[0024] Embodiment
[0025] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the utility model provides a kind of encrypted industrial ethernet switch, including ethernet switch body 1 and multiple plug interfaces 11 being set on ethernet switch body 1, the upper surface of ethernet switch body 1 is fixedly connected with a pair of positioning clamping block 14, a pair of positioning slot 26 that tightly connects after clamping positioning clamping block 14 is opened in protective cover 2, positioning slot 26 is used to install and fix positioning clamping block 14, to ensure the accuracy of the position or direction of protective cover 2.The inside of plug interface 11 is all inserted with plug 12, plug 12 is usually RJ45 connector.RJ45 is a kind of standard network interface type, commonly used in local area network (LAN) connection, especially in the connection between ethernet switch, router, computer, server and other network devices.The end of plug 12 away from plug interface 11 is all fixedly connected with connecting line 13, further including: protective cover 2 for covering plug interface 11 is set on one side of ethernet switch body 1, protective cover 2 is opened with the installation clamping groove 22 that clamps ethernet switch body 1;First lock mechanism is set on protective cover 2 and clamps corresponding plug 12 to avoid from plug interface 11 out;Second lock mechanism is set in the inside of one end of protective cover 2 so that plug 12 is out from corresponding plug interface 11.
[0026] Further, first lock mechanism includes multiple through insertion hole 21 being opened in protective cover 2 corresponding with plug 12, protective cover 2 is located above through insertion hole 21 and is all equipped with sub-turn tongue lock 25, sub-turn tongue lock 25 includes the first lock tongue of rotating and clamping plug 12 and out corresponding plug interface 11.
[0027] Furthermore, the second locking mechanism includes a rotating chamber 23 located inside one end of the protective cover 2. The rotating chamber 23 contains a main rotary latch lock 24. The rotary latch lock 25 and the main rotary latch lock 24 together form a rotary latch lock. A rotary latch lock (also called a rotating latch lock) is a common mechanical lock, mainly used for security protection of doors, cabinets, vehicles, windows, and other facilities. Its basic principle is that the rotating latch (locking tongue) engages with the door frame or a slot on the door frame within the lock body to achieve a locking effect. A mounting block 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the Ethernet switch body 1 near the connector 11. The mounting block 3 has mounting screws 31 for quick installation and removal from the Ethernet switch body 1. An L-shaped locking block 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting block 3. The rotating chamber 23 includes a second locking tongue that is locked by the L-shaped locking block 32 after rotation.
[0028] In this embodiment, when an encrypted industrial Ethernet switch is required, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting slot 22 on the protective cover 2 secures the Ethernet switch body 1, while the pair of positioning notches 26 on the protective cover 2 engage with the corresponding positioning blocks 14, thus blocking the connector 11. Then, a key can be inserted into the main rotary lock 24. Turning the key rotates the second latch on the main rotary lock 24, eventually locking it in place by the L-shaped block 32 on the top of the mounting block 3. Next, the corresponding connector 12 is inserted into the corresponding connector 11. The key is then inserted into the secondary rotary lock 25 and turned. The first latch on the secondary rotary lock 25 rotates to lock the connector 12, preventing it from detaching from the connector 11. This ensures that only the key holding the secondary rotary lock 25 can open the secondary rotary lock 25 on the corresponding connector 12. When it is necessary to remove all the connectors 12 from the socket 11, after opening the main rotary latch lock 24, pull all the connectors 12 out of the socket 11, and at the same time, disengage the corresponding connectors 12 from the gap between the first latch on the sub-rotary latch lock 25 and the through-hole 21. It is convenient and quick.
