[0037] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes a protective door mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the protective door mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a front shell 100, a rear shell 200, and a protective door 300. The front shell 100 has a through hole 101 corresponding to the network plug on its front side. The rear shell 200 is installed on the rear side of the front shell 100. The protective door 300 is slidably disposed between the front shell 100 and the rear shell 200 to cover or open the through hole 101. Guide wings 310 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the protective door 300. The guide wings 310 correspond to the corners 102 on the rear side of the front shell 100. The front end of the rear shell 200 has a guide surface 201 corresponding to the guide wings 310. The guide surface 201 and the corners 102 cooperate to form a guide channel 301 that allows the guide wings 310 to slide in the up and down direction, thereby realizing the function of the guide wings 310 sliding to open or close the through hole 101. The structure is simple and the reliability is high.

[0039] Specifically, the structure of the guide channel 301 is respectively set in the front shell 100 and the rear shell 200. After the two are assembled, the guide channel 301 is formed. The structure is simple, and there is enough space between the front shell 100 and the rear shell 200 to set the structure of the guide channel 301. The protective door 300 can be installed reasonably and conveniently, and it has high reliability.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the corner 102 on the rear side of the front shell 100 can directly form part of the guide channel 301 without the need for additional guide structures, resulting in a simple structure and convenient processing.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the front shell 100 and the rear shell 200 are assembled and connected by a detachable structure, such as by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, a plug-in mechanism, a screw mechanism, etc., which facilitates the assembly of the front shell 100 and the rear shell 200 and facilitates the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the protective door.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, the rear shell 200 is used to install the network port body 400, thereby positioning the network port body 400 at a position corresponding to the front shell 100.

[0043] Specifically, the network port main body 400 is installed onto the rear shell 200 via a detachable mechanism such as a snap-fit, to facilitate the installation, replacement, and maintenance of the network port main body 400.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the guide wing 310 is connected to the protective door 300 through the connecting part 320. The inner side of the guide wing 310, the connecting part 320 and the side of the protective door 300 form a groove 302 facing the front shell 100. The rear side of the front shell 100 is provided with a guide strip 110 that cooperates with the groove 302 and extends in the vertical direction. Through the cooperation between the guide strip 110 and the groove 302, the sliding of the protective door 300 is guided. It can cooperate with the guide wing 310 and the guide channel 301 to improve the sliding accuracy of the protective door 300 and improve reliability.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the guide wing 310 and the guide channel 301, and the guide strip 110 and the groove 302 are all in clearance fit, that is, they have a set sliding clearance to ensure the smooth sliding of the protective door 300.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the outer surface of the guide wing 310 has an arc-shaped structure, and the guide surface 201 is an arc-shaped surface corresponding to the outer surface of the guide wing 310, so as to improve the sliding guidance effect of the guide wing 310.

[0047] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, the outer surface of the guide wing 310 may also be configured as a square structure, and the guide surface 201 is a corresponding square surface.

[0048] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, other structures may also be configured, which will not be described in detail here.

[0049] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the rear end face of the protective door 300 is provided with a protruding rib 330 extending in the vertical direction. The protruding rib 330 corresponds to the front end face of the network socket body 400 or the rear shell 200, so as to reduce the contact area when the rear end face of the protective door 300 abuts against the front end face of the network socket body 400 or the rear shell 200, and reduce the movement assistance of the protective door 300.

[0050] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a return spring 340 is provided between the guide wing 310 and the inner side of the upper end of the front shell 100. The return spring 340 can apply a downward elastic force to the protective door 300 so that the protective door 300 can automatically return to the position of closing the through hole 101.

[0051] Specifically, the reset spring 340 is a compression spring. Of course, in the specific implementation process, the reset spring 340 can also be a tension spring. The tension spring is set between the guide wing 310 and the inner side of the lower end of the front shell 100, which satisfies the reset and closing function of the protective door. This will not be described in detail here.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the upper end of the guide wing 310 is provided with a positioning post 311 that can be inserted into the reset spring 340, so as to improve the installation accuracy of the reset spring 340 and improve the reliability of the reset spring 340.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, a positioning post for inserting the return spring 340 may also be provided on the inner side of the upper end of the front shell 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the front end face of the protective door 300 is provided with an auxiliary plate 350 that can extend through the through hole 101, so as to facilitate the operator to open the protective door 300 from the outside of the network socket.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the front opening of the through hole 101 is recessed relative to the front end face of the front shell 100, and the edge of the front opening of the through hole 101 is provided with a bevel 103 to facilitate the insertion of the network plug into the through hole 101.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, the front end of the auxiliary plate 350 does not protrude from the front end surface of the front shell 100, so as to avoid interference between the auxiliary plate 350 and other mechanisms.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, the recessed depth of the front opening of the through hole 101 relative to the front end face of the front shell 100 is equal to or greater than the protrusion height of the auxiliary plate 350, so that the auxiliary plate 350 does not protrude from the front end face of the front shell 100, thus avoiding interference with other mechanisms.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the upper end of the protective door 300 is provided with pointed protrusions 360 on both sides, which can guide the movement of the protective door 300.

[0059] Specifically, the main body of the protective door 300 is located between the rear end face of the front shell 100 and the front end face of the rear shell 200. Since the guide wing 310 and the guide channel 301 are in clearance fit, that is, they have a set sliding clearance, the protective door 300 will have a certain amount of shaking. Through the setting of the pointed protrusion 360, the protective door 300 can be better guided to slide within the set space, thereby improving the reliability of the protective door.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the protruding ribs 330 are configured as two lines, each corresponding to one of the two protruding heads 360, in order to ensure the guiding effect of the protruding ribs 330.

[0061] Specifically, the protective door 300 is thicker at the location where the protrusion 330 is set, which may cause interference with other mechanisms during the transaction. The protrusion 360 can better guide the sliding of the protective door 300 and the protrusion 330, thereby improving the reliability of the sliding.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, the guide wing 310 is movably disposed on the protective door 300 to reduce the influence of processing or assembly errors on the sliding position of the guide wing 310, thereby improving the reliability of the sliding of the protective door 300.

[0063] Specifically, the guide wing 310 and the guide channel 301 are in sliding fit. However, due to machining or assembly errors, the guide wing 310 and the guide channel 301 are easily out of axis and have a small angle offset. By movably setting the guide wing 310 in the protective door 300, the guide wing 310 has a certain degree of mobility, thereby reducing the impact of machining or assembly errors on the sliding position of the guide wing 310.

[0064] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a connecting part 320 is provided on one side of the guide wing 310, and an active groove 303 is provided on the side of the protective door 300, which allows the connecting part 320 to slide into, so that the guide wing 310 can slide relative to the protective door 300, and the guide wing 310 can automatically slide to the desired position.

[0065] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, the guide wing 310 can also be mounted on the protective door 300 via a rotating structure. For example, the guide wing 310 can be mounted via a rotating shaft, which can also satisfy the movement function of the guide wing 310. This will not be described in detail here.

[0066] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the movable groove 303 penetrates the protective door 300, and an external support spring 370 is provided inside the movable groove 303. The connecting parts 320 of the two guide wings 310 are inserted into the movable groove 303 from the openings at both ends of the movable groove 303 and abut against the external support spring 370. The external support spring 370 can generate an outward elastic force on the guide wings 310, so that the guide wings 310 maintain the tendency to move outward, so that the guide wings 310 and the guide channel 301 have a good matching effect, and can move adaptively when there is a deviation.

[0067] Specifically, the outer support spring 370 is a compression spring, which generates an outward elastic force on the guide wing 310.

[0068] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, a tension spring may also be provided in the movable groove 303, with both ends of the tension spring connected to the connecting part 320 of the two guide wings 310 respectively, so as to apply an inward pulling force to the guide wings 310, and also to make the guide wings 310 and the guide channel 301 have a better cooperation effect.

[0069] Reference Figure 7 The network socket according to the second aspect of the present invention includes the protective door mechanism of any of the first aspects of the present invention, thereby making the network socket have better reliability.

[0070] Of course, this invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
