Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of network information modules, and more particularly to a network information module with an LED light. Background Art

[0002] In the field of structured cabling, since various communication terminals in a communication network are distributed at different physical locations, transmission lines are required to connect these communication terminals together. The connection between the transmission lines and each communication terminal is mainly achieved through network information modules on the communication terminals. Thus, a network information module is a connector for transmitting network digital signals. To facilitate the connection, distribution, and scheduling of lines, a patch panel is generally used for line layout and installation. Several network information modules are connected to the patch panel. However, the existing network information modules do not have a status indicator that can directly show whether the line connection is normal after being installed on the patch panel, which is inconvenient for judging whether it can be properly connected to a crystal head subsequently, thereby affecting the overall efficiency of cabling. Summary of the Invention

[0003] An object of the present invention is to provide a network information module with an LED light to solve the technical problems in the background art.

[0007] A first clamping groove is provided at the rear side of the base plate. A first clamping platform is provided in the support base and is snap-fitted and clamped with the first clamping groove. At least one limiting strip is provided on the left and right side walls inside the cavity. The limiting strip is above the base plate and contacts the top surface of the base plate.

[0008] The elastic cushion plate is of an inverted V-shaped structure for supporting the gold needles. The elastic cushion plate includes a first cushion plate and a second cushion plate. The first cushion plate is connected to the front end of the second cushion plate. The connection part between the first cushion plate and the second cushion plate is a bending part. A plurality of clearance holes are provided on the second cushion plate. The sixth contact end of the sixth gold needle abuts against the bending part. The third contact end of the third gold needle abuts against the bending part. The end surfaces where the tops of the sixth contact end and the third contact end are located are not on the same horizontal plane. The third contact arm of the third gold needle abuts against the first cushion plate. The sixth contact arm of the sixth gold needle abuts against the first cushion plate. The end surfaces where the third contact arm and the sixth contact arm are located are not on the same plane.

[0009] The top surface of the sixth contact end is higher than the top surface of the third contact end. The height difference between the top surface of the sixth contact end and the top surface of the third contact end is 0.1 - 0.5 mm. The end surface where the third contact arm is located is behind the end surface where the sixth contact arm is located. The distance between the end surface where the third contact arm is located and the end surface where the sixth contact arm is located is 0.1 - 0.5 mm.

[0010] The front end of the first cushion plate is provided with a protruding first convex strip. The first convex strip supports the sixth contact arm and the sixth contact end of the sixth gold needle between the first cushion plate and the bending part. The thickness of the first convex strip is 1.5 - 2.5 mm.

[0011] The eight gold needles are divided into three-layer structures to form a spatial structure layer, which are the first gold needle layer, the second gold needle layer, and the third gold needle layer from top to bottom. The first gold needle layer includes the second gold needle, the fourth gold needle, and the sixth gold needle. The second gold needle layer includes the first gold needle and the eighth gold needle.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, a network information module with an LED lamp provided by the present invention is provided with an LED lamp in the module body. When the network information module is installed on the patch panel in a free state, the third gold needle and the sixth gold needle form a closed loop with the pins of the LED lamp, and the LED lamp will be lit, which can immediately display that the line of the network information module is normally connected, and the wiring state of the line can be visually observed to ensure that the network information module can be normally connected to the crystal head or the network patch cord. In addition, when the crystal head or the network patch cord is inserted into the module body, the gold needles will be stressed downward. Since the third gold needle and the sixth gold needle are not on the same horizontal plane in terms of front and back and height, that is, the third gold needle and the sixth gold needle are separated from the pins of the LED lamp respectively, thus forming an open circuit and turning off the LED lamp. By using the method of contacting successively, the crystal head and the network information module can be energized in sequence, generating a time difference, which can better protect the crystal head and the line of the network information module from being damaged by large current and voltage, resulting in abnormalities of the crystal head or the network information module and affecting the normal transmission of data.

In this embodiment, the height difference H1 between the top end face of the sixth contact end 606-1 and the top end face of the third contact end 603-1 is 0.2 mm. The end face where the third contact arm 603-2 is located is at the rear of the end face where the sixth contact arm 606-2 is located. The distance W1 between the end face where the third contact arm 603-2 is located and the end face where the sixth contact arm 606-2 is located is 0.1 - 0.5 mm.

[0031] A raised first rib 702-3 is provided at the front end of the first cushion plate 702-1. The first rib 702-3 supports the sixth contact arm 606-2 and the sixth contact end 606-1 of the sixth gold needle 606 between the first cushion plate 702-1 and the bending part 703.

[0032] The first backing plate 702-1 is further provided with a second rib 702-4 and a third rib 702-5. Both the second rib 702-4 and the third rib 702-5 have the same structure as the first rib 702-3. The second rib 702-4 corresponds to the position of the fourth gold pin 604, and the third rib 702-5 corresponds to the position of the second gold pin 602. The second contact end and the fourth contact end of the second rib 702-4 and the fourth rib abut against the bending portion 703 respectively. The top surfaces of the second contact end, the fourth contact end and the sixth contact end 606-1 are on the same horizontal plane. The second contact arm of the second gold pin 602 abuts against the first backing plate 702-1, and the fourth contact arm of the fourth gold pin 604 abuts against the first backing plate 702-1.

The settings of the second gold pin 602 and the fourth gold pin 604 are also for creating a height difference and a front-back spacing gap with other gold pins 6. Specifically, the working principle is the same as that of the sixth gold pin 606 and the third gold pin 603. The gold pin structure of this device enables the non-simultaneous connection of the gold pins 6 in the network information module of this application with the metal contacts of the crystal head when the crystal head abuts and advances against the gold pins 6, which can better protect the crystal head and the circuit of the network information module.

[0033] The eight gold pins 6 on the PCB board 4 in this application are divided into three layers to form a spatial structure layer.

The third gold pin 603 layer includes the third gold pin 603, the fifth gold pin 605 and the seventh gold pin 607. The gold pins 6 on the PCB board 4 adopt a three-layer spatial layout, which increases the spacing between each gold pin 6, can improve the transmission performance of the product, avoid data crosstalk, and has a high transmission rate.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 12 and 13, an elastic pressure plate 9029 is provided below the elastic cushion plate 702. The elastic pressure plate 9029 is snap-connected to the support base 701.

Through the cooperation of the limiting strips 705, the first card slot 901-2 and the first clamping platform 704, the base plate 901 is stably positioned at the bottom of the support base 701.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, a network information module with an LED lamp provided by the present invention is provided with an LED lamp inside the module body. When the network information module is installed on the distribution frame in a free state, a closed loop is formed between the third gold needle, the sixth gold needle and the pins of the LED lamp, and the LED lamp will be lit, which can immediately display that the circuit of the network information module is normally connected, and the wiring state of the circuit can be visually observed to ensure that the network information module can be normally connected to the crystal head or the network jumper. In addition, when the crystal head or the network jumper is inserted into the module body, the gold needles will be subjected to downward force. Since the third gold needle and the sixth gold needle are not on the same horizontal plane in terms of front-back and height, that is, the third gold needle and the sixth gold needle are separated from the pins of the LED lamp respectively, thus forming an open circuit and turning off the LED lamp. By using the method of contacting successively, the crystal head and the network information module can be energized in sequence, generating a time difference, which can better protect the crystal head and the circuit of the network information module, and avoid being damaged by large current and voltage, resulting in abnormalities of the crystal head or the network information module, thereby affecting the normal transmission of data.
