Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network connector technology, specifically a network connector with an automatic docking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A network connector is a device used to connect network devices and enable network signal transmission. It ensures a secure physical connection between network cables and guarantees accurate and efficient signal transmission between different devices. For example, in a computer network, a network connector can connect a computer to devices such as switches and routers, allowing data to flow within the network.

[0003] Existing network connectors have the following problems when in use: Existing network connectors are usually equipped with a network transmission mechanism that connects multiple network terminal signal sources and a network transmission mechanism that connects the network terminal device. The connection between the network terminal device and the network terminal signal source is achieved by connecting the two. Since different network terminal signal sources need to be selected according to requirements, frequent disassembly and assembly of the two network transmission mechanisms are required. Due to the lack of an automatic docking mechanism during connection, the disassembly and assembly of the two network transmission mechanisms is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved.

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a network connector with an automatic docking mechanism, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] (ii) Technical solution.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a network connector with an automatic docking mechanism, comprising an installation mechanism, a first network connection mechanism at one end of the installation mechanism, and a second network connection mechanism fixedly installed within the installation mechanism. The installation mechanism includes a fixed frame, with a vertical guide groove on one side at each of the front and rear ends of the fixed frame, and three horizontal guide grooves at equal intervals from top to bottom at one end of each vertical guide groove. The first network connection mechanism includes a first network transmitter, with a connecting connector at the other end of the first network transmitter. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the middle of each of the front and rear ends of the first network transmitter, and a guide slider is fixedly connected to one of the opposite ends of each of the two connecting frames. The second network connection mechanism includes three second network transmitters fixedly installed within the fixed frame at equal intervals from top to bottom. A connecting interface for a matching connecting connector is provided at one end of each second network transmitter, and the two horizontal guide grooves on the front and rear sides of the second network transmitter and their corresponding sides are on the same horizontal plane.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the upper and lower ends of the junction of the horizontal guide groove and the vertical guide groove are provided with arcs, and the other end of the guide slider is provided with an arc.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the first network transmitter has a first network cable interface on each of the front and rear sides at one end, and the second network transmitter has a second network cable interface on each of the front and rear sides at the other end.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a fixed base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame, and an anti-slip rubber block is fixedly connected to one side of each of the front and rear ends of the first network transmitter.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: multiple heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the first network transmitter, and multiple air vents are opened between the two side walls of the heat dissipation fins. A heat-conducting copper frame is fixedly connected between two adjacent second network transmitters, and air vents are opened on the two side walls of the heat-conducting copper frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

The first network transmitter is provided with a connecting connector, and the second network transmitter is provided with a matching connecting interface. The first network transmitter is provided with connecting frames at both ends. Each of the two connecting frames is fixedly connected to a guide slider at one end facing each other. The guide slider is slidably connected in the corresponding guide groove structure of the fixed frame. When the first network transmitter is assembled with any one of the three second network transmitters, due to the guide slider and guide groove structure, the first network transmitter can automatically align with the second network transmitter when pushed. Thus, manual alignment is not required. That is, only the first network transmitter needs to be manually moved to a height that roughly matches the second network transmitter and pushed horizontally to achieve automatic docking with the second network transmitter. The assembly and disassembly are relatively convenient.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the network transmitter is equipped with a passive heat dissipation mechanism, that is, multiple heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the first network transmitter, and air vents are provided in conjunction with the heat dissipation fins to achieve passive and efficient heat dissipation of the first network transmitter. The two adjacent second network transmitters are connected by a thermally conductive copper frame, and air vents are provided on both sides of the thermally conductive copper frame to assist the second network transmitters in achieving efficient passive heat dissipation.

The first network connection mechanism 3 includes a first network transmitter 31. A connector 37 is provided at the other end of the first network transmitter 31. A connecting frame 35 is fixedly connected to the middle of each of the front and rear ends of the first network transmitter 31. A guide slider 36 is fixedly connected to the opposite end of each of the two connecting frames 35. The second network connection mechanism 2 includes three second network transmitters 21 fixedly installed at equal intervals from top to bottom within the fixed frame 11. A connection interface 22 of the matching connector 37 is provided at one end of each second network transmitter 21. The two network transmitters 21 and their corresponding front and rear horizontal guide slots 14 are set on the same horizontal plane and are equipped with an automatic docking mechanism. The first network transmitter 31 is equipped with a connecting joint 37, and the second network transmitter 21 is equipped with a matching connecting interface 22. The first network transmitter 31 is equipped with connecting brackets 35 at both ends. Each of the two connecting brackets 35 is fixedly connected to a guide slider 36 at one end facing each other. The guide sliders 36 are slidably connected in the corresponding guide slot structure of the fixed frame 11. When the first network transmitter 31 is assembled with any one of the three second network transmitters 21, due to the guide sliders 36 and the guide slot structure, the first network transmitter 31 can be automatically aligned when pushed towards the second network transmitter 21. Thus, manual alignment is not required. That is, only the first network transmitter 31 needs to be moved manually to roughly match the height of the second network transmitter 21 and pushed horizontally to achieve automatic docking with the second network transmitter 21. The assembly and disassembly are relatively convenient.

[0025] The horizontal guide groove 14 and the vertical guide groove 12 are connected at both ends with arcs, and the other end of the guide slider 36 is also arced, which facilitates the guide slider 36 to enter quickly when it is at approximately the same height as the horizontal guide groove 14.

[0026] The first network transmitter 31 has a first network cable interface 38 on each of its front and rear sides at one end, and the second network transmitter 21 has a second network cable interface 23 on each of its front and rear sides at the other end. Different network terminal signal sources can be connected through the network cable interfaces of the three second network transmitters 21 via network cables, and network terminal devices can be connected through the network cable interfaces of the first network transmitter 31.

[0027] A fixed base 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 11, and a handle 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 11. The fixed frame 11 can be moved by holding the handle 13. An anti-slip rubber block 34 is fixedly connected to each side of the front and rear ends of the first network transmitter 31. The first network transmitter 31 can be moved by squeezing the anti-slip rubber blocks 34 on the front and rear sides.

[0028] The first network transmitter 31 has multiple heat dissipation fins 32 fixedly connected to its upper and lower ends.

A thermally conductive copper frame 24 is fixedly connected between two adjacent second network transmitters 21. Air vents 25 are provided on the two side walls of the thermally conductive copper frame 24 to assist the second network transmitters 21 in achieving efficient passive heat dissipation.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: different network terminal signal sources can be connected via network cables through the network cable interfaces of the three second network transmitters 21, and network terminal devices can be connected via the network cable interface of the first network transmitter 31. The upper and lower ends of the junction between the horizontal guide groove 14 and the vertical guide groove 12 are curved, and the other end of the guide slider 36 is also curved, facilitating the rapid entry of the guide slider 36 when it is approximately at the same height as the horizontal guide groove 14. An automatic docking mechanism is provided throughout; that is, the first network transmitter 31 is provided with a connecting connector 37, and its second network transmitters 21 are provided with matching connecting interfaces 22. The first network transmitter 31 has two... The end is provided with a connecting frame 35, and each of the two connecting frames 35 is fixedly connected to a guide slider 36 at one end facing each other. The guide slider 36 is slidably connected in the corresponding guide groove structure of the fixed frame 11. When the first network transmitter 31 is assembled with any one of the three second network transmitters 21, due to the guide slider 36 and the guide groove structure, the first network transmitter 31 can be automatically aligned with the second network transmitter 21 when pushed. Thus, no manual alignment is required. That is, only the first network transmitter 31 needs to be moved manually to roughly match the height of the second network transmitter 21 and pushed horizontally to achieve automatic docking with the second network transmitter 21. The assembly and disassembly are relatively convenient.
