Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a wire-free network module and a wire clamping cover. Background Technology

[0002] A network module is used to establish a connection between two cables, or between a cable and an appliance or electronic product.

[0003] To ensure a stable connection between the cable and the network module, cable ties are usually used to secure the cable and network module when connecting them.

[0004] Most existing network modules rely on outward-extending clamps at the end of their interfaces. After the cable is inserted into the clamp, it is secured to the clamp with cable ties. Consequently, the cable tying mechanism is mostly located on the outside of the network module, resulting in a relatively large overall length. This makes installation in confined spaces inconvenient and causes significant inconvenience for users. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide a wire-free network module and a wire clamping cover.

[0006] The cable-free network module of the present invention includes a female base and a fastening part connected to the female base. The female base and the fastening part form a receiving cavity. The fastening part is provided with a through hole for a cable to pass through. The fastening part includes at least one first fastening member hinged to the female base. It also includes: a cable clip located within the receiving cavity and movable toward a direction close to or away from the cable passing through the through hole of the fastening part; the cable clip including a sheet-like base with an arc-shaped positioning edge on the side of the base near the cable and at least two slots on at least one side of the base; and a snap-fit ​​part having at least one snap-fit ​​protrusion that engages with the slots. The snap-fit ​​part is located within the receiving cavity of the cable-free network module. An opening is provided on the fastening part at a position corresponding to the end of the base of the cable clip away from the cable. The cable clip moves toward the cable by passing through the opening and applying force to the cable clip. This invention achieves the engagement of the wire clip and the cable by setting a wire clip and cooperating the slot on the wire clip with the clip connector, thus eliminating the need for a wire tie structure at the end of the wire-free network module. Furthermore, the wire clip of this invention is located inside the wire-free network module, thereby reducing the overall length of the wire-free network module. Since the base of the wire clip is set as a sheet, the overall length of the wire-free network module is reduced to the greatest extent.

[0007] Furthermore, the cable clamp also includes a locking flange disposed along the positioning edge and connected to the base. The locking flange extends along the length of the cable and extends toward the side surface of the base away from where the locking slot is provided. Therefore, the cable clamp clamps the cable by engaging the locking protrusion with the positioning edge on one side surface, and the extension direction of the locking flange is toward the other side surface of the base of the cable clamp. This effectively utilizes the internal space of the cable-free network module, reduces its overall length along the cable length direction, and ensures sufficient cable fixation.

[0008] Furthermore, the slot has a guide ramp and a stop surface, and the engaging protrusion has a engaging surface and a stop surface. The stop surface of the slot can abut against the stop surface of the engaging protrusion. Therefore, during engagement, the guide ramp of the slot contacts the engaging surface of the engaging protrusion and moves forward along the engaging surface, thus engaging the engaging protrusion into the slot. After the cable is engaged, when the base of the cable clip moves away from the cable due to the expansion force of the cable, the stop surface of the slot abuts against the stop surface of the engaging protrusion, thereby ensuring that the cable clip will not move backward, thus achieving the engagement and fixation of the cable.

[0009] Furthermore, an adjustment groove is provided in the receiving cavity to cooperate with the base, and the base can move along the adjustment groove toward or away from the cable.

[0010] Furthermore, at least one groove is provided on the base, and a slider that matches and connects to the groove is disposed within the adjustment groove. This ensures that the cable clamp moves smoothly toward the cable and can clamp the cable securely.

[0011] Furthermore, a wire clamping cover is also provided within the receiving cavity, and the snap-fit ​​portion is disposed on the wire clamping cover. Therefore, by utilizing the wire clamping cover structure originally disposed within the network module, the length dimension of the network module is minimized to the greatest extent possible.

[0012] Furthermore, an adjustment gap is provided on the wire clamping cover near the locking part. The adjustment gap is located on the front side of the locking part when it is pressed down, thus providing sufficient adjustment space when the locking part is under force, ensuring that the locking part can smoothly engage into the target slot when the wire clamp moves forward.

[0013] Furthermore, the adjustment groove is disposed on the first fastening member, and the snap-fit ​​portion is disposed on the inner wall of the adjustment groove. Therefore, by disposing of the adjustment groove on the first fastening member, and in conjunction with the sheet-like base structure of the cable clip, the overall length of the cable-free network module is not increased due to the need for a separate structure for fixing the snap-fit ​​portion within the cable-free module. Moreover, since the adjustment groove is disposed on the first fastening member, the cable can be quickly positioned by flipping the first fastening member.

[0014] Furthermore, a wire support can be detachably installed within the receiving cavity, and an arc-shaped edge b is provided on the side of the wire support near the base, which is opposite to the positioning edge.

[0015] Furthermore, a connecting core is also provided within the receiving cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting functional core includes: a wire clamping terminal, a PCB board, a set of wire clamping blades, and a functional insert. One end of the wire clamping blade is provided with a wire clamping fisheye hole, and the other end is provided with a set of cable piercing bevels. The wire clamping terminal includes a wire clamping blade mounting groove, and the wire clamping blade is installed in the wire clamping blade mounting groove corresponding to the wire clamping terminal. One end of the functional insert is provided with a set of fisheye crimping ends, and the functional insert and the wire clamping blade are crimped into the corresponding slots on the PCB board through the fisheye crimping ends.

[0017] Furthermore, the female seat has an installation port at one end for connecting with the fastener part, and a plug insertion interface at the other end opposite to the installation port. At the end of the female seat near the installation port, there is a fastener part hanging groove that is at least connected to the fastener part.

[0018] Furthermore, a dustproof mechanism is provided at the plug-in insertion port. This prevents dust from entering the network module.

[0019] The present invention also provides a wire clamping cover, including a main cover body, a through hole for a cable to pass through, and at least one snap-fit ​​part on the main cover body, the snap-fit ​​part including a snap-fit ​​protrusion, the snap-fit ​​part being used to cooperate with a wire clamp to move the wire clamp toward the direction of the cable.

[0020] Furthermore, the no-crushing cable cover has a cable installation through hole in the middle, and the bottom of the no-crushing cable cover has at least one cable installation groove, at least one pair of installation positioning grooves and at least one cable cover installation positioning post, and also includes a cable crimping surface arranged adjacent to the cable installation groove.

[0021] The present invention also provides a wire-free network module, which includes the aforementioned wire clamping cover. Attached Figure Description

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more explicit definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] Example 1:

[0047] See appendix Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a cable-free network module, which includes a female connector 1 and a fastener 2 connected to the female connector 1. The fastener 2 can be fastened to the female connector 1 to form a receiving cavity. A connecting core 7, a wire clip 3 and a snap-fit ​​part 4 are provided in the receiving cavity.

[0048] The fastener part 2 of the present invention is provided with a through hole for a cable to pass through, and the fastener part 2 includes at least one first fastening member 21 that is hinged to the female seat 1 and can rotate relative to the female seat 1.

[0049] See appendix Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the cable clip 3 of the present invention can move toward the direction of the cable passing through the through hole of the fastener part 2. The cable clip 3 includes a sheet-like base 31, an arc-shaped positioning edge 32 is provided on the side of the base 31 near the cable, and at least two slots 311 are provided on the surface of at least one side of the base 31. When the cable is clipped using the cable clip 3, the cable clip 3 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the cable.

[0050] See appendix Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit ​​portion 4 of the present invention has at least one snap-fit ​​protrusion 41 that can engage with the snap-fit ​​groove 311. An opening 23 is provided on the fastener portion 2 of the present invention at a position corresponding to the end of the base 31 of the cable clip 3 furthest from the cable (see attached diagram). Figure 5 As shown, by using a tool and passing it through the opening 23, force is applied to the wire clip 3, causing it to move towards the cable. This invention achieves the engagement of the wire clip 3 with the cable by setting the wire clip 3 and engaging the slot 311 on the wire clip 3 with the engaging part 4. This eliminates the need for a cable tie structure at the end of the cable-free network module. Furthermore, the wire clip 3 is located inside the cable-free network module, eliminating the need for a separate cable tie structure at the outer end of the network module. Therefore, the overall length of the cable-free network module is smaller. Since the base 31 of the wire clip 3 is plate-shaped, the overall length of the cable-free network module is minimized. When clamping the cable, simply push the wire clip 3 towards the axis of the cable; the engagement of the slot 311 and the engaging protrusion 41 quickly clamps the cable.

[0051] In some embodiments of the invention, the width of the slit in the opening 23 may be smaller than the thickness of the base 31, thereby preventing the wire clip 3 from protruding from the opening 23. In other possible embodiments, the width of the slit in the opening 23 may also be greater than the thickness of the base 31.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the wire clip 3 further includes a clip engagement edge 33 disposed along the positioning edge 32 and connected to the base 31 (again, in conjunction with the attached drawing). Figure 2 As shown, the locking flange 33 extends along the length of the cable, and the locking flange 33 extends toward the side surface of the base 31 away from where the locking groove 311 is provided. Therefore, the cable clip 3 clamps the cable by engaging the locking protrusion 41 with the positioning flange 32 on one side surface of the cable clip 3, and the extension direction of the locking flange 33 is toward the other side surface of the base 31 of the cable clip 3. Thus, the internal space of the cable-free network module can be effectively utilized, its overall length along the cable length direction can be reduced, and sufficient fixation of the cable can be ensured.

[0053] Combined again with the appendix Figure 4 , 13As shown in Figure 14, in some embodiments of the present invention, the slot 311 has a guide slope 3111 and a stop surface 3112, and the engaging protrusion 41 has a engaging surface 411 and a stop surface 412. The stop surface 3112 of the slot 311 can abut against the stop surface 412 of the engaging protrusion 41. Therefore, during engagement, the guide slope 3111 of the slot 311 contacts the engaging surface 411 of the engaging protrusion 41 and moves forward along the engaging surface 411, thereby engaging the engaging protrusion 41 into the slot of the slot 311. After the cable is engaged, when the base 31 of the cable clip 3 moves away from the cable due to the expansion force of the cable, the stop surface 3112 of the slot 311 abuts against the stop surface 412 of the engaging protrusion 41, thereby ensuring that the cable clip 3 will not retract, and thus achieving the engagement and fixation of the cable.

[0054] See appendix Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an adjustment groove 5 that cooperates with the base 31 is also provided in the receiving cavity. The base 31 is located in the adjustment groove 5 and can move along the adjustment groove 5 in a direction closer to or away from the cable.

[0055] In some possible embodiments, at least one groove 34 may be provided on the base 31, and a slider 51 that matches and connects to the groove 34 is provided on the inner side of the groove wall of the adjusting groove 5. The slider 51 can be embedded in the groove 34. Therefore, when the cable clamp 3 moves toward the cable, the slider 51 cooperates with the groove 34 and moves along the groove 34, thereby ensuring that the cable clamp 3 moves smoothly toward the cable and can achieve centering when clamping the cable. A limit point 35 is also provided at the end of the groove 34, located at the end of the base 31 away from the positioning edge 32 (again, in conjunction with the attached...). Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this ensures that the line card will not become detached from the main body of the network module.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, a wire clamping cover 6 is also provided in the receiving cavity, and a snap-fit ​​portion 4 is provided on the wire clamping cover 6. Therefore, after the base 31 of the wire clip 3 is engaged with the snap-fit ​​portion 4, a secure fixation of the cable can be ensured even if the fastener portion 2 is opened. Moreover, the wire clamping cover 6 is a structure that is already provided in network modules in conventional technology, so the length of the main body of the network module will not change significantly due to the provision of the snap-fit ​​portion 4.

[0057] See appendix Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, an adjustment gap 61 is also provided on the wire clamping cover 6 near the snap-fit ​​part 4. The adjustment gap 61 is located on the front side of the snap-fit ​​part 4 when it is pressed down, so that when the wire clamp is moved forward (to attach...) Figure 4When the direction indicated by the middle arrow is "forward", the locking part 4 can provide sufficient adjustment space when under force, ensuring that when the wire clip 3 moves forward, the locking part 4 can smoothly lock into the target slot 311.

[0058] The number of snap-fit ​​parts 4 on the wire clamping cover 6 is not limited to one, and they are respectively provided at each edge of the wire clamping cover 6, with a wire clip 3 correspondingly provided with each snap-fit ​​part 4. This allows the wire clip 3 to engage and be fixed to the wire clamping cover 6 in multiple directions. In some possible embodiments, at least two snap-fit ​​parts 4 may be provided at the same edge corresponding to the wire clamping cover 6, and the length of the slot 311 on the wire clip 3 may be increased accordingly.

[0059] See appendix for details. Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, there is one engaging protrusion 41, which is located directly opposite the center of the slot 311; in other possible embodiments, there may be two engaging protrusions 41, and the two engaging protrusions 41 are located near the two ends of the slot 311 in the width direction.

[0060] A connecting core 7 is also provided within the receiving cavity. See appendix. Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting functional core 7 includes: a wire clamping terminal portion 71, a PCB board 72, a set of wire clamping blades 73, and a functional insert 74. One end of the wire clamping blade 73 is provided with a wire clamping fisheye hole, and the other end is provided with a set of cable piercing bevels. The wire clamping terminal portion 71 includes a wire clamping blade 73 mounting groove, and the wire clamping blade 73 is installed in the wire clamping blade 73 mounting groove corresponding to the wire clamping terminal portion 71. One end of the functional insert 74 is provided with a set of fisheye crimping ends. The functional insert 74 and the wire clamping blade 73 are crimped into the corresponding slots of the PCB board 72 through the fisheye crimping ends. The functional insert 74 of the present invention can be a 180-degree or 90-degree functional insert 74.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fastener part 2 further includes a second fastener 22 that can engage with the first fastener 21, and the first fastener 21 and the second fastener 22 cooperate to form a through hole for the cable to pass through.

[0062] See appendix again Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the second fastening member 22 is separately connected to the female seat 1 and rotatably connected to the female seat 1. That is, both the first fastening member 21 and the second fastening member 22 are rotatably connected to the female seat 1. Correspondingly, two sets of fastening member hanging slots 11 are provided on the female seat 1, and fastening member hanging shafts 24 are respectively provided on the first fastening member 21 and the second fastening member 22 (see again the appendix). Figure 5As shown in the diagram, by engaging the fastener pin 24 with the fastener slot 11, the first fastener 21 and the second fastener 22 can be connected to the two sets of fastener slots 11 respectively, thus achieving the connection between the fastener part 2 and the female seat 1. Since the cable clip 3 is located on the side closest to the first fastener 21, a corresponding arc-shaped edge a221 is provided on the side of the second fastener 22 closest to the first fastener 21, which is opposite to the locking edge 33 of the base 31 of the cable clip 3. Thus, the cable is clamped by the engagement of the arc-shaped edge a221 and the locking edge 33.

[0063] See appendix Figure 11 As shown, in other possible embodiments, the second fastening member 22 can also be integrally connected with the female seat 1, and a set of fastening member hanging slots 11 can be provided on the edge of the female seat 1 near the second fastening member 22 to realize the rotational connection between the first fastening member 21 and the female seat 1. A cable tray 8 detachably connected to the second fastening member 22 is also provided in the receiving cavity. An arc-shaped edge b81 opposite to the positioning edge 32 is provided on the side of the cable tray 8 near the base 31. Therefore, the cable tray 8 can ensure a good fixing effect on the cable by cooperating with the cable clip 3 through the arc-shaped edge b81. The main body of the cable tray 8 is provided with two cable tray fixing hooks 82, and a corresponding locking interface 222 is provided on the second fastening member 22. The locking interface 222 cooperates with the cable tray fixing hooks 82 to realize the locking of the cable tray 8 and the second fastening member 22.

[0064] The female connector 1 of the present invention has a mounting port 12 at one end for connecting the cable, and a plug-in interface 13 at the other end opposite to the mounting port 12. In this embodiment, the slot 311 of the cable clip 3 is located on the side of the base 31 near the plug-in interface 13. Obviously, the slot 311 can also be located on the side of the base 31 near the mounting port 12.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, at least one hook 14 for connecting the cable-free network module of the present invention to other mechanisms is also provided on the outer wall. The hook 14 can be made of metal, plastic, rubber, or other materials.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, a dustproof mechanism 131 is also provided at the plug-in insertion port. The dustproof mechanism 131 includes a rotatable dustproof door to prevent dust from entering at the plug-in insertion port 13.

[0067] Example 2:

[0068] See appendix Figure 14 As shown, the only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the snap-fit ​​part 4 is disposed on the inner wall of the adjusting groove 5, rather than on the pressure cover 6. (See attached diagram) Figure 13 In conjunction with the comparison, attached Figure 13This is a half-sectional view of the structure in which the snap-fit ​​part 4 is set on the wire clamping cover 6. Figure 13 The diagram illustrates the use of a 90-degree ferrule as a functional ferrule. And... Figure 14 The ferrule used is a 180-degree functional ferrule. Obviously, the functional ferrule can be freely selected and replaced as needed.

[0069] Therefore, by setting the adjustment groove 5 on the first fastening member 21 and combining it with the sheet-like base 31 of the cable clip 3, the overall length of the cable-free network module will not be increased due to the need to set a separate structure for fixing the clip 4 in the cable-free module. Moreover, since the adjustment groove 5 is set on the first fastening member 21, the coarse positioning of the cable can be quickly achieved by flipping the first fastening member 21.

[0070] In this embodiment, the adjustment groove 5 is formed by a mounting plate 52 on the inner wall of the first fastening member 21. The mounting plate 52 is arranged in a direction that is approximately parallel to the outer surface of the end of the first fastening member 21 near the insertion port. Thus, the mounting plate 52 and the upper cover plate 211 of the first fastening member 21 form the structure of the adjustment groove 5.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the snap-fit ​​part 4 is disposed on the side of the upper cover plate 211 of the mounting plate 52 near the first fastening member 21, and the number of snap-fit ​​parts 4 can be one, two, or more. Correspondingly, the slot 311 of the wire clip 3 is positioned facing away from the upper cover plate 211, and the width of the slot 311 on the base 31 of the wire clip 3 is adjusted according to the placement and number of snap-fit ​​parts 4. For example, if only one snap-fit ​​part 4 is disposed in the area near the center line on the mounting plate 52, then only the slot 311 needs to be disposed in the middle of the base 31. When two snap-fit ​​parts 4 are disposed on the mounting plate 52, the width of the slot 311 is adjusted accordingly to ensure that the slot 311 can fully engage with the snap-fit ​​part 4.

[0072] See appendix Figure 15 As shown, in other possible embodiments of the present invention, the engaging protrusion 41 of the engaging portion 4 may also be provided on the inner side of the upper cover plate 211, and the slot 311 of the wire clip 3 may be positioned on the side close to the upper cover plate 211. Alternatively, the engaging portion 4 may be provided simultaneously on the inner side of the upper cover plate 211 and on the side of the mounting plate 52 close to the upper cover plate 211, and the position of the slot 311 of the base 31 of the wire clip 3 may be adjusted accordingly to match the engaging portion 4.

[0073] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 52 is positioned approximately at the same location as the surface of the wire clamping cover 6 near the mounting opening 12, and a snap-fit ​​portion 4 is provided at the end of the mounting plate 52 near the mounting opening 12. Therefore, the overall length of the cable-free network module can be minimized as much as possible due to the snap-fit ​​portion 4 on the mounting plate 52.

[0074] Example 3:

[0075] See appendix for further details. Figure 7-9 As shown, this embodiment is a wire clamping cover 6, which includes a main cover body 62. A through hole for the cable to pass through is provided on the main cover body 62. At least one snap-fit ​​part 4 is provided on the main cover body 62. The snap-fit ​​part 4 includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion 41. The snap-fit ​​part 4 is used to cooperate with the wire clamp 3 to move the wire clamp 3 toward the direction closer to the cable.

[0076] A cable mounting hole is provided in the middle of the cable clamping cover 6. The bottom of the cable clamping cover 6 is provided with at least one cable mounting groove 63, at least one pair of mounting positioning grooves 64, and at least one cable clamping cover mounting positioning post 65. A cable crimping surface 641 is also provided next to the cable mounting groove 63. Example 4:

[0077] This embodiment is a cable-free network module, which includes the cable clamping cover 6 of Embodiment 3. The cable passes through a through-hole from the top to the bottom of the cable clamping cover 6, is inserted into the corresponding cable mounting slot 63, and placed on the corresponding cable crimping surface 641. The cable clamping cover 6 is mounted on the crimping terminal of the connecting functional core 7 via mounting positioning posts. The cable is quickly installed by crimping with the fastener part 2. This embodiment of the cable-free network module achieves rapid cable clamping by providing a snap-fit ​​part 4 on the cable clamping cover and utilizing the cooperation between the cable clip 3 and the snap-fit ​​part. It utilizes the original structure of the network module, eliminating the need for clamps and cable ties at the ends of the network module, thus reducing the overall length of the network module.
