[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No.: CN213816624U, a computer network adapter. In this utility model, when connecting a connecting piece, the pull rod is pulled in the direction away from the connecting piece. The pull rod drives the mounting block to move, and the first spring is deformed under force to generate an elastic force. The mounting block drives the slider to move towards each other through the connecting rod. At present, most of the main bodies on the market are loosened at the connection with the connecting piece after long-term use, and are easily separated between the connecting piece and the main body under the influence of external factors, affecting the normal use of the main body. The application of this device avoids the above problems and improves the stability of the device.
[0004] After the applicant's search, it is found that the above patent still has certain defects. For example, when connecting the connecting piece to the main body in the above patent, one hand is required to pull the pull rod to drive the plug block to move upward, and during this process, the hand pulling the pull rod needs to remain stationary and can only be released after the connecting piece is completely inserted into the main body. This kind of two-handed coordinated operation increases the complexity of the operation, especially when the space is limited or rapid connection is required, the working efficiency will be reduced. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a network adapter, which solves the problem that the two-handed coordinated operation increases the complexity of the operation, especially when the space is limited or rapid connection is required, the working efficiency will be reduced.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A network adapter, comprising an adapter body, an insertion end, a connecting piece and a locking assembly;
[0007] The insertion end is assembled on the adapter body and is electrically connected to the adapter body. The connecting piece is inserted into the interior of the adapter body, and the locking assembly is arranged on the adapter body for locking the connecting piece inside the adapter body;
[0008] The locking assembly includes at least two locking members and at least one driving member. At least two of the locking members are symmetrically arranged on the front side of the adapter body in the left-right direction. The locking member includes a baffle, at least two connecting shafts, and at least one locking block.
[0009] The baffle is assembled on the front side of the adapter body. At least two of the connecting shafts are all arranged through the inside of the baffle. The locking block is assembled at one end of the connecting shaft close to the connecting member. The connecting shaft is in transmission connection with the driving member. On the opposite sides of the two locking blocks, they are both inclined outward.
[0010] Furthermore, at least two protective covers are arranged on the front side of the adapter body, and at least two of the protective covers are respectively sleeved on the outside of at least two of the locking members.
[0011] Furthermore, at least two springs are assembled between the side of the baffle opposite to the locking block.
[0012] Furthermore, the driving member includes a sliding sleeve and at least two connecting ropes.
[0013] The sliding sleeve is movably sleeved on the outside of the adapter body. At least two of the connecting shafts are connected to the sliding sleeve through at least two connecting ropes.
[0014] Furthermore, corresponding to the sliding sleeve, limiting strips are arranged on both the upper and lower sides of the outer surface of the adapter body.
[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of anti-slip ribs are arranged on the outside of the sliding sleeve.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] For this network adapter, by designing a locking block with automatic rebound, it can be automatically locked when the connecting member is inserted, without additional operations, significantly improving the convenience and efficiency of use. At the same time, the inclined locking block cooperates with the spring to ensure the reliability and stability of locking. When it is necessary to take out the connecting member, simply operate the driving member, and the two locking blocks can be simultaneously driven to move away from each other to achieve quick unlocking, simplifying the maintenance process.

[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] See also Figure 1 A network adapter in this embodiment improves the convenience of locking the connector 3 inside the adapter body 1.
[0024] Specifically, it includes an adapter body 1, an insertion end 2, a connector 3 and a locking assembly 4; the insertion end 2 is assembled on the adapter body 1 and is electrically connected to the adapter body 1, the connector 3 is inserted inside the adapter body 1, and the locking assembly 4 is arranged on the adapter body 1 to lock the connector 3 inside the adapter body 1. The locking assembly 4 includes at least two locking members and at least one driving member.
[0025] During actual use, through the cooperation between the components inside the locking assembly 4, that is, when the connecting member 3 passes between the two locking members, the two locking members will be squeezed. When the connecting member 3 is fully inserted into the interior of the adapter body 1, the two locking members will automatically rebound and fit with the front side of the connecting member 3, thereby locking the connecting member 3 inside the adapter body 1. When the connecting member 3 needs to be removed from the interior of the adapter body 1, it is only necessary to operate the driving member.
[0026] See also Figures 2-3 In order to facilitate locking the connecting member 3 inside the adapter body 1, at least two locking members in this embodiment are symmetrically arranged on the front side of the adapter body 1, and the locking members include a baffle 401, at least two connecting shafts 402 and at least one locking block 403; the baffle 401 is assembled on the front side of the adapter body 1, and at least two connecting shafts 402 are both arranged inside the baffle 401. The locking block 403 is assembled on one end of the connecting shaft 402 close to the connecting member 3. The connecting shaft 402 is transmission-connected to the driving member, and the opposite sides of the two locking blocks 403 are inclined outward.
[0027] Moreover, in order to ensure that the two locking blocks 403 can automatically rebound when not under force, at least two springs 405 are assembled between the side of the baffle 401 opposite to the locking blocks 403 in this embodiment.
[0028] During actual use, when the connecting piece 3 is inserted between the two locking blocks 403, it will push the two locking blocks 403 to move away from each other, and at the same time squeeze the left and right springs 405, so that the left and right springs 405 both have a certain elastic potential energy. That is, when the connecting piece 3 is completely inserted into the interior of the adapter body 1, the two locking blocks 403 are not under force. At this time, the left and right compressed springs 405 will automatically rebound, and then push the left and right locking blocks 403 to move towards each other, so that the two locking blocks 403 are both attached to the front side of the connecting piece 3, thereby locking the connecting piece 3 inside the adapter body 1.
[0029] During actual setting, through the springs 405 cooperated with the locking blocks 403 with an inclined design, the automatic locking after the insertion of the connecting piece 3 is realized. This mechanism can complete the locking process without additional operation, improving the convenience and efficiency of use.
[0030] Furthermore, in order to protect the connecting shaft 402 and the locking blocks 403, at least two protective covers 404 are provided on the front side of the adapter body 1 in this embodiment, and at least two protective covers 404 are respectively sleeved on the outside of at least two locking members.
[0031] During actual setting, the protective cover 404 effectively isolates possible external impacts, collisions or accidental touches, reduces the risk of damage to the connecting shaft 402 and the locking blocks 403 due to external forces, and improves the safety and stability of the device.
[0032] In addition, in order to facilitate driving the two locking blocks 403 to move away from each other simultaneously to separate them from the front side of the connecting piece 3, the driving member in this embodiment includes a sliding sleeve 406 and at least two connecting ropes 407; the sliding sleeve 406 is movably sleeved on the outside of the adapter body 1, and at least two connecting shafts 402 are connected to the sliding sleeve 406 through at least two connecting ropes 407.
[0033] During actual use, by pushing the sliding sleeve 406 backward to drive the left and right connecting ropes 407 to move, and by the left and right connecting ropes 407 to drive the connecting shafts 402 connected thereto to move, thereby driving the two locking blocks 403 to move away from each other, so that the two locking blocks 403 both move out from the front side of the connecting piece 3. At this time, the connecting piece 3 can be removed from the interior of the adapter body 1.
[0034] Further, in order to limit the forward movement distance of the sliding sleeve 406, in this embodiment, corresponding to the sliding sleeve 406, limit bars 408 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the outer surface of the adapter body 1.
[0035] Furthermore, in order to increase the friction between the sliding sleeve 406 and the hand, in this embodiment, a number of anti-slip ribs are provided on the outer side of the sliding sleeve 406.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
