Description

Technical FieldThe invention relates to the technical field of network communication equipment, in particular to a multidirectional network box comprising first and second rotating covers which can be opened and closed and the manner of connection of which enables opening without the use of special tools and prevents accidental opening, and a flip cover movably disposed on the first rotating cover, offers the field worker more flexible adjustment space and provides better dust and water resistance.Prior ArtAfter installation of the Keystone Jack's load cell, the rear cable outlet is usually in a fixed direction and the cable usually extends horizontally rearward. In practice, however, the horizontal rearward extension of the cable is often limited by space. When installed on the wall panel and in the junction box, the length of the network box is almost equal to the length from the wall panel to the bottom of the box. The worker can only insert the network cable for connection from the left and right sides of the box. The network cable must be bent 90 degrees prior to connection to the network box. The 90 degree bend has no radius of curvature. In the transmission of the network signal, the influence on the signal transmission rate is larger, and signal scattering occurs as the radius of curvature of the network cable is smaller. The current network cable has eight transmission cores. When bent, each transmission wire scatters the signal, thereby crossing the signals and decreasing the network transmission rate.In order to avoid the problem of cable bending, therefore, many network boxes with lateral cable outlets have come on the market. However, various problems have occurred, for example: when two network boxes are arranged in series, interference is generated with the same output direction. When two load cells are arranged in parallel and the jacks of the two load cells face two different directions, since the load cables enter the box from the same side and exit from the same side, the load cable of the load cell must be bent 180 degrees with the other direction in order for the load cables to enter the junction box from the same side. The dispersion of electromagnetic waves caused thereby more easily reduces the network transmission rate. This type of network box is normally installed in two ways, namely on the wall panel and in the junction box. When used in a general computer room, lateral cable exit is not required. Moreover, the network cable must first be passed through the wiring cover when installed on site. However, due to the pulling force, it may drop and must be repositioned prior to installation. Such repeated adjustments result in low installation efficiency and thus need to be improved.For this reason, the inventor of the present invention proposes a multi-directional network box based on his many years of experience in related industries. In addition to the front shell, the rear shell, the circuit board module, the first rotation cover, the second rotation cover, and the wiring cover, a flip cover is also added. The wiring cover is provided with two partition plates and two distribution plates corresponding to the plurality of piercing terminals of the circuit board module. Between the separator plates a reinforcing sheet bridge is provided. This construction serves for temporarily fixing the network cable for later assembly processes. This eliminates the shortcomings of the prior installation and increases installation efficiency.Object of the InventionThis object is achieved by the multidirectional network box of the invention comprising a front shell, a rear shell, a first rotating cover, a flip cover and a second rotating cover, wherein the manner of connecting the first and second rotating covers allows opening without using special tools and prevents accidental opening, and wherein the flip cover provides the work personnel with more flexible adjustment space on site and provides better dust and water resistance. A printed circuit board module is arranged in the receiving space and has a plurality of piercing terminals corresponding to the network cable. The wiring cover is provided with two partition plates and two distribution plates corresponding to the piercing terminals to temporarily fix the network cable, so that the in-situ assembly convenience is improved.This object is achieved by the multidirectional load cell of the invention used in the load cell system and installed on a wall panel or a junction box, comprising: a front shell having a rectangular shape and forming a socket at one end, a first hinge portion and a second hinge portion being provided at the rear end of the front shell, the first hinge portion and the second hinge portion being opposed to each other; a rear shell disposed at the other end of the front shell to form a receiving space, the socket communicating with the receiving space; a first rotating cover disposed on the first hinge portion and forming a cover portion at both sides, respectively, a threading hole being provided at the rear end of the first rotating cover close to the upper side; a flip cover hinged to one side of the threading hole so that the flip cover can be closed and opened relative to the threading hole; and a second rotating cover disposed on the second hinged portion and provided with a recess on both sides corresponding to each cover portion so that when the first rotating cover and the second rotating cover are closed relative to the front shell, each cover portion is just received in a recess to achieve shielding.Brief Description of the DrawingsFIG. 1 is an exploded view of the preferred embodiment of the invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view after assembly of the preferred embodiment of the invention, FIG. 3 is a sectional view in the closed state of the preferred embodiment of the invention, FIG. 4 is an assembly diagram of the preferred embodiment of the invention (1), FIG. 5 is an assembly diagram of the preferred embodiment of the invention (2), FIG. 6 is an exploded view of another preferred embodiment of the invention, FIG. 7 is a sectional view in the closed state of the further preferred embodiment of the invention, FIG. 8 is an illustration of the wiring cover of the preferred embodiment of the invention (1), FIG. 9 is an illustration of the wiring cover of the preferred embodiment of the invention (2).WAYS OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTIONIn order to clarify the content of the invention, the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.FIGS. 1 to 3 and 4 to 5 are an exploded view, a perspective view after assembly, a sectional view in a closed state, and views of assembly of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
