[0003] However, in the existing technology, when some digital switches are connected to other external devices, their connector structure is at risk of accidentally loosening when subjected to mechanical vibration or external force, which may lead to a decrease or even stop of signal transmission between devices.
[0004] Therefore, a digital switch is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a digital switch, which aims to improve the problem that some digital switches in the prior art have a risk of accidental loosening of their connector structure when connected to other external devices, which can lead to a decrease or even stop of signal transmission efficiency between devices.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A digital switch includes a body, with multiple ball bearings fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front end of the body, and multiple retaining rings detachably connected to the front end of the body. Each retaining ring has multiple slots around its perimeter that engage with the ball bearings. A plug is fixedly connected to the front end of each retaining ring, and a data cable is fixedly connected to the other end of the plug. A rotating housing is rotatably connected to the top of the plug. A retaining block that engages with the inner wall of the rotating housing is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating housing. A pull rod is fixedly connected to the top of the retaining block, and a spring is provided inside the rotating housing.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] A sealing strip is detachably connected to the top of the inner wall of the machine body. A rubber strip that engages with the machine body is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing strip. A cardboard box is fixedly connected to the right side of the sealing strip.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] Two heat dissipation windows are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the machine body to provide heat dissipation.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The pull rod is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating box, and the ball is circumferentially distributed on the inner wall of the front end of the machine body;
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0019] The surface of the cardboard box has multiple evenly distributed holes, and the interior of the cardboard box is used to hold replaceable moisture-proof paper.
[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. In this utility model, when the plug is inserted into the inner wall of the body, the slot on the retaining ring will engage with the retaining ball.

[0029] 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.
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a digital switch, including a body 1, which is the digital switch itself. Multiple rubber balls 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front end of the body 1, possessing a certain degree of elasticity. The balls 2 are circumferentially distributed on the inner wall of the front end of the body 1. Three sockets are opened at the front end of the body 1, and the balls 2 are circumferentially distributed on the inner walls of these sockets. Multiple retaining rings 3 are detachably connected to the front end of the body 1. Multiple slots 4 are formed around the retaining rings 3 to engage with the balls 2. The rear end of the retaining rings 3 is designed with a sliding path for the balls 2, allowing them to easily slide into the slots 4. A plug 5 is fixedly connected to the front end of the retaining rings 3, and a data cable 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the plug 5. The plug 5 and data cable 6 serve as the medium for connecting external devices to the body 1, thereby achieving data transmission.
[0031] The top of the plug 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating box 7, which provides stable support for the rotating box 7. The inner wall of the rotating box 7 is slidably connected to the locking block 8, which engages with the inner wall of the body 1. The rotating box 7 provides stable sliding space for the locking block 8. The top of the locking block 8 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 9. Pulling the pull rod 9 can move the locking block 8 together. The outside of the pull rod 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating box 7. The rear end of the locking block 8 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 10, which can effectively prevent the locking block 8 from accidentally dislodging from the sliding inner wall of the rotating box 7. The outside of the limiting block 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating box 7. The rotating box 7 is equipped with a spring 11, which is in a stretched state, thus effectively ensuring the engagement between the locking block 8 and the body 1. One end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the rotating box 7, and the other end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting block 10. The rotating box 7 and the limiting block 10 provide stable support for the spring 11.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A sealing strip 12 is detachably connected to the top of the inner wall of the body 1. The sealing strip 12 prevents external water from entering the interior of the body 1. A rubber strip 13 that engages with the body 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing strip 12. The rubber strip 13 also has a certain degree of elasticity to ensure its engagement with the body 1. A paper box 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the sealing strip 12. The surface of the paper box 14 has multiple evenly distributed holes. The inside of the paper box 14 is used to place replaceable moisture-proof paper. The paper box 14 and the moisture-proof paper can effectively prevent the body 1 from getting damp and ensure the dryness of the internal electronic components, thereby improving the service life of the switch. Two heat dissipation windows 15 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the body 1 to provide heat dissipation for the body 1. The heat dissipation windows 15 can help the switch dissipate heat during operation and prevent the machine from overloading due to excessive temperature.
[0033] Working principle: When an external device is connected to the switch via plug 5, the retaining ring 3 at the front end of plug 5 moves into the body 1. At this time, the retaining grooves 4 around the retaining ring 3 come into elastic deformation contact with the elastic rubber retaining ball 2 on the inner wall of the front end of the body 1. As plug 5 is fully inserted, the retaining ball 2 slides into the retaining groove 4 along the guide trajectory at the rear end of the retaining ring 3, forming a mechanical interlocking structure. The spring 11 inside the rotating box 7 is in a stretched state, which pulls the retaining block 8 through the limiting block 10, making it tightly adhere to the inner wall of the body 1. The tension of the spring 11 makes the retaining block 8 reliably engaged with the body 1, further enhancing the plug 5's resistance to detachment.
[0034] When disconnection is required, push the lever 9 to drive the locking block 8 to overcome the tension of the spring 11 and disengage from the locking position. Then rotate the rotating box 7 to drive the locking block 8 to rotate, so that the plug 5 and the rotating box 7 are perpendicular to each other. At the same time, pull the plug 5 outward so that the retaining ring 3 loses the locking effect of the retaining ball 2, and the plug 5 can be safely pulled out.
[0035] The sealing strip 12 and rubber strip 13 at the top of the main body 1 form a double-layer sealing structure. Together with the moisture-proof paper placed inside the cardboard box 14, they allow for the exchange of internal and external gases through the holes while absorbing moisture, effectively preventing water vapor from entering. The heat dissipation windows 15 on both sides dissipate the heat generated during the operation of the equipment through air convection, preventing internal components from overloading due to high temperature.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
