[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a signal adapter socket to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0016] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 A signal adapter socket, the core structure of which revolves around the socket core 4, and the components are precisely installed, positioned and connected to achieve efficient signal transmission and excellent protection performance. A first mounting groove is formed on one end face of the socket core 4, providing a basic space for the installation of subsequent components. Simultaneously, a second mounting groove, perpendicular to the first mounting groove, is formed inside the first mounting groove. This second mounting groove extends beyond the first mounting groove into the main body structure of the socket core 4, forming a cross-regional installation channel. The first mounting groove is specifically used to install a baffle 7, which is stabilized within the groove by a specific positioning and fixing structure. The second mounting groove is used to embed and install the network port PCB 8, which, after embedding, forms a tight connection with the baffle 7 in the first mounting groove. On the network port PCB8, gold fingers 5 are electrically connected. As a key contact component for signal transmission, the installation position of the gold fingers 5 is adapted to another structure of the socket core 4—a plug-in slot is provided at the end of the socket core 4 furthest from the first mounting slot. The gold fingers 5 extend from the network port PCB8 and directly into this plug-in slot. When an external device plug is inserted into the plug-in slot, it can quickly make contact with the gold fingers 5, achieving signal connection. Furthermore, to reduce interference during signal transmission, two grounding metal springs 6 are symmetrically installed on the baffle 7. The ends of these two grounding metal springs 6 also extend into the plug-in slot, simultaneously achieving grounding when the plug is inserted, effectively shielding external interference and ensuring signal transmission quality. It is worth noting that a network interface 9 is also electrically connected to the network port PCB8. By installing the network interface 9 in conjunction with the vertically placed network port PCB8, the limitation of the traditional network port installation angle is broken, and a 180-degree signal conversion effect is finally achieved, which greatly improves the adaptability of the socket in different installation scenarios. To further optimize the structural stability and protective performance of the socket, the socket core 4 is also designed with several auxiliary structures. At one end of the socket core 4 where the first mounting groove is located, an integrally formed annular protective part provides physical protection for the components at the end of the socket, preventing damage to the internal structure from external impacts. On the other end of the socket core 4, a threaded section is machined, and a round-tailed rope 2 is fixed to the threaded section by a nut 1. The end of the round-tailed rope 2 is connected to the dust cover 11 by a first screw 12. The dust cover 11 has internal threads on its inner side, which can engage tightly with the threaded section on the socket core 4. The round-tailed rope 2 is made of a soft material for easy hanging and removal of the dust cover 11, while the dust cover 11 is made of a rigid material to ensure it is not easily deformed during use, thus reliably achieving waterproof and dustproof functions and protecting components such as the gold fingers 5 inside the socket groove from external moisture and dust. To enhance the sealing and protective effect of the dust cover 11, a circular gasket 10 is installed inside the dust cover 11. When the dust cover 11 is engaged and tightened with the threaded part of the socket core 4, the circular gasket 10 forms a tight compression fit with the end of the socket core 4, further improving the waterproof and dustproof performance. At the same time, on the outside of the threaded part of the socket core 4, between the round tail rope 2 and the annular protective part, an annular gasket 3 is also fitted. This annular gasket 3 mainly serves to resist wear, reduce frictional wear between the round tail rope 2 and the socket core 4, and extend the service life of the components. Regarding the installation and positioning of the baffle 7, the socket core 4 is specially equipped with positioning posts. Correspondingly, the baffle 7 has positioning holes that match the size of the positioning posts. When installing the baffle 7, the precise matching between the positioning holes and the positioning posts allows for quick determination of the installation position of the baffle 7, ensuring installation accuracy. Simultaneously, the baffle 7 and the socket core 4 are fixedly connected by the second screw 13. During the tightening of the second screw 13, the baffle 7 applies a certain pressure to the gold fingers 5 below, making the position of the gold fingers 5 more stable and preventing loosening of the gold fingers 5 due to vibration or other factors, thus affecting the stability of signal transmission.
