Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of industrial switches, in particular to an industrial switch with an interface protection function. Background Art
[0002] Industrial switches are Ethernet switch devices used in the field of industrial control. Their main function is to meet the data communication requirements of industrial control systems and realize data transmission and network connection between different devices.
[0003] Switch interfaces are typically carefully designed to ensure stable and reliable connections with various types of data cable plugs. These interfaces are strategically located on the switch housing, making them easy to plug and unplug while also protecting them from physical damage. However, once a data cable plug is successfully inserted and connected, the connection is often directly exposed to the external environment. While this exposed connection facilitates routine maintenance and operation, it also poses potential safety hazards. In complex industrial environments or data centers, switches and data cable plugs may be subject to various external impacts, which can cause the plug to accidentally fall out of the interface, disrupting the previously stable network connection. Once a data cable plug falls out of the switch interface, the data flow currently being transmitted within the switch is interrupted, affecting the stability and reliability of the entire network system. Furthermore, a dropped data cable plug can cause physical damage to the switch interface. Frequent plugging and unplugging and accidental impacts can cause the interface to loosen, deform, or damage, affecting the subsequent connection quality and stability. This damage not only increases maintenance costs and time but can also adversely affect the long-term operation of the entire network system. Utility Model Content

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0013] The utility model rotates the handle so that the upper limit plate on the surface of the round rod moves downward under the action of the threaded groove and gradually fits with the lower limit plate, thereby wrapping the wire. At this time, the protrusion is located between the interface and the upper limit plate, thereby preventing the interface from being separated from the inside of the interface groove when pulled during use. Compared with the traditional device, this device provides a stable support surface for the wire through the fit between the upper limit plate and the lower limit plate, and can form a tight and effective barrier between the upper limit plate and the lower limit plate, effectively preventing the part of the protrusion on the surface of the wire from being displaced or falling off when subjected to external force, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the interface groove and the interface, effectively protecting the interface groove and the interface from physical damage, and providing a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the switch body.
[0014] The utility model pulls the pull rod to make the movable plate slide inside the rectangular shell and compress the spring, and then the cover door is attached to the outer shell. At this time, the pull rod is released, and the reaction force of the spring resets the movable plate, and at the same time, one end of the pull rod is clamped inside the embedded block. Compared with the traditional device, this device can shorten the maintenance time by quickly disassembling and assembling the outer shell and the cover door, ensuring that the network resumes normal operation as soon as possible. At the same time, the rapid disassembly and assembly avoids the need to use tools in the traditional method, allowing technicians to complete replacement or maintenance tasks more easily. In addition, the rapid disassembly and assembly helps to reduce the downtime caused by maintenance, thereby reducing production losses and potential business impacts caused by downtime.

A movable plate 18 is movably mounted inside the rectangular shell 17, a spring 20 is provided between the movable plate 18 and the inner wall of the rectangular shell 17, and a pull rod 19 is fixedly mounted inside the movable plate 18;
[0025] The above solution shortens maintenance time by quickly disassembling and assembling the housing 1 and the cover door 15, ensuring that the network resumes normal operation as soon as possible. At the same time, the quick disassembly and assembly avoids the need to use tools in traditional methods, allowing technicians to complete replacement or maintenance tasks more easily. The quick disassembly and assembly helps to reduce downtime caused by maintenance, thereby reducing production losses and potential business impacts caused by downtime.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, heat dissipation slots 24 are provided on both sides of the housing 1, and the number of each group of heat dissipation slots 24 is three;
[0027] The above solution is adopted: by providing heat dissipation slots 24 on both sides of the housing 1, and each group of heat dissipation slots 24 has three, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the switch body 2 during operation.
[0028] like Figure 2As shown, the inner diameter of the housing 1 is equal to the outer diameter of the embedded block 16, and the gap where the upper limit plate 9 and the lower limit plate 10 overlap is equal to the outer diameter of the wire 12;

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a slide groove 22 is provided inside the groove 3, and a slider 23 is fixedly installed on the side of the upper limit plate 9, and the slider 23 is located inside the slide groove 22;
[0031] The above solution is adopted: by opening a slide groove 22 inside the groove 3, a slider 23 is fixedly installed on the side of the upper limit plate 9, and the slider 23 is located inside the slide groove 22, thereby improving the stability of the upper limit plate 9 during movement.

[0035] The above solution is adopted: by opening a plurality of grooves on the top of the cover door 1, the four sides of the cover door 15 are all set to be chamfered, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.
[0036] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0037] When in use, after placing the switch body 2 inside the shell 1 and fixing the shell 1 and the cover door 15, the interface 11 is then connected to the switch body 2 through the inside of the interface slot 4. The staff then rotates the handle 8 to rotate the round rod 6. The rotation of the round rod 6 causes the upper limit plate 9 on its surface to move downward under the action of the threaded groove 7 and gradually approach the lower limit plate 10. The upper limit plate 9 is fitted with the lower limit plate 10 to wrap the wire 12. At the same time, the protrusion 14 is located between the interface 11 and the upper limit plate 9. The clamping of the upper limit plate 9 prevents the interface 11 from falling off during use.
[0038] During use, the staff pulls the pull rod 19 so that one end of the pull rod 19 moves away from the interior of the outer shell 1. At the same time, the movable plate 18 slides inside the rectangular shell 17 and squeezes the spring 20. Then, the outer shell 1 and the cover door 15 are fitted together. At this time, the embedded block 16 is located inside the outer shell 1. After that, the staff releases the pull rod 19, and the reaction of the spring 20 resets the movable plate 18. The pull rod 19 is then clamped inside the embedded block 16, thereby fixing the outer shell 1 and the cover door 15.
