Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network cable technology, and in particular to a network cable that is easy to plug and unplug. Background Technology

[0002] A network cable is a cable used to connect devices to enable data transmission. It is made of metal or plastic and contains multiple insulated conductors. Common types include twisted-pair cables, coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables. In home settings, network cables can be used to connect devices such as computers, smart TVs, and routers, allowing users to browse the internet smoothly, watch online videos, and play online games. In office environments and data centers, network cables play a crucial role in connecting devices such as servers, switches, and workstations, ensuring high-speed and stable data transmission within the local area network and supporting business operations such as office work, data storage, and processing.

[0003] A typical plug-and-play network cable includes an RJ-45 connector, eight copper wires, insulation, and a sheath. The RJ-45 connector is the key component, containing eight metal contacts that correspond one-to-one with the eight wires in the network cable. During plugging and unplugging, the elastic metal contacts inside the connector ensure a tight contact with the socket, forming a stable electrical connection. Its working principle, through the arrangement of the wires and the design of the connector, ensures stable signal transmission and convenient, quick plugging and unplugging.

[0004] In existing technologies, when subjected to external forces, it is difficult to ensure the stable connection between the network cable and the socket by relying on a single elastic metal sheet. This makes the network cable and the socket prone to loosening or disconnection due to external forces, resulting in signal transmission interruption and unstable network connection.

[0005] Therefore, to address the above problems, a network cable that is easy to plug and unplug is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a network cable that is easy to plug and unplug, aiming to improve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to ensure the stable connection between the network cable and the socket when subjected to external force by relying on a single elastic metal sheet.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A network cable that is easy to plug and unplug includes a lower shell, an upper shell detachably connected to the top of the lower shell, a working mechanism inside the lower shell, a locking mechanism on the top of the upper shell, and a cable fixing mechanism on the top of the upper shell.

[0009] The locking mechanism includes a fixed ring, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the top of the upper shell, a rotating ring rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed ring, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating ring, a reset component provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft, a transmission component rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, and a stop block fixedly connected to the output end of the transmission component.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The reset assembly includes a torsion spring and a limiting post. The inner side of the torsion spring is sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the rotating shaft. Both ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the limiting post. The top of the upper limiting post is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing ring, and the bottom of the lower limiting post is fixedly connected to the upper side of the bottom of the rotating shaft.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The transmission assembly includes rotating rods, with one end of two rotating rods rotatably connected to the bottom of a rotating shaft, and the other end of each rotating rod rotatably connected to a transmission rod. The outer side of the abutment is fixedly connected to the other end of the transmission rod.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The upper shell has a movable groove inside, and the rotating shaft, rotating rod, transmission rod, and abutment all move inside the movable groove;

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The working mechanism includes a wire housing, the outer side of which is disposed inside the lower housing. An inner core is disposed inside the wire housing. A distribution box is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the lower housing. A through plate is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the lower housing. Multiple docking blocks are fixedly connected inside the lower housing. A transmission plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of each docking block. A docking plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of each transmission plate. The end of the inner core passes through the distribution box and the through plate and connects to the docking blocks.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The wire securing mechanism includes a set screw, the outer side of which is threaded to the top of the upper shell, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the set screw, a compression ring is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft, an inlet plate is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the lower shell, and a wire harness plate is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the lower shell.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The top of the compression ring is slidably connected to the inner side of the wire harness plate via a connecting post, and the outer side of the set screw is threadedly connected to the top of the wire harness plate.

[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] The lower shell has a docking groove at the front end, streamline grooves on both sides, and a snap-fit ​​spring piece at the bottom.

[0024] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. In this utility model, the rotating shaft drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn converts the transmission rod into a horizontal sliding motion within the movable groove, causing the stop block to retract inward. Simultaneously, the limit post on the rotating shaft rotates, causing the torsion spring to deform. At this time, the network cable can be inserted into the interface. After the network cable is connected, the deformation of the torsion spring returns, causing the rotating shaft to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating rod causes the transmission rod to move linearly, and the stop block resets and presses against the network cable interface to achieve fixation. When removing the network cable, the above operation is repeated to retract the stop block, allowing the network cable to be easily removed from the interface. This achieves quick plugging and unplugging of the network cable, thereby improving the efficiency of connecting and replacing network devices and ensuring that the connection between the network cable and the socket remains stable under external force, thus improving the signal transmission effect.

[0026] 2. In this utility model, the initial installation is completed by connecting the wire shell to the inside of the lower shell through the connector plate. Then, the set screw is rotated, and the set screw rotates to move downward from the top of the upper shell. Under the restriction of the connecting column, the compression ring moves downward synchronously. The downward movement of the compression ring generates a compression effect, which fixes the wire shell and avoids the internal core from shaking due to external force during use, thus ensuring the signal transmission effect.

[0035] 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.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of an easy-to-plug network cable, comprising a lower shell 1, with an upper shell 2 detachably connected to the top of the lower shell 1. This detachable connection design makes assembly and maintenance of the network cable more convenient, allowing users to easily disassemble and replace internal components. The lower shell 1 contains a working mechanism 3, which is the core component for data transmission, ensuring efficient signal transmission. The top of the upper shell 2 has a locking mechanism 4, facilitating connection between the network cable and its interface, thus making it easy for users to plug and unplug the network cable. The top of the upper shell 2 also has a cable-fixing mechanism 5, which effectively secures the network cable and prevents it from loosening due to pulling during use. The front end of the lower shell 1 has a docking groove 6, which allows the network cable to quickly connect to other devices, improving connection convenience. Both sides of the lower shell 1 have flow grooves 7, which effectively dissipate heat and prevent the network cable from overheating and affecting performance during prolonged use. The bottom of the lower shell 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​spring 8. The design of the snap-fit ​​spring 8 allows the network cable to be firmly snapped into the device, preventing the network cable from accidentally falling off during use.

[0037] The working mechanism 3 includes a cable housing 301, the outer side of which is located inside the lower housing 1. The cable housing 301 serves to protect and secure the internal wires. Inside the cable housing 301 is an inner core 302, which ensures the stability and efficiency of data transmission. A distribution box 303 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the lower housing 1. The distribution box 303 separates multiple cables in the network cable, avoiding signal interference and improving transmission quality. A cable guide plate 304 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the lower housing 1. The design of the cable guide plate 304 allows the cables to be arranged in an orderly manner, reducing friction and interference between cables. Multiple mating blocks 305 are fixedly connected inside the lower housing 1. A transmission plate 306 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each mating block 305. The mating blocks 305 connect the inner core 302 to the transmission plate 306, ensuring smooth signal transmission. The transmission plate 306 is used for signal transmission. A docking plate 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission board 306. The function of the docking plate 307 is to transmit signals to external devices and ensure a stable and reliable connection between the network cable and other devices. The end of the inner core 302 passes through the junction box 303 and the cable guide plate 304 and connects to the docking block 305 to ensure the continuity and stability of signal transmission and reduce signal loss.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The locking mechanism 4 includes a fixed ring 401, whose outer side is fixedly connected to the top of the upper shell 2. The fixed ring 401 serves to support and fix other components, ensuring the stable operation of the locking mechanism 4. A rotating ring 402 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed ring 401. The rotating ring 402 provides a rotational basis for the rotation of subsequent components, ensuring the stability of the subsequent structural rotation. A rotating shaft 403 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating ring 402, enabling locking and unlocking functions by rotating the rotating shaft 403. A reset component is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 403. The reset component automatically restores the rotating shaft 403 to its initial position after unlocking, forming a self-locking structure for user convenience. A transmission component is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 403, converting the rotation of the rotating shaft 403 into the linear movement of the abutment block 408, thereby achieving the locking function. The output end of the transmission component is fixedly connected to a stop block 408. The linear movement of the stop block 408 forms a docking and locking structure with the network cable interface, which facilitates the insertion of the network cable. When it is necessary to remove the network cable, the reverse movement of the stop block 408 disengages from the network cable interface, thereby unlocking the entire network cable and making it easy to remove the network cable.

[0039] The reset assembly includes a torsion spring 404 and a limiting post 405. The inner side of the torsion spring 404 is sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the rotating shaft 403. The design of the torsion spring 404 allows the rotating shaft 403 to automatically reset after unlocking, reducing user operation steps. Limiting posts 405 are fixedly connected to both ends of the torsion spring 404. The function of the limiting posts 405 is to limit the rotation range of the torsion spring 404 and prevent the spring from being damaged due to excessive twisting. The top of the top limiting post 405 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing ring 401, and the bottom of the bottom limiting post 405 is fixedly connected to the upper bottom of the rotating shaft 403, thereby allowing the torsion spring 404 to effectively act on the rotating shaft 403 to achieve the reset function.

[0040] The transmission assembly includes rotating rods 406. Two adjacent ends of the rotating rods 406 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 403. The other ends of the rotating rods 406 are rotatably connected to a transmission rod 407. The design of the rotating rods 406 allows the rotation of the rotating shaft 403 to be converted into linear motion of the transmission rod 407, thereby driving the stop block 408 to perform synchronous linear motion. The outer side of the stop block 408 is fixedly connected to the other end of the transmission rod 407. The function of the transmission rod 407 is to transmit the motion of the rotating rods 406 to the stop block 408, ensuring that the stop block 408 can accurately move to the locking position, realizing the docking and locking of the network cable and its interface.

[0041] The upper shell 2 has an internal movable groove 409. The rotating shaft 403, rotating rod 406, transmission rod 407, and stop block 408 all move within the movable groove 409. The movable groove 409 provides a certain amount of space for the various components inside the locking mechanism 4, while limiting the range of motion of the components to prevent them from deviating from the predetermined track during movement, thereby improving the reliability of the locking mechanism 4.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6The cable securing mechanism 5 includes a set screw 502, the outer side of which is threaded to the top of the upper shell 2. Rotating the set screw 502 adjusts the tightness of the cable securing mechanism 5, thus securing the network cable. A rotating shaft 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the set screw 502. The rotating shaft 503 transmits the rotational movement of the set screw 502 to the compression ring 505, ensuring that the compression ring 505 can move up and down. The compression ring 505 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 503, allowing the compression ring 505 to move up and down under the drive of the rotating shaft 503, thereby applying pressure to the network cable and achieving a securing effect. A cable inlet plate 501 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the lower shell 1, providing a channel for the network cable to enter the cable securing mechanism 5. A cable bundle plate 504 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the lower shell 1, providing support and guidance for the compression ring 505, ensuring its stability during movement. The top of the compression ring 505 is slidably connected to the inner side of the cable tray 504 via a connecting post, and the outer side of the set screw 502 is threadedly connected to the top of the cable tray 504. The limiting effect of the connecting post allows the compression ring 505 to move smoothly under the guidance of the cable tray 504, preventing the compression ring 505 from shifting or getting stuck during movement.

[0043] Working principle: When the network cable is inserted, the rotating shaft 403 is rotated, which drives the rotating rod 406 to rotate, thus converting it into linear motion of the transmission rod 407. This causes the transmission rod 407 to slide horizontally inside the movable groove 409, thereby causing the stop block 408 to retract inward. The rotation of the rotating shaft 403 also causes the limiting post 405 on the shaft 403 to rotate synchronously, which in turn causes the torsion spring 404 to deform. When the stop block 408 retracts, the network cable can be inserted into the network cable interface for connection. After connection, the deformation recovery effect of the torsion spring 404 causes the rotating shaft 403 to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the transmission rod 407 to move linearly through the rotating rod 406. This causes the stop block 408 to reset, pressing and locking the stop block 408 against the network cable interface. To remove the network cable, repeat the operation.

[0044] When laying the network cable, the cable housing 301 is connected to the lower housing 1 through the connector plate. Then, by rotating the set screw 502, the set screw 502 moves downward at the top of the upper housing 2. This movement causes the compression ring 505 to move downward through the limiting action of the connecting post. The compression ring 505 then fixes the cable housing 301, preventing the inner core 302 from shaking due to external force during use, which would result in poor signal transmission.

[0045] During signal transmission, the signal is transmitted to the docking block 305 through the inner core 302, and then to the transmission board 306 through the docking block 305. The transmission board 306 then transmits the signal to the external device. During this process, the multiple cables in the network cable are separated by the junction box 303 to avoid signal interference. The cable guide plate 304 arranges the cables in an orderly manner to reduce friction and interference between the cables.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
