Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an adapter, and more particularly to a multi-port adapter. Background Technology
[0002] In modern technological applications, various electronic devices work together, requiring power and signal transmission connections. To meet these diverse connection needs, devices are connected by multiple lines, resulting in a complex and intricate network. Furthermore, in daily use, the constant plugging and unplugging of these lines can cause them to scatter when unplugged or become tangled when plugged in, leading to confusion and disarray. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a multi-port adapter that connects multiple devices, thus avoiding the aforementioned technical problem.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a multi-port adapter, including a first adapter and a second adapter for connecting lines to different devices respectively; each adapter has a device line connection end on the front for connecting lines to the device and a mating end on the back for mating with another adapter, and there are multiple device line connection ends and mating ends, which are connected one-to-one inside the adapter; the backs of the first adapter and the second adapter face each other and can be brought close together so that their mating ends can be mated one-to-one.
[0005] Furthermore, a base plate is provided for installation on the equipment, and a slide rail is installed on the base plate. The second adapter is installed on the base plate and can move along the slide rail to approach the first adapter to achieve mutual docking.
[0006] Furthermore, the first adapter has a positioning groove, and the edge of the base plate is inserted into the positioning groove to achieve positioning. The second adapter moves along the slide rail on the positioned base plate to approach the first adapter.
[0007] Furthermore, a flexible locking element is provided on the base plate away from the first adapter. When the second adapter moves away from the first adapter to the flexible locking element, it is locked by the flexible locking element and cannot move automatically towards the first adapter.
[0008] Furthermore, a stop bar is provided on the base plate away from the first adapter. When the second adapter moves away from the first adapter to the stop bar, it can no longer move away from the first adapter.
[0009] Furthermore, the second adapter is provided with a snap-fit groove. When the elastic snap-fit member snaps into the snap-fit groove, the second adapter is stuck and thus cannot move automatically toward the direction of the first adapter.
[0010] Furthermore, in the first adapter 1, there are three device connection ends and three interconnecting ends. The three device connection ends are two RJ-45 sockets and one power socket, and the three interconnecting ends are two RJ-45 plugs and one power plug, respectively. In the second adapter 2, there are three device connection ends and three interconnecting ends. The three connection ends are two RJ-45 sockets and one power socket, and the three interconnecting ends are two RJ-45 sockets and one power socket, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the second adapter is provided with a handle for operation to move the second adapter closer to and / or away from the first adapter.
[0012] In use, the multi-port adapter of this utility model involves first connecting the device wiring terminals of the first and second adapters to the corresponding devices. Then, the positions of the two adapters are adjusted so that their backs face each other. Next, the first and second adapters are brought closer together so that their mating ends align. This eliminates the need for direct wiring between devices. Instead, two devices requiring multiple wiring connections are connected to the two adapters of the adapter, and the first and second adapters are used to connect the wiring of the two devices. Moving the two adapters allows for the connection and disconnection of the wiring between the devices. In daily use, this prevents multiple wires from scattering together after being unplugged or becoming tangled after being plugged into interfaces, and prevents the wires from crossing, tangling, or becoming chaotic.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0020] Multi-port adapters such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a first adapter 1 and a second adapter 2, with the backs of these two adapters 1 and 2 facing each other. The first adapter 1 is as follows... Figure 1 As shown, its front panel 18 has three device wiring connection terminals: two RJ-45 sockets 14 and one power socket 15. Figure 3 As shown, the back 19 of the first adapter 1 is provided with three interconnecting ends, namely two RJ-45 plugs 12 and one power plug 13. The three device wiring terminals and the three interconnecting ends are connected internally within the first adapter 1 in a one-to-one correspondence. The second adapter 2 is as follows... Figure 1 As shown, its front panel 28 has three device wiring connection terminals: two RJ-45 sockets 22 and one power socket 23. Figure 2 As shown, the back 29 of the second adapter 2 is provided with three interconnecting ends, namely two RJ-45 sockets 26 and one power socket 27. The three equipment line connection ends and the three interconnecting ends are connected inside the second adapter 2 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0021] The three device line connection terminals on the front of the first adapter 1 are connected to the first device, and the three device line connection terminals on the front of the second adapter 2 are connected to the second device. The first adapter 1 and the second adapter 2 are placed with their backs facing each other. Then, the second adapter 2 is moved so that its back is close to the back of the first adapter 1, so that the mating ends on the backs of the two are mated one by one. In this way, the first device and the second device are connected by this adapter.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the adapter has a base plate 3, on which a slide rail 31 is mounted. The second adapter 2 has a corresponding slider 21 mounted on its bottom surface, and is thus mounted on the base plate 3. Figure 3 As shown, a positioning groove 11 is formed on the bottom edge of the front side of the first adapter 1, as follows: Figure 5As shown, the edge of the base plate 3 is inserted into the positioning groove 11 to position the base plate 3 and the first adapter 1. Holding the handle 24 mounted on the front of the second adapter 2, push the second adapter 2 along the slide rail 31 on the positioned base plate 3 towards the first adapter 1, thus achieving mating between the back ends of the two. After use, hold the handle 24 and pull the second adapter 2 along the slide rail 31 away from the first adapter 1, thus disconnecting the back ends. To prevent the second adapter 2 from automatically moving towards the first adapter 1 on the slide rail 31 when the connection ends are disconnected, as follows... Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the second adapter 2 is provided with a snap-fit groove 25, correspondingly as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the base plate 3 has an elastic locking member 35 located away from the first adapter 1. The second adapter 2 moves along the slide rail 31 on the base plate 3 to the elastic locking member 35, whereupon the elastic locking member 35 engages with the locking groove 25, thus locking the second adapter 2 and preventing it from automatically moving closer to the first adapter 1. When the device needs to be used again, hold the handle 24 on the second locking member 2 and push it slightly towards the first adapter 1. The locking groove 25 on the second locking member 2 disengages from the elastic locking member 35, and the second locking member 2 disengages from the elastic locking member 35.
[0023] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Any non-substantial changes or substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention will still fall within the scope of patent protection.
