Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network connector technology, and in particular to a network connector that is easy to identify. Background Technology
[0002] A network connector is a physical interface or plug used to connect network cables to network devices, and is a key component for enabling wired network communication between devices. It is responsible for establishing a stable and reliable electrical connection to transmit data signals.
[0003] Patent CN208608465U discloses a network connector. It includes a plastic housing body with pin headers and LEDs. A metal plate structure is also snapped onto the interface of the plastic housing body, and this metal plate structure has a metal clip that engages with a network cable clip. When using this patent, the network cable connector is inserted into the interface on the plastic housing body. However, this existing patent lacks protection and heat dissipation functions. Upon drop or impact, the plastic housing may crack or shatter, damaging internal components such as the pin headers and LEDs. Furthermore, after prolonged use, the internal temperature of the connector continues to rise, accelerating the aging, brittleness, and even deformation of the plastic housing.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an easily identifiable network connector with protective and heat dissipation structures. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing patents, such as lack of protection and heat dissipation, cracking or shattering of the plastic shell upon drop or impact, resulting in damage to internal components such as pin headers and LEDs, and the continuous rise in internal temperature after prolonged use, which accelerates the aging, brittleness, and even deformation of the plastic shell, this utility model provides an easily identifiable network connector with a protective and heat dissipation structure.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: an easily identifiable network connector, comprising a network connector and network cables, with four network cables inserted into the network connector. It also includes a bottom shell, an upper shell, a cooling plate, a fixing block, a guide block, a sliding rod, a plug rod, and an elastic element. The network connector has a bottom shell, and the upper shell is inserted into the bottom shell. A cooling plate is installed inside the upper shell. Two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom shell, and two guide blocks are fixedly connected to the upper shell. A sliding rod is slidably mounted on each guide block, and a plug rod is fixedly connected to each sliding rod. An elastic element is fitted onto the sliding rod, with both ends of the elastic element connected to the plug rod and the guide block, respectively.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes airbags, connecting pipes, air tanks, and air pumps. Two air tanks are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower shells, and four airbags are provided on both the lower and upper shells. An air pump is installed on each air tank, and a connecting pipe connects the air pump to the airbag.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting plate and a lever, with the connecting plate fixedly connected between the two slide rods and the lever fixedly connected to the connecting plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the airbag is semi-circular.
[0010] Furthermore, a positioning rod is fixedly connected to the upper shell, and the positioning rod is inserted into the bottom shell.
[0011] Furthermore, the end of the insertion rod is semi-circular.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. By engaging the bottom shell and the top shell and loosening the connecting plate, the elastic element rebounds and drives the sliding rod and the insertion rod to move inward, so that the insertion rod is inserted into the fixing block of the bottom shell, thereby achieving rapid locking and sealing of the bottom shell and the top shell. The cooling plate absorbs and dissipates the heat generated by the connector during operation, preventing overheating.
[0013] 2. By starting the air pump, the air pump fills the air bag with gas from the air tank through the connecting pipe, causing the air bag to inflate and provide flexible cushioning to reduce the impact on the connector. At the same time, it enhances the sealing of the housing and prevents dust from entering. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] 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.
[0021] Example 1: An easily identifiable network connector, see [link / reference] Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a network connector 1 and a network cable 2. The network connector 1 has network cables 2 symmetrically inserted into its left and right sides. It also includes a bottom shell 3, an upper shell 4, a cooling plate 5, a fixing block 6, a guide block 7, a sliding rod 8, a plug rod 9, and an elastic element 10. The bottom shell 3 is located at the bottom of the network connector 1, and the upper shell 4 is inserted into the bottom shell 3. The connectors of the network connector 1 and the network cable 2 are located inside the bottom shell 3 and the upper shell 4. The cooling plate 5 is installed in the upper part of the upper shell 4 by bolts. The fixing blocks 6 are welded to both the front and rear sides of the bottom shell 3. The guide blocks 7 are welded to both the front and rear sides of the upper shell 4. The sliding rod 8 is slidably installed on the guide block 7. The plug rod 9 is welded to the end of the sliding rod 8 and is inserted into the adjacent fixing block 6. The elastic element 10 is sleeved on the sliding rod 8, and the two ends of the elastic element 10 are connected to the plug rod 9 and the guide block 7, respectively.
[0022] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a connecting plate 15 and a lever 16. The connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected between the two slide rods 8, and the lever 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 15.
[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper shell 4 has positioning rods fixedly connected to both the left and right sides symmetrically, and the positioning rods are inserted into the bottom shell 3.
[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the insertion rod 9 is semi-circular.
[0025] When using this device, connect the network cable 2 to the network connector 1, and then snap the bottom shell 3 and the top shell 4 onto the network connector 1, so that the bottom shell 3 and the top shell 4 cover the body of the network connector 1 and the plug of the network cable 2. Before snapping the bottom shell 3 and the top shell 4 together, first move the connecting plate 15 backward by using the toggle block 16. The connecting plate 15 drives the two sliding rods 8 and the two plug rods 9 to move backward and squeeze the elastic element 10. Then snap the bottom shell 3 and the top shell 4 together and release the connecting plate 15. The elastic element 10 then rebounds and drives the sliding rods 8 and the plug rods 9 to move inward, so that the plug rods 9 are inserted into the fixing block 6 of the bottom shell 3, realizing the quick locking and sealing of the bottom shell 3 and the top shell 4. The cooling plate 5 absorbs and dissipates the heat generated by the connector during operation to prevent overheating.
[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an airbag 11, a connecting pipe 12, an air tank 13, and an air pump 14. The upper shell 4 and the bottom shell 3 are both fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the air tank 13. The bottom shell 3 and the upper shell 4 are each provided with four airbags 11. The air pump 14 is provided on the air tank 13 by means of bolt connection. The air pump 14 is connected to the airbag 11 by a connecting pipe 12.
[0027] See Figure 4 As shown, airbag 11 is semi-circular.
[0028] When the bottom shell 3 and the upper shell 4 are engaged, the two semi-annular airbags 11 press against the network cable 2. Then, by activating the air pump 14, the air pump 14 fills the airbag 11 with gas from the air tank 13 through the connecting pipe 12, causing the airbag 11 to inflate and expand, providing flexible cushioning, reducing the impact on the connector, and enhancing the shell's sealing to prevent dust from entering.
