Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, specifically to a robust structure for port connections in computer network equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A communication switch is a network device that performs information exchange in a communication system. It can provide a dedicated electrical signal path for any two network nodes connected to the switch. The most common type of switch is the Ethernet switch, also known as a PoE switch.

[0003] After the network cable is connected to the RJ45 connector, it is plugged into the switch interface. However, since switches usually have a large number of interfaces densely arranged and the operating space is narrow, it is often necessary to pull the network cable to remove the RJ45 connector when unplugging it. This can easily lead to the disconnection of the fiber optic cable and the RJ45 connector. In addition, the temperature near the switch in the cabinet is higher than the outside temperature, which accelerates the aging of the RJ45 connector contacts. After aging and breaking, it will affect the stability of the connection between the RJ45 connector and the switch, and thus affect the stability of the network.

[0004] Therefore, a new type of computer network device port connection reinforcement structure is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a robust structure for port connections of computer network devices.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A computer network device port connection reinforcement structure includes a connection bracket and a connection buckle. The connection bracket consists of a fixing buckle and a mounting slot. The fixing buckle is fixed to the port position of the switch by a fastening bolt. The mounting slots on both sides of the fixing buckle are aligned with the switch interface. The connection buckle covers and is fixed to the outside of the RJ45 connector. A plug-in bolt is rotatably connected to the outside of the connection buckle. The connection bracket has a limiting structure along the plugging and unplugging direction of the RJ45 connector that engages with the thread of the plug-in bolt.

[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention: the connecting buckle includes a U-shaped substrate, which is attached to the upper and side surfaces of the crystal head. The bottom of the side surface of the substrate has a front clip protruding into the stepped structure of the bottom surface of the crystal head, and the end of the substrate has a downwardly bent tail clip that abuts against and limits the tail end face of the crystal head. The front and rear ends of the substrate have an upwardly bent front guide and a tail guide, respectively, and the plug-in screw is rotatably connected to the front guide and the tail guide.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: the front clip is a right-angled triangular structure protruding towards the center, with the inclined surface facing the direction of crystal head insertion.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: the front clip is connected to the substrate by a side flap formed by bending. The side flap is a vertical structure at the front end of the substrate, with its bottom end extending to the bottom surface of the crystal head, and is integrally bent with the front clip, and its top end extending upward to the height of the crystal head spring.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the side flap is a V-shaped structure with lateral protrusion, and protruding teeth are arranged in an array on both sides of the mounting slot along the insertion and removal direction of the crystal head, with the teeth on both sides arranged at intervals along the insertion and removal direction of the crystal head.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the plug-in bolt consists of a threaded rod, a sliding rod, and an end head. The sliding rod and the front and rear guides of the connecting buckle are slidably connected along the insertion and removal direction of the crystal head, while allowing free circumferential rotation. The two ends of the sliding rod are respectively connected to the threaded rod and the end head to axially limit the sliding stroke of the sliding rod. When the sliding rod moves to the end of the stroke along the insertion direction of the crystal head, the end head protrudes between the crystal head body and the spring. When the sliding rod moves to the end of the stroke along the removal direction of the crystal head, the end head disengages from the vertical projection range of the crystal head spring.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the front and rear guides are integrally bent and formed with cards and side ribs that cause structural contact with the substrate structure in the direction of pulling out and inserting the crystal head.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: there are feed plates protruding towards the middle on both sides of the mounting slot, and the mounting slot achieves thread engagement with the pull-out bolts from both sides through the feed plates.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: a horizontal wire clamp is provided on the side of the mounting slot where the crystal head is pulled out.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] 1. The fixing clip of this invention is fixed to the socket position of the switch by fastening bolts. The fixing clip has mounting slots on both sides that are aligned with the switch interface. The connecting clip covers and fixes the outside of the RJ45 connector. The outside of the connecting clip is rotatably connected to a plug-in bolt. The connecting bracket has a limiting structure along the plugging and unplugging direction of the RJ45 connector that engages with the thread of the plug-in bolt. The connecting bracket and the connecting clip are fixed to the switch and the RJ45 connector respectively. The plug-in bolt on the connecting clip and the connecting bracket are threadedly limited, which strengthens the connection between the RJ45 connector and the switch. At the same time, the plugging and unplugging of the RJ45 connector is driven by the rotation of the plug-in bolt, without the need for plugging and unplugging through the fiber optic cable. This effectively protects the connection between the fiber optic cable and the RJ45 connector and prevents the connection from becoming loose.

[0018] 2. The plug-in bolt of this invention consists of a threaded rod, a sliding rod, and an end head. The sliding rod and the front and rear guides of the connecting buckle are slidably connected along the plugging and unplugging direction of the crystal head, while allowing free circumferential rotation. The two ends of the sliding rod are respectively connected to the threaded rod and the end head to axially limit the sliding stroke of the sliding rod. When the sliding rod moves to the end of the stroke along the crystal head insertion direction, the end head protrudes between the crystal head body and the spring contact. That is, before the plug-in bolt drives the crystal head to be inserted into the switch, the plug-in bolt will first undergo relative displacement with the crystal head, so that the end head protrudes between the crystal head body structure and the spring contact, which restricts the downward pressure of the spring contact, locks the spring contact, and prevents the spring contact from loosening and affecting the spring contact locking function. When the sliding rod moves to the end of the stroke along the pull-out direction of the crystal head, the end head leaves the vertical projection range of the crystal head spring contact. That is, before the plug-in bolt drives the crystal head to leave the switch, the restriction of the spring contact by the end head will be released.

[0019] 3. The side flap of this invention is a V-shaped structure with lateral protrusion. The two sides of the mounting slot are arranged with protruding teeth along the insertion and removal direction of the crystal head. The teeth on both sides are arranged at intervals along the insertion and removal direction of the crystal head, so that the crystal head is alternately given lateral force from both sides during the insertion and removal process, which helps the crystal head to be inserted and prevents jamming caused by uneven force during insertion.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] This embodiment provides a computer network device port connection reinforcement structure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a connecting bracket 1 and a connecting clip 2. The connecting bracket 1 consists of a fixing clip 11 and a mounting slot 13. The fixing clip 11 is fixed to the port of the switch 5 by a fastening bolt 12. The mounting slots 13 are connected to both sides of the fixing clip 11 and are aligned with the interface of the switch 5. The connecting clip 2 covers and is fixed to the outside of the crystal head 4. A plug-in bolt 3 is rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting clip 2. The connecting bracket 1 has a limiting structure along the plugging and unplugging direction of the crystal head 4 that engages with the thread of the plug-in bolt 3. The connecting bracket 1 and the connecting clip 2 are fixed to the switch 5 and the crystal head 4 respectively. The plug-in bolt 3 on the connecting clip 2 and the connecting bracket 1 are threadedly limited, which strengthens the connection between the crystal head 4 and the switch 5. At the same time, the plugging and unplugging of the crystal head 4 is driven by the rotation of the plug-in bolt 3, without the need for plugging and unplugging through the fiber optic cable. This effectively protects the connection between the fiber optic cable and the crystal head 4 and prevents the connection from becoming loose.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the connecting clip 2 includes a U-shaped base plate 21, which is attached to the upper and side surfaces of the crystal head 4. At the bottom of the side of the base plate 21, there is a front clip 23 protruding towards the stepped structure of the bottom surface of the crystal head 4. The front clip 23 is a right-angled triangular structure protruding towards the center. It provides stable contact with the stepped structure of the bottom surface of the crystal head 4 through its plane, thus limiting and fixing it in the insertion direction and vertical upward direction of the crystal head 4. The inclined surface of the right-angled triangular structure faces the insertion direction of the crystal head 4, thereby guiding the front clip 23 to open to both sides and wrap the structure of the crystal head 4 when the connecting clip 2 is engaged with the crystal head 4. At the end of the base plate 21, there is a downwardly bent tail clip 24 that abuts against the end face of the tail of the crystal head 4 for limiting and fixing it in the opposite direction of pulling out the crystal head 4. The front and rear ends of the base plate 21 have an upwardly bent front guide 25 and a tail guide 27, respectively. The plug-in bolt 3 is rotatably connected to the front guide 25 and the tail guide 27.

[0033] The front clip 23 is connected to the substrate 21 by a side flap 22 formed by bending the two sides of the substrate 21. The side flap 22 is a vertical structure at the front end of the substrate 21, with the bottom end extending to the bottom surface of the crystal head 4 and the front clip 23 is bent in place. The top end extends upward to the height of the spring of the crystal head 4, thus protecting the spring from both sides and preventing the spring from breaking during operation. At the same time, by pinching the protruding part at the top of the side flap 22, the structure of the lower front clip 23 can be opened to release the connection between the crystal head 4 and the connecting buckle 2.

[0034] Specifically, the pull-in bolt 3 consists of a threaded rod 31, a sliding rod 32, and an end 33. The sliding rod 32 is slidably connected to the front guide 25 and the tail guide 27 of the connecting clip 2 along the insertion direction of the crystal head 4, while allowing free circumferential rotation. The two ends of the sliding rod 32 are respectively connected to the threaded rod 31 and the end 33 to axially limit the sliding stroke of the sliding rod 32. When the sliding rod 32 moves to the end of its stroke along the insertion direction of the crystal head 4, the end 33 inserts between the crystal head 4 body and the spring contact, that is, when the pull-in bolt 3 drives the crystal head 4... Before the connector 4 is inserted into the switch 5, the plug-in screw 3 will move relative to the connector 4, causing the end 33 to penetrate between the main structure of the connector 4 and the spring, thus limiting the downward pressure of the spring and locking the spring to ensure its locking function. When the slide bar 32 moves to the end of its stroke along the direction of the connector 4 being pulled out, the end 33 will leave the vertical projection range of the spring of the connector 4. That is, before the plug-in screw 3 drives the connector 4 to leave the switch 5, the restriction of the spring by the end 33 will be released.

[0035] Furthermore, the front guide 25 and the tail guide 27 are integrally bent and formed with a card 26 and a side rib 28 that cause structural contact with the substrate 21 structure in the direction of pulling out and inserting the crystal head 4. Thus, when the plug-in screw 3 exerts a force on the front guide 25 and the tail guide 27 in the direction of pulling out and inserting the crystal head 4, it supports the structure of the front guide 25 and the tail guide 27 and prevents the structure of the front guide 25 and the tail guide 27 from deforming.

[0036] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, there are feed plates 15 protruding towards the middle on both sides of the mounting slot 13. The mounting slot 13 achieves thread engagement with the plug-in bolt 3 from both sides through the feed plates 15. While generating driving force through thread engagement, it also reserves space for the passage of the fiber optic cable on the lower side.

[0037] The side flap 22 is a V-shaped structure with a lateral protrusion. The two sides of the mounting slot 13 are arranged with protruding teeth 14 along the insertion and removal direction of the crystal head 4. The teeth 14 on both sides are arranged at intervals along the insertion and removal direction of the crystal head 4, so that the crystal head 4 is alternately given lateral force from both sides during the insertion and removal process, which helps the crystal head 4 to be inserted and prevents jamming caused by uneven force during insertion.

[0038] The mounting slot 13 has a horizontal cable clamp 16 protruding from the side where the crystal head 4 is pulled out. This is used to organize the fiber optic cable bundle and guide it horizontally, making the cable neat and also leaving front space for the operation of the fastening bolt 12.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
