Description

방수 전원 커넥터{ WATER FLOOF ELECTRIC CONNECTOR }Waterproof Power Connector {WATER FLOOF ELECTRIC CONNECTOR}

본 고안은 방수 전원 커넥터에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a waterproof power connector.

건축공사 현장에서는 각종 전기 공구를 사용하기 때문에 분전반으로부터 여러 가닥의 전원선이 배전되어 있고 또 공사장의 범위가 확장됨에 따라 전원으로부터 거리가 멀어지기 때문에 커넥터를 이용하여 전원선을 연장하여 조명이나 각종 전기공구등을 접속하여 작업을 하고 있다.Since various electric tools are used at the construction site, several strands of power lines are distributed from the distribution panel, and the distance from the power source increases as the scope of the construction site expands. I am working by connecting tools.

공사장에는 노천의 경우가 많고 우천(雨天)에는 빗물이 바닥에 흐르기 때문에 특별히 전원 커넥터의 접속부에 침수로 인한 누전이나 감전의 위험을 방지하기 위하여 방수기능이 강화되고 있다.In the construction site, there are many cases of open air, and in rainy weather, rainwater flows to the floor, and the waterproof function is strengthened to prevent the risk of electric leakage or electric shock due to the inundation of the power connector.

본 고안과 관련이 있는 방수 커넥터의 선행기술의 한 예로, 본 고안자가 등록을 받은 실용신안공보 제20-0432574호(2006. 12. 05공고)의 전원 커넥터의 방수 어뎁터는 커넥터의 소켓에 전기공구의 플럭을 직접 끼워 사용하는 경우, 공구의 플럭에는 방수수단이 구비되어 있지 않기 때문에 탄성질의 어댑터에 의한 밀착성에 의해 방수하게 되어 있다.As an example of the prior art of the waterproof connector related to the present invention, the waterproof adapter of the power connector of Utility Model Publication No. 20-0432574 (published Dec. 05, 2006), which the inventor has registered, is an electric tool in the socket of the connector. In the case of using the plug directly, the plug of the tool is not provided with a waterproofing means, so that it is waterproof due to the adhesiveness of the elastic adapter.

그러나 종래의 커넥터의 방수수단은 탄성질의 소켓에 플럭을 결합하면 소켓의 탄성체가 플럭에 밀착되어 방수하게 되어 있으나, 커넥터의 소켓과 플럭의 결합력이 미비하여, 작업 중 작업장 범위가 확장됨에 따라 무의식적으로 작업인이 불의하게 커넥터의 도선을 당기는 경우, 커넥터가 분리되는 등 커넥터의 안전성이 미흡한 문제점이 있었다.However, in the conventional waterproof means of the connector, when the plug is coupled to the resilient socket, the elastic body of the socket is tightly adhered to the flop, but the coupling force between the socket and the plug of the connector is inadequate. When the worker unintentionally pulls the lead of the connector, there is a problem that the safety of the connector is insufficient, such as the connector is separated.

본 고안은 종래의 이러한 문제점을 시정하기 위하여, 소켓과 플럭이 일조로 된 전원 커넥터에 있어서, 커넥터의 소켓에 밀착되는 탄성질의 내부 캡과 소켓의 돌조와 결합되는 경사진 결합편을 가진 외부 캡으로 된 방수 캡을 커넥터의 소켓과 플럭에 각각 형성하여 구성된 것이다.The present invention, in order to correct this problem in the prior art, in the power connector is a combination of the socket and the plug, the outer cap having an elastic inner cap that is in close contact with the socket of the connector and an inclined coupling piece coupled with the protrusion of the socket Formed on the socket and the plug of the connector respectively.

본 고안은 커넥터의 소켓에 커넥터의 플럭을 삽입하여 압착하면, 플럭에 형성된 방수 캡의 탄성질 내부 캡이 소켓의 개구부에 밀착된다. 또한 방수 캡의 외부 캡을 일측으로 틀면, 외부 캡의 결합편이 소켓의 돌조와 상대적으로 결합되면서 결합편과 돌조의 경사면에 따라 외부 캡이 내부 캡을 더욱 강하게 압착하여 소켓의 개구부를 견고하게 밀폐하여 방수성을 높인다.In the present invention, when the plug of the connector is inserted into the socket of the connector and pressed, the elastic inner cap of the waterproof cap formed on the plug is in close contact with the opening of the socket. In addition, when the outer cap of the waterproof cap is turned to one side, the engaging piece of the outer cap is relatively engaged with the protrusion of the socket, and the outer cap compresses the inner cap more strongly according to the inclined surface of the engaging piece and the protrusion, thereby tightly sealing the opening of the socket. Increase the waterproofness.

또 캡의 결합편과 돌조가 결합되어 있기 때문에 커넥터의 도선을 불의하게 당겨도 접속된 커넥터가 분리되지 않으므로 커넥터의 안전성이 보다 향상된다.In addition, since the engaging piece of the cap and the protrusion are engaged, the connected connector is not separated even if the lead wire of the connector is unintentionally pulled, thereby improving the safety of the connector.

또 커넥터를 분리하고자 할 경우에는 외부 캡을 타측으로 틀어, 결합편과 돌조를 분리하면, 플럭과 소켓이 간단하게 분리될 수 있다.In addition, when the connector is to be removed, the outer cap is turned to the other side, and when the coupling piece and the protrusion are separated, the plug and the socket can be easily separated.

또 커넥터의 플럭과 소켓을 분리한 경우에는 항시 전원에 연결되어 있는 커넥터의 소켓에 형성된 방수 캡으로 소켓을 닫으며, 방수 캡의 닫는 동작은 상기한 플럭의 방수 캡의 경우와 동일하다.When the plug and the socket of the connector are separated, the socket is closed by a waterproof cap formed on the socket of the connector which is always connected to the power source, and the closing operation of the waterproof cap is the same as the case of the waterproof cap of the above-described plug.

따라서 커넥터가 연결되어 있거나 분리된 경우에도 항상 방수 캡에 의하여 커넥터의 소켓을 안전하게 밀폐 유지하기 때문에 방수성이 유지되어 침수의 우려가 없고 접속된 커넥터는 그대로는 분리되지 않으므로 커넥터의 안전성과 효용성이 보다 향상된다.Therefore, even when the connector is connected or disconnected, the socket of the connector is safely sealed by the waterproof cap at all times, so the waterproofness is maintained and there is no fear of flooding, and the connected connector is not detached as it is, thus improving the safety and utility of the connector. do.

본 고안은 커넥터의 소켓과 플럭 측에 각각 탄성질의 내부 캡과 결합편을 가진 외부 캡으로 된 방수 캡을 각각 형성하여, 커넥터의 결합 시. 또는 분리 시에 각각 방수 캡에 의하여 소켓을 밀폐 유지할 수 있게 구성하였기 때문에 커넥터의 방수성이 양호하고 연결성이 안전하여 종래의 커넥터에 비하여 보다 안전하고 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 여러 가지 효과가 있다.The present invention forms a waterproof cap made of an elastic inner cap and an outer cap each having a coupling piece on the socket and the floc sides of the connector, respectively, when the connector is coupled. Alternatively, since the sockets can be kept sealed by the waterproof caps, respectively, when the separation is performed, there are various effects that the connector has good waterproofness and safety of connection, which can be used more safely and usefully than the conventional connectors.
