Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of communication adapter technology, and specifically relates to a communication adapter with dustproof function. Background Technology

[0002] A communication adapter, also known as a network interface card (NIC), is more commonly referred to simply as a "network card." Primarily used to connect shared resources, it is an essential component of modern computer systems. Operating at the data link layer, it serves as the interface between the computer and the transmission medium within a local area network (LAN). It not only enables the physical connection and electrical signal matching between the computer and the LAN transmission medium but also handles frame transmission and reception, frame encapsulation and decapsulation, media access control, data encoding and decoding, and data buffering.

[0003] The prior art patent publication number CN222089590U describes a communication adapter installation device. This patent uses a fixing mechanism that, depending on the length of the communication adapter to be installed, moves a slider to slide the fixing mechanism next to the adapter, presses one end of a pressure plate, squeezes a first spring, lifts the other end of the pressure plate, resets the first spring, and then presses down the other end of the pressure plate, thus fixing the communication adapter. This invention uses a clamping mechanism that forms a clamp between the clamp and the communication adapter box, fixing the connector to the socket and preventing it from falling off. However, in practical use, it still has the following shortcomings: While this device can quickly install the communication adapter, dust can easily enter the communication adapter box when it is not in use, leading to poor contact, signal interference, or even short circuits, reducing the lifespan of the communication adapter.

[0004] Therefore, a dustproof communication adapter is needed to solve the problem in existing technologies where dust can easily enter the communication adapter box when the plug is not in use, leading to poor contact, signal interference, or even short circuits. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a communication adapter with dustproof function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a communication adapter with dustproof function, comprising a communication adapter box, a cover plate, a dustproof mechanism, a plug, a heat dissipation mechanism, and a communication adapter body. The cover plate is movably disposed above the communication adapter box. The front of the communication adapter box has symmetrically arranged cable inlets. The dustproof mechanism is disposed on the front side of the cable inlets. The plug is inserted into the inside of the cable inlets. The left and right sides of the communication adapter box have symmetrically arranged heat dissipation vents. The heat dissipation mechanism is disposed on one side of the heat dissipation vents. The communication adapter body is disposed inside the communication adapter box.

[0007] It should be noted in the solution that the dustproof mechanism consists of a baffle, a spring, a dustproof frame, a slider, a ball bearing, and an inclined surface. The baffle is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inlet, the spring is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the opposite side of the baffle, the dustproof frame is fixedly connected to one end of the spring, and the slider is fixedly connected to the side of the dustproof frame that is close to the outer surface of the communication adapter box.

[0008] It is worth noting that the outer surface of the communication adapter box is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves that are adapted to the slide bar. The ball bearings are evenly rolled and connected to one side of the slide bar, and the slide bar slides inside the sliding groove through the ball bearings.

[0009] Furthermore, it should be noted that the right side of the dustproof frame has an inclined surface, and the lowest point of the inclined surface is at the contact position of the two dustproof frames.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism consists of a fixed column, a limiting ring, an L-shaped mounting plate, a filter screen, a fixed plate, a threaded rod, a pressure plate, and an anti-slip layer. The filter screen is fixedly connected to the inside of the L-shaped mounting plate. The bottom surface of the long side of the L-shaped mounting plate is symmetrically provided with limiting grooves. The fixed plate is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the communication adapter box. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate of the fixed plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the pressure plate is rotatably connected to the lower part of the threaded rod, the top end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to a turntable, and the anti-slip layer is disposed below the pressure plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing column is symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower right side of the heat dissipation vent, the limiting ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing column, and the distance between the limiting ring and the outer surface of the communication adapter box is the same as the thickness of the L-shaped mounting plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the dimensions of the limiting groove are adapted to the dimensions of the fixing column.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the communication adapter with dustproof function provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) The dustproof mechanism ensures the sealing of the inlet and prevents dust from entering the inside of the communication adapter box.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a communication adapter with dustproof function, including a communication adapter box 1, a cover plate 2, a dustproof mechanism 4, a plug 5, a heat dissipation mechanism 7, and a communication adapter body 8. The cover plate 2 is movably disposed above the communication adapter box 1. The front of the communication adapter box 1 has symmetrically opened inlets 3. The dustproof mechanism 4 is disposed in front of the inlets 3. The plug 5 is inserted into the inside of the inlets 3. The left and right sides of the communication adapter box 1 have symmetrically opened heat dissipation vents 6. The heat dissipation mechanism 7 is disposed on one side of the heat dissipation vent 6. The communication adapter body 8 is disposed inside the communication adapter box 1.

[0025] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the dustproof mechanism 4 consists of a baffle 401, a spring 402, a dustproof frame 403, a slide bar 404, a ball bearing 405, and an inclined surface 406. The baffle 401 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inlet 3, the spring 402 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the opposite side of the baffle 401, the dustproof frame 403 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 402, and the slide bar 404 is fixedly connected to the side of the dustproof frame 403 that is close to the outer surface of the communication adapter box 1.

[0026] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the outer surface of the communication adapter box 1 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 407 that are adapted to the slide bar 404. The ball bearings 405 are evenly rolled and connected to one side of the slide bar 404, and the slide bar 404 slides inside the sliding groove 407 through the ball bearings 405.

[0027] By using ball bearings 405 to reduce friction, the smoothness of sliding of slider 404 is improved, ensuring the stability of movement of the two dustproof frames 403.

[0028] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the right side of the dustproof frame 403 is provided with a slope 406, and the lowest point of the slope 406 is at the contact position of the two dustproof frames 403.

[0029] With the inclined surface 406 provided, when the plug 5 is inserted into the inlet port 3, it first contacts the inclined surface 406, which facilitates pushing the two dustproof frames 403 to move in opposite directions and open the inlet port 3.

[0030] As can be seen from the above working process: the dustproof mechanism 4 can ensure the sealing of the inlet 3, preventing dust from entering the interior of the communication adapter box 1 through the inlet 3. The dustproof frame 403 automatically rebounds through the spring 402, and cooperates with the inclined surface 406 to fit with the plug head 5, realizing the dynamic sealing of the inlet 3, effectively blocking external dust and improving the dustproof effect.

[0031] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the heat dissipation mechanism 7 consists of a fixed column 701, a limiting ring 702, an L-shaped mounting plate 703, a filter screen 704, a fixed plate 706, a threaded rod 707, a pressure plate 708, and an anti-slip layer 709. The filter screen 704 is fixedly connected to the inside of the L-shaped mounting plate 703. The bottom surface of the long side of the L-shaped mounting plate 703 is symmetrically provided with a limiting groove 705. The fixed plate 706 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the communication adapter box 1. The threaded rod 707 is threadedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate of the fixed plate 706.

[0032] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the pressure plate 708 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 707, the top of the threaded rod 707 is fixedly connected to a turntable, and the anti-slip layer 709 is set below the pressure plate 708.

[0033] Rotating the threaded rod 707 via the turntable causes the pressure plate 708 to move downwards until it is pressed against the L-shaped mounting plate 703. The anti-slip layer 709 increases the friction between the L-shaped mounting plate 703 and the anti-slip layer 709, thereby improving the installation stability of the L-shaped mounting plate 703.

[0034] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the fixing post 701 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower right side of the heat dissipation port 6, the limiting ring 702 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing post 701, and the distance between the limiting ring 702 and the outer surface of the communication adapter box 1 is the same as the thickness of the L-shaped mounting plate 703. The size of the limiting groove 705 is adapted to the size of the fixing post 701.

[0035] The L-shaped mounting plate 703 is secured to the outside of the fixing post 701 by the limiting groove 705, and the position of the L-shaped mounting plate 703 is limited by the limiting ring 702. Then, the short side of the L-shaped mounting plate 703 is fixed above the communication adapter box 1 by the pressure plate 708 and the anti-slip layer 709, thereby completing the installation of the L-shaped mounting plate 703 and the filter screen 704, which serves to prevent dust and dissipate heat from the heat dissipation port 6.

[0036] The communication adapter body 8 is fixed inside the communication adapter box 1 by a fixing component. The fixing component has been described in detail in the utility model patent with patent number CN222089590U, and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] This solution has the following working process: During use, open cover 2 and fix the communication adapter body 8 inside the communication adapter box 1 using the fixing components. Then close cover 2 and insert the plug 5 into the inlet 3. During insertion, the plug 5 contacts the inclined surface 406, pushing the dustproof frame 403 to slide to both sides. The slide bar 404 moves along the slide groove 407, and the spring 402 contracts under pressure. When the plug is fully inserted, the dustproof frame 403 automatically rebounds under the action of the spring, and its inclined surface 406 tightly adheres to the cable surface to prevent dust from entering. When the communication adapter body 8 is running, external air enters the heat dissipation port 6 through the filter 704 to dissipate heat from the internal communication adapter body 8, while the filter 704 blocks dust.

[0038] After prolonged use, dust can easily accumulate on the filter screen 704. Rotating the turntable causes the threaded rod 707 to rotate, which in turn moves the pressure plate 708 upward, releasing the fixation on the L-shaped mounting plate 703. The L-shaped mounting plate 703 can then be removed upward, allowing the lower limiting groove 705 to disengage from the fixing post 701. The L-shaped mounting plate 703 can then be removed to clean the filter screen 704.

[0039] In summary: The dustproof mechanism 4 ensures the airtightness of the inlet 3, preventing dust from entering the communication adapter box 1 through the inlet 3. The dustproof frame 403 automatically rebounds via the spring 402, and, together with the inclined surface 406, fits against the plug 5, achieving a dynamic seal of the inlet 3, effectively blocking external dust and improving the dustproof effect. The heat dissipation mechanism 7 prevents dust from entering the communication adapter box 1 through the heat dissipation vent 6. The L-shaped mounting plate 703 can be quickly removed, facilitating the cleaning of the filter 704, preventing blockage of the heat dissipation vent 6, improving heat dissipation, and enhancing the operational stability of the communication adapter body 8.
