[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 As an embodiment of the present invention, an electrical connector with a dustproof structure is provided, comprising: a connector body 100 and a dustproof unit 200.

[0029] The male connector 101 of the connector body 100 mates with the female connector 102 to achieve electrical connection, and the socket 102a on the female connector 102 is used for insertion of the male connector 101. The anti-disengagement component 103 provides a stable connection between the two. The two dustproof half-sleeves 201 of the dustproof unit 200 are spliced ​​together to form a dustproof sleeve 202. The quadrilateral transmission structure 203 is used to keep the dustproof half-sleeves 201 in a lateral state, and the synchronization component 204 ensures the consistency of the movement of the dustproof half-sleeves 201. Here, the quadrilateral transmission structure 203 and the synchronization component 204 are key structures to ensure the effective realization of the dustproof function. The quadrilateral transmission structure 203 provides a stable transmission method for the movement of the dustproof half-sleeves 201, and the synchronization component 204 ensures the synchronicity of the dustproof half-sleeves 201 during the operation.

[0030] When connecting the electrical connector, the male connector 101 is slowly inserted into the socket 102a of the female connector 102. During insertion, the male connector 101 contacts and pushes the dustproof half-sleeve 201. As the male connector 101 is inserted deeper, the dustproof half-sleeve 201 adjusts its position under the action of the quadrilateral transmission structure 203, gradually moving closer to the connection point between the male connector 101 and the female connector 102. At the same time, the synchronization component 204 works to ensure that the two dustproof half-sleeves 201 move synchronously. When the male connector 101 is fully inserted into the socket 102a of the female connector 102, the two dustproof half-sleeves 201 accurately join together to form the dustproof sleeve 202, which is tightly fitted at the connection point between the male connector 101 and the female connector 102, thus providing dust protection.

[0031] When it is necessary to disconnect the electrical connector, grasp the male connector 101 and pull it outward. Pulling out the male connector 101 causes the dustproof half-sleeve 201 to move in the opposite direction. With the cooperation of the quadrilateral transmission structure 203 and the synchronization component 204, the dustproof half-sleeve 201 gradually returns to its initial lateral state, preparing for the next use.

[0032] The dust cover 202 effectively protects the connection points, reducing the possibility of dust entering the electrical connector and mitigating problems such as poor contact and signal transmission failures caused by dust accumulation, thereby improving the operational stability and service life of the electrical connector. Simultaneously, the synchronization component 204 ensures the automatic opening and closing of the dust cover 202, making the operation of the male connector 101 more convenient and improving efficiency.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the quadrilateral transmission structure 203 includes a first rotating shaft 203a and a second rotating shaft 203b rotatably mounted on the female seat 102. A tail lever 203c is fixed on the first rotating shaft 203a, and a head lever 203d is fixed on the second rotating shaft 203b. The end of the head lever 203d is connected to a head connecting rod 203e, and the end of the tail lever 203c is connected to a tail connecting rod 203f. The head connecting rod 203e and the tail connecting rod 203f are rotatably connected to the front end and rear end of the dustproof half-sleeve 201, respectively. The first rotating shaft 203a and the second rotating shaft 203b are on the same horizontal plane and parallel to each other. The head lever 203d and the tail lever 203c are horizontally arranged and of the same length. At the same time, the first rotating shaft 203a is parallel to the tail connecting rod 203f, the second rotating shaft 203b is parallel to the head connecting rod 203e, and the head connecting rod 203e and the tail connecting rod 203f are also parallel to each other. This parallel and symmetrical structural design makes the quadrilateral transmission structure 203 more stable during movement, and can accurately transmit the insertion force of the male seat 101 to the dustproof half-sleeve 201, realizing the smooth movement of the dustproof half-sleeve 201.

[0035] The synchronization assembly 204 includes a retraction spring 204a and a synchronization gear 204b. The retraction spring 204a is fixedly connected at both ends to two adjacent head connecting rods 203e, and the synchronization gear 204b is fixedly sleeved on the second rotating shaft 203b. The synchronization gears 204b on the two adjacent second rotating shafts 203b mesh with each other. The retraction spring 204a provides a certain elastic force to assist the movement of the dustproof half-sleeve 201 and helps the dustproof half-sleeve 201 return to its initial position after the male seat 101 is pulled out. The meshing transmission of the synchronization gear 204b ensures that the movements of the two quadrilateral transmission structures 203 are completely synchronized, making the splicing of the two dustproof half-sleeves 201 more precise.

[0036] The anti-detachment assembly 103 includes elastic connecting rods 103a symmetrically mounted on the female seat 102, a cavity 103b corresponding to the elastic connecting rods 103a on the male seat 101, a wedge-shaped block 103c at the end of the elastic connecting rods 103a, a locking groove 103d inside the cavity 103b, and an unlocking block 103e slidably disposed within the locking groove 103d. When the male seat 101 is inserted into the female seat 102, the elastic connecting rods 103a enter the cavity 103b, and the wedge-shaped block 103c engages with the locking groove 103d to achieve locking; when separation is required, pushing the unlocking block 103e pushes the wedge-shaped block 103c out of the locking groove 103d to unlock. This design of the anti-detachment assembly 103, through the cooperation of the wedge-shaped block 103c and the locking groove 103d, provides a reliable locking method to ensure a firm connection between the male seat 101 and the female seat 102, while the setting of the unlocking block 103e makes the unlocking operation simple and convenient.

[0037] Insertion of male connector 101: Align male connector 101 with the insertion port 102a of female connector 102 and insert it. The front end of male connector 101 pushes the dustproof half-sleeve 201 to move. The dustproof half-sleeve 201 drives the head connecting rod 203e and the tail connecting rod 203f to move, causing the head lever 203d and the tail lever 203c to rotate around the first rotating shaft 203a and the second rotating shaft 203b. Under the action of the synchronization component 204, the contraction spring 204a stretches or contracts to assist the action, and the meshing transmission of the synchronization gear 204b ensures that the two quadrilateral transmission structures 203 are synchronized. The two dustproof half-sleeves 201 move synchronously and splice together to form the dustproof sleeve 202. At the same time, the insertion of male connector 101 causes the elastic connecting rod 103a to enter the cavity 103b, and the wedge block 103c, under the action of elasticity, gets into the locking groove 103d, completing the locking of male connector 101 and female connector 102.

[0038] Pulling out the male seat 101: Push the unlocking block 103e to slide within the lock groove 103d, squeezing out the wedge block 103c from the lock groove 103d, thus unlocking the lock. Then, grasp the male seat 101 and pull it outwards. The male seat 101 drives the dustproof half-sleeve 201 to move in the opposite direction. Under the contraction force of the compression spring 204a and the action of the quadrilateral transmission structure 203, the dustproof half-sleeve 201 returns to its initial lateral state.

[0039] The parallel symmetrical design of the quadrilateral transmission structure 203 makes the movement of the dustproof half-sleeve 201 more stable and precise, improving the accuracy of the dustproof sleeve 202 splicing. The cooperation of the contraction spring 204a and the synchronization gear 204b in the synchronization component 204 enhances the synchronization effect, making the opening and closing of the dustproof sleeve 202 smoother. The anti-detachment component 103 effectively prevents the male connector 101 and the female connector 102 from accidentally separating, improving the stability of the connection, while the unlocking operation is simple, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the electrical connector. Overall, the electrical connector of this embodiment has significantly improved in terms of dustproof performance, connection stability, and ease of operation.

[0040] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
