Abstract:
A connector protection device includes a base plate, two connectors assembled at the base plate, a pivot shaft assembled at the base plate, a protection cover, a torsion spring assembled at the pivot shaft and a pressing button. The protection cover includes a connecting portion assembled at the pivot shaft and two covers, wherein each of the covers corresponds to one of the connectors. The torsion spring has one end abutting against the base plate and the other end abutting against the connecting portion. The pressing button is provided between the two covers, and has one end abutting against the connecting portion. The torsion spring applies a force on the connecting portion such that the covers tilt above and cover the connectors. When pressed downwards, the pressing button pushes the connecting portion to rotate in reverse, further driving the covers to rotate in reverse to expose the connectors.
