Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network connector technology, specifically a protective sleeve that helps to easily remove the connector. Background Technology
[0002] An RJ45 connector is a standardized plug used to connect network cables to device interfaces (such as routers, switches, and computer network ports). It gets its name from its transparent or semi-transparent outer shell and the neatly arranged metal contacts inside, resembling a crystal. The connector has spring contacts on top. When the connector is inserted into the corresponding interface, the raised portion of the spring contacts protrudes outside the interface. However, the exposed portion of the spring contacts is relatively short. When it is necessary to remove the connector, it is difficult to press the spring contacts precisely with your fingers. If the force is applied incorrectly, the spring contacts may not be fully depressed, and the locked state cannot be released, leaving the connector stuck inside the interface. This makes removing the connector neither quick nor convenient. If the connector is difficult to remove, repeated attempts to press the spring contacts are necessary. Over time, this leads to spring contact fatigue, meaning the spring contacts gradually lose elasticity, the raised angle becomes smaller, and greater pressure is required to unlock, further exacerbating the difficulty in removing the connector. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a protective sleeve that helps to easily remove the crystal head, so as to solve the technical problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A protective sleeve for facilitating easy removal of crystal head connectors includes a sleeve body and a pressing block rotatably connected above the sleeve body. The pressing block includes a main body rotatably mounted to the sleeve body. The front end of the main body is a pressure plate extending toward the spring contact of the crystal head. One side of the pressure plate is fixedly connected to the main body, and the other side is suspended above the sleeve body and tilted upwards. The pressure plate is above the spring contact of the crystal head. A buckle plate is connected to the rear side of the main body. The buckle plate is vertically oriented, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the main body through an arc-shaped connecting part. The top of the buckle plate extends upwards and protrudes from the top surface of the main body.
[0006] The sheath body includes a base, and a tail sleeve is connected to the rear end of the base. The base is provided with a first through hole for matching with the cable, and the tail sleeve is provided with a second through hole that communicates with the first through hole. The front end of the base is symmetrically provided with a first clip and a second clip for fastening with the crystal head on the left and right sides. The first clip and the second clip have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the first through hole.
[0007] The base is provided with a rotating shaft at both the left and right ends, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the main body. A torsion spring is installed on the rotating shaft on the left and / or right side of the base, and the torsion spring is supported between the main body and the base.
[0008] The base has an arc-shaped concave storage section near the tail sleeve. The storage section has a support block for supporting the main body of the pressing block. The pivot is located at the left and right ends of the support block. The width of the support block is smaller than the width of the storage section. The left and right ends of the support block form a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove with the difference between the width and height of the storage section, respectively. The main body includes a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, and a third connecting plate connected in sequence. The front and rear ends of the second connecting plate are perpendicular to the first connecting plate and the third connecting plate, respectively. The first connecting plate and the third connecting plate are rotatably connected to the base through the pivot. The first connecting plate is in the first receiving groove, and the third connecting plate is in the second receiving groove.
[0009] The width of the pressure plate increases as it approaches the main body. A groove is provided below the front end of the pressure plate, which is used to accommodate the spring of the crystal head.
[0010] The tail sleeve has hollowed-out grooves around its perimeter.
[0011] The top surface of the buckle plate is higher than or level with the top surface of the pressure plate.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the protective sleeve provided in this application assists in the easy removal of RJ45 connectors. It eliminates the need to specifically locate the spring contacts. By pushing the retaining plate, the pressure plate is pressed against the spring contacts of the RJ45 connector, allowing for quick separation of the spring contacts from the interface and easy removal of the connector. The pressing block in this application amplifies the force using leverage, utilizing the pushing plate to press the spring contacts. This is less strenuous than directly pressing the spring contacts and avoids issues such as incomplete pressing and jamming. It ensures precise pressing of the spring contacts with each push of the retaining plate, effectively extending the lifespan of the RJ45 connector. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0022] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In this embodiment of the application, a protective sleeve for facilitating the removal of crystal head includes a sleeve body 1 and a pressing block 6 rotatably connected above the sleeve body 1. The pressing block 6 includes a main body 7 rotatably mounted with the sleeve body 1. The front end of the main body 7 is a pressure plate 8 extending toward the spring 13 of the crystal head 12. One side of the pressure plate 8 is fixedly connected to the main body 7, and the other side is suspended above the sleeve body 1 and tilted upward. The pressure plate 8 is above the spring 13 of the crystal head 12. A buckle 9 is connected to the rear side of the main body 7. The buckle 9 is set in a vertical direction. The bottom of the buckle 9 is fixedly connected to the main body 7 through an arc-shaped connecting part. The top of the buckle 9 extends upward and protrudes from the top surface of the main body 7.
[0023] In this application, the width of the pressure plate 8 increases as it approaches the main body 7. A horizontal pressing part is provided at the position where the front end of the pressure plate 8 contacts the spring piece 13. A sliding groove 801 that passes through the front end of the pressure plate 8 is provided below the pressing part. The sliding groove 801 is used to accommodate the spring piece 13 of the crystal head 12. The spring piece 13 slides in the sliding groove 801, thereby limiting the position of the spring piece 13.
[0024] The top surface of the buckle plate 9 is higher than or level with the top surface of the pressure plate 8. In this embodiment, the top surface of the buckle plate 9 is level with the top surface of the pressure plate 8.
[0025] The sheath body 1 in this application includes a base 2, and a tail sleeve 5 is connected to the rear end of the base 2. The base 2 has a rectangular structure and a first through hole 201 for matching with the cable. The tail sleeve 5 has a second through hole 501 that communicates with the first through hole 201. Hollowed-out grooves 502 are provided around the tail sleeve 5. The grooves 502 are arranged along the transverse direction of the tail sleeve 5 to prevent the tail sleeve 5 from bending and breaking at the connection point with the cable.
[0026] The base 2 has a first retaining strip 3 and a second retaining strip 4 symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the front end to engage with the crystal head 12. The first retaining strip 3 and the second retaining strip 4 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the first through hole 201. When assembling with the crystal head 12, the two retaining strips are inserted into the crystal head 12 and engage with it. In this embodiment, the base 2, the tail sleeve 5, and the first retaining strip 3 and the second retaining strip 4 are an integral injection molded structure.
[0027] The base 2 has a rotating shaft 10 at each of its left and right ends. The rotating shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the main body 7. A torsion spring 11 is installed on the rotating shaft 10 on the left and / or right sides of the base 2. The torsion spring 11 is supported between the main body 7 and the base 2. In this embodiment, the torsion spring 11 is installed on the rotating shaft 10 on the left side of the base 2 to support the main body 7 of the pressing block 6.
[0028] The base 2 has an arc-shaped concave storage section 202 near the tail sleeve 5. The storage section 202 has a protruding support block 203 for supporting the main body 7 of the pressing block 6. The pivot 10 is located at the left and right ends of the support block 203. The width W2 of the support block 203 is smaller than the width W1 of the storage section 202. The difference between the left and right ends of the support block 203 and the width and height of the storage section 202 respectively forms a first receiving groove 204 and a second receiving groove 205. The main body 7 includes a first connecting plate 701 connected in sequence. The second connecting plate 702 and the third connecting plate 703 are perpendicular to the first connecting plate 701 and the third connecting plate 703 at their front and rear ends, respectively. The first connecting plate 701 and the third connecting plate 703 are rotatably connected to the base 2 via the rotating shaft 10. The first connecting plate 701 is in the first receiving groove 204, and the third connecting plate 703 is in the second receiving groove 205. The bottom of the first connecting plate 701 and the third connecting plate 703 are provided with an arc-shaped structure that matches the curvature of the top surface of the placement part 202.
[0029] When unlocking the crystal head 12 from the interface, simply push the snap plate 9 towards the spring 13. The pressure plate 8 will rotate downward along the pivot 10, thereby squeezing the spring 13 downward and disengaging it from the interface. Then, simply pull out the crystal head 12. After the crystal head 12 is pulled out, release the pressure on the snap plate 9. Both the snap plate 9 and the pressure plate 8 will reset under the force of the torsion spring 11, and the spring 13 will also reset at the same time as the pressure plate 8 resets.
[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the protective sleeve provided in this application assists in the easy removal of RJ45 connectors. It eliminates the need to specifically locate the spring contacts. By pushing the retaining plate, the pressure plate is pressed against the spring contacts of the RJ45 connector, allowing for quick separation of the spring contacts from the interface and easy removal of the connector. The pressing block in this application amplifies the force using leverage, utilizing the pushing plate to press the spring contacts. This is less strenuous than directly pressing the spring contacts and avoids issues such as incomplete pressing and jamming. It ensures precise pressing of the spring contacts with each push of the retaining plate, effectively extending the lifespan of the RJ45 connector.
