[0004] Therefore, a multi-port network connector that is easy to maintain or replace is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing patented port modules and connector bodies being fixedly connected, which require tools to disassemble the entire connector when a specific interface needs to be replaced or repaired, as it cannot be disassembled independently and there is a risk of damaging other normal ports, this utility model provides a multi-port network connector that is easy to maintain or replace.

[0006] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: A multi-port network connector includes a fixed plate, an isolation frame, screw rods, support blocks, interface terminals, springs, and retaining balls. The isolation frame is slidably mounted on top of the fixed plate. Screw rods are screwed onto both sides of the fixed plate, inserting into the sides of the isolation frame. Multiple support blocks are pluggable mounted on the front of the fixed plate, with the isolation frame covering the support blocks. Interface terminals are located inside the support blocks. Multiple retaining balls are slidably mounted inside the fixed plate, engaging with slots in the support blocks. Springs connect the retaining balls to the fixed plate. This provides electromagnetic shielding and physical protection.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting plate, a limiting ring, a silicone plate, and screws. The connecting plate is installed in the middle of the fixing plate by two screws.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-port network connector with the following advantages: 1. Loosen the screw rods on both sides to release the lock on the isolation frame, then remove the isolation frame from the fixing plate, and then pull the support block to be replaced upward. During its movement, it will squeeze the retaining ball, causing the retaining ball to compress the spring and disengage from the slot. After the retaining ball is completely disengaged, the support block can be pulled out as a whole for easy maintenance or replacement.

[0013] 2. The limiting ring is used to guide and fix the direction of the cable. Its inner wall is bonded with a silicone plate, which can flexibly hug and buffer the cable as it passes through, effectively preventing the cable from being worn due to shaking.

[0014] 3. The cooling fan draws outside air into the isolation frame, promoting air circulation. When multiple interfaces generate heat, the hot air is expelled from the air vents on the back of the isolation frame with the airflow, achieving effective heat dissipation and ensuring stable operation of the connector.

Figures 1-5 The device includes a fixed plate 1, an isolation frame 2, a screw rod 3, a support block 5, an interface end 6, a spring 7, and a retaining ball 8. The isolation frame 2 is slidably mounted on top of the fixed plate 1. Screw rods 3 are screwed onto both sides of the fixed plate 1 and are inserted into the sides of the isolation frame 2. Four support blocks 5 are pluggable mounted on the front of the fixed plate 1. The isolation frame 2 covers the support blocks 5 and provides electromagnetic shielding and physical protection. An interface end 6 is located inside the support block 5. Several retaining balls 8 are slidably mounted inside the fixed plate 1 and are inserted into the slots of the support blocks 5. A spring 7 connects the retaining balls 8 to the fixed plate 1. Rubber rings 4 are installed on the four vents on the rear side of the isolation frame 2 to further protect the cables and prevent damage caused by friction or compression. A shock-absorbing pad 16 is installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 1 to absorb impact when the equipment vibrates and protect internal components. An anti-slip pad 17 is installed on the screw rod 3 to increase the friction between the hand and the screw rod 3 and facilitate the rotation of the screw rod 3.

[0023] During installation, first insert the four support blocks 5 into the corresponding slots at the front end of the fixing plate 1 in sequence. During insertion, the side walls of the support blocks 5 press against the retaining balls 8, causing them to move inward, while simultaneously compressing the springs 7. When the support blocks 5 are fully inserted, the springs 7 rebound, pushing the retaining balls 8 outward and locking them into the slots of the support blocks 5, thus fixing the support blocks 5 onto the fixing plate 1. Then, cover the fixing plate 1 with the isolation frame 2, making it cover the installed support blocks 5. Next, tighten the screw rods 3 on the left and right sides of the fixing plate 1, causing the screw rods 3 to screw into the fixing plate 1 and insert into the isolation frame. The isolation frame 2 is locked onto the fixing plate 1 through the side hole of the frame 2. When in use, the network cable with the interface plug is inserted into the interface end 6 in the support block 5 to achieve electrical connection. When it is necessary to replace or repair an interface module, first loosen the screw rods 3 on both sides to release the lock on the isolation frame 2, then remove the isolation frame 2 from the fixing plate 1. Next, pull the support block 5 to be replaced upward. During its movement, it will squeeze the locking ball 8, causing the locking ball 8 to compress the spring 7 and disengage from the slot. After the locking ball 8 is completely disengaged, the support block 5 can be pulled out as a whole for easy maintenance or replacement.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 4 It also includes a connecting plate 9, a limiting ring 10, a silicone plate 11 and screws 12. The connecting plate 9 is installed in the middle of the fixing plate 1 by two screws 12. Four limiting rings 10 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 9. The silicone plate 11 is adhered to the inner wall of the limiting ring 10.

[0025] When using the connector, the limiting ring 10 is used to guide and fix the direction of the cable. Its inner wall is bonded with a silicone plate 11, which can flexibly hug and buffer the cable passing through, effectively preventing the cable from being worn due to shaking.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 It also includes a support frame 13, a cooling fan 14 and a dustproof net 15. The support frame 13 is installed on the top of the isolation frame 2, the cooling fan 14 is installed inside the support frame 13, and the dustproof net 15 is embedded in the top of the support frame 13 to prevent dust from entering the isolation frame 2 and affecting the circuit performance.

[0027] The cooling fan 14 runs continuously, drawing outside air into the isolation frame 2 to promote air circulation. When multiple interfaces generate heat, the hot air is discharged from the air outlet on the rear side of the isolation frame 2 with the airflow, achieving effective heat dissipation and ensuring stable operation of the connector.
