Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of network ports, in particular to a network port structure. Background Art

[0002] Current wireless networks, gateways, networking wizards and other products usually reserve network ports for network cable access. In related technologies, one solution is to expose the network port directly, and another solution is to use upper and lower sliding baffles. When the network port is not in use, the baffle is lowered to cover the network port, and when the network port is needed, the baffle is raised to expose the network port. However, the former solution is prone to dust accumulation and is difficult to clean when the frequency of use is low or it is not used for a long time, which affects the performance of the network port. The exposed design of the network port makes the network port abrupt and unsophisticated, affecting the visual experience of the product. The latter solution requires one hand to hold the network cable and the other hand to move the baffle when plugging and unplugging the network cable, which is inconvenient to operate and affects the user experience.

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0030] The network port structure 100 proposed according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the mesh port structure 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes: a mounting seat 1, a cover plate 2 and a limiting member 3, the mounting seat 1 has a mesh port 11, the cover plate 2 is movably arranged on the mounting seat 1, and the cover plate 2 has an avoidance hole 21, the limiting member 3 is arranged on the mounting seat 1, and the limiting member 3 can be moved to a locked position or an unlocked position relative to the mounting seat 1, when the limiting member 3 moves to the locked position, the limiting member 3 is used to limit the movement of the cover plate 2 relative to the mounting seat 1, when the limiting member 3 moves to the unlocked position, the cover plate 2 is movable relative to the mounting seat 1 so that the avoidance hole 21 and the mesh port 11 are relative or staggered.

[0032] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the limiting member 3 has a locking position and an unlocking position, and the limiting member 3 can move back and forth between the locking position and the unlocking position relative to the mounting seat 1. For example, Figure 1 As shown, when the limit member 3 moves to the locking position, the limit member 3 limits the cover plate 2, and the limiting methods include but are not limited to abutment limiting, tightening limiting, etc. At this time, the limit member 3 limits the movement of the cover plate 2 relative to the mounting seat 1, and when the limit member 3 moves to the unlocking position, the limit member 3 stops limiting the cover plate 2. For example, the limit member 3 separates from the cover plate 2 after moving to the unlocking position. At this time, the limit member 3 is no longer in contact with the cover plate 2, and the cover plate 2 can move relative to the mounting seat 1.

[0033] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 1 is provided with a network port 11, and the cover plate 2 is provided with an avoidance hole 21. During the movement of the cover plate 2 relative to the mounting base 1, the avoidance hole 21 of the cover plate 2 can be moved to a position opposite to the network port 11, or can be moved to a position offset from the network port 11. When the avoidance hole 21 moves to a position opposite to the network port 11, the network port 11 is exposed from the avoidance hole 21. At this time, the network port 11 can be connected to an external network cable. When the avoidance hole 21 moves to a position offset from the network port 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate 2 can cover the network port 11, thereby hiding the network port 11 and preventing impurities such as dust or water from entering the network port 11. At the same time, the hidden design of the network port 11 can also improve the visual experience of the product and avoid the abruptness and unsophistication caused by the exposure of the network port 11.

[0034] Further, as a specific example, Figure 1 As shown, the initial position of the limiter 3 is in the locked position as an example for explanation. When the network port 11 needs to be used, Figure 3 As shown, the limit member 3 is driven to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the limit member 3 stops limiting the cover plate 2. At this time, the cover plate 2 is movable relative to the mounting seat 1. Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the cover plate 2 is driven so that the avoidance hole 21 of the cover plate 2 is opposite to the network port 11. At this time, the network port 11 is exposed and the network port 11 can be connected to an external network cable. When the network port 11 is not needed, the network cable is unplugged, and the limiter 3 is kept in the unlocked position. Then the cover plate 2 is driven so that the avoidance hole 21 of the cover plate 2 is staggered with the network port 11, thereby realizing the hiding of the network port 11. With such a setting, the state of the network port 11 is quickly switched. It can be understood that in the whole process, the driving of the cover plate 2 and the plugging and unplugging of the network cable can be realized by one hand, which is simple and convenient to operate, and is conducive to improving the user experience. Furthermore, after the cover plate 2 covers the network port 11 to hide the network port 11, the limiter 3 can be driven to move from the unlocked position to the locked position, so as to re-limit the movement of the cover plate 2 through the limiter 3, thereby avoiding the failure of the cover plate 2 to be covered due to accidental contact.

[0035] According to the network port structure 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, after the limit member 3 is moved to the unlocked position, when the network port 11 needs to be used, the cover plate 2 is driven to move so that the avoidance hole 21 and the network port 11 are opposite to each other, so that the network port 11 is exposed; when the network port 11 is not needed, the cover plate 2 is driven to move so that the avoidance hole 21 and the network port 11 are staggered, that is, the network port 11 is covered by the cover plate 2, thereby realizing the hiding of the network port 11, ensuring the protection of the network port 11 when the network port 11 is not in use, realizing the dust and water resistance of the network port 11 in the hidden state, and the covering of the network port 11 by the cover plate 2 can also improve the visual experience of the product. At the same time, after the limit member 3 is moved to the unlocked position, the cover plate 2 can be driven and the network cable can be plugged in and out with one hand, which is simple and convenient to operate, and is conducive to improving the user experience. In addition, when the limit member 3 is moved to the locked position, the activity of the cover plate 2 can be restricted to avoid the failure of the cover due to accidental contact.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting seat 1 has a mounting groove, and the limiting member 3 is movably disposed in the mounting groove, so that the limiting member 3 can be moved to a locked position or an unlocked position.

[0037] Specifically, the mounting groove can be constructed into a shape matching the limiting member 3, and the limiting member 3 can be movably arranged in the mounting groove. For example, part of the limiting member 3 is located in the mounting groove and can move up and down relative to the mounting groove. When the limiting member 3 is driven to move downward so that the limiting member 3 and the cover plate 2 are no longer in contact, for example, the limiting member 3 is completely located in the mounting groove, and the limiting member 3 no longer restricts the cover plate 2, and the cover plate 2 can move relative to the mounting seat 1, that is, the limiting member 3 moves to the unlocking position. When the limiting member 3 is driven to move upward so that part of the limiting member 3 extends out of the mounting groove, if the limiting member 3 abuts against the cover plate 2, the limiting member 3 can limit the cover plate 2, that is, the limiting member 3 moves to the locking position. In this way, the locking or unlocking of the cover plate 2 can be achieved by driving the limiting member 3 to move in the mounting groove, and the structure is reliable and the operation is simple.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 1 has a mounting plane, and the mounting slot and the network port 11 are both arranged on the mounting plane.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 1 has a mounting plane, the cover plate 2 can be constructed as a plate-like structure, the mounting groove and the network port 11 are both arranged on the mounting plane, a limiter 3 is movably arranged in the mounting groove, the cover plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1, and the bottom wall of the cover plate 2 is opposite to the mounting plane. Further, as shown Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the shape of the mounting groove matches the shape of the avoidance hole 21 , and when the driving cover plate 2 rotates relative to the mounting seat 1 , the avoidance hole 21 selectively faces the mounting groove or the network port 11 .

[0040] Further, as a specific example, Figure 1 As shown, the initial position of the limiter 3 is in the locked position as an example for explanation. At this time, at least a portion of the limiter 3 is located in the avoidance hole 21, and the limiter 3 abuts against the cover plate 2 through the avoidance hole 21. When the network port 11 needs to be used, Figure 3 As shown, press the limit piece 3 in the installation groove to make the limit piece 3 sink, so that the limit piece 3 is separated from the cover plate 2, thereby stopping the limitation of the cover plate 2, and then drive the cover plate 2 to rotate so that the avoidance hole 21 of the cover plate 2 is opposite to the network port 11. At this time, the network port 11 is exposed and can be connected to an external network cable. When the network port 11 is not needed, unplug the network cable, keep the limit piece 3 in the unlocked position, and then drive the cover plate 2 to make the avoidance hole 21 of the cover plate 2 staggered with the network port 11, thereby realizing the hiding of the network port 11. It can be understood that when the cover plate 2 is driven to rotate until the avoidance hole 21 is opposite to the installation groove, the limit piece 3 in the installation groove can be driven to move upward to restore the limit piece 3 to its original position. At this time, the limit piece 3 and the avoidance hole 21 are re-abutted, thereby realizing the abutment limitation of the cover plate 2. Such arrangement realizes the reuse of the avoidance hole 21 , and the network port 11 can be exposed through the avoidance hole 21 , and the avoidance hole 21 can also be used to achieve abutment assembly with the limit member 3 , which can further simplify the design and help save costs.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting base 1 has a mounting plane and a side wall, the network port 11 is arranged on the mounting plane, and the mounting groove is arranged on the side wall.

[0042] Specifically, the mounting groove can be set on the side wall of the mounting seat 1, so that the limit member 3 is set in the mounting groove on the side wall of the mounting seat 1, and the network port 11 is set on the mounting plane, the cover plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 1, and the bottom wall of the cover plate 2 is opposite to the mounting plane. When the cover plate 2 is driven to rotate relative to the mounting seat 1, the avoidance hole 21 is selectively opposite to or staggered with the network port 11. For example, the cover plate 2 is provided with an abutment hole opposite to the mounting groove on the side wall of the mounting seat 1. The initial position of the limit member 3 is in the locked position as an example for explanation. At this time, the limit At least a portion of the member 3 is located in the abutment hole, and the limiting member 3 abuts and limits the cover plate 2 through the abutment hole. When the limiting member 3 in the installation groove is pressed, the limiting member 3 sinks to separate the limiting member 3 from the abutment hole of the cover plate 2, thereby stopping the limitation of the cover plate 2. At this time, the cover plate 2 can be rotated to a position where the avoidance hole 21 is opposite to or staggered with the network port 11. When the cover plate 2 covers the network port 11 to hide the network port 11, the limiting member 3 in the installation groove can be driven to return to its original position. At this time, the limiting member 3 abuts against the abutment hole again, thereby achieving the abutment limitation of the cover plate 2.

[0043] In some embodiments of the utility model, the mounting seat 1 has a first guide portion, and the cover plate 2 is provided with a second guide portion that is assembled with the first guide portion, and the guide cooperation between the first guide portion and the second guide portion enables the cover plate 2 to rotate relative to the mounting seat 1. Specifically, the outer surface of the mounting seat 1 is provided with a first guide portion, and the inner surface of the cover plate 2 is provided with a second guide portion that is assembled with the first guide portion. The first guide portion can be installed on the second guide portion and can move relative to the second guide portion. When the cover plate 2 is driven, the guide cooperation between the first guide portion and the second guide portion enables the cover plate 2 to rotate relative to the mounting seat 1. At the same time, the mutual cooperation between the first guide portion and the second guide portion can ensure the stability of the cover plate 2 and the mounting seat 1 when they rotate, and avoid displacement during the rotation process.

[0044] In some embodiments of the utility model, the first guide portion extends along the circumferential direction of the mounting seat 1, and the second guide portion extends along the circumferential direction of the cover plate 2. Specifically, the first guide portion can be arranged on the mounting plane of the mounting seat 1 or on the side wall of the mounting seat 1. For example, the first wire portion can be arranged as an annular structure along the mounting plane of the mounting seat 1 or as an annular structure along the side wall of the mounting seat 1. Further, the second guide portion is assembled with the first guide portion, that is, the cover plate 2 can be provided with an annular second guide portion assembled with the first guide portion on the bottom wall opposite to the mounting plane, or can be provided with an annular second guide portion assembled with the first guide portion on the side wall of the cover plate 2. As a specific example, the first guide portion is constructed as an annular groove, and the second guide portion is constructed as an annular guide rail. The annular guide rail is installed in the annular groove and can rotate relative to the annular groove. Such an arrangement ensures the stability of the cover plate 2 and the mounting seat 1 when rotating, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0045] In some embodiments of the utility model, one of the first guide part and the second guide part is a guide groove, and the other of the first guide part and the second guide part is a guide protrusion, and the guide protrusion is arranged in the guide groove and is movable relative to the guide groove. That is to say, if the first guide part is configured as a guide groove, the second guide part is configured as a guide protrusion, and if the first guide part is configured as a guide protrusion, the second guide part is configured as a guide groove, and the guide protrusion is arranged in the guide groove and is movable relative to the guide groove. For example, the first guide part is configured as a guide groove, and the second guide part is configured as a guide protrusion. The guide groove extends along the circumferential direction of the mounting seat 1, and the guide protrusion can be multiple and arranged along the circumferential direction of the cover plate 2. The guide protrusion can rotate along the extension direction of the guide groove. Such an arrangement ensures the stability of the cover plate 2 and the mounting seat 1 when rotating, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the shape of the avoidance hole 21 is adapted to the shape of the stopper 3. Specifically, if the shape of the avoidance hole 21 is adapted to the shape of the stopper 3, that is, the shape of the avoidance hole 21 is consistent with the shape of the stopper 3, it should be noted that the size of the stopper 3 is slightly smaller than the size of the avoidance hole 21, such as the limiter 3 and the avoidance hole 21 are clearance-matched, when the limiter 3 is in the locking position, the outer wall of the limiter 3 and the inner wall of the avoidance hole 21 are more closely abutted, which is conducive to improving the locking effect of the limiter 3.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, it further includes: an elastic member, which is arranged on the mounting seat 1, and is suitable for driving the limit member 3 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position. Specifically, the limit member 3 can be constructed as a self-locking button switch, and the self-locking button switch is provided with an elastic member, and the elastic member is arranged on the mounting seat 1 along with the limit member 3. When the self-locking button switch is pressed for the first time, the self-locking button switch maintains the pressed position. When the self-locking button switch is pressed again, the elastic member of the self-locking button switch drives the self-locking button switch to return to the original position. With such a configuration, the self-locking button switch can be used as the limit member 3, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the self-locking button switch is pressed for the first time, the self-locking button switch moves downward, causing the limit member 3 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. When the self-locking button switch is pressed again, the elastic member of the self-locking button switch drives the switch to move from the unlocked position to the locked position. The structure is simple and reliable.

[0048] In some embodiments of the utility model, the elastic member is a spring. That is to say, a spring can be used as the elastic member, and other elastic materials can also be used as the elastic member, which is selected according to actual needs. The spring is easy to obtain and is conducive to cost saving.
