[0032] 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.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-8 The switch port protection structure, installed on switch 1, includes:

[0034] A protective cover 2 is installed on the switch 1, and the protective cover 2 has multiple through holes corresponding to the ports of the switch 1.

[0035] The inner cavity 3 is opened inside the protective cover 2 and communicates with the through hole at the corresponding position. The inner cavity 3 is elastically connected with the sleeve plate 4. The two sleeve plates 4 in each through hole are symmetrical. A first elastic element 8 is provided between the sleeve plate 4 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity 3. The first elastic element 8 in this application can be a spring.

[0036] The lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 are symmetrically arranged in the through hole, and the lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 are respectively connected to the two side sleeve plates 4.

[0037] The lower support plate 5 has a slot 7 inside that is compatible with the upper pressure plate 6.

[0038] In use, the protective cover 2 is installed on the switch 1. When it is necessary to connect the connector of the connecting device to the port of the switch 1, the sleeve 4 in the corresponding through hole on the protective cover 2 can be moved first. This causes the sleeve 4 to move towards the inner cavity 3 and gradually compress the first elastic element 8. That is, the two sleeves 4 in each through hole move away from each other. At the same time, the two sleeves 4 will drive the lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 to move respectively. The upper pressure plate 6 will gradually move out of the slot 7 of the lower support plate 5. That is, the distance between the lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 gradually increases, and finally the through hole of the protective cover 2 is exposed. At this time, the connector of the connecting device can be passed through the through hole of the protective cover 2 and connected to the port on the switch 1. After releasing the sleeve 4, the lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6, the elastic force of the first elastic element 8 will cause the sleeve 4 to reset. The sleeve 4 will drive the lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 to move towards each other and reset. Then, the lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 can clamp the cable of the connecting device. Figures 7-8As shown, the lower support plate 5 and upper pressure plate 6 prevent the ports from being exposed during use, thus protecting them. Furthermore, for ports in an idle state, the upper pressure plate 6 is located in the slot 7 of the lower support plate 5. Therefore, the lower support plate 5 and upper pressure plate 6 can seal off these ports, preventing them from being exposed. This greatly prevents external dust and other foreign objects from entering the ports of switch 1 and accumulating, preventing contamination and damage or corrosion. This effectively ensures the normal operation of switch 1 and extends its service life.

[0039] During use, the connectors of the connecting devices are protected inside the protective cover 2. Simultaneously, the cables of the connecting devices are clamped and pressed by the lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6, which improves the stability of the connection between the connectors of the connecting devices and the ports of switch 1, thus enhancing the connection quality. It also effectively prevents the connectors of the connecting devices from loosening or detaching due to external forces, significantly improving the connection effect between switch 1 and the connecting devices, and demonstrating high practicality.

[0040] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-2 , Figures 4-5 and Figure 8 Both the lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 have arc-shaped holes 9 at their adjacent ends. This design ensures that when the port is in use, the cable connecting the device is positioned within the arc-shaped hole 9, allowing for better cable adaptation and increasing the contact area, thus improving the cable clamping effect. When the port is not in use, the arc-shaped hole 9 of the upper pressure plate 6 is positioned within the slot 7 of the lower support plate 5, thus not affecting the sealing effect of the port.

[0041] Please see Figures 5-6 The inner cavity 3 has a sliding groove 10 on its side wall, and a slider 11 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the sliding groove 10. The slider 11 is connected to the sleeve plate 4. This design allows the sleeve plate 4 to move along the inner cavity 3, causing the slider 11 to slide along the sliding groove 10, thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the sleeve plate 4's movement.

[0042] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 5-6 The sleeve plate 4 has a sliding cavity 12 inside. The lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 are slidably connected to the sliding cavity 12. The side wall of the sliding cavity 12 has a limiting groove 13. The inner wall of the limiting groove 13 is slidably provided with a connecting block 14 connected to the lower support plate 5 or the upper pressure plate 6. A second elastic element 15 is provided between the connecting block 14 and the bottom wall of the limiting groove 13. The second elastic element 15 in this application can be a spring.

[0043] Specifically, when pushing the sleeve 4, the upper pressure plate 6 or the lower support plate 5 can be pushed first, causing the upper pressure plate 6 or the lower support plate 5 to move into the moving cavity 12, and driving the connecting block 14 to move along the limiting groove 13, which will compress the second elastic element 15, and the gap between the upper pressure plate 6 and the lower support plate 5 will gradually open. When the upper pressure plate 6 or the lower support plate 5 moves to the limit position in the moving cavity 12, it will drive the sleeve 4 to move along the inner cavity 3, which will further drive the sleeve 4 to move, thereby further increasing the distance between the upper pressure plate 6 and the lower support plate 5, until the connector of the connecting equipment can be inserted.

[0044] This design has two advantages: First, when the cable connecting the device is clamped by the upper pressure plate 6 and the lower support plate 5, the second elastic element 15 is in a compressed state, while the sleeve plate 4 and the first elastic element 8 are in a natural state. This better protects the first elastic element 8, allowing it to have a better and longer-lasting sealing effect on the port through the sleeve plate 4. Second, by moving the upper pressure plate 6 or the lower support plate 5 into the sleeve plate 4, and simultaneously moving the sleeve plate 4 into the inner cavity 3 of the protective cover 2, the space required for the inner cavity 3 can be reduced, the travel of the sleeve plate 4 can be reduced, and thus the overall design area of ​​the protective cover 2 can be reduced, improving space utilization and resulting in better performance.

[0045] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3 and Figures 7-8 The outer wall of the sleeve plate 4 has a sliding groove 16 that communicates with the inner cavity 3. A push rod 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 16. The lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 are both connected to the push rod 17. The outer wall of the protective cover 2 has a through groove 21 that matches the push rod 17. With this design, the lower support plate 5 or the upper pressure plate 6 can be moved by pushing the push rod 17, which makes the movement more convenient. When the push rod 17 moves to the limit position of the sliding groove 16, it will drive the sleeve plate 4 to move along the inner cavity 3. Finally, the push rod 17 can move through the through groove 21, which can achieve the effect of opening the lower support plate 5 and the upper pressure plate 6 to expose the through hole.

[0046] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figures 3-4 The protective cover 2 is detachably connected to the switch 1, and covers the ports of the switch 1. In use, the protective cover 2 is simply installed onto the switch 1 without damaging its original structure. It also allows for easy installation and removal of the protective cover 2, facilitating subsequent maintenance or replacement, offering high flexibility and good performance.

[0047] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figures 3-4The protective cover 2 is equipped with multiple fixing blocks 18, each with fixing holes 19. The switch 1 has multiple screw holes 20 that mate with the fixing holes 19. This design allows for easy installation of the protective cover 2. Simply align the fixing holes 19 on the fixing blocks 18 with the corresponding screw holes 20 on the switch 1, then pass bolts through the fixing holes 19 and into the screw holes 20 to secure the fixing blocks 18 and the protective cover 2 to the switch 1. Disassembly is similar; simply remove the bolts to remove the protective cover 2 from the switch 1. The operation is simple and convenient.
