[0002] With the booming development of the telecommunications industry and the continuous advancement of national economic informatization, network switches, as key devices for expanding networks and providing more connection ports for subnetworks to access more computers, are experiencing a steady increase in market demand. Currently, Ethernet technology, with its significant advantages such as high performance-price ratio, high flexibility, relative simplicity, and ease of implementation, has become the most important local area network (LAN) technology, and network switches have consequently become the most widely used type of switch.

[0003] Traditional network switches are designed with tight connections between the end caps and the switch body, using conventional methods such as screw fastening and clip-on locking. This makes disassembling the end caps extremely cumbersome during maintenance. Maintenance personnel often need to use multiple tools and spend a significant amount of time unscrewing screws or carefully opening clips to access the internal components of the switch. This inconvenience severely impacts maintenance efficiency, especially in scenarios with extremely stringent requirements for network downtime, such as financial transaction systems and real-time monitoring networks. Prolonged maintenance work can lead to business interruptions and significant economic losses. Therefore, we propose a wall-mounted network switch that allows for rapid maintenance.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model relates to a wall-mounted network switch that can be quickly maintained, including a switch body 1, an end cover 2 fixedly installed on the top of the switch body 1, movable locking components 3 installed on both sides of the end cover 2, and a support plate 4 fixedly arranged between the inner walls of the top opening of the switch body 1 to cooperate with and limit the locking components 3; the support plate 4 can limit the installation position of the end cover 2 and locate the position where the locking components 3 and the support plate 4 are connected, which facilitates quick docking operation.

[0024] The locking assembly 3 includes a fixed cylinder 301 fixedly mounted on the top of the end cover 2. A resiliently telescopic movable rod 304 is installed through the inside of the fixed cylinder 301, and the lower end of the movable rod 304 penetrates the plate wall of the end cover 2. Two limiting blocks 306 located at the bottom of the tray 4 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the lower end of the movable rod 304. The top of the side end of each of the two limiting blocks 306 is fixedly equipped with a positioning buckle 307 that can engage with the tray 4 for positioning. The resiliently telescopic movable rod 304 can move up and down under the limitation of the fixed cylinder 301 and maintain a stable position without pressure. After the movable rod 304 and the limiting blocks 306 pass through the tray 4, they can be displaced by pressing down. Then, by rotating, the limiting blocks 306 can be moved to a position that fits against the bottom of the tray 4, and the positioning buckle 307 can be engaged with the bottom of the tray 4 for positioning, thereby completing the installation of the end cover 2. This connection method is easy to disassemble and maintain quickly, saving time.

[0025] In this embodiment of the present invention, the plate 4 has a through hole 401 of the same size as the slot 303 on its plate wall. Two extension slots 402 extend from the side of the through hole 401 to facilitate the downward movement of the limiting block 306. Two positioning slots 403 are provided on the bottom side of the plate 4 to engage with the positioning buckle 307, and the positioning slots 403 and the positioning buckle 307 are in a cross shape. Since the positioning slots 403 and the positioning buckle 307 are distributed in a cross shape, after the limiting block 306 is rotated 90°, the positioning buckle 307 can be located directly below the positioning slot 403, which facilitates the docking and connection between the two. After rotating 90° again, it can be reset, which facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0026] In an embodiment of this utility model, an elastic ring 308 is fixedly provided on the top of the positioning buckle 307, and a resistance ring groove 404 adapted to the elastic ring 308 is constructed on the top of the positioning groove 403. By moving the positioning buckle 307 upward, the elastic ring 308 is inserted into the resistance ring groove 404, which can further improve the limiting effect, prevent loosening, and strengthen the position limiting strength.

[0027] In an embodiment of this utility model, a spring 302 that fits against the movable rod 304 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder 301, and a support ring 305 that is fixedly connected to the spring 302 is fixedly provided on the top outer wall of the movable rod 304; the connection between the support ring 305 and the spring 302 allows the spring 302 to be compressed and contracted when the movable rod 304 moves down, achieving a retractable effect.

[0028] In this embodiment of the present invention, a locking groove 303 is vertically provided on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 301, corresponding to the positions of the two side limiting blocks 306 and the positioning groove 403. The inner wall of the locking groove 303 is C-shaped. A knob 309 is fixedly provided on the top of the movable rod 304. Two elastic plates 5 that fit against the outer side of the fixed cylinder 301 are fixedly provided on the bottom side of the knob 309. The two elastic plates 5 that fit against the fixed cylinder 301 are integrally formed with locking blocks 501. The locking blocks 501 are locked and connected to the locking groove 303. The opening of the locking groove 303 facilitates the locking blocks 501 to be locked in. At the same time, a certain distance is reserved between the top of the locking groove 303 and the top of the fixed cylinder 301. This can limit the upward movement distance after the locking blocks 501 are locked in, so that when the movable rod 304 is pulled up to drive the end cover 2 to move upward, it can achieve the supporting effect and prevent the movable rod 304 from moving out of the fixed cylinder 301.

[0029] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a wall-mounted network switch that can be quickly maintained. When installing the end cover 2, the end cover 2 is placed over the top opening of the switch body 1, aligning the locking assembly 3 with the through hole 401 in the middle of the tray 4. This allows the limiting blocks 306 on both sides to move down along the extension groove 402 to the bottom of the tray 4, so that the bottom surface of the end cover 2 is in contact with the top surface of the tray 4. Then, the knob 309 is pressed down, and the movable rod 304 moves down in the fixed cylinder 301 against the elastic force of the spring 302, causing the positioning buckle 307 on the top of the limiting block 306 to move down to the bottom of the tray 4. Next, the knob 309 can be rotated. Since the elastic plate 5 and the locking block 501 on the bottom side of the knob 309 are engaged with the locking groove 303 on the fixed cylinder 301, the knob 309 will cause the locking block 501 to be pressed and removed from the locking groove 303. After rotating 90°, the locking blocks 501 on both sides can move to the position of the next locking groove 303. At the same time, the positioning buckle 307 moves to the position of the positioning groove 403 at the bottom of the support plate 4. Then, under the rebound force of the spring 302, the positioning buckle 307 can be locked into the positioning groove 403 to achieve the limiting effect. After the engagement, the movable rod 304 can be pulled up to make the elastic ring 308 at the top of the positioning buckle 307 embed into the resistance ring groove 404 at the top of the positioning groove 403, further increasing the stability of the connection and realizing the firm installation of the end cover 2 and the switch body 1. In this way, the stability of the connection between the end cover 2 and the switch body 1 can be maintained during use. When maintenance of the switch is required, press the knob 309 down to push the movable rod 304 down, and then rotate the knob 309 to separate the positioning buckle 307 from the positioning groove 403. At this time, the spring 302 is compressed and contracted. After rotating 90°, the position of the limiting block 306 and the extension groove 402 can be aligned. Then, by pulling upward, the limiting block 306 can be moved above the tray 4. At the same time, the end cover 2 can be moved upward to achieve the removal operation, which facilitates quick maintenance of the inside of the switch body 1.
