills the space between the connector 1 and the docking device 13, effectively increasing the device's sealing performance. Meanwhile, the sealing seat 24 has an external thread 31 on its side wall, which is threaded to the internal thread 3 on one end of the inner wall of the outer cover 11. When the docking terminal 22 on the docking seat 14 is inserted into the connecting groove 2 in the connector seat 12, the sealing seat 24 is pushed to make the external thread 31 on the sealing seat 24 threaded to the internal thread 3 on the outer cover 11. This completely seals the port of the outer cover 11, increasing the stability and firmness of the device connection and ensuring that the sealant can solidify between the connector 1 and the docking device 13.
