Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network port security technology, specifically a robust network port security lock. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of digitalization, the security of computer network equipment has become increasingly critical. As the core channel for data transmission, computer network ports face severe security challenges.

[0003] Traditional computer network ports lack effective physical protection, making them vulnerable to unauthorized insertion and malicious damage. In public network areas or corporate office environments, it is common for criminals to arbitrarily plug and unplug network cables, thereby stealing data or interfering with normal network operation. Although some devices are equipped with simple network port security locks, these locks have revealed many problems in practical applications. From a structural design perspective, their compatibility with network ports is poor, making installation cumbersome and difficult to securely fix. In terms of operation, the unlocking method lacks precise guidance, and the key (the unlocking tool for the network port security lock) is prone to deviation when inserted, which can not only damage the lock but also prevent it from unlocking properly, greatly affecting the user experience and work efficiency.

[0004] Overall, current network port security locks on the market have significant shortcomings in terms of structural design rationality and ease of use. There is an urgent need for a network port security lock that is more scientifically designed, more precise in installation, more reliable in locking, and more convenient in operation to meet the ever-increasing demand for network security protection. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0006] A robust network port security lock includes a locking part and a key. The locking part includes a mounting bracket for embedding in a computer network port. The mounting bracket is generally hollow and frame-shaped. A resilient latch is connected to the mounting bracket. A latching protrusion is provided on the top side of the resilient latch. A keyhole corresponding to the resilient latch is provided on the front side of the mounting bracket. The key includes a control part and an unlocking part connected to the control part and capable of passing through the keyhole and engaging with the resilient latch.

[0007] The inner surface of the fixing frame is integrally formed with a guide post corresponding to the key card hole. The guide post has a columnar structure and its extension direction is consistent with the axial direction of the key card hole, so that its extension direction forms a channel for guiding the unlocking part.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the channel formed by the guide post for guiding the unlocking part is axially aligned with the key card hole.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the guide post is disposed above the key card hole, and at least a portion of its area is vertically projected onto the area directly above the key card hole.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the front side of the guide post is connected to the front side of the fixing frame, and one side wall of the guide post is connected to the inner side wall of the fixing frame;

[0011] The front side of the guide post is positioned corresponding to the key card hole, and the rear side of the guide post is thickened to form a thickened portion that protrudes upwards.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the elastic latch is connected to the rear side of the fixing frame, wherein the elastic latch includes an upwardly positioned latching part and a forwardly positioned elastic pressing part, and the latching part has the latching protrusion integrally formed on the top side of the latching part;

[0013] The unlocking part can pass through the keyhole to engage with the elastic pressing part.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a locking block is formed on the outer side of the unlocking part. When the unlocking part is inserted into the hollow of the fixing frame from the key hole until the locking block is located in the hollow of the fixing frame, and the unlocking part is pulled outward so that the locking block abuts against the inner front wall of the hollow of the fixing frame, the unlocking part is in the unlocked state of the elastic pressing part of the elastic locking tongue.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two unlocking parts and two key card holes are provided on the left and right sides respectively, and the unlocking part is an elastic structure.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1) When the network cable is not in use, the combination of the mounting bracket and the elastic latch can effectively seal the network port, preventing foreign objects from entering the port and avoiding damage to the port due to long-term exposure; at the same time, it prevents unauthorized network cables from being inserted, preventing criminals from using the network port to steal data or launch network attacks, thus improving network security.

[0018] 2) The hollow frame design of the mounting bracket makes it highly compatible with the network port, and the installation process is simple, quick and easy, and the fixation is firm. It solves the problems of cumbersome installation and unstable fixation of traditional network port security locks.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a robust network port security lock includes a lock part 1 and a key 2. The lock part 1 includes a fixing frame 3 for being embedded in a computer network port. The fixing frame 3 is generally hollow and frame-shaped. An elastic latch 4 is connected to the fixing frame 3. A latching protrusion 5 is provided on the top side of the elastic latch 4. A keyhole 6 corresponding to the elastic latch 4 is provided on the front side of the fixing frame 3. The key 2 includes a control part 7 and an unlocking part 8 connected to the control part 7 and capable of passing through the keyhole 6 and engaging with the elastic latch 4.

[0029] The inner surface of the fixing frame 3 is integrally formed with a guide post 9 corresponding to the key card hole 6. The guide post 9 has a columnar structure and its extension direction is consistent with the axial direction of the key card hole 6, so that its extension direction forms a channel 10 for guiding the unlocking part 8.

[0030] In this utility model technical solution, the fixing frame 3 of the locking part 1 is a hollow frame structure. This design fits the shape of the computer network port and can be tightly embedded in the network port. When the network cable is not in use, the fixing frame 3 is installed at the network port. It is like a protective cover or network port plug to close the network port and prevent foreign objects from accidentally entering the network port. At the same time, it also provides support for the subsequent locking function.

[0031] The elastic latch 4 is connected to the fixing frame 3, and its top side is provided with a latching protrusion 5. When the fixing frame 3 is installed on the network port, the elastic latch 4 uses its own elasticity to make the latching protrusion 5 tightly engage with the edge or internal specific structure of the network port (this structure is intended to cooperate with the corresponding slot inside the network port), thereby firmly fixing the fixing frame 3 in the position of the network port, preventing the fixing frame 3 from being easily removed, and thus preventing the network cable from being inserted into the network port without authorization.

[0032] The key 2 consists of a control part 7 and an unlocking part 8. The front side of the fixing frame 3 is provided with a key card hole 6. When the network cable needs to be used, the unlocking part 8 of the key 2 is inserted into the key card hole 6. By operating (holding) the control part 7, the unlocking part 8 acts on the elastic latch 4, overcoming the elasticity of the elastic latch 4, and allowing the latch protrusion 5 to disengage from the mesh opening. At this time, the fixing frame 3 can be removed from the mesh opening, allowing the network cable to be inserted.

[0033] The inner surface of the fixing frame 3 is integrally formed with a guide post 9 corresponding to the key card hole 6. The extension direction of the guide post 9 is consistent with the axial direction of the key card hole 6. When the key 2 is inserted, the channel 10 formed by the guide post 9 (the channel 10 formed by the guide post 9 and the key card hole 6 respectively) can guide the unlocking part 8 to be accurately inserted into the key card hole 6 and precisely cooperate with the elastic latch 4 to avoid unlocking failure due to insertion angle or position deviation.

[0034] In summary, when the network cable is not in use, the combination of the fixing bracket 3 and the elastic latch 4 can effectively seal the network port, preventing foreign objects from entering and avoiding damage to the network port due to long-term exposure. At the same time, it prevents unauthorized network cable insertion, preventing criminals from using the network port to steal data or launch network attacks, thus improving network security. The hollow frame design of the fixing bracket 3 makes it highly compatible with the network port, and the installation process is simple, quick, and secure, solving the problems of cumbersome installation and unstable fixation of traditional network port security locks. The guide post 9 provides precise guidance for the insertion of the key 2, avoiding deviation when the key 2 is inserted, reducing damage to the lock (i.e., the fixing bracket 3), ensuring a smooth unlocking process, and improving the user experience and work efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment of the utility model, the channel 10 formed by the guide post 9 for guiding the unlocking part 8 is axially aligned with the key card hole 6.

[0036] The channel 10 formed by the guide post 9 for guiding the unlocking part 8 is axially aligned with the key card hole 6. This design is to create a precise and unobstructed unlocking path. When the unlocking part 8 of the key 2 is inserted, the channel 10 of the guide post 9 serves as the initial guide segment. Due to its axial alignment with the key card hole 6, the unlocking part 8 is corrected to the same axial direction as the key card hole 6 before entering the key card hole 6. This means that the unlocking part 8 always moves along the same straight trajectory throughout the entire insertion process, avoiding angular deviations caused by the misalignment of the guide post 9 and the key card hole 6. This ensures that the unlocking part 8 can be accurately inserted into the key card hole 6 and cooperate with the elastic latch 4.

[0037] This greatly improves the accuracy of unlocking. Traditional unlocking methods, if lacking precise axial guidance, can easily cause the key 2 to become misaligned during insertion, making it difficult for the unlocking part 8 to align with the key card hole 6, or even impossible to insert. This design allows users to easily insert the unlocking part 8 into the key card hole 6 without repeatedly adjusting the angle of the key 2, reducing the risk of damage to the lock due to incorrect insertion, improving the success rate of operation, and extending the service life of this security lock.

[0038] In this embodiment of the present invention, the guide post 9 is disposed above the key card hole 6, and at least a portion thereof is vertically projected onto the area directly above the key card hole 6.

[0039] The guide post 9 is positioned above the key card slot 6, acting as a guide rail. When the unlocking part 8 of the key 2 is inserted into the key card slot 6, the guide post 9, due to its position above the key card slot 6, provides a stable guiding trajectory for the unlocking part 8. Since the guide post 9 and the key card slot 6 are closely connected in the vertical direction, the unlocking part 8 can accurately engage with the elastic latch 4 along the direction determined by the guide post 9. This design utilizes the physical positional relationship of the guide post 9 to ensure that the movement path of the unlocking part 8 within the key card slot 6 is stable and accurate, preventing the unlocking part 8 from shifting or getting stuck when it contacts the elastic latch 4.

[0040] In this embodiment of the utility model, the front side of the guide post 9 is connected to the front side of the fixing frame, and one side wall of the guide post 9 is connected to the inner side wall of the fixing frame.

[0041] The front side of the guide post 9 is provided corresponding to the key card hole 6, and the rear side of the guide post 9 is thickened to form a thickened part 11 protruding upward.

[0042] From a mechanical structure perspective, the guide post 9 is closely connected to the fixing frame 3, forming a stable whole. The fixing frame 3 is used to block the mesh opening. In practical applications, it will bear various external forces, such as the force when installing and removing the safety lock, as well as possible collision forces from the outside. Through its close connection with the fixing frame 3, the guide post 9 can share the external force with its own structural strength when the fixing frame 3 is under force.

[0043] Furthermore, the front side of the guide post 9 is connected to the front side of the fixed frame, and one side wall is connected to the inner side wall of the fixed frame. This multi-faceted connection forms a stable mechanical structure. The front connection ensures the stability of the guide post 9 in the direction of key 2 insertion, so that the guide post 9 will not be displaced due to force during the insertion of the unlocking part 8. The side wall connection strengthens the integrity of the guide post 9 and the fixed frame from the side. When subjected to external forces from other directions, the two can work together to distribute the impact of external forces.

[0044] The rear side of the guide post 9 is thickened and protrudes upward to form a thickened part 11. The thickened part 11 enhances the structural strength of the end of the guide post 9. When the unlocking part 8 is inserted along the guide post 9, the thickened part 11 can provide additional guiding support at the rear end, ensuring that the unlocking part 8 cooperates more accurately with the elastic latch 4.

[0045] In this embodiment of the present invention, the elastic latch 4 is connected to the rear side of the fixing frame 3. The elastic latch 4 includes an upwardly positioned latching part 12 and a forwardly positioned elastic pressing part 13. The top side of the latching part 12 is integrally formed with the latching protrusion 5.

[0046] The unlocking part 8 can pass through the key card hole 6 to engage with the elastic pressing part 13.

[0047] The elastic latch 4 is connected to the rear side of the mounting bracket 3. This positional design, combined with the mounting bracket 3's sealing of the network port, effectively prevents unauthorized insertion of network cables. The elastic latch 4 consists of an upward-facing latching part 12 and a forward-facing elastic pressing part 13. The latching part 12 has an integrally formed latching protrusion 5 on its top side, which plays a key role when the security lock is engaged. When the mounting bracket 3 is installed on the network port, the latching protrusion 5 can tightly engage with the edge or internal structure of the network port to securely seal the network port and prevent network cables from entering. The unlocking part 8 can pass through the keyhole 6 and engage with the elastic pressing part 13. When the key 2 is inserted, the unlocking part 8 acts on the elastic pressing part 13, using leverage or direct force to cause the elastic latch 4 to undergo elastic deformation. The elastic pressing part 13 deforms under force, causing the latching part 12 and the latching protrusion 5 to disengage from the network port, thereby unlocking the device and allowing the mounting bracket 3 to be removed and the network cable to be inserted.

[0048] In this embodiment of the present invention, a locking block 14 is formed on the outer side of the unlocking part 8. When the unlocking part 8 is inserted into the hollow of the fixing frame 3 from the key 2 hole until the locking block 14 is located in the hollow of the fixing frame 3, and the unlocking part 8 is pulled outward so that the locking block 14 abuts against the inner front wall of the hollow of the fixing frame 3, the unlocking part 8 is in the unlocked state of the elastic pressing part 13 of the elastic latch 4.

[0049] The locking block 14 formed on the outer side of the unlocking part 8 plays a key role in the unlocking process. When the unlocking part 8 is inserted into the hollow of the fixing frame 3 through the key 2 hole until the locking block 14 enters the hollow interior of the fixing frame 3 and completes the initial positioning, when the unlocking part 8 is pulled outward, the locking block 14 abuts against the inner front wall of the hollow fixing frame 3, forming a stable support point. Based on this support point, the pulling force generated when the key 2 is pulled can be effectively transmitted to the fixing frame 3, overcoming the friction between the fixing frame 3 and the mesh opening, helping the fixing frame 3 to disengage from the mesh opening, and realizing the unlocking. When the locking block 14 abuts against the inner front wall of the hollow fixing frame 3 due to the pulling outward of the unlocking part 8, the unlocking part 8 is in the unlocking state of pushing the elastic pressing part 13 of the elastic latch 4. Thus, the elastic pressing part 13 is linked to the locking part 12 to generate elastic displacement (in this structure, it is in the downward direction), so that the locking protrusion 5 can disengage from the structure corresponding to the mesh opening, realizing that the fixing frame 3 is disengaged from the mesh opening by the key 2.

[0050] In this embodiment of the utility model, the unlocking part 8 and the key card hole 6 are each provided in two on the left and right sides, and the unlocking part 8 is an elastic structure.

[0051] The two unlocking parts 8 and key card hole 6 are set on the left and right sides to distribute the force of unlocking more evenly on the elastic latch 4. In this way, when the key 2 is inserted to unlock, the unlocking parts 8 on both sides work at the same time, avoiding the problem of uneven force applied by a single unlocking part 8 causing damage to the elastic latch 4 or difficulty in unlocking, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the unlocking process.

[0052] Two unlocking parts 8 are arranged opposite each other, with a hollow space between them, allowing the two unlocking parts 8 to retract to a certain extent. The locking block 14 is located on one unlocking part 8 away from the other unlocking part 8, i.e., on the outside of the unlocking part 8. When the two unlocking parts 8 are inserted into the two key 2 holes respectively, the pressure between the locking block 14 and the key 2 hole causes the unlocking part 8 to elastically deform towards the other unlocking part 8. After the locking block 14 enters the hollow of the fixing frame 3, the pressure between the locking block 14 and the key 2 hole is released, and the unlocking part 822 deforms and recovers, thereby achieving the abutment between the locking block 14 and the inner front wall of the fixing frame 3. Under the action of the locking block 14 and the inner front wall of the fixing frame 3, it is ensured that the end of the unlocking part 8 is always abutting against the elastic pressing part 13. This ensures that when the fixing frame 3 is driven away from the mesh opening by the key 2, the locking protrusion 5 is always in the state of being detached from the corresponding structure of the mesh opening.

[0053] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
