It supports high-speed data transmission through optical fiber interfaces, has high durability and reliability, and is suitable for application scenarios that require stable, fast, and long-distance data transmission. This kind of switch is mainly used in industrial environments that require high bandwidth, low latency, and long-distance transmission.
[0003] Currently, multiple network cable sockets are usually provided on the outside of industrial switches. However, in the actual use process, some of these network cable interfaces may not be used. These unused network cable interfaces are usually directly exposed. Due to the lack of an effective protection structure, these exposed interfaces are easily invaded by pollutants such as dust, dirt, moisture, and oil stains. These pollutants will gradually accumulate on the contact points of the network cable interfaces, resulting in poor contact between the network cable plugs and the interfaces, thereby affecting the normal communication of the device. Content of the Utility Model

Fixed cross plates are connected to the outside of the two moving blocks. Sliding rings are fixedly connected to the right sides of the outside of the two cross plates. Arc-shaped clamping plates are fixedly connected to the outside of the two cross plates.
[0008] Further, insertion holes are formed inside the sealing plate, and the insertion rod is inserted into the insertion holes.
[0009] Further, a first through hole is formed at the rear side inside the mounting tube, and the insertion rod is slidably connected inside the first through hole.

Specific implementation manners
[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5, an embodiment provided by the present utility model: An industrial switch for high-speed fiber optic transmission, comprising a body 1. By providing the body 1, the body 1 serves as the main housing of the industrial switch and can protect the internal electronic components from external impacts. An installation shell 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the body 1. By providing the installation shell 4, it is convenient to install the network cable interface 5 and the power interface 3. Network cable interfaces 5 are provided on both sides inside the installation shell 4. By providing the network cable interfaces 5, it is convenient to connect the network cables. Sealing plates 6 are slidably connected to both sides inside the installation shell 4. By providing the sealing plates 6, it is convenient to seal and block the network cable interfaces 5. Guide blocks 8 are fixedly connected to both outer sides of the sealing plates 6. Guide rods 9 are fixedly connected to both sides inside the installation shell 4. The two guide blocks 8 are slidably connected to the outside of the two guide rods 9. First springs 10 are sleeved on the outside of the two guide rods 9. Installation pipes 11 are fixedly connected to both outer sides of the installation shell 4. Sliders 12 are slidably connected to the inside of the installation pipes 11. A plug rod 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side outside the slider 12. A moving rod 13 is fixedly connected to the front side outside the slider 12. A second spring 21 is sleeved on the outside of the moving rod 13. Installation blocks 17 are fixedly connected to both outer sides of the installation shell 4. A fixing component 18 is provided inside the left installation block 17. The fixing component 18 is used to fix the network cable. A jack 7 is provided inside the sealing plate 6. The plug rod 14 is inserted into the jack 7, improving the installation stability of the sealing plate 6. A first through hole 15 is provided at the rear side inside the installation pipe 11. The plug rod 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the first through hole 15. By providing the first through hole 15, it is convenient for the plug rod 14 to move. A second through hole 16 is provided at the front side inside the installation pipe 11. The moving rod 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the second through hole 16. By providing the second through hole 16, it is convenient for the moving rod 13 to move. An installation groove 2 is provided on the left side outside the installation shell 4. A power interface 3 is installed inside the installation groove 2. Installing the power interface 3 inside the installation groove 2 can effectively protect the interface, reduce the part of the interface exposed outside, and prevent it from being physically impacted, vibrated or mechanically worn in the industrial environment.
[0027] Specifically, when using this industrial switch, first, turn on the power supply to ensure that the switch is correctly connected to the power interface 3, and check whether the power indicator light is on to confirm that the device is powered on and in working condition. Subsequently, insert the network cable that needs to be used into the inside of the network cable interface 5, ensure that the network cable is tightly and firmly connected to the interface, and check whether the connection indicator light is normal to confirm that the network cable is well connected and data transmission is ready. For the network cable interface 5 that has no network cable inserted and is not needed, pull the moving rod 13. The moving rod 13 drives the externally fixed slider 12 to move together. The movement of the slider 12 simultaneously drives the insertion rod 14 to move. During the movement of the slider 12, the movement of the insertion rod 14 causes the second spring 21 sleeved outside the moving rod 13 to be compressed. As the insertion rod 14 continues to move, the second spring 21 gradually receives greater pressure, and the spring deforms to generate elastic energy storage. When the insertion rod 14 moves to a position aligned with the installation tube 11, the insertion rod 14 gradually inserts into the internal space of the installation tube 11. When the insertion rod 14 moves into the installation tube 11, the operator presses down the sealing plate 6. The pressing of the sealing plate 6 drives the guide blocks 8 fixed on both sides of it to move downward outside the two guide rods 9. The movement of the guide blocks 8 further guides the sealing plate 6 to accurately cover the network cable interface 5. When the sealing plate 6 drives the guide blocks 8 to move downward, the first spring 10 installed outside the two guide rods 9 is compressed and deformed. Continue to press down the sealing plate 6 until it completely covers the unused network cable interface 5. At this time, the sealing plate 6 is in a completely closed state, completely sealing and blocking the network cable interface 5. After completing the sealing operation, gradually release the moving rod 13. During this process, the second spring 21 generates a reaction force due to the previous compression, pushing the insertion rod 14 into the inside of the jack 7 to fix the sealing plate 6 in the blocking position, achieving effective sealing and blocking at the unused network cable interface 5. The sealing plate 6 can effectively prevent pollutants such as dust, dirt, oil, and moisture from entering the unused network cable interface 5, prevent pollutants from accumulating on the metal contacts, avoid poor contact between the network cable plug and the interface caused by pollutants, and ensure the connection stability of the device.
[0028] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6, the fixing component 18 includes a bidirectional lead screw 1801 which is rotatably connected inside the left mounting block 17. The left mounting block 17 is provided to facilitate the installation of the bidirectional lead screw 1801. A turntable 1802 is fixedly connected to the top of the bidirectional lead screw 1801 to facilitate the operation of the operator. Moving blocks 1803 are threadedly connected to both sides of the outside of the bidirectional lead screw 1801. Cross plates 1804 are fixedly connected to the outside of the two moving blocks 1803 to facilitate the installation of the arc-shaped clamping plates 1805. Sliding rings 1806 are fixedly connected to the right sides of the outside of the two cross plates 1804. Arc-shaped clamping plates 1805 are fixedly connected to the outside of the two cross plates 1804. A slide bar 19 is fixedly connected inside the right mounting block 17. The two sliding rings 1806 are slidably connected to the outside of the slide bar 19. The slide bar 19 is provided to guide the two sliding rings 1806. Protective pads 20 are arranged inside the multiple arc-shaped clamping plates 1805. The materials of the multiple protective pads 20 are all rubber materials. The rubber material protective pads 20 can provide a soft contact surface, effectively preventing the fixed network cable from being directly contacted and rubbed by hard materials inside the arc-shaped clamping plates 1805, and avoiding scratches, indentations or other physical damages.
[0029] Specifically, when inserting the network cable into the inside of the network cable interface 5, first, pass the network cable through the middle of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1805 so that the network cable is located between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1805. This step can make the network cable be pre-positioned at the center of the clamping device, facilitating subsequent fixing operations. Then, insert the network cable into the inside of the network cable interface 5. Next, rotate the turntable 1802. The rotation of the turntable 1802 drives the bidirectional lead screw 1801 fixed to its lower part to rotate inside the left mounting block 17. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 1801 generates a driving force, driving the moving blocks 1803 connected to both sides of its outside to move relatively. The moving blocks 1803 move along the threaded path of the bidirectional lead screw 1801 towards the relative direction. The movement of the moving blocks 1803 further pushes the two cross plates 1804 fixed to their outside to move synchronously towards each other. With the synchronous movement of the cross plates 1804, the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1805 fixed to their outside also move relatively. The relative movement of the arc-shaped clamping plates 1805 drives the protective pads 20 arranged inside them to approach the network cable. When the protective pads 20 contact the outside of the network cable, the soft rubber material protective pads 20 fit on the outer surface of the network cable, providing a sufficient contact area. At this time, the network cable is clamped between the arc-shaped clamping plates 1805 and the protective pads 20, completing the fixing of the network cable. After inserting the network cable into the inside of the network cable interface 5, it is convenient to fix the network cable, preventing the network cable from loosening or falling off due to external vibration, pulling or accidental contact, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the network connection.
[0030] Working principle: When using this industrial switch, first, turn on the power supply. Then, insert the network cable into the inside of network cable interface 5. When facing network cable interface 5 without a network cable inserted, first, pull the moving rod 13. The movement of the moving rod 13 drives the externally fixed slider 12 to move. While the slider 12 moves and drives the externally rear-fixed insertion rod 14 to move, the second spring 21 sleeved outside the moving rod 13 is squeezed, causing the second spring 21 to deform under force. Then, when the insertion rod 14 moves into the inside of the installation pipe 11, press down the sealing plate 6. The movement of the sealing plate 6 drives the externally two-side-fixed guide blocks 8 to move downward outside the two guide rods 9. When the sealing plate 6 drives the guide blocks 8 to move downward, the first spring 10 sleeved outside the two guide rods 9 is squeezed, causing the first spring 10 to deform under force. Then, when the sealing plate 6 blocks the network cable interface 5, release the moving rod 13, and the insertion rod 14 can be inserted into the jack 7 under the reaction force of the second spring 21, achieving the convenience of sealing and blocking the unused network cable interface 5. Sealing and blocking the unused network cable interface 5 can effectively prevent pollutants such as dust, dirt, oil, and moisture from entering the interface, avoid poor contact between the network cable plug and the interface, and extend the service life of the device. When inserting the network cable into the inside of network cable interface 5, first pass the network cable through the middle of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1805. Then, insert the network cable into the inside of network cable interface 5. Then, rotate the turntable 1802. The rotation of the turntable 1802 drives the downward-fixed bidirectional lead screw 1801 to rotate inside the left mounting block 17. When the bidirectional lead screw 1801 rotates, it drives the moving blocks 1803 threadedly connected to both sides outside to move relatively. The relative movement of the two moving blocks 1803 drives the two cross plates 1804 fixed outside to move synchronously. The synchronous movement of the two cross plates 1804 drives the arc-shaped clamping plates 1805 fixed outside to move relatively. The relative movement of the arc-shaped clamping plates 1805 drives the protective pads 20 arranged inside to move relatively, so that the protective pads 20 are in contact with the outside of the network cable to complete the fixation of the network cable, achieving the convenience of fixing the network cable after inserting the network cable into the inside of network cable interface 5, preventing the network cable from loosening or falling off due to external vibration, pulling, or accidental contact, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the network connection.
