[0002] Network connectors are interface components used to establish physical links between electronic devices to enable data transmission. Common types include RJ45 (Ethernet), fiber optic (such as LC / SC), and USB. They connect network cables or optical fibers through standardized interface designs (such as plugs and sockets) to ensure stable signal transmission. They are widely used in computer networks, communication equipment, and industrial control, and support different speeds (such as Gigabit Ethernet) and transmission media (twisted pair, optical fiber). They are the basic hardware units of modern digital communication.

Therefore, this application provides a connector protection mechanism to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a connector protection mechanism to solve the problem that existing network connectors generally do not have electromagnetic interference protection, resulting in poor performance in harsh environments such as industrial and automotive applications.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A connector protection mechanism includes a metal shielding shell wrapped around the outer surface of a network connector. A grounding metal plate for abutting against the surface of the network connector is elastically installed on the inner top wall of the metal shielding shell. One end of the metal shielding shell is open and has two sliding plates symmetrically slidably installed. The other end of the metal shielding shell is provided with a sealing cover corresponding to the network cable interface of the network connector. A sealing cap is hinged to the top of the sealing cap. A second groove is formed at the same end of the sealing cap and the sealing cover to mate with each other. The sealing cap and the sealing cap mate to cover the network cable interface of the network connector.

[0007] Optionally, the upper surface of the metal shielding shell is fixed with several heat dissipation fins.

[0008] Optionally, the two sliding plates are provided with first grooves symmetrically in the middle of their opposite ends, and the two first grooves are joined together to form a circular hole for the cable to pass through.

[0012] Optionally, one end of the positioning block protrudes from the side of the sealing cover and is hemispherical, while the other end of the positioning block is fixed with a spring and fixed to the inside of the sealing cover to form an elastic installation.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In the above solution, thanks to the combination of metal shielding shell, sliding plate, sealing cover and sealing cap, it can be adapted to wrap the network connector to provide metal shielding for the network connector, thereby improving network performance.

Those skilled in the art can adjust or modify these devices and environments according to specific needs. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The connector protection mechanism provided by this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art can also use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; moreover, the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0026] It should be noted that the use of terms such as "an embodiment," "an embodiment," "an exemplary embodiment," and "some embodiments" in the specification indicates that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments (whether explicitly described or not) should be within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0027] Generally, terms can be understood at least partly from their use in context. For example, depending at least partly on the context, the term "one or more" as used herein can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic in a singular sense, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics in a plural sense. Additionally, the term "based on" can be understood not necessarily to convey an exclusive set of factors, but rather, alternatively, depending at least partly on the context, to allow for the presence of other factors that are not necessarily explicitly described.

[0028] It is understood that the meanings of “on”, “above”, and “above” in this utility model should be interpreted in the broadest manner, such that “on” not only means “directly on” something, but also includes the meaning of being “on” something with an intervening feature or layer, and that “above” or “above” not only means “on” something, but also includes the meaning of being “on” something without an intervening feature or layer.

[0029] Furthermore, spatially related terms such as “below,” “under,” “lower,” “above,” and “upper” are used herein for convenience to describe the relationship of one element or feature to one or more other elements or features, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Spatially related terms are intended to cover different orientations in the use or operation of the device other than those depicted in the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a connector protection mechanism, including a metal shielding shell 2 wrapped around the outer surface of a network connector 1. The inner top wall of the metal shielding shell 2 is elastically mounted with a grounding metal piece 201 for abutting against the metal surface of the network connector 1 by a torque spring, which can ensure the contact effect with the network connector 1. It can form a grounding with the grounding pin inside the network connector 1. Furthermore, a number of heat dissipation fins 202 are fixed on the upper end surface of the metal shielding shell 2 to ensure the heat dissipation effect after the metal shielding shell 2 wraps around the network connector 1.

[0031] The metal shielding shell 2 has an open end and two sliding plates 3 are symmetrically slidably installed. The two sliding plates 3 have symmetrical first wire grooves 301 in the middle of their opposite ends. The two first wire grooves 301 are mated together to form a round hole for the cable to pass through, which can seal one end of the metal shielding shell 2.

[0032] The other end of the metal shielding shell 2 is provided with a sealing cover 4 corresponding to the network cable interface of the network connector 1. A sealing cap 5 is hinged to the top of the sealing cover 4. A second groove 6 is formed at the same end of the sealing cap 5 and the sealing cover 4, and the sealing cover 4 and the sealing cap 5 cover the network cable interface of the network connector 1. In specific implementation, the two second grooves 6 are mated to form a circular hole for the network cable to pass through, and a support pad 7 is fitted on the inner side of each of the two second grooves 6. Therefore, the sealing cap 5 and the sealing cover 4 can be used to further seal the other end of the metal shielding shell 2, thereby achieving metal enclosure to resist electromagnetic interference.

[0033] In addition, positioning pieces 501 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the sealing cover 5, and positioning blocks 401 are elastically installed on both sides of the sealing cover 4 corresponding to the positions of the positioning pieces 501. Positioning holes 502 adapted to the positioning blocks 401 are opened in the middle of the inner side of the positioning pieces 501. In specific implementation, one end of the positioning block 401 protrudes outside the side of the sealing cover 4 and is hemispherical, while the other end of the positioning block 401 is fixed with a spring 402 and fixed to the inside of the sealing cover 4, forming an elastic installation. Therefore, the cooperation between the positioning blocks 401 and the positioning pieces 501 can be used to ensure the sealing effect of the sealing cover 5 after it is closed, achieving a certain degree of limiting effect.

[0034] The working principle provided by this utility model is as follows: When using this connector protection mechanism, the network connector 1 is covered by one end of the metal shielding shell 2 with the sliding plate 3, and then the network cable connector is inserted into the interface of the network connector 1 through the sealing cover 4. The sealing cover 4 is covered by the sealing cover 5. At this time, the grounding metal piece 201 will abut against the outer metal surface of the network connector 1 and cooperate with the grounding pin provided in the network connector 1 to ground, thereby making the metal shielding shell 2 form a metal shield for the network connector 1, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving network conditions.

[0035] Meanwhile, the heat dissipation fins 202 provided on the surface of the metal shielding shell 2 can ensure heat dissipation while the network connector 1 is sealed by the slide plate 3, sealing cover 4, and sealing cap 5, which is conducive to ensuring the normal use of the network connector 1.

[0036] In summary, this device can provide metal-sealed shielding for network connector 1 while ensuring heat dissipation, thereby avoiding electromagnetic interference to a certain extent and achieving good performance.

Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
