[0027] 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.

[0028] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a network connector includes: a housing 100, with a mounting cavity 100a formed on the surface of the housing 100, and a sealing ring 101 fitted onto the housing 100 for sealing the mounting gap between the housing 100 and an external structural component; a socket 300, at least partially disposed in the mounting cavity 100a and conforming to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 100a, the socket 300 having a cable insertion port 300a communicating with the outside, the cable insertion port 300a being used to insert a network cable; and a pin connector 500, the pin connector 500 being connected to the side of the socket 300 opposite to the cable insertion port 300a, the pin connector 500 being used to connect to an external adapter board to enable network signal communication with the outside.

[0030] In this invention, a network cable is plugged into the socket 300a of the socket 300, and a pin connector 500 is connected to the side of the socket 300 opposite to the socket 300a. When applied to a power supply box, the pin connector 500 is connected to the adapter plate of the power supply box, thereby realizing the network connection of the power supply box. In this invention, the socket 300 is installed in the power supply box through the mounting cavity 100a of the outer shell 100. Since the outer shell 100 is fitted with a sealing ring 101, the sealing ring 101 seals the gap between the outer shell 100 and the power supply box. Simultaneously, the socket 300 fits against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 100a, preventing water from flowing into the power supply box through the gap between the mounting cavity 100a and the socket 300. This effectively seals the mounting gap, preventing water from flowing into the power supply box and causing circuit failures, thus meeting the outdoor waterproof rating requirements of the power supply box.

[0031] It should be noted that the outer casing 100 is installed on the power supply box by compressing the sealing ring 101, which improves the installation stability of the outer casing 100 on the power supply box. This ensures the sealing effect of the sealing ring 101 on the installation gap, preventing water from entering the power supply box through the installation gap between the outer casing 100 and the power supply box, and improving the outdoor waterproof rating of the power supply box. In this embodiment, the pin connector 500 can be directly connected to the adapter board through the pin socket 510, or it can be connected to the adapter board through the adapter 530, as long as the circuit connection between the socket 300 and the adapter board can be achieved. This embodiment is not limited to this, and all of the above are within the protection scope of this utility model. To further explain, the socket 300 includes a network port 310 and a first circuit board 330. The network port 310 has a cable insertion port 300a. Of course, the network port 310 can be equipped with multiple cable insertion ports 300a as needed. The network cable is connected through the cable insertion ports 300a of the network port 310. The network port 310 is connected to the first circuit board 330, the first circuit board 330 is connected to the pin connector 500, and the pin connector 500 is connected to the adapter board of the power supply box to realize the network connection of the power supply box. Of course, before the outer shell 100 covering the socket 300 is injection molded, this embodiment can apply glue to the gaps 310a to prevent glue leakage during injection molding, which could cause circuit failure. In this embodiment, the socket 300 is installed in the mounting cavity 100a and fits against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 100a. This prevents water from entering the power supply box through the gap between the mounting cavity 100a and the socket 300, thus preventing the internal circuitry of the power supply box from malfunctioning due to water contact and improving the outdoor waterproof rating of the power supply box. In this way, the display cabinet is not limited by its vertical placement direction, allowing for placement in any orientation and satisfying the need for free assembly and shaping of the display. Furthermore, the connector 300a of the socket 300 in this embodiment can connect to an RJ45 interface signal network cable. Compared with the network cable of the aviation connector interface, this embodiment reduces the cost of external network cables while meeting the outdoor waterproof rating requirements.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the pin connector 500 includes a pin seat 510 and an adapter 530. The pin seat 510 passes through the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 100a and is connected to the socket seat 300. The adapter 530 is connected to the side of the pin seat 510 away from the socket seat 300 and is used to connect an adapter plate. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the pin seat 510 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 100a. Of course, the pin seat 510 can be seamlessly welded to the outer shell 100, or it can be interference-fitted to the outer shell 100. Alternatively, the outer shell 100 can be injection molded to encapsulate the pin seat 510, as long as the effective sealing of the gap between the pin seat 510 and the outer shell 100 can be ensured. This embodiment is not limited to these limitations, and all of the above are within the protection scope of this utility model. This invention prevents water from entering the power supply box while enabling the pin connector 500 to connect to network signals via the pin socket 510 and adapter 530. This allows for connection to adapter boards of power supply boxes with different orientations, thus ensuring network connectivity for power supply boxes with different orientations.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the pin socket 510 includes a base 511 and a first pin 513. The bottom wall of the mounting cavity 100a is provided with a mounting opening, and the base 511 is sealed in the mounting opening. The first pin 513 passes through the base 511 and is used to connect the socket 300 and the adapter 530. Specifically, the first pin 513 is inserted into the first circuit board 330. In order to achieve stable installation of the first pin 513, the first pin 513 can also be soldered to the first circuit board 330. After soldering, in this embodiment, a shell 100 that covers the socket 300 can be injection molded on the surface of the base 511, thereby sealing the gap between the shell 100 and the base 511, preventing water from entering the power box through the mounting cavity 100a, and improving the waterproof rating of the power box. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pin holder 510 is connected to the adapter 530 through the first pin 513, which avoids the problem of glue leakage caused by the setting of the insertion hole in the pin holder 510 during the injection molding process and the problem of the cured glue clogging the insertion hole, thereby ensuring the conductive connection between the pin holder 510 and the adapter 530.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the outer shell 100 is an injection-molded covering layer, which partially covers the socket 300 and the base 511. It should be noted that in this embodiment, after welding the socket 300 and the pin holder 510, the outer shell 100 is formed by injection molding plastic material onto the surfaces of the base 511 and the socket 300, thereby ensuring the sealing effect between the socket 300 and the outer shell 100, as well as the sealing effect between the base 511 and the outer shell 100. Simultaneously, the first pin 513 passes through the base 511, ensuring the conductivity between the socket 300 and the adapter 530. This achieves network connection while ensuring a sealing effect on installation gaps, improving the outdoor waterproof rating of the power supply box.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the base 511 forms a limiting groove 511a, and the adapter 530 is provided with a limiting block 536. The limiting groove 511a and the limiting block 536 cooperate to limit the insertion of the first pin 513 into the adapter 530. It should be noted that the adapter 530 has a first socket 530a. With the cooperation of the limiting groove 511a and the limiting block 536, the first pin 513 of the pin holder 510 is inserted into the first socket 530a of the adapter 530, thereby realizing the limiting connection between the pin holder 510 and the adapter 530. Of course, this embodiment can set the position and size of the limiting groove 511a and the limiting block 536 according to actual needs to make the adapter 530 stably connected to the pin holder 510, thereby effectively ensuring the connection of the network signal. This embodiment is not limited to this, and all of the above are within the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the first pin 513 includes a first pin portion 501 and a second pin portion 502 arranged at an angle. The first pin portion 501 passes through the base 511, and its two ends are respectively connected to the second pin portion 502 and the adapter 530. The second pin portion 502 is connected to the socket 300. It should be noted that the angle between the first pin portion 501 and the second pin portion 502 can be any angle between 0 and 90°. Specifically, the first pin portion 501 and the second pin portion 502 are arranged at a 90° angle. The second pin portion 502 is connected to the first circuit board 330 of the socket 300. In this embodiment, by adjusting the angle between the first pin portion 501 and the second pin portion 502, a stable connection of the adapter 530 is achieved, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the adapter 530 and the adapter board, which is beneficial for achieving network connection.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the adapter 530 has a first socket 530a and a second pin 533 spaced apart. The first socket 530a mates with the first pin portion 501 to connect the adapter 530 to the pin socket 510. The second pin 533 is angled to the first pin portion 501 so that the adapter 530 is connected to the adapter board via the second pin 533. It should be noted that a right-angle pin is inserted into the first socket 530a. The first pin 513 is connected to the right-angle pin through the first socket 530a. The right-angle pin is mounted on the second circuit board to conduct electricity to the second pin 533. Thus, the second pin 533 is connected to the adapter board, realizing the network connection of the power supply box. This embodiment adjusts the insertion direction by setting the second pin 533, thereby adapting to the network connection of power supply boxes with different orientations.

[0038] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the adapter 530 is further provided with a third pin 535, which is connected to the second pin 533. The third pin 535 is used to connect an external signal line, so that the external signal line is conducted to the second pin 533 through the third pin 535. It should be noted that the connection between the second pin 533 and the third pin 535 can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through a second circuit board. This embodiment is not limited to this, and all of the above are within the protection scope of this utility model. In this embodiment, the external signal line is connected to the adapter 530 through the third pin 535. Thus, the external signal line is connected to the adapter board of the second pin 533 through the third pin 535, realizing the signal connection of the power supply box.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, the power supply box includes a box body, an adapter board, and the aforementioned network connector. The adapter board is disposed inside the box body, and the network connector passes through the box body. The pin connector 500 of the network connector is connected to the adapter board. It should be noted that the network connector's port 300a is connected to the outside environment. An external network cable is plugged into the port 300a of the connector socket 300. The pin connector 500 is connected to the side of the connector socket 300 opposite to the port 300a, and the pin connector 500 is connected to the adapter board, thereby realizing the network connection of the power supply box. In this utility model, the socket 300 is installed on the power box through the mounting cavity 100a of the outer shell 100. Since the outer shell 100 is fitted with a sealing ring 101, the sealing ring 101 seals the gap between the outer shell 100 and the power box. At the same time, the socket 300 fits against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 100a, preventing water from flowing into the power box through the gap between the mounting cavity 100a and the socket 300. This achieves effective sealing of the mounting gap, preventing water from flowing into the power box through the mounting gap and causing circuit failure, and meeting the outdoor waterproof rating requirements of the power box.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the LED display screen includes a housing and the aforementioned power supply box, with the power supply box disposed within the housing.
