Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network connectors, and more specifically, to a multi-port network connector. Background Technology
[0002] A multiport network connector is a network device with multiple network interfaces that can connect multiple networks or multiple devices within a network. These connectors are typically used to extend networks, connect different types of networks, or provide redundant connections in complex network environments. In different application scenarios, multiport network connectors may be called multiport routers, multiport switches, or multiport bridges, etc. Their main functions include: data forwarding, routing, collision domain and broadcast domain management, and network topology support.
[0003] Existing multi-port network connectors have a large number of serial ports. When all serial ports are connected for transmission, heat may be generated. Furthermore, the close arrangement of the serial ports results in slow heat dissipation at the connection points, potentially leading to heat-related damage. Therefore, we propose a new multi-port network connector. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a multi-port network connector, employing the following technical solution:
[0005] A multi-port network connector includes a connector body. One side of the connector body has multiple ports arranged in a linear array. A power port is located on the side of the connector body near the ports. Mounting openings are located on both sides of the connector body. Mounting frames are located within each of the two mounting openings. Air blowing components are located within each of the two mounting frames. Multiple air inlets are arranged in a rectangular array on the opposite side of each of the two mounting frames. Dustproof components are located on the opposite side of each of the two mounting frames. Three heat dissipation vents are arranged in a linear array on the side of the connector body away from the ports, and each heat dissipation vent contains a dustproof mesh. Three mounting plates are arranged in a linear array on the inner wall of the side of the connector body away from the ports. A cleaning component is located between each mounting plate and the opposite side of the dustproof mesh on the same side.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the product is in use, the airflow generated by the operation of the air blowing component acts on the port surface, which can dissipate heat from the port. Outside cold air enters the connector body through the air inlet on the side wall of the mounting frame, and heat is discharged through the heat dissipation vent, thus achieving a heat exchange function and helping to maintain the product's heat dissipation effect. Dustproof components are provided on opposite sides of the two mounting frames to help prevent dust from entering the connector body under the action of air suction, achieving a dustproof effect. In addition, a dustproof screen is provided inside the heat dissipation vent to prevent dust, and a cleaning component is provided in the connector body to clean the dustproof screen, helping to prevent the dustproof screen from becoming clogged, thereby helping to maintain the product's heat dissipation effect.
[0007] Furthermore, the air blowing assembly includes a geared motor disposed on the inner wall of the opposite side of the two mounting frames, fan blades are sleeved on the side wall of the output shaft of the two geared motors, and an air outlet frame is provided inside the opposite end of the two mounting frames.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the fan blades on the same side are driven to rotate by the geared motor to generate wind power. The wind power enters the port side wall surface inside the connector body through the air outlet frame on the same side, and the heat is discharged through the heat dissipation port, which can play a role in heat dissipation.
[0009] Furthermore, the dustproof component includes mounting brackets fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two mounting frames, filter cotton slidably installed inside the two mounting brackets, limit blocks fixedly installed on both sides of the two filter cotton, and limit grooves matching the limit blocks on the same side opened on the inner walls of the two mounting brackets.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fan blades rotate and generate wind force that acts on the inside of the connector body, the wind force draws cold air from the outside into the connector body through the air inlet. The two mounting frames on opposite sides are equipped with filter cotton, which filters dust in the air and helps to prevent dust from entering the inside of the connector body, thus achieving a dustproof effect. The filter cotton is slidably placed in the mounting frame on the same side and is fixed by the limiting block and the limiting groove on the same side, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly and cleaning by the staff.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the two filter cottons has a plurality of insert rods arranged in a linear array fixedly installed at its bottom end, and the inner wall of the bottom end of the two mounting brackets has slots that match the insert rods on the same side.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the staff places the filter cotton inside the mounting bracket on the same side, the limiting block slides in the limiting groove on the same side. Then, the insertion rod installed at the bottom of the filter cotton engages and is fixed with the slot opened on the inner wall of the bottom end of the mounting bracket on the same side, which helps to maintain the stability of the filter cotton installation.
[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a fan disposed on the side of the mounting plate near the dustproof net on the same side, and a plurality of brush plates arranged in a ring array are fixedly installed on the side wall of the output shaft of the fan.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the brush plate on the same side is driven to rotate by the fan. The brush plate is located on the opposite side of the dustproof net and rotates to clean the dustproof net. This helps to maintain the permeability of the dustproof net, which in turn helps to maintain the heat dissipation effect of the equipment. Moreover, the dust swept off can be removed from the dustproof net by the wind force, which helps to prevent dust from entering the connector body.
[0015] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed positioning blocks are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of each of the two mounting frames, and positioning grooves matching the positioning blocks on the same side are opened on the inner walls of the top and bottom of the two mounting openings.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mounting frame and the mounting port are assembled, the port and the connector body are detachable. The port and the connector body are fixed by fasteners in the prior art, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the mounting frame. The staff places the mounting frame into the mounting port. The bottom and top of the mounting frame are provided with positioning blocks. The positioning blocks engage with the positioning grooves opened on the inner wall of the mounting port to position the mounting frame, which facilitates subsequent fixing.
[0017] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] (1) In this utility model, by setting the wind blowing component, the fan blades on the same side are driven to rotate by the geared motor to generate wind force. The wind force enters the port surface inside the connector body through the air outlet frame on the same side, and the heat is discharged through the heat dissipation port, which can play the role of heat dissipation. A dustproof net is provided inside the heat dissipation port to play the role of dust prevention.
[0019] (2) In this utility model, a cleaning component is provided on the side of the dustproof net near the port. The brush plate on the same side is driven to rotate by the fan. The brush plate is located on the opposite side of the dustproof net and rotates to clean the dustproof net. This helps to maintain the permeability of the dustproof net, which in turn helps to maintain the heat dissipation effect of the equipment. The dust that is cleaned can be removed from the dustproof net under the action of the wind, which helps to prevent dust from entering the connector body. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0033] Please see Figure 1-7 A multi-port network connector includes a connector body 1. Multiple ports 2 arranged in a linear array are embedded on one side of the connector body 1. A power port is located on the side of the connector body 1 near the ports 2. Mounting openings 14 are provided on both sides of the connector body 1. Mounting frames 3 are provided within each of the two mounting openings 14. Air blowing components are provided within each of the two mounting frames 3. Multiple air inlets arranged in a rectangular array are provided on opposite sides of each of the two mounting frames 3. The air blowing components include a geared motor 15 disposed on the inner wall of the opposite side of each of the two mounting frames 3. Fan blades 16 are fitted onto the side walls of the output shafts of the two geared motors 15. An air outlet frame 9 is provided inside the opposite end of each of the two mounting frames 3. When in use, the geared motor 15 drives the fan blades 16 on the same side to rotate, generating airflow. The airflow enters the surface of the side wall of the ports 2 inside the connector body 1 through the air outlet frame 9 on the same side, and heat is discharged through the heat dissipation vents 8, thus achieving heat dissipation.
[0034] Dustproof components are provided on opposite sides of both mounting frames 3. Each dustproof component includes a mounting bracket 4 fixedly installed on opposite sides of both mounting frames 3. Filter cotton 5 is slidably installed inside each mounting bracket 4. Limiting blocks 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of each filter cotton 5. Limiting grooves matching the limiting blocks 6 on the same side are opened on the inner walls of both mounting brackets 4. When the fan blade 16 rotates and generates wind force that acts on the inside of the connector body 1, the wind force draws cold air from the outside into the connector body 1 through the air inlet. The filter cotton 5 on opposite sides of the two mounting frames 3 filters dust from the air, helping to prevent dust from entering the connector body 1 and achieving a dustproof effect. The filter cotton 5 is slidably placed in the mounting bracket 4 on the same side and is fixed by sliding engagement with the limiting blocks 6 and the limiting grooves on the same side, facilitating subsequent disassembly and cleaning by the staff.
[0035] Multiple insert rods 7 arranged in a straight array are fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two filter cottons 5. The inner wall of the bottom of the two mounting brackets 4 is provided with slots that match the insert rods 7 on the same side. After the operator places the filter cotton 5 inside the mounting bracket 4 on the same side, the limiting block 6 slides in the limiting groove on the same side. Then, the insert rods 7 installed at the bottom of the filter cotton 5 are engaged and fixed with the slots opened on the inner wall of the bottom of the mounting bracket 4 on the same side, which helps to maintain the stability of the filter cotton 5 installation.
[0036] The connector body 1 has three heat dissipation vents 8 arranged in a straight line array on the side away from the port 2, and each heat dissipation vent 8 is equipped with a dustproof mesh. The inner wall of the connector body 1 on the side away from the port 2 has three mounting plates 10 arranged in a straight line array. A cleaning component is provided between the mounting plate 10 and the side opposite to the dustproof mesh on the same side. The cleaning component includes a fan 11 set on the side of the mounting plate 10 near the dustproof mesh on the same side. Multiple brush plates 12 arranged in a ring array are fixedly installed on the side wall of the output shaft of the fan 11.
[0037] The heat dissipation vent 8 is equipped with a dustproof screen, which can prevent dust. The fan 11 can drive the brush plate 12 on the same side to rotate. The brush plate 12 is located on the opposite side of the dustproof screen and rotates to clean the dustproof screen. This helps to maintain the permeability of the dustproof screen, which in turn helps to maintain the heat dissipation effect of the equipment. The dust swept down can be removed from the dustproof screen by the wind, which helps to prevent dust from entering the connector body 1.
[0038] Two symmetrically distributed positioning blocks 13 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of each of the two mounting frames 3. The inner walls of the top and bottom of the two mounting ports 14 are provided with positioning grooves that match the positioning blocks 13 on the same side. When the mounting frame 3 is assembled with the mounting port 14, the port 2 and the connector body 1 are detachable. The port 2 and the connector body 1 are fixed by fasteners in the prior art, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the mounting frame 3. The operator places the mounting frame 3 into the mounting port 14. The mounting frame 3 is provided with positioning blocks 13 at the bottom and top. The positioning blocks 13 engage with the positioning grooves opened in the inner wall of the mounting port 14 to position the mounting frame 3, which facilitates the subsequent fixing.
[0039] The implementation principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows: When the product is in use, the wind force generated by the operation of the wind blowing component acts on the surface of port 2, which can dissipate heat from port 2. Outside cold air enters the interior of connector body 1 through the air inlet on the side wall of the mounting frame 3, and heat is discharged through the heat dissipation vent 8, which can play a role in heat exchange and help maintain the heat dissipation effect of the product. Dustproof components are provided on opposite sides of the two mounting frames 3, which helps to prevent dust from entering the interior of connector body 1 under the action of wind suction, thus achieving a dustproof effect. In addition, a dustproof mesh is provided inside the heat dissipation vent 8, which can play a role in dust prevention. The connector body 1 is provided with a cleaning component, which can play a role in cleaning the dustproof mesh, helping to prevent the dustproof mesh from becoming clogged, thereby helping to maintain the heat dissipation effect of the product and maintaining the heat dissipation effect of the product.
[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
