Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, specifically to an industrial switch that prevents damage to network cable interfaces. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial switches are network switching devices specifically designed for industrial environments. They are primarily used for data communication in industrial automation, monitoring, and control systems. Compared to ordinary commercial switches, industrial switches offer higher environmental resistance, stability, and reliability, enabling them to operate continuously and stably in harsh factory environments.
[0003] Patent CN219536110U discloses a switch for communication network engineering, including a switch body, a main mesh port on the front surface of the switch body, and several network cable ports. Anti-collision brackets are installed on both sides of the switch body, with two anti-collision brackets connected to each other. Clamping plates are elastically connected to the inner side of each anti-collision bracket, and inserts are fixedly connected to the top of the clamping plates. A guide groove matching the inserts is provided at the bottom of the switch body, and pads are installed on both sides of the bottom of each anti-collision bracket. This utility model protects the switch by using anti-collision brackets on both sides of the switch body, and also facilitates the stacking of multiple switches. Furthermore, as long as a network cable is inserted into the main mesh port of the switch, the sliding cover can be pressed down by the network cable to ensure that the limiting plate on the sliding cover is always inserted into the limiting slot on the insert, preventing the switch body from detaching from the anti-collision brackets during use and avoiding damage if the switch falls.
[0004] Based on existing solutions and actual use, current industrial switches still have some problems, such as: because the network cable interface of the switch is exposed, it is easily affected by dust, moisture and other factors, which can damage the network cable interface. At the same time, when connecting with the network cable, the network cable may become loose or even fall off due to vibration, pulling or long-term use, and the interface may also be damaged, resulting in unstable connection or even complete failure. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an industrial switch that prevents damage to network cable interfaces, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art. Currently, due to the exposed interfaces, they are easily affected by dust, moisture, and other factors, leading to damage to the network cable interfaces. Furthermore, after connection, the network cable may become loose or even fall off due to vibration, pulling, or long-term use, which can also easily damage the interface.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an industrial switch for preventing damage to network cable interfaces, comprising:
[0007] The switch body has connection ports at the front end in an array configuration. Mounting slots are fixedly installed at both ends of the switch body, and protective covers are slidably connected to the upper and lower ends of the front end of the mounting slots.

The connecting blocks are connected to the protective covers. Simultaneously, the left connecting block of the switch body is threaded to the bidirectional threaded rod, while the right connecting block of the switch body is slidably connected to the sliding rod. Rotating the bidirectional threaded rod causes the connecting blocks to slide within the mounting slots and onto the sliding rod. Simultaneously, the connecting blocks cause the protective covers to slide in the opposite direction. This sliding of the protective covers protects the connection ports. The combined sliding of the two sets of protective covers effectively resists the effects of vibration, impact, dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, thereby extending the service life of the interfaces and equipment.

At the same time, the telescopic rod is fixedly installed in an array at both the top and bottom of the guide groove, and one end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the guide wheel. This allows the network cable to be placed inside the guide groove, and the network cable can be guided by the cooperation between the telescopic rod and the guide wheel. The cooperation between the telescopic rod and the guide wheel ensures that the network cable is stably guided along a predetermined path, making the cabling neater and more standardized, thereby improving the overall layout and extending the service life of the network cable and interface.
[0016] 3. It is equipped with a mounting bracket, clamps, and screw rods. The screw rods are rotatably connected to the clamps, and the screw rods are threaded to the mounting brackets. Rotating the screw rods can drive the clamps to form a telescopic structure.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an industrial switch for preventing damage to network cable interfaces, comprising: a switch body 1, a connection port 2, a mounting groove 3, a bidirectional threaded rod 4, a sliding rod 5, a connecting block 6, a protective cover plate 7, a guide groove 8, a telescopic rod 9, a guide wheel 10, a mounting bracket 11, a clamping plate 12, and a lead screw 13.
[0026] First, as attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 6 As shown, when the connection port 2 on the switch body 1 is connected to the network cable, mounting slots 3 are fixedly installed on both the left and right ends of the switch body 1, and protective covers 7 are slidably connected to the upper and lower ends of the mounting slots 3. A guide slot 8 is also fixedly installed in an array configuration at the front end of the protective cover 7, and the guide slot 8 is connected to the protective cover 7. The guide slot 8 is in a "U"-shaped structure, and telescopic rods 9 are fixedly installed in an array configuration inside the guide slot 8. A guide wheel 10 is rotatably connected to one end of the telescopic rod 9, thereby allowing the network cable to be... As the network cable passes through the guide groove 8, it comes into contact with the guide wheel 10. The telescopic rod 9 extends and retracts according to the specifications of the network cable, ensuring that the network cable and the guide wheel 10 fit together tightly. Since the guide groove 8 and the connection port 2 are set in a corresponding state, the network cable can be connected to the connection port 2, and then connected to the switch body 1. By placing the network cable inside the guide groove 8, and through the cooperation between the telescopic rod 9 and the guide wheel 10, the network cable can be stably guided along a predetermined path, making the cabling neater and more standardized, thereby improving the overall layout.
[0027] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, when the network cable is plugged into the connection port 2 and placed inside the guide slot 8, the bidirectional threaded rod 4 can be rotated. Since both the upper and lower ends of the mounting slot 3 are slidably connected to the connecting blocks 6, and the bidirectional threaded rod 4 is rotatably connected inside the left mounting slot 3 of the switch body 1, and a sliding rod 5 is fixedly installed inside the right mounting slot 3 of the switch body 1, and is threadedly connected to the body of the bidirectional threaded rod 4 via the left connecting block 6 of the switch body 1, and slidably connected to the body of the sliding rod 5 via the right connecting block 6 of the switch body 1, when the bidirectional threaded rod 4 is rotated, it causes the two sets of connecting blocks 6 to move within the mounting slot 3. The internal sliding mechanism connects to the protective cover plate 7 via the connecting block 6. This allows the connecting block 6 to drive the two sets of protective cover plates 7 to slide in opposite directions, and simultaneously drives the right connecting block 6 in the switch body 1 to slide on the slide rod 5. This causes the two sets of protective cover plates 7 to move closer to each other. Since the width of the protective cover plate 7 is half the width of the switch body 1, the two sets of protective cover plates 7 fit together, and the guide grooves 8 also fit together. This fits the two sets of protective cover plates 7 together to protect the connection port 2, effectively resisting the effects of environmental factors such as vibration, impact, dust, and moisture, thereby extending the service life of the interface and equipment.
[0028] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 As shown, after the protective cover plate 7 is used to protect the connection port 2, the front end of the guide groove 8 is fixedly installed with a mounting bracket 11, which is also set in a "U" shaped structure. Then, a clamping plate 12 is slidably connected to the frame of the mounting bracket 11, and a screw rod 13 is threadedly connected to the frame of the mounting bracket 11. The screw rod 13 is also rotatably connected to the clamping plate 12. By rotating the screw rod 13, the clamping plate 12 can be extended and retracted, and the clamping plates 12 between the two sets of protective cover plates 7 can be brought closer to each other. The clamping plate 12 is set in a semi-arc structure, so the network cable can be fixed by the two sets of clamping plates 12 being close together. This can prevent the network cable from loosening or falling off when it is vibrated or pulled, thus maintaining the stability of the connection and protecting the interface and cable from damage.
