Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to a connector with a waterproof structure. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are fundamental components for electrical connection and signal transmission between devices, components, and systems. Due to their good contact, reliable operation, and convenient maintenance, they are widely used in various electrical circuits to connect or disconnect circuits. Among them, connectors with waterproof structures are electrical connection devices designed for use in humid, water-filled, or harsh environments. Their core feature is that they build a physical barrier through sealing technology to effectively prevent the penetration of liquid water. Existing connectors have a simple structure and cannot provide timely warnings about moisture leakage, which can lead to electrode corrosion and affect the stability of electrical connections. At the same time, moisture penetration into the connector electrodes in a humid environment accelerates contact oxidation, reducing conductivity and potentially causing equipment malfunctions or even short circuits.

[0003] Therefore, a connector with a waterproof structure is needed to improve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that when connectors with waterproof structures are used, moisture penetration in humid environments accelerates contact point oxidation, reducing conductivity and potentially causing equipment malfunctions or even short circuits, this invention provides a connector with a waterproof structure to solve the aforementioned issues.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A connector with a waterproof structure includes a connecting housing, a female end threadedly connected to a port on one side of the connecting housing, and a front panel threadedly connected to a port on the other side of the connecting housing. A monitoring component is installed on the outer wall of the connecting housing, a waterproof sealing component is installed on the inner wall of the connecting housing, and a fixing block is installed on the opposite side wall of the female end, wherein a bolt is threaded onto the outer wall of the fixing block.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the monitoring component includes a sealing partition and a mounting plate. The sealing partition is embedded in the inner wall of the connecting shell and is located on one side of the front panel. An installation groove is provided on the outer wall of the sealing partition, and a metal base plate is installed on the inner wall of the installation groove.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an electrode contact is installed on the inner wall opposite to the mounting groove directly above the metal base plate, wherein there is a gap between the electrode contact and the metal base plate, the mounting plate is embedded in the outer wall of the connecting shell, a controller is installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate, a horn is installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate, and a warning light is installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the waterproof sealing assembly includes a mounting base, which is embedded in the inner wall of the connecting housing and located on one side of the sealing partition. Connecting electrodes are embedded in the outer wall of the mounting base, wherein multiple sets of connecting electrodes are provided and are respectively located on the outer wall of the mounting base.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting groove is formed on one side of the connecting electrode and on the outer wall of the mounting base, and a fixing groove is formed on one side of the limiting groove and on the outer wall of the mounting base.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting spring is installed on the inner wall of the fixing groove, and a sealing waterproof sleeve is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting electrode, and the sealing waterproof sleeve is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting plate is installed at one end of the sealing waterproof sleeve, wherein the limiting plate is located in the inner cavity of the connecting shell and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting electrode, and a limiting spring is connected to the bottom of the limiting plate, wherein the limiting plate is located on one side of the front panel.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the controller is located on one side of the horn, the horn is located on one side of the warning light, and the controller is electrically connected to the electrode contacts, the horn and the warning light via wires.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this invention enables the monitoring of moisture in the connector cavity by incorporating a monitoring component within the connector with a waterproof structure. Moisture seeps in through the gap between the connector housing and the front panel, causing condensation on the surface of the metal base plate. When there is a significant amount of moisture, electrical connections are formed between the electrode contacts, resulting in a circuit. This generates an electrical signal that is transmitted through wires to the controller, which then activates the horn and warning lights to provide alerts. This addresses the problem of simple connector structures failing to promptly detect moisture leakage, leading to electrode corrosion and compromised electrical connection stability.

[0014] This invention achieves waterproof sealing of the electrodes by incorporating a waterproof sealing component in a connector with a waterproof structure. The front panel applies pressure to the limiting plate, which in turn pushes the limiting spring. The limiting plate causes the waterproof sealing sleeve to move laterally, moving it into the inner cavity of the limiting groove. Simultaneously, the waterproof sealing sleeve moves out of the connecting electrode, allowing the front panel and the connecting electrode to connect. The waterproof sealing sleeve also seals the connecting electrode, preventing corrosion of its surface. This solves the problem of accelerated oxidation of the contact points due to moisture penetration in humid environments, which reduces conductivity and can lead to equipment interruption or even short circuits.

A monitoring component 4 is installed on the outer wall of the connecting housing 1, a waterproof sealing component 5 is installed on the inner wall of the connecting housing 1, and a fixing block 6 is installed on the opposite side wall of the female end 2, wherein a bolt 7 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 6.

[0019] In this embodiment, specific references Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The monitoring component 4 includes a sealing partition 401 and a mounting plate 402. The sealing partition 401 is embedded in the inner wall of the connecting housing 1 and is located on one side of the front panel 3. The outer wall of the sealing partition 401 has a mounting groove 403. A metal base plate 404 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 403. An electrode contact 405 is installed directly above the metal base plate 404 and on the inner wall opposite to the mounting groove 403. There is a gap between the electrode contact 405 and the metal base plate 404. The mounting plate 402 is embedded in the outer wall of the connecting housing 1. A controller 406 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate 402. A speaker 407 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate 402. A warning light 408 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate 402.

[0020] In this embodiment, specific references Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The waterproof sealing assembly 5 includes a mounting base 501, which is embedded in the inner wall of the connecting housing 1 and located on one side of the sealing partition 401. Connecting electrodes 502 are embedded in the outer wall of the mounting base 501. Multiple sets of connecting electrodes 502 are provided and located on the outer wall of the mounting base 501. A limiting groove 503 is formed on one side of the connecting electrodes 502 and on the outer wall of the mounting base 501, and a fixing groove is formed on one side of the limiting groove 503 and on the outer wall of the mounting base 501. 504. A limiting spring 505 is installed on the inner wall of the fixing groove 504. A sealing waterproof sleeve 506 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting electrode 502. The sealing waterproof sleeve 506 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 503. A limiting plate 507 is installed at one end of the sealing waterproof sleeve 506. The limiting plate 507 is located in the inner cavity of the connecting housing 1 and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting electrode 502. A limiting spring 505 is connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 507. The limiting plate 507 is located on one side of the front panel 3.

[0021] The controller 406 is located on one side of the horn 407, and the horn 407 is located on one side of the warning light 408. The controller 406 is electrically connected to the electrode contacts 405, the horn 407 and the warning light 408 via wires, so that the device is powered on and the controller 406 controls the electrode contacts 405, the horn 407 and the warning light 408 to operate.

[0022] When the connector with the waterproof structure in this solution is in operation, it is powered through the device so that the controller 406 controls the electrode contacts 405, the horn 407 and the warning light 408 to operate. The front panel 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting housing 1 by a threaded connection. When the front panel 3 moves laterally, it will press the limiting plate 507, which in turn will push the limiting spring 505. The limiting plate 507 will drive the sealing waterproof sleeve 506 to move laterally, which will move the sealing waterproof sleeve 506 into the inner cavity of the limiting groove 503. At the same time, the sealing waterproof sleeve 506 will move out of the connecting electrode 502, so that the front panel 3 and the connecting electrode 502 can be connected. At the same time, the sealing waterproof sleeve 506 will seal and waterproof the connecting electrode 502, preventing the surface of the connecting electrode 502 from being corroded. This solves the problem that the connector electrodes are prone to corrosion in humid environments due to moisture penetration, which accelerates the oxidation of the contact points, reduces conductivity, and may cause equipment interruption or even short circuit. By providing electrode contacts 405 on the inner wall of the mounting groove 403, when moisture seeps into the gap between the connecting housing 1 and the front panel 3, the moisture will condense on the surface of the metal base plate 404. When there is a lot of moisture, the metal base plate 404 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 403, and the electrode contacts 405 are installed on the inner wall opposite to the metal base plate 404. Due to the gap between the electrode contacts 405 and the metal base plate 404, an electrical connection is formed between the electrode contacts 405, which in turn creates a circuit. The electrode contacts 405 generate an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the controller 406 through the wire. The controller 406 then controls the horn 407 and the warning light 408 to operate, so that the horn 407 and the warning light 408 can provide a warning. This solves the problem that the connector has a simple structure and cannot provide timely warning of moisture leakage, which can lead to electrode corrosion and affect the stability of the electrical connection.
