Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a bendable and positionable signal connector, and more particularly to a signal connector that allows the connected signal line to be bent and positioned at multiple angles. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of computer technology, desktop computers and laptops are ubiquitous in all corners of society. In addition, with the rise and popularization of network technology, various computer hosts, network switches or terminal servers are equipped with network connectors for network plugs to be connected. Most of these network connectors are of the RJ type, which allows computer hosts and other electronic devices to connect to the Internet through RJ network connectors, realizing a communication bridge for data transmission between the computer host and the external network.

[0003] As for RJ45 connectors, the LAN cables they are used with are increasingly being used for signal transmission and reception between communication devices. RJ45 connectors and sockets use a universal standard, making them easy to obtain anywhere in the world. A LAN cable includes 8 poles and 8 cores of signal wires, so RJ45 connectors and LAN cables are best suited for use as communication cables.

[0004] However, the protective sleeve structure at the connection point of the existing RJ45 plug and LAN cable cannot effectively bend and position at multiple angles, resulting in the LAN cable at the end of the RJ45 plug hanging down naturally. If there are multiple RJ45 plugs and LAN cables at the same time, the LAN cable will appear quite messy. In addition, the existing RJ45 plug LAN cable does not allow users to arbitrarily bend, route, configure and position the RJ45 plug LAN cable according to their installation needs.

[0005] Therefore, the main problem this invention aims to solve is how to provide a method that allows for bending and positioning of the signal cable connected to the signal connector at multiple angles. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a bendable and positionable signal connector, comprising a signal connector, a signal wire fixing member, and at least one metal strip. The signal connector can be an RJ-type connector, with a signal mating end at one end and a first signal connection part at the other end, which is plugged into an externally preset signal socket (such as an RJ connector). The signal wire fixing member is connected to the signal connector and connects to a preset signal wire. The signal wire fixing member has a second signal connection part at one end and an insulating sleeve at the other end. The second signal connection part is electrically connected to the first signal connection part of the signal connector. The insulating sleeve is used to cover one end of the preset signal wire, fixing one end of the signal wire inside the insulating sleeve and electrically connecting the signal wire to the second signal connection part. The metal strip is disposed inside the insulating sleeve of the signal wire fixing member. The metal strip has the characteristics of flexible bending and positioning, allowing the insulating sleeve of the signal wire fixing member to bend and position flexibly.

[0007] Furthermore, the insulating sleeve incorporates the metal strip in a single injection molding process.

[0008] Furthermore, the insulating sleeve has at least one fitting groove on its inner wall, and the metal strip is inserted into the fitting groove in a tight fit.

[0009] Furthermore, the signal connector is an RJ type connector.

[0010] The main technical feature of this utility model is that the insulating sleeve of the signal line fixing component is used to cover and connect one end of the preset signal line, and at least one flexible metal strip is provided inside the insulating sleeve. The metal strip can be bent and deformed at will, so that the insulating sleeve of the signal line fixing component is relatively flexible and can be bent and positioned in multiple ways. This allows the user to bend, wire and configure the signal line of the signal connector at will according to the installation requirements. For example, the signal line at the end of the signal connector can be bent vertically downward, which can be used to avoid obstructions or for use in crevices, making full use of limited space, and also avoiding the signal line from being too messy due to the signal line hanging down naturally.

[0026] To facilitate a quick and easy understanding of the other features, advantages, and effects of this utility model, the features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments further illustrate the viewpoints of this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model in any way.

[0027] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this invention discloses a bendable and positionable signal connector, including a signal connector 1, a signal line fixing member 2, and at least one metal strip 4.

[0028] The signal connector 1 has a signal docking end 11 at one end and a first signal connection part 12 at the other end. The signal docking end 11 is used to be plugged into an externally preset signal socket. For example, the signal connector 1 can be an RJ type connector (such as an RJ45 connector or other RJ type connectors). The signal docking end 11 is plugged into an externally preset RJ connector.

[0029] The signal line fixing component 2 is connected to the signal connector 1 and to a preset signal line 3 (such as a LAN cable). One end of the signal line fixing component 2 is provided with a second signal connection part 21 and the other end is provided with an insulating sleeve 22. The second signal connection part 21 is electrically connected to the first signal connection part 12 of the signal connector 1. The insulating sleeve 22 is used to cover and connect one end of the preset signal line 3, so that one end of the signal line 3 is covered and fixed in the insulating sleeve 22, and the end of the signal line 3 located in the insulating sleeve 22 is electrically connected to the second signal connection part 21, so that the signal connector 1 and the signal line 3 form an electrical connection.

[0030] At least one metal strip 4 is disposed inside the insulating sleeve 22 of the signal line fixing member 2 and is located opposite to the outside of the signal line 3. The metal strip 4 is flexible, that is, the metal strip 4 can be bent and deformed at will to fix it, so that the insulating sleeve 22 of the signal line fixing member 2 has flexible multi-bending and positioning.

[0031] The insulating sleeve 22 of the signal line fixing component 2 can be integrally injection molded to encapsulate at least one metal strip 4, so that the metal strip 4 can be securely disposed inside the insulating sleeve 22 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown).

[0032] The signal line fixing member 2 further has at least one fitting groove 221 on the inner wall of the insulating sleeve 22, and the metal strip 4 can be inserted into the fitting groove 221 in a corresponding tight fit, so that the metal strip 4 can be stably set inside the insulating sleeve 22 (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown).

[0033] In summary, the main technical feature of this invention is that the insulating sleeve 22 of the signal line fixing member 2 is used to cover and connect one end of the preset signal line 3, and at least one flexible metal strip 4 is provided inside the insulating sleeve 22. The metal strip 4 can be arbitrarily bent and deformed in multiple ways, allowing the insulating sleeve 22 of the signal line fixing member 2 to be arbitrarily bent and positioned. In this way, the user can arbitrarily bend and configure the signal line 3 of the signal connector 1 according to installation needs; for example, the signal line 3 at the tail end of the signal connector 1 can be bent vertically downwards (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (As shown), or the signal cable 3 at the end of the signal connector 1 can be bent at any angle and in any direction to avoid or use in a gap, making full use of the limited space, and also to avoid the signal cable 3 from being too messy due to the natural hanging form of the signal cable 3.
