Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of network interface technology, and in particular to a network interface structure and a laptop computer. Background Technology

[0002] A network crystal head, also known as an RJ45 connector, is a device used for network connections. It is commonly used for network connections in electronic devices. Laptops, as electronic devices used for daily work or entertainment, are usually equipped with network interfaces that correspond to the network crystal head. By plugging the network crystal head into the network interface, the laptop can achieve network connection.

[0003] In related technologies, traditional network interface structures are not easy to disassemble and maintain. When the network interface structure is damaged and the RJ45 connector connection is not stable, it is difficult to adjust, repair or replace parts. Usually, the entire network interface structure needs to be replaced, which increases the maintenance cost of the network interface structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a network interface structure and a laptop computer to solve the problems of inconvenient disassembly and maintenance and high maintenance costs of the network interface structure of the network connector of the laptop computer in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this application provides a network interface structure, installed on a laptop computer, for connecting a network crystal head, including:

[0006] At least two mounting bases are disposed opposite to each other on the casing of the laptop computer, and each mounting base has a mounting slot.

[0007] A flip cover has a mounting part and a driving part connected to each other. The mounting part of the flip cover is located between two mounting seats. Rotary shafts extend from both sides of the mounting part toward the mounting groove and are rotatably engaged in the mounting groove.

[0008] The mounting bracket is detachably mounted on the mounting base, and the mounting bracket covers the mounting groove and the mounting portion;

[0009] An elastic element, the two ends of which abut against the mounting bracket and the mounting portion, respectively;

[0010] When the network connector is inserted, the network connector presses down on the drive unit and drives the rotating shaft to rotate in the first direction, causing the front end of the mounting part to tilt up and move towards the mounting bracket, and pressing the elastic element.

[0011] When the network connector is pulled out, the elastic element pushes the front end of the mounting part to move away from the mounting bracket, and drives the rotating shaft to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction, causing the driving part to tilt up and return to its original position.

[0012] Optionally, the mounting part is provided with a positioning post for positioning the elastic element, and the elastic element is movably sleeved on the positioning post.

[0013] The elastic element is positioned on the mounting part by the positioning pin, which facilitates the installation and replacement of the elastic element.

[0014] Optionally, the elastic element is configured as a conical spring, with the small-diameter end of the conical spring sleeved on the positioning post and abutting against the mounting part, and the large-diameter end of the conical spring abutting against the mounting bracket.

[0015] Because the mounting bracket limits the height of the front end of the mounting part, the change in the diameter of the conical spring can achieve a gradual or decreasing elastic force curve during compression, and can reduce the risk of resonance, ensuring that it can be safely flattened under structural height restrictions.

[0016] Optionally, when the conical spring is sleeved on the positioning post, there is a gap between the small-diameter end of the conical spring and the positioning post.

[0017] By setting the gap, it is possible to ensure that the small diameter end of the conical spring is fitted onto the positioning post with appropriate tightness. This avoids the spring being too loose, which could cause it to tilt during installation, and also avoids it being too tight, which would make it difficult to disassemble and replace.

[0018] Optionally, limiting blocks extend from both sides of the mounting portion toward the mounting base, and the limiting blocks are disposed near the rotating shaft to limit the mounting portion when the flip cover is installed.

[0019] The flip cover is limited to the left and right by the limiting block, which restricts the gap between the mounting part and the mounting base, so that the mounting part can remain centered when installed between the mounting bases, thereby improving the stability and firmness of the overall structure.

[0020] Optionally, each of the mounting bases has a first mounting hole, and the mounting bracket has at least two second mounting holes. When the mounting bracket is installed on the mounting base, the second mounting holes correspond to the two first mounting holes respectively. Fasteners are passed through the second mounting holes and the first mounting holes in sequence to fix the mounting bracket to the mounting base.

[0021] Fasteners are inserted through the first and second mounting holes to achieve a detachable connection between the mounting bracket and the mounting base, which facilitates the maintenance and disassembly of the overall structure.

[0022] Optionally, each of the mounting bases is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the mounting bracket is provided with at least two positioning holes, which cooperate with the positioning protrusions to position the mounting bracket on the mounting base.

[0023] The positioning protrusion and positioning port work together to position the mounting bracket on the mounting base, making it easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0024] Optionally, limiting bosses are provided on both sides of the drive unit to limit the drive unit during the movement of the flip cover.

[0025] During the movement of the drive unit, the limiting bosses on both sides of the drive unit can reduce the gap between the two sides of the drive unit and the housing, preventing the drive unit from shifting left or right during movement. At the same time, when it is necessary to replace the flip cover, the limiting bosses of the drive unit cooperate with the limiting blocks of the mounting part to limit the flip cover left and right, ensuring that the flip cover can be centered after installation.

[0026] Optionally, a clearance structure is provided at the bottom rear end of the mounting part, and the clearance structure is spaced apart from the casing of the laptop to provide movement space for the flip cover.

[0027] When the network connector is inserted, the network connector presses down on the drive unit, and the rear end of the mounting unit moves accordingly, providing space for the movement of the rear end of the mounting unit until the clearance structure contacts the laptop casing. At this point, the front end of the mounting unit tilts up and contacts the mounting bracket, allowing the network connector to be successfully plugged in.

[0028] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a laptop computer, including the network interface structure described above.

[0029] In the network interface structure provided in this application, the flip cover is disposed between two mounting bases and is rotatably secured in the mounting slot via a pivot. When the network connector is inserted, the network connector presses down on the drive unit, causing the pivot to rotate in the mounting slot. The mounting unit uses the pivot as a fulcrum to perform a lever motion, lifting the front end of the mounting unit and moving it towards the mounting bracket. At the same time, the mounting unit presses against the elastic element. When the network connector is pulled out, the drive unit is no longer pressed down, and the elastic element pushes the front end of the mounting unit away from the mounting bracket, causing the pivot to rotate in the mounting slot. The mounting unit uses the pivot as a fulcrum to perform a lever motion, lifting the drive unit and resetting it. When the connection stability of the connector is insufficient or parts need to be replaced, the mounting bracket can be disassembled for adjustment, repair, or replacement of parts, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the network interface structure and reducing maintenance costs.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 6This application provides an exemplary network interface structure, including:

[0041] At least two mounting bases 7 are disposed opposite to each other on the casing 1 of the laptop computer, and each mounting base 7 has a mounting slot 15.

[0042] The flip cover 2 has a mounting part 8 and a driving part 9 connected to each other. The mounting part 8 of the flip cover 2 is located between two mounting seats 7. The two sides of the mounting part 8 extend toward the mounting groove 15 with rotating shafts 10, which are rotatably locked in the mounting groove 15.

[0043] Mounting bracket 3 is detachably mounted on mounting base 7, and mounting bracket 3 covers mounting groove 15 and mounting part 8;

[0044] The elastic element has two ends that abut against the mounting bracket 3 and the mounting part 8, respectively.

[0045] When the network connector is inserted, the network connector presses down on the drive unit 9 and drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate in the first direction, causing the front end of the mounting part 8 to lift up and move towards the mounting bracket 3, and pressing the elastic element.

[0046] When the network connector is pulled out, the elastic element pushes the front end of the mounting part 8 to move away from the mounting bracket 3, and drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate in a second direction relative to the first direction, causing the drive part 9 to tilt up and reset.

[0047] In the network interface structure provided in this application, the flip cover 2 is disposed between two mounting bases 7 and is rotatably secured in the mounting groove 15 via a pivot 10. When the network connector is inserted, the network connector presses down on the drive unit 9, causing the pivot 10 to rotate in the mounting groove 15. The mounting unit 8 uses the pivot 10 as a fulcrum to perform a lever motion, lifting the front end of the mounting unit 8 and moving it towards the mounting bracket 3. At the same time, the mounting unit 8 presses against the elastic element. When the network connector is pulled out, the drive unit 9 is no longer pressed down, and the elastic element pushes the front end of the mounting unit 8 away from the mounting bracket 3, causing the pivot 10 to rotate in the mounting groove 15. The mounting unit 8 uses the pivot 10 as a fulcrum to perform a lever motion, lifting the drive unit 9 and resetting it. When the connection stability of the connector is insufficient or parts need to be replaced, the mounting bracket 3 can be disassembled for adjustment, repair, or replacement of parts, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the network interface structure and reducing maintenance costs.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mounting part 8 is provided with a positioning post 12 for positioning the elastic element. The elastic element is movably sleeved on the positioning post 12. The positioning post 12 positions the elastic element on the mounting part 8, which facilitates the installation and replacement of the elastic element.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the elastic element is a conical spring 11. The small-diameter end of the conical spring 11 is sleeved on the positioning post 12 and abuts against the mounting part 8. The large-diameter end of the conical spring 11 abuts against the mounting bracket 3. Specifically, the large-diameter end of the conical spring 11 has high elasticity and the small-diameter end has low elasticity, which can quickly rebound when the network crystal head is pulled out. At the same time, since the mounting bracket 3 limits the height of the front end of the mounting part 8, the change in the coil diameter of the conical spring 11 can achieve a gradual or decreasing elasticity curve when compressed, and can reduce the risk of resonance, ensuring that it can be safely flattened under the condition of structural height limitation.

[0050] In detail, when the conical spring 11 is sleeved on the positioning post 12, there is a gap between the small diameter end of the conical spring 11 and the positioning post 12. Specifically, the gap can be set to 0.1mm. By setting the gap, it can be ensured that the small diameter end of the conical spring 11 maintains an appropriate tightness after being sleeved on the positioning post 12. This avoids the conical spring 11 from being too loose and easily tilting during installation, and also avoids the conical spring 11 from being too tight and inconvenient to disassemble and replace.

[0051] In some embodiments, limiting blocks 16 extend from both sides of the mounting part 8 toward the mounting base 7. The limiting blocks 16 are disposed near the rotating shaft 10 and are used to limit the mounting part 8 when the flip cover 2 is installed. Specifically, the limiting blocks 16 limit the flip cover 2 to the left and right, limiting the gap between the mounting part 8 and the mounting base 7, so that the mounting part 8 can remain centered when installed between the mounting bases 7, thereby improving the stability and firmness of the overall structure.

[0052] In this embodiment, each mounting base 7 has a first mounting hole 13, and the mounting bracket 3 has at least two second mounting holes 18. When the mounting bracket 3 is installed on the mounting base 7, the second mounting holes 18 correspond to the two first mounting holes 13 respectively. The mounting bracket 3 is fixed to the mounting base 7 by fasteners 5 passing through the second mounting holes 18 and the first mounting holes 13 in sequence. Specifically, the fasteners 5 can be bolts, screws, etc., which are not limited here. By fasteners 5 passing through the first mounting holes 13 and the second mounting holes 18, a detachable connection between the mounting bracket 3 and the mounting base 7 is achieved, which facilitates the maintenance and disassembly of the overall structure.

[0053] In some embodiments, each mounting base 7 is provided with a positioning protrusion 4, and the mounting bracket 3 is provided with at least two positioning holes 19. The positioning holes 19 cooperate with the positioning protrusion 4 to position the mounting bracket 3 on the mounting base 7. Specifically, the positioning of the mounting bracket 3 on the mounting base 7 is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 4 and the positioning holes 19, which facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0054] In detail, the mounting bracket 3 is also provided with an inspection hole 6, which corresponds to the positioning post 12. The diameter of the inspection hole 6 is smaller than the diameter of the conical spring 11. The force of the conical spring 11 can be observed through the inspection hole 6, which is convenient for maintenance and inspection.

[0055] In this embodiment, limiting bosses 14 are provided on both sides of the driving part 9 to limit the driving part 9 during the movement of the flip cover 2. Specifically, when the network connector is not inserted, the initial position of the driving part 9 is always raised. At this time, the bottom of the driving part 9 is flush with the edge of the housing 1. Since the housing 1 has a notch 20 for inserting the network connector, the driving part 9 is located in the lower half of the notch 20 in the initial position. When the network connector is inserted, the network connector squeezes the driving part 9 and presses the driving part 9 down, so that the driving part 9 makes room for the network connector to be inserted smoothly. During the movement of the driving part 9, the limiting bosses 14 on both sides of the driving part 9 can reduce the gap between the two sides of the driving part 9 and the housing 1, and prevent the driving part 9 from shifting left and right during the movement. At the same time, when the flip cover 2 needs to be replaced, the limiting bosses 14 of the driving part 9 cooperate with the limiting block 16 of the mounting part 8 to limit the flip cover 2 left and right, ensuring that the flip cover 2 can be centered after installation.

[0056] In some embodiments, a clearance structure 17 is provided at the bottom rear end of the mounting part 8. The clearance structure 17 is spaced from the casing 1 of the laptop to provide space for the movement of the flip cover 2. Specifically, when the network connector is not inserted, the initial position of the drive part 9 is always raised. At this time, there is a certain gap between the clearance structure 17 and the casing 1 of the laptop. When the network connector is inserted, the network connector presses down on the drive part 9, and the rear end of the mounting part 8 moves accordingly. The gap provides space for the movement of the rear end of the mounting part 8 until the clearance structure 17 contacts the casing 1 of the laptop. At this time, the front end of the mounting part 8 is raised and contacts the mounting bracket 3, so that the network connector can be successfully inserted.

[0057] In another embodiment, this application also provides a laptop computer including the network interface structure described above.

[0058] In summary, in the network interface structure and laptop provided in this application, the flip cover 2 is disposed between two mounting bases 7 and is rotatably secured in the mounting slot 15 via a pivot 10. When the network connector is inserted, the network connector presses down on the drive unit 9, causing the pivot 10 to rotate in the mounting slot 15. The mounting unit 8 uses the pivot 10 as a fulcrum to perform a lever motion, lifting the front end of the mounting unit 8 and moving it towards the mounting bracket 3. At the same time, the mounting unit 8 presses against the elastic element. When the network connector is pulled out, the drive unit 9 is no longer pressed down, and the elastic element pushes the front end of the mounting unit 8 away from the mounting bracket 3, causing the pivot 10 to rotate in the mounting slot 15. The mounting unit 8 uses the pivot 10 as a fulcrum to perform a lever motion, lifting the drive unit 9 and resetting it. When the connection stability of the connector is insufficient or parts need to be replaced, the mounting bracket 3 can be disassembled for adjustment, repair, or replacement of parts, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the network interface structure and reducing maintenance costs.

[0059] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this application should still be covered by the claims of this application.
