Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of communication server technology, and in particular relates to a communication server with a protective structure at the serial port. Background Technology
[0002] A communication server is a hardware or software system specifically designed to process and manage network communications. Its main function is to coordinate data exchange and information transmission between different devices, applications, or users. It acts as the core hub in a communication network, responsible for receiving, forwarding, storing, and distributing various forms of data (such as text, voice, and video), while ensuring the reliability, security, and efficiency of communication.
[0003] In the actual deployment and use of communication servers, the serial port, as a crucial interface for data transmission between devices, directly impacts the overall operation of the communication system due to its stability and reliability. When the plug is directly inserted into the serial port, the exposed metal contacts and interface gaps are constantly exposed to ambient air, inevitably subject to external factors. Dust particles floating in the air gradually accumulate on the metal contact surfaces of the plug or the internal pins of the serial port, forming a layer of insulating dirt. This leads to increased contact resistance, decreased signal transmission quality, and even communication interruptions.
[0004] Meanwhile, moisture or accidental liquid splashes in humid environments can seep into the interface, accelerating oxidation and corrosion of metal components and potentially causing short circuits. This is especially true in high-humidity or high-temperature environments, where condensation is more likely to accumulate at the interface. Furthermore, long-term exposure of plugs and serial ports can be affected by physical impacts or accidental pulling, further exacerbating the risk of poor contact. These potential problems reduce the stability of the communication link, increase maintenance costs, and even shorten the lifespan of the equipment. Therefore, the risks posed by this open connection method are particularly prominent in industrial sites, outdoor environments, or dusty applications. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a communication server with a protective structure at the serial port. This achieves multiple seals on the serial port and plug of the communication server, improving dust and water resistance, while also facilitating installation and disassembly.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a communication server with a protective structure at the serial port, comprising: The communication server body has an engagement edge on the outer surface of the communication server body corresponding to the serial port body. The engagement edge is surrounded by a semi-circular ring one and a semi-circular ring two, which are detachably connected to the outer side of the engagement edge in an engagement manner. The inner side of the semi-circular ring one and the semi-circular ring two is provided with a corrugated pipe. A plug, which is detachably disposed inside the bellows, is adapted to the serial port body.
[0007] Furthermore, a fixing ring is fixed at the front end of the serial port body, and the meshing edge is disposed on the outside of the fixing ring.
[0008] Furthermore, both the inner walls of the first and second semicircular rings are fixed with meshing rings, and one end of the meshing ring has a meshing groove, with the meshing edge inserted into the meshing groove.
[0009] Furthermore, fastening openings are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of one side of the semicircular ring, and fastening heads are respectively fixed at the upper and lower ends of one side of the semicircular ring, with the fastening heads inserted into the fastening openings.

An annular groove is formed on the outer wall of the corrugated pipe, and the meshing strip is inserted into the annular groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the corrugated pipe is provided with multiple annular grooves in a linear fashion, and the annular grooves are linearly distributed along the expansion and contraction direction of the corrugated pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, a connecting wire is installed at the front end of the plug, a threaded ring one is fixed on the outer wall of the plug, an external thread is opened on the outer wall of the threaded ring one, and a sealing ring one is fixed inside the external thread, a threaded ring two is fixed inside the bellows, an inner hole is opened in the center of the threaded ring two, and an internal thread is opened in the inner hole, and a sealing ring two is fixed inside the internal thread, so that the external thread and the internal thread are threadedly connected, and the sealing ring one and the sealing ring two are fitted together.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: When this utility model requires connecting and protecting the serial port connector of a communication server, the first semicircular ring and the second semicircular ring are joined together, the fastening head is inserted into the fastening port, and the engaging side is inserted into the engaging groove of the engaging ring. The rear end of the bellows extends into the first and second semicircular rings, and the engaging strip is inserted into the annular groove of the bellows. Finally, the first threaded ring and the second threaded ring are threaded together, and the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are engaged. The connector is then pressed tightly, allowing the connector to be inserted into the serial port body. This achieves multiple seals for the serial port and connector of the communication server, improving dust and water resistance, and facilitating installation and disassembly.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 8 The embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows: Example: A communication server with a protective structure at the serial port, including: The communication server body 1 has a meshing edge 2 on the outer surface of the communication server body 1 corresponding to the serial port body 4. The meshing edge 2 is surrounded by a semi-circular ring 6 and a semi-circular ring 11, and the semi-circular ring 6 and the semi-circular ring 11 are detachably connected to the outside of the meshing edge 2 in a meshing manner. A bellows 5 is provided on the inner side of the semi-circular ring 6 and the semi-circular ring 11. The plug 12 is detachably disposed inside the bellows 5 and is adapted to the serial port body 4.
[0021] As a preferred example of this utility model, the outer surface of the communication server body 1 is provided with an engaging edge 2 at the position corresponding to the serial port body 4. Semicircular ring 1 (6) and semicircular ring 2 (11) are detachably connected to the outer side of the engaging edge 2 in an engaging manner, ensuring the stability of their installation and providing convenient disassembly for subsequent maintenance and adjustment. When semicircular ring 1 (6) and semicircular ring 2 (11) are installed in place, they form a relatively enclosed space inside, providing a stable environment for the bellows 5, allowing it to be firmly placed within, thus providing all-around protection for the serial port body 4. The plug 12 is detachably located inside the bellows 5 and is compatible with the serial port body 4, satisfying the need for convenient connection and disconnection between the plug 12 and the serial port body 4, while also allowing the bellows 5 to fully perform its protective function. The bellows 5 isolates the plug 12 and the connection point between the plug 12 and the serial port body 4 from the external environment, effectively preventing the intrusion of external dust, impurities, moisture, etc., providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of serial communication.
[0022] Furthermore, a fixing ring 3 is fixed at the front end of the serial port body 4, and the meshing edge 2 is set on the outside of the fixing ring 3.
[0023] As a preferred example of this utility model, the retaining ring 3 fixed to the front end of the serial port body 4 provides support for the engagement edge 2 on its outer side, making the installation more stable. The retaining ring 3 itself possesses a certain structural strength. Its tight connection with the serial port body 4 not only provides a solid attachment point for the engagement edge 2, preventing deformation or loosening due to stress, but also enhances the overall structural strength of the front end of the serial port body 4. This allows subsequent protective components such as the semi-circular ring 6 and semi-circular ring 11 to obtain more reliable support during installation, reducing the possibility of installation misalignment or loosening of protective components due to unstable foundation structure, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the entire protective structure.
[0024] Furthermore, both the inner walls of the first semicircular ring 6 and the second semicircular ring 11 are fixed with meshing rings 8, and one end of the meshing ring 8 is provided with a meshing groove 19, with the meshing edge 2 inserted into the meshing groove 19.
[0025] As a preferred example of this utility model, the engaging ring 8, whose inner walls are fixed to both semicircular ring 6 and semicircular ring 11, has an engaging groove 19 at one end that matches the shape and size of the engaging edge 2. When the engaging edge 2 is inserted into the engaging groove 19, a tight interlocking relationship is formed between the two. This not only makes the connection between semicircular ring 6 and semicircular ring 11 and the engaging edge 2 more compact and secure, but also effectively restricts their displacement in all directions. Whether the communication server is subjected to slight vibration during use or to external force during installation and maintenance, semicircular ring 6 and semicircular ring 11 can be stably fixed to the outside of the engaging edge 2, without easily shifting or loosening, thus ensuring the integrity of the protective frame. This stable protective frame provides continuous and effective protection for the inner bellows 5, ensuring that the bellows 5 is always in the correct position and performs its protective function.
[0026] Furthermore, fastening ports 9 are respectively opened at the upper and lower ends of one side of the semi-circular ring 6, and fastening heads 10 are respectively fixed at the upper and lower ends of one side of the semi-circular ring 11, with the fastening heads 10 inserted into the fastening ports 9.
[0027] As a preferred example of this utility model, the fastening openings 9 at the top and bottom ends of one side of the semicircular ring 6 are adapted to the fastening heads 10 fixed at the top and bottom ends of one side of the semicircular ring 11. When the fastening heads 10 are inserted into the fastening openings 9, they are tightly connected together. This makes the semicircular ring 6 and the semicircular ring 11 form a complete ring structure, greatly improving the structural strength of the protective frame. The complete ring structure can better withstand external forces, effectively resisting both side impacts and tensile forces during installation, preventing the protective failure due to the separation of the semicircular rings. This more reliably protects the internal bellows 5 and the connection between the plug 12 and the serial port body 4 within the bellows 5, ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the protective function.
[0028] Furthermore, meshing strips 7 are fixed to the inner walls of both the first semicircular ring 6 and the second semicircular ring 11. A bellows 5 is inserted into the first semicircular ring 6 and the second semicircular ring 11. An annular groove 14 is opened on the outer wall of the bellows 5, and the meshing strips 7 are inserted into the annular groove 14.
[0029] As a preferred example of this utility model, the engaging strips 7, which are fixed to the inner walls of both the first semicircular ring 6 and the second semicircular ring 11, are shaped to fit the annular groove 14 on the outer wall of the bellows 5. When the engaging strips 7 are inserted into the annular groove 14, a tight engagement is formed between them. This engagement effectively prevents the bellows 5 from sliding axially or falling off radially during use, ensuring that the bellows 5 is firmly fixed within the first and second semicircular rings 6 and 11. Simultaneously, the tight contact between the engaging strips 7 and the annular groove 14 enhances the sealing between the bellows 5 and the semicircular rings, reducing the possibility of external impurities entering the interior through the gaps between them. This provides a cleaner and more stable environment for the plug 12 inside the bellows 5 and the connection point between the plug 12 and the serial port body 4, helping to ensure smooth communication.
[0030] Furthermore, the outer wall of the bellows 5 is provided with multiple annular grooves 14 in a linear manner, and the annular grooves 14 are linearly distributed along the expansion and contraction direction of the bellows 5.
[0031] As a preferred example of this utility model, the multiple annular grooves 14 linearly distributed along the expansion and contraction direction on the outer wall of the bellows 5 allow for more flexible and smooth expansion and contraction. When it is necessary to adjust the connection distance between the plug 12 and the serial port body 4, or when the length of the bellows 5 needs to be changed in different installation scenarios, the bellows 5 can be easily stretched or compressed according to actual needs. The multiple annular grooves 14 also provide more engagement positions for the meshing strip 7. After the bellows 5 expands and contracts, the appropriate annular groove 14 can be selected according to its expansion and contraction state to allow the meshing strip 7 to be inserted, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the bellows 5 and the semicircular ring 6 and the semicircular ring 11, maintaining a good fixing effect regardless of the length of the bellows 5.
[0032] Furthermore, a connecting wire 13 is installed at the front end of the plug 12, and a threaded ring 16 is fixed on the outer wall of the plug 12. The outer wall of the threaded ring 16 has an external thread, and a sealing ring 15 is fixed inside the external thread. A threaded ring 18 is fixed inside the bellows 5. The center of the threaded ring 18 has an inner hole, and the inner hole has an internal thread. A sealing ring 17 is fixed inside the internal thread, so that the external thread and the internal thread are threadedly connected, and the sealing ring 15 and the sealing ring 17 are fitted together.
[0033] As a preferred example of this utility model, the connecting wire 13 installed at the front end of the plug 12 is an important channel for signal transmission between the communication server and external devices, and it can stably transmit various data signals. The threaded ring 16 fixed to the outer wall of the plug 12 and the threaded ring 18 fixed inside the bellows 5 are connected by external and internal threads, which can firmly fix the plug 12 inside the bellows 5, providing high connection strength and effectively preventing the plug 12 from loosening due to vibration, pulling, or other reasons during use. Simultaneously, the sealing ring 15 fixed inside the external thread of the threaded ring 16 and the sealing ring 17 fixed inside the internal thread of the threaded ring 18 interlock, forming a tight seal. This effectively prevents moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering the connection between the plug 12 and the bellows 5, further improving the protective performance of the entire protective structure, ensuring stable and reliable signal transmission, and reducing the possibility of communication failures due to external environmental factors.
[0034] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to protect the serial port body 4 connector 12 of the communication server, firstly, the first semicircular ring 6 and the second semicircular ring 11 are connected. During this process, the fastening heads 10 fixed at the upper and lower ends of one side of the second semicircular ring 11 are accurately inserted into the fastening ports 9 opened at the upper and lower ends of one side of the first semicircular ring 6. As the two gradually approach each other, the fastening heads 10 and the fastening ports 9 form a tight insertion fit, firmly connecting the two semicircular rings together, initially constructing a protective frame surrounding the serial port body 4. At the same time, the meshing edges 2 fixed at both ends of the outer wall of the fixing ring 3 are accurately inserted into the meshing grooves 19 opened on the meshing rings 8 fixed on the inner walls of the first semicircular ring 6 and the second semicircular ring 11. This double insertion fit forms a stable connection between the first semicircular ring 6, the second semicircular ring 11 and the fixing ring 3, which not only ensures that the protective frame will not easily loosen or shift, but also provides solid support for the subsequent installation of other components. Next, the rear end of the bellows 5 is inserted into the already connected semicircular rings 6 and 11. At this point, the meshing strips 7 fixed to the inner walls of the semicircular rings 6 and 11 precisely correspond to the annular grooves 14 on the outer wall of the bellows 5. As the bellows 5 is gradually inserted, the meshing strips 7 smoothly enter the annular grooves 14. This meshing method creates a tight engagement between the bellows 5 and the semicircular rings 6 and 11, effectively preventing the bellows 5 from shifting or falling off due to external pulling or equipment vibration during subsequent use. Moreover, this tight connection enhances the sealing between the bellows 5 and the entire protective frame, preventing external dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the interior through gaps, creating a relatively clean environment for the subsequent connection of the plug 12. After installing the bellows 5, the plug 12 needs to be connected to the bellows 5. The external thread of the threaded ring 16 fixed on the outer wall of the plug 12 aligns with the internal thread of the threaded ring 18 fixed in the center of the bellows 5. By rotating the plug 12, the threaded ring 16 and the threaded ring 18 achieve a precise threaded connection. As the rotation continues, the connection becomes increasingly tight, ensuring that there will be no loosening between the plug 12 and the bellows 5. At the same time, the sealing ring 15 fixed in the external thread of the threaded ring 16 engages with the sealing ring 17 fixed in the internal thread of the threaded ring 18, forming a tight sealing barrier. This barrier further enhances the sealing performance of the connection, effectively preventing the intrusion of moisture, dust, and other impurities, and ensuring the stability of the internal connection. Finally, gently press the plug 12. Because the bellows 5 is made of an elastic material, it will compress and deform under pressure, causing the plug 12 to gradually approach and smoothly insert into the serial port body 4 at the front of the communication server body 1. This achieves multiple seals for the communication server serial port and the plug 12, improving dust and water resistance, while also facilitating installation and disassembly.

Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
