Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server equipment technology, specifically to a network interface anti-loosening component and a server. Background Technology
[0002] A server is a high-performance computing device in a computer network that provides specific services to client devices. It has powerful processing capabilities, large-capacity storage, and a stable operating system, and can work continuously for long periods of time. It receives requests sent by clients over the network, processes the requests according to preset programs, and then feeds back the processing results to the clients. In this way, it realizes a variety of functions such as data storage, resource sharing, and application operation (such as website hosting, database management, game services, etc.), and plays a core supporting role in enterprise information operation, Internet service provision, and various scientific research computing scenarios.
[0003] As a core device for data processing and transmission, the stable connection of a server's network interface (such as an RJ45 Ethernet port) directly affects the reliability of data transmission. In existing technologies, the connection between the server's network interface and external cables (such as network cables) mainly relies on the interface's own clips. However, this approach has the following drawbacks in practical applications: the complex environment of a server room may cause the cable to be accidentally touched, leading to tension that can gradually loosen the clip connection between the interface and the cable, resulting in increased packet loss or connection interruption; frequent cable plugging and unplugging can cause the interface clips to lose elasticity due to fatigue deformation, leading to a decrease in fixing force. Therefore, we need to propose a network interface anti-loosening component and a corresponding server. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a network interface anti-loosening component and a server. The upper and lower plates form a circular hole that is only suitable for the outer diameter of the network cable, and the inner bevel of the upper plate occupies the movement space of the RJ45 connector. This physically restricts the movement of the network cable and the RJ45 connector, preventing the interface and cable from becoming loose or falling off due to accidental pulling or frequent plugging and unplugging. This reduces the network packet loss rate and the risk of connection interruption, and ensures the reliability of data transmission, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A network interface anti-loosening component, comprising:
[0007] The main structure includes a positioning plate and a dust cover. The dust cover is integrally formed on one side of the positioning plate and surrounds the network cable.
[0008] An anti-loosening structure is provided at the outer end of the dust cover. The anti-loosening structure includes a lower plate and an upper plate. The lower plate is provided in the outer opening of the dust cover, and the upper plate is inserted into the dust cover. Both the lower plate and the upper plate are provided with wire holes for the network cable to pass through.
[0009] Preferably, the positioning plate has a square-shaped design, and through holes are symmetrically opened at the four corners of the positioning plate.
[0010] Preferably, when the upper plate is fixed, the wire holes on the lower plate and the upper plate form a circular hole that is only suitable for the outer diameter of the network cable, and the crystal head cannot pass through, thereby preventing the network cable from falling out of the dust cover.
[0011] Preferably, when the upper plate is fixed, the upper plate and the lower plate seal the outer opening of the dust cover, thereby providing good dust and dirt prevention.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the dust cover has a slot for inserting and fixing the upper plate.
[0013] Preferably, a fixing block is provided on one side of the upper end of the upper plate, and the fixing block is fixed to the top of the dust cover by fixing screws.

Both the upper and lower wire grooves are provided with semi-circular rubber covers at their outer ends. When the upper plate is fixed to the dust cover, the upper and lower wire grooves and the two sets of rubber covers close together to surround the network cable and form protection.
[0015] Preferably, the upper plate and the lower plate are staggered, and when the upper plate is fixed, the upper plate is located inside the lower plate. The inner side of the upper plate is provided with a slope. When the dust cover is inserted into the upper plate, the inner side of the upper plate with the slope occupies the movement space of the crystal head, thereby preventing the crystal head from falling off from the interface.
[0016] A server includes a network interface anti-loosening component, comprising a server body, the server body including a chassis shell, the chassis shell including a front panel, a rear panel, a left side panel, a right side panel and a top / bottom cover, each panel being detachably connected by bolts, the front panel having a reserved hard drive bay, and the rear panel being an installation area for network interfaces and power interfaces;
[0017] The main body of the server includes a motherboard module, which is located inside the chassis shell. The motherboard module integrates a CPU socket, memory slots, PCIe expansion slots and southbridge / northbridge chips. The PCIe expansion slots are located on the edge of the motherboard, near the rear panel of the chassis, and are used to install network interface cards.
[0018] The main body of the server includes a network interface located on the rear panel of the chassis. It is inserted into the PCIe slot of the motherboard via a PCIe expansion card. The interface end is exposed through a reserved opening on the rear panel. The positioning plate is fixed to the outside of the network interface with fixing screws.
[0019] The main body of the server also includes a cooling fan installed inside the chassis, and air intake and exhaust channels are provided on the chassis.
[0020] The server also includes a power module, which is mounted on a side panel of the chassis and is connected to the motherboard and other peripherals via power cables.

[0023] 1. This utility model forms a circular hole that is only suitable for the outer diameter of the network cable through the upper plate and the lower plate, and the inner bevel of the upper plate occupies the movement space of the RJ45 connector, which physically restricts the movement of the network cable and the RJ45 connector, preventing the interface and cable from becoming loose or falling off due to accidental pulling or frequent plugging and unplugging, reducing the network packet loss rate and the risk of connection interruption, and ensuring the reliability of data transmission.
[0024] 2. When fixing the upper plate, the outer opening of the dust cover should be sealed, and the upper cable tray, lower cable tray and rubber cover should be closed to surround the network cable, effectively preventing dust and dirt from entering the network interface, reducing problems such as poor contact caused by dust accumulation, and extending the service life of the interface.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 -4. This utility model provides a technical solution: a network interface anti-loosening component, comprising: a main structure, the main structure including a positioning plate 5 and a dust cover 7, the dust cover 7 being integrally formed on one side of the positioning plate 5, the dust cover 7 enclosing the network cable; an anti-loosening structure, disposed at the outer end of the dust cover 7, the anti-loosening structure including a lower plate 8 and an upper plate 11, the lower plate 8 being disposed in the outer opening of the dust cover 7, the upper plate 11 being inserted into the dust cover 7, and both the lower plate 8 and the upper plate 11 having wire holes for the network cable to pass through. The positioning plate 5 is designed in a U-shape, with through holes 6 symmetrically opened at the four corners of the positioning plate 5. When the upper plate 11 is fixed, the wire holes on the lower plate 8 and the upper plate 11 form a circular hole that only accommodates the outer diameter of the network cable, preventing the RJ45 connector from passing through, thereby preventing the network cable from falling out of the dust cover 7.
[0033] The positioning plate 5 has a U-shaped design and uses through holes 6 symmetrically opened at the four corners to cooperate with the fixing structure on the server (such as the positioning groove 3). The fixing screws are used to achieve a rigid connection between the component and the server. The dust cover 7 is integrally formed with the positioning plate 5, surrounds and wraps the network interface 2 and the inserted network cable crystal head, forming a closed space to isolate the interface from the complex external environment.
[0034] The U-shaped positioning plate 5 is adapted to the positioning slot 3 of the server to ensure that the anti-loosening component is coaxially aligned with the network interface 2. The four corner through holes 6 can withstand lateral tension after being fixed by screws, preventing the component from shifting. The dust cover 7 completely surrounds the connection part of the crystal head and the interface, blocking dust, moisture and accidental contact in the computer room, reducing the interference of external factors on the connection stability.
[0035] Meanwhile, the lower plate 8 is fixed inside the opening at the outer end of the dust cover 7, and the upper plate 11 is installed on the dust cover 7 by plugging in. When the wire holes of the two are closed, they form a round hole that is precisely matched with the outer diameter of the network cable (the diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the network cable by 0.1-0.2mm), but smaller than the diameter of the RJ45 head (the diameter of the RJ45 head is about 8mm). This physically prevents the RJ45 head from coming out of the dust cover 7 without affecting the normal transmission of the network cable.
[0036] The closed cable opening restricts the axial movement of the network cable. When the cable is accidentally pulled, the tension is borne by the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 8, rather than the interface clip, thus preventing the clip from loosening due to continuous force. The upper plate 11 adopts a plug-in design, which can be installed and removed without complicated tools, balancing anti-loosening effect with ease of maintenance.
[0037] For a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 -4: When the upper plate 11 is fixed, the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 8 seal the outer opening of the dust cover 7, thus providing good dust and dirt protection. The top of the dust cover 7 has a slot 10 for the upper plate 11 to be inserted and fixed. A fixing block 14 is provided on one side of the upper end of the upper plate 11, and the fixing block 14 is fixed to the top of the dust cover 7 by fixing screws.
[0038] A slot 10 is provided on the top of the dust cover 7. After the upper plate 11 is inserted into the slot 10, it is locked in place by the fixing block 14 and screws. At this time, the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 8 completely seal the outer opening of the dust cover 7, forming a sealed space. The screws provide locking force to ensure that the upper plate 11 will not fall off under vibration. The sealed design creates a relatively clean environment inside the dust cover 7, reducing the amount of dust intrusion and lowering the risk of poor contact caused by dust accumulation at the interface. The slot 10 and screws double-fix the upper plate 11 to prevent the upper plate 11 from shifting due to vibration in the computer room and ensure that the cable holes always remain closed.
[0039] For a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 -4: A semi-circular upper wire groove 12 is provided on the outside of the wire hole of the upper plate 11, and a semi-circular lower wire groove 9 is provided on the outside of the wire hole of the lower plate 8. Both the upper wire groove 12 and the lower wire groove 9 are provided with semi-circular rubber covers 13 at their outer ends. When the upper plate 11 is fixed to the dust cover 7, the upper wire groove 12, the lower wire groove 9 and the two sets of rubber covers 13 are closed to surround the network cable and form protection.
[0040] When the upper groove 12 of the upper plate 11 and the lower groove 9 of the lower plate 8 are closed, they form a complete groove that wraps around the middle of the network cable. The semi-circular rubber covers 13 (hardness 50-60 Shore A) at both ends are elastic and fit tightly against the surface of the network cable after closing. This does not affect the bending of the network cable and can absorb lateral tension.
[0041] The rubber cover 13 absorbs some of the accidental pulling force through elastic deformation, further reducing the stress transmitted to the interface clip and extending the service life of the clip. The cable tray guides the network cable along a fixed path, avoiding damage to the internal core of the network cable caused by excessive bending; the rubber cover 13 directly contacts the network cable, preventing the cable from being scratched by metal or hard plastic edges.
[0042] For a preferred implementation, please refer to Figure 1 -4: The upper plate 11 and the lower plate 8 are staggered, and when the upper plate 11 is fixed, it is located inside the lower plate 8. The upper plate 11 has a bevel 15 on its inner side. When the upper plate 11 is inserted into the dust cover 7, the inner side of the upper plate 11 with the bevel 15 occupies the movement space of the crystal head, thereby preventing the crystal head from falling off the interface. The upper plate 11 and the lower plate 8 are staggered. After the upper plate 11 is fixed, it is located inside the lower plate 8. The bevel 15 (inclination angle 30-45°) on its inner side extends into the dust cover 7, occupying the peripheral space of the crystal head and the interface connection part, and restricting the axial movement of the crystal head.
[0043] The bevel 15 structure applies a slight pre-tightening force from the rear end of the crystal head while occupying the space between the crystal head and the lower plate 8. Together with the interface crystal head's own clip, it forms a double fixation. Even if the clip loosens slightly due to fatigue, it can still prevent the crystal head from completely detaching from the interface.
[0044] This utility model provides a server, including a network interface anti-loosening component, comprising a server body 1, which includes a chassis shell, a front panel, a rear panel, a left side panel, a right side panel, and a top / bottom cover. Each panel is detachably connected by bolts. The front panel has a reserved hard drive bay, and the rear panel is the installation area for the network interface 2 and the power interface. The server body 1 includes a motherboard module located inside the chassis shell. The motherboard module integrates a CPU socket 10, a memory slot 10, a PCIe expansion slot, and a southbridge / northbridge chip. The PCIe expansion slot is located on the edge of the motherboard. The server body 1 includes a network interface 2 located near the rear panel of the chassis. It is inserted into the PCIe slot 10 of the motherboard via a PCIe expansion card. The interface end is exposed through a pre-drilled hole in the rear panel. The positioning plate 5 is fixed to the outside of the network interface 2 with screws. The server body 1 also includes a cooling fan installed inside the chassis shell, and air intake and exhaust channels are provided on the chassis shell. The server body 1 also includes a power module, which is installed on a side panel of the chassis shell. The power module is connected to the motherboard and other peripherals via a power cable harness.
[0045] For a preferred implementation, please refer to Figure 1-3: A positioning groove 3 is provided on the outer shell of the chassis around the network interface 2. The positioning groove 3 and the positioning plate 5 are compatible. Screw holes 4 are symmetrically arranged in the positioning groove 3. After the positioning plate 5 is placed in the positioning groove 3, the fixing screw is installed inside the screw hole 4 through the through hole 6 on the positioning plate 5.
[0046] The positioning slot 3 on the chassis shell is precisely matched to the positioning plate 5. The screw holes 4 in the positioning slot 3 correspond one-to-one with the through holes 6 on the positioning plate 5. After the fixing screw passes through the through hole 6, it is screwed into the screw hole 4. The threaded locking force tightly fixes the positioning plate 5 in the positioning slot 3, achieving a rigid connection between the component and the server. The positioning slot 3 provides a precise installation position for the anti-loosening component, ensuring that the coaxiality error between the center of the cable hole and the center of the network interface 2 is ≤0.3mm, avoiding uneven cable stress caused by misalignment. The tight fit between the positioning slot 3 and the positioning plate 5 reduces the relative displacement between the component and the server, ensuring structural stability during long-term use.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
