Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of USB connector technology, and in particular to a waterproof and shockproof USB connector. Background Technology

[0002] The USB connector is the core interface for data transmission and power supply between electronic devices. Its standardized design and wide compatibility make it a cornerstone of modern technology. USB connectors are mainly used in consumer electronics, computer peripherals, industrial and medical applications, and the automotive industry.

[0003] In existing technologies, USB connectors generally lack shock resistance. When subjected to significant external impacts, their internal core components bear the brunt of the shock and may be damaged. Furthermore, USB connectors typically employ a monolithic structure, meaning that damaged internal components usually result in the entire connector being discarded, leading to resource waste and economic losses. Therefore, this paper proposes a waterproof and shockproof USB connector as an improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a waterproof and shockproof USB connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a waterproof and shockproof USB connector, comprising a connector body and an outer frame. An inner frame is disposed within the outer frame, and a plurality of elastic blocks are disposed between the outer frame and the inner frame. A plurality of protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer frame, and a plurality of damping rods and springs are disposed between the outer frame and the inner frame. A sealing cap is sleeved on the front end of the connector body, a collar is fixedly connected to the front end of the inner frame, a waterproof ring is disposed on the inner side of the collar, and a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the end of the sealing cap.

[0007] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the rear ends of both the outer frame and the inner frame are provided with through holes, and a sealing gasket is provided at the through hole of the outer frame.

[0008] The above technical solution employs a connector body that serves as the core interface for data transmission and power supply between electronic devices. The outer and inner frames provide double-layer protection for the connector body, reducing the impact of external shocks. Through holes are provided at the rear ends of both the outer and inner frames, offering installation space for the connector body's wiring. A sealing gasket is placed at the through hole in the outer frame to achieve a seal, preventing water from entering the outer frame.

[0009] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, a plurality of the elastic blocks are evenly arranged at the corners of the inner frame, and a plurality of the protrusions are evenly arranged on the outer frame.

[0010] The above technical solution involves: elastic blocks connecting the outer and inner frames, which deform under impact to buffer against external forces. Several elastic blocks are evenly distributed at the corners of the inner frame, improving support stability without affecting the deformation of the outer frame. Raised tabs are installed on the outer side of the outer frame to cushion external forces, forming a barrier. The even distribution of these tabs provides uniform buffering for the outer frame, resulting in superior protection.

[0011] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the convex piece adopts an arc-shaped hollow structure, and a plurality of the damping rods are evenly arranged between the outer frame and the inner frame.

[0012] The above technical solution employs an arc-shaped hollow structure for the convex tabs, allowing them to deform upon impact. This deformation buffers external impacts, protecting the outer frame. Damping rods and springs are installed between the outer and inner frames, forming a buffer structure. The evenly distributed damping rods ensure a more uniform buffering effect.

[0013] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the spring is sleeved on the outside of the damping rod.

[0014] The above technical solution employs a spring and damping rod to provide a buffer structure between the outer and inner frames. By fitting the spring onto the outside of the damping rod, the spring is constrained, preventing it from bending.

[0015] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the waterproof ring includes an inclined section with a beveled inner surface and a horizontal section with a flat inner surface.

[0016] The above technical solution involves: a sealing cap being installed at the front end of the connector body to protect it. A collar is fitted onto the outside of the sealing cap, working in conjunction with it to protect the front end of the connector body. A waterproof ring is installed on the inside of the collar, working with the sealing gasket at the end of the sealing cap to achieve a seal between the collar and the sealing cap, thus providing waterproof protection for the connector body.

[0017] Preferably, as described in any of the above solutions, a cushioning pad is provided on the inner side of the inner frame.

[0018] The above technical solution involves setting a buffer pad on the inner side of the inner frame to form a buffer between the inner frame and the connector body, thereby further improving the protection effect of the buffer on the connector body.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This waterproof and shockproof USB connector utilizes a structure including an outer frame, inner frame, elastic blocks, tabs, damping rods, springs, sealing caps, collars, waterproof rings, and sealing gaskets. The outer and inner frames provide double-layer protection for the connector body, reducing the impact of external shocks. An elastic block connects the outer and inner frames, deforming under impact to buffer the force. Damping rods and springs further enhance the buffering effect. Tabs on the outer frame buffer external forces, creating a barrier and further improving protection. The multiple buffering structures—outer frame, inner frame, tabs, etc.—provide stable protection for the connector body, extending its lifespan.

[0020] 2. This waterproof and shockproof USB connector features several elastic blocks evenly distributed at the corners of the inner frame, enhancing support stability. Several evenly distributed tabs provide uniform cushioning for the outer frame, resulting in superior protection. The tabs employ an arc-shaped hollow structure, allowing them to deform upon impact, using this deformation to buffer external shocks and protect the outer frame. A waterproof ring is located on the inner side of the collar, working in conjunction with the sealing gasket at the end of the sealing cap to achieve a seal between the collar and the sealing cap, forming waterproof protection for the connector body.
