Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network cables, specifically to an industrial camera network cable. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation and intelligence, industrial cameras, as core components of machine vision systems, have a wide range of applications, including but not limited to robot vision, positioning and inspection, product defect detection, 3D scanning, barcode recognition, intelligent transportation, iris recognition, and many other fields, playing a crucial role. The industrial camera network cable, as a key component connecting the industrial camera to the data processing system, directly impacts the operational efficiency and accuracy of the entire machine vision system through its performance stability and data transmission efficiency.
[0003] Existing industrial camera network cables typically employ a multi-layered structure, including an inner conductor, an insulation layer, a shielding layer, and a sheath. The inner conductor transmits current or signals, the insulation layer isolates the inner conductor from the external environment, the shielding layer reduces electromagnetic interference, and the sheath protects the internal structure and enhances durability. The two ends of the network cable are equipped with RJ45 connectors and crystal heads, facilitating easy conversion and connection.
[0004] However, although existing industrial camera network cables meet the needs of industrial applications to a certain extent, there are still some defects and shortcomings in actual use. The RJ45 connectors used in existing industrial camera network cables usually have plastic springs to improve the stability of the connection. The existing plastic springs are generally directly angled and exposed, or have a push button on the RJ45 connector to facilitate the insertion and removal of the plastic springs. However, of these two methods, the simple angled extension of the springs is very inconvenient for inserting and removing the network cable, and it is easy to jam the network port when removing the network cable. The push button for the springs increases the manufacturing process of the button, thereby increasing the production and usage costs, and the connection structure is unstable, affecting the connection and use. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned defects and provide an industrial camera network cable to address the technical problems in the background art, such as the complex production and assembly of the spring structure of the crystal head of the industrial camera network cable, which increases production costs, and the unstable connection structure, which affects its use.
[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:
[0007] An industrial camera network cable includes a connector and an RJ45 head. The connector and the RJ45 head are connected via a network cable. One end of the RJ45 head has a plug end with a snap-fit spring for engaging the network port. One end of the snap-fit spring extends toward the network cable and is bent to form a limiting bend. The end of the limiting bend extends away from the plug end and toward the network cable. The middle of the limiting bend forms a snap-fit portion, with the end of the snap-fit portion extending toward the upper surface of the RJ45 head. The RJ45 head has a limiting protrusion with a snap-fit groove for mating the snap-fit portion. A snap-fit protrusion is formed within the snap-fit groove. The end of the snap-fit portion away from the limiting bend extends toward the snap-fit groove and abuts against the snap-fit protrusion.
[0008] Furthermore, as described above, one end of the snap-fit spring is connected to the end of the plug-in end, and the other end of the snap-fit spring extends obliquely and is connected to the limiting bending part. The snap-fit spring can improve the stability of the connection when plugged into an external network port.
[0009] Furthermore, as described above, one end of the limiting bend extends obliquely away from the snap-fit spring, and a pressing part is formed at the bend between the limiting bend and the snap-fit part. A protruding contact part is formed on the outer surface of the pressing part, and an anti-slip groove is provided on the surface of the contact part. By forming the limiting bend and extending it to form the pressing part, the insertion and removal of the connector can be facilitated by pressing the pressing part, thus improving the stability and reliability of the connection with the network port during insertion and removal. The contact part on the pressing part enhances the insertion and removal effect and facilitates pressing.
[0010] Furthermore, as described above, the limiting protrusion is formed on the upper surface of the crystal head, the buckling groove is adapted to the buckling part, and the buckling part can be adjusted along the buckling groove.
[0011] Furthermore, as described above, the snap-fit spring, the limiting bending part, the pressing part, and the buckle part are integrally formed. This integral forming allows them to be molded onto the snap-fit spring, improving production efficiency and reducing the use of external buttons, thus saving costs.
[0012] Furthermore, as described above, the side of the RJ45 connector connects to one end of a network cable via a connector terminal, and the other end of the network cable connects to a connector. This connector and RJ45 connector facilitate connection to industrial cameras.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a snap-fit spring on the plug end of the crystal head, and setting a limiting bend and a snap-fit part on the snap-fit spring, the limiting bend part can facilitate the user's plugging and unplugging, and reduce the setting of external pressing parts. This allows the network cable to make full use of space when connecting, reducing interference with surrounding equipment. The formed limiting bend part can reduce the production of external pressing parts, improve production efficiency and save costs, and realize a simple and quick connection between the network cable and the external network port. The snap-fit part matches the snap-fit groove on the limiting protrusion, and the abutment between the snap-fit part and the snap-fit protrusion improves the stability and reliability of installation and use, effectively preventing the network cable from accidentally falling off during use, and making it convenient to use.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-5The present invention relates to an industrial camera network cable, comprising a connector 1 and an RJ45 connector 2. The side of the RJ45 connector 2 is connected to one end of a network cable 3 via a connecting end, and the other end of the network cable 3 is connected to the connector 1. One end of the RJ45 connector 2 has a plug end 4, and the plug end 4 is provided with a snap-fit spring 5 for snapping the network port. One end of the snap-fit spring 5 extends toward the network cable 3 and is bent to form a limiting bend 6. The end of the limiting bend 6 is away from the plug end 4 and extends toward the network cable 3. The middle part of the limiting bend 6 is bent to form a snap-fit part 7. The end of the snap-fit part 7 extends toward the upper surface of the RJ45 connector 2. The RJ45 connector 2 is provided with a limiting protrusion 8, and the limiting protrusion 8 has a snap-fit groove 9 for mating with the snap-fit part 7. A snap-fit protrusion 10 is formed in the snap-fit groove 9. The end of the snap-fit part 7 away from the limiting bend 6 extends toward the snap-fit groove 9 and abuts against the snap-fit protrusion 10.
[0022] In this embodiment, one end of the snap-fit spring 5 is connected to the end of the plug-in end 4, and the other end of the snap-fit spring 5 extends obliquely and is connected to the limiting bending part 6. The snap-fit spring 5 can improve the stability of the connection when plugged into the external network port.
[0023] The limiting bend 6 extends obliquely away from the end of the snap-fit spring 5. A pressing part 11 is formed at the bend between the limiting bend 6 and the snap-fit part 7. A protruding contact part 12 is formed on the outer surface of the pressing part 11, and an anti-slip groove 13 is provided on the surface of the contact part 12. By forming the limiting bend 6 and extending the bend to form the pressing part 11, the pressing part 11 can be pressed during insertion and removal, which facilitates the insertion of the plug end 4 into the network port and further improves the stability and reliability of the connection with the network port when it is reset. The contact part 12 on the pressing part 11 improves the insertion and removal effect and facilitates pressing.
[0024] A limiting protrusion 8 is formed on the upper surface of the crystal head 2, and a snap-fit groove 9 is adapted to the snap-fit part 7, allowing the snap-fit part 7 to be adjusted along the snap-fit groove 9. The snap-fit spring 5, the limiting bending part 6, the pressing part 11, and the snap-fit part 7 are integrally formed. By integrally forming them onto the snap-fit spring 5, production efficiency is improved, the use of external buttons is reduced, and costs are saved.
[0025] The specific installation configuration in this embodiment is as follows: The snap-fit spring 5, the limiting bending part 6, the pressing part 11, and the latching part 7 are integrally formed. The snap-fit spring 5 is formed on the insertion end 4, extending outward at an angle and connecting to the limiting bending part 6. The pressing part 11 is formed by the bending of the limiting bending part 6 and the latching part 7. During insertion, pressing the pressing part 11 causes the limiting bending part 6 to push the snap-fit spring 5 down towards the upper surface of the crystal head 2, facilitating the insertion of the crystal head 2's insertion end 4 to the external network port. The latching part 7, under the pressure of the pressing part 11, allows the snap-fit spring 5 to be inserted. The latching part 7 can be adjusted along the latching groove 9, and after being inserted into the external network port, the end of the latching part 7 abuts against the latching protrusion 10, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the crystal head 2 and the external network port, reducing the need for external pressing buttons, allowing the network cable to make full use of space when connected, and the integrated limiting bending part 6 and latching part 7 can reduce the production of external pressing buttons, improve production efficiency and save costs, and realize a simple and quick connection between the network cable and the external network port. The abutment between the latching part 7 and the latching protrusion 10 can effectively prevent the network cable from accidentally falling off during use, making it convenient to use.
