[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , which is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. The communication adapter 10 includes: a circuit board 110; a first inner interface portion 120 and a second inner interface portion 130, fixedly installed on one side of the circuit board 110; at least one first inner interface 121 and at least one second inner interface 131 are respectively provided on the first inner interface portion 120 and the second inner interface portion 130; an outer interface portion 140, fixedly installed on the other side of the circuit board 110 and electrically connected to the first inner interface portion 120 and the second inner interface portion 130, and an outer interface 141 is provided on the outer interface portion 140.

[0036] As Figure 3 shown, the communication adapter 10 is provided with two groups of communication adapters, namely a first internal interface 121 and a second internal interface 131. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the first internal interface 121 is an RJ45 interface, and the second internal interface 131 is an RS485 interface. The number of the first internal interface parts 120 is one, and two first internal interfaces 121 are provided on the first internal interface part 120. The number of the second internal interface parts 130 is two, and one second internal interface 131 is provided on each of the second internal interface parts 130. The communication adapter 10 can support both RS485 and RJ45 communications simultaneously, and there are up to 5 combination schemes (RS485*1 + empty, RS485*2, RJ45*1 + empty, RJ45*2, RS485*1 + RJ45*1), which has the advantage of flexibility. It can be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, the numbers of the first internal interface 121, the second internal interface 131, and the external interface 141 can be set according to requirements. The following further details each of the above components respectively.

[0037] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the communication adapter 10 mainly includes a circuit board 110, a first internal interface part 120, a second internal interface part 130, an external interface part 140, a first waterproof pad 210, a second waterproof pad 220, and a mounting plate 300.

[0038] The circuit board 110 is in a flat plate shape. The first internal interface part 120 and the second internal interface part 130 are fixedly installed on one side of the circuit board 110, and the external interface part 140 is fixedly installed on the other side of the circuit board 110.

[0039] The first internal interface part 120 is installed at the middle position of the circuit board 110, and is in a cube shape as a whole, and at least one first internal interface 121 is provided thereon. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, two first internal interfaces 121 are provided on the first internal interface part 120.

[0040] The number of the second internal interface parts 130 is two. The two second internal interface parts 130 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first internal interface part 120, and two second internal interfaces 131 are provided on each of the second internal interface parts 130.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the external interface part 140 is in a cylindrical shape and is connected to the first internal interface part 120 and the second internal interface part 130. An external interface 141 is provided on the external interface part 140.

[0042] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the communication adapter 10 further includes a waterproof cover 500. The waterproof cover 500 is detachably mounted at the free end of the external interface portion 140 so as to shield the external interface 141. Preferably, the waterproof cover 500 is threadedly coupled to the free end of the external interface portion 140. More preferably, the waterproof cover 500 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 300 or sleeved on the external interface portion 140 by means of a long rope or the like, which can prevent loss. When the adapter plug 20 is not connected to the communication adapter 10, the waterproof cover 500 can be fastened to the free end of the external interface portion 140. It can be achieved that when the adapter plug 20 is not connected to the communication adapter 10, the communication adapter 10 also has an IP65 protection rating.

[0043] A first waterproof pad 210 and a mounting plate 300 are fixedly sleeved on the external interface portion 140. The mounting plate 300 is arranged close to the external interface portion 140, and the first waterproof pad 210 is arranged close to the first internal interface portion 120 and the second internal interface portion 130. The communication adapter 10 of the present application further includes a second waterproof pad 220, which is fixedly sleeved on the external interface portion 140 and is arranged between the external interface portion 140 and the mounting plate 300.

[0044] As Figure 2 shown, a non-loosening screw 400 is mounted on the mounting plate 300. The communication adapter 10 of the present application is fixed to the starting box of the bus duct or the tap-off unit box body by the non-loosening screw 400. When it is necessary to remove the communication adapter 10 during maintenance or repair, only the non-loosening screw 400 needs to be screwed out by hand, and then the communication adapter 10 of the present application can be removed from the box body, which is convenient and fast. At the same time, the first internal interface 121 and the second internal interface 131 can be installed in the secondary chamber space of the starting box or the tap-off unit box body, and there is no electric shock danger during maintenance or removal. It can be understood that the connection manner between the communication adapter 10 of the present application and the starting box of the bus duct or the tap-off unit box body can be extended from the non-loosening screw 400 to any one or more of other screw connections, plug connections or hinge connections.

[0045] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, another embodiment of the present application discloses a communication adapter assembly, which includes the above-mentioned communication adapter 10 and an adapter plug 20. The adapter plug 20 is detachably connected to the free end of the external interface portion 140. Specifically, the adapter plug 20 includes a connection nut 201 and a tightening nut 202, and the connection nut 201 and the tightening nut 202 are threadedly connected together. Among them, the adapter plug 20 is threadedly connected to the free end of the external interface portion 140 through the connection nut 201, or is detachably connected together by other structures such as plugging. Further, a sealing ring (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the connection nut 201, so that the protection level of the communication adapter 10 can be improved, ensuring that the communication adapter 10 reaches the IP65 protection level and is downward compatible with other protection levels at the same time. The tightening nut 202 is threadedly connected to the communication line 30. Preferably, the tightening nut 202 is configured to have a tightening function, and the communication line 30 and the adapter plug 20 can be tightened through an embedded bushing to prevent water from entering.

[0046] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, yet another embodiment of the present application discloses another communication adapter assembly, which includes the above-mentioned communication adapter 10, an adapter plug 20, and a communication line 30. One end of the adapter plug 20 is detachably connected to the free end of the external interface portion 140, and the other end is detachably connected to the communication line 30.

[0047] The protection level of this communication adapter assembly can reach up to IP65 at most; no additional tools are required for maintenance, and it can be completed only by hand; at the same time, it is adapted to both RS485 and RJ45 interfaces and can be flexibly applied.

[0048] The above content is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, based on the idea of the present utility model, many changes can be made in the specific implementation manners and application scopes. As long as these changes do not depart from the concept of the present utility model, they all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
