Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network connectors, and in particular to a flexible network connector. Background Technology

[0002] The RJ-45 interface is the most common type of Ethernet interface, typically used for twisted-pair Ethernet connections. RJ-45 interfaces have specific pin arrangements and color coding, such as the T568A and T568B standards. The main difference between these two standards lies in the wiring sequence. The T568A standard's wiring sequence is white-green, green, white-orange, blue, white-blue, orange, white-brown, brown, while the T568B standard's wiring sequence is white-orange, orange, white-green, blue, white-blue, green, white-brown, brown. In practical applications, different connectors are used when connecting hardware devices of the same level, while the same connector is used when connecting hardware devices of different levels.

[0003] Currently, most RJ-45 interfaces use a straight-through connection method. When connecting the RJ45 connector to the terminal device in a narrow space, it is not convenient to adjust the connection angle between the network cable and the RJ45 connector, which makes it difficult to connect the RJ45 connector to the terminal device, thus presenting certain drawbacks.

[0026] The flexible network connector of this utility model will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the utility model. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the utility model described herein while still achieving its advantageous effects. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being of general knowledge to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit the utility model.

[0027] The present invention will be described more specifically by way of example in the following paragraphs with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a flexible network connector, including a fixed connector, a network cable female connector, a movable connector 1, and a crystal head 2.

[0029] Specifically, the network cable female connector is fixedly installed inside the fixed connection base, and the network cable female connector is used to connect to the communication network cable.

[0030] The movable connecting seat 1 is rotatably mounted on the end of the fixed connecting seat, and the movable connecting seat 1 has a rotation adjustment range of 0° to 180°.

[0031] The crystal head 2 is fixedly installed on the movable connector 1, and the crystal head 2 is connected to the network cable female connector via the connecting ribbon cable 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the network cable socket is connected to an external communication network cable. When it is necessary to connect the crystal head 2 to the terminal device, the crystal head 2 can be rotated and adjusted from 0° to 180° with the movable connector 1, which can adapt to the installation requirements of different installation spaces and solve the problem that it is not easy to install and connect to the terminal device in narrow spaces.

[0033] Furthermore, the fixed connection seat includes a fixed seat 4 and a cover plate 5.

[0034] Specifically, the fixed base 4 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 6 at the end away from the movable connecting base 1.

[0035] The cover plate 5 is rotatably mounted on the fixed base 4, and the cover plate 5 is snapped into the fixed base 4. The end of the cover plate 5 is provided with a snap-in groove 7 that matches the snap-in protrusion 6.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cover plate 5 and the fixed base 4 are rotatably connected. When the external communication network cable and the network cable socket are connected, the cover plate 5 is closed. At this time, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 6 and the snap-fit ​​groove 7 engage, completing the docking installation between the cover plate 5 and the fixed base 4. At the same time, after the cover plate 5 is closed, it applies pressure to the network cable socket, ensuring a reliable and stable connection between the network cable socket and the communication network cable.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, a wire harness support 8 is provided at the end of the fixed base 4 away from the movable connecting base 1. In order to reduce wear between the communication network cable and the fixed base 4, the wire harness support 8 can support the communication network cable, thereby reducing wear between the communication network cable and the fixed base 4 when the communication network cable shakes.

[0038] In addition, the movable connecting seat 1 is rotatably mounted to the end of the fixed seat 4 via a pin, and the inner wall of the fixed seat 4 is provided with a stop bar 9 for limiting the rotation angle of the movable connecting seat 1. During the rotation of the movable connecting seat 1, the fixed connecting seat and the stop bar 9 respectively limit the rotation of the movable connecting seat 1, so that the movable connecting seat 1 can be rotated and adjusted within the range of 0° to 180°.

[0039] Furthermore, the network cable connector includes a lower base 10, an upper base 11, and a connecting pin assembly 12.

[0040] Specifically, both the lower base 10 and the upper base 11 are stepped, and the lower base 10 and the upper base 11 are matched and connected.

[0041] The lower base 10 is provided with multiple sets of connecting pins 12, which are used to cut through the insulation of the communication network cable and make signal connection with the communication network cable.

[0042] The bottom surface of the upper base 11 is provided with a connecting groove 13 that matches the connecting pin group 12, and the side of the upper base 11 is provided with a network cable socket 14 that is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting groove 13.

[0043] In this embodiment, when connecting the communication network cable to the network cable socket, firstly, the network cable of the corresponding color is inserted into the corresponding network cable socket 14. Then, the connecting pin group 12 corresponding to the connecting slot 13 is inserted. During the insertion of the connecting pin group 12 into the connecting slot 13, the connecting pin group 12 cuts through the outer insulation of the network cable and makes contact with the cable. Finally, after the connecting pin group 12 is fully inserted into the connecting slot 13, the connecting pin group 12 connects with the cable signal inside the communication network cable, the upper base 11 and the lower base 10 are spliced ​​together, the cover plate 5 is closed, and the upper base 11 abuts against the cover plate 5. The pressure of the cover plate 5 on the upper base 11 ensures a reliable contact between the upper base 11 and the lower base 10, thereby ensuring a reliable connection between the network cable and the connecting pin group 12.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the connecting pin assembly 12 employs a pair of angled connecting pins, each with a cutting edge. During the sliding process between the network cable and the connecting pins, the connecting pins pierce the outer insulation of the network cable and make contact with it. Simultaneously, the angled arrangement of the connecting pin assembly 12 allows the network cable to bend, making it less likely for the network cable to detach from the connecting pin assembly 12.

[0045] In addition, the inner side of the top of the connecting pin assembly 12 has a chamfered structure, which can guide the network cable into the space between the two connecting pins when the connecting pin assembly 12 enters the connecting groove 13, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting pin and the network cable.

[0046] It should be noted that the connecting pins and the crystal head 2 are connected via a connecting cable 3, and this connection method conforms to the T568B standard.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0048] The crystal head of this invention rotates between a movable connector and a fixed connector, and simultaneously communicates with the network cable connector via a ribbon cable, thus achieving a flexible connection between the crystal head and the terminal device. This solves the problem of difficult connection in narrow spaces and features a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0049] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
