Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication technology, specifically to a data communication interface and an electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] A data communication interface is a physical and logical connection standard for data transmission between devices or systems. It defines the electrical, mechanical, functional, and protocol specifications for data transmission.
[0003] Currently, data communication interfaces are generally installed on the device housing, such as gateways and routers. However, the installed data communication interfaces are usually directly exposed, making it easy for external dust and impurities to enter the interior. Once dust accumulates, it will affect subsequent data connections. Furthermore, after plugging in, the lack of a clamping structure makes it easy for the connection to loosen, thus affecting data stability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a data communication interface and an electronic device that can cover the communication interface and apply an inward pressure to the inserted connector, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a data communication interface, including multiple communication interfaces installed on a device housing. Each communication interface has an upper half shell and a lower half shell, one above the other, covering the communication interface. The upper and lower surfaces of the device housing are provided with connecting grooves opposite the communication interfaces. One end of each of the upper and lower half shells protrudes to form a connecting plate. The other end of each connecting plate is slidably disposed in the connecting groove and is equipped with a positioning plate by a hinge. The positioning plate is slidably connected to the connecting groove. The opposite end faces of the upper and lower half shells are provided with arc-shaped grooves, which are combined to form wiring holes. Sealing plugs are inserted into the wiring holes.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution, both sides of the connecting groove are provided with sliding grooves, and both sides of the connecting plate and the positioning plate protrude to form sliding strips. The sliding strips are slidably disposed in the sliding grooves, and gaps are formed between the opposite sides of the sliding strips and the sliding grooves. A first limiting part is formed by protrusions on the inner wall surface of the sliding groove opening, and a second limiting part is formed by protrusions on the sliding strips of the positioning plate.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the positioning plate located above is provided with positioning holes, and the inner wall surface of the connecting groove is provided with grooves opposite to the positioning holes. The opening of the groove is provided with a positioning post, one end of the positioning post extends into the groove and is equipped with a compression spring. The other end of the compression spring is installed on the inner wall surface of the groove, and the other end of the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole. The side of the positioning post facing the upper shell is inclined to form a guide section.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, multiple push plates are installed at the front of the upper shell, and the other end of each push plate extends to the front of the lower shell.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the sealing plug is recessed to form an annular groove, and the outer walls of the upper and lower shells are inserted into the annular groove.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, all hinge components are torsion spring hinges.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the upper and lower shells are arranged to abut against each other, and the end faces of the upper and lower shells facing the equipment housing are arranged to abut against the outer wall of the equipment housing.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, multiple support columns are installed on the lower surface of the equipment housing.
[0013] An electronic device includes the aforementioned data communication interface.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has a simple structure. The upper half shell, lower half shell, and sealing plug can cover the outside of the communication interface, preventing the entry of external dust and impurities, thus increasing safety. After pushing the upper half shell and lower half shell outward, the upper half shell and lower half shell can open by themselves, allowing the connector to be smoothly inserted into the communication interface. As the upper half shell and lower half shell return to their original position, they can cover the connector and communication interface while applying an inward pressure to the outer end face of the connector, thereby ensuring the stability of the connector after it is inserted into the communication interface.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a data communication interface of this utility model includes multiple communication interfaces 14 installed on a device housing 1. Each communication interface 14 has an upper half shell 2 and a lower half shell 3, one above the other, covering the communication interface 14. The upper and lower surfaces of the device housing 1 are provided with connecting grooves 13 opposite to the communication interfaces 14. One end of the upper half shell 2 and the lower half shell 3 protrudes to form a connecting plate 6. The other end of the connecting plate 6 is slidably disposed in the connecting groove 13 and is equipped with a positioning plate 7 by a hinge. The positioning plate 7 is slidably connected to the connecting groove 13. The opposite end faces of the upper half shell 2 and the lower half shell 3 are provided with arc-shaped grooves. The arc-shaped grooves are combined to form wiring holes. Sealing plugs 4 are inserted into the wiring holes.
[0026] In this embodiment, sliding grooves 10 are provided on both sides of the connecting groove 13, and sliding strips 12 are protruding from both sides of the connecting plate 6 and the positioning plate 7. The sliding strips 12 are slidably disposed in the sliding grooves 10, and gaps are formed between the opposite sides of the sliding strips 12 and the sliding grooves 10. A first limiting part 11 is protruding from the inner wall surface of the opening of the sliding groove 10, and a second limiting part 17 is protruding from the sliding strips 12 of the positioning plate 7.
[0027] In this embodiment, the positioning plate 7 located above is provided with positioning holes 16, and the inner wall surface of the connecting groove 13 is provided with grooves opposite to the positioning holes 16. The opening of the groove is provided with positioning pins 8, one end of the positioning pins 8 extends into the groove and is equipped with a compression spring. The other end of the compression spring is installed on the inner wall surface of the groove, and the other end of the positioning pins 8 is inserted into the positioning holes 16. The side of the positioning pins 8 facing the upper shell 2 is inclined to form a guide part.
[0028] The inner wall of the device housing has a thickened portion corresponding to the groove, allowing the groove to extend into the thickened portion, while the thickened portion avoids electronic components and other parts inside the device housing.
[0029] In this embodiment, multiple push plates 5 are installed at the front of the upper shell 2, and the other end of each push plate 5 extends to the front of the lower shell 3.
[0030] In this embodiment, the sealing plug 4 is recessed to form an annular groove 15. The outer walls of the upper half shell 2 and the lower half shell 3 are inserted into the annular groove 15. The sealing plug can be directly fixed by the insertion between the upper half shell and the lower half shell and the sealing plug, thus preventing it from falling out.
[0031] In this embodiment, all hinges are torsion spring hinges, which allow the upper and lower shells to rotate outward automatically.
[0032] In this embodiment, the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 are arranged to abut against each other, and the end faces of the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 facing the equipment housing 1 are arranged to abut against the outer wall of the equipment housing 1, which increases the sealing between the upper shell and the lower shell, as well as the sealing between the upper shell and the lower shell and the equipment housing.
[0033] In this embodiment, multiple support columns 9 are installed on the lower surface of the equipment housing 1. The support columns support the equipment housing, allowing the lower half of the housing to rotate smoothly downwards, avoiding being blocked by the tabletop, and preventing water on the tabletop from directly contacting the equipment housing, thus increasing safety.
[0034] An electronic device includes the aforementioned data communication interface.
[0035] When the communication interface is not needed, the sealing plug is placed in the arc groove and the upper and lower shells are pressed inward. At this time, the push plate of the upper shell is placed in front of the lower shell. After the upper shell is pushed towards the device housing, the movement of the push plate can synchronously push the lower shell until the slide bar on the connecting plate is inserted into the slide groove, so that the upper and lower shells can merge by themselves. The outer walls of the upper and lower shells can be inserted into the annular groove of the sealing plug, thereby positioning the sealing plug.
[0036] After the upper and lower shells are pushed further, the upper positioning plate can squeeze the guide part of the positioning post, so that the positioning post is pressed into the inside of the groove. After the positioning plate moves into place, the positioning post can be pushed upward by the rebound of the compression spring, so that the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole, thereby positioning the positioning plate, the upper shell and the lower shell.
[0037] As attached Figure 5 As shown, when the communication interface is needed, the positioning post is retracted into the groove by pressing down with a fingernail. At this time, the upper half shell and the lower half shell can move outward along the connecting groove. The movement of the upper half shell and the lower half shell drives the positioning plate until the second limiting part on the positioning plate abuts against the first limiting part in the sliding groove, thus preventing the positioning plate from detaching from the connecting groove.
[0038] The slider can pass through the opposite end face of the first limiting part, avoiding jamming. After the connecting plate is disengaged from the slide groove, it can automatically open outward through the rebound of the torsion spring hinge, exposing the communication interface and facilitating the insertion of the interface.
[0039] After the connection is completed, close the upper and lower shells again to return them to their original positions. At this time, the wires on the connector can extend to the outside through the wiring holes, while the inner walls of the upper and lower shells can press against the outer end face of the connector and apply pressure to the connector to ensure the stability of the connector after it is connected to the communication interface.
[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
