[0002] A multi-port network connector is a network device that has multiple network interfaces and can connect multiple networks or multiple devices in a network. This connector is usually used to expand the network, connect different types of networks (such as Ethernet and wireless networks), or provide redundant connections in complex network environments. In different application scenarios, multi-port network connectors may be called multi-port routers, multi-port switches, or multi-port bridges.

For the convenience of use, the existing multi-port network connectors are equipped with fixing plates at both ends of the multi-port network connectors, and mounting holes are reserved on the fixing plates to facilitate the installation of the multi-port network connectors on the wall or equipment rack. However, this installation method is fixed by bolts. When disassembling and assembling the multi-port network connector, the bolts need to be frequently removed, which is not only troublesome to disassemble, but also the frequent loosening and tightening of the bolts will cause grinding, resulting in unstable installation of the multi-port network connector.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a multi-port network connector includes: a network connector body 1, an Ethernet port 101 arranged on the outside of the network connector body 1, a plurality of serial ports 102 arranged on one side of the Ethernet port 101, a mounting plate 2 arranged on the back of the network connector body 1, mounting holes 201 are opened at four corners of the surface of the mounting plate 2, limiting components arranged on both sides of the outer end of the mounting plate 2, used for limiting and fixing the network connector body 1, and a heat dissipation component arranged at the bottom of the network connector body 1, used for dissipating heat and cooling the plurality of serial ports 102.

[0029] Among them, reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The limiting assembly includes: a limiting plate 3 installed on both sides of the outer end of the mounting plate 2, a fixing block 301 installed on the outer end of the limiting plate 3, a card slot 302 opened in the middle of the inner side of the limiting plate 3, and a card block 4 installed on both sides of the outer end of the network connector body 1 and engaged with the card slot 302.

[0030] When the network connector body 1 is used, if the network connector body 1 is installed on the wall, the mounting plate 2 is pressed against the wall to compare the position, the position mark of the mounting hole 201 is made, and a hole is drilled at the marked position with a drilling tool, and the mounting plate 2 is attached to the wall so that the mounting holes 201 at the four corners of the surface of the mounting plate 2 correspond to the positions of the holes drilled in the wall. At this time, the expansion bolts are inserted into the holes from the mounting holes 201, and the expansion bolts are knocked with tools to tighten them in the holes, so that the mounting plate 2 is fixed to the wall, and screw holes are provided on the mounting plate 2 and the fixing block 301. The limiting plate 3 and the fixing block 301 are pressed against the mounting plate 2 so that the screw holes on the fixing block 301 and the mounting plate 2 are aligned, and the bolts are screwed into the screw holes and tightened, so that the limiting plate 3 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 2 for use.

[0031] After the two limiting plates 3 are installed on the mounting plate 2, the card slots 302 on the inner sides of the limiting plates 3 are symmetrical to each other. At this time, the card blocks 4 on both sides of the outer end of the network connector body 1 are placed along the card slots 302, so that the card blocks 4 are clamped inside the card slots 302. Since the bottom end of the card slots 302 is closed, after the card block 4 is fully inserted into the card slots 302, the bottom end of the card slots 302 just supports and limits the card block 4, thereby limiting and fixing the network connector body 1 between the two limiting plates 3, which is convenient for installing and using the network connector body 1. This structure is a movable installation structure, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance of the network connector body 1, and solves the trouble of bolt fixing and disassembly, and the problem of frequent loosening and tightening of the bolts will cause grinding of the bolts, resulting in unstable installation of the multi-port network connector.

[0032] After the network connector body 1 is inspected and repaired, the card blocks 4 on both sides of the outer end of the network connector body 1 are put back along the card slot 302 so that the card blocks 4 are tightly clamped in the card slot 302 , which is convenient and quick.

[0033] Among them, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 A power adapter interface 103 is provided on one side of the Ethernet port 101 , a plurality of serial port indicator lights 104 are provided on the top of the serial port 102 , and an IP configuration button 105 is provided on one side of the serial port indicator light 104 .

[0034] After the network connector body 1 is installed and fixed, insert the power connector at the power adapter interface 103, and plug the power adapter into the socket to turn on the power, so that the network connector body 1 is powered on and used, and then insert the network cable plug into the Ethernet port 101 to connect to the network. After the serial port 102 is connected to the device through the serial port connector, the serial port indicator light 104 lights up, indicating that the network is normally used and network data transmission can be performed.

[0035] Among them, reference Figure 3-Figure 4 A groove a303 is formed at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the card slot 302, and a magnetic block 304 is installed inside the groove a303. A groove b401 is formed at the top and bottom of the outer wall of the card block 4, and an iron block 402 is installed inside the groove b401.

[0036] When the card slot 302 and the card block 4 are in use, the magnetic block 304 and the iron block 402 are fixedly installed inside the groove a303 and the groove b401 respectively. Since the length, width and diameter of the groove a303 and the groove b401 are consistent with those of the magnetic block 304 and the iron block 402, after installation, the magnetic block 304 is flush with the inner wall surface of the card slot 302, and the iron block 402 is flush with the outer wall surface of the card block 4. When the card block 4 is inserted into the card slot 302, the iron block 402 on the outer wall of the card block 4 is directly opposite to the magnetic block 304 on the inner wall of the groove a303, so that the iron block 402 and the magnetic block 304 are magnetically fixed together, thereby increasing the stability between the card block 4 and the card slot 302.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Based on Example 1, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The heat dissipation component includes: a box body 6 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 2, a heat dissipation fan 601 fixedly mounted on one side of the inside of the box body 6, an air inlet 602 is opened at a position relative to the outside of the box body 6 and the heat dissipation fan 601, a partition 603 fixedly mounted on one side of the top of the heat dissipation fan 601, and multiple exhaust pipes 604 mounted on the top of the partition 603, and the multiple exhaust pipes 604 pass through the box body 6 and are located at the bottom of the network connector body 1.

[0039] After the network connector body 1 is installed on the mounting plate 2 for use, the network connector body 1 is located at the top of the box body 6, and the multiple exhaust pipes 604 penetrate the box body 6 and are located at the bottom of the network connector body 1. When the network connector body 1 generates heat during operation and the multiple serial ports 102 are connected and transmitted to generate heat, the heat dissipation fan 601 is started to work, and the heat dissipation fan 601 blows air toward the bottom of the partition 603, so that the air is blown from the multiple exhaust pipes 604 to the bottom of the connection between the network connector body 1 and the multiple serial ports 102, and the connection between the network connector body 1 and the multiple serial ports 102 is cooled by blowing air, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation speed, allowing the surrounding heat to be quickly dissipated into the air, avoiding heat accumulation at the connection of the multiple serial ports 102, and preventing the connection of the serial ports 102 from being damaged by heat.

[0040] Among them, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A support plate 5 is installed at the bottom of the limiting plate 3, and multiple support blocks 501 are installed on the top of the support plate 5. Through holes 7 are opened between the multiple support blocks 501. Multiple spacer blocks 8 are installed between the two limiting plates 3, and sponge blocks are provided at the outer ends of the multiple spacer blocks 8.

[0041] When the network connector body 1 is installed on the mounting plate 2, the bottom of the network connector body 1 is supported by the support plate 5 and the support block 501, so that the network connector body 1 is placed firmly, and the multiple support blocks 501 have spacing spaces, which does not affect the heat dissipation of the network connector body 1. After the multiple exhaust pipes 604 pass through the box body 6, they will extend from the through hole 7 to the bottom of the network connector body 1, so that the exhaust pipes 604 can be arranged on the network connector body 1 for blowing and heat dissipation.

[0042] The back side of the network connector body 1 is separated from the mounting plate 2 by a spacer block 8 to prevent the network connector body 1 from being directly attached to the mounting plate 2, so that the back side of the network connector body 1 also has a heat dissipation space to avoid heat accumulation on the network connector body 1, and the sponge block provides a soft layer protection for the network connector body 1 to prevent the outer shell of the network connector body 1 from being damaged by collision.

[0043] Among them, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A control switch 9 is installed on the outside of the box body 6. The control switch 9 is connected to the cooling fan 601 through an electric wire. A switch button is provided on the control switch 9. A power cord 901 is installed at the bottom of the control switch 9. A plug is provided at one end of the power cord 901.

[0044] When the cooling fan 601 is in use, the control switch 9 is connected to the cooling fan 601 through an electric wire, and the power cord 901 is connected to the control switch 9. After the plug at one end of the power cord 901 is plugged into the socket on the wall, the control switch 9 and the cooling fan 601 are connected to the power supply, and the cooling fan 601 can be controlled to start and stop by the switch button. The control program involved in the utility model can be implemented by those skilled in the art according to the same or similar principles in the prior art. This part is not the innovation of the utility model.

[0046] The above is a detailed introduction to a multi-port network connector provided in an embodiment of the present application. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the technical solutions and core ideas of the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents, and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
