[0030] This application provides a network card converter with a metal shielding layer, which solves the problem that in the prior art, when developing network card converters, the circuit structure is usually directly exposed for adjustment and testing. However, in this process, sensitive components in the circuit structure are easily interfered with by electromagnetic influences in the test environment, thus affecting the test data of the entire network card converter. If the circuit structure is installed in the housing and electromagnetic shielding is designed, the traditional assembly process is cumbersome, requiring the housing to be aligned and the position fixed with multiple screws. This increases the testing time for R&D personnel and adds to the cumbersome operation process.

[0031] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] This utility model discloses a network card converter with a metal shielding layer, according to the appendix. Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a first housing 1, a second housing 2, a circuit board structure 3, a metal shielding ring 4, a positioning plate 5, a docking seat 6, and a locking unit 7;

[0034] The first housing 1 serves as the main support structure for the entire network card converter, providing a mounting base for other components.

[0035] The second housing 2 is movably snapped onto the first housing 1, and together with the first housing, they form the outer shell of the converter to protect the internal components.

[0036] The circuit board structure 3, mounted on the first housing 1, is the core component of the network card converter, responsible for data conversion and transmission. A cable 31 is connected to the circuit board structure 3, passing through the second housing 2 and fixedly connected to a USB male connector 32 for connection to external devices. The circuit board structure 3 also features a network card panel 33, located on the first housing 1, for network connectivity.

[0037] The metal shielding ring 4 is movably engaged between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 to shield against external electromagnetic interference and improve the stability of data transmission.

[0038] The positioning plate 5 is disposed on the first housing 1, and a plug 51 is provided on it for cooperating with the docking seat 6 to realize the positioning connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0039] The docking seat 6 is disposed on the second housing 2, and has a socket 61 corresponding to the plug 51 for cooperating with the positioning plate 5 to realize the connection of the housing.

[0040] The locking unit 7 is disposed on the docking seat 6 and is used to lock and limit the insertion block 51 to ensure the firmness of the connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0041] This network card converter with a metal shielding layer, through the design of a first housing 1, a second housing 2, a circuit board structure 3, a metal shielding ring 4, a positioning plate 5, a docking seat 6, and a locking unit 7, facilitates the installation and docking of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. This, in turn, makes it easy to quickly disassemble, upgrade, and test the circuit board structure 3 during the research and development process. At the same time, the metal shielding ring 4 is easy to assemble and protects the circuit board structure 3 from external electromagnetic interference, thereby ensuring good testing stability of the circuit board structure 3 during the research and development process, making it easy to operate and meeting usage requirements.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] This utility model discloses a network card converter with a metal shielding layer, according to the appendix. Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a first housing 1, a second housing 2, a circuit board structure 3, a metal shielding ring 4, a positioning plate 5, a docking seat 6, and a locking unit 7;

[0044] The second housing 2 is movably snapped onto the first housing 1;

[0045] The circuit board structure 3 is disposed on the first housing 1. A cable 31 is connected to the circuit board structure 3. A USB male connector 32 is fixedly connected to the cable 31 through the second housing 2. A network card panel 33 is provided on the circuit board structure 3. The network card panel 33 is located on the first housing 1.

[0046] The metal shielding ring 4 is movably engaged between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2;

[0047] The positioning plate 5 is disposed on the first housing 1, and the positioning plate 5 is provided with an insert block 51;

[0048] The docking seat 6 is disposed on the second housing 2, and the docking seat 6 is provided with a socket 61 corresponding to the plug 51;

[0049] The locking unit 7 is disposed on the docking seat 6 and is used to lock and limit the insertion block 51.

[0050] Locking unit 7 includes:

[0051] An adjusting block 71 is located inside the docking seat 6; the adjusting block 71 is provided with a push handle 711, which is slidably connected to the docking seat 6.

[0052] A locking rod 72 is mounted on the adjusting block 71 and movably inserted into the insert block 51. The insert block 51 has a locking hole 52 corresponding to the position of the locking rod 72.

[0053] A spring 73 is provided between the two sets of adjusting blocks 71, and the spring 73 is located inside the docking seat 6.

[0054] When connecting the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, align the insert 51 on the positioning plate 5 with the insertion hole 61 on the docking seat 6, push the second housing 2 to bring it closer to the first housing 1, and insert the insert 51 into the insertion hole 61 to achieve initial positioning.

[0055] The locking unit 7 is then used to lock the insert 51.

[0056] The adjusting block 71 is located inside the docking seat 6 and can be moved to control the position of the locking rod 72.

[0057] The locking rod 72 is mounted on the adjusting block 71. When the insert block 51 is inserted into the insertion hole 61, the adjusting block 71 is pushed to make the locking rod 72 move into the locking hole 52 in the insert block 51, thereby achieving locking and limiting.

[0058] The push handle 711 is mounted on the adjusting block 71 and is slidably connected to the docking seat 6, making it easy for the user to manually push the adjusting block 71.

[0059] Spring 73 is located between the two sets of adjusting blocks 71, inside the mating seat 6, and provides elastic restoring force so that locking rod 72 remains locked in its natural state.

[0060] When using the locking unit 7, the user pushes the push handle 711 to overcome the elastic restoring force of the spring 73, causing the adjusting block 71 to move and drive the locking rod 72 out of the lock hole 52, thus releasing the locking state. At this time, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be separated. Conversely, when the push handle 711 is released, the spring 73 pushes the adjusting block 71 to reset, causing the locking rod 72 to be inserted into the lock hole 52, thus achieving locking.

[0061] The first housing 1 has a fixed internal connection with a reinforcing post 11 for supporting the metal shielding ring 4. The reinforcing post 11 ensures the stable installation of the metal shielding ring 4.

[0062] The interior of the second housing 2 is provided with a support base 21 for supporting the circuit board structure 3. The support base 21 provides stable support for the circuit board structure 3, thereby improving the stability of the circuit board structure 3.
