Examples

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of the dust-proof panel 100 before being fitted into the slot 210 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a dust-proof panel 100 for covering a slot 210 of an electronic device 200 having a connector 220. The dust-proof panel 100 includes a panel 110, a connecting member 120 and a dust cover 130, wherein the connecting member 120 is disposed on the panel 110, and the dust cover 130 is connected to the connecting member 120. When the dust panel 100 is close to the connector 220 along the direction a, the connector 220 and the dust cover 130 extend into the slot 210, and the dust cover 130 covers the connector 220 when the panel 110 covers the notch 212. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the completion of the cooperation of the dust-proof panel 100 and the slot 210 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, when the panel 110 abuts against and closes the slot 212 of the slot 210, the dust cover 130 covers one end of the connector 220, so that dust cannot easily enter the position where the connector 220 is covered even if the dust enters the slot 210. Since it is the interface dust that is most to be avoided by the connector 220, typically the end of the connector 220 that is shielded is the interface end of the connector 220. The dust-proof panel 100 provided by this embodiment not only covers the slot 212 of the slot 210, but also covers the interface end of the connector 220 with the dust-proof cover 130, so that it has a better dust-proof effect and can better prevent the connector 220 from being polluted by dust.

In addition, the dust cover 130 according to the embodiment of the present invention is detachably engaged with the connector 120, and the dust cover 130 can be separated from the connector 120 after the dust cover 130 is covered on the connector 220. Therefore, after the dust-proof panel 100 covers the slot 210, even if the panel 110 is disturbed by external disturbance to drive the connecting member 120 to vibrate, the vibration will not be transmitted to the dust-proof cover 130, so as to protect the connector 220 from being influenced by the vibration. This may better protect the connector 220 from the dust panel 100 affecting its performance or life.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a dust cover 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3 in combination with the above-mentioned drawings, the dust cover 130 includes a shielding portion 131 and at least two second elastic portions 136 disposed on the shielding portion 131. The shielding portion 131 is a cylindrical structure having a second opening 1311 at one end, so that when the connector 220 is covered, the interface end of the connector 220 can extend into the cavity of the shielding portion 131 from the second opening 1311, and the dust-proof effect is better. At least two second elastic parts 136 are spaced apart from each other at an end of the shielding part 131 having the second opening 1311, and the at least two second elastic parts 136 are used to commonly clamp the connector 220. In the present embodiment, the shielding portion 131 has a rectangular cylindrical shape. Of course, the specific shape of the connecting member 120 for dust prevention is different according to the requirement, and in other embodiments, the shielding portion 131 may be provided in other shapes, such as a cylinder with an opening at one end. In the embodiment of fig. 3, the dust cover 130 includes four second elastic portions 136 disposed around the second opening 1311 of the shielding portion 131, and the free ends of the second elastic portions 136 can be radially close to or far from the central axis of the shielding portion 131 under elastic deformation, so that the second elastic portions 136 can provide pre-tightening force to the connector 220 from four directions to firmly clamp the connector 220 when the shielding portion 131 covers the interface end of the connector 220, so that the shielding portion 131 can more stably maintain the state of covering the connector 220. It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the second elastic portions 136 can be selected according to actual requirements, for example, two second elastic portions 136 are disposed at intervals on two opposite sides of the second opening 1311 of the shielding portion 131, and the function of the clamping connector 220 can also be achieved.

In the present embodiment, in order to enable the dust cover 130 to be more easily covered on the connector 220 and to clamp the connector 220 by the second elastic portions 136, a portion of each second elastic portion 136 away from the shielding portion 131 has an inward first protrusion 138, and a side of the first protrusion 138 away from the shielding portion 131 is provided with a second guide surface 137. In the present embodiment, the second elastic portion 136 is in a sheet shape, and the first protrusion 138 of the second elastic portion 136 is formed by bending the second elastic portion 136, so that the second elastic portion 136 has a thinner thickness even at the first protrusion 138, thereby reducing the overall weight of the dust cover 130 to reduce the adverse effect of the overweight of the dust cover 130 on the connector 220. The second guide surface 137 extends in the axial direction away from the shielding portion 131, and as shown in fig. 3, the second guide surface 137 of each second elastic portion 136 extends outward to form an open shape. When the dust cover 130 approaches the connector 220, the second guide surface 137 first abuts the connector 220. As the dust cap 130 is moved further toward the connector 220, the free end of the second resilient portion 136 is forced to expand radially outwardly, thereby causing the first protrusion 138 to ride over the interface end surface of the connector 220, in which the second guide surface 137 guides. Then, the interface end of the connector 220 is covered by the shielding portion 131, and the second elastic portions 136 commonly clamp the connector 220, so that the connector 220 is in a dust-proof state after being covered, as shown in fig. 2.

Specifically, the second elastic part 136 may be a plastic sheet having elasticity. But also can be a metal sheet with elasticity, such as a steel sheet, a copper sheet and the like.

In this embodiment, a convex first abutting portion 132 is disposed on the outer periphery of the shielding portion 131, the first abutting portion 132 is used for abutting against the connecting member 120, and under the pushing of the connecting member 120, the entire dust cover 130 can be driven to approach the connector 220, and finally the second opening 1311 of the shielding portion 131 is covered on the interface end of the connector 220. Both sides of the first abutting portion 132 in the ab direction are inclined surfaces, wherein one inclined surface close to the b direction is used for abutting against the connecting member 120.

Further, the shielding portion 131 is provided with a second contact portion 133 so that the connector 120 can pull the dust cover 130 off the connector 220. The second abutting portion 133 is used for abutting against the connector 120, and can be pulled by the connector 120 when the connector 120 is away from the connector 220 along the direction b, so as to pull the whole dust cover 130 off the connector 220. The second abutting portion 133 is provided protruding from the surface of the shielding portion 131 and extends in the circumferential direction of the shielding portion 131. The second abutting portion 133 is provided with an inclined abutting surface 134, and the abutting surface 134 faces both the insertion direction (i.e., the direction a in the drawing) and the radial outward direction of the dust cover 130. The abutment between the abutment surface 134 and the connector 120 is achieved by surface contact.

In the present embodiment, the second abutting portion 133 and the first abutting portion 132 are provided at an interval in the ab direction, and are respectively located at positions close to both ends of the shielding portion 131 in the ab direction. The first abutting portion 132 is close to an end of the shielding portion 131 where the second opening 1311 is located, and the second abutting portion 133 is located at an end of the shielding portion 131 away from the second opening 1311.

In the present embodiment, the shielding portion 131 is provided with the escape groove 135, and the escape groove 135 is located between the first abutting portion 132 and the second abutting portion 133 and is provided around the shielding portion 131 in the circumferential direction. The escape groove 135 escapes from the stopper 125 (see fig. 4) inside the connector 120 so that the connector 120 does not interfere with the dust cover 130.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the connecting member 120 is disposed on the outer circumference of the dust cover 130 and detachably engaged with the dust cover 130. The connector 120 drives the dust cover 130 to approach or separate from the connector 220 along the ab direction when the panel 110 is subjected to an external force, and separates from the dust cover 130 after the dust cover 130 covers the connector 220.

Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a connector 120 and a panel 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 5 is a schematic view of the connecting member 120 and the panel 110 at a viewing angle b according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in the present embodiment, the connecting element 120 has a cavity and a first opening 121, and the connecting element 120 is sleeved outside the blocking portion 131 of the dust cover 130. As shown in FIG. 5, the hollow cavity of the connector 120 is a rectangular cavity, which is adapted to the shape of the shielding portion 131 of the dust cover 130. The opening of the connecting member 120 is provided with four first elastic portions 122 respectively located on four sides of the first opening 121. In this embodiment, the four first elastic portions 122 all extend along the direction a, a second protrusion 123 is disposed inside the first elastic portion 122, the second protrusion 123 is used for abutting against the first abutting portion 132 on the shielding portion 131 to drive the dust cover 130 to approach the connector 220, and after the dust cover 130 is covered on the connector 220, the second protrusion crosses over the first abutting portion 132 to separate the connecting member 120 from the dust cover 130.

In the present embodiment, the second protrusion 123 is located inside the first elastic part 122 and near the free end of the first elastic part 122. The side of the second protrusion 123 remote from the first opening 121 has an inclined first guide surface 124. Similar to the second guiding surface 137 of the second elastic portion 136, when the connecting member 120 moves in the a direction relative to the dust cover 130 under the action of an external force, the first elastic portion 122 is forced to elastically deform radially outward under the guidance of the first guiding surface 124. While the first guide surface 124 slips relative to the first abutment 132, eventually the second projection 123 can be caused to pass the first abutment 132.

Therefore, it can be understood that, by using the first elastic portion 122 and the first guide surface 124 on the second protrusion 123 of the connector 120, after the dust cover 130 is covered on the connector 220 and stops moving, the connector 120 continues to approach the connector 220, and the first guide surface 124 slides relative to the first abutting portion 132 to pass over the first abutting portion 132, so that the connector 220 and the dust cover 130 are separated.

It should be understood that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the first elastic parts 122 may be two, and two first elastic parts 122 are disposed at intervals on two opposite sides of the opening of the connecting member 120. In some embodiments where the shielding portion 131 is cylindrical, the cavity of the connecting member 120 may also be a cylindrical cavity to fit the shielding portion 131; in this case, at least two first elastic portions 122 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the opening, and the number thereof can be increased or decreased as needed.

Further, in order to enable the connector 120 to pull the dust cover 130 off the connector 220, a position-limiting portion 125 is disposed inside the connector 120, and the position-limiting portion 125 is used for abutting against the second abutting portion 133 to drive the dust cover 130 to be away from the connector 220. In the present embodiment, the stopper portion 125 is provided around the inner circumferential side of the connector 120. Of course, in another embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the second abutting portion 133 and the limiting portion 125 may be a plurality of protrusions arranged at intervals, and the connecting member 120 may be configured to pull the dust cover 130 from the connector 220 by making the second abutting portion 133 abut against the limiting portion 125.

Preferably, the stopper portion 125 is provided with an inclined stopper surface 126, and the stopper surface 126 is in surface contact with the abutment surface 134 of the second abutment portion 133 to realize abutment. Further, when the limiting surface 126 abuts against the abutting surface 134, the first guide surface 124 abuts against the first abutting portion 132. In this way, before the connecting member 120 is separated from the dust cover 130, the limiting surface 126 and the first guiding surface 124 jointly abut against the first abutting portion 132 and the second abutting portion 133 on the dust cover 130, so that the dust cover 130 does not shake in the ab direction relative to the connecting member 120. And the inclined position-limiting surface 126 has a positioning effect, when the position-limiting surface 126 abuts against the second abutting part 133, the central axes of the dust cover 130 and the connecting member 120 are collinear, so that an installer can better align the opening of the dust cover 130 with the interface end of the connector 220, and accurately cover the dust cover 130 on the connector 220 after the panel 110 covers the notch 212.

As shown, a transition table 112 is optionally disposed inside the panel 110 according to the depth of the slot 210, and the connecting member 120 is disposed on the transition table 112. The width of the transition table 112 is smaller than that of the slot 210, and when the panel 110 covers the slot 212, the transition table 112, the connecting member 120 and the dust cover 130 are inserted into the slot 210 together. When the transition table 112 is sized close to the slot 212, the transition table 112 can function as a positioning feature such that the dust cover 130 accurately corresponds to the position of the connector 220.

Optionally, the panel 110 is provided with a mounting hole 114 for fixing with a body of the electronic device 200 by a fastener such as a bolt after the dust-proof panel 100 is mounted in place. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the panel 110 may also be fixed to the body of the electronic device 200 through a structure such as a buckle or a hook-and-loop fastener.

The process of attaching and detaching the dust-proof panel 100 of the present embodiment is as follows:

when the dust panel 100 is mounted, the dust cover 130 and the connector 120 of the dust panel 100 are first inserted into the slot 212 of the slot 210, as shown in fig. 6. At this time, the dust cover 130 is not yet abutted to the connector 220, and the second elastic portion 136 thereof is not deformed; the first abutting portion 132 and the second abutting portion 133 are abutted by the second projection 123 and the stopper portion 125 of the connector 120, respectively, and the dust cover 130 is fixed to the connector 220 at this time. When the dust-proof panel 100 continues to be pushed in the direction a, the second guiding surface 137 of the second elastic portion 136 abuts against the interface end of the connector 220, as shown in fig. 7.

When the dust panel 100 is further pushed in the direction a, the first guide surface 124 on the first elastic portion 122 applies a force to the first abutting portion 132 of the dust cover 130, pushing the dust cover 130 to continue to move in the direction a relative to the connector 220, the second elastic portion 136 is forced to elastically deform outward under the guiding action of the second guide surface 137, and finally the first protrusion 138 goes over the end surface of the interface end of the connector 220, as shown in fig. 8. The force between the first elastic portion 122 and the first abutting portion 132 is not enough to make the second protrusion 123 of the first elastic portion 122 pass the first abutting portion 132 all the way from the first guiding surface 124 abutting the interface end of the connector 220 to the interface end of the connector 220, so that the dust cover 130 is still tightly connected with the connector 120.

When the dust-proof panel 100 continues to move in the direction a, the dust-proof cover 130 stops after moving to the target position and cannot move any further, and the second opening 1311 of the shielding portion 131 covers the interface end of the connector 220, so as to achieve the dust-proof effect. In this embodiment, abutting the free end of the second resilient portion 136 of the dust cover 130 to the mounting wall 230 of the connector means that the dust cover 130 is moved into position, as shown in fig. 9. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the conditions for installing the dust cover 130 in place may also be: the bottom of the cavity or other internal structure of the shroud 131 abuts the connector 220 such that the dust cap 130 is forced to stop moving further in direction a.

When the dust cover 130 cannot be further moved, the panel 110 does not cover the slot 212, and the connecting member 120 and the panel 110 further move in the direction a, the acting force between the second protrusion 123 and the first abutting portion 132 gradually increases, and the first elastic portion 122 is elastically deformed outwards. Finally, the second protrusion 123 passes the first abutting portion 132, the limiting portion 125 is separated from the second abutting portion 133 and enters the avoiding groove 135, the panel 110 abuts against the notch 212, and the connecting member 120 is completely separated from the dust cover 130, as shown in fig. 2. The panel 110 is then secured to the slot 212 using fasteners. At this time, the dust cover 130 is covered at the interface end of the connector 220, and the connector 220 is held by the second elastic portion 136 so that the dust cover 130 and the connector 220 maintain a relatively stable state. Since the dust cover 130 is completely separated from the connector 120, the vibration of the panel 110 and the connector 120 is not transmitted to the dust cover 130 and the connector 220, protecting the connector 220 from being damaged.

When the entire dust-proof panel 100 is pulled out, first, the connector 120 moves outward (i.e., in the b direction) with the panel 110, the dust-proof cover 130 remains stationary, and the second protrusion 123 abuts against the first abutting portion 132. As shown in the figure, the side of the second protrusion 123 close to the panel 110 also has an inclined surface, similar to the action principle of the first guiding surface 124, when the second protrusion 123 is far away from the connector 220, the inclined surface also makes the first elastic portion 122 deform outwards in a forced manner, so that the second protrusion 123 goes over the first abutting portion 132, and the state shown in fig. 9 is assumed. At this time, the first guide surface 124 abuts against the first abutting portion 132, the stopper surface 126 abuts against the second abutting portion 133, and the dust cover panel 100 is restored to the state where the connector 120 and the dust cover 130 are tightly connected. In this embodiment, the frictional force between the dust cap 130 and the connector 220 is sufficient to overcome the force of the second protrusion 123 against the first abutment 132, so that the dust cap 130 remains stationary with the connector 220 as the second protrusion 123 passes the first abutment 132 in the direction b.

When the panel 110 and the connecting member 120 are further pulled out, the position-limiting portion 125 will exert a force on the second abutting portion and bring the entire dust cover 130 to move in the direction b, and finally the dust cover 130 is pulled out from the connector 220. At this time, the operation of detaching the dust-proof panel 100 from the electronic apparatus 200 is completed. After the dust-proof panel 100 is removed, the first guide surface 124 abuts against the first abutting portion 132, the stopper surface 126 abuts against the second abutting portion 133, and the dust-proof panel 100 is restored to a state in which it can be directly used next time.

It is understood that in some other embodiments of the present invention, the rigidity of the first elastic portion 122 may be enhanced, or the surface shape of the second protrusion 123 may be changed, so that the dust cover 130 may be directly pulled off from the connector 220 after the second protrusion 123 moves in the direction b to abut against the first abutting portion 132.

As can be seen from fig. 2, when the dust panel 100 is assembled in place, the dust cover 130 is connected to the connector 220, and if the slot 210 is horizontally disposed, the weight of the dust cover 130 is borne by the connector 220. Thus, to ensure stability of the connector 220, the dust cap 130 may be made of a relatively lightweight material, such as plastic. In an alternative embodiment, the dust cover 130 may be integrally formed, such as by injection molding.

It should be noted that the manner of disengaging the dust cap 130 from the connector 120 is not limited to the manner described above. In other alternative embodiments of the present invention, the separation of the dust cover 130 from the connecting member 120 can also be achieved manually, for example, the dust cover 130 is connected with an operating rod, the operating rod passes through the panel 110 and extends out of the panel 110, and the operator can connect or separate the dust cover 130 from the connecting member 120 by pushing or pulling the operating rod. For another example, in some embodiments, the dust cap 130 can be configured to disengage from the connector 120 during removal from the panel 110, in which case the dust cap 130 can be removed by pushing the dust cap 130 forward through the panel 110 with a push rod.

In addition, the present invention further provides an electronic device 200 (only a part of which is shown in the figure), which includes a slot 210 provided with a connector 220 and the dust-proof panel 100, wherein the panel 110 is covered on the slot 210, and the dust-proof cover 130 is inserted into the slot 210 and covers the interface of the connector 220. The electronic device 200 may be a router, switch, etc.

To sum up, the embodiment of the utility model provides a dust faceplate, including the panel, connect in the connecting piece of panel and can remove ground and connecting piece complex dust cover. When the panel covers the slot, the dust cover extends into the slot and covers the connector, and is disengaged from the connecting piece. Since the dust cover can cover one end of the connector, dust, even if entering the slot, cannot easily enter the covered position of the connector, such as the interface end of the connector. After the dust cover is disengaged from the connecting piece, the disturbance of the outside to the panel can not be transmitted to the connector, so that the connector can not be interfered to influence the performance or the service life of the connector.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
