[0047] With the development of information technology, enterprises have increasingly diversified needs for information transmission, and the number of data and equipment terminals carried by the network is increasing. However, this has also brought about the problems of complex deployment and difficult maintenance of data equipment.
[0048] Currently, to address the complex deployment of multiple device terminals, rack-mounted switches and routers can be used together. However, this approach results in an excessively large overall chassis size, leading to an uncompacted device structure. Furthermore, since the device only has switching and routing functions, it cannot support multiple services, resulting in poor applicability.
[0049] In the transmission component proposed in this application embodiment, multiple line card interfaces on the connector are electrically connected to the switching matrix, allowing multiple line cards to be connected to the connector. Multiple power interfaces on the connector are also electrically connected to the switching matrix, enabling multiple external power supplies to be electrically connected to the switching matrix and supply power to the switching matrix and the line cards connected to the multiple line card interfaces. The multiple power interfaces include at least one low-voltage interface and at least one high-voltage interface, allowing both high-voltage and low-voltage power supplies to be connected to the connector, thus providing low-voltage and high-voltage power to the switching matrix and the multiple line cards. The multiple line card interfaces include at least one high-speed interface and at least one low-speed interface, allowing both low-speed and high-speed line cards to be electrically connected to the switching matrix through the connector. This allows the transmission component of this application to accommodate a greater number of external power supplies and line cards, and supports different types of power supplies and line cards with different functions. The connection of line cards with different functions to the connector enables the transmission component of this application to implement multiple service functions, resulting in better applicability and higher integration.
[0050] The transmission component provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0051] refer to Figure 1This application proposes a switch, including a transmission component, a power supply unit 600, a line card unit 700, a management card unit 800, and a fixed card unit 900. The power supply unit 600, line card unit 700, management card unit 800, and fixed card unit 900 are all electrically connected to the transmission component. The power supply unit 600 supplies power to the electrical components within the transmission component, and also supplies power to the line card unit 700, management card unit 800, and fixed card unit 900 through the transmission component. In current switches, the transmission component requires multiple parts that are electrically connected to the power supply unit 600, line card unit 700, management card unit 800, and fixed card unit 900, respectively, leading to a complex internal structure. Furthermore, a higher number of components in the switch results in lower reliability.
[0052] To solve the above problems, refer to Figures 1-4 This application also proposes a transmission component, including a housing 100, a switching matrix 200, and a connection 300, which can be applied to the switch of this application.
[0053] The housing 100 is the basic component of the transmission assembly of this application. The housing 100 provides a mounting base for at least some other components of the transmission assembly and also serves to protect those components. The housing can be made of metal or composite materials. A metal housing 100 has better structural strength, and the heat generated by the components inside the housing 100 is more easily dissipated through it. A composite material housing 100 makes the housing 100 relatively lightweight, thus making the overall weight of the transmission assembly and the switch using the transmission assembly of this application relatively light. In this embodiment, the specific material of the housing 100 is not limited.
[0054] The housing 100 has a cavity, and the switching matrix unit 200 is disposed in the cavity within the housing 100. The switching matrix unit 200 is the core component for data transmission switching of the transmission component of this application, and also the core component for data transmission switching of the switch of this application. Other components of the switch can be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 to realize data communication between them. The connection part 300 can also be disposed within the housing 100. The connection part 300 has multiple power interfaces 310 and multiple line card interfaces 320. All power interfaces 310 are electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200. Therefore, when the number of power supply units 600 in the switch of this application is set to multiple, the multiple power supply units 600 can be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 through the multiple power interfaces 310, thereby enabling the multiple power supply units 600 to supply power to the switching matrix unit 200. Multiple line card interfaces 320 on the connection unit 300 allow multiple line card units 700 to be plugged in. When the number of line card units 700 in the switch of this application is also multiple, the multiple line card units 700 can be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 through the multiple line card interfaces 320. This allows for a greater number of power supply units 600 and line card units 700 that can be installed in the transmission component of this application. Specifically, by plugging multiple line card units 700 that can perform different functions into the multiple line card interfaces 320 of the connection unit 300, the transmission component of this application can have a variety of different service functions to achieve multi-service carrying, thereby allowing for a greater number of devices to be deployed in the switch of this application and enriching the functions of the switch. The multiple line card units 700 can specifically include line card units 700 with data auditing, data monitoring, and data analysis functions, so that the transmission component of this application can have data auditing, data monitoring, and data analysis functions.
[0055] The housing 100 has a power supply slot 110 and a wire clip slot 120. When the power supply unit 600 and the wire clip unit 700 are connected to the connecting unit 300, the power supply unit 600 is located in the power supply slot 110 and the wire clip unit 700 is located in the wire clip slot 120.
[0056] The multiple power interfaces 310 include at least one high-voltage interface and at least one low-voltage interface. The high-voltage interface is compatible with the high-voltage power supply unit 600, allowing the high-voltage power supply unit 600 to be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 via the high-voltage interface. Specifically, after the high-voltage power supply unit 600 is electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 via the high-voltage interface, it can input high-voltage electricity into the switching matrix unit 200. This high-voltage electricity can also be input through the switching matrix unit 200 to other devices requiring high-voltage power, such as devices that require external power. After the low-voltage power supply unit 600 is electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 via the low-voltage interface, it inputs low-voltage electricity into the switching matrix unit 200. This low-voltage electricity can also be input through the switching matrix unit 200 to other devices requiring low-voltage power, such as devices that require direct power without external power supply. This allows the transmission component of this application and the switch using this transmission component to install components with different voltage requirements, thereby improving the applicability of the transmission component of this application.
[0057] The multiple line card interfaces 320 include at least one high-speed interface and at least one low-speed interface. The high-speed interface is compatible with the high-speed line card unit 700, allowing the high-speed line card unit 700 to be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 via the high-speed interface. The low-speed line card unit 700, after being electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 via the low-speed interface, can also be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 via the low-speed interface. This allows the transmission component of this application and the switch using this transmission component to install components with different transmission speed requirements, thereby improving the applicability of the transmission component of this application.
[0058] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 To enable the power interface 310 and line card interface 320 of the connection part 300 of this application to be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200, a connection terminal 230 is provided on the connection part 300. The connection terminal 230 of the connection part 300 is electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200, thereby allowing the power interface 310 and line card interface 320 to be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 through the connection terminal 230. It should be understood that the switching matrix unit 200 generates heat during power-on operation. In addition, the power supply unit 600 also generates heat when connected to the power interface 310 to supply power to the switching matrix unit 200 and the line card unit 700, and the line card unit 700 also generates heat during power-on operation.
[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 1To prevent heat concentration in the transmission components and the switches using these components during operation, the power interface 310 and line card interface 320 of the connection section 300 are located on the same side, while the connection end 230 is located opposite to both the power interface 310 and the line card interface 320. Correspondingly, the switching matrix section 200 can also be located near the connection end 230, so that the switching matrix section 200 is also located opposite to the power interface 310 and the line card interface 320 on opposite sides of the connection section 300. In this way, the heat generated by the switching matrix section 200 can be relatively concentrated on one side of the connection section 300, and the heat generated by the power supply section 600 and the line card section 700 can be relatively concentrated on the other side of the connection section 300, thereby dispersing the heat within the transmission components and preventing localized overheating of the transmission components. The main heat of the line card unit 700 is generated by the line card processing unit during operation. Therefore, the line card processing unit and the switching matrix unit 200 can be distributed on opposite sides of the connection unit 300. Correspondingly, the line card processing unit, the power interface 310 and the line card interface 320 are arranged on the same side. In this way, the heat generated by the line card processing unit and the switching matrix unit 200 can be distributed in different areas within the housing 100. At the same time, the line card processing unit can also be arranged near the line card interface 320 to make the signal transmission between the line card processing unit and the line card interface 320 more stable.
[0060] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The switching matrix unit 200 of this application can be equipped with a management interface 210 and a fixed interface 220. The management interface 210 can be connected to a management card unit 800, allowing the management card unit 800 to be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200. A chip can be installed in the management card unit 800, enabling it to perform functions such as routing protocol processing and security auditing. The fixed interface 220 can be connected to a fixed card unit 900, which is fixedly connected to the housing 100. The fixed card unit 900 can be used to implement fixed service functions. Specifically, it can realize functions such as host control of transmission components, communication with external devices, and data import and export to internal storage devices.
[0061] By directly connecting the management card unit 800 to the switching matrix unit 200 via the management interface 210, and by directly connecting the fixed card unit 900 to the switching matrix unit 200 via the fixed interface 220, the switching matrix unit 200 can directly transmit signals to the management interface 210 and the fixed interface 220, thereby reducing signal transmission attenuation. The housing 100 also includes a management card slot 130 and a fixed card slot 140. When the management card unit 800 and the fixed card unit 900 are connected to the switching matrix unit 200, the management card unit 800 is located in the management card slot 130, and the fixed card unit 900 is located in the fixed card slot 140.
[0062] Specifically, the number of management interfaces 210 can be set to multiple, and correspondingly, the number of management card units 800 can also be set to multiple, with each management card unit 800 being plugged into a different management interface 210. The multiple management card units 800 can adopt different models and forms, enabling them to perform different functions. The fixed card unit 900, which connects to the fixed port of the switching matrix unit 200, can be equipped with a device management port, such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface or a console interface. This allows for device login, configuration management, and device software system updates via the interfaces on the fixed card unit 900.
[0063] The management interface 210, line card interface 320, and power interface 310 are located on the same side of the switching matrix unit 200, while the fixed interface 220 and management interface 210 are located on different sides of the switching matrix unit 200. This allows the multiple interfaces on the switching matrix unit 200 to be relatively distributed.
[0064] In some implementations, reference Figures 4-6 In order to efficiently dissipate internal heat during operation of the transmission component of this application and prevent the temperature inside the housing 100 from becoming too high, the transmission component of this application may also include a fan 400, and an air inlet 150 and an air outlet 160 may be provided on the housing 100. The air inlet 150 and air outlet 160 of the housing 100 are formed on the surface of the housing 100, and the air inlet 150 and air outlet 160 are connected to the cavity inside the housing 100 for accommodating the exchange matrix 200, the connection part 300, the power supply part 600, the line card part 700, the management card part 800 and the fixing card part 900. The fan 400 can be installed at the air inlet 150 or the air outlet 160 of the housing 100. The fan 400 can draw in cold air from outside the housing 100, so that the cold air can come into contact with the hot air and the heat-generating components inside the housing 100 for heat exchange. Then the fan 400 discharges the heat-exchanged air through the air outlet 160 of the housing 100, so that the heat inside the housing 100 can be efficiently dissipated to the outside of the housing 100.
[0065] The connecting portion 300 of this application can be a sheet structure. The connecting portion 300 can be erected inside the housing 100. Specifically, one end of the connecting portion 300 is connected to the bottom wall inside the housing 100, and the other side of the connecting portion 300 has a gap with the top wall inside the housing 100. The gap between the connecting portion 300 and the top wall of the housing 100 allows air to pass through. The air inlet 150 and the air outlet 160 of the housing 100 can be provided on both sides of the housing 100, and the air inlet 150 and the air outlet 160 are located on opposite sides of the connecting portion 300. In this way, the air entering the housing 100 through the air inlet 150 can pass through the gap between the top of the connecting portion 300 and the top inner wall of the housing 100, and be discharged from the air outlet 160 of the housing 100. It should be understood that hot air is less dense than cold air. Therefore, the air heated by the exchange matrix section 200, line card section 700, power supply section 600, management card section 800 and fixing card section 900 inside the housing 100 will spontaneously concentrate in the upper area inside the housing 100. In this way, after the fan 400 is started, the hot air can pass directly through the gap between the connecting part 300 and the inner wall of the top side of the housing 100, so that the hot air passes through the housing 100 more efficiently and is discharged from the air outlet 160 of the housing 100.
[0066] In some implementations, reference Figure 6 At least a portion of the air inlet 150 and at least a portion of the air outlet 160 of this application can be configured to face the gap between the connecting portion 300 and the top inner wall of the housing 100, thereby forming a convection channel between the air inlet 150, the air outlet 160, and the gap between the connecting portion 300 and the top inner wall of the housing 100. This allows heat inside the housing 100 to pass through the housing 100 more efficiently. Furthermore, a portion of the air inlet 150 can also be configured to face the line card portion 700, the power supply portion 600, the fixing card portion 900, and the management card portion 800. This allows the cold air entering the housing 100 through the air inlet 150 to fully contact and exchange heat with the line card portion 700, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the line card portion 700.
[0067] In some embodiments, in the transmission component of this application, reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 100 may have an interface 170. When the power supply unit 600, line card unit 700, management card unit 800 and fixed card unit 900 are installed inside the housing 100 and connected to the connection unit 300 and the switching matrix unit 200 respectively, the interfaces of the power supply unit 600, line card unit 700, management card unit 800 and fixed card unit 900 can be located at the interface 170, so that the interfaces of the power supply unit 600, line card unit 700, management card unit 800 and fixed card unit 900 can be exposed on the surface of the housing 100. In this way, external components can be easily connected to the power supply unit 600, line card unit 700, management card unit 800 and fixed card unit 900.
[0068] In some implementations, reference Figure 4 and Figure 9 The transmission component of this application may further include a hard disk carrier 500, which is disposed within the housing 100 and movably connected to the housing 100. The hard disk carrier 500 has a hard disk carrier position for mounting a hard disk 540. When the hard disk 540 is mounted on the hard disk carrier 500, the hard disk 540 is fixed to the hard disk carrier 500. The switching matrix unit 200 also includes a hard disk interface 240, located within the housing 100. The hard disk interface 240 is electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200 and cooperates with the hard disk 540, allowing the hard disk 540 to be plugged into the hard disk interface 240, thereby enabling the hard disk 540 to be electrically connected to the switching matrix unit 200. In this application, the hard disk carrier 500 is configured to move towards or away from the hard disk interface 240; that is, the hard disk carrier position of the hard disk carrier 500 can move towards or away from the switching matrix unit 200. When the hard disk carrier 500 moves toward the hard disk interface 240, the hard disk 540 mounted on the hard disk carrier 500 also moves toward the hard disk interface 240, allowing the interface on the hard disk 540 to be plugged into the hard disk interface 240 inside the housing 100. Conversely, when the hard disk carrier 500 moves away from the hard disk interface 240, the hard disk 540 also moves away from the hard disk interface 240, allowing the interface on the hard disk 540 to be separated from the hard disk interface 240 inside the housing 100.
[0069] The hard disk 540 is detachably connected to the hard disk carrier 500, so that the hard disk 540 mounted on the hard disk carrier 500 can be removed and replaced. When the hard disk is full of data, the hard disk carrier 500 can be moved by driving it, so that the hard disk 540 is separated from the hard disk interface 240 and the hard disk 540 can be replaced.
[0070] In some implementations, reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The hard disk carrier 500 of this application may specifically include a carrier base 510, a hard disk fixing member 520, and a drive member 530. The hard disk carrier position is disposed on the hard disk fixing member 520, allowing the hard disk fixing member 520 to be used to support and fix the hard disk 540. The hard disk fixing member 520 is movably connected to the carrier base 510. The drive member 530 is connected to the hard disk fixing member 520 and is configured to be driven to rotate in either a first direction or a second direction, which are mutually opposite. (See reference...) Figure 9As shown, when the drive member 530 rotates in the first direction, the hard disk holder 520 moves toward the hard disk interface 240 of the switching matrix 200, thereby allowing the hard disk 540 fixed to the hard disk holder 520 to move toward the hard disk interface 240 so that the hard disk 540 can dock with the hard disk interface 240. When the drive member 530 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the hard disk holder 520 moves away from the hard disk interface 240 inside the housing 100, thereby allowing the hard disk 540 fixed to the hard disk holder 520 to move away from the hard disk interface 240 so that the hard disk 540 can separate from the hard disk interface 240.
[0071] Specifically, the drive component 530 may include a handle 531 and a slider 532. The handle 531 is rotatably connected to the support base 510, and one end of the handle 531 is also rotatably connected to the slider 532. The rotatable connection points between the handle 531 and the slider 532 and between the handle 531 and the support base 510 are staggered, so that the connection points between the handle 531 and the support base 510 and between the handle 531 and the slider 532 are different. The slider 532 is connected to the hard disk mounting component 520. The support base 510 has a groove 511, and the extension direction of the groove 511 is the same as the direction of the hard disk mounting component 520 toward the hard disk interface 240. Part of the slider 532 can be embedded in the groove 511, so that the slider 532 can move along the groove 511. When the handle 531 is driven to rotate, it can drive the slider 532 to move along the slide groove 511, thereby causing the hard disk fixing component 520 connected to the slider 532 to move along the extension direction of the slide groove 511, so that the hard disk fixing component 520 can move toward or away from the hard disk interface 240, so that the hard disk can be connected to or separated from the hard disk interface 240.
[0072] For details, please refer to Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11 From left to right, the images show the first, second, and third states of the hard drive 540, illustrating the process of adjusting the hard drive 540 from being connected to the hard drive interface 240 to being disconnected from it. In the first state, the hard drive 540 is connected to the hard drive interface 240. By rotating the handle 531 in the second direction, the hard drive 540 is adjusted to the second state, at which point it is disconnected from the hard drive interface 240. As the handle 531 continues to rotate in the second direction, the hard drive 540 is adjusted to the third state, where the distance between the hard drive 540 and the hard drive interface 240 continues to increase, making it easier for the user to remove the hard drive 540 from the support base 510. To reconnect the hard drive 540 to the hard drive interface 240, the hard drive 540 is adjusted from the third state to the second state, and finally back to the first state.
[0073] The hard drive mounting bracket 520 can be a frame structure, and the hard drive 540 can be placed inside the hard drive mounting bracket 520. The hard drive mounting bracket 520 can have screw holes corresponding to the screw holes on the hard drive 540, so that the hard drive 540 can be fixed to the hard drive mounting bracket 520 with bolts. The support base 510 can also be a frame structure, and the hard drive mounting bracket 520 can be set inside the support base 510 so that the hard drive 540 can also be located inside the support base 510. In this way, the support base 510 can protect the hard drive 540.
[0074] A hard drive opening may also be provided on the housing 100. This opening is located on the surface of the housing 100 and communicates with a cavity within the housing 100. The hard drive carrier 500 can be placed inside or removed from the housing 100 through this opening for easy replacement of the hard drive 540. When the hard drive carrier 500 is inside the housing 100, at least a portion of the handle 531 is located outside the housing 100, allowing the user to easily rotate the handle 531 to connect or disconnect the hard drive 540 from the hard drive interface 240. Specifically, refer to... Figure 9 As shown, at this time, the hard disk 540 is located within the hard disk carrying section 500 and can be connected to the hard disk interface 240; Reference Figure 10 As shown, at this time, the hard disk 540 is located within the hard disk support section 500 and can be separated from the hard disk interface 240.
