Description

Waterproof connector socket

This creation is about connectors, especially a waterproof connector socket.

Most of today's electronic devices are provided with an electrical connector socket for transmitting data. The outer casing of the electronic device is generally provided with an opening, and the electrical connector socket is exposed through the opening to the electronic device for the corresponding electrical connector plug to be inserted. Transfer data.

The main structure of the conventional micro USB electrical connector socket comprises a terminal block with a terminal embedded therein and a metal shell sleeved outside the terminal block. The metal shell is provided with a snap hole, and the corresponding electrical connector plug includes a hook. The electrical connector plug is fixed to the electrical connector socket by the hook being snapped into the snap hole. A disadvantage of the conventional electrical connector socket is that the snap-in hole forms a passage for the inside of the electronic device to communicate with the outside, so that external water and moisture easily penetrate into the interior of the electronic device through the inside of the conventional electrical connector socket.

In view of this, the creator has made great efforts to solve the above problems by focusing on the above-mentioned prior art, and has devoted himself to the application of the theory, that is, the goal of the creator's improvement.

The purpose of this creation is to provide a waterproof connector socket that is constructed to prevent water and moisture from passing through its metal casing.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a waterproof connector socket including an insulating seat and a metal casing. The insulating seat includes a body and a tongue extending from the body. The metal casing has a tubular shape with two ends open, and the two ends are respectively a set end and a plug end, and the socket end is sleeved outside the body, and the plug end is arranged around the tongue and is concave on the inner side of the plug end. There is a water retaining slot.

Preferably, the waterproof connector socket has an electrical connector for plugging a connector plug including a positioning hook. When the connector plug is inserted into the plug end, the water retaining clip slot is engaged by the positioning hook.

Preferably, in the waterproof connector socket, a plurality of metal terminals are embedded in the insulating seat, and the metal terminals respectively extend from the body to the tongue.

Preferably, in the foregoing waterproof connector socket, each of the metal terminals is respectively exposed on the surface of the tongue.

Preferably, in the foregoing waterproof connector socket, each of the metal terminals respectively passes through the body.

Preferably, the waterproof connector socket further includes a waterproof ring sleeved on the outer side of the plug end.

Preferably, in the foregoing waterproof connector socket, the sleeve end sleeve is sealed with the body.

The waterproof connector socket of the present invention replaces the conventional card hole structure with a water retaining groove in the metal casing, thereby preventing water and moisture from passing through the metal casing, thereby effectively improving the disadvantages of the prior art. .

Referring to the first and second figures, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a waterproof connector receptacle that preferably conforms to the micro USB specification. In the present embodiment, the waterproof connector socket of the present invention comprises at least an insulating seat 100 and a metal casing 200, the structure of which is detailed later.

Referring to the second and third figures, the insulating base 100 is formed by plastic injection molding, and comprises a body 110 and a tongue 120. The body 110 has a rectangular block shape. The tongue piece 120 extends perpendicularly from one side of the body, and has a rectangular sheet shape.

The metal casing 200 has a tubular shape with two ends open, which is formed by bending a metal foil. The two ends of the metal casing 200 are respectively a set of connecting ends 210 and a plugging end 220. The socket end 210 is sealed and sleeved on the outer edge of the body 110 (for example, a gap is disposed between the socket end 210 and the outer edge of the body 110). The silicone or rubber gasket 101 is used to seal the body 100 from the metal casing 200. The plug end 220 is disposed around the tab 120. A water retaining slot 221 is recessed in the inner side of the plug end 220, and the water retaining slot 221 is preferably stamped. A pair of positioning legs 230 extend in opposite directions on opposite sides of the metal casing 200.

In the present embodiment, the waterproof connector of the present invention further includes a plurality of metal terminals 300 embedded in the insulating seat 100. Each of the metal terminals 300 is formed by bending a long strip of metal. The two ends of each of the metal terminals 300 are a soldering end 310 and a lap end 320, respectively. The solder end 310 of each metal terminal 300 is embedded in the body 110, and its end passes through the body 110. In this embodiment, the soldering end 310 passes through the body 110 in the direction of the vertical tongue 120 and then bends to extend in the opposite direction of the tongue 120 in the direction of the parallel tongue 120. However, the present invention does not limit the welding end 310. The form of the body 110 and its extended form after it exits the body 110. The overlapping ends 320 of the metal terminals 300 extend from the soldering end 310, and extend from the inside of the body 110 into the tongue 120, and a portion thereof is exposed on the surface of the tongue 120, and the protruding portions of the overlapping ends 320 are Arranged in a row on the surface of the tongue 120.

In the present embodiment, the waterproof connector of the present invention may further include a waterproof ring 400. The waterproof ring 400 is preferably made of silicone or rubber, and is sleeved on the outer side of the plug end 220 of the metal casing 200.

Referring to the fourth and fifth figures, in the present embodiment, the waterproof connector socket of the present invention is used to be disposed on the circuit board 20 in the electronic device 10. The insertion end 220 of the metal casing 200 is exposed to the exterior of the electronic device 10. The positioning leg 230 extending from the metal casing 200 is used for soldering to the circuit board 20, thereby fixing the present waterproof connector socket to the circuit board 20. The solder end 310 of the metal terminal 300 is soldered to the circuit board 20 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The waterproof ring 400 is sandwiched between the metal casings 200 of the metal casing 200 to seal the gap between the outside of the insertion end 220 of the metal casing 200 and the electronic device 10.

Referring to the sixth and seventh figures, the plug end 220 of the metal casing 200 is used for inserting a connector plug 30 to connect the tongue 120. The connector plug 30 preferably conforms to the waterproof connector of the present invention. Micro USB specification. The connector plug 30 includes a positioning hook 31. When the connector plug 30 is inserted into the plug end 220, the positioning hook 31 is snapped into the water retaining slot 221 of the plug end 220, thereby fixing the connector plug 30 to the metal housing. Within 200. The connector plug 30 is inserted into the metal casing 200 and the electrical connection metal terminal 300 is exposed at the overlapping end 320 of the tongue 120, so that the connector plug 30 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20 through the metal terminal 300.

In the waterproof connector socket of the present invention, the socket end 210 of the metal casing 200 is sealed with the body 110 of the insulator 100 to prevent water and moisture from penetrating into the electronic device 10 between the socket end 210 and the body 110. The plug-in end 220 of the metal casing 200 replaces the conventional snap-in hole structure with the water-blocking slot 221, thereby completely separating the space inside the metal casing 200 from the inside of the electronic device 10, so water and moisture cannot pass through the present. The created waterproof connector socket penetrates into the interior of the electronic device 10, effectively improving the shortcomings of poor waterproofness of the conventional electrical connector socket.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the patents of the present invention. Other equivalent variations of the patent spirit using the present invention are all within the scope of the patent.
