Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to a protective door structure and a connector having the same. Background Art

[0002] Connectors such as gateways and sockets can realize signal connection or electrical connection between different devices, and are generally connected to the electronic devices in the connector using cables. Such connectors all need to be provided with a protective door structure. For example, a network port protective door will be provided on the gateway. When performing the connection operation, the network port protective door needs to be opened to facilitate the wiring operation of the cable. In the related art, an elastic structure is generally used to drive the closure of the protective door structure. When wiring operations are required, the operator needs to use his hand to overcome the elastic force of the elastic structure to push the protective door open. At the same time, the protective door needs to be kept in an open state, and then the cable is plugged in with the other hand. The above structural design is not convenient for one-handed operation, and during the operation, the hand used to keep the protective door in an open state is easy to block the cable plugging operation. It can be seen that this type of protective door structure design in the related art brings inconvenience to the on-site operator. In addition, with the increase in the length and number of uses, the elastic structure often ages and fails due to plastic deformation, and the problem of "the overall function of the connector can still be achieved but the protective door structure fails" will occur, reducing the user's experience.

[0031] The embodiments of the present application 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 with the same or similar functions. The embodiments based on the embodiments are intended to be used to explain the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0032] References to "one embodiment" or "an example" or "an example" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment itself may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in the present application. The appearance of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0033] This embodiment provides a protection door structure, which can be applied to connectors such as gateways and sockets. Figures 1 to 8 As shown in , the protective door structure includes a plate body 1, a baffle 2, a first positioning assembly 3 and a second positioning assembly 4. The plate body 1 is provided with a connection port 10, and the baffle 2 is movably provided on the plate body 1 and can be switched between an open position and a closed position relative to the plate body 1. When the baffle 2 is in the open position, the connection port 10 is connected, and when the baffle 2 is in the closed position, the connection port 10 is closed. The first positioning assembly 3 is used to position the baffle 2 in the open position when the baffle 2 is in the open position, and the second positioning assembly 4 is used to position the baffle 2 in the closed position when the baffle 2 is in the closed position.

[0034] The first positioning component 3 and the second positioning component 4 are respectively used to position the baffle 2 at the open position and the closed position. In this way, when performing a cable plugging operation, after the baffle 2 is moved to the open position, the baffle 2 can be positioned by the first positioning component 3, and the operator does not need to hold the position of the baffle 2 by hand. Therefore, the operation can be performed with one hand, and there is no need to worry about blocking the cable.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the protective door structure provided in this embodiment is applied to a connector as an example for explanation. The connector includes a shell 5, an electronic device arranged in the shell 5, and the above-mentioned protective door structure provided in this embodiment. Specifically, the connector is a gateway (inter-network connector), and the electronic device includes a main control board 6, a power board 7 and an RJ45 socket 8. Among them, the plate body 1 in the protective door structure is formed in the shell 5, and the baffle 2 is located in the shell 5. Specifically, the shell 5 includes a front shell 50, a bottom shell 51, a power board cover 53 and a main control board cover 52. Among them, the front shell 50 and the bottom shell 51 cover each other to form a cavity, and the power board cover 53 and the main control board cover 52 are arranged in the cavity. The plate body 1 in the protective door structure is formed on the front shell 50, and the baffle 2 is located in the above-mentioned cavity.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the baffle 2 in the protective door mechanism provided in this embodiment is slidably arranged on one side surface of the plate body 1. Specifically, two spaced-apart slide rails 11 are arranged on one side surface of the plate body 1, and the two slide rails 11 are oppositely provided with slide grooves adapted to the baffle 2, and the baffle 2 is slidably arranged in the above-mentioned slide grooves.

[0037] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in , the first positioning assembly 3 in this embodiment includes a first positioning member 30 arranged on the plate body 1 and a first docking member 31 arranged on the baffle 2, and the first positioning member 30 and the first docking member 31 are magnetically matched. The second positioning assembly 4 includes a second positioning member 40 arranged on the plate body 1 and a second docking member 41 arranged on the baffle 2, and the second positioning member 40 and the second docking member 41 are magnetically matched. Specifically, the first positioning member 30, the first docking member 31, the second positioning member 40 and the second docking member 41 in this embodiment are all magnets. That is, along the length direction of the slide rail 11, magnets are respectively arranged on the outer parts of the plate body 1 at both ends of the slide rail 11. Correspondingly, magnets are respectively arranged at both ends of the baffle 2. The magnet as the first positioning member 30 and the magnet as the first docking member 31 have different magnetic poles and can attract each other. Similarly, the magnet as the second positioning member 40 and the magnet as the second docking member 41 have different magnetic poles and can attract each other.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown in , when the baffle 2 is in the closed position, the first positioning member 30 and the first docking member 31 are away from each other, and the second positioning member 40 and the second docking member 41 are close to each other and attracted to each other, so that the baffle 2 is positioned in the closed position; as shown in Figure 8As shown in , when the baffle 2 is in the open position, the second positioning member 40 and the second docking member 41 are away from each other, and the first positioning member 30 and the first docking member 31 are close to each other and attracted to each other, so that the baffle 2 is positioned in the open position.

[0039] As mentioned above, the first positioning member 30, the first docking member 31, the second positioning member 40 and the second docking member 41 in this embodiment are all magnets. It is easy to understand that in other optional embodiments, one of the first positioning member 30 and the first docking member 31 is a magnet, and the other can be a metal member that can be attracted by a magnet. Similarly, one of the second positioning member 40 and the second docking member 41 is a magnet, and the other can be a metal member that can be attracted by a magnet.

[0040] Furthermore, in other optional embodiments, the structure of the first positioning component 3 or the second positioning component 4 may also be changed. For example, when the first positioning component 3 adopts the solution provided in this embodiment (the first positioning component 3 includes a first positioning member 30 provided on the plate body 1 and a first docking member 31 provided on the baffle 2, and the first positioning member 30 and the first docking member 31 are magnetically matched), the second positioning component 4 may select the following structure: the second positioning component 4 includes a second elastic member provided on the plate body 1 and a second pressure-bearing portion formed on the baffle 2, and the second elastic member applies pressure to the second pressure-bearing portion so that the baffle 2 always has a tendency to move toward the closed position. Alternatively, when the second positioning component 4 adopts the solution provided in this embodiment, the first positioning component 3 may select the following structure: the first positioning component 3 includes a first elastic member provided on the plate body 1 and a first pressure-bearing portion formed on the baffle 2, and the first elastic member applies pressure to the first pressure-bearing portion so that the baffle 2 always has a tendency to move toward the open position. That is, the magnetic attraction matching solution provided in this embodiment can be used only on one side to position the baffle 2, while the elastic structure solution in the related art can still be used on the other side to position the baffle 2. Of course, it is easy to understand that when the solution provided in this embodiment is used, since the first positioning component 3 and the second positioning component 4 are both magnetic attraction matching solutions, the aging problem that is easy to occur in the elastic structure in the related art after long-term use can be avoided.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown in , in this embodiment, mounting blocks 21 are provided at both ends of the baffle 2, and mounting blocks 21 are provided with mounting grooves, and first docking members 31 and second docking members 41 are respectively provided in the mounting grooves of the two mounting blocks 21. The magnets serving as the first docking members 31 and the second docking members 41 can be fixed in the mounting grooves by interference fit or snap connection. In an optional embodiment, the magnets can also be fixedly mounted on the baffle 2 by welding or screw connection.

[0042] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in , the scheme of installing the magnet by setting the mounting block 21 in this embodiment can also facilitate the realization of the following scheme: when the baffle 2 in this embodiment is in the open position, there is a first set gap between the first positioning member 30 and the first docking member 31; and when the baffle 2 is in the closed position, there is a second set gap between the second positioning member 40 and the second docking member 41. Specifically, it is only necessary to design the size of the mounting groove to be slightly larger than the size of the magnet, so that after the magnet is installed, the magnet is located in the mounting groove and has a small distance from the end of the opening of the mounting groove. When the baffle 2 is in the open position, due to the limitation of the mounting block 21, the magnet as the first docking member 31 located in the mounting groove cannot be in contact with the first positioning member 30 (that is, the two have the first set gap), which can prevent the magnet from being damaged by collision. The above-mentioned first set gap and second set gap are generally small gaps less than 5mm.

[0043] It is easy to understand that in other optional embodiments, a limiting structure can also be set on the plate body 1 or on the slide rail 11 located on the plate body 1, and the sliding stroke of the baffle 2 is limited by the limiting structure, so that when the baffle 2 is in the open position, a first set gap is formed between the first positioning member 30 and the first docking member 31; similarly, when the baffle 2 is in the closed position, a second set gap is formed between the second positioning member 40 and the second docking member 41.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, for the convenience of operation, the baffle 2 in this embodiment is also provided with a push plate 20 extending into the connection port 10 and located in the connection port 10. The operator can drive the baffle 2 to slide along the slide rail 11 by pushing the push plate 20. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the operator to contact and push the push plate 20, the structure of the connection port 10 is also designed in this embodiment. Specifically, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the connection port 10 in this embodiment has a first inner wall and a second inner wall spaced apart along the sliding direction of the baffle 2. The push plate 20 is in contact with the first inner wall when the baffle 2 is in the open position, and is in contact with the second inner wall when the baffle 2 is in the closed position. In this embodiment, an avoidance slope 100 is provided on both the first inner wall and the second inner wall for allowing the push plate 20 to partially extend out of the first inner wall and the second inner wall.

[0045] The above are only specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present application will be included in the scope of the claims.
