[0002] Multi-port switches, as a common network device, are typically equipped with multiple network interfaces designed to connect various network devices, such as computers, routers, and servers, enabling fast data exchange and efficient communication. The wiring harness plays a crucial role in the daily operation of the switch, serving as the bridge between various devices and the switch, ensuring stable and reliable data transmission. However, wiring harnesses are subject to numerous environmental interferences and potential physical damage in actual use. In particular, the area where the network cable's connector contacts the network cable is often subject to excessive bending angles due to the influence of gravity. This excessive bending not only damages the harness itself but also strains the connector. The accumulation of stress from prolonged strain and bending can easily cause wire breakage within the harness, severely impacting signal transmission and potentially even leading to network outages. Summary of the Invention

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0025] The terms used in the present invention are those commonly used in the art in view of the functions of the present invention, but these terms may vary according to the intentions of those skilled in the art, precedents, or new technologies in the art. In addition, specific terms may be selected by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the present invention. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but rather as the meanings of the terms and the overall description of the present invention.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 , this embodiment provides a switch with a wire harness protection structure, including,
[0027] A clamping mechanism 1, which is fixed on the switch;
[0028] A pressure-applying portion 2 connected to the clamping mechanism 1 is capable of applying pressure to the clamping mechanism 1 so that the clamping mechanism 1 can be fixed to the outside of the cable;
[0029] The clamping mechanism 1 is located on the switch's cable connection port. A dedicated pressure-applying component 2 applies appropriate pressure to the clamping mechanism 1, firmly holding the cable close to the connector. This effectively reduces the potential bending angle of the cable at the connection. This not only helps extend the cable's lifespan but also significantly improves the stability of the connection. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 1 effectively resists potential external pull forces on the cable, preventing it from loosening or damaging due to external forces, further ensuring reliable data transmission.
[0030] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 1 includes an upper movable plate 11 and a lower movable plate 12, and the pressure applying portion 2 is capable of applying a thrust in relative directions to the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12;
[0031] The upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12 are movably connected to the switch. Through the pressing part 2, different-direction forces can be applied to the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12, so that the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12 can move in opposite directions. When the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12 move in the approaching direction and contact the surface of the cable, the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12 cooperate to complete the fixation of the cable, thereby reducing cable damage.
[0032] Furthermore, a limiting part 3 is further included, which is fixedly arranged on the switch. The limiting part 3 enables the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate to move perpendicular to the ground;
[0033] The limiting part 3 includes two groups of fixing seats 31 fixedly arranged on the switch. The two groups of fixing seats 31 are respectively arranged at both ends of the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12. Two fixing seats 31 form a group, and a fixing rod 32 is fixedly arranged between the two fixing seats 31. Guide plates 14 are fixedly arranged at both ends of the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12. Through holes corresponding to the fixing rod 32 are formed on the guide plates 14. The guide plates 14 are slidably connected to the fixing rod 32 through the through holes, and then the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12 are slidably connected to the fixing rod 32;
[0034] In this embodiment, the pressing part 2 is preferably a spring. The spring is sleeved outside the fixing rod 32. At the same time, both ends of the spring are respectively in contact with the guide plate 14 and the fixing seat 31, so that the spring can apply forces in opposite directions to the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12, and then push the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12 to approach each other to complete the clamping and fixation of the cable.
[0035] Furthermore, a fixing part 7 is further included. The fixing part 7 is fixedly arranged on the switch, and the limiting part 3 is fixedly arranged on the fixing part 7;
[0036] In this embodiment, the fixing part 7 is a "U"-shaped part, and both ends of it are fixedly connected to both sides of the switch through bolts, so as to fixedly arrange the fixing part 7 on the switch. The fixing seat 31 is fixedly arranged on the fixing part 7, and then the clamping mechanism 1 is fixed on the switch.
[0037] Furthermore, multiple groups of card slots 13 are respectively formed on the opposite surfaces of the upper moving plate 11 and the lower moving plate 12. The card slots 13 on the upper moving plate 11 correspond to the card slots 13 on the lower moving plate 12 one by one.
[0038] In this embodiment, the card slot 13 is a semicircular groove, and the card slots 13 on the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are symmetrically arranged. When in use, the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are pushed away from each other so that the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are in an open state. After connecting the crystal head of the cable to the switch, the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are loosened. Under the push of the pressure-applying part 2, the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 fix the cable in the card slot 13, thereby fixing the cable.
[0039] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment provided in the present application, a positioning member 4 is further included, and the positioning member 4 can lock the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 in an open state;
[0040] By setting a positioning member 4 between the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12, the positioning member 4 can adjust the distance between the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12, so that when installing the cable, the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 can be easily moved, thereby improving the work efficiency of the operators.
[0041] Furthermore, the positioning member 4 includes a fixed column 41 respectively provided on the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12, and a rotating disk 42 is sleeved on the outer side of the fixed column 41;
[0042] In this embodiment, the turntable 42 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 31, and the turntable 42 is located at the front end of the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12. The front of the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are fixed with fixed columns 41. By rotating the turntable 42, the two groups of fixed columns 41 can be pushed to move, and then the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are adjusted to slide closer or farther away. When installing cables, the operator can first rotate the turntable 42 to adjust the clamping mechanism 1, and then perform the connection operation between the cable and the switch, making the equipment more convenient and efficient to use.
[0043] Furthermore, the turntable 42 is provided with a guide groove 43 corresponding to the fixing column 41 , and the guide groove 43 includes an arc segment 431 , and the end of the arc segment 431 is connected to the positioning segment 432 ;
[0044] When the fixing column 41 is located in the positioning section 432 , the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are in an open state;
[0045] The turntable 42 is provided with two sets of guide grooves 43 at equal intervals, with its center as the center point. The arc section 431 of the guide groove 43 is inclined, with one end close to the center of the turntable 42 and the other end away from the center of the turntable 42. When the fixed column 41 is located in the arc section 431 close to the center of the turntable 42, the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are close to each other. When the fixed column 41 is located in the arc section 431 away from the center of the turntable 42, the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are separated from each other, so that the distance between the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 can be adjusted when the turntable 42 rotates.
[0046] The positioning section 432 is provided at one end of the arc section 431 away from the center of the turntable 42, and the positioning section 432 is provided close to the center of the turntable 42. Since the two groups of pressure-applying parts 2 apply forces in opposite directions, when the turntable 42 rotates until the two groups of fixed columns 41 are located at the ends of the arc section 431, and the fixed columns 41 correspond to the positioning section 432, the positioning section 432 is perpendicular to the ground at this time. Under the action of the pressure-applying part 2, the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are pushed toward the direction of approaching each other, so that the fixed column 41 enters the positioning section 432. At this time, the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are fixed in the open state, and the operator does not need to fix the position of the turntable 42, freeing the operator's hands to facilitate the operator's cable connection operation and improve work efficiency.
[0047] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment provided in the present application, a resisting member 5 is connected to the front end of the turntable 42 , and the resisting member 5 can push the fixing column 41 located in the positioning segment 432 into the arc segment 431 ;
[0048] In this embodiment, the end of the fixed column 41 extends out of the guide groove 43, and the resistance member 5 is a long block structure with an inclined surface at the end. When the cable is connected to the switch, the clamping mechanism 1 needs to be adjusted from the open state to the closed clamping state, and the resistance member 5 can be pushed to move toward the turntable 42, so that the end of the resistance member 5 contacts the end of the fixed column 41, so that the inclined surface at the end of the resistance member 5 gradually squeezes the fixed column 41 to slide into the arc segment 431. When the fixed column 41 enters the arc segment 431, the resistance member 5 is kept close to the turntable 42, and the turntable 42 is rotated at the same time to move the fixed column 41 toward the end of the arc segment 431 close to the center of the turntable 42. At this time, the upper movable plate 11 and the lower movable plate 12 are close to each other under the push of the pressure part 2, and then the cable can be clamped, so that the position adjustment of the cable can be completed only by rotating the turntable 42, which is easy to operate.
[0049] Furthermore, there is a distance between the resisting member 5 and the front end of the rotating disk 42, and the resisting member 5 needs to move toward the fixing column 41 before it can contact it;
[0050] In this embodiment, a sliding member (6) is provided on the surface of the turntable 42. The sliding member (6 includes a fixed shaft 61 fixed to the surface of the turntable 42. Two groups of limiting grooves 62 are equidistantly provided on the fixed shaft 61. A sliding rod 63 is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixed shaft 61. Two groups of interference members 5 are equidistantly provided on the outer side of the sliding rod 63. The interference member 5 and the sliding rod 63 are fixedly connected. A limiting block corresponding to the limiting groove 62 is provided in the sliding rod 63. The cooperation between the limiting block and the limiting groove 62 prevents the sliding rod 63 from separating from the fixed shaft 61. At the same time, an elastic member 64 is provided between the end of the fixed shaft 61 and the end of the inner wall of the sliding rod 63. Under the push of the elastic member 64, the interference member 5 can maintain the rotating drum with a distance from the turntable 42.
[0051] When the clamping mechanism 1 needs to be adjusted from the open state to the closed state, the slide bar 63 can be pushed toward the turntable 42, thereby driving the resistance member 5 to contact the fixed column 41 to push the fixed column 41 to move. When the clamping mechanism 1 is adjusted, the elastic member 64 pushes the slide bar 63 to reset, and the resistance member 5 returns to a state where it is spaced apart from the turntable 42.
[0052] Finally, it should be pointed out that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
