Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of port protection technology, and in particular to a port protection device and network port component. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, many electronic devices, such as computer cases, have various types of hardware ports. These ports are used to connect to other devices and perform corresponding functions. However, to prevent unauthorized access by other devices, unused hardware ports on the device should be disabled and clearly labeled. The current practice is to print labels and affix them to the unused hardware ports.

[0003] However, while this approach can be applied to different ports simultaneously, it is not secure or reliable. Over time, the labels tend to fall off. Furthermore, if an authorized device needs to use the hardware port, the user must remove the label; and after use, a new label must be printed and reattached; the entire process is quite cumbersome and causes label wear and tear.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It has an insulating end cap 1 including a mark 4, and a first contour insert 2 is provided on the insulating end cap 1. The first contour insert 2 can be inserted into the first port body to form a sealing protection. At the same time, the movable part 3 can be used to cooperate with the first contour insert 2 to be inserted into the second port body to form a sealing protection. The mark 4 is used to display content such as "disabled", thereby realizing protection applicable to different ports. When protection is not needed, the protective device can be pulled out. The insert-type protection is not easy to fall off, is safe and reliable, and is convenient and quick to operate.

[0037] Furthermore, the movable member 3 is movably disposed on the first contour insert 2, and the moving direction of the movable member 3 is towards or away from the inner side surface;

[0038] In the direction of approaching or away from the inner side, the length of the first contour insert 2 is greater than the length of the movable part 3.

[0039] As can be seen from the above description, the movable part 3 adopts a movable design on the first contour insert 2. When the first contour insert 2 is used to protect the first port body, the movable part 3 can be moved to avoid it, and there is no need to consider how to store the movable part 3 in this case.

[0040] Furthermore, the first contour insert 2 is provided with a strip-shaped through hole 5;

[0041] The movable component 3 is movably embedded in the strip-shaped through hole 5.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, a strip-shaped through hole 5 is provided on the first contour insert 2, so that the movable part 3 can be movably embedded in the strip-shaped through hole 5, which has a limiting effect on the movable part 3 and prevents it from falling off.

[0043] Furthermore, the movable component 3 is provided with a limiting groove;

[0044] The first contour insert 2 is provided with a protruding edge that matches the limiting groove;

[0045] The movable part 3 is movably mounted on the first contour insert 2 through the sliding engagement of the limiting groove and the convex edge.

[0046] As can be seen from the above description, the combination of the limiting groove and the convex edge not only forms a connecting base for the movement of the movable part 3, but also enhances the limiting effect on the movable part 3, making the protective device safer and more reliable.

[0047] Furthermore, the movable part 3 is provided with a spring piece 6 for plugging and unplugging with the port of the second port body.

[0048] As can be seen from the above description, the movable part 3 is provided with a spring piece 6 for plugging and unplugging with the port of the second port body, so as to form an elastic limit after the second profile is inserted into the second port body and prevent it from falling off.

[0049] Furthermore, a warning sign is detachably provided on the outer side of the insulating end cap 1, and the mark 4 is located on the warning sign.

[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the label 4 is displayed on the sign so that it can be replaced according to actual needs, such as replacing "disabled" with "faulty".

[0051] Furthermore, a soft gasket is provided on the outer surface.

[0052] As can be seen from the above description, the outer side of the insulating end cover 1 has a soft gasket; when the protective device is temporarily pulled out, the soft gasket enables electrostatic adsorption, which can electrostatically adsorb the cabinet or rack, making it easy to fix after use and prevent loss.

[0053] A network port component includes a first port body, a second port body, and the aforementioned port protection device;

[0054] The first contour insert 2 is inserted into the first port body or the second contour insert is inserted into the second port body.

[0055] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It has an insulating end cap 1 including a mark 4, and a first contour insert 2 is provided on the insulating end cap 1. The first contour insert 2 can be inserted into the first port body to form a sealing protection. At the same time, the movable part 3 can be used to cooperate with the first contour insert 2 to be inserted into the second port body to form a sealing protection. The mark 4 is used to display content such as "disabled", thereby realizing protection applicable to different ports. When protection is not needed, the protective device can be pulled out. The insert-type protection is not easy to fall off, is safe and reliable, and is convenient and quick to operate.

[0056] Furthermore, the first port body is a USB port.

[0057] Furthermore, the second port itself is an RJ45 network port.

[0058] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows:
