[0007] According to the connecting component of the first aspect of this application, a limiting structure is provided on the protective component, which can effectively prevent the bolt from separating from the protective component, thereby effectively preventing the bolt from falling off. At the same time, it can realize the pre-assembly of the bolt and the outer shell, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0008] According to some embodiments of this application, the limiting structure is formed as a limiting rib, and the limiting rib extends in a ring along the circumference of the stud.

[0009] In this embodiment, the limiting rib structure is simple and easy to process, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the protective component. At the same time, the extension direction of the limiting rib is reasonable, so that it can be fastened to the outer shell of the connector in the circumferential direction of the protective component, thereby ensuring the fixing strength.

[0010] According to some embodiments of this application, in the first direction, a guide slope is formed on the side of the limiting rib facing the stud, and in the direction from the screw head to the stud, the guide slope extends radially inward along the stud.

[0011] In this embodiment, the guide slope can guide the limiting mechanism and the outer shell to cooperate, reduce the friction when the protective component and the outer shell cooperate, thereby effectively protecting the protective component and the outer shell and effectively preventing damage caused by hard contact during the cooperation process.

[0012] According to some embodiments of this application, the protective component includes: a protective ring extending circumferentially along the stud in an annular shape, the protective ring being sleeved on the radially outer side of the screw head, and the limiting structure being disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the protective ring; and a protective cover connected to the protective ring and covering the side of the protective ring away from the stud in the first direction.

[0013] In this embodiment, the protective ring and the protective cover together form a protective component, which facilitates the installation of the protective component with the bolt. Simultaneously, the protective ring and the protective cover work together to effectively insulate the bolt from the external environment, thus preventing accidental contact or hazard caused by moisture coming into contact with the bolt. Furthermore, the limiting structure is positioned strategically, avoiding obstruction of the bolt's storage space while ensuring proper engagement with the outer casing.

[0014] According to some embodiments of this application, one of the protective ring and the protective cover is provided with a buckle and the other is provided with a locking hole. The buckle and the locking hole cooperate to make the protective ring and the protective cover snap together.

[0015] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​connection is simple and facilitates the installation and removal of the protective ring and the protective cover, thereby making it easy to install the protective components and bolts together.

[0016] According to some embodiments of this application, the radially inner surface of the protective ring is provided with a flange extending radially inward. The flange extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the protective ring. The screw head is supported on the side surface of the flange facing the protective cover. The protective cover is provided with a boss protruding towards the screw head along the first direction. The boss is located radially inner to the protective ring. The side surface of the boss facing the screw head is provided with a fixing groove. The screw head is accommodated and fixed in the fixing groove. A limiting groove is formed around the periphery of the fixing groove, extending in a ring shape along the circumference of the fixing groove. The limiting groove penetrates the peripheral wall of the fixing groove. A protruding flange is formed on the peripheral surface of the screw head, extending in a ring shape along the circumference of the screw head. The flange fits into the limiting groove and is located on the side of the flange facing the protective cover.

[0017] In this embodiment, the flanged support is positioned between the screw head and the connector housing to prevent the screw head from directly passing through the protective component, thus preventing the connection between the protective component and the bolt from failing. This ensures that the protective component can properly protect the bolt. The boss provides space for the fixing groove, facilitating its placement. The fixing groove also secures the screw head, allowing the bolt to rotate by rotating the protective cover. This prevents workers from directly contacting the bolt and causing danger, thus improving operational safety. The limiting groove defines a space for the flange, facilitating its placement. Furthermore, the cooperation between the flange and the limiting groove effectively prevents the bolt from rotating relative to the protective cover, further ensuring the fixing strength between the bolt and the protective component.

[0019] In this embodiment, the outer side plate can cooperate with the boss to define a sealing groove. After the sealing groove is sealed by the sealing element, the seal between the protective cover and the shell can be achieved, thereby isolating the screw head from the outside space and effectively preventing moisture from contacting the screw head and causing danger. The first sealing element cooperates with the first groove to achieve a seal between the protective cover and the shell in the radial direction of the screw head, thereby effectively preventing moisture from entering the interior of the protective cover from the gap between the protective cover and the shell and contacting the screw head, thus avoiding bolt sparking and effectively ensuring the safety of the connector. The second sealing element cooperates with the second groove to achieve a seal between the protective cover and the shell in the axial direction of the screw head, thereby effectively preventing moisture from entering the interior of the protective cover from the gap between the protective cover and the shell and contacting the screw head, thus avoiding bolt sparking and effectively ensuring the safety of the connector. At the same time, the second sealing element and the first sealing element form double protection within the sealing groove, thereby effectively ensuring the sealing effect.

[0039] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0040] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 The connection component 100 of an embodiment of this application is described.

[0041] The connection component 100 provided in this application embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes: bolt 10 and protective component 20.

[0042] Specifically, the bolt 10 includes a stud 11 and a screw head 12; the protective member 20 covers the screw head 12 and is fixedly connected to it; the protective member 20 is provided with a limiting structure 211, which is adapted to engage with the housing 200 of the connector 1000 to limit the movement of the protective member 20 and the housing 200 in a first direction (e.g., Figure 1The relative movement in the up and down directions shown, with the first direction being the axial direction of the stud 11.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the stud 11 extends vertically, and the screw head 12 is located at the upper end of the stud 11, with a diameter larger than that of the stud 11. The protective component 20 covers the screw head 12, and the limiting structure 211 of the protective component 20 mates with the connector 1000 housing 200. Preferably, the limiting structure 211 can be a limiting protrusion, a limiting pin, or a stop, etc., to ensure the fixing strength between the protective component 20 and the housing 200. The protective component 20 is an injection-molded part, which has low injection molding cost, high production efficiency, and is convenient for mass production.

[0044] The connecting assembly 100 of this application includes a limiting structure 211 on the protective component 20. The limiting structure 211 cooperates with the housing 200 of the connector 1000 to effectively prevent the bolt 10 from separating from the protective component 20, thus preventing the bolt 10 from falling off. This also reduces the number of components used to fix the bolt 10, thereby lowering production costs. Furthermore, the cooperation between the limiting structure 211 and the connector 1000 allows for pre-assembly of the bolt 10 and the housing, facilitating installation and improving assembly efficiency. Additionally, the protective component 20 covers the bolt 10, isolating it from external dust and moisture, effectively ensuring the safety of the connector 1000. Compared to existing technologies that use plastic coating for the bolt 10, the protective component 20 of this application has a simpler structure, lower cost, and is easier to mass-produce, thus reducing the production cost of the connector 1000 assembly.

[0045] According to the embodiment of this application, the connecting assembly 100 has a limiting structure 211 on the protective member 20, which can effectively prevent the bolt 10 from separating from the protective member 20, thereby effectively preventing the bolt 10 from falling off. At the same time, it can realize the pre-assembly of the bolt 10 and the outer shell, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting structure 211 is formed as a limiting rib, and the limiting rib extends in a ring along the circumference of the stud 11.

[0047] Therefore, the limiting rib structure is simple and easy to process, which can improve the processing efficiency of the protective part 20. At the same time, the extension direction of the limiting rib is reasonable, so that it can be fastened to the outer shell of the connector 1000 in the circumferential direction of the protective part 20, thereby ensuring the fixing strength.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting rib faces the side of the stud 11 (e.g.) Figure 2 A guide slope 2111 is formed on the lower side of the limiting rib shown. In the direction from the screw head 12 to the stud 11, the guide slope 2111 extends radially inward along the stud 11.

[0049] Therefore, the guide slope 2111 can guide the limiting mechanism and the outer shell to cooperate, reduce the friction when the protective part 20 cooperates with the outer shell, and thus effectively protect the protective part 20 and the outer shell, and effectively prevent damage caused by hard contact during the cooperation process.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a guide slope 2111 is formed on the lower side of the limiting rib. In the direction from top to bottom, the guide slope 2111 extends radially inward along the stud 11.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the protective component 20 includes a protective ring 21 and a protective cover 22. The protective ring 21 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the stud 11 and is sleeved on the radially outer side of the screw head 12. A limiting structure 211 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the protective ring 21. The protective cover 22 is connected to the protective ring 21 and seals the protective ring 21 in the first direction (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (As shown in the up-down direction) on the side opposite to the stud 11.

[0052] In this way, the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22 together form the protective component 20, which facilitates the installation of the protective component 20 with the bolt 10. At the same time, the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22 work together to effectively insulate the bolt 10 from the external environment, thereby preventing accidental contact or moisture from coming into contact with the bolt 10 and causing danger. In addition, the limiting structure 211 is positioned reasonably, which not only avoids the limiting structure 211 occupying the space for the bolt 10, but also ensures that the limiting structure 211 can cooperate with the outer shell for limiting.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the protective ring 21 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the stud 11. The protective ring 21 is sleeved on the radial outer side of the screw head 12. The limiting structure 211 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the protective ring 21. The protective cover 22 is connected to the protective ring 21 and covers the upper side of the protective ring 21. In this way, the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22 protect the screw head 12 within the space defined by the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22 are detachably connected.

[0055] Therefore, the detachable connection facilitates the installation of the protective component 20 and the bolt 10, and also facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22.

[0056] Preferably, the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22 can be connected by threads, snap-fit, or pins.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one of the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22 is provided with a buckle 212 and the other is provided with a locking hole 2211. That is to say, the protective ring 21 can be provided with a buckle 212 and the protective cover 22 can be provided with a locking hole 2211, or the protective cover 22 can be provided with a buckle 212 and the protective ring 21 can be provided with a locking hole 2211. The buckle 212 and the locking hole 2211 cooperate to make the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22 snap together.

[0058] Therefore, the snap-fit ​​connection is simple and facilitates the installation and removal of the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22, thereby facilitating the installation of the protective component 20 and the bolt 10.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective ring 21 is provided with a buckle 212 and the protective cover 22 is provided with a locking hole 2211. The buckle 212 and the locking hole 2211 cooperate to make the protective ring 21 and the protective cover 22 snap together.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the radially inner surface of the protective ring 21 is provided with a flange 213 extending radially inward. The flange 213 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the protective ring 21, and the screw head 12 is supported on the side surface of the flange 213 facing the protective cover 22 (e.g., Figure 4 The upper surface of the flange 213 shown.

[0061] Therefore, the flange 213 is supported between the screw head 12 and the housing of the connector 1000, which can prevent the screw head 12 from directly passing through the protective member 20 and causing the connection between the protective member 20 and the bolt 10 to fail, thereby ensuring that the protective member 20 can normally protect the bolt 10.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner radial surface of the protective ring 21 is provided with a flange 213 extending radially inward. The flange 213 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the protective ring 21, and the screw head 12 is supported on the upper surface of the flange 213.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective cover 22 is provided along the first direction (e.g. Figure 1 The boss 221 (shown in the up-down direction) protrudes towards the screw head 12. The boss 221 is located radially inside the protective ring 21. The side surface of the boss 221 facing the screw head 12 (as shown in the figure) Figure 1 The lower surface of the boss 221 shown is provided with a fixing groove (not shown in the figure), and the screw head 12 is accommodated and fixed in the fixing groove.

[0064] Therefore, the boss 221 provides space for the fixing groove, which facilitates the arrangement of the fixing groove. At the same time, the fixing groove can fix the screw head 12, so the bolt 10 can be rotated by rotating the protective cover 22, thereby avoiding the danger caused by workers directly contacting the bolt 10. Therefore, the safety of the operation can be improved.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective cover 22 has a boss 221 that protrudes towards the screw head 12 in the vertical direction. The boss 221 is located radially inside the protective ring 21. The lower surface of the boss 221 has a fixing groove, in which the screw head 12 is accommodated and fixed. Preferably, the screw head 12 is an external hexagonal screw head 12, and the fixing groove is an internal hexagonal fixing groove. The screw head 12 is fixed in the fixing groove, thereby preventing the screw head 12 from rotating relative to the protective cover 22 in the fixing groove.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a limiting groove extending in an annular shape along the circumference of the fixing groove is formed on the periphery of the fixing groove. The limiting groove penetrates the peripheral wall of the fixing groove. A protruding flange 121 is formed on the peripheral surface of the screw head 12. The flange 121 extends in an annular shape along the circumference of the screw head 12. The flange 121 fits into the limiting groove and is located on the side of the flange 213 facing the protective cover 22 (e.g., Figure 1 (The upper side of the flange 213 shown).

[0067] Therefore, the limiting groove can define the accommodating space for the flange 121, which facilitates the arrangement of the flange 121. At the same time, through the cooperation between the flange 121 and the limiting groove, the bolt 10 can be effectively prevented from rotating relative to the protective cover 22, thus further ensuring the fixing strength between the bolt 10 and the protective part 20.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a limiting groove is formed around the periphery of the fixing groove, extending in an annular shape along the circumference of the fixing groove. The limiting groove penetrates the peripheral wall of the fixing groove. A flange 121 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lower side of the screw head 12, protruding outward along the radial direction of the screw head 12. The flange 121 extends in an annular shape along the circumference of the screw head 12. The flange 121 fits into the limiting groove and is located on the upper side of the flange 213.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective cover 22 also includes: along the first direction (e.g. Figure 1 The outer side plate 222 extends in the vertical direction (as shown), and the outer side plate 222 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the boss 221. The end of the outer side plate 222 away from the stud 11 (as shown) Figure 1 The upper end of the outer side plate 222 shown is connected to the boss 221. The outer side plate 222 and the boss 221 cooperate to define a sealing groove. The connecting assembly 100 also includes a sealing element, which is disposed in the sealing groove to be suitable for sealing against the protective cover 22 and the housing 200.

[0070] Therefore, the outer side plate 222 can cooperate with the boss 221 to define the sealing groove. After the sealing groove is sealed by the sealing element, the seal between the protective cover 22 and the housing 200 can be achieved, thereby sealing and isolating the screw head 12 from the outside space, and thus effectively preventing water vapor from contacting the screw head 12 and causing danger.

[0071] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer side plate 222 extends in the vertical direction and extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the boss 221. The upper end of the outer side plate 222 is connected to the boss 221. The outer side plate 222 and the boss 221 cooperate to define a sealing groove. The sealing groove extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the boss 221. The sealing groove extends in the vertical direction and the lower side of the sealing groove is open. The sealing element is provided in the sealing groove. The sealing element seals the gap between the protective cover 22 and the housing 200 in the axial and radial directions of the screw head 12.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first groove 31 is formed on the side wall of the sealing groove. The first groove 31 extends in an annular shape along the circumference of the boss 221. The sealing element includes a first sealing element 41, which is disposed in the first groove 31.

[0073] Therefore, the first sealing element 41 cooperates with the first groove 31 to achieve a seal between the protective cover 22 and the housing 200 in the radial direction of the screw head 12, thereby effectively preventing moisture from entering the interior of the protective cover 22 from the gap between the protective cover 22 and the housing 200 and contacting the screw head 12, thus avoiding sparking of the bolt 10, and thus effectively ensuring the safety of the connector 1000.

[0074] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first groove 31 is formed on the side wall of the sealing groove. The first groove 31 extends in an annular shape along the circumference of the boss 221. The first sealing element 41 is disposed in the first groove 31, and the first sealing element 41 abuts against the boss 221 and the housing 200 on both sides in the radial direction. Preferably, the first sealing element 41 is a star-shaped sealing ring, which can effectively ensure the sealing effect.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective component 20 and the bolt 10 are assembled without plastic coating, which allows the bolt 10 to have a certain amount of movement, which can offset a certain bolt 10 fit tolerance, so that the radial sealing star-shaped sealing ring is subjected to less stress on one side, and the sealing reliability is higher.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sealing groove is in the first direction (e.g.) Figure 1 A second groove 32 is formed on the bottom wall opposite to the stud 11 in the up-down direction shown. The second groove 32 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the boss 221. The sealing element includes a second sealing element 42, which is disposed in the second groove 32.

[0077] Therefore, the second seal 42 cooperates with the second groove 32 to achieve a seal between the protective cover 22 and the housing 200 in the axial direction of the screw head 12. This effectively prevents moisture from entering the interior of the protective cover 22 and contacting the screw head 12 through the gap between the protective cover 22 and the housing 200, thereby preventing the bolt 10 from sparking. Thus, the safety of the connector 1000 can be effectively guaranteed. At the same time, the second seal 42 and the first seal 41 form a double protection in the sealing groove, thereby effectively guaranteeing the sealing effect.

[0078] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second groove 32 is formed on the bottom wall at the upper end of the sealing groove. The second groove 32 extends in an annular shape along the circumference of the boss 221, and the second sealing element 42 is disposed in the second groove 32. Preferably, the second sealing element 42 is a flat gasket sealing ring, which can effectively ensure the sealing effect.

[0079] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the protective component 20 has a surface facing away from the bolt 10 (e.g., Figure 4 The upper surface of the protective component 20 shown is provided with an operating hole 2212 suitable for inserting a wrench.

[0080] Thus, when the wrench is inserted into the operating hole 2212 and the protective part 20 is rotated, the force of the wrench is transmitted to the bolt head 12 through the protective part 20, thereby enabling the bolt 10 to rotate. The protective part 20 can then be directly operated to tighten or loosen the bolt 10. Therefore, the bolt 10 can be operated without opening the protective cover 22, which can effectively ensure the safety of the operation.

[0081] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the protective component 20 is provided with an operating hole 2212 suitable for wrench insertion. The operating hole 2212 is a star-shaped hole, which can prevent the wrench from stripping in the operating hole 2212.

[0082] The connector 1000 provided in the second aspect embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connector 1000 includes: a housing 200, an electrical connector 300, and the connection assembly 100 according to the embodiments of this application. The housing 200 is provided with a mating structure; one end of the electrical connector 300 extends into the housing 200; the bolt 10 extends into the housing 200 and is electrically connected to the electrical connector 300; the limiting structure 211 is limited and mated with the mating structure.

[0083] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 200 is provided with a mating structure, the left end of the electrical connector 300 extends into the housing 200; the bolt 10 extends into the housing 200 from top to bottom, and is screwed and electrically connected to the electrical connector 300, and the limiting structure 211 is limited and mated with the mating structure.
