Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of network adapter technology, and more particularly to an electronic engineering network adapter mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] A network adapter, also known as a network card, is a piece of computer hardware designed to allow computers to communicate on a computer network. Because it has a MAC address, it belongs to the layer between layer 1 and layer 2 of the OSI model, enabling users to connect to each other via cable or wirelessly.

[0003] In existing technologies, network adapters are generally connected to mounting brackets. When installing them inside a computer case, they are typically placed downwards from the edge of the case so that the network adapter's connector connects to the pre-installed socket on the circuit board inside the case. Then, screws are used to fix the mounting bracket to the case, thus completing the installation. Conversely, they can be removed. However, the length of existing mounting brackets is generally fixed, making it impossible to adapt to devices of different sizes (such as mini PCs and industrial PCs). Therefore, an electronic engineering network adapter mounting bracket is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic engineering network adapter mounting bracket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0006] An electronic engineering network adapter mounting bracket includes a frame connected to a network adapter body. Two limiting grooves are fixedly connected to the side of the frame near the network adapter body. A movable frame is slidably connected in the two limiting grooves. A fixing plate connected to a chassis is formed at the top of the movable frame. A locking structure is provided on the side of the movable frame to position the extension length of the movable frame.

[0007] Preferably, the locking structure is a knob bolt, and a threaded hole is provided at the bottom of one side of the movable frame, and the knob bolt is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting plate is formed at the rear of the frame, and the network adapter body is fixedly connected to the connecting plate by screws.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the fixing plate is provided with bolt holes for fixing to the chassis.

[0010] Preferably, one side of the frame has a port corresponding to the network interface of the network adapter body, and one side of the frame is provided with a protective component.

[0011] Preferably, the protective component includes a fixed base fixedly connected to one side of the frame, a fixed shaft fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed base, a rotating plate rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed shaft, and a rubber ring corresponding to the insertion port fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate near the frame.

[0012] Preferably, a groove is provided on one side of the rotating plate, a torsion spring is sleeved on the surface of the fixed shaft, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixed seat.

[0013] The above-described technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Firstly, in this utility model, by pulling the movable frame, it can be moved upward along the limiting groove, and its extension length can be adjusted to adjust the height of the fixing plate, thereby adapting to equipment of different sizes and facilitating the fixing plate to be fixed to the chassis. Compared with the existing fixed-length mounting frame, its applicability is improved.

[0015] Secondly, in this utility model, the torsion spring exerts a force on the rotating plate, causing the rotating plate to tend to move closer to the frame. This causes the rotating plate to exert a force on the rubber ring, which presses against one side of the frame. The rubber ring protects the network interface when the network adapter is not in use, preventing dust from entering and improving its service life. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an electronic engineering network adapter mounting bracket for use in the field of electronic engineering. It can adapt to devices of different sizes, improving applicability. Technical solution:

[0026] An electronic engineering network adapter mounting bracket includes a frame 2 connected to a network adapter body 1. Two limiting grooves 3 are fixedly connected to the side of the frame 2 near the network adapter body 1. A movable frame 4 is slidably connected in the two limiting grooves 3. A fixing plate 5 connected to a chassis is formed at the top of the movable frame 4. A locking structure is provided on the side of the movable frame 4 to position the extension length of the movable frame 4.

[0027] Specifically, by pulling the movable frame 4, it can be moved upward along the limiting groove 3, and its extension length can be adjusted to adjust the height of the fixing plate 5, thereby adapting to equipment of different sizes and facilitating the fixing plate 5 to be fixed to the chassis. Compared with the existing fixed length mounting frame, its applicability is improved.

[0028] The locking structure is a knob bolt 6. A threaded hole is provided at the bottom of one side of the movable frame 4, and the knob bolt 6 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole. By tightening the knob bolt 6, one end of the knob bolt 6 presses against one side of the movable frame 4 to position the movable frame 4.

[0029] A connecting plate 7 is formed at the rear of the frame 2. The network adapter body 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 7 by screws 8. By setting the connecting plate 7, it is easy to fix the network adapter body 1 to the connecting plate 7.

[0030] The upper surface of the fixing plate 5 is provided with bolt holes 10 for fixing to the chassis. By providing bolt holes 10, it is easy to use bolts to connect the fixing plate 5 to the chassis.

[0031] One side of the frame 2 is provided with a socket 12 corresponding to the network interface 11 of the network adapter body 1. A protective component 9 is provided on one side of the frame 2. By providing the protective component 9, the network interface 11 is protected when it is not in use.

[0032] The protective component 9 includes a fixed base 901 fixedly connected to one side of the frame 2, a fixed shaft 902 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed base 901, a rotating plate 903 rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed shaft 902, and a rubber ring 904 corresponding to the socket 12 fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate 903 near the frame 2.

[0033] A groove 905 is provided on one side of the rotating plate 903, and a torsion spring 906 is sleeved on the surface of the fixed shaft 902. One end of the torsion spring 906 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 905, and the other end of the torsion spring 906 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixed base 901. The torsion spring 906 exerts a force on the rotating plate 903, causing the rotating plate 903 to tend to move closer to the frame 2. This causes the rotating plate 903 to exert a force on the rubber ring 904, causing the rubber ring 904 to press against one side of the frame 2. The rubber ring 904 protects the network interface 11 when the network adapter body 1 is idle, preventing dust from entering and improving its service life.

[0034] Working principle: When using this electronic engineering network adapter mounting bracket, the user first inserts the connector of the network adapter body into the preset socket on the circuit board inside the chassis. Then, the user pulls the movable bracket 4 to move it upward along the limiting groove 3, adjusting its extension length to adjust the height of the fixing plate 5. Then, the user tightens the knob bolt 6 so that one end of the knob bolt 6 presses against one side of the movable bracket 4 to position the movable bracket 4. Then, the fixing plate 5 is connected to the chassis using bolts to accommodate devices of different sizes. The torsion spring 906 exerts a force on the rotating plate 903, causing the rotating plate 903 to tend to move closer to the bracket body 2. This causes the rotating plate 903 to exert a force on the rubber ring 904, causing the rubber ring 904 to press against one side of the bracket body 2. When the network adapter body 1 is idle, the rubber ring 904 protects the network interface 11, preventing dust from entering and improving its service life. Compared with the fixed-length mounting brackets of the prior art, this improves its applicability.
