[0043] The detailed description and technical contents of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are only provided for reference and illustration and are not intended to limit this application.

[0044] The present application provides a network cable extension electrical connector that can be flipped and positioned, and is used to connect two network cables (not shown) to form an extended network cable (not shown). Figures 1 to 7 The first embodiment of the present application is shown as follows. Figures 8 to 10 The second embodiment is shown as follows. Figures 11 to 13 A third embodiment is shown.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the first embodiment of the flip-top positionable network cable extension electrical connector (abbreviated as electrical connector) 100 of the present application mainly includes: a base 1 , a wire bonding assembly 2 and a cover assembly 3 .

[0046] The base 1 mainly comprises a first rotating shaft structure S1 and a second rotating shaft structure S2.

[0047] The wire bonding assembly 2 is fixed on the base 1 and is provided with at least a first corresponding positioning structure 24 , and more specifically, a second corresponding positioning structure 25 .

[0048] The cover assembly 3 includes a first cover body 31 and a second cover body 32. The first cover body 31 covers the base 1 corresponding to a portion (e.g., the left portion) of the wiring assembly 2, and the second cover body 32 covers the base 1 corresponding to another portion (e.g., the right portion) of the wiring assembly 2. The first cover body 31 is opened and closed relative to the base 1 with one of the first rotating shaft structure S1 and the second rotating shaft structure S2 as the axis, and the second cover body 32 is opened and closed relative to the base 1 with the other of the first rotating shaft structure S1 and the second rotating shaft structure S2 as the axis. In the cover assembly 3, a first positioning structure 315 is provided at least on the first cover body 31, and more specifically, a second positioning structure 325 is also provided on the second cover body 32.

[0049] Thus, when the user opens the first cover 31 and / or the second cover 32 to tie the thread, the first positioning structure 315 and / or the second positioning structure 325 will be positioned correspondingly to the first corresponding positioning structure 24 and / or the second corresponding positioning structure 25, so that the first cover 31 and / or the second cover 32 are positioned in the flipped state. Specifically, the flipped position of the first cover 31 is due to the first positioning structure 315 being positioned correspondingly to the first corresponding positioning structure 24; the flipped position of the second cover 32 is due to the second positioning structure 325 being positioned correspondingly to the second corresponding positioning structure 25.

[0050] The following details the aforementioned components and their connections. The bonding assembly 2 comprises a frame 23, a first bonding module 21, and a second bonding module 22, each of which houses a plurality of insertion terminals (not shown). The first bonding module 21 and the second bonding module 22 are spaced apart from each other on the frame 23. A first cover 31 covers the first bonding module 21, and a second cover 32 covers the second bonding module 22.

[0051] The first cover 31 has two side panels 311 and a top panel 312 connected between the long sides of the two side panels 311 . A tongue panel 313 protrudes from a short side of the top panel 312 . The first rotating shaft structure S1 or the second rotating shaft structure S2 passes through the tongue panel 313 and the base 1 .

[0052] The first positioning structure 315 includes a rib 316 disposed on one end of the tongue plate 313. Specifically, the first positioning structure 315 further includes a recessed portion 317 recessed from the tongue plate 313, with the rib 316 protruding relative to the recessed portion 317. The first corresponding positioning structure 24 includes a spring 241 and a latch 242 formed at one end of the spring 241. The other end of the spring 241 lies horizontally connected to the frame 23. Therefore, when the first cover 31 is opened, the rib 316 is locked by the latch 242, securing the first cover 31 in the opened position.

[0053] In addition, when the second cover 32 is opened, the second positioning structure 325 can be positioned correspondingly to the second corresponding positioning structure 25 so that the second cover 32 can also be positioned in the opened state, as described in detail below.

[0054] The second cover 32 has two side plates 321 and a top plate 322 connected between one long side of the two side plates 321 . The first rotating shaft structure S1 or the second rotating shaft structure S2 passes through the two side plates 321 and the base 1 .

[0055] The second positioning structure 325 includes two raised bumps 326 disposed on the facing surfaces (e.g., the inner surfaces) of the two side panels 321. The second corresponding positioning structure 25 includes two second elastic arms 251 and a second protrusion 252 formed at one end of each second elastic arm 251. The other end of each second elastic arm 251 is uprightly connected to the frame 23. Thus, when the second cover 32 is opened, the raised bumps 326 are correspondingly abutted (e.g., tightly abutted) by the second protrusions 252, thereby positioning the second cover 32 in the opened position.

[0056] It should be noted that the first corresponding positioning structure 24 and the second corresponding positioning structure 25 are both disposed between the first bonding module 21 and the second bonding module 22 of the frame 23 (ie, both are disposed in the middle portion of the frame 23 ).

[0057] like Figures 8 to 10 The second embodiment of the present application is shown. The second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, with the only difference being the structures of the first positioning structure 315 and the first corresponding positioning structure 24 .

[0058] Specifically, the tongue plate 313 has two outer sidewalls 3151 facing away from each other. The first positioning structure 315 includes two recesses 3152 respectively defined in the two outer sidewalls 3151. The first corresponding positioning structure 24 includes two first elastic arms 243 and a first protrusion 244 formed at one end of each first elastic arm 243. The two first protrusions 244 face each other, and the other end of each first elastic arm 243 is upright connected to the frame 23.

[0059] Thus, when the first cover 31 is opened, each recess 3152 is extended into or extended into and abutted against (eg, tightly abutted against) each first protrusion 244 , so that the first cover 31 can also be positioned in the opened state.

[0060] like Figures 11 to 13 The third embodiment of the present application is shown. The third embodiment is substantially the same as the aforementioned second embodiment, with the only difference being the structures of the first positioning structure 315 and the first corresponding positioning structure 24 .

[0061] Specifically, the tongue plate 313 has two inner sidewalls 3155 facing each other. The first positioning structure 315 includes two recesses 3156 respectively defined in the inner sidewalls 3155. The first corresponding positioning structure 24 includes two first elastic arms 245 and a first protrusion 246 formed at one end of each first elastic arm 245. The two first protrusions 246 face away from each other, and the other end of each first elastic arm 245 is upright connected to the frame 23.

[0062] Thus, when the first cover 31 is opened, each recess 3156 is extended into or extended into and abutted against (eg, tightly abutted against) each first protrusion 246 , so that the first cover 31 can also be positioned in the opened state.

[0063] It should be noted that the present application is not only applicable to the first and second rotating shaft structures (not shown) in a normal configuration, but also applicable to the first and second rotating shaft structures S1 and S2 (shown in FIG. Figure 4 Specifically, the first cover 31 is opened and closed relative to the base 1 using the second hinge structure S2 as an axis, and the second cover 32 is opened and closed relative to the base 1 using the first hinge structure S1 as an axis. At this time, the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 are interlaced on the base 1 using the second hinge structure S2 and the first hinge structure S1, respectively. A short side of the top plate 322 is provided with a cutout 323 to facilitate opening of the second cover 32.

[0064] In addition, if Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the base 1 has a support assembly C, which includes two support bodies 11. The two support bodies 11 are spaced apart and opposite to each other. The first rotating shaft structure S1 and the second rotating shaft structure S2 pass through the two support bodies 11. The two support bodies 11 are located correspondingly in the aforementioned middle section of the frame 23.

[0065] In summary, the network cable extension electrical connector with a flippable cover and positionable design of the present invention can achieve the intended purpose and effect and address the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0066] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present application specification and drawings are also included in the scope of protection of the present invention and are hereby stated.
