Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of notebook network cable connector technology, and in particular to a fixed network cable adapter for a notebook computer used for ground-penetrating radar data acquisition. Background Art

[0002] Laptops can connect to the internet via wired or wireless networks. While wireless networks are convenient, wired connections offer better speed and stability for extended use. However, laptop network cables are typically plugged in temporarily, and some laptops have loose spring clips on the bottom of the network port, making the connection unstable after inserting the cable through the RJ45 connector. Furthermore, laptops are lightweight, and movement or disturbance to the cable can easily loosen the RJ45 connector, affecting usability. Some newer ultra-thin laptops don't even have a dedicated Ethernet connector; they use a Type-C adapter to connect to a docking station, which then provides a wired network connection. However, this Type-C adapter limits the maximum network speed, making it unsuitable for scenarios requiring large data volumes and high speeds.

[0003] In scenarios where ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is towed by a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) vehicle for data acquisition, the amount of data continuously transmitted by the GPR during the detection process is substantial as the vehicle moves. Operators typically use a standard laptop connected to the network cable for data transmission to receive the data in real time. Using a docking station is insufficient due to its speed limitations, necessitating the use of a laptop with a standard network cable port. However, the harsh environment in which GPR operates often requires moving the laptop, which can easily cause the elastic retaining clips on the network cable port to loosen or even break due to drops or tilting, thus damaging the port. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to design a protective network cable adapter for laptop network interfaces used in GPR data acquisition scenarios.

[0004] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN208001025U discloses a network cable interface protection device suitable for laptops. The protection device includes a housing and a cover. The housing includes a first protective shell and a second protective shell. Each of the protective shells includes a network cable sleeve and an interface protective sleeve. The network cable sleeve is rectangular, and the interface protective sleeve is "L"-shaped. The network cable sleeve and the interface protective sleeve are integrally formed. The cover includes an end and a plug. The plug has a cavity, and the network cable sleeve has a groove.

[0005] This solution actually protects the connector itself. In scenarios where the laptop's network cable port is permanently damaged due to drops, overturning, or other incidents, this protective device is not applicable. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings in the aforementioned background technology, this utility model proposes a network cable fixing adapter for a laptop used for ground-penetrating radar data acquisition. This solves the problem that in the prior art, the network cable plug is directly inserted into the network cable port, lacking protection at the connection point, and is easily damaged by accidental drops or other unexpected scenarios.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a network cable fixing adapter for a notebook for ground-penetrating radar data acquisition includes a clamping shell, a male network cable connector is fixedly provided on the inner side of the clamping shell, and a female network cable connector is provided at one end of the clamping shell. The female network cable connector and the male network cable connector are connected by a network cable.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping shell is a U-shaped shell. An opening corresponding to the male connector of the network cable is provided on the inner side wall of the lower side of the U-shaped shell.

[0009] Preferably, the network cable is attached and fixed to the U-shaped shell, and extends from one end of the U-shaped shell perpendicular to the insertion direction of the male connector of the network cable.

[0010] Preferably, at least one socket is provided on the middle sidewall of the U-shaped shell. At least two sockets are provided, including a lock slot and a USB port.

[0011] Preferably, adhesive tape is provided on the inner sidewalls of the upper and lower sides and / or the middle inner sidewall of the U-shaped shell.

[0012] Preferably, a top post is threaded onto the inner wall of the upper and / or lower side of the U-shaped shell, and a rubber pad is provided on the end of the top post near the inner side.

[0013] Preferably, a rubber pad or rubber block is fixedly provided on the inner sidewall of the upper and / or lower side of the U-shaped shell.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a paddle with a flat end or a lever with a pointed end, the ends of which can pass through the opening.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a clamping shell, it can be fixedly connected to the laptop, while providing protection and support. By directly fixing the male connector of the network cable inside the clamping shell, it can be inserted into the laptop's network cable port in the installed state. By providing a female connector for the network cable to connect to the male connector, it allows for network cable connection in practical scenarios, thus connecting the network cable to the laptop in a relay connection manner. This utility model utilizes the clamping shell to directly fix the connection to the laptop, protecting the connection point between the male connector of the network cable and the laptop's network cable port, avoiding the problem of network cable connectors easily damaging the network cable port in direct insertion scenarios. This utility model has a simple structure, is robust and durable, has strong protection and reliability, and is low in cost. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Embodiment 1, a network cable fixing adapter for a laptop used for ground-penetrating radar data acquisition includes a clamping shell 1. The clamping shell can be fixedly connected to the laptop, while providing protection and support. A male network cable connector 2 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the clamping shell 1, and a female network cable connector 3 is provided at one end of the clamping shell 1. The female network cable connector 3 and the male network cable connector 2 are connected by a network cable 4. In this embodiment, the male network cable connector directly fixed on the inner side of the clamping shell can be inserted into the laptop's network cable port in the installed state. Furthermore, by providing a female network cable connector that connects to the male network cable connector, it can provide network cable connections in practical scenarios, thereby connecting the network cable to the laptop in a relay connection manner.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping shell 1 is a U-shaped shell. The U-shaped shell can better fit the laptop, providing support for the male connector of the network cable. In the event of a drop or tilt, the support of the U-shaped shell distributes the impact and torsional forces generated by the drop, thereby protecting the connection between the male connector of the network cable and the network cable socket. In this embodiment, the network cable 4 is fixedly attached to the U-shaped shell, optionally fixed to the inner or outer corner of the U-shaped shell, and extends from one end of the U-shaped shell perpendicular to the insertion direction of the male connector of the network cable. In this embodiment, after installation, the network cable passes through the U-shaped shell along the side wall of the laptop and extends to the rear of the laptop, reducing the length occupied along the insertion direction of the network cable socket, avoiding the risk of breakage or damage caused by drops, and also facilitating the connection between the network cable and the female connector in various usage scenarios.

[0028] This utility model utilizes a clamping shell to directly fix and connect to the laptop, protecting the connection between the male end of the network cable and the laptop's network cable port. This avoids the problem of network cable connectors being easily damaged by drops or other accidents in direct plugging scenarios. The structure is simple, sturdy, durable, highly protective, reliable, and low in cost.

[0029] As a further embodiment, an opening 5 corresponding to the male network cable connector 2 is provided on the inner side wall of the lower side of the U-shaped shell. In this embodiment, the opening 5 provides space for the elastic baffle to move during the insertion of the male network cable connector when the elastic baffle is inserted, in scenarios where the network cable connector is equipped with an elastic baffle. In addition, the opening also allows fingers to be inserted through the opening into the inside of the U-shaped shell to press the male network cable connector during the removal of the male network cable connector, thereby removing the male network cable connector from the laptop.

[0030] As a further optional implementation, such as Figure 6 , 7As shown, this embodiment also includes a paddle 12 with a flat end or a lever 13 with a pointed end, both of which can pass through the opening 5. In this embodiment, during installation, before the male connector of the network cable is inserted into the network cable port of the laptop, for network cable ports with an openable elastic retainer, the paddle or lever is first inserted through the opening into the inside of the U-shaped shell. The flat end or pointed end is used to press down on the elastic retainer of the laptop, causing the elastic retainer to open relative to the network cable port, thus facilitating the insertion of the male connector of the network cable into the port. During insertion, the paddle or lever is removed from the opening. As the male connector of the network cable is inserted, the elastic retainer is opened and positioned at the opening.

[0031] As an alternative implementation, the U-shaped shell is designed to mimic the shape of a laptop. When in use, after inserting the male end of the network cable into the female end, the U-shaped shell is used to secure the connection to the side wall of the laptop. In the secured state, the U-shaped shell provides support for the female end of the network cable and protects the connection point.

[0032] Example 2: Based on Example 1, when the overall length of the U-shaped shell is relatively long, in order to meet the normal use of conventional interfaces such as USB ports or lock slots on the laptop, at least one socket corresponding to a conventional interface on the laptop is provided on the middle side wall of the U-shaped shell. After the U-shaped shell is installed, it can meet the needs of inserting the corresponding conventional connector through the socket during daily use.

[0033] Example 3, based on Example 1, includes at least two ports, comprising a locking port 6 and a USB port 7, located on either side of the male connector of the network cable. For a standard laptop, one locking port is provided, and the USB port can be specifically configured with one elongated through-hole or several short through-holes corresponding to the laptop's specifications.

[0034] Example 4, as Figure 3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, no socket is provided, and the length of the U-shaped shell is slightly greater than the horizontal length of the long cable socket on the laptop, thus avoiding the U-shaped shell affecting the use of sockets on other laptops.

[0035] Example 5, based on Examples 2, 3, or 4, as an optional implementation, provides adhesive tape 8 on the inner sidewalls of the upper and lower sides and / or the middle inner sidewall of the U-shaped shell. In this example, the adhesive tape 8 can be a conventional traceless double-sided adhesive tape, which can be pasted to the upper and lower sidewalls or sides of the laptop after the male connector of the network cable is inserted into the network cable socket to form a connection and fixation between the U-shaped shell and the laptop, preventing it from falling off during use.

[0036] Example 6, as Figure 4 , 5As shown, based on embodiments 2, 3, or 4, as an optional implementation, a top post 9 is threadedly connected to the inner sidewall of the upper and / or lower side of the U-shaped shell, and a rubber pad 10 is provided on the end of the top post 9 near the inner side. As a further optional solution, a knob 15 is provided on the upper end of the top post. During installation, after inserting the male end of the network cable into the network cable port of the laptop, the U-shaped shell fits against the sidewall of the laptop. Rotating the knob causes the top post to rotate. With the threaded engagement, the rubber pad at the lower end of the top post abuts against the sidewall of the laptop, thereby achieving a fixed connection and improving connection stability.

[0037] Example 7, based on Examples 2, 3, or 4, as an optional implementation, includes a rubber pad or rubber block fixedly provided on the inner sidewall of the upper and / or lower side of the U-shaped shell. In this example, the rubber pad or rubber block is made of silicone. During installation, after inserting the male end of the network cable into the network cable port of the laptop, the elasticity of the U-shaped shell applies pressure to the rubber pad or rubber block, pressing it firmly against the sidewall of the laptop, thereby preventing it from falling off.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
