Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to network connector technical field, concretely is a network connector copper shell buckle point flanging structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of communication technology and the popularity of electronic equipment, network connectors, as indispensable components in modern devices, are widely used in computers, communications, home appliances, automotive electronics and other fields. The copper shell of the network connector, as one of its core components, mainly provides connection function, protects internal circuits, bears mechanical load and prevents external interference. However, in the design and manufacturing process of the copper shell, how to ensure the stability and reliability of the connector, especially in the design of the buckle structure, still faces many challenges.

[0003] In the traditional design of network connector copper shell, the buckle structure is designed by bending the copper shell at an acute angle to ensure the tightness of the buckle point, thereby avoiding the loosening of the buckle during assembly. This acute angle design can effectively fix the buckle position and ensure the reliability of the connector in actual use. However, this design, although it solves the problem of loose buckle, brings about many new problems. In the traditional buckle bending structure, in order to form an acute angle, the copper shell usually needs to be precisely machined through stamping or bending process. This process is not only complex, but also requires precise equipment for adjustment. Especially in mass production, this processing technology requires high production precision and more time investment, resulting in a decline in production capacity. The production of each copper shell requires a long time, which prolongs the production cycle and affects the overall production efficiency and yield. The acute angle processing requires high operating precision, and each batch of copper shell may have a small error during processing, resulting in inconsistent buckles. This error not only affects the appearance of the product, but also may affect the performance of the connector, which cannot be smoothly matched with the socket or other connection components, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of the whole machine and increasing the difficulty of detection and screening.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above technical problems, it is necessary for the skilled person in the art to develop a network connector copper shell buckle point flanging structure. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0008] As a preferred technical scheme, the cross section of the flange is arc-shaped, the curvature radius ranges from 0.5mm to 1.5mm, and the extension height of the flange is 1.2 to 1.8 times the thickness of the lower shell.

[0009] As a preferred technical scheme, the end of the buckle piece is provided with a chamfer structure, and the elastic deformation amount of the buckle piece matches the hole diameter of the buckle hole.

[0014] The flanging structure of the network connector copper shell buckle point flanging structure not only simplifies the processing process, reduces the demand for precision equipment, but also improves the production efficiency and yield. The traditional acute angle buckle design needs complex stamping or bending process, while the flanging structure of the network connector copper shell buckle point flanging structure enhances the buckling stability of the buckle piece and the buckle hole through the continuous curved surface structure, avoids the performance problems caused by processing errors. In addition, the arc-shaped design and reasonable extension height of the flange further improve the stability of the buckling, so that the connector is more reliable in actual use. The chamfer structure at the end of the buckle piece matches the hole diameter of the buckle hole, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the buckling.

[0020] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the present application provides a network connector copper shell buckle point flanging structure technical scheme: including a base 1, an upper shell 2 and a lower shell 25. The lower shell 25 is provided with a buckle hole 251 and a flange 252. The upper shell 2 includes an outer spring piece 21, an inner spring piece 22, an insertion piece 23 and a buckle piece 24. The buckle piece 24 is connected with the buckle hole 251 in cooperation, the flange 252 is arranged at the edge of the lower shell 25 and extends inwardly to form a continuous curved surface structure, which is used for enhancing the buckling stability of the buckle piece 24 and the buckle hole 251.

[0021] The cross section of the flange 252 is arc-shaped, the curvature radius range thereof is 0.5mm to 1.5mm, and the extension height of the flange 252 is 1.2 times to 1.8 times of the thickness of the lower shell 25. Such design makes the flange 252 not only enhance the buckling stability, but also ensure the strength and durability of the structure.

[0022] The end of the buckle piece 24 is provided with a chamfer structure, which is matched with the hole diameter of the buckle hole 251. Such design ensures the smoothness of the buckle piece 24 when inserted into the buckle hole 251, and avoids damage or looseness caused by the mismatch between the buckle piece 24 and the buckle hole 251.

[0023] The outer spring piece 21 and the inner spring piece 22 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the upper shell 2, and such symmetric distribution enhances the structural strength of the upper shell 2 and improves the overall stability of the connector.

[0024] The insertion piece 23 is a stepped structure, and the front end of the insertion piece 23 is provided with a guide inclined surface, and the inclination angle of the guide inclined surface is 10° to 20°. This design makes the insertion piece 23 more easy and accurate when inserted into the socket or other connecting components, and improves the user experience.

[0025] The base 1 and the lower shell 25 are fixed by clamping. This clamping method is simple and reliable, reduces the assembly difficulty, and ensures the stability and reliability of the connector.

[0026] Manufacturing the lower shell 25 includes forming the buckle hole 251 and the flange 252 at the edge of the lower shell 25. The flange 252 can be formed by stamping or bending process, but compared with the traditional acute angle design, the flange 252 of the embodiment is easier to process, and the requirement for equipment precision is lower.

[0027] Manufacturing the upper shell 2 includes forming the outer spring piece 21, the inner spring piece 22, the insertion piece 23 and the buckle piece 24. The chamfered structure at the end of the buckle piece 24 can be formed together in the stamping process.

[0028] Assembling the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 25 ensures that the buckle piece 24 is correctly matched with the buckle hole 251. Due to the existence of the flange 252, the buckling of the buckle piece 24 and the buckle hole 251 will be more stable. The base 1 and the lower shell 25 are fixed by clamping, and the assembly of the network connector copper shell buckle point flange structure is completed.
