Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] This application provides a PON USB network card with a protective structure, which solves the problem that although USB interfaces can be adapted to PON USB network cards, PON USB network cards have higher requirements for the stability of the interface connection position. Ordinary interfaces rely on plug-in connection, and after the USB network card is connected, the interface is prone to loosening or poor contact after a long period of use.

[0028] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] This utility model discloses a USB network card for PON with a protective structure, according to the appendix. Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a dedicated network card connector 1, a network card body 2, a protective post 3, a sleeve 4, and a locking unit 5;

[0031] A dedicated network card connector 1 is installed inside the electronic device and connected to the motherboard. It has a slot end 11 and a first connector plate 12. The slot end 11 is used to plug in the plug end 21 of the network card body 2, and the first connector plate 12 is connected to the second connector plate 22 on the network card body 2.

[0032] The network card body 2 has a plug end 21 and a second mating plate 22. The plug end 21 is movably inserted into the slot end 11 of the network card dedicated mating socket 1, and the second mating plate 22 is mated with the first mating plate 12. In addition, the network card body 2 is also provided with heat dissipation fins 23.

[0033] The design of the plug end 21 and the second mating plate 22 ensures a stable connection between the network card and the dedicated network card connector 1. The heat sink 23 is used to enhance the heat dissipation performance of the network card.

[0034] The protective post 3 is installed on the first docking plate 12, and a locking groove 31 is provided thereon;

[0035] The protective post 3 provides additional physical protection for the network card, preventing damage to the network card body 2 during insertion and removal. The locking slot 31 is used to cooperate with the locking unit 5 to achieve stable fixation of the network card.

[0036] The sleeve 4 is mounted on the second docking plate 22 and sleeved on the protective post 3.

[0037] Sleeve 4 provides a mounting base for locking unit 5 and ensures the stability of protective post 3 during insertion and removal. When network card body 2 mates with network card dedicated connector 1, sleeve 4 automatically fits onto protective post 3.

[0038] The locking unit 5 includes a rotating plate 51, a locking head 52, a pin 53, and a spring 54. The rotating plate 51 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 4, and the locking head 52 is disposed on the rotating plate 51 and movably engaged in the locking groove 31. The pin 53 is used to connect the rotating plate 51 and the sleeve 4, and the spring 54 is fixedly connected between the rotating plate 51 and the sleeve 4.

[0039] By rotating the rotating plate 51, the lock head 52 can engage or disengage from the lock groove 31, thereby locking or unlocking the network card. The spring 54 provides the restoring force for the rotating plate 51, ensuring the stability of the locked state.

[0040] After the network card body 2 is connected to the dedicated network card connector 1, rotating the rotating plate 51 causes the locking head 52 to engage with the locking groove 31, thus locking the network card. To unlock, simply rotate the rotating plate 51 in the opposite direction.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] This utility model discloses a USB network card for PON with a protective structure, according to the appendix. Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a dedicated network card connector 1, a network card body 2, a protective post 3, a sleeve 4, and a locking unit 5;

[0043] The dedicated network card connector 1 is located inside the electronic device and connected to the motherboard. The dedicated network card connector 1 is provided with a slot end 11 and a first connector plate 12.

[0044] The network card body 2 is provided with a plug end 21 and the plug end 21 is movably inserted into the slot end 11. The network card body 2 is provided with a second docking plate 22 that docks with the first docking plate 12.

[0045] The protective column 3 is installed on the first docking plate 12;

[0046] Sleeve 4 is mounted on the second docking plate 22 and sleeved on the protective post 3;

[0047] The locking unit 5 is mounted on the sleeve 4 and is used to lock and limit the protective post 3.

[0048] A circular sealing ring 6 is movably engaged between the first mating plate 12 and the second mating plate 22. A rectangular sealing ring 7 is also movably engaged between the first mating plate 12 and the second mating plate 22, located outside the circular sealing ring 6. The circular sealing ring 6 and the rectangular sealing ring 7 together provide a seal between the mating plates, preventing dust, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the network card and affecting its performance. The engagement of the circular sealing ring 6 and the rectangular sealing ring 7 creates a double-layer seal at the interface between the first mating plate 12 and the second mating plate 22, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection position and providing good sealing and protection at the connection point between the network card dedicated mating seat 1 and the network card body 2.
