[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Furthermore, in this utility model, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0036] This utility model proposes a network cable locking structure, referring to... Figures 1 to 3 The network cable locking structure includes a housing 1, a locking element 2, a rotating element 3, a motor 4, a control board 5, and a sensing element 6. The housing 1 is provided with a receiving channel 111 for accommodating the network cable connector 8 and a mounting hole 14 communicating with the receiving channel 111. The locking element 2 is movably disposed at the mounting hole 14 and has a locked state for locking the network cable connector 8 and an unlocked state for unlocking the network cable connector 8.

[0037] The rotating component 3, the motor 4, and the control board 5 are all located inside the housing 1. The motor 4 drives the locking component 2 to switch between locked and unlocked states through the rotating component 3. The control board 5 is electrically connected to the motor 4 and has a sensing module. The sensing component 6 is located on the rotating component 3 and is used to cooperate with the sensing module to detect the status information of the locking component 2 in the locked or unlocked state. The control board 5 uploads the detected status information to the management system through an external terminal device.

[0038] Based on the above scheme, the network cable locking structure is compact and widely applicable. Moreover, through the sensing cooperation between the control board 5 and the sensing element 6, the locking and unlocking status of the network cable is monitored in real time. External terminal devices collect the locking and unlocking status information of the corresponding network cable and upload it to the management system. In this way, the management system can remotely monitor the locking and unlocking status of network cables in various areas, thereby realizing batch management and monitoring of network cables, reducing the difficulty of network cable security management, and thus improving the convenience of network cable management and monitoring.

[0039] Furthermore, in the locked state, the locking component 2 locks the network cable connector 8, that is, the locking component 2 holds the network cable connector 8, forming a restriction on the movement path of the network cable connector 8 when it is pulled out of the network port, thereby preventing the network cable connector 8 from being pulled out of the network port. This makes the locking security performance better and the anti-vandalism more effective.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3The housing 1 includes a housing body 11, an end cap 12, and a fixing block 13. A receiving channel 111 is formed in the housing body 11. The housing body 11 is also provided with an installation cavity 112 separated from the receiving channel 111. The end cap 12 is detachably connected to the housing 1 and seals the opening of the installation cavity 112. The locking member 2 is movably connected to the end cap 12. The end cap 12 and the housing 1 cooperate to form an installation hole 14. The fixing block 13 is located inside the housing body 11 and is used to install the motor 4 and the control board 5.

[0041] The mounting cavity 112 provides mounting space for the rotating component 3, the motor 4, and the control board 5. The mounting cavity 112 is located above the receiving channel 111. The locking component 2 can lock the network cable connector 8 from above, adapting to the position of the network cable connector 8 when it is working.

[0042] The fixing block 13 is externally connected to the ribs inside the shell body 11 through a slot, ensuring that the fixing block 13 can be stably installed inside the shell body 11. The fixing block 13 provides stable installation for the motor 4, ensuring that the motor 4 is reliably installed inside the shell body 11. The motor 4 is located inside the fixing block 13, so as to make reasonable use of the structural space of the fixing block 13, save space, improve the internal structural compactness of the shell body 11, and help reduce the volume of the network cable locking structure.

[0043] The end cap 12 and the housing body 11 can be detachably connected by snap-fit. One end of the receiving channel 111 has an entry opening 1111 for inserting the network cable connector 8, and the other end has an exposure opening 1112 for exposing the head of the network cable connector 8.

[0044] Furthermore, a stop portion 15 is formed within the receiving channel 111. The stop portion 15 is used to stop the network cable connector 8, thereby confining the network cable connector 8 within the receiving channel 111. The stop portion 15 is located at the exposed opening 1112. When the network cable connector 8 is inserted into the receiving channel 111, the stop portion 15 stops the protrusion of the network cable connector 8, thereby preventing the network cable connector 8 from protruding out of the receiving channel 111 and confining the network cable connector 8 within the receiving channel 111.

[0045] In the locked state, the locking element 2 locks the network cable connector 8. That is, the locking element 2 clamps the end of the elbow of the network cable connector 8 to form a limit on the movement path of the network cable connector 8 when it is pulled out of the network port, thereby locking the network cable.

[0046] Furthermore, the housing 1 is provided with a slot 122 that connects to the receiving channel 111. The slot 122 is used to limit the extension arms of the network cable connector 8. The slot 122 is formed in the end cover 12. By limiting the extension arms of the network cable connector 8 through the slot 122, the network cable connector 8 can be locked more reliably, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the network cable locking.

[0047] Furthermore, a limiting part 123 is provided inside the housing 1, which is used to limit the rotation angle of the rotating member 3. The limiting part 123 is provided on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 121. Through the limiting part 123 and the limiting cooperation of the rotating member 3, the rotation angle of the rotating member 3 can be limited, which further increases the user's operating feel and improves the operational reliability of the network cable locking structure.

[0048] For example, the rotating part 3 can rotate 180° and then stop, thus driving the locking part 2 into the locked state; or the rotating part 3 can rotate 180° in the opposite direction and then stop, thus driving the locking part 2 into the unlocked state.

[0049] Furthermore, the housing 1 is provided with an annular clearance groove 114 surrounding the mounting opening 113. The annular clearance groove 114 is used to adapt to the shape of the computer key interface, so as to be able to adapt to the interface shapes of more external terminal devices and improve the applicability of the network cable locking structure.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The end cap 12 has a receiving cavity 121, which includes a first cavity 1211 and a second cavity 1212 arranged at an angle. The locking member 2 includes a boss 222 extending into the first cavity 1211. The rotating member 3 includes a driving body 31 extending into the second cavity 1212. The driving body 31 is engaged with or released from the boss 222.

[0051] The first cavity 1211 and the second cavity 1212 are arranged vertically, so that the locking member 2 is installed in the vertical direction and can move in the vertical direction. In the locked state, the drive body 31 rotates to the locked position and abuts against the boss 222 to restrict the upward movement of the locking member 2. The locking member 2 clamps the elbow of the network cable connector 8 on the side facing the receiving channel 111 to form a limit with the network cable connector 8. The movement of the entire network cable locking structure along the network cable and away from the network port is restricted, and the network cable locking structure cannot be pulled out, thereby locking the network cable connector 8. The user cannot press or operate the elbow of the network cable connector 8 to lock the network cable.

[0052] When in the unlocked state, the drive body 31 rotates to the unlocked position, releasing the drive body 31 from its abutment against the boss 222, thus providing space for the boss 222 to move. This allows the locking member 2 to move in the vertical direction, releasing the restriction on the movement of the locking member 2. When the network cable locking structure is pulled out, the elbow of the network cable connector 8 can squeeze and push the locking member 2 to move, allowing the network cable locking structure to be freely inserted and removed, thereby unlocking the network cable connector 8. The user can freely press and operate the elbow of the network cable connector 8.

[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 6The control board 5 includes a male connector 53 for connecting to an external terminal device. The housing 1 has a mounting port 113, and the male connector 53 is located in the mounting port 113. The external terminal device supplies power to the control board 5 and the motor 4. The control board 5 receives unlocking or locking commands sent by the external terminal device. The control board 5 controls the motor 4 to work based on the locking or unlocking commands. The control board 5 establishes communication with the external terminal device through the male connector 53, or the control board 5 establishes communication with the external terminal device wirelessly.

[0054] Power is supplied by an external terminal device, which allows for unlocking and locking operations only when the external terminal device is plugged in, thus improving the anti-theft effect and security performance of the network cable.

[0055] The control board 5 establishes communication with external terminal devices wirelessly, which can be Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other wireless communication methods. External terminal devices may include mobile phones, computer keys, or other terminal devices.

[0056] The male connector 53 can be of various types, such as Type-C interface, Micro USB interface, Lightning interface, computer key interface, etc. In this embodiment, the male connector 53 adopts a Type-C interface.

[0057] Furthermore, the control board 5 includes a main control board 51 and a socket connection board 52, which are electrically connected via a flexible circuit board. The male connector 53 is electrically connected to the socket connection board 52. The main control board 51 is mounted on the fixing block 13, and the socket connection board 52 is positioned at the end of the fixing block 13 facing the mounting opening 113. The end cap 12 and the housing body 11 press against the fixing block 13 to fix the socket connection board 52 inside the housing body 11, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the socket connection board 52.

[0058] Furthermore, by distributing the main control board 51 and the socket connection board 52, the main control board 51 and the socket connection board 52 can be installed reasonably within the limited space of the main body 11, making full use of the internal space and helping to reduce the volume of the network cable locking structure.

[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The sensing element 6 includes a first sensing part 611 and a second sensing part 612. In the locked state, the first sensing part 611 engages with the sensing module; in the unlocked state, the second sensing part 612 engages with the sensing module.

[0060] The rotating component 3 is provided with an assembly hole 32, and the sensing element 6 is embedded in the assembly hole 32. The sensing element 6 is located on the rotating component 3 and rotates synchronously with the rotating component 3. During the rotation of the driving body 31 of the rotating component 3, the sensing element 6 can detect the locking and unlocking states of the locking component 2 in real time through the first sensing part 611 and the second sensing part 612, so as to monitor the locking and unlocking states of the network cable in real time.

[0061] The sensing element 6 includes a magnet 61, and the sensing module can be configured as a Hall element. The first sensing part 611 and the second sensing part 612 are located at both ends of the magnet 61. When the first sensing part 611 is set as the S pole, the second sensing part 612 is set as the N pole; when the first sensing part 611 is set as the N pole, the second sensing part 612 is set as the S pole.

[0062] According to design requirements, the magnetism of the first sensing part 611 and the second sensing part 612 can be customized. For example, in the embodiment of this application, the first sensing part 611 is set as the S pole. When it cooperates with the Hall element magnetic induction, it can be determined that the locking member 2 is in the locked state; the second sensing part 612 is set as the N pole. When it cooperates with the Hall element magnetic induction, it can be determined that the locking member 2 is in the unlocked state.

[0063] The sensing element 6 also includes a mounting sleeve 62 for mounting a magnet 61. The mounting sleeve 62 has a mounting groove for mounting the magnet 61. The magnet 61 is embedded in the mounting sleeve 62, and the magnet 61 and the mounting sleeve 62 are embedded in the assembly hole 32.

[0064] This design makes efficient use of the structural space of the rotating component 3, saving space and improving the compactness of the structure, which helps to reduce the volume of the network cable locking structure. With the help of the mounting sleeve 62, the magnet 61 can be stably mounted on the rotating component 3. When the rotating component 3 rotates, it stably drives the magnet 61 to rotate, allowing the magnet 61 to stably engage with the sensing module through magnetic induction. This enables accurate detection of the locking and unlocking states of the locking component 2, facilitating network cable management and monitoring by administrators.

[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The network cable locking structure includes an elastic element 7, one end of which abuts against the housing 1 and the other end of which abuts against the locking element 2. The locking element 2 is movably connected to the housing 1. In the locked and unlocked states, the elastic element 7 provides the locking element 2 with an elastic force to move toward the receiving channel 111.

[0066] Understandably, in the unlocked state, the elastic element 7 is in an extended state. Under the action of the elastic element 7, the locking element 2 remains extended out of the mounting hole 14, with a portion of the locking element 2 remaining inserted into the receiving channel 111. In the unlocked state, when the network cable locking structure is inserted or removed, the locking element 2 can make elastic contact with the network cable connector 8, which helps improve the user's operating feel. Especially after the network cable connector 8 is inserted into the receiving channel 111, when the locking element 2 engages with the elastic arm of the network cable connector 8 under the action of the elastic element 7, a clicking sound can be produced to indicate to the user that it is properly engaged.

[0067] The number of elastic elements 7 includes two. These two elastic elements 7 stably drive the locking element 2 to move, increasing the reliability of the locking element 2 in locking the network cable connector 8, and simultaneously increasing the restoring force of the locking element 2 upon reset, thereby increasing the reset speed of the locking element 2. The elastic elements 7 can be springs or other structural components with elastic properties.

[0068] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The locking component 2 includes a locking body 21 and a connecting body 22. The connecting body 22 is movably connected to the housing 1. The rotating component 3 has a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the rotating component 3 restricts the movement of the connecting body 22 so that the locking body 21 locks the network cable connector 8. In the unlocked position, the rotating component 3 releases the restriction on the movement of the connecting body 22 so that the locking body 21 releases the lock on the network cable connector.

[0069] The locking body 21 and the connecting body 22 are integrally formed. The locking body 21 holds the elbow of the network cable RJ8 so as to lock the network cable RJ8.

[0070] The connecting body 22 includes a boss 222 and two connecting arms 221 arranged at intervals. The boss 222 is located between the two connecting arms 221. The rotating member 3 includes a driving body 31. The driving body 31 includes a locking abutment 311 and an unlocking release part 312. When the driving body 31 rotates to the locking position, the locking abutment 311 abuts against the boss 222. When the driving body 31 rotates to the unlocking position, the unlocking release part 312 releases the abutment against the boss 222.

[0071] When locking is required, the control board 5 receives a locking command sent by an external terminal device. The control board 5 controls the motor 4 to start working. The motor 4 drives the rotating part 3 to rotate, and the rotating part 3 drives the locking abutment 311 to rotate, so that the locking abutment 311 is aligned with the boss 222. The locking abutment 311 limits the movement of the boss 222 in the upward direction. Under the action of the elastic part 7, the locking body 21 abuts against the network cable connector 8, and the locking body 21 holds the network cable connector 8 to limit the movement path of the network cable connector 8 when it is pulled out of the network port. In this way, the network cable connector 8 cannot be pulled out, thus completing the locking of the network cable.

[0072] When unlocking is required, the control board 5 receives an unlocking command sent by an external terminal device. The control board 5 controls the motor 4 to start working. The motor 4 drives the rotating part 3 to rotate, and the rotating part 3 drives the locking top 311 to rotate. The rotating part 3 drives the locking top 311 to gradually disengage from the boss 222 until the unlocking release part 312 is aligned with the boss 222. When the unlocking release part 312 rotates to be aligned with the boss 222, the unlocking release part 312 can provide space for the boss 222 to move. That is to say, when the locking part 2 is squeezed, it can move upward to release the locking of the locking part 2. The network cable connector 8 can be freely plugged in and unplugged, thereby completing the unlocking of the network cable.

[0073] The driving body 31 can be configured as a semi-cylinder. One side of the semi-cylinder is arc-shaped and forms a locking abutment 311, while the other side has a flat surface. The flat surface can cooperate with the limiting part 123 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating member 3. One side of the driving body 31 is notched to form an unlocking release part 312. When the notch of the semi-cylinder rotates to align with the boss 222, the notch can provide space for the boss 222 to move, allowing the locking member 2 to move upward.

[0074] Two connecting arms 221 are respectively movably connected to the outside of the end cap 12. Part of the end cap 12 is located between the two connecting arms 221. The boss 222 is movably located in the first cavity 1211. The ends of the two connecting arms 221 away from the locking body 21 are provided with hooks to limit the vertical movement of the locking member 2. Under the action of the elastic member 7, the locking member 2 always tends to move towards the receiving channel 111. The hooks prevent the locking member 2 from disengaging from the end cap 12, so that the locking member 2 can be held at the mounting hole 14.

[0075] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
