Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic product technology, and in particular to a crystal head connector. Background Technology

[0002] RJ45 connectors are essential interface devices in network connections. They are plastic connectors that can be inserted in a fixed direction and automatically prevent detachment. Widely used in network communications, they are primarily used to connect network card ports, hubs, switches, telephones, etc. Existing RJ45 connector housings include a shield at the front for protecting the connector and a tail clip at the rear for securing the wires. The tail clip includes an openable top cover and a base. The manufacturing process typically involves die-casting each component individually before assembly, resulting in a complex manufacturing and assembly process and significant waste of manpower.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a crystal head connector to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the main objective of this invention is to provide a crystal head connector.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution applied in this invention is as follows:

The shielding shell has a mounting groove for the crystal head to be fitted, and the crystal head has a built-in terminal. The elastic element is located on one side of the shielding shell and is used to release the crystal head under pressure when it is fitted to a network interface. The tail clip is integrally formed with the shielding shell and has a built-in mounting cavity. The end of the terminal extends into the mounting cavity, and a wire hole is provided on the side of the tail clip opposite to the shielding shell, which communicates with the mounting cavity. The clamping element is located in the mounting cavity and is used to connect the core wire to the terminal in a clamping manner.

One end of the spring is connected to the end of the crystal head away from the tail clip box, and the other end of the spring is raised and extends a predetermined length near the tail clip box. The slider is slidably disposed on the tail clip box. A hook is provided at the end of the slider near the spring, and the end of the slider away from the spring is connected to the pull ring. When the pull ring is pulled to move the slider away from the spring, the hook presses the spring, so that the elastic element is disengaged from the network interface.

[0010] In this embodiment, preferably, the spring includes a fixing part, an elastic part and a sliding part that are fixed in sequence. The fixing part is detachably connected to the end of the crystal head away from the tail clip box.

[0036] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides a crystal head connector, comprising: a shielding shell 1, an elastic element 3, a tail clip 4, and a clamping element 5. A mounting groove 11 is provided on one side of the shielding shell 1, and the crystal head 2 is disposed within the mounting groove 11, with a terminal 21 disposed within the crystal head 2. The elastic element 3 is disposed on one side of the shielding shell 1, and is used to detachably connect the crystal head to a network interface. The tail clip 4 is integrally formed with the shielding shell 1, and a mounting cavity 41 is provided within the tail clip 4. One end of the terminal 21 extends into the mounting cavity 41, and a wire hole 42 is provided at the end of the tail clip 4 away from the shielding shell 1, communicating with the mounting cavity 41. The clamping element 5 is disposed within the mounting cavity 41, and is used to fix the core wire to the terminal 21.

The right terminal 211 includes a right connecting section 2111, a right mounting section 2112, and several right pins 2113 that are fixedly connected in sequence. The end of the right connecting section 2111 away from the right mounting section 2112 extends into the mounting cavity 41, and the several right pins 2113 are adapted to be disposed in the corresponding terminal slots 22. The left terminal 212 includes a left connecting section 2121, a left mounting section 2122, and several left pins 2123 that are fixedly connected in sequence. The end of the left connecting section 2121 away from the left mounting section 2122 extends into the mounting cavity 41, and the several left pins 2123 are adapted to be disposed in the corresponding terminal slots 22.

[0039] Furthermore, the crystal head 2 is provided with a right post 23 and a left post 24.

[0040] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 4 , Figure 5The elastic element 3 includes a spring piece 31, a slider 32, and a pull ring 33. One end of the spring piece 31 is connected to the end of the crystal head 2 away from the tail clip box 4, and the other end of the spring piece 31 is raised and extends a predetermined length towards the end closer to the tail clip box 4. The slider 32 is slidably disposed on the tail clip box 4. A pull hook 322 is provided at the end of the slider 32 near the spring piece 31, and the end of the slider 32 away from the spring piece 31 is connected to the pull ring 33. When the pull ring 33 is pulled, causing the slider 32 to move away from the spring piece 31, the pull hook 322 presses the spring piece 31, causing the elastic element 3 to disengage from the network interface.

[0041] Specifically, the spring clip 31 includes a fixing part 311, an elastic part 312, and a sliding part 313, which are fixedly connected in sequence.

The slide clip 32 is provided with a guide groove 321, and the top of the tail clip box 4 is provided with a slide groove 44. Limiting blocks 441 are provided on both sides of the slide groove 44, and a guide post 442 is provided in the middle of the slide groove 44. The slide clip 32 is fitted into the slide groove 44, so that the guide post 442 is located in the guide groove 321, and the limiting blocks 441 are located above the slide clip 32 to limit the slide clip 32 in the height direction. The pull ring 33 is detachably connected to the slide clip 32, and the end of the pull ring 33 away from the slide clip 32 is tilted upward to a preset height. The RJ45 connector can be detachably connected to the network interface by using a pull-ring spring structure, which is convenient to operate and saves effort when using it.

[0042] Furthermore, windows 43 are provided on both sides of the tail clip box 4, which connect the mounting cavity 41 to the outside. A cover plate 431 is provided at the window 43, and the cover plate 431 is detachably or fixedly connected to the tail clip box 4; and / or, the cover plate 431 is a transparent structure. By making the cover plate 431 detachable or transparent, the insertion status of the core wire can be easily observed, which facilitates the fixed installation of the core wire.

[0043] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figures 4 to 7The clamping component 5 includes a driving block 51, a pin 52, and an elastic buckle 53. One end of the elastic buckle 53 has a square groove 531, and the other end of the elastic buckle 53 is a predetermined distance from the top of the square groove 531, so that the end of the elastic buckle 53 away from the square groove 531 forms an insertion interface 532 with the top of the square groove 531. The end of the terminal 21 near the mounting cavity 41 is inserted into the insertion interface 532. The bottom of the tail clip box 4 has a hollow opening 45. The driving block 51 is located on the outer side of the bottom of the tail clip box 4 and is located at the hollow opening 45. The middle part of the driving block 51 is rotatably connected to the tail clip box 4 through the pin 52. One end of the driving block 51 abuts against the elastic buckle 53. When the other end of the driving block 51 is moved, the driving block 51 presses the elastic buckle 53. Under the limitation of the terminal 21, the insertion interface 532 can open to facilitate the installation of the core wire. After the drive block 51 is released, the insertion interface 532 shrinks under the elastic force of the elastic buckle 53 to clamp and fix the core wire. The core wire and terminal 21 are clamped and fixed by the clamping member 5, which is convenient to operate and can adapt to the fixing of core wires of different sizes, making it highly practical.

[0044] Furthermore, there are two elastic buckles 53, which are arranged side by side with a gap; there are two drive blocks 51, which are arranged side by side with a gap, and the two drive blocks 51 are rotatably connected to the tail clip box 4 through pins 52 respectively.
