Description

  The present invention relates to a LAN connector structure, and in particular, an improved engagement structure allows the engagement structure to be easily and switchably attached to a connector body, and is applicable to various LC type connectors or RJ type connectors. Concerning joint structure.

  The configuration of the conventional LAN connector structure generally has a locking claw, and when the conventional LAN connector is inserted into the LAN port, the locking claw engages with a convex portion in the LAN port insertion port. When it is desired to disconnect the LAN connector from the LAN port, the LAN connector can be disconnected from the LAN port by pressing the locking claw downward to release the engagement between the locking claw and the convex portion.

  Please refer to FIG. The prior art LAN connector structure 40 is a single structure and is integrally formed. When the LAN connector structure 40 of the prior art is used, the anti-extraction part of the LAN connector structure 40 of the prior art is elastically fatigued by the insertion / extraction of the LAN connector over time, and the anti-extraction part The contact function with the convex part of the port will be lost, or after use for a long time, it will crack due to excessive use of the anti-extraction part, and similarly the contact function with the convex part of the LAN port will be lost. It will be. In addition, the LAN connector structure in which the elastic fatigue or the elastic arm is broken has to be switched to the new LAN connector structure as a whole, which is not only time consuming, but also expensive and results in unnecessary parts and wasted time.

Problems that the device tries to solve

  In view of the above, the present invention is provided with an engagement structure, and when the LAN connector is inserted into the LAN port, the removal preventing portion is hidden by the LAN port and is not a pressing portion that presses the elastic arm. The engagement between the pull-out preventing portion and the LAN port cannot be released, and the engagement structure is detachably assembled to the connector body, and can be removed and replaced when the elastic arm is broken, or the tool can be removed during elastic fatigue. The original already elastically fatigued elastic arm is cut off together with the pull-out prevention part, and the new LAN connector engagement structure of the present invention is switched to replace the entire LAN connector which wastes costs and eliminates unnecessary body replacement. An object is to provide a LAN connector structure which is not necessary.

Here, when the LAN connector structure is inserted into the LAN port, the pull-out prevention portion of the engagement mechanism is hidden by the LAN port, and the contact surface of the contact portion contacts the protrusion of the LAN port. Thus, the LAN connector structure cannot be removed from the LAN port.

  Here, the engagement structure further includes a flat plate member, the pull-out preventing portion is provided in the flat plate member, and the elastic arm is connected to the flat plate member and extends in a direction away from the LAN port. In the engagement structure of the LAN connector structure of the present invention, the pressing portion is provided at one end of the elastic arm in a direction away from the LAN port, and one end of the contact portion is elastically connected to the elastic arm, When the other end is connected to the lock portion and the LAN connector structure is inserted into the LAN port, a part of the elastic arm is exposed to the LAN port, and the LAN connector is pressed by pressing the pressing portion of the elastic arm. Pull the structure from the LAN port.

  The engagement structure further includes an opening corresponding to the pressing portion, and the opening is provided between the extraction preventing portion and the lock portion and is positioned below the pressing portion, and the pressing portion Can be received in the opening when moving down. The anti-extraction portion further includes a protrusion provided above the contact portion, and the LAN connector structure is inserted into the LAN port, and the elastic arm is pressed to remove the LAN connector structure from the LAN port. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the protrusion from coming into contact with the ceiling portion in the LAN port and the angle at which the extraction preventing portion is lifted from becoming too large, and the LAN connector structure can be extracted from the LAN port.

  In the LAN connector structure of the present invention, the locking portion of the engagement structure further includes two side plates, one horizontal plate, two L-shaped portions, and two stoppers, and the horizontal plate is the one of these side plates. Between the side plates and connected to the side plates, the horizontal plate and the side plates are formed in a gate shape as a whole, the horizontal plate is connected to the anti-extraction portion, and the L-shaped portions are these The L-shaped portion and the stoppers engage the engagement structure with the connector body, and the engagement structure is detachably fixed to the connector body.

  More specifically, the connector main body further includes a convex portion, a stopper portion, and a flange portion, the convex portion is provided at the tip of the connector main body, and the stopper portion and the flange portion are provided on the connector main body. Provided. When the engagement structure engages with the connector body, the stopper of the engagement structure abuts against the stopper portion of the connector body, and the L-shaped portion of the engagement structure is locked to the flange portion of the connector body. The engagement structure and the connector main body are fixed. In other words, the engagement structure is engaged with the connector body, the convex portion of the connector body abuts the contact portion of the engagement structure, and the stopper portion of the connector body receives the stopper of the engagement structure. Stop. In the present invention, the engagement structure and the connector main body can be easily attached and detached by improving the partial structure, and the position between the two can be securely fixed when assembled.

  In order to make the description of the present invention and other objects, features, and advantages easier to understand, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
