Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network cable connector technology, specifically a secure data network cable connector. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the security protection and management of physical information ports remains a top priority.

[0003] However, many network devices inevitably have some spare or unused ports (such as RJ45 connectors). If these ports are used to plug network cables into the network or illegally access network terminals, it will cause serious information security risks. Therefore, a security locking device is needed to block these spare or unused ports to prevent the occurrence of illegal network access risks. To this end, we propose a secure data cable connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is: how to lock the RJ45 network cable connector body in place when it is inserted into the network cable socket, so that it cannot be plugged in or unplugged at will.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a secure data network cable connector, including a terminal, with a locking head sleeved at the tail of the terminal, the locking head extending to the latching position of the terminal and abutting against the latch;

[0006] A locking device is provided between the lock head and the end to restrict the movement of the lock head;

[0007] It also includes a key, which is detachably mounted on the lock cylinder and engages with the lock to remove the lock cylinder from its restraints.

[0008] In some embodiments, the lock head includes an integrally formed fitting tail and an extended top, the fitting tail being movably fitted onto the end tail, and the extended top extending from above the end and abutting against the inside of the end's latch.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lock includes a lock cylinder fixed at the end side position;

[0010] The lock cylinder has a sliding groove on its inner side that matches the size of the lock cylinder, and a lock groove that intersects with the sliding groove is also provided on the inner side of the lock cylinder. A lock tongue is slidably provided in the lock groove. The lock cylinder and the lock tongue are misaligned and abut against each other. A lock hole that communicates with the lock groove is also provided on the inner side of the lock cylinder. The lock is inserted into the lock hole to push the lock to move.

[0011] In some embodiments, the latch is a notch-shaped locking block, the size of which is adapted to the lock cylinder, and can pass through the latch when the lock cylinder aligns with the notch;

[0012] An elastic element is provided in the lock groove, and the two ends of the elastic element are respectively connected to the lock head and the lock tongue, so that the lock tongue and the lock cylinder are kept misaligned.

[0013] In some embodiments, both the latch and the lock cylinder are provided in two parts, and the height and position of the notches on the two sides of the latch are different;

[0014] The key includes a U-shaped body and two integrally formed locking rods. The maximum size of the two locking rods is adapted to the keyholes on both sides, and the minimum size of the two locking rods is different.

[0015] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This application uses a detachable key and lock, which can be unlocked by authorized personnel only, to achieve controllable plug-in / plug-out permission management of data port connectors, prevent network cables from being pulled out or plugged in at will, effectively prevent unauthorized devices from accessing the network, meet the protection needs of high-security fields such as national defense, military industry, government, and finance, and has a simple and practical overall structure.

[0017] In addition, the lock head adopts an integrated design of the fitting tail and the extended top, which covers the buckle without significantly increasing the size, ensuring compatibility with the existing RJ45 interface and not affecting normal insertion and removal operations;

[0018] Meanwhile, the lock adopts a staggered bolt and elastic element design, requiring a specific bolt to match the key to unlock. In addition, the notches on the two sides of the bolt are at different heights, so the bolt can only be unlocked by using a specific bolt to raise the bolt to a specific height, providing a dual locking mechanism with strong anti-cracking capabilities.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a secure data network cable connector, including a terminal 1, with a locking head 2 sleeved at the tail of the terminal 1. The locking head 2 extends to the latching position of the terminal 1 and abuts against the latch. In this way, when the locking head 2 is normally fixed relative to the terminal 1, the end of the locking head 2 will tightly abut against the latching position of the terminal 1, restricting the movement of the latch. This will cause the latch to be unable to be pressed, thus preventing the terminal 1 from disengaging from the interface.

[0030] A lock 3 is provided between the lock head 2 and the end head 1. The purpose of the lock 3 is to restrict the state of the lock head 2 relative to the end head 1, that is, to fix the lock head 2 and the end head 1.

[0031] It also includes a key 4, which is detachably mounted on the lock head 2 and engages with the lock 3. This means that the lock 3 can only be released from the lock head 2 by using the key 4.

[0032] In practical applications, only by first using the key 4 to remove the lock head 2 from the interface, and then moving the lock head 2 on the end 1 and moving the lock head 2 away from the latch on the end 1, can the latch be used to detach the end 1 from the interface, thus restricting the arbitrary insertion and removal of the end 1 from the interface and ensuring high security.

[0033] The detachable design of key 4 is for easy removal, storage, and carrying. Additionally, regarding the practical application of lock cylinder 2 and terminal 1, when wiring terminal 1, the network cable needs to be connected as per the attached instructions. Figure 1 As shown, it passes through lock head 2 and then connects to end head 1 to ensure ease of use.

[0034] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 2 The present invention proposes a technical solution: the lock head 2 includes an integrally formed fitting tail 21 and an extended top 22. The fitting tail 21 is movably fitted onto the tail of the end head 1, and the extended top 22 extends from above the end head 1 and abuts against the inner side of the buckle of the end head 1.

[0035] When end 1 is connected to the interface, the end of end 1 and the position of the latch are mostly inserted into the interface, so there is no suitable space for locking. Therefore, the purpose of the design of the fitting tail 21 is to provide a suitable force position on end 1 after end 1 is connected to the interface. This allows the top head 22 to extend into the interface on end 1 to the latch position and abut against the latch, thereby providing a stable and easy-to-operate restriction structure.

[0036] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 2-4 As shown, the lock 3 includes a lock cylinder 31 fixed to the side of the end 1. The lock cylinder 31 can adopt a conventional snap-fit ​​structure.

[0037] The inner side of the lock cylinder 2 is provided with a groove 32 that matches the size of the lock cylinder 31. The groove 32 is located at the end of the key 4 and extends in the same direction as the fitting direction of the lock cylinder 2 relative to the end 1. When the lock cylinder 2 is fitted onto the end 1, the lock cylinder 31 will enter the groove 32. The inner side of the lock cylinder 2 is also provided with a lock groove 33 that intersects with the groove 32. The lock tongue 34 is slidably provided in the lock groove 33. The lock cylinder 31 and the lock tongue 34 are misaligned and abut against each other. The lock cylinder 31 is located on the side of the lock tongue 34 away from the latch to restrict the movement of the lock cylinder 31 in the groove 32. The lock cylinder 31 cannot move in the groove 32, that is, the lock cylinder 2 relative to the end 1 is fixed and cannot move. The inner side of the lock cylinder 2 is also provided with a lock hole 35 that communicates with the lock groove 33.

[0038] When it is necessary to unlock the lock cylinder 2, inserting the key 4 into the keyhole 35 will push the bolt 34 to move. This allows the unique and matching key 4 to precisely move the bolt 34, thereby canceling the misalignment and resistance of the bolt 34 against the lock cylinder 31. At this time, the lock cylinder 31 can move within the slide groove 32, that is, the lock cylinder 2 can move relative to the end head 1. Pulling the lock cylinder 2 will cancel the latching resistance of the lock cylinder 2 against the end head 1.

[0039] Example 4: Please refer to Figures 4-5 As shown, the bolt 34 is a notch-shaped locking block, the size of which is adapted to the lock cylinder 31, so that it can pass through the bolt 34 when the lock cylinder 31 is aligned with the notch;

[0040] An elastic element 36 is provided in the lock groove 33. Specifically, the elastic element 36 can be a spring or a sheet, etc., with elastic movement and self-resetting ability. The two ends of the elastic element 36 are connected to the lock head 2 and the lock tongue 34 respectively. In the initial locked state, the elastic force of the elastic element 36 drives the lock tongue 34 to maintain a misaligned state with the lock cylinder 31. When the key 4 unlocks the lock tongue 34, the elastic element 36 is compressed by force. At this time, the notch is aligned with the lock cylinder 31, and the lock head 2 can move relative to the end 1. However, it should be noted that the lifting distance of the lock tongue 34 must be a fixed value in order to cancel the lock tongue 34's resistance to the lock cylinder 31. That is, a special key 4 is required. Only in this way can the lock tongue 34 be accurately unlocked when criminals try to open the lock with tools such as wire. If the movement distance of the lock tongue 34 is too much or too little, the unlocking will not be completed.

[0041] Example 5: Please refer to Figures 5-7 As shown, both the bolt 34 and the lock cylinder 31 have two bolts. The notches on the two bolts 34 are at different heights. This design means that the two bolts 34 need to be lifted to different distances when unlocking, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 7 As shown, it can be seen that one of the two keys 4 has a gap in the keyhole 35, that is, the two bolts 34 are pushed up to different distances, and only when the notches at different positions on both sides are aligned with the notches on both sides can the lock be unlocked. With double locking, it is more difficult to be maliciously cracked.

[0042] Furthermore, the key 4 needs to work in conjunction with the bolt 34 and the lock cylinder 31, and includes a U-shaped body 41 and two integrally formed locking rods 42. The U-shaped body 41 is designed to facilitate the synchronous operation of the two locking rods 42, and its surface is treated with an anti-slip coating. The maximum size of the two locking rods 42 is adapted to the keyholes 35 on both sides, while the minimum size of the two locking rods 42 is different. It should be noted that the two keyholes 35 are exactly the same size, and the positions of the two bolts 34 within the keyholes 35 are also exactly the same, which enhances the concealment and makes it more difficult for criminals to discover the substantial differences in the design of the two bolts 34, increasing the difficulty of cracking. In use, the unique locking rods 42 will precisely drive the corresponding bolts 34 to complete precise displacement, thereby completely unlocking the lock.

[0043] Example 6: Please refer to Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the lock head 2 has an opening 5. The diameter of the opening 5 is larger than the diameter of the network cable but smaller than the size of the end head 1. This design ensures that the lock head 2 is stably locked on the end head 1. After the lock head 2 is unlocked from the end head 1, the lock head 2 can be completely removed from the end head 1 and the network cable for replacement. The design of the bolt 34 and locking bar 42 of other models is adopted to prevent criminals from inserting or removing the end head 1 by configuring the key 4 and continuously cracking it, thus enhancing security.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
