[0033] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 A dustproof and splashproof network port socket according to an embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the dustproof and splashproof network port socket includes a terminal housing 100, a shielding cover and an elastic dustproof baffle 300. The terminal housing 100 is provided with a plug-in slot 110 and a conductive terminal 112 arranged in the plug-in slot 110. The shape and structure of the plug-in slot 110 conform to the specifications of the RJ45 connector. There are 8 conductive terminals 112, which can be compatible with the insertion of 100M, 1000M and 1000M network cable plugs. On both sides of the plug-in slot 110, there are elastic clamping parts 113 integrally formed with the terminal housing 100. The elastic clamping parts 113 are symmetrically designed and are respectively arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the plug-in slot 110. When the network cable plug is inserted into the plug-in slot 110, the two elastic clamping parts 113 can clamp the two sides of the network cable plug. The existing network port socket usually adopts a non-clamping solution or a shielding cover is bent into the plug-in slot 110 to act as a clamping member. The former solution easily makes the connection between the network cable plug and the network port socket unstable, and it is easy to shake and cause fluctuations in the wired network connection. The shielding cover of the latter solution is a metal part. After long-term use, the clip is easily corroded by moisture and the network plug is easily worn. The utility model adopts an integrally formed elastic clamping part 113, which is made of non-metallic material and has stronger corrosion resistance. It also reduces the manufacturing cost of the shielding cover and ensures the long-term use stability of the network port socket.

[0035] The shielding cover wraps the outside of the terminal housing 100. Further, the shielding cover wraps the periphery of the opening end of the plug-in slot 110. The shielding cover only wraps the periphery of the opening of the plug-in slot 110, saving the clip part, reducing the consumable area of ​​the shielding cover, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the shielding cover.

[0036] One end of the elastic dust baffle 300 is connected to one side of the opening of the plug slot 110, that is, it is fixed to the periphery of the opening of the plug slot 110, and the other end extends to the opening of the plug slot 110 and covers the opening. When the network cable plug is plugged into the plug slot 110, the elastic dust baffle 300 is deformed toward the inner side wall of the plug slot 110. When the network cable plug is fully inserted into the plug slot 110, the elastic dust baffle 300 between the elastic clamping part 113 and the network cable plug can also play a role in filling the contact gap between the two and reducing noise, so that the connection between the network cable plug and the plug slot 110 is more stable. When the network cable plug is pulled out of the plug slot 110, the elastic clamping part 113 rebounds and resets, covering the opening of the plug slot 110, preventing dust and liquid from entering the plug slot 110, and protecting the network port socket.

[0037] Most of the existing network devices support wireless network connection, but the network port socket is idle for a long time, and dust or moisture easily enters the socket, causing the conductive terminal 112 or the shielding cover to be damaged, thus affecting the use of the network port socket, and causing the network port socket to be damaged and ineffective. The utility model improves the internal clamping structure of the plug slot 110 and adds a dustproof baffle, so that the network port socket of the network device can be kept in normal use when idle for a long time, thereby improving the stability and life of the network port socket.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the elastic dustproof baffle 300 includes symmetrically distributed side baffles 310 and a bottom baffle 320 arranged at the lower half of the opening of the plug-in slot 110. The sum of the widths of the side baffles 310 is not greater than the width of the plug-in slot 110, and the height of the bottom baffle 320 is less than the distance from the conductive terminal 112 to the opening of the plug-in slot 110.

[0039] Specifically, when the network cable plug is inserted into the plug slot 110, the side baffles 310 are forced to fold toward the inside of the plug slot 110, and the bottom baffle 320 is forced to fold toward the bottom of the plug slot 110. The height of the bottom baffle 320 is designed so that the bottom baffle 320 will not cover the conductive terminal 112 after being fully folded, ensuring that the plugging damping of the network cable plug and the network socket is not affected. The combination of the side baffles 310 and the bottom baffle 320 ensures that the side baffles 310 will not contact the conductive terminal 112 when folded toward the sides, preventing the side baffles 310 from contacting the conductive terminal 112 and affecting the plugging damping of the network cable plug.

[0040] In a further embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the bottom baffle 320 is in a trapezoidal shape, and a concave portion 312 is provided on one side of the side baffle 310 close to the bottom baffle 320. Specifically, the side baffle 310 and the bottom baffle 320 cooperate to make the opening and closing structure of the elastic dust baffle 300 open and close in a herringbone shape, which can prevent the elastic dust baffle 300 from touching the conductive terminal 112 during deformation.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the side baffle 310 is provided with elastic reinforcing ribs 311, which are used to enhance the resilience of the side baffle 310. Specifically, the elastic reinforcing ribs 311 are integrally formed with the side baffle 310, which can enhance the structural strength of the side baffle 310 and ensure that the side baffle 310 maintains resilience after long-term deformation.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic dust baffle 300 is made of elastic silicone material. Specifically, the elastic silicone material has an insulating effect and excellent material performance, which can ensure that the elastic dust baffle 300 maintains a certain rebound effect after long-term use.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, clamping grooves 114 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the plug-in slot 110, and elastic clamping parts 113 are provided in the clamping grooves 114. The elastic clamping parts 113 are arc-shaped and protrude from the bottom of the clamping grooves 114. When the network cable plug is plugged into the plug-in slot 110, the two elastic clamping parts 113 clamp both sides of the network cable plug.

[0044] Specifically, the clamping groove 114 can accommodate the lower half of the elastic clamping portion 113 to prevent excessive damping when the network cable plug is connected to the plug-in slot 110 and thus affect the plug-in and unplugging process.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the shielding cover wraps the base shielding cover 220 and the port shielding cover 210, the base shielding cover 220 is buckled with the bottom of the terminal housing 100, the port shielding cover 210 covers the top and the port of the terminal housing 100, and the port shielding cover 210 is buckled with the base shielding cover 220. Specifically, the shielding cover is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, which reduces the difficulty of processing.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, one end of the conductive terminal 112 is laid inside the plug slot 110 and bent to form an elastic contact 112-1, and the other end extends to the outside of the terminal housing 100. Specifically, the conductive terminal 112 is 8 metal PINs that do not touch each other and are arranged at equal intervals on the base of the plug slot 110. When the network cable plug is connected to the plug slot 110, the conductive terminal 112 is connected to the contact of the network cable plug. The conductive terminal 112 is a technical solution well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, indicator light components 115 are provided on both sides of the top of the terminal housing 100, and the pins of the indicator light components 115 extend backward to the outside of the terminal housing 100. Specifically, the indicator light component 115 is used to display the working status of the network port socket. The indicator light component 115 is a technical solution well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
