Waterproof Connector With Intermediary Guide Sleeve
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional connectors face challenges in achieving effective waterproofing and stable signal transmission, particularly due to issues with silicone coatings and the use of waterproof gaskets, which can affect assembly and conductive efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A connector design incorporating a main base body with a guide sleeve and a conductive module featuring a central pin with a chamfered sleeve and a second waterproof gasket, along with an insulation structure and elastic elements, enhances waterproofing and signal stability by using a combination of chamfers and elastic elements to secure the waterproof gasket and maintain signal integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a waterproof gasket is directly clamped between components to achieve waterproofing, then the waterproof effect is improved, but the assembly becomes difficult and the fixed position may be offset, affecting the joint condition and conductive efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a guide element with a receiving seat as an intermediary structure between the connecting element and the waterproof gasket. The receiving seat pre-positions the waterproof gasket in the correct location, eliminating the need for direct clamping between components. This intermediary structure ensures proper alignment and makes assembly easier while maintaining effective waterproofing.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide element with receiving seat performs preliminary positioning of the waterproof gasket before final assembly. By pre-establishing the correct position of the gasket through the receiving seat, the patent avoids position offsets during assembly and ensures proper joint conditions are achieved before the waterproof gasket is fully secured.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a waterproof gasket is directly clamped between components to achieve waterproofing, then the waterproof effect is improved, but the joint condition of the connector and conductive efficiency are affected
Solution Approach 1:
The guide element with receiving seat acts as an intermediary that separates the waterproofing function from the conductive connection. By positioning the waterproof gasket through the receiving seat rather than direct clamping, the patent ensures that the gasket does not interfere with the electrical contact between conductive elements, thereby maintaining conductive efficiency while achieving waterproofing.
