[0051] See also Figure 1-4 , a communication protocol converter, comprising:

[0052] A converter body 1, a communication interface 2 is provided on one side of the converter body 1;

[0053] A bottom shell 3 is installed on one side of the converter body 1, a connector limiting mechanism 14 is arranged inside the bottom shell 3, and the bottom shell 3 is located directly below the communication interface 2;

[0054] The joint clamping mechanism includes a top shell 4, a clamping assembly 8 and an unlocking assembly 9. The top shell 4 has the freedom of movement along the longitudinal axis of the bottom shell 3; the clamping assembly 8 is installed inside the top shell 4; the unlocking assembly 9 is installed on one side of the top shell 4, and the unlocking assembly 9 is matched with the joint limiting mechanism 14.

[0055] Inverted L-shaped slots 12 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the top shell 4 , and both sides of the top wall of the bottom shell 3 are matched with the corresponding inverted L-shaped slots 12 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the bottom shell 3 and the top shell 4 are provided to facilitate the installation of the communication connector and protect the communication connector. The communication connector can be stuck in the top shell 4 under the action of the clamping component 8, and the connector limiting mechanism 14 is provided to limit the communication connector after the communication connector is inserted into the communication interface 2 to prevent the communication connector from accidentally detaching. The unlocking component 9 is used to cooperate with the connector limiting mechanism 14, so that when the communication connector needs to be unplugged, the limit of the communication connector can be released and the communication connector can be removed smoothly.

[0057] Embodiment 2:

[0058] See also Figure 4-5 and Figure 8 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on the first embodiment:

[0059] The bottom wall of the top shell 4 is provided with a connector slot 5 for installing a communication connector, and the side wall of the connector slot 5 is symmetrically provided with two sliding slots 83;

[0060] A baffle 6 is symmetrically fixed to one side of the top shell 4 close to the converter body 1;

[0061] A groove 7 matching with the baffle 6 is formed on the side wall of the converter body 1 .

[0062] There are two groups of clamping assemblies 8, and the two groups of clamping assemblies 8 are respectively installed in the two sliding grooves 83;

[0063] The clamping assembly 8 includes a clamping block 81 and a first telescopic rod 82;

[0064] The clamping block 81 is slidably mounted in the corresponding sliding groove 83;

[0065] The first telescopic rod 82 is fixed between the side wall of the sliding groove 83 and the side wall of the clamping block 81;

[0069] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 8 is used to cooperate with the baffle 6 to fix the communication connector in the connector slot 5. The baffle 6 plays a limiting role to prevent the communication connector from extending to the outside of the connector slot 5, ensuring that the communication connector is just installed in the connector slot 5. The groove 7 is matched with the baffle 6, so after the communication connector is installed, the baffle 6 is located at the position of the groove 7, so the top shell 4 can fit with the converter body 1 after installation to avoid the occurrence of gaps. When installing the communication connector, the communication connector is directly pressed into the connector slot 5. When pressing, since the clamping block 81 is chamfered, the side wall of the communication connector will squeeze the clamping block 81 into the sliding groove 83, and the first telescopic rod 82 is compressed until the communication connector is pressed into the connector slot 5. At this time, under the action of the first telescopic rod 82, the clamping block 81 stably clamps the communication connector in the connector slot 5.

[0070] See also Figure 6 The top wall of the bottom shell 3 is provided with a joint chamber 13, and the side wall of the joint chamber 13 is symmetrically provided with two receiving grooves 142.

[0072] A second telescopic rod 143 is fixed between the side wall of the trapezoidal limiting block 141 and the side wall of the receiving groove 142;

[0073] An installation groove 144 is provided inside the side wall of the bottom shell 3 , and an L-shaped rod 145 is rotatably installed in the installation groove 144 . A metal soft rope 146 is fixed to the bottom end of the L-shaped rod 145 , and the top end of the L-shaped rod 145 extends to above the top wall of the bottom shell 3 .

[0074] The second telescopic rod 143 includes a second sleeve rod 1431, and one end of the second sleeve rod 1431 is slidably sleeved with a second movable rod 1432;

[0075] A second limiting plate 1433 is fixed to one end of the second movable rod 1432 located inside the second sleeve rod 1431;

[0076] A second spring 1434 is fixed between the second limiting plate 1433 and the inner wall of the second sleeve rod 1431;

[0077] A through hole 1435 is formed at one end of the second sleeve rod 1431 away from the second movable rod 1432, and one end of the metal soft rope 146 passes through the through hole 1435 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second limiting plate 1433;

[0078] A wire hole matching the metal cord 146 is provided inside the bottom shell 3 .

[0079] In this embodiment, the connector limiting mechanism 14 is set to enable the communication connector to be inserted into the communication interface 2 to limit the communication connector and prevent the communication connector from accidentally detaching. When using the connector limiting mechanism 14, the top shell 4 with the communication connector installed is plugged into the top of the bottom shell 3, and the two sides of the top wall of the bottom shell 3 are inserted into the corresponding inverted L-shaped slot 12 during plugging. When the side wall of the communication connector contacts the side wall of the trapezoidal limiting block 141, the trapezoidal limiting block 141 will be pushed into the receiving groove 142, and the second telescopic rod 143 will be compressed until the trapezoidal limiting block 141 completely enters the receiving groove 142, and the top shell 4 is continued to be pushed until the communication connector is completely inserted into the communication interface 2. At this time, the communication connector will not hinder the trapezoidal limiting block 141, and the trapezoidal limiting block 141 will be reset under the action of the second telescopic rod 143, thereby limiting the communication connector.

[0080] See also Figure 5 , the unlocking assembly 9 includes a C-shaped plate 91 slidably mounted on the top wall of the top shell 4;

[0081] A through slot 10 is formed on the top wall of the top shell 4 at a position corresponding to the vertical plate of the C-shaped plate 91;

[0087] In this embodiment, the unlocking component 9 is used to cooperate with the connector limiting mechanism 14, so that when the communication connector needs to be unplugged, the limit on the communication connector can be released and the communication connector can be removed smoothly; when the communication connector needs to be removed, the operator pinches the two sides of the top shell 4 with the thumb and middle finger, and places the index finger in the finger groove 93, and pushes the C-type plate 91 toward the converter body 1. During the movement of the C-type plate 91, the push block 92 is driven to move. During the movement of the push block 92, the top of the L-shaped rod 145 is pushed to move, thereby driving the L-shaped rod 145 to rotate. When the L-shaped rod 145 rotates, the bottom end drives the second movable rod 1432 to move into the second set rod 1431 through the metal soft rope 146, thereby driving the trapezoidal limiting block 141 to move into the accommodating groove 142 until the trapezoidal limiting block 141 completely enters the accommodating groove 142. At this time, the top shell 4 is pulled away from the converter body 1 to remove the communication connector.
