Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of network jumpers, in particular to a luminous line-finding network jumper. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of network communication technology, network jumpers, as an indispensable component in network connection, play a vital role in data transmission, device interconnection, etc. When connecting existing network jumpers, installers often rely on marking or manually identifying the two ends of the jumper for connection. However, in actual operation, especially in large data centers or environments with dense network wiring, due to the large number of jumpers and their close arrangement, installers often find it difficult to quickly and accurately identify the two ends of the same jumper, which not only reduces installation efficiency, but also brings great inconvenience to subsequent troubleshooting and maintenance work.
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, a network jumper design that uses a light-emitting module to find the line is adopted in the prior art. In this design, light-emitting LEDs are installed at both ends of the jumper, and a special circuit design is used to automatically turn on the power when the jumper is inserted, so that the identification plates at both ends are illuminated, thereby facilitating the installer to identify the same jumper. However, although this design solves the problem of identifying the two ends of the jumper to a certain extent, it also has some significant disadvantages.
[0004] First, since both ends of the jumper are always illuminated, whether the jumper is in working state or not, it will continue to consume power. Especially when there are many wires, this continuous power consumption will lead to serious energy waste. Secondly, the luminous area is relatively small or flat, which is easy to accumulate dust after long-term use. Once the dust covers the luminous area, it will make the sign difficult to identify, thus affecting the use of the jumper. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a network jumper with luminous line finding function.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the problem is:
[0007] A network jumper for luminous line search, comprising: a network cable, the network cable comprising a sleeve shell and an inner core wire; a first crystal head, the first crystal head is assembled at one end of the network cable, and the first crystal head protrudes toward the end of the network cable to form a first columnar light tube; a second crystal head, the second crystal head is assembled at the other end of the network cable, and the second crystal head protrudes toward the end of the network cable to form a second columnar light tube; a power connection area, the power connection area comprises a positive electrode terminal piece and a negative electrode terminal piece, and the power connection area is arranged on the side of the first crystal head and / or the side of the second crystal head; a connecting line, the connecting line is passed through the sleeve shell, and one end of the connecting line is connected to the positive electrode terminal piece, and the other end is connected to the negative electrode terminal piece, and the connecting line connects the first columnar light tube and the second columnar light tube in series.
[0008] By adopting the above scheme, firstly, the design sets columnar light tubes on the crystal heads at both ends of the network cable, sets a power connection area on the side of the crystal head, and connects the two columnar light tubes in series through a connecting line, so that the light-emitting function is activated only when needed by contacting the power connection area with an external power supply, avoiding the problem of energy waste caused by both ends of the jumper always being in a light-emitting state. Secondly, due to the design of the columnar light tube, the light-emitting area is relatively large and not in the same plane, and the risk of being completely covered by dust is minimal. In addition, the columnar light is more concentrated, so it is less likely to be covered by dust. Even after long-term use, it can maintain a good light-emitting effect, which is convenient for installers to identify the two ends of the jumper.
[0009] Furthermore, the first columnar light tube and the second columnar light tube both include: a light-emitting tube, which is made of a transparent material; a connecting tube, which is used to connect the light-emitting tube with the inside of the first crystal head or the second crystal head, and the light-emitting tube and the connecting tube are coaxially arranged; and a light source, which is used to irradiate light into the light-emitting tube.
[0010] By adopting the above solution, the two columnar light tubes achieve the goal of effectively emitting the light generated by the light source from the light tube through the coordinated work of the light tube, the connecting tube and the light source, making the light more obvious for observation.
[0011] Furthermore, the first crystal head and the second crystal head both include: a wire accommodating cavity, a first wiring channel is provided between the wire accommodating cavity and the connecting tube; a wire pressing portion, the wire pressing portion is used to press the inner core wire; and a plug-in portion, the plug-in portion is used to connect the network port.
[0012] By adopting the above solution, the first crystal head and the second crystal head can not only realize the stable connection between the network jumper and the network port, but also realize the transmission and lighting functions of the light source through components such as the connecting tube and the light-emitting tube, providing convenient and accurate identification for the installers during the wiring process.
[0013] Furthermore, the light source is arranged in the light-emitting tube or in the connecting tube or in a first wiring channel coaxial with the connecting tube to emit light into the light-emitting tube.
[0014] By adopting the above solution, through reasonable light source position design and function realization, the luminous line-finding network jumper can provide clear and reliable optical signals in complex wiring environments, providing great convenience for installers.
[0015] Furthermore, a convex lens is arranged in the light-emitting tube near the end.
[0016] By adopting the above solution, the convex lens has a refractive power, which can converge the light emitted from the light source, so that the light is more concentrated when leaving the light tube, thereby improving the brightness and visibility of the light signal.
[0017] Furthermore, a second wiring channel is provided between the wire accommodating cavity and the power connection area.
[0018] By adopting the above scheme, the second wiring channel is an indispensable part of the network jumper of the luminous line search. Through reasonable design and layout, it can not only ensure that the light source obtains enough power to emit bright light, but also provide necessary protection and support for the wires in the inner core wire.
[0019] Furthermore, the light source is an LED lamp.
[0020] By adopting the above solution, due to the space limitation of the network jumper, the LED lamp needs to have a smaller size for installation. At the same time, the small size of the LED lamp also helps to improve the integration of the entire product. Its advantages such as high efficiency, long life, good stability and fast response speed make it an ideal choice.
[0021] Furthermore, the power connection area adopts magnetic charging.
[0022] By adopting the above solution, not only the convenience and safety of charging are improved, but also the practicality and user experience of the product are enhanced.
[0023] Furthermore, two first columnar light pipes are provided and symmetrically arranged on the first crystal head; two second columnar light pipes are provided and symmetrically arranged on the second crystal head.
[0024] By adopting the above solution, the symmetrically arranged columnar light pipes not only enhance the aesthetics of the product, but also improve its recognition. Users can quickly judge the working status of the network jumper by observing the status of the columnar light pipes, such as whether it is connected, whether it is transmitting data, etc. When one of the columnar light pipes fails or is damaged, the other light pipe can still work normally, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the network jumper.
[0025] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the light-emitting tube is greater than the outer diameter of the connecting tube.
[0026] By adopting the above solution, it is helpful to produce a stronger and more obvious light effect, so that network jumpers or other devices are easier to be identified in a dim or complex environment.
[0027] In summary, the luminous line-finding network jumper provided by the utility model has the following technical effects:
[0028] 1. Efficient use of energy: By setting columnar light pipes at both ends of the network jumper and setting the power connection area on the side of the crystal head, combined with the connecting wire, the light-emitting function can be activated only when needed through an external power supply. This method avoids the continuous consumption of electricity caused by the two ends of the jumper always being in a light-emitting state, thereby significantly reducing energy waste, especially in large data centers or environments with dense network wiring, the energy-saving effect is particularly significant.
[0029] 2. Enhanced lighting effect: The design of the cylindrical light tube makes the lighting area relatively large and the light is more concentrated, which is not easily covered by dust. Compared with the traditional flat lighting area, the cylindrical light tube can maintain a good lighting effect even after long-term use, which is convenient for installers to quickly and accurately identify the two ends of the jumper.
[0030] 3. Improve operational efficiency: In large data centers or environments with dense network cabling, due to the large number of jumpers and their close arrangement, it is often difficult for installers to quickly and accurately identify the two ends of the same jumper. By adopting the luminous line-finding network jumper design, installers can quickly find the corresponding jumper through the luminous mark, greatly improving operational efficiency.
[0031] 4. Reduce maintenance costs: Due to the design of the columnar light tube, the light is not easily covered by dust, and the lighting function is activated only when needed, which can greatly reduce equipment damage and maintenance costs caused by dust covering or continuous lighting.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. 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.
[0041] Embodiment 1 of the present utility model is referred to Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a network jumper for luminous line search is disclosed, including a network cable 1, a first crystal head 2 and a second crystal head 3, the network cable 1 includes a sleeve shell 11, an inner core wire 12 and a connecting wire 13, the inner core wire 12 and the connecting wire 13 are arranged inside the sleeve shell 11, the first crystal head 2 is assembled at one end of the network cable 1, the second crystal head 3 is assembled at the other end of the network cable 1, the first crystal head 2 is convex toward one end of the network cable 1 to form a first columnar light pipe 21, the second crystal head 3 is formed with a second columnar light pipe 31 protruding outwardly at one end of the network cable 1; a power connection area 4 is arranged on the side of the first crystal head 2 and / or the side of the second crystal head 3, and the power connection area 4 includes a positive electrode terminal piece 41 and a negative electrode terminal piece 42. The connecting wire 13 is passed through the sleeve shell 11, and one end of the connecting wire 13 is connected to the positive electrode terminal piece 41, and the other end is connected to the negative electrode terminal piece 42. The connecting wire 13 connects the first columnar light pipe 21 and the second columnar light pipe 31 in series. With this arrangement, the lighting function is activated only when needed by contacting the power connection area 4 with an external power source, avoiding the problem of energy waste caused by the two ends of the jumper always being in a lighting state. Preferably, the negative electrode terminal piece 42 and the negative electrode terminal piece 42 of the power connection area 4 are connected to the external power source by magnetic charging. Optionally, a corresponding magnetic charger is used to connect to a 220V socket, or this system appliance is used in conjunction with a power bank to achieve the power supply effect of the power connection area 4. Due to the design of the cylindrical light tube, the luminous area is relatively large and not in the same plane, so the risk of being completely covered by dust is minimal. The cylindrical light is more concentrated, so it is less likely to be covered by dust. Even after long-term use, it can maintain a good luminous effect, making it easier for installers to identify both ends of the jumper.
[0042] Specifically, the first columnar light tube 21 and the second columnar light tube 31 each include a luminous tube 211, a connecting tube 212 and a light source 213. The luminous tube 211 is made of a transparent material. The connecting tube 212 is used to connect the luminous tube 211 with the inside of the first crystal head 2 or the second crystal head 3, and the luminous tube 211 and the connecting tube 212 are coaxially arranged. The light source 213 is used to irradiate light into the luminous tube 211. Preferably, the light source 213 uses an LED lamp, so that the light generated by the light source 213 is effectively emitted from the luminous tube 211, which is more obvious to observe. The transmission and luminous functions of the light source 213 can be realized through components such as the connecting tube 212 and the luminous tube 211, providing convenient and accurate identification for installers during the wiring process. The first crystal head 2 and the second crystal head 3 both include a wire accommodating cavity 32, a wire pressing portion 33 and a plug-in portion 34. A first wiring channel 35 is provided between the wire accommodating cavity 32 and the connecting tube 212. The wire pressing portion 33 is used to press the inner core wire 12. The plug-in portion 34 is used to connect the network port. A second wiring channel 36 is also provided between the wire accommodating cavity 32 and the power connection area 4 to achieve the connection between the connecting wire 13 and the light source 213. Optionally, the light source 213 is provided in the light-emitting tube 211 or in the connecting tube 212 or in the first wiring channel 35 coaxial with the connecting tube 212 to emit light into the light-emitting tube 211. Through the reasonable position design and function realization of the light source 213, the light-emitting network jumper can provide clear and reliable optical signals in a complex wiring environment, providing great convenience for the installer. In the present embodiment 1, two first columnar light pipes 21 are provided and symmetrically arranged on the first crystal head 2; two second columnar light pipes 31 are provided and symmetrically arranged on the second crystal head 3. It should be noted that a plurality of connecting wires 13 can be provided, and each connecting wire 13 is connected in series with at least one light source 213 on the first crystal head 2 and one light source 213 on the second crystal head 3, and each connecting wire 13 is connected in parallel. Thus, when one group of columnar light pipes fails or is damaged, the other group of light pipes can still work normally, thereby ensuring the function that the same network jumper can identify the two ends of the jumper.
[0043] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the luminous intensity of the luminous tube 211, a convex lens 2111 is provided near the end of the luminous tube 211. With this arrangement, the light emitted from the light source 213 can be converged, so that the light is more concentrated when leaving the luminous tube 211, thereby improving the brightness and visibility of the light signal.
[0044] In this embodiment 1, the outer diameter of the light tube 211 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting tube 212. This configuration helps to produce a stronger and more obvious light effect, making network jumpers or other devices easier to identify in dim or complex environments.
[0045] In summary, the luminous line-finding network jumper provided by the utility model has the following technical effects:
[0046] 1. Efficient use of energy: By setting columnar light pipes at both ends of the network jumper and setting the power connection area 4 on the side of the crystal head, combined with the connecting line 13, the light-emitting function can be activated only when needed by an external power supply. This method avoids the continuous consumption of electricity caused by the two ends of the jumper always being in a light-emitting state, thereby significantly reducing energy waste, especially in large data centers or environments with dense network wiring, the energy-saving effect is particularly significant.
[0047] 2. Enhanced lighting effect: The design of the cylindrical light tube makes the lighting area relatively large and the light is more concentrated, which is not easily covered by dust. Compared with the traditional flat lighting area, the cylindrical light tube can maintain a good lighting effect even after long-term use, which is convenient for installers to quickly and accurately identify the two ends of the jumper.
[0048] 3. Improve operational efficiency: In large data centers or environments with dense network cabling, due to the large number of jumpers and their close arrangement, it is often difficult for installers to quickly and accurately identify the two ends of the same jumper. By adopting the luminous line-finding network jumper design, installers can quickly find the corresponding jumper through the luminous mark, greatly improving operational efficiency.
[0049] 4. Reduce maintenance costs: Due to the design of the columnar light tube, the light is not easily covered by dust, and the lighting function is activated only when needed, which can greatly reduce equipment damage and maintenance costs caused by dust covering or continuous lighting.
[0050] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above-mentioned implementation mode, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
