[0032] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 A high-performance waterproof network port socket according to an embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the high-performance waterproof network port socket is mainly used in triple-proof notebook devices. Under the premise of ensuring that the performance of the triple-proof notebook is not affected, the waterproof performance and connection stability of the network port socket are improved, and the filling material of the network port waterproof is reduced, thereby achieving lightweight of the notebook device and making the notebook device have both weight and waterproof performance.

[0034] The high-performance waterproof network port socket includes a terminal housing 100, in which a plug slot 110 and a metal pin 130 are arranged, and the bottom of the plug slot 110 is provided with plug holes 120 arranged at equal intervals, one end of the metal pin 130 penetrates into the plug slot 110 from the plug hole 120, and the other end extends to the rear of the terminal housing 100. Specifically, the shape of the plug slot 110 conforms to the RJ45 structural standard, and the number of the metal pins 130 is eight, which meets the connection requirements of 100M, 1G and 10G network cables.

[0035] A limit seat 140 is provided at the bottom end surface of the plug slot 110. The limit seat 140 is provided around the peripheral protrusion of the plug hole 120 to prevent the metal pins 130 in the corresponding plug slot 110 from bending. The number of limit seats 140 corresponds to the number of metal pins 130. The limit seat 140 wraps the part of the metal pin 130 extending into the plug slot 110, which can effectively prevent the metal pin 130 from being bent due to lateral stress or the adjacent metal pins 130 from accidentally touching each other. After the limit seat 140 is provided corresponding to each group of metal pins 130 to wrap the end of the metal pin 130, the network port socket can prevent the metal pin 130 from being bent due to force during the flushing and cleaning process, thereby improving the structural strength of the metal pin 130.

[0036] Among them, a waterproof filler (not shown in the accompanying drawings) is filled between the limit seat 140 and the plug hole 120, and the waterproof filler is used to seal the plug hole 120. Specifically, the waterproof filler only fills part of the plug hole 120. Compared with the existing network port structure, the network port socket of the utility model uses less filler, which is beneficial to reduce the weight of the notebook device. The plug slot 110 of the utility model is only open at the plug hole 120. After the plug hole 120 is sealed, the waterproof performance of the network port socket is excellent. In order to provide space for the metal pin 130 to deform, the existing network port structure needs to groove the projection area of ​​the metal pin 130 perpendicular to the inner wall, so that the metal pin 130 can move elastically, resulting in an increase in the opening area, which is easy to seep water into the interior. The utility model adopts the adjusted metal pin 130 in conjunction with the plug slot 110 with a single row of openings to achieve good dust and water resistance, so that the waterproof and dustproof performance of the triple-proof notebook device is more outstanding.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the metal pin 130 includes an extension portion 131 and a contact portion 132. The extension portion 131 extends from the plug hole 120 and obliquely extends into the plug slot 110. The end of the extension portion 131 is connected to the contact portion 132, and the contact portion 132 is parallel to the bottom of the plug slot 110. Specifically, the extension portion 131 of the metal pin 130 is consistent with the structure of the existing metal pin 130, but the end of the metal pin 130 of the utility model, that is, the contact portion 132, is parallel to the end face of the plug slot 110 after bending, rather than the inclined structure of the prior art. The use of the parallel arrangement of the contact portion 132 structure can reduce the length of the metal pin 130 in the plug slot 110, and when the network cable plug is plugged into the network port socket, the contact area between the contact portion 132 and the contact point of the network cable plug is larger, thereby ensuring that the transmission of the wired connection is more stable, having a certain earthquake resistance, improving the earthquake resistance of the three-proof equipment, and enabling the three-proof equipment to maintain a stable connection to the wired network in a vibration environment.

[0038] In a further embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the length of the contact portion 132 is greater than the length of the contact point of the network cable plug, ensuring that the contact portion 132 can fully contact the contact point of the network cable plug, thereby improving the transmission stability of the network cable plug and the network port socket.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the limit seat 140 is protruded from the bottom end surface of the plug slot 110 and surrounds the periphery of the plug hole 120. The limit seat 140 is a U-shaped structure. Specifically, the limit seat 140 is integrally formed with the terminal housing 100 to ensure the structural strength of the limit seat 140.

[0040] In a further embodiment, the height of the stopper 140 is less than the distance from the network cable plug contact to the bottom of the plug-in slot 110, and the width of the stopper 140 is less than the width of the network cable plug contact slot. Specifically, when the network cable plug is connected to the network port socket, the contact position of the network cable plug is higher than the top end surface of the stopper 140, so that the plug-in process of the network cable plug contact and the metal pin 130 is smooth.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the terminal housing 100 adopts a sunken plate structure. Specifically, the sunken plate structure can reduce the overall thickness of the three-proof notebook, thereby reducing the thickness of the three-proof notebook. The terminal housing 100 adopts a sunken plate structure, which is a technical solution well known to those skilled in the art.

[0042] In a further embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a shielding cover 200, which wraps the front end and the upper half of the terminal housing 100. Specifically, the shielding cover 200 can prevent the electromagnetic field generated during the operation of the device from affecting the connection stability of the network port socket and the network cable plug.

[0043] In a further embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the two sides of the shielding cover 200 are extended with limit posts 210, which are integrally formed with the shielding cover 200 and are used to assist the terminal housing 100 in plugging with the mainboard. Specifically, the limit posts 210 can assist the shielding cover 200 in positioning and connecting with the mainboard, and the terminal housing 100 is connected to the circuit board through the metal pins 130. The shielding cover 200 and the terminal housing 100 are relatively fixed, and the shielding cover 200 can assist in fixing the position of the terminal housing 100, thereby improving the anti-seismic performance of the three-proof equipment.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes an indicator light assembly 160, which is embedded in both sides of the top of the terminal housing 100, and the pins of the indicator light assembly 160 extend backward to the outside of the terminal housing 100. Specifically, the indicator light assembly 160 can display the current working status of the network port socket.
