[0026] Furthermore, the thickness of the protective plate 319 is slightly thicker than that of the connecting plate 318, and the inner wall of the port 2 fits snugly with the outer wall of the protective plate 319. In this way, when the protective plate 319 is rotated to a vertical state, a section longer than the connecting plate 318 can be engaged with the inner wall of the port 2, thereby completing the closed protection of the port 2 and improving its protection effect.

[0027] Furthermore, the rollers 313 are distributed at the upper and lower ends of the support plate 314 in a vertically symmetrical structure, and the outer wall of the roller 313 fits snugly with the inner wall of the guide groove 312, so that the upper and lower ends of the support plate 314 can be supported and slid synchronously, thereby minimizing the friction force of pulling the pull plate 315 to the greatest extent and facilitating operation.

[0028] The positioning mechanism 32 includes a first spring 321, a second groove is provided on the outer wall of the switch 1, a sliding hole is provided on the inner wall of the second groove, one end of the first spring 321 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole, the end of the first spring 321 away from the sliding hole is fixedly connected to a sliding column 322, the end of the sliding column 322 away from the first spring 321 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 323, a third groove is provided on the outer wall of the connecting block 323, a second spring 324 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the third groove, a positioning rod 325 is fixedly connected to the end of the second spring 324 away from the third groove, and a shift rod 326 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning rod 325.

[0029] Furthermore, the outer wall of the positioning rod 325 is movable and passes through the bottom end of the inner wall of the third groove, and the outer wall of the positioning rod 325 fits snugly with the inner wall of the positioning hole, so that the positioning rod 325 can be inserted into the positioning hole and fit with the positioning hole at the same time, thereby improving the fitting stability of the positioning rod 325 after positioning.

[0030] Furthermore, there are two positioning rods 325 , which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the switch 1 , so that the left and right sides of the pull plate 315 can be positioned simultaneously, thereby improving the stability of the pull plate 315 after positioning.

[0031] The implementation principle of a switch port protection device of this embodiment is as follows: when port 2 needs to be protected and blocked, the pull plate 315 can be directly pulled to move outward, and the pull plate 315 will drive the support plate 314 and the roller 313 at its top to move, and the roller 313 rolls on the guide groove 312, thereby reducing the friction when pulling the pull plate 315, which is convenient for operation. When the pull plate 315 is pulled out until the protection plate 319 is completely exposed outside the switch 1, the torsion spring 316 can be elastically rotated to drive the rotating rod 317 to rotate. When the rotating rod 317 rotates, it will drive the connecting plate 318 to rotate, and at the same time drive the protection plate 319 to rotate. The protective plate 319 is rotated until it is perpendicular to the pull plate 315. At this time, the protective plate 319 will be engaged with the inner wall of the port 2 to complete the protective blocking effect on the port 2. When the switch 1 needs to be used, the pull plate 315 can be pushed into the inside of the switch 1. In the process of pushing the pull plate 315, the top of the inner wall of the slide groove 311 will squeeze the connecting plate 318, and the squeezed connecting plate 318 can drive the protective plate 319 to rotate. In the process of pushing, the protective plate 319 will gradually lie flat in the first groove at the top of the pull plate 315 until the pull plate 315 is completely pushed back into the switch 1, so that the port 2 can be exposed and the switch 1 can be used.

[0032] When the pull plate 315 is pulled out and the protection of the port 2 is completed, the lever 326 can be pulled outward to drive the connecting block 323 and the sliding column 322 to move outward. During the movement, the sliding column 322 will stretch the first spring 321 until the connecting block 323 is completely pulled out of the inner wall of the second groove opened on the outer wall of the switch 1. The lever 326 can be released and the second spring 324 can be elastically reset to push the positioning rod 325 to move downward until the positioning rod 325 is inserted into the card hole opened at the top of the support plate 314, and the positioning effect of the pull plate 315 can be completed. When releasing, the lever 326 is pushed upward to drive the positioning rod 325 to disengage from the card hole until the positioning rod 325 is completely retracted into the connecting block 323, and then the sliding column 322 and the connecting block 323 are retracted into the second groove through the pulling force of the first spring 321, thereby releasing the positioning effect of the pull plate 315.
