Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of network communication, and in particular to a connector. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of network communication, as a key component for data transmission, the design and convenience of use of a network plug directly affect the maintenance and upgrading efficiency of a network system. A conventional network plug is usually equipped with a latch or a sheath structure to ensure stable connection between the network plug and network equipment (such as a switch, a router, a server, etc.), thereby preventing disconnection caused by accidental touching or vibration. In daily use, a user can easily pull out the network plug by manually pressing the latch, thereby realizing quick replacement or maintenance of the network cable.

[0003] However, in some special application scenarios, such as plugging multiple rows of network cables in a server room, the operation mode of the conventional network plug is not satisfactory. Due to the compact internal space structure of the server equipment and the dense layout of the network cables, an operator often cannot directly touch the latch part of the network plug, and cannot effectively press the latch to pull out the network cable. Such space limitation not only increases the difficulty of network maintenance, but also may cause mispulling or damage of adjacent network cables due to improper operation, thereby affecting the stable operation of the entire network system.

[0004] In view of the above problem of inconvenient plugging or replacement of the network cable in the special scenario, although some tentative solutions exist in the prior art, such as auxiliary operation with special tools, these solutions often have disadvantages such as complex operation, low efficiency, or high cost, and are difficult to be widely applied. Therefore, how to design a simple and efficient auxiliary plugging structure module to overcome the use limitation of the conventional network plug in the special scenario has become a technical problem to be solved in the current network communication field.

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplifying the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to the numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, which itself does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present application provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0043] For ease of description, spatially relative terms can be used herein for the purpose of illustrating one element's or feature's relationship to another element or feature within a figure or with respect to the figure as a whole. These spatially relative terms are in

[0044] In some example embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, a connector is adapted to be used in a network device, such as a switch, a router, a server, etc., to achieve simple and efficient connection and disconnection of the connector. Figures 1-4 The connector includes an auxiliary structure 1 and a plug structure 2, and the auxiliary structure 1 is detachably connected to the plug structure 2 to achieve the versatility of the auxiliary structure 1 and match different plug structures 2.

[0045] The plug structure 2 includes an unlocking member 21, and the plug structure 2 can be matched with an external network device, and the unlocking member 21 can be used to achieve locking and unlocking of the plug structure 2 and the external network device. In one embodiment, the unlocking member 21 can be an elastic structure, and when pressure is applied to the unlocking member 21, the shape of the unlocking member 21 can be changed, and thus the locking between the unlocking member 21 and the network device can be released. In another embodiment, the unlocking member 21 can be a sliding block, and when pressure is applied to the unlocking member 21, the position of the unlocking member 21 can be changed, and thus the locking between the unlocking member 21 and the network device can be released.

[0046] The auxiliary structure 1 includes an auxiliary housing 11 and an auxiliary component 12. The auxiliary housing 11 has a through channel 111 that extends through the auxiliary housing 11 and extends in the same direction as the axis of the plug structure 2. At least a portion of the plug structure 2 is housed within the through channel 111, and the auxiliary component 12 is disposed within the through channel 111. The size and shape of the through channel 111 are customized according to the specific size and shape of the plug structure 2 and the auxiliary component 12 to ensure that they can be tightly and stably installed within the auxiliary housing 11. This effectively avoids loosening or instability caused by size mismatch, improving the overall structural strength and stability of the connector. For example, the auxiliary housing 11 has an inner top wall 112, two opposing inner side walls 113, and an inner bottom wall 114 opposite to the inner top wall 112. The inner top wall 112, the inner side walls 113, and the inner bottom wall 114 enclose each other to form a through channel 111, and provide a stable installation and housing space for the plug structure 2 and the auxiliary component 12. This not only protects the internal components from interference and damage from the external environment, but also ensures the reliability and durability of the connector during long-term use.

[0047] The auxiliary component 12 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary housing 11, i.e., the inner wall 113, allowing the auxiliary component 12 to rotate relative to the plug structure 2. This design enables the auxiliary component 12 to apply or release pressure to the unlocking member 21 of the plug structure 2 through rotation, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the plug structure 2. This rotational pressure mechanism is not only easy to operate but also allows for precise control of the magnitude and direction of the pressure applied.

[0048] The auxiliary component 12 has an unlocked position and a locked position relative to the auxiliary housing 11. When the auxiliary component 12 is rotated to the unlocked position, it presses against the unlocking component 21 of the plug structure 2, causing the shape or position of the plug structure 2 to deform, thereby switching to the unlocked state. When the auxiliary component 12 is rotated to the locked position, the plug structure 2 resets, restoring it to its initial state.

[0049] For example, the auxiliary component 12 is configured to run along a first preset direction (refer to...) Figure 1 Rotating in direction A (as shown), when rotated to the unlocked position, the auxiliary component 12 applies pressure to the unlocking component 21 of the plug structure 2. This pressure causes the plug structure 2 to switch to the unlocked state, preparing it for disassembly. In actual operation, the operator can easily achieve this state switch by rotating the auxiliary component 12.

[0050] The auxiliary component 12 is set along the second preset direction (refer to...) Figure 1When rotated to the locking position, the auxiliary member 12 will reset and release the pressure on the unlocking member 21 of the plug structure 2. At this time, the plug structure 2 will switch back to the initial state, preparing for the next installation or maintaining the current connection state. This flexible state switching mechanism enables the connector to adapt to different usage requirements.

[0051] The first preset direction is, for example, counterclockwise, and the second preset direction is, for example, clockwise; or the first preset direction is, for example, clockwise, and the second preset direction is, for example, counterclockwise, depending on the actual situation.

[0052] In actual application, when the connector needs to be disassembled, the operator only needs to rotate the auxiliary member 12 to apply pressure to the unlocking member 21 of the plug structure 2 along the first preset direction. The plug structure 2 switches to the unlocked state under the action of pressure and can easily retreat from the network device. Conversely, when installation or connection is required, the operator only needs to rotate the auxiliary member 12 along the second preset direction to reset and release the pressure. At this time, the plug structure 2 will switch back to the initial state and establish a stable electrical connection with the network device. This design greatly simplifies the disassembly and installation process of the connector, improves operational efficiency, and reduces labor intensity.

[0053] Because the auxiliary member 12 is rotationally connected to the auxiliary housing 11, i.e., the inner side wall 113, this structure can maintain stable performance and reliable connection during long-term use. At the same time, the rotation and pressure application mechanism of the auxiliary member 12 also ensures the stability and accuracy of the plug structure 2 during installation and disassembly.

[0054] The connector in this embodiment, through the coordinated action of the auxiliary housing 11, the plug structure 2, and the auxiliary member 12, realizes a simple and efficient connection and disassembly process, and is particularly suitable for special occasions where space is limited or network cables need to be frequently replaced. Because the disassembly and installation process of the connector becomes simple and fast, the use convenience can be significantly improved in actual use. The operator can easily complete the disassembly and installation of the connector without complex tools or skills. The rotation and pressure application mechanism of the auxiliary member 12 of the connector ensures the stability and reliability of the connector during long-term use. This design enables the connector to adapt to various harsh working environments and usage conditions, ensuring the continuous stability of network connection.

[0055] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-4 The auxiliary member 12 includes a shaft body 121 and a driving portion 123, which work together to achieve convenient disassembly and reset of the plug structure 2 of the connector.

[0056] The shaft body 121 is a core supporting component of the auxiliary part 12, and is rotationally connected with the auxiliary shell 11, that is, the inner side wall 113. Exemplarily, the two inner side walls 113 are respectively provided with first through holes 1131, and the two ends of the shaft body 121 are arranged in the corresponding first through holes 1131, so that the rotation connection between the shaft body 121 and the auxiliary shell 11 is realized. The shaft body 121 provides a stable supporting structure for the auxiliary part 12, and ensures the stability and accuracy of the auxiliary part 12 in the rotation process.

[0057] The driving part 123 is sleeved on the shaft body 121 and synchronously rotates with the shaft body 121. The driving part 123 is designed to be capable of directly interacting with the plug structure 2, so as to realize the state switching of the plug structure 2.

[0058] When it is needed to disassemble the connector, an operator rotates the auxiliary part 12 along a first preset direction by an external tool or manually, rotates to an unlocking position, and one end of the driving part 123 is in pressure connection with the plug structure 2.

[0059] When the one end of the driving part 123 is out of pressure connection with the plug structure 2, that is, the auxiliary part 12 is unloaded, the driving part 123 rotates along a second preset direction. With the rotation of the driving part 123, it gradually retreats from the unlocking part 21 of the plug structure 2, and when it rotates to a locking position, the unlocking part 21 of the plug structure 2 returns to the initial state, and is ready for the next installation or maintains the current connection state.

[0060] In the embodiment, through the design of the auxiliary part 12, the operator only needs to simply rotate the auxiliary part 12 to realize the disassembly of the plug structure 2, without the need of complex tools or skills, and the operation convenience is greatly improved. In actual application, by adjusting the length of the shaft body 121 and the shape of the driving part 123 and the like, the working performance and application range of the auxiliary part 12 can be flexibly adjusted, so as to meet the needs of different types and specifications of network equipment. The auxiliary part 12 in the embodiment has wide applicability, and can be applied to various connectors which need to be frequently disassembled and installed, so as to improve the universality and market competitiveness of the connector.

[0061] Among them, the rotation of the driving part 123 along the second preset direction can be based on the rotation of the operator, or the automatic rotation of the driving part 123, so as to realize the convenience.

[0062] In some embodiments, one end of the driving part 123 is provided with a spring (not shown in the figure) for example, one end of the spring is connected with the driving part 123, and the other end of the spring is connected with the inner top wall 112 of the auxiliary shell 11. When the driving part 123 rotates along the first preset direction, the spring is deformed and stores elastic potential energy, and when the external force is removed, the spring releases the elastic potential energy and resets, and pulls the driving part 123 to rotate along the second preset direction, so as to realize the reset.

[0063] In some other embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-4 The elastic member 122 is sleeved on the shaft body 121, and one end of the elastic member 122 abuts against the inner top wall 112 of the auxiliary housing 11. The elastic member 122 is, for example, a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the shaft body 121, and one end of the torsion spring abuts against the inner top wall 112 of the auxiliary housing 11 to provide a restoring force for the auxiliary member 12. In this way, the design of the elastic member 122 not only provides the restoring force for the auxiliary member 12, but also buffers the external impact force to some extent, thereby protecting the plug structure 2 and the auxiliary member 12 from damage and enhancing the overall stability of the connector.

[0064] When it is necessary to disassemble the connector, an operator rotates the auxiliary member 12 in a first preset direction by means of an external tool or manually, rotates to an unlocking position, and presses one end of the driving portion 123 against the plug structure 2. In this process, the inner top wall 112 of the auxiliary housing 11 and one end of the torsion spring abut against each other, the torsion spring is deformed and stores elastic potential energy.

[0065] When one end of the driving portion 123 is disengaged from the plug structure 2, that is, when the external force is removed from the auxiliary member 12, the elastic member 122 releases the elastic potential energy and returns to the original position under the abutting action between the inner top wall 112 of the auxiliary housing 11 and the torsion spring. The restoring force of the torsion spring drives the shaft body 121 to rotate, and the shaft body 121 drives the driving portion 123 to rotate in a second preset direction. With the rotation of the driving portion 123, it gradually retreats from the unlocking member 21 of the plug structure 2, and when it rotates to a locking position, the unlocking member 21 of the plug structure 2 returns to the original state, ready for the next installation or maintaining the current connection state.

[0066] In this embodiment, through the design of the auxiliary member 12, an operator only needs to simply rotate the auxiliary member 12 to disassemble the plug structure 2, without the need for complex tools or skills, thereby greatly improving the operation convenience. When the external force is removed from the auxiliary member 12, the elastic member 122 can quickly return to the original position and drive the driving portion 123 to rotate, so that the plug structure 2 quickly returns to the original state, ready for the next installation.

[0067] Since the restoring process of the auxiliary member 12 is realized by the elastic member 122, the direct friction and wear between mechanical components are reduced, and the service life of the connector is prolonged. The direct interaction between the driving portion 123 and the plug structure 2 ensures that the plug structure 2 can accurately and reliably switch to the unlocking state or the original state, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connector.

[0068] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-4As shown, the driving part 123 includes a sleeve body 1231 and a first supporting body 1232, the sleeve body 1231 is the main part of the driving part 123, and the sleeve body 1231 is sleeved on the shaft body 121, so that the sleeve body 1231 can closely follow the shaft body 121 to rotate synchronously. The inner diameter of the sleeve body 1231 matches the outer diameter of the shaft body 121, ensuring the smoothness and stability of rotation between the two, reducing structural instability or wear caused by looseness or shaking.

[0069] The first supporting body 1232 is connected with the sleeve body 1231, specifically, arranged along the radial direction of the sleeve body 1231, and the first supporting body 1232 is fixedly connected with the sleeve body 1231. This connection not only improves the connection reliability between the first supporting body 1232 and the sleeve body 1231, but also ensures that the first supporting body 1232 can maintain a stable posture and strength when rotating with the sleeve body 1231. Among them, the sleeve body 1231 and the first supporting body 1232 and other key components can be made of high-strength and wear-resistant materials, further improving the service life and durability of the driving part 123.

[0070] The first supporting body 1232 is arranged to be rotatable relative to the plug structure 2, and when the first supporting body 1232 rotates in a first preset direction, it can directly apply pressure to the unlocking piece 21 of the plug structure 2, realize the pressure connection between the first supporting body 1232 and the plug structure 2, and further realize the state switching of the plug structure 2.

[0071] When the shaft body 121 rotates under the action of external force, the sleeve body 1231 will rotate synchronously, thereby driving the first supporting body 1232 to rotate. This cooperative working mode enables the driving part 123 to accurately transmit external force to the plug structure 2, realizing its state switching.

[0072] The sleeve body 1231 is provided with a first avoiding through hole 12311 to avoid the elastic piece 122. The first avoiding through hole 12311 can expose part of the structure of the shaft body 121 to facilitate the installation and positioning of the elastic piece 122. Among them, the first avoiding through hole 12311 is located at the middle position of the sleeve body 1231, when the elastic piece 122 and the inner top wall 112 of the auxiliary shell 11 resist each other, the balance can be maintained, and the structural instability or wear caused by eccentric force can be avoided.

[0073] When the connector needs to be disassembled, the operator rotates the auxiliary piece 12 to make the driving part 123 rotate in a first preset direction. In this process, the first supporting body 1232 gradually approaches and applies pressure to the unlocking piece 21 of the plug structure 2, forcing it to switch to the unlocked state.

[0074] When the auxiliary part 12 is unloaded, the elastic part 122 releases the elastic potential energy and resets, driving the shaft body 121 and the ring body 1231 to rotate along the second preset direction. At this time, the first supporting body 1232 gradually retreats from the plug structure 2, and the unlocking part 21 of the plug structure 2 restores to the initial state under the elastic action of itself.

[0075] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-4 The inner top wall 112 of the auxiliary shell 11 is provided with a second avoiding through hole 1121 to avoid the auxiliary part 12, specifically to avoid the driving part 123, more specifically to avoid the first supporting body 1232 and the ring body 1231, and reserve space for the auxiliary part 12 to ensure that the auxiliary part 12 can rotate normally. Among them, the rotation of the auxiliary part 12 can be realized in different ways based on actual conditions.

[0076] First example

[0077] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 The auxiliary shell 11 is provided with a push plate 118, which is in sliding connection with the auxiliary shell 11 to cover or expose the second avoiding through hole 1121. Among them, the push plate 118 is arranged on the outside of the auxiliary shell 11 and can slide relative to the second avoiding through hole 1121. The push plate 118 and the auxiliary shell 11 can be connected by the cooperation structure of slide rail and slide groove, or other connection forms that can realize relative sliding.

[0078] When it is needed to cover the second avoiding through hole 1121 with the push plate 118, the push plate 118 is moved along the predetermined sliding direction by external force (such as manual pushing, mechanical driving, etc.). During the sliding process of the push plate 118, when it covers the second avoiding through hole 1121, the push plate 118 will interact with the auxiliary part 12. Specifically, the push plate 118 will drive the first supporting body 1232 of the auxiliary part 12 to rotate along the first preset direction during the sliding process. With the rotation of the first supporting body 1232, it will exert pressure on the unlocking part 21 of the plug structure 2. This pressure can change the state of the unlocking part 21, for example, make the unlocking part 21 elastically deform or displace, so as to realize some control or operation on the plug structure 2, such as making the unlocking part 21 separate from the network equipment and prepare, etc.

[0079] When it is necessary to expose the second escape hole 1121 of the push plate 118, the push plate 118 is also slid in the opposite direction by external force. With the sliding of the push plate 118, it gradually retreats from the first branch body 1232 of the auxiliary piece 12. At this time, the elastic piece 122 begins to play a role. The elastic piece 122 is in a compressed or stretched state when the push plate 118 drives the first branch body 1232 to rotate, and when the push plate 118 retreats, the elastic piece 122 resets. The reset of the elastic piece 122 drives the shaft body 121 to rotate, and the rotation of the shaft body 121 in turn drives the first branch body 1232 to rotate in the second preset direction. The rotation of the first branch body 1232 in the second preset direction releases the pressure of the unlocking piece 21, and the unlocking piece 21 returns to the initial state, realizing the clamping of the network equipment and the like.

[0080] The rotation of the auxiliary piece 12 is controlled by the sliding of the push plate 118, and in turn the pressure or release of pressure is applied to the unlocking piece 21, which can realize the precise operation of the plug structure 2. This precise control can perform different operations on the plug structure 2 at different time points according to actual needs, for example, applying pressure to make the unlocking piece 21 separate from the network equipment when pulling out the plug, and releasing the pressure to make the unlocking piece 21 return to the clamping state when inserting or fixing the plug, which improves the accuracy and reliability of the operation of the plug structure 2.

[0081] The structure only realizes the control of the plug structure 2 through the sliding of the push plate 118, the rotation of the first branch body 1232 and the reset of the elastic piece 122 and the like. This simple structure design not only reduces the manufacturing cost, but also is convenient to operate, without complex operation steps and professional skills, and users can easily operate the plug structure 2.

[0082] The setting of the elastic piece 122 ensures that after the push plate 118 retreats, the auxiliary piece 12 can automatically return to the initial position, so that the unlocking piece 21 can accurately return to the normal working state. This automatic reset function avoids the instability of the plug structure 2 caused by improper human operation or external interference, improves the stability and reliability of the equipment, and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0083] Second example

[0084] As Figures 1-4 , Figure 7As shown, the drive unit 123 also includes a second support 1233, which is connected to the collar 1231. The second support 1233 is arranged along another radial direction of the collar 1231, such that there is a preset angle between the first support 1232 and the second support 1233. The first support 1232, the second support 1233, and the collar 1231 form a V-shaped structure, with the first support 1232 and the second support 1233 resembling the two sides of the V, and the collar 1231 resembling the apex of the V. When one of the first support 1232 and the second support 1233 is rotated, the other will rotate accordingly based on the lever or seesaw principle. For example, when a rotational force is applied to the first support 1232, the second support 1233 will rotate in the opposite direction under the action of the lever or seesaw principle; and vice versa.

[0085] An open area 1234 is formed between the first support 1232 and the second support 1233, and the plug structure 2 is located within the open area 1234. Exemplarily, the plug body 21 of the plug structure 2 is located within the open area 1234, and the unlocking member 21 is located within the open area 1234 and abuts against the first support 1232, so that the first support 1232 and the unlocking member 21 can be crimped together.

[0086] The second support 1233 abuts against a side wall of the plug structure 2 along its axial direction, and the second support 1233 is provided with a third clearance through hole 12331. A part of the plug structure 2 can move through the third clearance through hole 12331, and the third clearance through hole 12331 can avoid the external cable 23 of the plug structure 2.

[0087] When the auxiliary housing 11 is positioned along the first direction (refer to...) Figure 3 When the second support 1233 moves (e.g., slides) in the X direction, it abuts against the plug structure 2. As the auxiliary housing 11 continues to move, the second support 1233 and the plug structure 2 resist each other. Since the position of the plug structure 2 is relatively fixed, the second support 1233 can no longer move in the first direction. At this time, this resistance will cause the auxiliary component 12 to rotate in the first preset direction, that is, the second support 1233 drives the first support 1232 to rotate. The rotation of the auxiliary component 12 will cause the first support 1232 to press down, and the first support 1232 will then apply pressure to the unlocking component 21 of the plug structure 2. Under the pressure, the unlocking component 21 will undergo elastic deformation or position change, causing the plug structure 2 to switch to the unlocked state, which facilitates the separation of the plug structure 2 from the network device.

[0088] The auxiliary housing 11 is configured along the second direction (refer to) Figure 3When the auxiliary structure 1 moves along the second direction (e.g., the Y direction shown), the second branch body 1233 retreats from the plug structure 2. At this time, the elastic member 122 begins to function, and since the elastic member 122 was in a deformed state when the first branch body 1232 was pressed down before, the elastic member 122 resets when the second branch body 1233 retreats. The resetting of the elastic member 122 drives the shaft body 121 to rotate, and the rotation of the shaft body 121 in turn drives the first branch body 1232 to rotate along the second preset direction. The first branch body 1232 is lifted and no longer presses the unlocking member 21 of the plug structure 2, and the unlocking member 21 returns to the initial state, so that the plug structure 2 can be re-coupled and fixed with the network device. The first direction and the second direction are both the same as the axis direction of the plug structure 2, and the first direction and the second direction are oppositely arranged.

[0089] By utilizing the V-like structure and the lever or seesaw principle, the function of driving one of the first branch body 1232 or the second branch body 1233 to rotate by pushing the other one is realized. This design simplifies the operation structure, reduces additional transmission components, reduces the complexity and manufacturing cost of the structure, and improves the convenience of operation.

[0090] The movement of the auxiliary housing 11 along different directions can accurately control the state switching of the plug structure 2. When moving along the first direction, the plug structure 2 can be switched to the unlocked state; when moving along the second direction, the plug structure 2 can be restored to the coupled state. This precise control can meet the use requirements in different scenarios and improve the applicability and reliability of the device.

[0091] The setting of the elastic member 122 ensures that the first branch body 1232 can automatically return to the initial position when the movement direction of the auxiliary housing 11 changes, so that the plug structure 2 can accurately return to the normal working state. This automatic reset function avoids the problem of unstable state of the plug structure 2 caused by improper operation or external interference, and improves the stability and reliability of the device.

[0092] In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the auxiliary structure 1 includes a first branch body 1232 and a second branch body 1233. The first branch body 1232 and the second branch body 1233 are arranged in the auxiliary housing 11 and are connected to each other through the shaft body 121. The first branch body 1232 and the second branch body 1233 are arranged in the auxiliary housing 11 in a manner that can rotate relative to each other, and the first branch body 1232 and the second branch body 1233 are arranged in the auxiliary housing 11 in a manner that can move along the first direction and the second direction. Figures 1-4 Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1, the auxiliary structure 1 includes a stop body 117 arranged in the through channel 111. The stop body 117 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary housing 11, and its shape and size are designed according to actual requirements, for example, it can be plate-shaped, block-shaped, column-shaped, etc. The position of the stop body 117 is accurately calculated to ensure that it can abut against the second branch body 1233 when the second branch body 1233 retreats from the plug structure 2 and rotates to a certain angle.

[0093] ​The stop body 117 is located in the open area 1234, that is, the second branch 1233 and the first branch 1232 are located on both sides of the thickness direction of the stop body 117, and the extension direction of the stop body 117 is consistent with the axis direction of the plug structure 2. The stop body 117 may be located at the middle position of the second branch 1233 and the first branch 1232, or it may be close to the second branch 1233. The specific position is subject to the actual situation, as long as one end of the stop body 117 can realize abutment or separation with the second branch 1233.

[0094] When the auxiliary shell 11 moves in the second direction, the second branch 1233 gradually retreats from the plug structure 2. With the rotation of the auxiliary part 12, the second branch 1233 continues to rotate, and when it rotates to a certain angle, the second branch 1233 will abut against the stop body 117. This abutment is a physical blocking action, and the stop body 117 will prevent the second branch 1233 from continuing to rotate in the second preset direction.

[0095] Since the stop body 117 prevents the second branch 1233 from continuing to rotate in the second preset direction, and the auxiliary part 12, the first branch 1232 and the second branch 1233 are a linked whole structure, the stop body 117 actually indirectly prevents the auxiliary part 12 from continuing to rotate in the second preset direction. This ensures that the first branch 1232 can always be in contact with the plug structure 2. Even without external force, the first branch 1232 will not be separated from the plug structure 2 due to excessive rotation of the auxiliary part 12. Thus, the situation that the auxiliary part 12 is separated from the plug structure 2, resulting in subsequent inability to press the unlocking part 21 of the plug structure 2, is avoided.

[0096] The setting of the stop body 117 enhances the stability of the whole structure, which limits the rotation angle of the auxiliary part 12, so that the first branch 1232 can always stably contact and connect with the plug structure 2. This stability is crucial for the normal operation of the plug structure 2, especially when the device is subjected to external disturbances such as vibration and shaking, which can ensure the stability of the relative position between the plug structure 2 and the auxiliary part 12, and ensure that the pressing operation of the unlocking part 21 can be accurately and reliably performed.

[0097] By preventing the auxiliary part 12 from over-rotating and separating from the plug structure 2, the stop body 117 improves the reliability of the operation. During normal use of the device, the operator does not need to worry about the auxiliary part 12 being separated from the plug structure 2 due to accidental situations, thereby ensuring that the unlocking and locking operations of the plug structure 2 can be smoothly performed. This helps to reduce the occurrence of device failures and improve the overall performance and reliability of the device.

[0098] The design of the stop body 117 is a simple and effective structural optimization method, which does not require complex mechanical structures or additional control devices. By arranging the stop body 117 in the through channel 111, the rotation angle of the auxiliary part 12 is limited. This optimization design not only reduces the manufacturing cost, but also improves the compactness and integration of the structure, making the entire device more compact and portable.

[0099] As shown in Figure 6 The end of the stop body 117 near the shaft body 121 is provided with a cut corner 1171, which abuts against the second branch body 1233 when the auxiliary part 12 is in the locked position. The cut corner 1171 can form a face-to-face abutment with the second branch body 1233 to improve the stability during abutment and avoid damaging the second branch body 1233 or the stop body 117 with sharp edges, thereby improving the safety of the connector and effectively prolonging the service life of the connector.

[0100] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-8 The side of the auxiliary housing 11 is provided with an opening 1132, which communicates with the through channel 111. For example, one of the inner side walls or inner bottom walls of the auxiliary housing 11 is provided with an opening 1132, which communicates with the through channel 111 through the inner side wall or inner bottom wall, so that the plug structure 2 can be installed into the through channel 111 through the opening 1132, improving the convenience during installation.

[0101] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-4 The plug structure 2 is at least partially arranged in the through channel 111, and the plug structure 2 is a key part for electrical connection between the connector and the network device, and the other part is used for connection with the network device. The plug structure 2 has an initial state and an unlocked state. In the initial state, the components of the plug structure 2 are in a stable position, ready to establish an electrical connection with the network device, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection. In the unlocked state, the components of the plug structure 2 are adjusted to position, so that it can retreat from the network device, thereby achieving disassembly. This design makes the disassembly process of the connector simple and efficient.

[0102] The initial state can be the original form when not installed, or the installed form when installed in the network device. In the initial state, the components of the plug structure 2 are in a stable position, ready to establish an electrical connection with the network device. When the plug structure 2 needs to be disassembled or replaced, it will switch to the unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the components of the plug structure 2 are adjusted to position, so that it can retreat from the network device, thereby achieving disassembly. Since the plug structure 2 can quickly switch between the initial state and the unlocked state, the efficiency of connection and disassembly can be significantly improved in actual application.

[0103] Exemplarily, the plug structure 2 comprises a plug body 23 and a plug spring 22, the plug spring 22 is configured as the unlocking piece 21 to facilitate the unlocking state and the initial state of the plug structure 2. The plug spring 22 has a free end 221 and a fixed end 222, the plug spring 22 is connected with the plug body 23 through the fixed end 222, and can be stably connected with the plug body 23 through integral molding, welding or other reliable connection modes, so as to ensure that the two will not be separated during normal use. This connection mode ensures that the plug spring 22 can move around the fixed end 222 as a fulcrum when subjected to external force.

[0104] Part of the structure of the plug body 23 is accommodated in the through channel 111 from one end of the through channel 111, the free end 221 abuts against the auxiliary piece 12, and the free end 221 is ensured to move along a predetermined trajectory to avoid movement deviation or jamming. An external cable 3 is connected, one end of the cable 3 passes through the other end of the through channel 111, smoothly penetrates into the inside of the through channel 111, and is fixedly connected with the plug body 23 to ensure good electrical conduction performance between the cable 3 and the plug body 23, thereby realizing stable transmission of electrical signals.

[0105] The free end 221 of the plug spring 22 has a movement characteristic under external force. When it is necessary to pull out the plug structure 2, an external force is applied to the free end 221 of the plug spring 22 to make it move relative to the plug body 23. With the movement of the free end 221, the relative position between the plug spring 22 and the plug body 23 changes, and when the plug spring 22 is attached to the plug body 23, the plug structure 2 is in a state of being able to retreat from the network device, and the operator can easily pull out the plug structure 2 from the network device.

[0106] When the external force applied to the free end 221 is removed, the plug spring 22 resets by virtue of its own elastic restoring force. The reset free end 221 is clamped with the network device. This clamping action can effectively limit the movement of the plug structure 2, prevent the plug structure 2 from being separated from the network device due to external factors such as slight vibration and pulling, and thus ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the plug structure 2 and the network device.

[0107] The reset clamping mechanism of the plug spring 22 provides additional fixing force for the connection between the plug structure 2 and the network device. This clamping action can effectively resist external interference forces such as vibration and pulling, and ensure that the plug structure 2 and the network device always maintain stable electrical connection. Even in harsh working environments, stable transmission of electrical signals can be ensured, and problems such as signal interruption and poor contact caused by loose connection can be reduced, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the entire electrical connection system.

[0108] In order to better fix the plug structure 2, the through channel 111 includes a first section 115 and a second section 116, the size of the first section 115 is larger than that of the second section 116, the first section 115 is arranged to accommodate the plug body 23, and the second section 116 is arranged to accommodate the cable 3. One end of the cable 3 can enter into the first section 115 and be fixedly connected with the plug body 23. The size of the first section 115 is matched with the plug body 23, and the second section 116 is matched with the cable 3 to achieve close connection and effectively improve the stability during connection.

[0109] The connector in the embodiment can quickly switch between the initial state and the unlocked state, and the auxiliary part 12 applies pressure through the rotating pressing mechanism, so that the operator does not need complicated tools or skills, and can easily realize the disassembly and installation of the connector by simply rotating the auxiliary part, greatly improving the operation efficiency and reducing the labor intensity, and being particularly suitable for occasions where the space is limited or the network cable needs to be frequently replaced.
