Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of network connection equipment technology, and in particular to a network port socket with a shorting plate. Background Technology

[0002] In network communication equipment, commonly used RJ45 connectors include 6P2C (6 slots, 2 pins) and 8P8C (8 slots, 8 pins), which are widely used in various application scenarios. With the diversification of network communication needs, more and more devices require support for multiple types of RJ45 connectors. To meet this demand, many network port sockets compatible with different types of RJ45 connectors have appeared on the market.

[0003] In the prior art, patent CN202423732U discloses a network communication socket with a short-circuit device, used in conjunction with an 8P8C crystal head. It has a built-in short-circuit piece that connects the second spring contact (data transmission negative terminal) and the seventh spring contact (no-load). When the network communication socket is no-load, it can eliminate line interference caused by signal disturbances. For example, during thunderstorms, due to the electromagnetic induction of lightning, induced current in the signal transmission line has nowhere to dissipate, which can interfere with the entire line. When the 8P8C crystal head is inserted into the socket, the eight copper contacts simultaneously press down on the second and seventh spring contacts, separating them from the short-circuit piece, thus enabling normal use.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, when a 6P2C RJ45 connector is inserted into a network socket with a shorting tab, the connector only has two copper contacts, and these contacts do not press down on the second and seventh spring contacts. Therefore, the shorting tab will keep the two contacts connected, affecting the normal use of the network socket. Consequently, it is not compatible with both 6P2C and 8P8C RJ45 connectors. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a network port socket with a shorting plate, which can solve the problem of incompatibility between 6P2C and 8P8C RJ45 connectors.

[0006] The network socket with a shorting plate provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A network socket with a shorting tab includes a socket housing and eight elastic inner pins disposed within the socket housing. The eight elastic inner pins include a second inner pin and a seventh inner pin arranged in sequence. The socket housing also includes a shorting tab that simultaneously contacts the upper ends of the second and seventh inner pins, enabling them to conduct electricity. Each of the second and seventh inner pins has a protrusion facing the side that contacts the copper contacts of the RJ45 connector. The protrusion is located on the upper section of the second and seventh inner pins near their ends. When an 8P8C RJ45 connector is inserted into the socket housing, the lower end of the copper contacts of the connector presses against the second and seventh inner pins, causing them to bend downwards and separate from the shorting tab. When a 6P2C RJ45 connector is inserted into the socket housing, the front end of the plastic body of the connector can press against the protrusion, causing the second and seventh inner pins to bend downwards and separate from the shorting tab.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the plastic structure of the crystal head itself is used to squeeze the protrusions on the second and seventh inner pins, replacing the method of squeezing the elastic inner pins with copper sheets. This allows the 6P2C crystal head to press the second and seventh inner pins downwards when inserted into the socket housing, ensuring that they are separated from the shorting piece. As a result, the socket housing in this solution is compatible with both 6P2C and 8P8C crystal heads.

[0009] Optionally, the boss is an arched structure with a convex upper part and a concave lower part; the boss is formed by bending a section of material from the second inner needle and the seventh inner needle.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the boss can be directly formed on the basis of the original inner needle structure without adding materials and parts, and the process is simple and convenient.

[0011] Optionally, the boss is trapezoidal, triangular, or arc-shaped, and a guide slope is provided on the side of the boss facing the opening of the socket housing.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide bevel is used to guide the crystal head to contact the boss, which facilitates the crystal head to press down on the second inner pin and the seventh inner pin.

[0013] Optionally, a filling structure is provided in the groove at the bottom of the boss.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the structural strength and bending resistance of the boss are enhanced by the filling structure, which significantly improves the stability and durability of the boss under stress. This not only improves the overall reliability of the network socket, but also extends the service life of the product, allowing it to maintain good performance during frequent plugging and unplugging and long-term use.

[0015] Optionally, the boss is a convex and thinned sheet structure; the boss is formed by extrusion of a section of material from the second inner needle and the seventh inner needle.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the boss can be directly formed on the basis of the original inner needle structure without adding materials and parts, and the process is simple and convenient.

[0017] Optionally, the shorting piece is disposed on the back of the socket housing; the shorting piece includes a fixing part and two contact parts, and the back of the socket housing is provided with a fixing hole for the fixing part to be inserted and fixed; the two contact parts extend above the ends of the second inner pin and the seventh inner pin respectively, and the two contact parts contact the ends of the second inner pin and the seventh inner pin respectively.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the shorting piece can be detachably connected to the socket housing, and it is located on the back of the socket housing to facilitate the assembly of the shorting piece.

[0019] Optionally, the fixing part is provided with an outwardly penetrating operating hole, and the back of the socket housing is provided with an operating groove at the position corresponding to the operating hole; the opening of the operating hole is smaller than the opening of the operating groove.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, automated assembly operations are facilitated. The push rod in the assembly equipment can push against the edge of the operating hole to insert the fixing part into the fixing hole; and the opening edge of the operating hole protrudes into the operating groove, which facilitates the application of force and removal of the short circuit piece.

[0021] Optionally, the contact portion is provided with a protrusion that protrudes toward the second inner needle or the seventh inner needle; the ends of the second inner needle and the seventh inner needle respectively abut against the protrusion surface of the corresponding contact portion.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the socket housing is unloaded, the second inner pin and the seventh inner pin can be kept in contact with the contact part.

[0023] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] This application achieves multi-functional compatibility for the network port socket, supporting both 8P8C and 6P2C RJ45 connectors while maintaining stable communication performance under various conditions. Simultaneously, the innovative boss design simplifies the internal structure of the network port socket, reduces production costs, and improves product reliability and durability. Furthermore, this design enhances the network port socket's anti-interference capabilities in complex electromagnetic environments, effectively protecting the circuit from damage, especially under extreme conditions such as lightning strikes, thus improving the overall system safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 8 This application will be described in further detail below. Example 1

[0035] This embodiment provides a network port socket with a shorting plate, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a socket housing 1, eight resilient inner pins 2 fixed inside the socket housing 1, and a shorting piece 3. The eight resilient inner pins 2 include a second inner pin 21 and a seventh inner pin 22 arranged sequentially from left to right. The shorting piece 3 is used to simultaneously contact the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22, thereby enabling them to conduct electricity. All eight resilient inner pins 2 are made of copper, a material with good conductivity, to ensure their elasticity and conductivity. The shorting piece 3 is also made of copper to ensure a reliable electrical connection without increasing additional resistance.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The shorting piece 3 is disposed on the back of the socket housing 1, and the back of the socket housing 1 has a fixing hole 11 for fixing the shorting piece 3. The shorting piece 3 is disposed on the back of the socket housing 1 to facilitate the assembly operation of the shorting piece 3. The shorting piece 3 includes a piece body 31, a fixing part 32 integrally disposed on the upper part of the piece body 31, and two contact parts 33 integrally disposed on the lower part of the piece body 31. The fixing part 32 is bent toward the socket housing 1 and can be inserted into the fixing hole 11. The two contact parts 33 extend into the socket housing 1 from the left and right respectively until they contact the upper end surfaces of the ends of the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 The fixing part 32 has an operating hole 34 that extends through the plate 31. An operating groove 12 is provided on the back of the socket housing 1 at the position corresponding to the operating hole 34, and the opening of the operating hole 34 is smaller than the opening of the operating groove 12. The push rod in the assembly equipment can press against the edge of the operating hole 34 to insert the fixing part 32 into the fixing hole 11, facilitating automated assembly operations. Furthermore, the edge of the opening of the operating hole 34 protrudes into the operating groove 12, making it easy to apply force and remove the short-circuit plate 3.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 Both the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22 have a protrusion 23 formed by a bending process. The protrusion 23 is an arched structure with a convex upper part and a concave lower part, protruding towards the side that contacts the copper plate 42 of the crystal head 4. The protrusion 23 is located in the upper section of the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22 near the end. When the 8P8C crystal head 4 is inserted into the socket housing 1 (refer to...), Figure 4 The lower end of the copper contact 42 of the crystal head 4 will press against the lower surface of the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22, causing the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22 to bend downwards and separate from the shorting piece 3; and when the 6P2C crystal head 4 is inserted into the socket housing 1 (refer to...) Figure 5 The front end of the plastic body 41 of the crystal head 4 can contact and press down on the boss 23, which also realizes the function of bending the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22 downward and separating them from the shorting piece 3, so that the socket housing 1 can be compatible with both 6P2C and 8P8C crystal heads 4.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The boss 23 is trapezoidal in shape, with its top surface and the side facing the opening of the socket housing 1 forming two guide slopes 231. When the 6P2C crystal head 4 is inserted into the socket housing 1, it guides the plastic body 41 at the front end of the crystal head 4 to contact the boss 23, facilitating the crystal head 4 to press down on the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22. In other embodiments, the boss 23 can also be triangular or arc-shaped, wherein the arc shape can distribute the pressure more evenly, avoid stress concentration points, and thus improve the stability and durability of the boss 23 under stress.

[0040] Reference Figure 6 On the contact portion 33 of the short-circuit piece 3, a protrusion 331 protruding towards the second inner pin 21 or the seventh inner pin 22 is also formed by a bending process. In this embodiment, the protrusion 331 is arc-shaped. When the socket housing 1 is unloaded, the ends of the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22 can respectively abut against the surface of the protrusion 331 of the corresponding contact portion 33.

[0041] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] When the 8P8C crystal head 4 is inserted into the socket housing 1, the lower end of the copper contacts 42 of the crystal head 4 will press the lower surface of the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22, causing the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22 to bend downward and separate from the shorting piece 3. When the 6P2C crystal head 4 is inserted into the socket housing 1, there are no corresponding copper contacts 42 at the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22. The front end of the plastic body 41 of the crystal head 4 can contact and press down on the boss 23, thus achieving the function of bending the second inner pin 21 and the seventh inner pin 22 downward and separating them from the shorting piece 3. This allows the socket housing 1 to be compatible with both 6P2C and 8P8C crystal heads 4. Example 2

[0043] This embodiment provides a network port socket with a shorting plate, referring to... Figure 7 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a filling structure 24 is provided in the groove at the bottom of the boss 23. In this embodiment, the filling structure 24 is formed by dripping and curing adhesive. In other embodiments, it can also be filled by soldering or by directly pasting and fixing a filler.

[0044] The implementation principle of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. However, the additional filling structure 24 enhances the structural strength and bending resistance of the boss 23, thereby significantly enhancing the stability and durability of the boss 23 under stress. This not only improves the overall reliability of the network socket, but also extends the service life of the product, allowing it to maintain good performance during frequent plugging and unplugging and long-term use. Example 3

[0045] This embodiment provides a network port socket with a shorting plate, referring to... Figure 8 The difference between this and Embodiment 1 is that the boss 23 is a sheet-like structure that is convex and thinner, formed by extruding a section of material on the second inner needle 21 and the seventh inner needle 22 upwards through an extrusion process.

[0046] The implementation principle of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. However, the extrusion process is simpler and faster than the process in Embodiment 1, which requires multiple bending operations to form the boss 23. Moreover, the boss 23 is formed directly on the basis of the original inner needle structure without the need to add materials and parts.

[0047] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
