[0002] Connector housings are used to protect and secure internal electrical connection components, and are widely used in electronics, electrical engineering, and other fields. However, some existing high-strength waterproof connector housings still have the following problems during use: uneven distribution of overall structural strength, with corners and other parts prone to deformation and damage due to external forces; inadequate waterproof sealing design, leading to decreased sealing reliability after long-term use and a risk of water ingress; furthermore, it is difficult to balance lightweight design with strength, with some prioritizing strength at the expense of structural strength. Utility Model Content
[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-strength waterproof connector housing, which is equipped with structures such as inner corner reinforcement seats, outer corner reinforcement seats, reinforcement blocks, and rectangular reinforcement frames to enhance strength. It also works with front and rear sealing rings to ensure waterproofing and achieves lightweighting through weight-reduction grooves. This solves the problems of insufficient housing strength, poor waterproof reliability, and difficulty in balancing lightweighting and strength mentioned in the background technology.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-strength waterproof connector housing, comprising a housing assembly and a front cover assembly arranged in combination. The housing assembly includes a housing shell with an opening at the front end. An inner corner reinforcement seat is provided on the inner side of the opening of the housing shell. The inner corner reinforcement seat is used to enhance the structural strength of the inner corner of the opening of the housing shell and prevent the inner corner from being deformed by external forces. The front cover assembly includes a front cover body. The outer side of the front cover body is provided with a matching connecting portion outer contour corresponding to the opening of the housing shell to ensure connection sealing and facilitate precise docking between the front cover body and the housing shell.
[0007] The outer side of the outer shell is provided with an outer corner reinforcement seat, which is used to enhance the structural strength of the outer corner of the outer shell. The outer shell is also provided with a reinforcement block and a rectangular reinforcement frame. The reinforcement block can locally strengthen the inner side of the shell, and the rectangular reinforcement frame surrounds the outer side of the shell to further enhance the overall strength. The outer side of the outer shell is provided with a screw through-hole assembly hole, and the front cover is provided with a front assembly hole in the middle. The front cover is provided with a screw thread mounting hole corresponding to the screw through-hole assembly hole.
[0008] A front sealing ring is provided at the front assembly hole, which is used to seal the connection between the front assembly hole and the external component. A rear assembly hole is provided at the end of the outer shell away from the opening, and a rear sealing ring is provided at the rear assembly hole, which is used to seal the connection between the rear assembly hole and the external component.
[0009] The outer shell and the front cover are fastened together by screws with threaded mounting holes and screws with mounting holes. The front and rear sealing rings are used to achieve a waterproof seal after the electrical connection components are installed at the front and rear mounting holes of the outer shell, ensuring that the internal electrical components are not affected by water.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: there are multiple inner corner reinforcement seats and multiple outer corner reinforcement seats, and the multiple inner corner reinforcement seats and multiple outer corner reinforcement seats are respectively arranged at the inner and outer corners of the outer shell. By specifically reinforcing each inner and outer corner, the structural strength of the corner parts of the outer shell is improved in all aspects.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, there are multiple reinforcing blocks, and the multiple reinforcing blocks are spaced apart on the inner side of the outer shell. The spaced reinforcing blocks can strengthen multiple areas on the inner side of the shell without excessively increasing the weight.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, at least one weight-reducing groove is provided on the outer side wall of the outer corner reinforcement seat. The weight-reducing groove reduces the overall weight of the shell while ensuring the strength of the outer corner reinforcement seat, thus achieving a lightweight design.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: both the front sealing ring and the rear sealing ring are made of silicone rubber and are embedded sealing rings. Silicone rubber has good elasticity and aging resistance, and the embedded design can improve the stability of the sealing structure and extend the effective sealing time.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: there are multiple fastening screws, and the multiple fastening screws are evenly distributed along the circumference of the front cover. The evenly distributed fastening screws can make the connection between the front cover and the outer shell more uniform and firm, and avoid excessive local stress leading to sealing failure or structural deformation.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model: multiple rectangular reinforcing frames are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer shell. The multiple rectangular reinforcing frames are arranged around the outer side of the outer shell to reinforce the structure of the outer shell. The multiple rectangular reinforcing frames tighten the shell from the outside, further improving the overall deformation resistance of the outer shell.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. In this utility model, the shell is structurally reinforced from multiple dimensions, including the inner corner reinforcement seat, the outer corner reinforcement seat, the reinforcement block, and the rectangular reinforcement frame, through the cooperation of the inner corner, the outer corner, the inner part, and the outer whole. This greatly improves the overall strength of the shell and effectively avoids deformation and damage caused by external forces. At the same time, the weight-reducing groove achieves a balance between strength and lightweight.
[0018] 2. In this utility model, the embedded design of the front and rear sealing rings, combined with the evenly distributed fastening screws, enables reliable waterproof sealing at both the front and rear connection parts of the outer shell, improving waterproof reliability and durability, and ensuring the stable operation of the internal electrical connection components.
