[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0026] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0027] Specifically, it refers to a network cable connector for a data acquisition device, see [link / reference]. Figure 1-2 The device includes a housing 1, which contains a circuit board, electronic components, etc. The housing 1 has a housing plate 11, and multiple sets of network cable interface slots 12 are formed on the surface of the housing plate 11. The network cable interface slots 12 are used to provide space for plugging in external communication network cables. A network port is installed in the network cable interface slot 12. The network port is compatible with protocols such as TCP / IP and Profinet. A disassembly slot 13 is formed on one side of the network cable interface slot 12. An insertion aid 2 is set below the disassembly slot 13. The insertion aid 2 is used to assist in plugging and unplugging the network cable. The insertion aid 2 is installed through the disassembly slot 13.

[0028] See Figure 3-4The insertion aid assembly 2 has a mounting block 21, which is shaped to fit the disassembly groove 13 and is slidably connected to it. A button post 22 is provided on one side of the mounting block 21, and is slidably connected to it. A spring 23 is provided on the outer wall of the button post 22. A limiting ring block 24 is provided on the side of the button post 22 away from the outer shell 1, and is connected to the mounting block 21. The limiting ring block 24 is a hollow structure, and the space enclosed by the inner wall of the limiting ring block 24 is larger than the network cable interface groove 12. A guide protrusion 25 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting ring block 24. The mounting block 21, button post 22, spring 23, and guide protrusion 25 are located on the same side of the limiting ring block 24. A fixing plate 26 is provided on the other side of the limiting ring block 24, and a magnet 27 is provided on the fixing plate 26 near the surface of the outer shell plate 11. The spring 23 is located on the side of the mounting block 21 away from the fixing plate 26, and the guide protrusion 25 is located along the inner wall of the limiting ring block 24. The guide protrusion 25 has a first guide area 251, which is a sloping structure. The side of the first guide area 251 away from the button post 22 is lower than the side of the first guide area 251 near the button post 22. The side of the first guide area 251 near the button post 22 is provided with an abutting area 252. The abutting area 252 away from the first guide area 251 has a second guide area 253, which is an arc structure.

[0029] Specifically, during installation, the mounting block 21 is slid from the outside of the disassembly groove 13 toward the side closer to the network cable interface groove 12 until it touches the inner wall of the disassembly groove 13, and the magnet 27 is attracted to the surface of the housing plate 11 for auxiliary fixation; if the insertion aid component 2 is damaged and needs to be disassembled, the operator only needs to hold the mounting block 21 or hold the limiting ring block 24 and push it toward the outside of the disassembly groove 13 to remove the insertion aid component 2; the device is easy to install and disassemble.

[0030] When inserting a network cable into the network port, the operator holds the cable end, ensuring the pressing tab faces the mounting block 21, button post 22, spring 23, and guide protrusion 25, and then inserts it towards the network port. During insertion, the cable end's pressing tab is pressed by the first guide area 251 and the abutment area 252, while the other side is restricted by the inner wall of the limiting ring block 24. Once the cable end is pushed into the network port and locked in place, the pressing tab completely disengages from the abutment area 252 and is positioned above the second guide area 253, engaging with the internal structure of the network port. This device solves the problem of operators being unable to visually understand the network port orientation and accurately aligning the cable during insertion due to visual limitations, thus improving the operator's network cable insertion efficiency.

[0031] When unplugging the network cable, the operator only needs to press the button 22 and pull the cable away from the network port. During the pressing and pulling process, the spring contacts of the network cable head are pressed by the button 22, causing the network cable head to disengage from the snap-fit ​​structure inside the network port. When pulling downwards, the spring contacts of the network cable head first contact the second guide area 253. As the cable continues to be pulled downwards, the spring contacts of the network cable head are pressed by the abutment area 252. At this point, the operator can either release the button 22 or continue to press the button 22 to continue pulling outwards until the network cable head is completely detached from the insertion aid component 2. This device improves the efficiency of the operator in unplugging the network cable head.

[0032] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
