[0030] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0031] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of the present utility model, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] The present utility model embodiment provides an Ethernet port structure, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0033] A base structure 201, one side of the base structure 201 is provided with an RJ45 contact layer 2011, and the other side is provided with a serial port interface 2012;

[0034] Circuit board 202, circuit board 202 is provided with a chip for converting serial port signals to network port signals, circuit board 202 is welded on base structure 201, and the chip is respectively connected to the serial port interface and the RJ45 contact layer;

[0035] The upper cover structure 203 and the base structure 201 are nested in the upper cover structure 203 to form a network port structure.

[0036] The base structure 201 is provided with an RJ45 contact layer 2011 on one side, and is also provided with a groove area for welding the circuit board 202. Through reasonable layout, space can be effectively saved.

[0037] The other side of the base structure 201 is provided with a serial port interface 2012, which is used to receive serial port signals. The RJ45 contact layer 2011 is provided with 8 pins for outputting network port signals.

[0038] The circuit board 202 is provided with a chip for converting serial port signals to network port signals. The circuit board 202 is welded to the base structure 201. Specifically, the circuit board 202 is welded to the groove area of ​​the base structure 201. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the structure before the circuit board 202 is welded to the base structure 201 and after the circuit board 202 is welded to the base structure 201 .

[0039] In order to realize the function of converting serial port signals into network port signals, the chip is connected to the serial port interface and the RJ45 contact layer 2011 respectively, so that the serial port signal input from the serial port interface 2012 is converted into a serial port signal by the chip and then output from the RJ45 contact layer 2011.

[0040] In order to realize the function of connecting the serial port to the network cable, the Ethernet port structure also includes: an upper cover structure 203, and the base structure 201 is nested in the upper cover structure 203 to form a network port structure. The network port structure can cover the crystal plug of the network cable connector to realize the transmission of the network port signal.

[0042] Because the circuit board 202 with the chip for converting serial port signals to network port signals is arranged inside the network port structure, the volume of the original serial port to network port module is effectively reduced, thereby being able to meet the needs of the integrated product market.

[0043] In a specific implementation, a physical data indicator light interface and a PHY connection indication interface are provided on the other side of the base structure.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, two fixing columns 2032 are provided at the bottom end of the upper cover structure 203 for fixing and supporting the network port structure.

[0047] In order to fix the network port structure on the new PCB board for integration, the two fixing columns 2032 are used to achieve integrated fixation.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the Ethernet port structure further includes: a shielding layer 204, which is coated on the outer layer of the Ethernet port structure, and is used to enhance the structural strength on the one hand, and can also play a role in shielding external signals on the other hand, by completely shielding the internal signal from the external signal, thereby improving the stability of the internal system. Fig.10 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a structure in which the shielding layer 204 is nested outside the network port structure; Fig.11 It is a schematic diagram of the structure after the shielding layer 204 is nested outside the network port structure.

[0049] Specifically, the shielding layer 204 specifically adopts any of the following structural layers:

[0050] Nickel white copper, stainless steel and tinplate. Each structural layer has its own advantages and disadvantages.

[0051] The shielding layer 204 may also have holes, which are generally used for heat dissipation.
