[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0033] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 6 The utility model describes a network cable interface.

[0034] An embodiment of the utility model provides a network cable interface, comprising a mounting plate 1 and a terminal 2.

[0035] The mounting plate 1 is used as the basic supporting structure of the entire network cable interface, and a square hole 101 is provided on the mounting plate 1; the shape of the terminal 2 matches the square hole, so that the terminal 2 can be accurately installed and positioned. The terminal 2 is used to connect the network cable or other transmission cables to realize signal transmission.

[0036] A straight flange structure is provided on the mounting plate 1, and the straight flange structure includes a first right-angled side 3 and a second right-angled side 4. The first right-angled side 3 is integrally connected to the mounting plate 1, providing structural strength and stability; the second right-angled side 4 is in contact with and clamped with the terminal 2, and the length of the second right-angled side 4 is h, h≥3mm. The setting of this size can, on the one hand, enhance the clamping effect and prevent the terminal 2 from loosening, and on the other hand, ensure the feasibility of the processing technology, while also reducing the material cost of the straight flange structure.

[0037] The mounting plate 1 is provided with an oblique flange structure, which includes a first oblique edge 5 and a second oblique edge 6. The first oblique edge 5 is integrally connected to the mounting plate 1; the second right-angled edge 4 and the second oblique edge 6 are both clamped with the terminal 2, and the second oblique edge 6 and the second right-angled edge 4 act together on the terminal 2 to achieve a double clamping effect. The angle between the first oblique edge 5 and the second oblique edge 6 is α, 30°<α<60°; the purpose of this setting is to ensure sufficient clamping force and avoid excessive insertion resistance, thereby improving the convenience of installation.

[0038] The network cable interface provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a mounting plate 1 and a terminal 2, and the mounting plate 1 is integrally connected with a first right-angled side 3 and a first hypotenuse 5, the second right-angled side 4 is integrally connected with the first right-angled side 3, the second hypotenuse 6 is integrally connected with the first hypotenuse 5, and the second right-angled side 4 and the second hypotenuse 6 are both clamped with the terminal 2, which can realize simple installation of the network cable interface, with fewer installation accessories and lower cost.

[0039] In a feasible embodiment of the utility model, a claw 7 is provided on one side of the terminal 2, and the claw 7 is fixedly engaged with the second right-angled side 4, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the network cable interface. The claw 7 forms a tight engagement relationship with the second right-angled side 4, thereby ensuring that the terminal 2 will not loosen due to external force or vibration after installation. The shape and size of the claw 7 need to be carefully designed to ensure a tight fit with the second right-angled side 4. Its shape may be similar to a hook or a bump, which can be firmly embedded or hooked into the second right-angled side 4. The claw 7 is usually made of the same material as the terminal 2, such as metal or plastic, to ensure sufficient strength and durability. In order to facilitate installation and disassembly, the claw 7 has a certain elasticity. In this way, during installation, the claw 7 can be slightly deformed to adapt to the shape of the second right-angled side 4, and return to its original state after being installed in place to achieve a tight engagement.

[0040] The network cable interface provided by the embodiment of the utility model, when installing the terminal 2, first insert the bottom of the terminal 2 into the square hole 101, and make it initially contact with the straight flange structure and the oblique flange structure. Then, continue to push the terminal 2 downward so that the claw 7 contacts and engages with the second right-angled side 4. Due to the design of the claw 7, it will automatically lock on the second right-angled side 4 to form a stable connection. The clamping fixation of the claw 7 to the second right-angled side 4 not only increases the stability of the terminal 2 in the vertical direction, but also improves the stability of the overall connection by increasing the contact area and friction. This double clamping design (straight flange structure and claw 7) together ensures the high reliability of the network cable interface.

[0041] In a feasible embodiment of the utility model, a flange rib 8 is provided on the side of the terminal 2 opposite to the claw 7, and the flange rib 8 is clamped and fixed with the second bevel 6. As a reinforcing structure on the bottom side of the terminal 2, the flange rib 8 has the main function of forming a tight clamping relationship with the second bevel 6, thereby increasing the stability and firmness of the terminal 2 in the installation position. The shape and size of the flange rib 8 are carefully designed to ensure a tight fit with the second bevel 6. It may appear as a protruding rib or rib that can be embedded and locked along the inclination angle of the second bevel 6. The flange rib 8 is made of the same material as the terminal 2, ensuring sufficient strength and durability. The flange rib 8 needs to have a certain rigidity to provide stable support, and may also require a certain elasticity to adapt to slight deformations during installation.

[0042] In the network cable interface provided by the embodiment of the utility model, when installing the terminal 2, the flange rib 8 will gradually approach the second bevel 6 as the terminal 2 is inserted. When the terminal 2 reaches the predetermined position, the flange rib 8 will slide in and lock along the inclination angle of the second bevel 6 to form a stable snap-on connection. The snap-on fixation of the flange rib 8 and the second bevel 6 not only increases the stability of the terminal 2 in the vertical direction, but also prevents the terminal 2 from moving or rotating in the horizontal direction by increasing the contact area and friction. This design makes the connection of the network cable interface more secure and reliable.

[0043] By providing a flange rib 8 on the bottom side of the terminal 2 and clamping and fixing it with the second bevel 6, the network cable interface provided by the embodiment of the utility model has been significantly improved in terms of stability and connection strength. This design not only improves the durability and reliability of the interface, but also reduces the risk of failure caused by looseness or vibration. At the same time, due to the ingenious design of the flange rib 8, it can provide additional support and fixing effect for the network cable interface without increasing the difficulty of installation.

[0044] In a feasible embodiment of the utility model, the claw 7 and the flange rib 8 have the same limiting direction for the terminal 2, and only the claw 7 can be elastically deformed. The claw 7 and the flange rib 8 are designed to play a role in the same limiting direction as a dual mechanism for limiting and fixing the terminal 2, but only the claw 7 has the characteristic of elastic deformation. The stability and installation convenience of the network cable interface are further refined. The claw 7 and the flange rib 8 are both designed to limit the terminal 2 in the same direction, which ensures that the terminal 2 can remain stable in this direction after installation and is not prone to displacement or loosening. This synergy enhances the overall stability of the network cable interface. Only the claw 7 is endowed with the characteristic of elastic deformation, which is to provide the necessary flexibility during the installation process. When the terminal 2 is inserted into the square hole 101 of the mounting plate 1, the claw 7 can be slightly deformed to adapt to the slight deviation or resistance during the installation process. Once the terminal 2 reaches the predetermined position, the claw 7 will return to its original state and firmly clamp on the second right-angle edge 4 to achieve a stable connection.

[0045] Correspondingly, the flange 8 can be designed as a rigid structure, the main function of which is to provide stable support and prevent the terminal 2 from moving in the horizontal direction. Since the flange 8 does not have the ability of elastic deformation, it can maintain a stable shape and position after installation, further enhancing the stability of the network cable interface.

[0046] The double limiting mechanism of the claw 7 and the flange 8 jointly ensures the stability of the terminal 2 after installation, reducing the risk of loosening due to external force or vibration. The elastic deformation of the claw 7 makes the installation process smoother and more convenient, reducing the difficulty and time cost of installation.

[0047] Through the structural arrangement of the claws 7 and the flange ribs 8, the network cable interface of this embodiment performs well in terms of stability, durability and reliability.

[0048] In a feasible embodiment of the utility model, a stretching sink 9 is provided on both sides of the square hole 101, and the stretching sink 9 can be formed on the substrate by injection molding, stamping or other processing methods. The main function of the stretching sink 9 is to provide additional support and positioning points to better fix and support the components inserted into the square hole 101. The design of the stretching sink 9 can increase the overall strength and stability of the structure.

[0049] Support ribs 10 are provided on both sides of the terminal 2. The support ribs 10 are limited by the stretching sink 9. The stretching sink 9 and the claw 7 are limited in opposite directions to limit the movement of the terminal 2 in one direction. The main function of the support ribs 10 is to enhance the rigidity and stability of the terminal 2 to prevent deformation or damage during insertion or use. At the same time, the support ribs 10 also play a role in cooperating with the stretching sink 9 to limit the position, ensuring that the terminal 2 can be accurately inserted into the square hole 101 and maintain a stable connection state during use.

[0050] When the terminal 2 is inserted into the square hole 101, the support ribs 10 on both sides thereof will contact and interact with the stretching sink 9. This contact not only provides additional support force, but also ensures the correct positioning and stability of the terminal 2 in the square hole 101. The matching limit between the support ribs 10 and the stretching sink 9 can prevent the terminal 2 from moving or falling off when subjected to external force, thereby ensuring the reliability and durability of the connection.

[0051] In a feasible embodiment of the utility model, the stretching sink 9 and the straight flange structure and the oblique flange structure are located on the same side of the mounting plate 1. This design ensures that when the terminal 2 is inserted, it can be doubly limited by the stretching sink and the straight flange structure at the same time, thereby improving the stability of the connection; and makes the structure of the entire network cable interface more compact, which is conducive to saving space and reducing manufacturing costs. In addition, the installer can more easily insert the terminal 2 into the correct position and ensure its stable connection, reducing the complexity and error rate during the installation process. Multiple limiting and fixing mechanisms (stretching sink, straight flange structure and oblique flange structure) work together to provide all-round support and fixation for the terminal 2, ensuring the stability and reliability of the network cable interface during use.

[0052] In a feasible embodiment of the present invention, the support ribs 10 on each side of the terminal 2 are arranged in pairs, and a pair of support ribs 10 are respectively located on the top and bottom sides of the side of the terminal 2. This arrangement ensures that the terminal 2 is evenly supported in the vertical direction and prevents deformation and damage caused by uneven force. The support ribs 10 arranged on the four side walls of the terminal 2 are paired to limit the movement direction; the support ribs 10 on the opposite surfaces of the four side walls form a pair to limit the same-direction movement of the terminal 2.

[0053] The support ribs 10 can not only increase the rigidity of the terminal 2, but also enable it to maintain a stable shape and position during installation and use. The support ribs 10 arranged in pairs further enhance this effect and improve the overall deformation resistance of the terminal 2. In addition, in addition to enhancing rigidity, the support ribs 10 also play a role in positioning and limiting. When the terminal 2 is inserted into the square hole 101 of the mounting plate 1, the support ribs 10 will interact with the stretching sink 9 and other structures to ensure that the terminal can be accurately positioned in the predetermined position and prevent it from moving or rotating in the horizontal direction.

[0054] In a feasible embodiment of the utility model, the mounting plate 1 is a sheet metal plate, and the mounting plate 1 is made of a metal sheet by stamping, bending, stretching and other processes. The sheet metal plate is made of metal, has high mechanical strength and rigidity, and can withstand large loads and impacts. The sheet metal plate is easy to process into various shapes and sizes to meet different design requirements, and requires stamping, bending and other processes to manufacture parts with complex structures and high precision.

[0055] In a feasible embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the mounting plate 1 is d, 0.4 mm < d < 2.5 mm, which can ensure high strength and meet rigidity requirements.

[0056] In a feasible embodiment of the present invention, the side surface of the terminal 2 is clearance-matched with the square hole 101 , usually with a small clearance, and the terminal 2 cannot move up, down, left, and right by a large distance (less than 1 mm) in the square hole 101 .

[0057] In summary, the network cable interface provided by the utility model has few installation accessories, is easy to install, and the mold is easy to realize, thus saving energy.

[0058] A second aspect of the present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising the network cable interface as described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0059] The electronic device provided in this embodiment may be a computer, an air conditioner, or other electronic devices that can use a network cable interface.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
