4 is another perspective assembled view of the waterproof and dustproof socket of FIG. 3.

FIG. 5 is another perspective view of the waterproof and dustproof socket of FIG. 3 and partially cut away.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a waterproof and dustproof socket 100 can be inserted into a second connector 200, and the second connector 200 can be a rectangular parallelepiped, a cylinder or other shape. . The socket 100 includes a panel 20, a sealing plug 30 and a first connector 50.

The panel 20 is provided with an opening 22. The shape of the opening 22 can be rectangular, circular or other shape.

The sealing plug 30 is provided with a slot 36, a through hole 32 and a receiving space 34. The receiving space 34 is located at one side of the through hole 32, and the receiving space 34 communicates with the through hole 32. The shape of the sealing plug 30 is the same as the shape of the opening 22 to facilitate the sealing of the sealing plug 30 with the opening 22. The width of the card slot 36 is equal to the thickness of the panel 20. The area of the through hole 32 is smaller than the area of the plug end of the second connector 200. The sealing plug 30 is made of an elastic material such as rubber.

The first connector 50 includes a body 52 and a housing 54. The body 52 includes a plurality of terminals 520. The outer casing 54 includes an upper cover 542 and a lower cover 544. The lower cover 544 is provided with a plurality of retaining holes 5440. The connecting surface of the upper cover 542 and the lower cover 544 has the same shape. The lateral cross-sectional area of the outer casing 54 is greater than the transverse cross-sectional area of the receiving space 34. The insertion direction of the first connector 50 and the second connector 200 is perpendicular to the panel 20.

Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 , when assembled, the body 52 of the first connector 50 is placed on the lower cover 544 , and the terminal 520 of the body 52 passes through the retaining hole 5440 of the lower cover 544 . The terminal 520 and the retaining hole 5440 are filled with a sealant so that there is no gap between the terminal 520 and the retaining hole 5440, thereby preventing water and dust. The upper cover 542 is fixed to the lower cover 544. At this time, the terminal 520 is provided with a surface of the retaining hole 5440 perpendicular to the lower cover 544. The sealing plug 30 extends into the opening 22 and the edge of the opening 22 snaps into the card slot 36 such that the sealing plug 30 is mounted to the panel 20.

The housing 54 and the body 52 are received in the receiving space 34 of the sealing plug 30 away from the end of the through hole 32. Because the lateral cross-sectional area of the outer casing 54 is larger than the transverse cross-sectional area of the receiving space 34 of the sealing plug 30 away from the end of the through hole 32, and the sealing plug 30 has elasticity, the outer casing 54 and the sealing plug 30 are It can work closely with water and dust.

In use, the second connector 200 passes through the through hole 32 of the sealing plug 30 and is inserted into the first connector 50. The area of the through hole 32 is smaller than the area of the plug end of the second connector 200, so that the second connector 200 and the sealing plug 30 are closely matched to function as a waterproof and dustproof.

Compared with the prior art, the waterproof and dustproof socket includes a sealing plug 30, and the outer casing 54 is closely matched with the sealing plug 30 to function as a waterproof and dustproof, and the sealing plug 30 can be coupled with the second connector 200. The close fit acts as a waterproof and dustproof.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
