[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a network switch with a port protection function, comprising a switch body 1, a plurality of network ports 14 are arranged at the rear end of the switch body 1, a port protection component 2 is arranged at the lower end of the network port 14, the port protection component 2 comprises a limit bar 21, a mounting groove 22 is arranged at the rear side of the network port 14, the limit bar 21 is installed in the mounting groove 22, a plurality of grooves 211 are arranged on the limit bar 21, the grooves 211 correspond to the network port 14, an angled groove 212 is arranged at the lower end of the limit bar 21, the angled groove 212 is located at the lower end of the groove 211, fixing holes 213 are arranged at both ends of the limit bar 21, fixing grooves 15 are arranged at both sides of the rear end of the switch body 1, and the two ends of the fixing groove 15 are fixed to the fixing groove 15 by bolts 3 passing through the fixing holes 213;

[0025] During use, the limit strip 21 is installed in the installation slot 22 of each network port 14, and the groove 211 thereon corresponds one-to-one with the network port 14 to achieve preliminary fixation and limitation of the port. The structural design of the angled groove 212 allows the limit strip 21 to break preferentially here when subjected to a certain tensile force. The limit strip 21 can release the tensile force by breaking here, thereby avoiding the tensile force from directly acting on the network port 14, effectively protecting the physical integrity of the port; the fixing hole 213 and the fixing slot 15 realize the firm installation of the limit strip 21 on the switch body 1. At the same time, when the limit strip 21 breaks due to the protection mechanism, the protection function of the port can be easily restored by replacing a new limit strip 21.

[0026] A mounting plate 11 is fixed to the front end of the switch body 1 , and the mounting plate 11 simplifies the installation process of the switch and facilitates fixing the switch body 1 to a wall, a rack or other designated installation locations.

[0027] A power port 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the switch body 1. The power port 12 is the entrance for the switch to obtain electric energy and is responsible for safely and stably transmitting the electric energy provided by the external power supply to the inside of the switch.

[0028] The switch body 1 is provided with heat dissipation hole groups 13 on both sides. The heat dissipation hole groups 13 are channels for dissipating heat inside the switch. The heat generated by the switch during operation is effectively discharged to the external environment to maintain the stability of the internal temperature of the switch.

[0029] A connection status light 141 is provided on the left side of the rear end of the network port 14, and a signal indicator light 142 is provided on the right side of the rear end of the network port 14. The connection status light 141 is mainly used to indicate the connection status of the network port 14 and the network cable or other network devices, and the signal indicator light 142 is used to indicate the status and speed of data transmission on the network port 14.

[0030] The limiting strip 21 is made of transparent PVC material, which allows light to penetrate, so that the connection status light 141 and the signal indicator light 142 located below the limiting strip 21 can be clearly observed.

[0031] As an embodiment of the present invention: when a network switch with a port protection function is used, when the network cable is suddenly pulled by external force, the pulling force will first act on the limit bar 21. Since the limit bar 21 is installed in the installation slot 22 of each network port 14 and corresponds to the network port 14 through the groove 211 on it, the initial fixation and limit of the port is achieved;

[0032] The design of the angled groove 212 allows the limit strip 21 to break preferentially at this location when subjected to a sufficiently large tensile force. This break releases the tensile force by sacrificing the limit strip 21 itself, thereby preventing the tensile force from directly acting on the network port 14, thereby protecting key parts of the port such as the pins and contact surfaces from physical damage.

[0033] Specifically, when a network switch with a port protection function encounters a sudden pull, it can quickly and effectively protect the physical integrity of the network port 14 through its unique limit bar 21 design, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the switch and the continuity of data transmission.

[0034] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
