Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network cable connector technology, and in particular to a quick-connect network cable connector. Background Technology

[0002] A quick-connect Ethernet cable is a device used to quickly connect and disconnect Ethernet cables. It is commonly used in local area networks (LANs), home networks, and other situations requiring frequent connection and disconnection of network cables. The main function of quick-connect Ethernet cables is to allow users to quickly and easily connect and disconnect network cables, improving the flexibility and convenience of network connections. There are many types of quick-connect Ethernet cables, including Ethernet cable connectors, adapters, and RJ45 connectors.

[0003] In traditional methods, after crimping the RJ45 connector and network cable, the connector is snapped into place with the device. Although the deformed plastic structure provides some restraint after crimping, accidental pulling of the network cable by external force can easily cause the metal wires in the cable to loosen from the RJ45 connector, affecting signal transmission. Therefore, a quick-connect connector for network cables is proposed to enhance the stability of the connection between the network cable and the RJ45 connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a quick-connect network cable connector, which effectively solves the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a quick-connect network cable connector, including a crystal head body. One end of the crystal head body has two first slots and two second slots, arranged opposite each other on all four sides of the crystal head body. A tapered reinforcing member, which is fitted onto the network cable, is installed on one side of the crystal head body, and two symmetrically arranged tapered blocks are installed inside it. A first hook, which mates with the first slots, is installed on one side of the tapered reinforcing member. A protective tube, transitioning from a square tube to a tapered tube, is fitted onto the outer wall of the tapered reinforcing member. A second hook, which mates with the second slots, is installed on one side of the protective tube.

[0006] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, four hollow protrusions are installed at the root position of the conical reinforcement near the first hook, and a limiting fork is installed between each pair of them to block the conical block. After the limiting fork and the hollow protrusions are installed, the forked structure in the middle can effectively avoid the network cable and block the two conical blocks, preventing the two conical blocks from sliding out of the inside of the conical reinforcement.

[0007] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, multiple vertical protrusions are installed on both sides of one end of the limiting fork, and rounded corners are provided at both ends of the limiting fork. In this solution, the multiple vertical protrusions provide a gripping position for the operator and increase the friction between the fork and the operator's fingers. At the same time, the rounded corners at both ends of the limiting fork make it easier to enter the interior of the four hollow protrusions, which facilitates the installation operation by the operator.

[0008] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the middle part of both conical blocks is arc-shaped, and its size is adapted to the size of the external network cable. A gap is left between the two sides of the two conical blocks. In this solution, the internal size of the two conical blocks should be designed according to the type of network cable to clamp Category 1, Category 2, Category 3, Category 4, Category 5, Category 5e, and Category 6 cables, thereby improving its applicability and meeting the practical needs of different occasions.

[0009] Preferably, the protective tube is provided with limiting protrusions on both sides of the inner wall near the limiting fork. This design facilitates the limiting of the end of the limiting fork, preventing it from sliding out of the four hollow protrusions, ensuring good overall tensile strength, preventing loosening of the crimping position between the network cable and the RJ45 connector, and ensuring stable signal transmission.

[0010] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the inner wall of the square tube section of the protective fitting is stepped, and the inner wall of the tapered tube section of the protective fitting is provided with multiple arc-shaped protrusions. A pressing plate is installed on the top surface of the protective fitting. The pressing plate in this embodiment facilitates pressing the clip on the crystal head body. Its sheet-like structure design increases the contact area between the operator's fingers and the clip on the crystal head body, making it easier to press the clip and separate the crystal head body from the external device port. The multiple arc-shaped protrusions increase the friction between the crystal head and the outer wall of the network cable, and help transfer the pulling force to the crystal head body after the network cable is pulled by external force.

[0011] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. This quick-connect network cable connector comprises a crystal head body, a conical reinforcing member, and two conical blocks. The conical reinforcing member has two first hooks at its ends, which engage with first grooves on the outer wall of the crystal head body. The two conical blocks are symmetrically installed inside the conical reinforcing member. When an external force pulls on the network cable, the cable moves outward, causing the two conical blocks to slide relative to the conical reinforcing member. This increases the friction between the two conical blocks and the cable, transferring the pulling force to the crystal head body and preventing loosening of the crimped connection between the cable and the crystal head body. This effectively solves the problems existing in the prior art.

[0013] 2. This quick-connect network cable features a tapered reinforcing member with four hollow protrusions at its end. These protrusions house limit forks that restrict the movement of two tapered blocks, preventing them from slipping out of the reinforcing member as the network cable moves toward the connector. A protective tube with multiple arc-shaped protrusions on its inner wall further increases friction with the external network cable, assisting in transmitting external pulling force to the connector.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a quick connector for network cables includes a crystal head body 1. One end of the crystal head body 1 has two first slots 2 and two second slots 11, which are arranged opposite each other on the four sides of the crystal head body 1. A conical reinforcing member 10 is installed on one side of the crystal head body 1 to fit over the network cable, and two symmetrically arranged conical blocks 8 are installed inside the conical reinforcing member 10. A first hook 3 that cooperates with the first slot 2 is installed on one side of the conical reinforcing member 10. A protective tube 5 is fitted onto the outer wall of the conical reinforcing member 10. Its shape transitions from a square tube to a conical tube. A second hook 6 that cooperates with the second slot 11 is installed on one side of the protective tube 5.

[0025] Four hollow protrusions 14 are installed at the root position of the conical reinforcing member 10 near the first hook 3. A limiting fork 7 is installed between each pair of these protrusions to block the conical blocks 8. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, after the limiting fork 7 and the hollow protrusions 14 are installed, the forked structure in the middle can effectively avoid the network cable and block the two conical blocks 8, preventing the two conical blocks 8 from sliding out of the inside of the conical reinforcing member 10.

[0026] Multiple vertical protrusions 15 are installed on both sides of one end of the limiting fork 7, and rounded corners are provided at the other two ends of the limiting fork 7. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the multiple vertical protrusions 15 facilitate the operator to provide a gripping position and correspondingly increase the friction between the position and the operator's fingers. At the same time, the rounded corner design at the other two ends of the limiting fork 7 makes it easier to enter the interior of the four hollow protrusions 14, which is convenient for the operator to perform installation operations.

[0027] The middle part of both conical blocks 8 is arc-shaped, and its size is adapted to the size of the external network cable. There is a gap between the two sides of the two conical blocks 8. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the internal size of the two conical blocks 8 should be designed according to the type of network cable, so as to clamp Category 1, Category 2, Category 3, Category 4, Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6, etc., to improve its applicability and meet the practical needs of different occasions.

[0028] The protective tube 5 is provided with limiting protrusions 13 on both sides of the inner wall near the limiting fork 7. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, this facilitates the limiting of the end of the limiting fork 7, prevents the limiting fork 7 from sliding out of the four hollow protrusions 14, ensures that the whole has good tensile strength, avoids loosening of the crimping position of the network cable and the crystal head, and ensures stable signal transmission.

[0029] The inner wall of the square section of the protective fitting 5 is stepped, and the inner wall of the tapered section of the protective fitting 5 is provided with multiple arc-shaped protrusions 12. The top surface of the protective fitting 5 is equipped with a pressing plate 4. As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the pressing plate 4 facilitates pressing the clip on the crystal head body 1. It adopts a sheet-like structure design, which can increase the contact area between the operator's fingers and the clip on the crystal head body 1, making it convenient to press the clip and separate the crystal head body 1 from the external device port. The multiple arc-shaped protrusions 12 facilitate increase the friction between the cable and the outer wall of the network cable. After the network cable is pulled by external force, the pulling force is transferred to the crystal head body 1.

[0030] This network cable quick connector requires the following steps to use:

[0031] 1) During installation, first put the protective fitting 5 and the tapered reinforcing member 10 on the outside of the network cable;

[0032] 2) Strip the insulation from the ends of the network cable, arrange them according to the steps for installing the RJ45 connector, and crimp them together;

[0033] 3) Slide the sliding conical reinforcement 10 toward the crystal head body 1 to a suitable position, install the two conical blocks 8 inside the conical reinforcement 10, and block them with the limiting fork 7;

[0034] 4) Push the tapered reinforcing member 10 forward so that the end of the network cable has a certain redundancy inside the crystal head body 1, and so that the two first hooks 3 are engaged with the two first slots 2.

[0035] 5) Push the protective fitting 5 to completely cover the tapered reinforcing member 10 and connect it to the end of the crystal head body 1. At the same time, the two second hooks 6 are respectively engaged with the two second slots 11 to complete the installation.

[0036] In summary, when used by the user, the system consists of a crystal head body 1, a conical reinforcing member 10, and two conical blocks 8. The conical reinforcing member 10 has two first hooks 3 at its ends, which engage with the first slots 2 on the outer wall of the crystal head body 1. The two conical blocks 8 are symmetrically installed inside the conical reinforcing member 10. When an external force pulls on the network cable, the cable moves outward, causing the two conical blocks 8 to slide relative to the conical reinforcing member 10. This causes the two conical blocks 8 to move towards each other, increasing the friction between them and the network cable, transferring the pulling force to the crystal head body 1, and preventing the network cable from slidably from contacting the crystal head body 1. The crimping position is loose, thus effectively solving the problem existing in the prior art. Furthermore, by setting a conical reinforcing member 10, four hollow protrusions 14 are installed at its end. The four hollow protrusions 14 are equipped with limit forks 7, which limit the two conical blocks 8. When the network cable moves towards the crystal head body 1, the two conical blocks 8 are prevented from sliding out of the conical reinforcing member 10. By setting a protective tube 5, the inner wall of its conical tube section is provided with multiple arc-shaped protrusions 12, which facilitates the increase of friction between the tube and the external network cable, and is used to assist in transmitting the external pulling force to the crystal head body 1.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
