Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of network connection, in particular to a network socket connector. 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] Publication (Announcement) No.: CN220358394U discloses an integrated fully enclosed socket network connector, including an assembly body, a mounting hole that passes through the inside and outside is opened in the middle of the upper end of the assembly body, a heat dissipation component is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting hole, and a dust-proof component is movably installed on the rear of the outer surface of the heat dissipation component through a hinge, a slot is opened at the right end of the assembly body, a connector is fixedly connected to the middle of the left end of the assembly body, a connecting head is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting head, and a cable is fixedly connected to the left end of the connecting assembly; the heat dissipation component includes a mounting frame, three mounting rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame, a heat dissipation fan is fixedly installed between the three mounting rods, and the outer surface of the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole. This network connector utilizes a heat dissipation fan to effectively achieve the heat dissipation function inside the assembly. The frame cover is covered on the mounting frame, and the sealing ring is sleeved inside the mounting frame, so that the dust inside the mounting frame can be effectively prevented by using the provided dustproof nets, thereby achieving the dust-proof function inside the assembly. However, there are defects, which are mainly reflected in the non-removable nature of the heat dissipation fan and the mounting frame, and the fixed matching method between the mounting frame and the mounting hole. The heat dissipation fan is held in the mounting frame by a mounting rod and fixedly connected to the two. The fixed connection makes it non-removable. When cleaning the dust accumulated inside the mounting frame, the heat dissipation fan will block interference, making it difficult to clean the inside of the mounting frame, which affects the cleaning effect and the subsequent heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the fixed connection between the mounting frame and the mounting hole is achieved by an interference fit achieved by the size difference between the two. This will make it difficult to install or disassemble the network connector, that is, a certain force needs to be applied. Considering that the network connector is fixedly set on the motherboard of the computer device or the circuit board of other devices, this disassembly method will affect the motherboard or circuit board. Utility Model Content

[0016] Figure 4 For this utility model Figure 3 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of part A. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0018] Referring to the accompanying drawings: This network socket connector includes a connector body 1, and an insertion cavity 2 formed in the connector body 1 and for inserting a network cable plug. The upper end surface of the connector body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 3 that communicates with the insertion cavity 2. A mounting frame 5 with a cooling fan 4 is provided in the mounting hole 3. The outer peripheral surface of the cooling fan 4 is provided with a plurality of detachable mounting rods 6 distributed along the circumferential direction of the cooling fan 4. The mounting rods 6 are plugged into the mounting frame 5, and the mounting frame 5 is rotatably connected to the mounting hole 3 through the mounting rods 6. The principle of the present invention is that such a setting enables the mounting rod 6 to be used as a detachable connecting component connecting the cooling fan 4 and the mounting frame 5, and also to be used as a detachable connecting component connecting the mounting frame 5 and the mounting hole 3. One rod has multiple uses. During the disassembly stage, the mounting frame 5 can be removed from the mounting hole 3 by rotating, and this method no longer requires the application of hard pulling or hard pressing force, so as not to affect the main board or circuit board. The mounting rod 6 can also be pulled out after being separated from the cooling fan 4 to release the connection between the mounting rod 6 and the mounting frame 5. In this way, during the cleaning stage, the cooling fan 4 can be removed from the mounting frame 5, so that the cooling fan 4 will not cause obstruction or interference to the internal space of the mounting frame 5, so that the inside of the mounting frame 5 can be fully cleaned, and the cleaning method is not only to clean with a brush, but also to directly rinse with water.

[0019] One end of the mounting rod 6 is detachably connected to the outer circumference of the cooling fan 4, and the other end is inserted into the sockets 51 provided on the outer circumference of the mounting frame 5 and the number of which is the same as that of the mounting rods 6. That is, the mounting rod 6 is used to connect the two and the mounting rod 6 first passes through the sockets 51 and then is connected to the cooling fan 4. In this way, the mounting rod 6 can utilize the support of the sockets 51 to stably maintain the cooling fan 4 in the mounting frame 5, and it is also convenient for the disassembly operation during subsequent cleaning.

[0020] The mounting rod 6 is connected to the cooling fan 4 by a threaded connection, which can ensure the connection stability and also makes the operation convenient, that is, the mounting rod 6 only needs to be rotated.

[0021] The inner circumference of the mounting hole 3 is provided with guide channels 7 with the same number as the mounting rods 6. The head end of the guide channel 7 is provided with an upper end inlet 8 on the upper end surface of the connector body 1, and the tail end is provided with a lower end socket 9 on the inner circumference of the mounting hole 3. One end of the mounting rod 6 arranged in the socket 51 extends outward and reaches the lower end socket 9 through the guide channel 7 to prevent the mounting frame 5 from detaching from the mounting hole 3, that is, the guide channel 7 is used to realize the rotational connection between the mounting frame 5 and the mounting hole 3. The upper end inlet 8 is used to guide the mounting rod 6 into the guide channel 7, and the lower end socket 9 serves as the end point so that the mounting frame 5 is stably maintained in the mounting hole 3. Moreover, the guide channel 7 extends from top to bottom, so when the mounting rod 6 is in the lower end socket 9, the principle of downward gravity can be used to stably maintain the mounting rod 6 in the lower end socket 9.

[0022] The guide channel 7 includes a straight section 71 and an oblique section 72 that are interconnected. The straight section 71 is interconnected with the upper inlet 8, and the oblique section 72 is interconnected with the lower socket 9. This arrangement allows the mounting frame 5 to rotate only when the mounting rod 6 moves within the oblique section 72. Because the oblique section 72 allows the mounting rod 6 to change its lateral position as its vertical position changes during movement, thereby achieving rotation. This method also increases the difficulty of the mounting rod 6 escaping from the guide channel 7. The straight section 71 is used to increase the convenience during disassembly or assembly, that is, there is no need to rotate, so that the mounting rod 6 can quickly detach from the guide channel 7, thereby improving efficiency.

[0023] An arc chamfer 73 is provided at the connection between the straight segment 71 and the oblique segment 72, which can be clearly felt by the user and plays a corresponding prompting role, allowing the user to predict that the installation rod 6 is about to enter the oblique segment 72, thereby avoiding user misjudgment.

[0024] 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.
