Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field technology of RJ45 connectors, in particular to an RJ45 connector that can be unlocked by sliding. Background Art

[0002] The RJ45 connector consists of a plug and a jack, two components that form a connector that connects the wires to ensure electrical continuity. The core of the RJ45 module is the modular jack. The gold-plated wire or jack hole maintains a stable and reliable electrical connection with the modular jack's spring clips. The friction between the spring clips and the jack strengthens the electrical contact as the plug is inserted. The jack body is designed with an integral locking mechanism, which maximizes pull-out strength at the interface between the plug and jack when the modular plug is inserted.

[0003] When the RJ45 connector is plugged into the outside, it is locked together with the outside through a locking mechanism to prevent it from falling off. When removing the connector, it is necessary to press down the locking part before the connector can be taken out. When used in some scenes with smaller spaces, due to the smaller space left in the upper and lower directions, it is difficult for the user to press down the locking part with their fingers, making the connector removal process more troublesome. Therefore, it is not suitable for use in places with smaller installation spaces, and the product has greater usage limitations. Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements to the existing RJ45 connector structure. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it shows the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which includes a body 10, an elastic arm 20 and a slider 30.

[0030] The body 10 includes a main portion 11 and a plug connector 12 extending forward from the front end of the main portion 11. In this embodiment, the side walls of the main portion 11 are integrally formed with a sliding portion 111 extending forward and backward. A first stopper 112 is formed at the rear end of the sliding portion 111. A second stopper 113 is formed at the front end of the outer wall of the main portion 11.

[0031] One end of the elastic arm 20 is mounted on the plug connector 12, and the other end of the elastic arm 20 extends outward to form a pressing portion 21. The pressing portion 21 extends forward and backward, and the elastic arm 20 is formed with a buckle 22 that mates with the external connector. The RJ45 connector is fastened to the external connector via the buckle 22. When the pressing portion 21 is pressed downward, the buckle 22 moves downward, thereby unlocking the connector. In this embodiment, the main body 11 is provided with a recessed groove 101 corresponding to the pressing portion 21. This recess 101 is used to prevent interference between the pressing portion 21 and the main body 11 when the pressing portion 21 moves downward under external force.

[0032] The slider 30 is arranged on the main body 11 to slide back and forth and drive the pressing portion 21 downward. The slider 30 is provided with a through slot 301 that cooperates with the main body 11. The sliding of the slider 30 drives the pressing portion 21 downward, thereby achieving the unlocking process. Compared with the existing RJ45 connector method that requires directly pressing the lock structure downward, the removal process is more convenient for the user and the removal process is more convenient. At the same time, there is no need to leave sufficient space in the vertical direction, making it suitable for more usage scenarios. In this embodiment, the inner side wall of the through slot 301 is recessed with a slide groove 302 that cooperates with the sliding portion 111. The slider 30 moves back and forth along the sliding portion 111 through the cooperation of the slide groove 302 and the sliding portion 111. The first limit portion 111 corresponds to the rear end surface of the slider 30, so that the first limit portion 111 limits the maximum range of motion of the slider during its backward movement. The inner wall of the through slot 301 is provided with a protruding third limiting portion 31 corresponding to the second limiting portion 113. The front end surface of the third limiting portion 31 corresponds to the rear end surface of the second limiting portion 113. The cooperation between the second limiting portion 113 and the third limiting portion 31 limits the maximum forward movement range of the slider 30, preventing the slider 30 from falling off the main body 11. The second limiting portion 113 and the pressing portion 21 are arranged in a front-to-back correspondence, so that when the second limiting portion 113 and the third limiting portion 31 are in contact, the rear end surface of the slider 30 just contacts the pressing portion 21, thereby limiting the position of the slider 30 forward and backward, preventing the slider 30 from rocking back and forth.

[0033] The pressing portion 21 extends outward from the outer peripheral sidewall of the slider 30, so that when the slider 30 is stuck in the front or rear direction under special circumstances, it can also be unlocked by pressing the pressing portion 21 downward. The rear end surface of the slider 30 is recessed with a positioning groove 303 that is connected to the through groove 301. The positioning groove 303 cooperates with the pressing portion 21 and is used to limit the left and right position of the pressing portion 21, preventing the elastic arm 20 from sliding left and right during the pressing process, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure. The front end surfaces of the left and right side walls of the slider 30 are respectively recessed with grooves 304. These grooves 304 are used to allow the user to insert their fingers into the two grooves 304 during the unlocking process, thereby facilitating the user to apply backward pulling force to the slider 30.

[0034] The design focus of the present invention is that a pressing portion is extended outward from the other end of the elastic arm, and is arranged on the main body to slide back and forth in cooperation with the slider and drive the pressing portion to press down, so that the pressing portion is driven downward by the slider sliding back and forth, thereby realizing the unlocking process of the connector, without the need to directly press the pressing portion downward. Even in the usage scenario where the upper and lower spaces are relatively narrow, it is convenient to drive the slider to slide, and the unlocking process is more convenient, and at the same time, it can be applied to more usage scenarios.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
