Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of conductive connection, and in particular to a computer connection port. Background Art

[0002] A computer connection port generally refers to an interface between a computer and an external device or network, allowing data transmission and communication. A computer port is provided with a plurality of terminals, i.e., metal contact points in a network interface, which are used to electrically connect to an inserted network cable head for data transmission. During the process of plugging and unplugging the network cable head at the end of the network cable and the computer port, frictional contact with the terminal in the port will occur, causing friction and wear on the terminal, thus affecting the port's mission. In order to facilitate plugging and unplugging, there is usually a clearance fit between the computer port and the network cable head. When the network cable is affected by external force, the network cable head will cause wear on the terminal, and even cause some terminals to deform, thus affecting the service life of the port. Summary of the invention

[0005] Optionally, a spring sheet for contacting the network cable head is installed on the side wall of the connecting groove. The spring sheet is squeezed and stretched along a first direction during the plugging process of the network cable head and the connecting groove, and recovers its deformation after the plugging of the network cable head and the connecting groove is completed; the self-adjusting component includes a first push rod and a pull rope. The first push rod is slidably installed on the port body along the first direction, and is located on the side of the elastic segment away from the contact segment; the first push rod is connected to the spring sheet by the pull rope, and when the spring sheet is squeezed and stretched, it drives the first push rod to move and insert between two adjacent circles of the elastic segment, so that the side of the elastic segment away from the contact segment is away from the fixed segment, and the contact segment is close to the fixed segment; until the spring sheet recovers its deformation, the elastic segment recovers its deformation to push the first push rod out.

[0006] Optionally, a side of the first push rod close to the elastic section is a wedge-shaped surface, and the first push rod pushes the elastic sections of multiple connection terminals simultaneously.

[0007] Optionally, there are two spring sheets, which are respectively located on two side walls of the connecting groove in the second direction; there are two pull ropes, each of which is respectively connected to a spring sheet and one end of the first push rod in the second direction.

[0008] Optionally, a computer connection port also includes a compensation component, which includes a second push rod, an adjustment column and a transmission unit. The second push rod is slidably installed on the port body along the first direction and is located on the side of the elastic section close to the contact section; the adjustment column is rotatably installed on the port body, and when rotating, the transmission unit pushes the second push rod to move and insert it between two adjacent circles of the elastic section, so that the side of the elastic section close to the contact section is away from the fixed section in the third direction, and then the contact section is away from the fixed section in the third direction.

[0009] Optionally, the transmission unit includes a rack and a gear, the rack is arranged along the first direction and fixedly connected to the second push rod; the gear is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the adjusting column, and meshes with the rack; the adjusting column is threadedly connected to the port body, and when rotating, the second push rod is driven to move through the meshing of the gear and the rack.

[0013] Optionally, a second sliding groove for guiding the second push rod to slide is provided in the port body.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the computer connection port of the present invention utilizes the deformation of the elastic section of the connection terminal to make the contact section deflect toward the fixed section during the plugging process of the network cable head and the connection slot, thereby avoiding contact between the contact section and the network cable head during the plugging process to cause wear. After the network cable head and the connection slot are plugged in, the elastic section recovers the deformation to make the contact section contact with the network cable head, thereby ensuring the connection effect. This connection method can reduce the wear of the connection terminal and extend its service life.

[0015] Furthermore, since the elastic section is a structure that extends spirally along the third direction, it has a certain expansion and contraction margin in the third direction, and can adapt to the deformation or fluctuation between the contact section and the network cable head in the third direction; and the two ends of the elastic section are respectively connected to the fixed section and the contact section. When there is stress or fluctuation in the second direction between the contact section and the network cable head, the elastic section can elastically compensate for the movement of the contact section by further winding or releasing. Compared with the prior art in which one end of the contact section is directly fixedly connected to the port body, it can withstand greater external force fluctuations and has a longer service life.

[0016] Furthermore, the second push rod is located on the side of the elastic segment close to the contact segment. By rotating the adjusting column to move the second push rod and insert it between two adjacent circles of the elastic segment, the side of the elastic segment close to the contact segment can drive the contact segment to move away from the fixed segment in the third direction, so that the contact segment and the network cable head are in closer contact, thereby ensuring the connection effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] An embodiment of a computer connection port of the present invention is used to connect to a network cable head, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the device comprises a port body 100 , a connecting terminal 200 , a self-adjusting component 400 and a cover 500 .

[0022] A square connection slot for connecting to a network cable head is formed at one end of the port body 100 , and the direction in which the port body 100 and the network cable head are plugged in is a first direction.

[0023] There are multiple connecting terminals 200, which are arranged side by side on the port body 100, and their arrangement direction is the second direction; the connecting terminal 200 includes a fixed section 210, an elastic section 220 and a contact section 230, the fixed section 210 is arranged along the first direction and fixed to the port body 100, the elastic section 220 is spirally arranged along the third direction, and the two ends are respectively connected to one end of the fixed section 210 and the contact section 230, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other; the contact section 230 is coplanar with the fixed section 210 and is located on the same side of the elastic section 220 in the first direction, the contact section 230 is inclined and the end connected to the elastic section 220 is closer to the fixed section 210 than the other end, and the end away from the elastic section 220 extends into the connecting groove, which is used to contact with the network cable head to achieve electrical connection.

[0024] The sealing cover 500 is fixed to the port body 100 and presses on a side of the elastic section 220 away from the fixed section 210 in the third direction, and the pressing position is located at the center of the elastic section 220 in the first direction.

[0025] The side wall of the connection slot is installed with a spring piece 110 for contacting the network cable head. The spring piece 110 is squeezed and stretched along the first direction during the plugging process of the network cable head and the connection slot, and recovers its shape after the plugging of the network cable head and the connection slot is completed. Specifically, one end of the spring piece 110 close to the network cable head in the first direction is fixed to the side wall of the connection slot, and the other end in the first direction can slide along the side wall of the connection slot, and the middle part of the spring piece 110 protrudes toward the center of the connection slot; a groove matching the shape of the spring piece 110 is provided on the network cable head. During the plugging process of the network cable head and the connection slot, the middle part of the spring piece 110 is pushed to move the other end in the first direction until the plugging of the network cable head and the connection slot is completed, the groove corresponds to the spring piece 110, and the spring piece 110 recovers its shape in the groove.

[0026] The self-adjusting component 400 is inserted between two adjacent circles of the elastic segment 220 from the side of the elastic segment 220 away from the contact segment 230 during the plugging process of the network cable head and the connecting slot, and is detached from the elastic segment 220 after the plugging of the network cable head and the connecting slot is completed.

[0027] By utilizing the deformation of the elastic section 220 of the connection terminal 200, the contact section 230 is deflected toward the fixed section 210 during the plugging process of the network cable head and the connection slot, so as to avoid contact between the contact section 230 and the network cable head during the plugging process, thereby preventing wear. After the network cable head and the connection slot are plugged in, the elastic section 220 recovers its deformation, so that the contact section 230 contacts the network cable head, thereby ensuring the connection effect. This connection method can reduce the wear of the connection terminal 200 and extend its service life.

[0028] Furthermore, since the elastic section 220 is a structure that extends spirally along the third direction, it has a certain expansion and contraction margin in the third direction, and can adapt to the deformation or fluctuation between the contact section 230 and the network cable head in the third direction; and the two ends of the elastic section 220 are respectively connected to the fixed section 210 and the contact section 230. When there is stress or fluctuation in the second direction between the contact section 230 and the network cable head, the elastic section 220 can elastically compensate for the movement of the contact section 230 by further winding or releasing. Compared with the prior art in which one end of the contact section 230 is directly fixedly connected to the port body 100, it can withstand greater external force fluctuations and has a longer service life.

[0029] In this embodiment, the self-adjusting assembly 400 includes a first push rod 410 and a pull rope 420. The first push rod 410 is slidably installed on the port body 100 along the first direction and is located on the side of the elastic section 220 away from the contact section 230. Specifically, a first slide groove 130 for guiding the sliding of the first push rod 410 is provided on the side wall of the connection groove. The first push rod 410 is connected to the movable end of the spring sheet 110 in the first direction through the pull rope 420, and when the spring sheet 110 is squeezed and stretched, the first push rod 410 is driven to move and insert between two adjacent circles of the elastic section 220, so that the side of the elastic section 220 away from the contact section 230 is away from the fixed section 210, and the contact section 230 is deflected toward the side close to the fixed section 210, so as to avoid the contact section 230 and the network cable head from contacting during the plugging process, causing wear; until the spring sheet 110 recovers its deformation, the elastic section 220 recovers its deformation to push out the first push rod 410, so that the contact section 230 and the network cable head are in contact.

[0030] In this embodiment, the side of the first push rod 410 close to the elastic section 220 is a wedge-shaped surface, so that the first push rod 410 can be inserted between two adjacent circles of the elastic section 220. Specifically, the two side surfaces of the first push rod 410 in the third direction are inclined surfaces, and the two inclined surfaces are closest to each other at one end of the first push rod 410 close to the elastic section 220. The first push rod 410 pushes the elastic sections 220 of multiple connection terminals 200 at the same time.

[0031] In this embodiment, there are two spring pieces 110, which are respectively located on the two side walls of the connecting groove in the second direction; there are two pull ropes 420, each of which is respectively connected to a spring piece 110 and one end of the first push rod 410 in the second direction, and the two pull ropes 420 work together to make the two ends of the first push rod 410 move synchronously.

[0032] In this embodiment, a computer connection port further includes a compensation component 300, which includes a second push rod 310, an adjustment column 320 and a transmission unit. The second push rod 310 is slidably mounted on the port body 100 along the first direction and is located on the side of the elastic section 220 close to the contact section 230; specifically, a second slide groove 140 is provided in the port body 100 to guide the sliding of the second push rod 310. The adjustment column 320 is rotatably mounted on the port body 100, and when rotating, the transmission unit pushes the second push rod 310 to move and insert between two adjacent circles of the elastic section 220, so that the side of the elastic section 220 close to the contact section 230 is away from the fixed section 210 in the third direction, and then the contact section 230 is away from the fixed section 210 in the third direction, so that the contact section 230 is in closer contact with the network cable head. As the connection time increases, the contact position between the contact segment 230 and the network cable head is prone to loosening, resulting in a loose connection, which in turn affects signal transmission. Since the second push rod 310 is located on the side of the elastic segment 220 close to the contact segment 230, by rotating the adjustment column 320 to move the second push rod 310 and insert it between two adjacent circles of the elastic segment 220, the side of the elastic segment 220 close to the contact segment 230 can drive the contact segment 230 in the third direction away from the fixed segment 210, so that the contact segment 230 and the network cable head are in closer contact, thereby ensuring the connection effect.

[0033] In this embodiment, the transmission unit includes a rack 331 and a gear 332, wherein the rack 331 is arranged along the first direction and fixedly connected to the second push rod 310; the gear 332 is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the adjustment column 320, and meshes with the rack 331; the adjustment column 320 is threadedly connected to the port body 100, and when rotating, the second push rod 310 is driven to move through the meshing of the gear 332 and the rack 331. In some other embodiments, the transmission unit can be replaced by a friction wheel fixed to the adjustment column 320 and a friction plate fixed to the second push rod 310.

[0034] In this embodiment, one end of the second push rod 310 close to the elastic section 220 is a wedge-shaped surface, and the second push rod 310 pushes the elastic sections 220 of multiple connection terminals 200 at the same time.

[0035] In this embodiment, a plurality of terminal slots 120 extending along a first direction are defined in the port body 100 . The plurality of terminal slots 120 are arranged at intervals along a second direction. The fixing section 210 of each connecting terminal 200 is correspondingly installed in one terminal slot 120 .

[0036] In this embodiment, a card slot is further provided outside the port body 100, and an elastic card block adapted to the card slot is provided on the network cable head. During the insertion process of the network cable head and the port body 100, the elastic card block is squeezed to deform, and when the insertion of the network cable head and the port body 100 is completed, the elastic card block is stuck in the card slot to prevent the network cable head from being separated from the port body 100. This structure belongs to a conventional setting in the prior art and is not illustrated in detail in the accompanying drawings.

[0037] When a computer connection port of the present invention is in use, the network cable head is inserted into the connection slot along a first direction, and during the plugging process, the network cable head pushes the spring sheet 110 to deform and stretch in the first direction, and the spring sheet 110 drives the first push rod 410 to move along the first direction toward the side close to the elastic section 220 through the pull rope 420, and pushes the elastic section 220 to move further away from the fixed section 210 on the side of the first push rod 410 away from the fixed section 210 in the third direction. Since the cover 500 presses on the side of the elastic section 220 away from the fixed section 210 in the third direction, and the pressing point is the center of the elastic section 220, the side where the elastic section 220 is connected to the contact section 230 is close to the fixed section 210, so that during the plugging process of the network cable head and the connection slot, the contact between the contact section 230 and the network cable head can be reduced, thereby reducing their friction and wear. When the network cable head is plugged into the connecting slot, the tactile block on the network cable head cooperates with the slot outside the port body 100, the spring sheet 110 cooperates with the groove on the side wall of the network cable head, and the spring sheet 110 restores its deformation, so that the pull rope 420 relaxes, allowing the first push rod 410 to be pushed out under the action of the elastic section 220 restoring its deformation, and the contact section 230 returns to its initial state and contacts with the network cable head.

[0038] As the contact time increases, the contact between the contact section 230 and the network cable head is prone to loosening. The adjusting column 320 can be rotated appropriately. The adjusting column 320 drives the second push rod 310 through the transmission unit to be inserted between two adjacent circles of the elastic section 220, so that the side of the elastic section 220 close to the contact section 230 is away from the fixed section 210 in the third direction, and then the contact section 230 is away from the fixed section 210 in the third direction, so that the contact section 230 and the network cable head are in closer contact.

[0039] By setting the elastic section 220, the inclination of the contact section 230 can be adjusted when two adjacent circles are inserted on both sides of the elastic section 220, so that the contact between the contact section 230 and the network cable head can be adaptively adjusted, which is simple to operate and has good flexibility.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
