Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Type-C connector plug technology, specifically a sealing structure for a Type-C connector plug. Background Technology

[0002] As a core connection component of current electronic devices (such as smartphones, laptops, fast chargers, and industrial control terminals), Type-C connectors bear the dual functions of high-speed data transmission and high-power power supply. The sealing performance of its connector directly determines the stability and lifespan of the device. In daily scenarios, when charging a mobile phone, the connector is easily exposed to sweat from the palm and dust from the desktop. In industrial scenarios, the connector may face workshop oil stains and high-temperature environments. If the seal is not good, dust, liquids, or corrosive substances will seep into the connection gap between the connector body and the shell, causing oxidation and corrosion of the internal metal contacts, resulting in charging interruptions, data transmission delays, and even short circuits that damage the equipment. Therefore, a sealing structure is required. However, the current sealing structure of Type-C connectors relies on a single rubber ring to achieve a seal. The connection gap is easily widened by the vibration of insertion and removal, resulting in poor sealing performance. To address this, we propose a sealing structure for Type-C connectors. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sealing structure for a Type-C connector plug, which has the advantage of good sealing effect and solves the problem that the current Type-C connector plug sealing structure relies on a single rubber ring to achieve sealing, and the connection gap is easily expanded due to insertion and removal vibration, resulting in poor sealing effect.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sealing structure for a Type-C connector plug, comprising a connector body and a housing, wherein a plug is fixedly connected to the left side of the connector body, a slot is provided on the right side of the housing, the plug is movably connected to the inner cavity of the slot, a first sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the right side of the housing, a second sealing groove is provided on the right side of the first sealing gasket, a first sealing groove is provided on the left side of the connector body, the first sealing gasket is movably connected to the inner cavity of the first sealing groove, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner cavity of the first sealing groove, a spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic rod, a movable plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the telescopic rod, a second sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the left side of the movable plate, and the second sealing gasket is movably connected to the inner cavity of the second sealing groove.

[0005] Preferably, the first sealing gasket includes a first wear-resistant layer, a second wear-resistant layer, a high-temperature resistant layer, an anti-aging layer, and a substrate layer. The first wear-resistant layer is a polytetrafluoroethylene modified composite material, the second wear-resistant layer is a modified polyetheretherketone, the high-temperature resistant layer is a mica paper composite silicone rubber, and the anti-aging layer is EPDM rubber.

[0006] Preferably, the substrate layer is nitrile rubber, and the first and second sealing gaskets are made of the same material.

[0007] Preferably, the first wear-resistant layer is located outside the second wear-resistant layer, and the second wear-resistant layer is located outside the high-temperature resistant layer.

[0008] Preferably, the high-temperature resistant layer is located outside the anti-aging layer, and the anti-aging layer is located outside the substrate layer.

[0009] Preferably, the left side of the spring is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable plate, and the right side of the spring is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner cavity of the first sealing groove.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The first sealing gasket on the right side of the plug housing of this utility model can be embedded in the first sealing groove on the left side of the connector body to form the first sealing barrier, directly blocking external dust and liquid from entering the connection gap between the plug and the slot, and preventing the metal contacts from being contaminated; at the same time, the telescopic rod in the first sealing groove cooperates with the spring to push the movable plate and the second sealing gasket on the left side to fit tightly into the second sealing groove on the right side of the first sealing gasket, forming a second seal. Compared with the traditional single seal, the sealing redundancy is significantly improved. Even if the sealing gasket is slightly worn after long-term use, the rebound performance of the spring can still push the second sealing gasket to compensate for the gap and prevent the seal from loosening.

[0011] 2. The first and second wear-resistant layers of this utility model can withstand the friction caused by high-frequency insertion and removal, preventing rapid wear on the surface of the first sealing gasket. The middle high-temperature resistant layer can withstand the high temperature during connector operation, preventing the first sealing gasket from hardening and deforming due to high temperature. The inner anti-aging layer can resist oxidation and environmental erosion during long-term use, preventing the first sealing gasket from cracking. The substrate layer ensures that the first sealing gasket has good elasticity and fit, ensuring tight contact of the sealing surface. Moreover, the first and second sealing gaskets are made of the same material, which can withstand the test of the usage environment at the same time, further extending the service life of the overall sealing structure.

[0017] In this technical solution, the first sealing gasket 5 on the right side of the plug shell 2 can be embedded in the first sealing groove 7 on the left side of the connector body 1 to form the first sealing barrier, directly blocking external dust and liquid from entering the connection gap between the plug 4 and the slot 3, thus preventing the metal contacts from being contaminated.

Compared with the traditional single seal, the sealing redundancy is significantly improved. Even if the sealing gasket is slightly worn after long-term use, the rebound performance of the spring 9 can still push the second sealing gasket 6 to compensate for the gap and prevent the seal from loosening. Example 2:

[0018] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown, the first sealing gasket 5 includes a first wear-resistant layer 501, a second wear-resistant layer 502, a high-temperature resistant layer 503, an anti-aging layer 504, and a substrate layer 505.

[0019] The first wear-resistant layer 501 and the second wear-resistant layer 502 of this technical solution can withstand the friction caused by high-frequency insertion and removal, avoiding rapid wear on the surface of the first sealing gasket 5. The middle high-temperature resistant layer 503 can withstand the high temperature during connector operation, preventing the first sealing gasket 5 from hardening and deforming due to high temperature.

The substrate layer 505 ensures that the first sealing gasket 5 has good elasticity and fit, ensuring tight contact of the sealing surface. Moreover, the first sealing gasket 5 and the second sealing gasket 6 are made of the same material, which can withstand the test of the usage environment at the same time, further extending the service life of the overall sealing structure.

[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The first sealing gasket 5 on the right side of the insert shell 2 can be embedded into the first sealing groove 7 on the left side of the connector body 1, forming the first sealing barrier, directly blocking external dust and liquid from entering the connection gap between the plug 4 and the slot 3, and preventing the metal contacts from being contaminated; at the same time, the telescopic rod 8 in the first sealing groove 7 cooperates with the spring 9 to push the movable plate 10 and the second sealing gasket 6 on the left side to fit tightly against the second sealing groove 11 on the right side of the first sealing gasket 5, forming the second seal. Compared with the traditional single seal, the sealing redundancy is significantly improved. Even if the sealing gasket is slightly worn after long-term use, the rebound performance of the spring 9 can still push the second sealing gasket 6 to compensate for the gap. To prevent loosening of the seal, the first wear-resistant layer 501 and the second wear-resistant layer 502 can withstand the friction caused by high-frequency insertion and removal, preventing rapid wear on the surface of the first sealing gasket 5. The middle high-temperature resistant layer 503 can withstand the high temperature during connector operation, preventing the first sealing gasket 5 from hardening and deforming due to high temperature. The inner anti-aging layer 504 can resist oxidation and environmental erosion during long-term use, preventing the first sealing gasket 5 from cracking. The substrate layer 505 ensures that the first sealing gasket 5 has good elasticity and fit, ensuring tight contact of the sealing surface.
