BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly, to a connector
with water-proof capability.
2. Description of Related Art
[0002] Connectors have been extensively used in various industries as well as mechanical
and electrical apparatuses to allow users to therethrough rapidly transmit data, signals
and electric power as desired. The advent of connectors speeds up receipt of data
and makes people's daily life more conveniences.
[0003] Connectors are widely applicable, and many applications thereof in our daily life
need connectors to be exposed in the atmosphere. Since a connector implements conductive
terminals as contacts for electrical connection, two coupled connectors without any
water-proof structure therebetween are likely to, due to damp or moisture, have a
short circuit that may destroy the transmission of the connectors and make the connectors
unusable.
[0004] In addition, two coupled connectors without any reinforcing structure therebetween
for securing the connection are likely to be disconnected under an external impact
and have the transmission accidentally interrupted. As an even worse consequence,
electric leakage may take place between the connectors and bring a user who touches
the terminals with the risk of an electric shock or other accidents.
[0005] An example of a connector is disclosed by
DE 203 11 182 U1, which describes an electrical connecting plug having an in-line cable connection
and a cylindrical housing. The plug has a central guide pin which can be inserted
into a connecting socket bush. Projecting from the main body of the cylindrical housing
is a pair of latching hooks that have locking hooks at their tips that latch onto
the bush and ensure the correct positioning of the connector in the bush.
[0006] It is the object of the present invention to provide a water-proof connector assembly
that has a reinforced structure and improve connecting and water-resistant properties.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] This object is solved by the water-proof connector assembly according to claim 1.
Advantageous improvements are described by dependent claims.
[0008] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior arts mentioned above, the present invention
provides a water-proof connector assembly. The water-proof connector assembly comprises
a first connecting device, a second connecting device and a fastener, wherein the
first connecting device, the second connecting device and the fastener are assembled
along a predetermined axis. The first connecting device includes a first casing, a
male conductive terminal, a water-resisting member and a first screwing member. The
second connecting device includes a second casing, a female conductive terminal, a
second water-proof sleeve and a second screwing member. The aforementioned first casing,
the second casing and the fastener are all tubular in shape.
[0009] The first casing has a first inner hole along the above-mentioned predetermined axis.
The first casing includes a first section, a second section, a third section and a
fourth section along the predetermined axis. The second section is sunken inwardly
to form a pair of recessed portions. The first section has a pair of through holes
along the predetermined axis. Each of the pair of through holes passes through each
of the pair of recessed portion to a pair of first openings. The pair of recessed
portions further includes a pair of first retaining areas, which are disposed at a
pair of outer sides of the pair of first openings.
[0010] The second casing has a second inner hole along the above-mentioned predetermined
axis. The second casing includes a fifth section, a sixth section and a seventh section
along the predetermined axis. The fifth section is engaged with the first inner hole
of the first casing. The second casing further comprises a pair of retaining arms,
which are extended from a top of the sixth section along the predetermined axis and
located outside the fifth section. The pair of retaining arms has a pair of terminals
projecting outwardly to form a pair of projecting portions.
[0011] The pair of projecting portions has a pair of second retaining areas formed at a
side adjacent to each of the pair of retaining arm. Each of the pair of projecting
portions are passed through each of the pair of through holes of the first casing
to engage with each of the pair of recessed portions.
[0012] The fastener has a third inner hole along the above-mentioned predetermined axis.
The fastener is mounted around the first section and the second section of the first
casing, thereby the fastener is movable on a first outer surface of the first section
and the second section between a predetermined first position and a predetermined
second position. In addition, the fastener has a pair of tongues along the predetermined
axis. Therefore, when the fastener is located at the predetermined first position
on the assembled first connecting device and the second connecting device, each of
the pair of tongues is positioned below each of the pair of projecting portions of
the second casing. When the fastener is located at the predetermined second position,
each of the pair of tongues is no more positioned below each of the pair of projecting
portions of the second casing.
[0013] Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a water-proof
connector assembly. The water-proof connector assembly comprises a first connecting
device, a second connecting device and a fastener. The first connecting device includes
a first casing, which has a first section, a second section, a pair of recessed portions
and a pair of first retaining areas. The second connecting device includes a second
casing, which has a pair of projecting portions and a pair of second retaining areas.
The fastener has a pair of tongues and is mounted around the first section and the
second section of the first casing. The fastener is movable on a first outer surface
of the first section and the second section between a predetermined first position
and a predetermined second position. Therefore, when the fastener is located at the
predetermined first position on the assembled first connecting device and the second
connecting device, each of the pair of tongues is positioned below each of the pair
of projecting portions of the second casing. Besides, each of the pair of second retaining
areas of each of the pair of projecting portions contacts with each of the pair of
first retaining areas of the first casing. Hence, the water-proof connector assembly
of the present invention implements the fastener to secure connection between the
first connecting device and the second connecting device, which is unlikely to loose
or be taken apart due to external impact or unintentional force, so as to ensure durable
electrical conductivity of the water-proof connector assembly.
[0014] Another object of the present invention is to provide a water-proof connector assembly.
The water-proof connector assembly comprises a first connecting device, a second connecting
device and a fastener. The first connecting device includes a first casing, which
has a first section, a second section. The first section has a pair of second retaining
holes. The second connecting device includes a second casing, which has a sixth section.
The sixth section has a pair of first retaining holes. The fastener further includes
a pair of teeth extruded inwardly from a wall of the third inner hole. The fastener
is mounted around the first section and the second section of the first casing. The
fastener is movable on a first outer surface of the first section and the second section
between a predetermined first position and a predetermined second position. When the
fastener is located at the predetermined first position, each of the pair of teeth
engages with each of the pair of first retaining holes. Hence, the water-proof connector
assembly of the present invention implements the fastener to secure connection between
the first connecting device and the second connecting device via the pair of teeth,
which is unlikely to loose or be taken apart due to external impact or unintentional
force, so as to ensure durable electrical conductivity of the water-proof connector
assembly.
[0015] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a water-proof connector
assembly. The water-proof connector assembly comprises a first connecting device,
a second connecting device and a fastener. The first connecting device includes a
first casing, which has a first section, a second section. The first section has a
pair of second retaining holes. The second connecting device includes a second casing,
which has a sixth section. The sixth section has a pair of first retaining holes.
The fastener further includes a pair of teeth extruded inwardly from a wall of the
third inner hole. The fastener is mounted around the first section and the second
section of the first casing. The fastener is movable on a first outer surface of the
first section and the second section between a predetermined first position and a
predetermined second position. When the fastener is located at the predetermined second
position, each of the pair of teeth engages with each of the pair of second retaining
holes so that the fastener uses the pair of teeth to firmly hold the first section
and the second section of the first casing without hindering the connection between
the first connecting device and the second connecting device.
[0016] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a water-proof connector
assembly. The water-proof connector assembly comprises a first connecting device,
a second connecting device and a fastener. While the first connecting device has a
first water-proof sleeve, the second connecting device has a second water-proof sleeve.
Therefore, in virtue of the first water-proof sleeve and the second water-proof sleeve,
damp or moisture is blocked from entering the first connecting device and the second
connecting device, thereby improving the water-proof connector assembly in water-proof
ability and service life.
