Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of network connection, in particular to a network plug and socket with quick plugging and positioning. Background Art

[0002] RJ45 is a type of information socket connector in the wiring system. The connector consists of a plug and a socket module. The RJ45 network interface, also known as a crystal head, is widely used in local area networks and Internet equipment. It is usually used for data transmission. The most common application is the network card interface.

[0003] Public announcement number: CN216624726U discloses a new type of information network plug and socket that can be quickly plugged in and out with positioning. The device consists of a new type of network plug and a new type of network socket. The new type of network socket consists of a new type of network socket, a left arc-shaped elastic retaining spring inside the new type of network socket, a right arc-shaped elastic retaining spring inside the new type of network socket, a left groove inside the new type of network socket, and a right groove inside the new type of network socket. The new type of network plug consists of a new type of network plug without a press-type buckle and a groove at the front end of the new type of network plug. The new type of network plug removes the press-type buckle and opens a groove on each side of the front end of the new type of network plug. An arc-shaped elastic retaining spring is added to the inner side of the new type of network socket at positions corresponding to the grooves on both sides of the new type of network plug, and a groove is opened on each side of the inner side of the new type of network socket. When the network plug of this network plug and socket is inserted into the network socket, the arc-shaped elastic retaining springs on both sides of the network socket are pressed into the grooves inside the new network socket. When the new network plug is inserted into place, the arc-shaped elastic retaining springs on both sides of the new network socket are reset and locked into the grooves on both sides of the new network plug, so that the new network plug remains stable and positioned in the new network socket. However, there are defects, mainly reflected in the elastic retaining springs. The elastic retaining springs themselves are lossy parts. As the number of times the network plug is plugged in and out increases, it gradually loses its elasticity, resulting in it being unable to return to its initial shape after being squeezed, and the shape it presents will gradually remain in the shape after being squeezed. In this way, the elastic retaining springs cannot enter the grooves on both sides of the network plug, resulting in the network socket losing its positioning effect on the network plug, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the network plug in the network socket, which will cause unstable network conduction during use. In addition, there is no specific structure for replacing the elastic retaining springs in the document. Therefore, the elastic retaining springs cannot be replaced after being damaged, and the network socket can only be replaced as a whole, which undoubtedly increases the complexity of maintenance.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0019] Referring to the accompanying drawings: This quick-plug network plug and socket with positioning includes a socket body 1, and a cavity 11 formed in the socket body 1 for inserting the network cable plug. Both inner side surfaces of the cavity 11 are provided with elastic retaining springs 2 for limiting the final position of the network cable plug in the cavity 11. The inner side surface of the cavity 11 is provided with a first positioning socket 3 for limiting the final position of the elastic retaining spring 2 in the cavity 11. One end of the elastic retaining spring 2 is inserted into the first positioning socket 3. The first positioning socket 3 is provided on the inner side surface of the cavity 11 with a guide channel 4 for guiding the elastic retaining spring 2 to reach the first positioning socket 3 in the reverse direction of assembly. A detachable locking member 5 is provided in the guide channel 4 to prevent the elastic retaining spring 2 from detaching from the guide channel 4. The locking member 5 has a second positioning socket 6. The second positioning socket 6 allows the other end of the elastic retaining spring 2 to be inserted inside. The principle of the present invention is that the elastic retaining spring 2 is replaceable through the guide channel 4 and the locking member 5. Such a setting is based on the consideration that the elastic retaining spring 2 itself is a consumable part, that is, when the network cable plug is inserted into the insertion cavity 11 or is separated from the insertion cavity 11, the elastic retaining spring 2 will be squeezed. After being squeezed, the elastic retaining spring 2 will present a configuration allowing the network cable plug to pass through, and after the positioning groove of the network cable plug is engaged with the elastic retaining spring 2 or the network cable plug is completely separated from the insertion cavity 11, the elastic retaining spring 2 will use its own elasticity to restore to its initial state. This will cause the elastic ability of the elastic retaining spring 2 to decrease after a certain period of use, thereby causing the insertion stability of the network cable plug in the insertion cavity 11 to decrease. Therefore, the elastic retaining spring 2 can be replaced in this way, so that the elastic retaining spring 2 always maintains good performance, thereby ensuring the service life of the socket body 1, and there is no need to replace the entire socket body 1 during maintenance.

[0020] The elastic retaining spring 2 is configured as a sheet-like component, which is bent to form a raised portion 21 with an arch in the middle and straight portions 22 located at both ends of the raised portion 21. The raised portion 21 is placed in the positioning groove of the network cable plug when the network cable plug is inserted into the insertion cavity 11, and the two straight portions 22 are respectively inserted into the first positioning socket 3 and the second positioning socket 6. The elastic retaining spring 2 is a metal component, and such a structural form also makes the elastic retaining spring 2 have elasticity. The raised portion 21 is combined with the positioning groove of the network cable plug as a positioning structure, and the two straight portions 22 are respectively inserted into the first positioning socket 3 and the second positioning socket 6 to ensure the installation stability of the elastic retaining spring 2 in the insertion cavity 11.

[0021] The locking member 5 includes a fixed plug-in block 51, a movable plug-in block 52, and a first elastic unit 53 for connecting the fixed plug-in block 51 and the movable plug-in block 52. The fixed plug-in block 51 is fixedly connected to the socket body 1 and is located at the inlet end of the guide channel 4. The movable plug-in block 52 is placed in the guide channel 4 and is used to set the second positioning socket 6. It is adaptively moved by the elastic clamping spring 2 due to the extrusion deformation and reset deformation when the network cable plug is inserted. The first elastic unit 53 has an elastic compression amount in the extrusion deformation direction of the elastic clamping spring 2. The locking member 5 is used to confine the elastic clamping spring 2 in the guide channel 4. It is composed of the fixed plug-in block 51 and the movable plug-in block 52, and the first elastic unit The fixed plug 51 is fixed and arranged at the inlet end of the guide channel 4, and then fixed by bolts to prevent the elastic retaining spring 2 and the movable plug 52 from escaping from the guide channel 4. The movable plug 52 is movably arranged, and it is combined with the first elastic unit 53 to make itself adaptive, that is, to adapt to the shape change of the elastic retaining spring 2 when it is squeezed and deformed and released from the squeeze deformation. The elastic retaining spring 2 will make its own use length longer when squeezed and its own use length shorter when released from the squeeze, and the adaptive characteristics also enable one of the straight line portions 22 of the elastic retaining spring 2 to always remain in the second positioning socket 6 set in the movable plug 52.

[0022] The movable plug block 52 has a step configuration at one end close to the elastic retaining spring 2, and the step configuration is used as the second positioning socket 6. The step configuration can obtain an insertion space for the straight portion 22 to be inserted therein, and can also provide a lateral constraint portion for the straight portion 22 placed in the insertion space, thereby utilizing the step configuration as the second positioning socket 6.

[0023] The first elastic unit 53 is configured as a spring, and its two ends are supported on the inner side surface of the fixed plug block 51 and the outer side surface of the movable plug block 52 respectively. The inner side surface of the fixed plug block 51 and the outer side surface of the movable plug block 52 are both provided with a first plug column 7 connected to the spring. The spring has good elasticity and can adapt to the position change of the movable plug block 52. It can also use its own elasticity to drive the movable plug block 52 to return to its original position. The first plug column 7 enables the spring to be connected to the fixed plug block 51 and the movable plug block 52 at the same time.

[0024] A second elastic unit 8 having an elastic compression amount in the extrusion deformation direction of the elastic retaining spring 2 is provided on the outer surface of the elastic retaining spring 2. The second elastic unit 8 provides support for the elastic retaining spring 2 so that the elastic retaining spring 2 remains in contact with the network plug. In this way, when the elastic retaining spring 2 is reset, it not only relies on the elasticity generated by itself to restore itself to its original shape, but also uses the elasticity provided by the second elastic unit 8 to recover, thereby reducing the loss of the elastic retaining spring 2.

[0025] The second elastic unit 8 is configured as a spring, and its two ends are respectively supported on the inner side surface of the insertion cavity 11 and the outer side surface of the protrusion 21. A second plug post 9 connected to the spring is provided on the inner side surface of the insertion cavity 11 and the outer side surface of the protrusion 21. The spring has good elasticity and can adapt to the shape change of the elastic retaining spring 2. It can also use its own elasticity to drive the elastic retaining spring 2 to return to its original shape. The second plug post 9 enables the spring to be connected to the insertion cavity 11 and the elastic retaining spring 2 at the same time.

[0026] While the present invention has been shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein within the scope of the claims.
