Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of servers, and in particular relates to a small server connector. Background Art

[0002] A common small server connector is the RJ45 connector, also known as an Ethernet connector. It is a standard connector used to connect computers, network devices, and servers. RJ45 connectors are commonly used to connect network devices such as routers, switches, and servers to provide network connectivity and data transmission. It is a convenient and reliable connector that is widely used in local area networks and wide area networks.

[0003] However, common small server connectors do not have a harness structure. Connectors without a harness structure may cause messy wiring. Without harnesses to fix and organize the connectors, the cables may spread out at will, making the entire connection area a mess. Such wiring is not only unsightly, but may also cause entanglement and confusion between cables, increasing the difficulty of management and maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to use cable clamps to fix the cables together to prevent them from spreading. In addition, you can also use tools such as cable management boxes or cable ties to neatly bundle the cables together to keep the connection area clean and orderly. For large networks or data centers, you may also need to use more professional cable management systems, such as bridges and cable troughs, which can more effectively manage and organize cables and improve cable reliability and performance.

[0005] Obviously, the existing wire harness structure and the connector are independent of each other, and there is no effective wire management measure at the connector end, which is not conducive to wire management at the connector end and fixation of the communication line.

The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the small server connector provided by the present invention is further described below based on the principle of the small server connector of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The small server connector includes: a connector housing 1 and a connector backplane, the connector backplane is installed in the connector housing 1; the wiring side of the connector housing 1 is fixedly connected to the wire harness frame 2. Figure 2 As shown, a screw rod 3 and a limit rod 21 are arranged in the wiring frame 2, the limit rod 21 is parallel to the screw rod 3, and a wiring area is formed between the limit rod 21 and the screw rod 3; a thread is provided on the outer surface of the screw rod 3, a sliding clamp 4 is sleeved on the screw rod 3, and a matching thread is also provided on the through hole surface of the sliding clamp 4 contacting the screw rod 3; the sliding clamp 4 includes a limit through hole, and the limit rod 21 passes through the limit through hole; the screw rod 3 is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 5; a plurality of interfaces are provided on the wiring side of the connector housing, and the plurality of interfaces are electrically connected to the connector backplane.

[0034] The operator can control the switch of the motor 5 through the button on the motor 5, and the sliding clamp 4 can be moved in the horizontal direction through the screw rod 3. By adjusting the horizontal position of the sliding clamp 4, the range of cable movement can be limited to a certain extent.

[0035] In order to further improve the cable fixing effect, such as Figure 3 As shown, a clamping structure is provided. Specifically, a fixed clamp block 6 is sleeved on the limit rod, and the side of the fixed clamp block 6 facing the screw rod 3 is a U-shaped groove, and the screw rod 3 passes through the U-shaped groove. The U-shaped groove plays a role of limiting, so as to prevent the fixed clamp block 6 from forming an open structure after rotation, and the cable cannot be blocked. In addition, the semicircular holes on the sliding clamp block 4 and the fixed clamp block 6 can be used to clamp and gather data cables. The adaptive clamping cable bundle structure can adapt to cable bundles of different sizes and shapes, so it can be used in connectors of different specifications, which improves the versatility and applicability of the connector. The adaptive clamping cable bundle structure can dynamically adjust the clamping force according to the characteristics of the clamped object, ensure the stable and reliable connection between the connector and the cable bundle, and reduce the problem of poor connection or looseness caused by changes in the size of the cable bundle. Compared with the fixed clamping structure, the adaptive clamping cable bundle structure does not need to manually adjust the clamping force or replace the clamping parts, which can simplify the installation and maintenance process of the connector and improve the installation efficiency. The adaptive clamping cable structure can control the clamping force more accurately to avoid damage to the cable harness caused by excessive clamping force, thereby extending the service life of the connector and the cable harness. Under different environmental conditions, the size and shape of the cable harness may change. The adaptive clamping cable structure can flexibly respond to these changes and maintain the stability and reliability of the connector. In general, the addition of an adaptive clamping cable structure can improve the versatility, stability and service life of the connector, while simplifying the installation process and making it more adaptable, bringing many advantages to the use of small server connectors.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 4 The connector backplane is encapsulated with a communication management chip, which is used to manage the communication status of the multiple interfaces.
