Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Ethernet optical switch technology, and in particular to an industrial-grade Ethernet optical switch. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, the demand for communication between industrial field devices is increasing. Although traditional fieldbus technology meets the needs of industrial communication to a certain extent, it suffers from problems such as low communication speed and poor compatibility. Ethernet technology, with its advantages of high speed, high reliability, ease of networking, and good compatibility, has gradually been widely used in the industrial field. Industrial Ethernet technology, while maintaining the basic characteristics of Ethernet, has been improved and optimized in terms of real-time performance, reliability, and security to meet the special requirements of the industrial environment. Industrial-grade Ethernet optical switches use optical modules as transceivers of optical signals and transmit data through optical fibers, which can effectively solve problems such as electromagnetic interference and limited transmission distance in industrial fields, ensuring the stability and reliability of data transmission.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN201720665507.8 discloses an industrial-grade Ethernet optical switch. The key technical point of the present invention is that it is equipped with an electrostatic suppression device. Through the cavity characteristics of the molecular material, when the electrostatic voltage exceeds the trigger voltage of the device, the internal molecules can quickly generate tip-to-tip discharge. The static electricity is discharged to the ground instantly by the internal contact wire. It can still work stably under electrostatic discharge conditions and play an electrostatic protection role.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: when users are not using the switch's ports, because the ports are stored in warehouses or exposed to the outside, dust and foreign objects are easily allowed to enter the ports. The usual protective covers are disposable products and are easily lost. The new protective shell ensures that the ports remain connected when in use, and dust protection can be installed at any time when the ports are not in use, improving the stability and convenience of the switch body, while also reducing the risk of equipment failure caused by improper port protection. Therefore, an industrial-grade Ethernet optical switch is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that in the prior art, when users are not using the switch body's ports, because the ports are placed in a warehouse or exposed to the outside, dust and foreign objects are easily invaded into the ports. The usual protective covers are disposable products and are easily lost. The new protective shell ensures that the ports remain connected when in use, and can be installed to prevent dust when the ports are not in use. This improves the stability and convenience of the switch body, and also reduces the disadvantages of improper port protection. Therefore, an industrial-grade Ethernet optical switch is proposed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an industrial-grade Ethernet optical switch, comprising a switch body, an external plug installed on one side of the switch body, a socket installed on one side of the switch body, a protective device provided on the surface of the socket, the protective device comprising a protective shell, the protective shell being fixedly connected to the surface of the socket, fixed sliding rods being fixedly connected to both sides of the protective shell, an elliptical carriage being slidably connected to the arc surface of the fixed sliding rods, auxiliary rods being fixedly connected to both sides of the protective shell, a round rod being fixedly connected inside the elliptical carriage, a square block being rotatably connected to the arc surface of the round rod, and a dustproof plate being fixedly connected to one side of the square block.

[0007] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: by setting up protective devices, the ports are protected against dust and blockage, preventing dust and foreign objects from easily entering the ports when they are not in use, as the ports are stored in warehouses or exposed to the elements. Conventional protective covers are disposable products and easily lost. The new protective shell ensures that the ports remain connected during use and can be installed for dust protection at any time when the ports are not in use. This improves the stability and convenience of the switch body and reduces the risk of equipment failure caused by improper port protection, thereby enhancing the overall safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0008] Preferably, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the side of the dustproof plate near the protective shell, and the sealing gasket is made of rubber.

[0009] The effect achieved by the above components is to increase the sealing of the protective shell by setting a sealing gasket, thereby further reducing the amount of dust entering the socket.

[0010] Preferably, a rod is slidably inserted into the elliptical carriage, one end of the rod is fixedly connected to an elliptical plate, and the arc surface of the rod is slidably connected to the elliptical plate.

[0011] The effect achieved by the above components is to limit the dustproof plate when it is in use, prevent the dustproof plate from rotating during use, and ensure that the dustproof plate is always stably in the same position.

[0012] Preferably, a long frame is fixedly connected to the side of the elliptical carriage away from the protective shell, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to one side of the long frame, and a stop is rotatably connected to the arc surface of the rotating rod.

[0013] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the dust cover is not in use, it rotates to one side of the protective shell, thereby limiting the position of the dust cover.

[0014] Preferably, the surface of the switch body is provided with a limiting device, the limiting device includes two fixing brackets, both of which are fixedly connected to the surface of the switch body, a limiting rod is slidably connected inside the fixing bracket, a round block is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod, two insertion blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the external plug, and a top block is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod away from the round block.

[0015] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is as follows: by setting a limiting device, the external plug is limited when the operator inserts it into the switch body, which prevents the external plug from falling off due to accidental contact by the operator. This would prevent the operator from noticing the problem in time, making it difficult to make the correct judgment, and indirectly leading to a decrease in production efficiency and unnecessary losses.

[0016] Preferably, a positioning rod is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame, and a lifting frame is slidably connected to the arc surface of the positioning rod.

[0017] The effect achieved by the above components is that when it is necessary to remove the external plug, the lifting frame blocks the sliding of the limit rod, thereby facilitating the removal of the external plug.

[0018] Preferably, two drive blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the switch body, and drive rods are fixedly connected to the sides of the drive blocks that are far apart from each other. Protective covers are rotatably connected to the arc surfaces of the two drive rods.

[0019] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is to prevent water stains from entering the external plug and damaging the electronic components by setting up a protective cover.

[0020] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a protective device, the effect of preventing dust and blockage of the socket is achieved. This avoids the situation where dust and foreign objects can easily enter the socket when the user is not using the socket of the switch body, because the socket is placed in a warehouse or exposed to the outside. Ordinary protective covers are disposable products and are easy to lose. The new protective shell ensures that the socket remains connected when in use. When the socket is not in use, dust prevention can be installed at any time, which improves the stability and convenience of the switch body. At the same time, it also reduces the risk of equipment failure caused by improper socket protection, thereby improving the overall safety and reliability of equipment use.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, by setting a limiting device, the external plug is limited when the operator inserts it into the switch body, thus preventing the external plug from falling off due to accidental contact by the operator. This would prevent the operator from noticing the problem in time, making it difficult to make the correct judgment, and indirectly leading to a decrease in production efficiency and unnecessary losses.

[0031] Reference Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an industrial-grade Ethernet optical switch, including a switch body 1, an external plug 2 installed on one side of the switch body 1, and a socket 3 installed on one side of the switch body 1. The surface of the socket 3 is provided with a protective device 4. By setting the protective device 4, the socket 3 is protected against dust and blockage. This avoids the problem of dust and foreign objects easily entering the socket 3 when the user is not using the socket 3, as the socket 3 is placed in a warehouse or exposed to the outside. Ordinary protective covers are disposable products and are easily lost. The new protective shell 401 ensures that the socket 3 remains connected when in use, and can be installed for dust protection at any time when the socket 3 is not in use. This improves the stability and convenience of the switch body 1, and also reduces the risk of equipment failure caused by improper protection of the socket 3, thereby improving the overall safety and reliability of the equipment. The surface of the switch body 1 is equipped with a limiting device 5. By setting the limiting device 5, the external plug 2 is limited when the operator inserts it into the switch body 1. This prevents the external plug 2 from falling off due to accidental contact by the operator, which would prevent the operator from noticing the problem in time and making the correct judgment, thus indirectly leading to a decrease in production efficiency and causing unnecessary losses.

[0032] The specific design and function of its protective device 4 and limiting device 5 will be explained below.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: the protective device 4 includes a protective shell 401, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the socket 3. Fixed sliding rods 402 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective shell 401. An elliptical carriage 403 is slidably connected to the arc surface of the fixed sliding rods 402. Auxiliary rods 404 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective shell 401. A round rod 406 is fixedly connected inside the elliptical carriage 403. A square block 405 is rotatably connected to the arc surface of the round rod 406. A dustproof plate 407 is fixedly connected to one side of the square block 405. A sealing gasket 408, made of rubber, is fixedly connected to the side of the dustproof plate 407 closest to the protective shell 401. The sealing gasket 408 increases the sealing performance of the protective shell 401, further reducing dust entry into the socket 3. A rod 410 is slidably inserted inside the elliptical carriage 403. An elliptical plate 409 is fixedly connected to one end of the rod 410. The arc surface of the round rod 406 is slidably connected to the elliptical plate 409. When the dust cover 407 is in use, it is limited to prevent rotation and ensure that it remains stably in the same position. A long frame 411 is fixedly connected to the side of the elliptical carriage 403 away from the protective shell 401. A rotating rod 412 is fixedly connected to one side of the long frame 411, and a stop block 413 is rotatably connected to the arc surface of the rotating rod 412. When the dust cover 407 is not in use, it is rotated to one side of the protective shell 401, thus limiting its position.

[0034] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the limiting device 5 includes two fixed brackets 501, both of which are fixedly connected to the surface of the switch body 1. A limiting rod 502 is slidably connected inside the fixed bracket 501. A circular block 503 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod 502. Two insertion blocks 504 are fixedly connected to the surface of the external plug 2. A top block 505 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 502 away from the circular block 503. A positioning rod 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed bracket 501. A lifting frame 507 is slidably connected to the arc surface of the positioning rod 506. When it is necessary to remove the external plug 2, the lifting frame 507 blocks the sliding of the limiting rod 502, thus facilitating the removal of the external plug 2. Two driving blocks 508 are fixedly connected to the surface of the switch body 1. A driving rod 509 is fixedly connected to the side of the driving blocks 508 that is away from each other. A protective cover 510 is rotatably connected to the arc surfaces of the two driving rods 509. By setting the protective cover 510, water stains are prevented from entering the external plug 2 and damaging the electronic components.

[0035] Working principle: When the operator needs to use the protective device 4 of the switch body 1 to protect the port 3, firstly, rotate the stop block 413 so that the stop block 413 rotates on the arc surface of the rotating rod 412 until it no longer obstructs the dustproof plate 407. Then, rotate the dustproof plate 407 to drive the square block 405 to rotate 270 degrees on the arc surface of the round rod 406 until the sealing gasket 408 on one side of the dustproof plate 407 contacts the protective shell 401. Then, pull the elliptical plate 409 downward so that the elliptical plate 409 slides on the arc surface of the round rod 406, driving the plug rod 410 into the round hole of the dustproof plate 407, thus protecting the dustproof plate 407 and the square block. 405 is used for limiting. When the staff does not need to use the protective device 4, the elliptical plate 409 is pulled up so that the elliptical plate 409 slides on the arc surface of the round rod 406. When the insertion rod 410 is disengaged from the round hole of the dustproof plate 407, the dustproof plate 407 and the square block 405 are not limited. Then the dustproof plate 407 is rotated so that the square block 405 rotates 270 degrees on the arc surface of the round rod 406 until one side of the dustproof plate 407 contacts the other side of the elliptical carriage 403. Then the stop block 413 is rotated so that the stop block 413 rotates on the arc surface of the rotating rod 412 until it blocks the dustproof plate 407, thus completing the retraction of the protective plate 407.

[0036] When the staff needs to connect the power supply of the external plug 2, they first insert the external plug 2 into the switch body 1. Since the insertion blocks 504 on both sides of the external plug 2 are in contact with the top block 505 at one end of the limiting rod 502, the limiting rod 502 is pushed to slide within the fixed frame 501. When it is pushed to a certain extent, the insertion blocks 504 and the limiting rod 502 are no longer in contact, thus blocking the external plug 2 from moving outward. When the external plug 2 needs to be removed, the circular block 503 is pulled to move the limiting rod 502. When the lifting frame 507 slides on the arc surface of the positioning rod 506 and automatically falls to block the top block 505 and the limiting rod 52 from moving, the external plug 2 can be pulled out. When the protective cover 510 needs to be used, the protective cover 510 is rotated on the arc surface of the drive rod 509 to protect the external plug 2.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
