Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of switch housing technology, and in particular relates to a portable housing structure for a small network switch. Background Technology
[0002] Network switches are the core devices for building local area networks (LANs). They provide highly scalable connectivity for subnets, allowing multiple computers and other network terminals to be connected simultaneously. This significantly improves network transmission efficiency and system reliability, making them an essential infrastructure for digital offices, smart homes, and small business networking.
[0003] Currently, existing portable network switches have simple housing structures and their connection ports are usually open designs. When the cable is accidentally pulled or squeezed, the cable and the interface may have poor contact, or even physical damage (such as pin deformation or loosening of the interface) may be caused by external force acting directly on the port. In addition, the housing surface lacks reasonable force-bearing design, and there is no stable grip point when the user picks it up directly. The network switch may slip directly, which may not only damage the switch, but also cause injury to people and equipment in the vicinity.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a portable housing structure for a small network switch. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable housing structure for a small network switch, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a portable housing structure for a small network switch, comprising a switch housing with multiple horizontal connection ports on one side, and a horizontally arranged horizontal rod. An abutment rod is fixed to the outer wall of the horizontal rod. A fixed base is fixed to the outer wall of the switch housing, and multiple clamping plates are arranged above the fixed base. The clamping plates are connected to a lifting mechanism inside the fixed base. The clamping plates move upwards and cooperate with the abutment rod to clamp the transmission cable. Two rotating blocks are respectively hinged to two hinge blocks arranged on the outer wall of the switch housing. The two rotating blocks respectively pass through the top ends of two sliding sleeves and are slidably connected to the sliding sleeves. The two sliding sleeves are respectively fixed to both ends of the horizontal rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting block that passes through the top of the fixed seat and is fixedly connected to the abutment plate. Two mirror-symmetrical moving blocks are provided in the cavity of the fixed seat. The top of the moving block and the bottom of the lifting block are respectively fixed with hinge seats and hinged to the two ends of the connecting rod. A bidirectional screw is rotatably installed in the cavity, and the bidirectional screw is threadedly connected to the two moving blocks respectively.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the bidirectional screw is fixed with a worm wheel that meshes with the worm gear, one side of the fixed seat is penetrated by a rotating shaft and rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the worm gear is fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The fixed seat is provided with a knob that is fixed to the rotating shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the abutment rod is provided with multiple arc-shaped grooves, and the multiple arc-shaped grooves correspond to multiple abutment plates respectively, and the top surface of the abutment plate is arc-shaped.
[0011] Furthermore, a rubber pad is fixed to the outer wall of the abutment rod, and a rubber pad is fixed to the top surface of the abutment plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a sliding plate is slidably disposed inside the sliding sleeve and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating block, and a spring is fixedly disposed between the sliding plate and the sliding sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, slots are provided on the sidewalls of the sliding sleeves that are far apart from each other. The switch housing is fixedly connected to the fixed shell through a fixing block. A second sliding plate is provided inside the fixed shell, and a smooth rod is provided on one side of the second sliding plate that penetrates the sidewall of the fixed shell. The smooth rod is fixedly connected to the insert block through a connecting plate. A spring is provided inside the fixed shell that is wound around the smooth rod, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the fixed shell and the second sliding plate, respectively.
[0014] Furthermore, a pull plate is provided on the outer side of the fixed shell, and the pull plate is fixedly connected to the sliding plate by a smooth rod that penetrates the side wall of the fixed shell.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This utility model uses a lifting mechanism to raise the clamping plate, so that the clamping plate and the contact rod cooperate to stably clamp the transmission cable inserted into the wiring port, which can effectively prevent the transmission cable from being poorly contacted or separated from the hinge block due to the pulling force.
[0017] This invention allows the horizontal bar to rotate relative to the hinge block via a sliding sleeve and a rotating block, thus turning the horizontal bar into a handle. Users can lift the network switch using the horizontal bar, making it convenient for them to carry and move the network switch.

[0028] 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.
[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this utility model is a portable housing structure for a small network switch, including a switch housing 1 with multiple horizontal connection ports 102 on one side, and a horizontally arranged horizontal rod 4. The outer wall of the horizontal rod 4 is fixed with an abutment rod 5. The outer wall of the switch housing 1 is fixed with a fixed seat 11, and multiple clamping plates 12 are arranged above the fixed seat 11. The clamping plates 12 are connected to a lifting mechanism inside the fixed seat 11. The clamping plates 12 move upward and cooperate with the abutment rod 5 to clamp the transmission cable. Two rotating blocks 2 are respectively hinged to two hinge blocks 101 arranged on the outer wall of the switch housing 1. The two rotating blocks 2 pass through the top of two sliding sleeves 3 and are slidably connected to the sliding sleeves 3. The two sliding sleeves 3 are respectively fixed to both ends of the horizontal rod 4.
[0031] This embodiment provides a portable housing structure for a small network switch. The number of connection ports 102 and the clamping plates 12 are the same and correspond to each other. The lifting mechanism can independently control the lifting of the clamping plates 12 and cooperate with the abutment rod 5 to clamp the transmission cable. The horizontal rod 4 can be rotated and unfolded to be used as a handle, which facilitates the transfer of the switch.
[0032] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting block 15 that passes through the top of the fixed base 11 and is fixedly connected to the abutment plate 12. Two mirror-symmetrical moving blocks 14 are provided in the cavity 1101 of the fixed base 11. The top of the moving block 14 and the bottom of the lifting block 15 are respectively fixed with hinge seats and hinged to the two ends of the connecting rod 16. A bidirectional screw 13 is rotatably installed in the cavity 1101 and is threadedly connected to the two moving blocks 14 respectively. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 13 drives the two moving blocks 14 to move synchronously in opposite directions. Furthermore, the connecting rod 16 drives the lifting block 15 to move vertically, thereby realizing the lifting of the bidirectional screw 13. Limiting plates are fixed on both sides of the lower end of the lifting block 15 to prevent the lifting block 15 from moving excessively upward and separating from the fixed base 11.
[0033] The outer wall of the bidirectional screw 13 is fixed with a worm wheel 17 that meshes with the worm 18. One side of the fixed seat 11 is penetrated by a rotating shaft 1801 and rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 1801. The worm 18 is fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 1801. The fixed seat 11 is provided with a knob 19 that is fixed to the rotating shaft 1801. Rotating the knob 19 drives the worm 18 to rotate through the rotating shaft 1801, which in turn drives the bidirectional screw 13 to rotate.
[0034] The outer wall of the abutment rod 5 is provided with multiple arc-shaped grooves 501, and the multiple arc-shaped grooves 501 correspond to multiple abutment plates 12 respectively. The top surface of the abutment plate 12 is arc-shaped. A rubber pad 1 502 is fixed on the outer wall of the abutment rod 5, and a rubber pad 2 1201 is fixed on the top surface of the abutment plate 12. The arc-shaped grooves 501 and the arc-shaped top surface of the abutment plate 12 can have a larger contact surface with the transmission cable, stably clamp the transmission cable, and prevent slippage. In addition, the rubber pad 1 502 and the rubber pad 2 1201 can reduce the wear of the outer sheath of the transmission cable and also increase friction and cushioning.
[0035] The sliding sleeve 3 is equipped with a sliding plate 302 that is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating block 2. A spring is fixed between the sliding plate 302 and the sliding sleeve 3. When the contact rod 5 and the clamping plate 12 cooperate to clamp and fix the transmission cable, the spring is in an extended state. When the network switch needs to be moved or replaced, the spring can be reset, releasing the clamping and fixing of all transmission cables at once, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the transmission cables.
[0036] The sliding sleeve 3 has slots 301 on its mutually spaced sidewalls. The switch housing 1 is fixedly connected to the fixed housing 8 via a fixing block 801. The fixed housing 8 has a second sliding plate 9 inside, and a smooth rod 7 penetrating the sidewall of the fixed housing 8 is provided on one side of the second sliding plate 9. The smooth rod 7 is fixedly connected to the plug 6 via a connecting plate 601. The fixed housing 8 has a spring wrapped around the smooth rod 7, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the fixed housing 8 and the second sliding plate 9, respectively. When the abutment rod 5 and the clamping plate 12 cooperate to clamp and fix the transmission cable, the plug 6 is locked in the slot 301. By pulling the second sliding plate 9, the plug 6 can be separated from the slot 301 through the smooth rod 7 and the connecting plate 601, thereby unlocking the sliding sleeve 3.
[0037] The fixed shell 8 is provided with a pull plate 10 on its outer side, and the pull plate 10 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 9 through a smooth rod 901 that passes through the side wall of the fixed shell 8. The user can pull the smooth rod 901 laterally by pulling the pull plate 10, and further pull the sliding plate 9 to move.
[0038] Understandably, this utility model can clamp and fix the transmission cable to prevent poor contact caused by pulling. Secondly, the horizontal bar 4 can serve as a handle to facilitate users in moving the network switch.
[0039] A specific application of the operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When the network switch is in use, the plug 6 is inserted into the slot 301, the sliding sleeve 3 is locked, and the clamping plate 12 and the contact rod 5 cooperate to clamp and fix the transmission cable connected to the wiring port 102. The clamping plate 12 can move vertically to clamp and release the transmission cable. When it is necessary to drive the clamping plate 12 to rise or fall, the user rotates the knob 19, which further drives the worm gear 18 to rotate through the rotating shaft 1801, and then drives the bidirectional screw 13 to rotate through the worm wheel 17, thereby driving the moving block 14 to move. Finally, the lifting block 15 is driven to move vertically through the connecting rod 16 to realize the raising and lowering of the clamping plate 12.
[0040] When the network switch needs to be replaced, pulling the pull plate 10 causes the plug block 6 to separate from the slot 301 via the smooth rod 2 901, the sliding plate 2 9, the smooth rod 1 7 and the connecting plate 601. Then the sliding sleeve 3 resets under the action of the spring force, releasing the clamping and fixing of all transmission cables at once. At the same time, after the sliding sleeve 3 is released from locking, the horizontal bar 4 can rotate to be used as a handle, which is convenient for moving the network switch.
