[0026] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0027] Example 1.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a network port communication adapter, which includes a housing 1, a first mating mounting plate 2 disposed at one end of the housing 1, a second mating mounting plate 3 disposed at the other end of the housing 1, and a circuit board 19 installed inside the housing 1. A insertion hole 4 is recessed in the middle of one end of the housing 1, and a crystal head socket 5 electrically connected to the circuit board 19 is embedded in the insertion hole 4. A mounting structure 6 is provided at the other end of the housing 1, and a crystal head 7 electrically connected to the circuit board 19 is mounted on the mounting structure 6. A cable pass-through hole 8 is opened in the middle of the side wall of the housing 1, through which the circuit board 19 is electrically connected. The wire, which can be a power cord or a signal cord, passes through the wire hole 8. The outer end of the crystal head 7 extends out of the mounting structure 6. The mounting structure 6 includes a mounting cavity 9 integrally formed from the end of the outer shell 1 away from the insertion hole 4, two elastic hooks 10 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting cavity 9, and a limiting step 11 set in the mounting cavity 9. The middle part of the end of the outer shell 1 away from the insertion hole 4 has a through hole 12 communicating with the mounting cavity 9. The crystal head 7 is installed in the mounting cavity 9. The two elastic hooks 10 support the inner end face of the crystal head 7. The step of the crystal head 7 abuts against the limiting step 11.
[0029] In actual use, the port of device one is inserted into the insertion hole 4 and electrically connected to the crystal head socket 5, the crystal head 7 is inserted into the socket of device two and electrically connected, and the wire is electrically connected to device three. After the crystal head 7 is installed in the mounting structure 6, the limiting step 11 and two elastic hooks 10 limit the crystal head 7 in the mounting cavity 9, so that the crystal head 7 will not be pressed into the outer shell 1 or pulled out of the mounting cavity 9 when plugging and unplugging, thus improving the installation firmness and usage stability of the crystal head 7. This utility model uses the mounting structure 6 to firmly install the crystal head 7 onto the outer shell 1, resulting in good stability of the crystal head 7, resistance to damage, and a long service life.
[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting structure 6 is located inside the outer casing 1. This structural design makes the network communication adapter compact and aesthetically pleasing.
[0031] In this embodiment, the inner side of the hook portion of the elastic hook 10 is provided with a guide slope 13, and the crystal head 7 is clamped between the two elastic hooks 10. When the crystal head 7 is installed in the mounting cavity 9 of the mounting structure 6, a force is applied to the crystal head 7, causing the crystal head 7 to be pushed into the mounting cavity 9 from the inside out. The crystal head 7 will squeeze the guide slope 13 of the two elastic hooks 10, causing the two elastic hooks 10 to gradually open until the outer end of the crystal head 7 extends out of the through hole 12, and the step of the crystal head 7 abuts against the limiting step 11. At this time, it is confirmed that the crystal head 7 is completely installed in the mounting cavity 9 and installed in place. At this time, the two elastic hooks 10 return to their original shape under the action of the rebound force. The hook portion of the two elastic hooks 10 supports the inner end face of the crystal head 7, and the two elastic hooks 10 elastically clamp the crystal head 7 to limit the crystal head 7 in the mounting cavity 9. This structural design not only facilitates the installation of the crystal head 7 in the mounting structure 6, but also makes the assembly of the crystal head 7 and the mounting structure 6 firm.
[0032] In this embodiment, both the first docking mounting plate 2 and the second docking mounting plate 3 are provided with locking holes 14. In practical applications, screws pass through the locking holes 14 and are threadedly connected to external equipment to fix the first docking mounting plate 2 or the second docking mounting plate 3 to the external equipment.
[0033] In this embodiment, both the first docking mounting plate 2 and the second docking mounting plate 3 have waterproof gasket mounting holes 15. In practical applications, the mounting post of the waterproof gasket is inserted into the waterproof gasket mounting hole 15 to install the waterproof gasket on the side of the first docking mounting plate 2 or the second docking mounting plate 3. When the first docking mounting plate 2 or the second docking mounting plate 3 is fixed to an external device, the waterproof gasket can seal the gap between the first docking mounting plate 2 or the second docking mounting plate 3 and the external device, thereby achieving a sealing and waterproofing function.
[0034] In this embodiment, the outer shell 1 includes a first shell 16 and a second shell 17 that is fitted and spliced with the first shell 16. The first shell 16 and the second shell 17 form a cavity, and the circuit board 19 is located within the cavity. The first mating mounting plate 2 is integrally formed with the end of the first shell 16 away from the second shell 17, and the second mating mounting plate 3 is integrally formed with the end of the second shell 17 away from the first shell 16. The mounting structure 6 is located in the first shell 16, and the insertion hole 4 is located in the second shell 17. This structural design enables modular assembly of the outer shell 1, facilitating manufacturing and maintenance.
[0035] In this embodiment, a gripping part 18 is provided on the side wall of the second housing 17. The gripping part 18 allows the operator to grip the second housing 17, making it easier to hold the network port communication adapter and also facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the first housing 16 and the second housing 17.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first housing 16 and the second housing 17 are sealed together via a sealing ring. The sealing ring is used to seal the gap between the first housing 16 and the second housing 17, thus providing a waterproof seal.
[0037] Specifically, a waterproof elbow is provided between the outer wall of the wire and the wall of the wire hole 8.
[0038] Example 2.
[0039] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the mounting structure 6 extends beyond the outer casing 1. This structural design increases the length of the network communication adapter, facilitating its connection to external devices.
[0040] In this embodiment, a guide slope 13 is provided on the inner side of the hook portion of the elastic hook 10, and the crystal head 7 is located outside the two elastic hooks 10. When the crystal head 7 is installed on the mounting structure 6, a force is applied to the crystal head 7, causing the crystal head 7 to be inserted into the mounting cavity 9 from the inside out. During this process, the crystal head 7 will move between the two elastic hooks 10 and squeeze the guide slope 13 of the elastic hooks 10, causing the two elastic hooks 10 to gradually open until the crystal head 7 is completely moved into the mounting cavity 9, and the outer end of the crystal head 7 extends out of the mounting cavity 9. The step of the crystal head 7 abuts against the limiting step 11, proving that the crystal head 7 is installed in place. At this time, the two elastic hooks 10 return to their original shape under the action of the rebound force. The hook portion of the two elastic hooks 10 supports the inner end face of the crystal head 7, and the limiting step 11 and the two elastic hooks 10 cooperate to fix the crystal head 7.
[0041] The remaining structure of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.
[0042] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0043] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
