[0014] 1. The dustproof component group is installed on the main component group through the mounting component group, and the dustproof component group covers the outside of the network interface slot. When it is necessary to insert the network cable into the network interface slot, the crystal head of the network cable is inserted into the dustproof component group. In the process of insertion, the crystal head pushes open the dustproof cover, and the dustproof cover rotates through the rotating shaft connected with the upper cover. The rotation of the dustproof cover drives the vertical rod, and the spring member is stretched. The dustproof cover does not block the insertion of the crystal head. When the interface is not used, after the connected crystal head is pulled out, the spring member releases the stored energy, and the vertical rod and the dustproof cover are pulled to the original position. The structure composed of the dustproof cover, the upper cover and the side plate member re-forms a sealed dustproof structure, and dust cannot enter the network interface slot. The design of the dustproof component group can prevent dust from entering the network interface slot, thereby avoiding the problem that long-term use of dust affects the use of the switch port. Moreover, the dustproof component group is installed on the main component group through the mounting component group. When the network interface slot is used subsequently, the crystal head will not be blocked. When not in use, the crystal head is pulled out, and the dustproof component group is automatically returned. In summary, the design can effectively prevent dust from entering the interface, and ensure that the crystal head can be quickly inserted and pulled out when needed, which is convenient and practical.
[0015] 2、The dustproof structure can be conveniently installed on the socket assembly and the switch, so that the actual use is facilitated. When the dustproof component group is installed on the main component group, the connection can be completed by clamping the switch shell with the two sets of clamping plate members. During installation, first, align the dustproof component group with the network cable interface slot on the switch socket member, then make the two sets of clamping plate members contact the two sides of the switch shell, move the clamping plate members in the sliding groove of the side bracket by rotating the threaded rod member, and then clamp the switch shell to complete the connection between the dustproof component group and the main component group. This design can effectively simplify the installation process. During actual use, only the dustproof component group needs to be produced, and then the dustproof component group is installed on the switch shell, so that the dustproof component group can protect the switch socket member and the network cable interface slot, and the dustproof component group can be removed when not in use, and the use flexibility is high.
