Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of server equipment, and in particular to an interface structure and a server. Background Art

[0002] In existing technologies, inserting and removing data cables typically requires multiple steps, which not only reduces operational convenience but also can lead to low efficiency. This is especially true when inserting data cables into delicate data interfaces like small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules. Improper insertion can easily cause physical damage to the module, impacting data transmission stability.

[0003] To address these issues, several improved data cable designs have emerged on the market. However, these designs often focus solely on the shape and material of the plug to better fit the interface, while neglecting dynamic control during insertion. This results in the plug directly impacting the interface when subjected to external force, potentially damaging the interface and affecting data transmission quality. This risk of damage and unstable data transmission is particularly prominent in applications that require frequent plugging and unplugging. Summary of the Invention

[0012] According to an interface structure provided by the present invention, a limiting protrusion is provided in the assembly groove; When the plug is inserted into or removed from the interface, the elastic member abuts against the limiting protrusion.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The present invention provides an interface structure, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the interface structure 10 is mainly used in servers, and the main improvement lies in the SFP module data interface 1101 on the server hardware.

[0031] In one embodiment provided by the present invention, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the interface structure 10 includes: an interface component 110 and a plug-in component 120 . The interface component 110 is provided with an interface 1101 and a socket 1102, and a limit member 1103 is provided in the socket 1102; the plug component 120 is provided with a guide member 1201, a plug 1202 and a sealing cylinder 1203, and the guide member 1201 is rotatably arranged on the plug component 120, and one end of the guide member 1201 is provided with a spiral groove 1204 arranged along its circumference, and the other end of the guide member 1201 extends into the sealing cylinder 1203, and the sealing cylinder 1203 is filled with a buffer liquid that limits the rotation of the guide member 1201; in the process of inserting or removing the plug 1202 from the interface 1101, one end of the guide member 1201 extends into the socket 1102, and the limit member 1103 is engaged with the spiral groove 1204, so as to control the other end of the guide member 1201 to rotate in the sealing cylinder 1203 under the restriction of the buffer liquid through the limit member 1103.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the interface 1101 is used to establish a data connection with the plug assembly 120. The interface 1101 is located in the interface assembly 110 and is used to receive the plug 1202 of the plug assembly 120. A stopper 1103 is provided within the socket 1102 to cooperate with the guide member 1201 of the plug assembly 120. The guide member 1201 is rotatably mounted on the plug assembly 120, and one end of the guide member 1201 is provided with a spiral groove 1204 arranged along its circumference. The number of turns of the thread structure of the spiral groove 1204 is generally less than 0.5, in order to ensure that the guide member 1201 does not need to rotate more than 0.4 turns during the insertion process. The arrangement of spiral groove 1204 and stopper 1103 allows stopper 1103 to utilize a stopper protrusion 12053 that mates with spiral groove 1204 during insertion or removal of plug 1202. Stopper 1103 can move along the path of spiral groove 1204 and force guide member 1201 to rotate. Plug 1202 is located at one end of plug assembly 120 and is inserted into interface 1101 of interface assembly 110 to establish a data connection. Sealing cylinder 1203, located within plug assembly 120, accommodates the other end of guide member 1201 and a buffer liquid. The buffer liquid within sealing cylinder 1203 limits the rotation of guide member 1201 within the plug assembly.

[0033] When plug 1202 is inserted into interface 1101 of interface assembly 110, one end of guide member 1201 extends into receptacle 1102. At this point, stop member 1103 within receptacle 1102 engages with spiral groove 1204 on guide member 1201. As plug 1202 is further inserted, stop member 1103 moves along the path of spiral groove 1204, forcing guide member 1201 to rotate within plug assembly 120. The rotation of guide member 1201 is limited by the buffer fluid within sealing cylinder 1203. This limiting effect slows the movement of plug 1202 and achieves a slow, buffered connection.

[0034] Similarly, when plug 1202 is removed from interface 1101 of interface assembly 110, if guide member 1201 is still in socket 1102, stopper 1103 within socket 1102 engages with spiral groove 1204 on guide member 1201. As plug 1202 is removed, stopper 1103 moves along the path of spiral groove 1204, forcing guide member 1201 to rotate within plug assembly 120. The rotation of guide member 1201 is limited by the buffer fluid within sealing cylinder 1203, slowing the movement of plug 1202 and ensuring stable data transmission.

[0035] In the interface structure 10 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, during the process of inserting or removing the plug 1202, the limiting member 1103 in the socket 1102 cooperates with the spiral groove 1204 on the guide member 1201. When the guide column 12011 is inserted into the socket 1102, the limiting member 1103 is engaged with the spiral groove 1204, forcing the guide member 1201 to rotate. Since the guide member 1201 has a damping and buffering effect in the direction of rotation, a slow buffering connection is achieved, effectively reducing the impact and vibration caused by rapid plugging and unplugging. At the same time, the rotation of the guide member 1201 in the sealing cylinder 1203 is limited by the buffer liquid, which further slows down the movement speed of the plug 1202, ensures the stability of data transmission, reduces the damage to the interface 1101 caused by external forces, and extends the service life of the interface 1101.

[0036] When the interface component 110 is an SFP module, the purpose of setting the plug component 120 is to slow down the speed of inserting the connecting cable into the SFP module, reduce the impact on the life of the SFP module and data stability caused by large force, too fast speed or repeated improper force erasing of the contact area, and reduce the impact on data stability. The cable 1206 in the plug component 120 may break under the action of external force, and the interface component 110 can provide a good buffering effect.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, guide member 1201 includes a guide post 12011, a rotating shaft 12012, and a steering plate 12013. Guide post 12011 is rotatably connected to plug assembly 120 and is provided with a spiral groove 1204. Rotating shaft 12012 is located in sealing cylinder 1203 and connected to guide post 12011. Steering plate 12013 is located in sealing cylinder 1203 and connected to rotating shaft 12012. When plug 1202 is inserted into or removed from interface 1101, guide post 12011 extends into insertion hole 1102, thereby controlling the rotation of rotating shaft 12012 and steering plate 12013 within sealing cylinder 1203.

[0038] In this embodiment, one end of the guide post 12011 is provided with a spiral groove 1204, which is configured to engage with a stopper 1103 in the interface assembly 110 to control the rotation of the guide post 12011. When the plug 1202 is inserted into or removed from the interface 1101, the other end of the guide post 12011 extends into the receptacle 1102 and interacts with the stopper 1103. A rotating shaft 12012 is located within the sealing cylinder 1203 and is connected to the guide post 12011. A steering plate 12013 is also located within the sealing cylinder 1203 and is connected to the rotating shaft 12012. The function of the rotating shaft 12012 is to transmit the rotational motion of the guide post 12011 to the interior of the sealing cylinder 1203, thereby driving the rotation of the steering plate 12013. The steering plate 12013 is configured to increase the rotational inertia of the rotating shaft 12012, thereby further slowing the movement of the plug 1202.

[0039] When plug 1202 is inserted into or removed from interface 1101 of interface assembly 110, one end of guide post 12011 extends into receptacle 1102 and interacts with stopper 1103. Stopper 1103 moves along the path of spiral groove 1204 on guide post 12011, forcing guide post 12011 to rotate within plug assembly 120. Stopper 1103 and spiral groove 1204 provide guide post 1201 with a rotational damping effect. The rotation of guide post 12011 is transmitted to deflector plate 12013 via shaft 12012, causing it to rotate within sealing cylinder 1203. The rotation of deflector plate 12013 is further restricted by the buffer fluid within sealing cylinder 1203. This restraining effect slows the movement of plug 1202 and achieves a slow, buffered connection.

[0040] The guide member 1201 structure provided in this embodiment, through the design of the guide post 12011, the rotating shaft 12012, the steering plate 12013, and the use of a buffer fluid, enables fast, stable, and convenient insertion and removal of the data cable. This also enhances the stability of data transmission and extends the service life of the interface 1101, thus possessing broad application prospects and significant practical value.

[0041] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the steering plate 12013 separates the sealing cylinder 1203 into a first space and a second space, and a flow hole 12014 connecting the first space and the second space is provided on the steering plate 12013; during the rotation of the steering plate 12013 in the sealing cylinder 1203, the buffer liquid flows between the first space and the second space through the flow hole 12014.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sealing cylinder 1203 is fan-shaped, and the central angle of the fan corresponds to the arrangement angle of the threaded assembly groove 12052 on the guide column 12011. The steering plate 12013 is fixedly arranged on the sealing shaft, and it can follow the rotation of the guide column 12011 and rotate synchronously in the fan-shaped sealing cylinder 1203. At least one flow hole 12014 is provided on the steering plate 12013, and a buffering liquid is also provided in the sealing cylinder 1203. In this way, through the cooperation of the flow hole 12014, the steering plate 12013 and the buffer liquid, a buffering effect (bidirectional damping buffer) can be provided to the guide column 12011 in the rotation direction.

[0043] When plug 1202 is inserted into or removed from connector 1101, the rotation of guide post 12011 is transmitted to steering plate 12013 via shaft 12012, causing steering plate 12013 to rotate within sealing cylinder 1203. As steering plate 12013 rotates, the relative position between the first and second spaces changes, causing buffer liquid to flow between the two spaces through flow holes 12014. This flow not only slows down the movement of plug 1202, achieving a slow, buffered connection, but also enhances data transmission stability during connector insertion and removal through dynamic liquid balance.

[0044] This embodiment achieves dynamic balance of the buffer fluid and slow buffer connection by providing the flow hole 12014, further reducing damage to the interface 1101 when the plug 1202 is inserted and removed, and effectively extending the service life of the interface structure 10.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the interface assembly 110 includes a first housing 1104 and a retaining plate 1105. The first housing 1104 is provided with an interface 1101; the retaining plate 1105 is connected to the side of the first housing 1104 for connecting to an external structure (e.g., the server body 20); and the jack 1102 is provided on the retaining plate 1105 and / or the first housing 1104.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first housing 1104 is the outer shell of the interface assembly 110 and is provided with an interface 1101 for data connection with the plug 1202 of the plug assembly 120. The shape and size of the interface 1101 generally match the plug 1202 of the plug assembly 120 to ensure that they can be tightly and stably connected together.

[0047] A retaining plate 1105 is attached to the side of the first housing 1104 and is primarily used to connect to an external structure (e.g., the server body 20). The retaining plate 1105 may include screw holes, snaps, or other connection mechanisms to securely mount the interface assembly 110 on the server body 20 or other device.

[0048] The socket 1102 can be arranged on the limiting plate 1105 and / or the first housing 1104 as needed to receive the guide member 1201 of the plug assembly 120. The shape and size of the socket 1102 match those of the guide member 1201 to ensure that the guide member 1201 can be smoothly inserted and fixed in the socket 1102.

[0049] When the plug 1202 of the plug assembly 120 is inserted into the interface 1101 of the interface assembly 110, the plug 1202 and the interface 1101 fit tightly together to achieve a data connection. During this process, the guide member 1201 in the plug assembly 120 interacts with the limit member 1103 in the socket 1102, forcing the guide member 1201 to rotate and slow down the movement of the plug 1202, while simultaneously providing a buffer for the buffer liquid in the sealing cylinder 1203, thereby achieving a slow, buffered connection of the interface structure 10. When the plug 1202 of the plug assembly 120 is pulled out of the interface 1101 of the interface assembly 110, the guide member 1201 interacts with the limit member 1103 in the socket 1102, forcing the guide member 1201 to rotate and slow down the movement of the plug 1202, while simultaneously providing a buffer for the buffer liquid in the sealing cylinder 1203, thereby achieving a slow, buffered removal of the interface structure 10.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, there are multiple limit plates 1105, each of which is connected to each side of the first shell 1104, and each limit plate 1105 is provided with a socket 1102. The plug-in assembly 120 is provided with multiple one-to-one corresponding guide columns 12011 and sealing cylinders 1203, and the other end of each guide column 12011 extends into the corresponding sealing cylinder 1203; when the plug 1202 is inserted into or pulled out of the interface 1101, one end of at least one guide column 12011 extends to the corresponding socket 1102.

[0051] In this embodiment, two limit plates 1105 are provided, each connected to different sides of the first housing 1104. The limit plates 1105 are primarily intended to enhance the stability of the connection between the interface assembly 110 and an external structure (such as the server body 20). Both limit plates 1105 are provided with receptacles 1102 for inserting the guide posts 12011 of the plug-in assembly 120. The number and position of the receptacles 1102 correspond one-to-one with the guide posts 12011 of the plug-in assembly 120. Two guide posts 12011 are provided, corresponding one-to-one with the receptacles 1102 in the interface assembly 110. One end of each guide post 12011 is provided with a spiral groove 1204, which is used to engage with the limit member 1103 in the receptacle 1102 to control the rotation of the guide post 12011. The other end of each guide post 12011 extends into the corresponding sealing cylinder 1203. Each guide column 12011 corresponds to a sealing cylinder 1203 , and the sealing cylinder 1203 is filled with a buffer liquid for limiting the rotation speed of the guide column 12011 therein, thereby realizing a slow buffer connection.

[0052] When plug 1202 of connector assembly 120 is inserted into connector 1101 of interface assembly 110, one end of at least one guide post 12011 extends into the corresponding receptacle 1102. A stopper 1103 within receptacle 1102 interacts with a spiral groove 1204 on guide post 12011, forcing guide post 12011 to rotate within connector assembly 120. This rotation of guide post 12011 is transmitted via shaft 12012 to deflector plate 12013 within sealing cylinder 1203, causing deflector plate 12013 to rotate or flow within sealing cylinder 1203. This rotation or flow is restricted by the buffer fluid, slowing the movement of plug 1202 and achieving a slow, buffered connection.

[0053] The structure of the interface component 110 and the plug-in component 120 provided by the present invention, through multiple limit plates 1105 and corresponding guide columns 12011 and sealing cylinders 1203, allows the guide columns 12011 to be inserted into the corresponding sockets 1102 or not to be inserted into the corresponding sockets 1102 according to user needs, and the required buffering force can be adjusted as required to meet different needs.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the plug assembly 120 includes a second housing 1205 and a cable 1206. The second housing 1205 is provided with a guide member 1201 and a sealing sleeve 1203. A socket 12051 is formed within the second housing 1205, adapted to receive the interface assembly 110. One end of the cable 1206 is located within the socket 12051 and connected to the plug 1202. The other end of the cable 1206 extends through the second housing 1205 and out of the second housing 1205. When the plug 1202 is inserted into the interface 1101, at least a portion of the end of the first housing 1104 extends into the socket 12051.

[0055] Specifically, the second housing 1205 serves as the outer shell of the plug-in assembly 120. The second housing 1205 is divided into an upper housing 12054 and a lower housing 12055. The upper housing 12054 and the lower housing 12055 are connected to each other, and a socket 12051 is formed therein for receiving the interface assembly 110. The socket 12051 is designed to accommodate and secure the first housing 1104 of the interface assembly 110, ensuring a tight connection between the two. The socket 12051 is located within the second housing 1205. Its shape and size match the first housing 1104 of the interface assembly 110 to ensure that the interface 1101 on the first housing 1104 can be smoothly inserted and secured in the socket 12051. The guide member 1201 is connected to the second housing 1205 and generally includes a guide post 12011, a rotating shaft 12012, and a steering plate 12013. The function of guide member 1201 is to guide plug 1202 along a predetermined path and control its movement speed during insertion or removal from interface 1101. Sealing cylinder 1203 is connected to guide member 1201 and is typically located within second housing 1205, near socket 12051. Sealing cylinder 1203 is filled with a buffering fluid to limit the rotational speed of guide member 1201, thereby achieving a slow, buffered connection. One end of cable 1206 extends through second housing 1205 to the exterior of second housing 1205 for connection to an external device (such as a computer, server, etc.); the other end is located within socket 12051 and connected to plug 1202. Plug 1202 is located within socket 12051 and connected to one end of cable 1206. The shape and size of plug 1202 match those of socket 1102 of interface assembly 110, enabling a data connection with interface assembly 110. When the plug 1202 is inserted into the interface 1101 , the plug 1202 fits tightly with the socket 1102 , ensuring the stability and reliability of the data connection.

[0056] When plug 1202 of connector assembly 120 is inserted into interface 1101 of interface assembly 110, at least a portion of the end of first housing 1104 extends into socket 12051, forming a tight connection with second housing 1205. Simultaneously, guide post 12011 in guide member 1201 interacts with stopper 1103 within socket 1102, forcing guide post 12011 to rotate within second housing 1205. This rotation of guide post 12011 is transmitted via shaft 12012 to deflector plate 12013 within sealing cylinder 1203, causing deflector plate 12013 to rotate or flow within sealing cylinder 1203. This rotation or flow is restricted by the buffer fluid, slowing the movement of plug 1202 and achieving a slow, buffered connection.

[0057] It should be noted that cables 1206 are typically provided in multiple configurations, for example, a first cable 12061 and a second cable 12062 (fiber or copper signal cables). When inserted into two SFP modules (interface assembly 110) of interfaces 1101, a single insertion action can complete the entire data connection. First and second cables 12061, 12062, by virtue of their shapes (e.g., corresponding protrusions), can be configured with compatible snap-in points at corresponding locations on second housing 1205. This allows first and second cables 12061, 12062 to remain securely integrated within second housing 1205 during insertion, removal, or other abnormal stresses. The use of multiple cables 1206 allows for a single insertion action to complete the entire data connection, greatly simplifying the insertion and removal procedures of traditional data cables and significantly improving operational convenience and efficiency.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, one of the first housing 1104 and the socket 12051 is provided with a mounting groove 12052, and the other is provided with an elastic member 11041. When the plug 1202 is inserted into the interface 1101, the elastic member 11041 slides into the mounting groove 12052 and is pressed between the side wall of the mounting groove 12052 and the first housing 1104.

[0059] In this embodiment, a mounting groove 12052 is provided within the socket 12051. This groove is designed to accommodate and secure the elastic member 11041, ensuring that it slides properly into the groove when the plug 1202 is inserted into the interface 1101. The elastic member 11041 is disposed on the first housing 1104 and is typically made of an elastic material (such as a spring or rubber). The elastic member 11041 provides additional pressure during insertion of the plug 1202 into the interface 1101, ensuring a tight connection between the first housing 1104 and the socket 12051. When the elastic member 11041 slides into the mounting groove 12052, it presses between the sidewalls of the groove 12052 and the first housing 1104, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection. Typically, the elastic member 11041 has a certain length, ensuring that it provides a locking and anti-slip effect over a longer travel range.

[0060] When the plug 1202 of the plug assembly 120 is inserted into the interface 1101 of the interface assembly 110, the first housing 1104 gradually enters the socket 12051. As the first housing 1104 moves deeper, the assembly groove 12052 and the elastic member 11041 gradually approach each other until the elastic member 11041 completely slides into the assembly groove 12052. At this point, the elastic member 11041 is pressed between the sidewall of the assembly groove 12052 and the first housing 1104, providing additional pressure and stability to the connection between the first housing 1104 and the socket 12051.

[0061] This design not only ensures the stability and reliability of the data connection, but also reduces the loosening or damage of the interface 1101 caused by external forces through the elastic effect of the elastic member 11041.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a limiting protrusion 12053 is provided in the assembly groove 12052 ; when the plug 1202 is inserted into or removed from the interface 1101 , the elastic member 11041 abuts against the limiting protrusion 12053 .

[0063] The assembly groove 12052 is provided with a limiting protrusion 12053, which is a structure protruding from the side wall or bottom of the assembly groove 12052. The limiting protrusion 12053 is generally arranged at the starting end of the assembly groove 12052. The function of the limiting protrusion 12053 is to abut against the elastic member 11041 as the elastic member 11041 slides into the assembly groove 12052, thereby limiting the range of movement of the elastic member 11041 and ensuring that it remains in the correct position.

[0064] When plug 1202 of connector assembly 120 is inserted into connector 1101 of interface assembly 110, elastic member 11041 gradually slides into assembly slot 12052 as first housing 1104 moves. During this process, elastic member 11041 abuts against retaining protrusion 12053. This abutment not only limits the range of movement of elastic member 11041 but also ensures the stability and reliability of elastic member 11041 within assembly slot 12052. When plug 1202 is fully inserted into connector 1101, elastic member 11041 is securely fixed within assembly slot 12052 and separated from retaining protrusion 12053. Retaining protrusion 12053 provides a locking and anti-detachment effect, preventing plug 1202 from detaching from connector 1101 during use and providing additional pressure and stability to the connection between first housing 1104 and socket 12051.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the interface structure 10 further includes a pressure sensor 130 and a data processor 140. The pressure sensor 130 is configured to detect the pressure exerted on the elastic member 11041. The data processor 140 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 130 and is configured to generate connection status information between the plug 1202 and the interface 1101 based on the pressure read. The status information includes an insertion state and a separation state.

[0066] When plug 1202 is inserted into or removed from interface 1101, elastic member 11041 is subjected to pressure from first housing 1104 and socket 12051. Pressure sensor 130 monitors these pressure changes in real time and converts them into electrical signals for output. Data processor 140 is responsible for receiving and processing the electrical signals from pressure sensor 130. Based on the pressure values ​​it reads, data processor 140 uses a pre-set algorithm or logic to determine the connection status between plug 1202 and interface 1101.

[0067] When the plug 1202 is fully inserted into the interface 1101 and the elastic member 11041 is securely fixed in the assembly groove 12052 and bears a certain pressure, the data processor 140 determines that the plug is in the inserted state. When the plug 1202 is removed from the interface 1101 and the elastic member 11041 is no longer under pressure or the pressure is significantly reduced, the data processor 140 determines that the plug is in the separated state.

[0068] For example, the detection end of pressure sensor 130 is fixed to the end of elastic member 11041 near the outside of the device. The outer end surface of elastic member 11041 is inclined. Therefore, when plug 1202 is inserted into or removed from interface 1101, stop protrusion 12053 in assembly groove 12052 contacts elastic member 11041. Assuming that elastic member 11041 is in full contact with stop protrusion 12053, the value of pressure sensor 130 is 3. In the disconnected state, elastic member 11041 is out of assembly groove 12052, and the value of pressure sensor 130 is 0. When elastic member 11041 is in contact with the sidewall of assembly groove 12052, indicating an inserted state, the value of pressure sensor 130 is 1. The value of pressure sensor 130 can be used to determine whether the current connection cable is connected and the connection position, generating a connection status log for plug assembly 120 in interface assembly 110. For example, when the pressure sensor 130 detects that the pressure value changes from 1 to 3 and then returns to 1 under the action of the elastic member 11041, it is determined that the current interface component 110 and the plug-in component 120 have restored a reliable connection position. If the pressure value changes from 1 to 0, it means that the plug-in component 120 has been detached. If the pressure value increases instantaneously from 0 and then changes to 1, it means that the interface component 110 is inserted into the plug-in component 120.

[0069] The above is just an example and is not limited to the above monitoring scenario. In order to achieve reliable data transmission and let the staff know the status change information of the interface component 110 and the plug-in component 120 in real time, the pressure sensor 130 is connected to the data processor 140. On the one hand, the data processor 140 converts the data into readable digital data. On the other hand, it can be connected to the corresponding processing component of the server through the data processor 140 and the signal line, or a remote communication module can be set up separately to independently monitor the status of all server interfaces 1101, so as to facilitate real-time grasp of the status information of all interfaces 1101.

[0070] In some embodiments, the interface structure 10 further includes a temperature sensor configured to detect the temperature of the interface component 110 ; and a data processor 140 electrically connected to the temperature sensor and configured to generate a log of temperature changes of the interface component 110 based on the read temperature.

[0071] In this embodiment, during the operation of the interface component 110, a certain amount of heat is generated due to processes such as current transmission and signal processing, causing the temperature of the interface component 110 to change. The temperature sensor can monitor this temperature change in real time and convert it into an electrical signal for output. The data processor 140 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and is responsible for receiving and processing the electrical signal from the temperature sensor. The data processor 140 generates log information of the temperature change of the interface component 110 based on the read temperature value through a preset algorithm or logic. The data processor 140 generates log information based on the read temperature value, recording the details of the temperature change of the interface component 110 over a period of time. The log information may include parameters such as timestamp, temperature value, temperature change rate, etc., to facilitate subsequent analysis and processing.

[0072] When interface component 110 is operating, the temperature sensor monitors its temperature changes in real time, converts the detected temperature values ​​into electrical signals, and outputs them to data processor 140. Data processor 140 receives and processes these electrical signals, generating a log of the temperature changes of interface component 110 using a pre-set algorithm or logic. This log information is stored in the internal memory of data processor 140 or output to an external device or user via communication interface 1101 (e.g., USB, Bluetooth, etc.) for further analysis and processing.

[0073] Furthermore, in some embodiments, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, vibration sensors, and the like may be installed within interface 1101 to monitor the operating status and environmental conditions of interface 1101 in real time. An intelligent processing unit (such as a microprocessor or single-chip microcomputer) is installed within or near interface 1101 to process data collected by the sensors and make judgments and decisions based on pre-set algorithms or logic. The intelligent processing unit communicates with a remote monitoring system or user terminal via an alarm and communication module, and promptly sends an alarm message when an anomaly or fault is detected.

[0074] During operation, the sensor collects real-time data on parameters such as temperature, humidity, and vibration within interface 1101 and transmits the data to the intelligent processing unit. The intelligent processing unit processes and analyzes the received data. If an anomaly or fault (such as excessive temperature, excessive humidity, or abnormal vibration) is detected, an alarm mechanism is triggered. The alarm and communication module transmits the alarm information to a remote monitoring system or user terminal, allowing the user to take timely action.

[0075] At the same time, an adaptive spring clamping mechanism can be designed inside the interface 1101, which can be fine-tuned according to the size and shape of the plug 1202 to ensure close contact and stable connection between the plug 1202 and the interface 1101.

[0076] It should be noted that, as needed, an intelligent recognition module is integrated within interface 1101. This module can identify information such as the type, specifications, and transmission rate of plug 1202 and automatically adjust the operating mode and parameters of interface 1101 based on the recognition results. Interface 1101 can dynamically allocate power based on the actual power consumption requirements of connected devices, avoiding overload or power shortages and improving energy efficiency.

[0077] When plug 1202 is inserted into interface 1101, the adaptive spring clamping mechanism fine-tunes itself based on the size and shape of plug 1202, ensuring close contact between plug 1202 and interface 1101. The intelligent recognition module automatically adjusts the operating mode and parameters of interface 1101 by reading information on plug 1202 to accommodate the connection requirements of different devices.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, Figures 1 to 8 As shown, there are two interfaces 1101, namely the first interface and the second interface; there are two jacks 1102, namely the first jack and the second jack; there are two guide members 1201, namely the first guide member and the second guide; there are two sealing cylinders 1203, namely the first sealing cylinder and the second sealing cylinder; a first limiting member is provided in the first jack, and a second limiting member is provided in the second jack; a first jack and a second jack are provided on both sides of the first interface and the second interface respectively; a first guide member and a second guide are provided on both sides of the plug 1202 respectively; the first guide member is provided on the first guide member. A portion extends to the first sealing cylinder, and a portion on the second guide extends to the second sealing cylinder; during the process of inserting or removing the plug 1202 into the first interface and / or the second interface, one end of the first guide extends into the first socket, and one end of the second guide extends into the first socket, the first limiting member is snapped into the spiral groove 1204 of the first guide member, and the second limiting member is snapped into the spiral groove 1204 of the second guide member, so as to control the first guide member to rotate in the first sealing cylinder through the first limiting member, and control the second guide member to rotate in the second sealing cylinder through the second limiting member.

[0079] When the plug 1202 begins to be inserted into the first interface and / or the second interface, the first guide member and the second guide member enter the first jack and the second jack respectively. As the plug 1202 goes deeper, the spiral grooves 1204 on the first guide member and the second guide member contact the first limit member and the second limit member respectively. Under the guidance of the spiral grooves 1204, the first limit member and the second limit member are respectively snapped into the spiral grooves 1204 of the first guide member and the second guide member. At this time, the first guide member rotates in the first sealing cylinder, and the second guide member rotates in the second sealing cylinder. This rotation not only helps the plug 1202 to enter the interface 1101 smoothly, but also provides an additional fixing effect through the cooperation between the spiral grooves 1204 and the limit member 1103.

[0080] When plug 1202 needs to be unplugged, the user applies a certain amount of force to withdraw plug 1202 from interface 1101. During this process, if the first and second guide members are still in their corresponding first and second receptacles, the first stopper engages with the spiral groove 1204 on the first guide member, and the second stopper engages with the spiral groove 1204 on the second guide member. As plug 1202 is unplugged, the first and second stoppers move along the paths of the corresponding spiral grooves 1204, forcing the first and second guide members to rotate on the plug assembly 120. The rotation of the first and second guide members is limited by the buffer liquid within the corresponding sealing cylinder 1203, slowing the movement of plug 1202 and ensuring stable data transmission.

[0081] In another embodiment of the present invention, a server is provided. Figure 9 As shown, the server includes: a server body 20 and an interface structure 10. The interface component 110 is set in the server body 20. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the interface structure 10 includes: an interface component 110 and a plug-in component 120 . The interface component 110 is provided with an interface 1101 and a socket 1102, and a limit member 1103 is provided in the socket 1102; the plug component 120 is provided with a guide member 1201, a plug 1202 and a sealing cylinder 1203, and the guide member 1201 is rotatably arranged on the plug component 120, and one end of the guide member 1201 is provided with a spiral groove 1204 arranged along its circumference, and the other end of the guide member 1201 extends into the sealing cylinder 1203, and the sealing cylinder 1203 is filled with a buffer liquid that limits the rotation of the guide member 1201; in the process of inserting or removing the plug 1202 from the interface 1101, one end of the guide member 1201 extends into the socket 1102, and the limit member 1103 is engaged with the spiral groove 1204, so as to control the other end of the guide member 1201 to rotate in the sealing cylinder 1203 under the restriction of the buffer liquid through the limit member 1103.

[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment, the interface 1101 is used to establish a data connection with the plug assembly 120. The interface 1101 is located in the interface assembly 110 and is used to receive the plug 1202 of the plug assembly 120. A stopper 1103 is provided within the socket 1102 to cooperate with the guide member 1201 of the plug assembly 120. The guide member 1201 is rotatably mounted on the plug assembly 120, and one end of the guide member 1201 is provided with a spiral groove 1204 arranged along its circumference. The number of turns of the thread structure of the spiral groove 1204 is generally less than 0.5, in order to ensure that the guide member 1201 does not need to rotate more than 0.4 turns during the insertion process. The arrangement of spiral groove 1204 and stopper 1103 allows stopper 1103 to utilize a stopper protrusion 12053 that mates with spiral groove 1204 during insertion or removal of plug 1202. Stopper 1103 can move along the path of spiral groove 1204 and force guide member 1201 to rotate. Plug 1202 is located at one end of plug assembly 120 and is inserted into interface 1101 of interface assembly 110 to establish a data connection. Sealing cylinder 1203, located within plug assembly 120, accommodates the other end of guide member 1201 and a buffer liquid. The buffer liquid within sealing cylinder 1203 limits the rotation of guide member 1201 within the plug assembly.

[0083] In the server of the embodiment of the present invention, during the process of inserting or removing the plug 1202, the limiting member 1103 in the socket 1102 cooperates with the spiral groove 1204 on the guide member 1201. When the guide column 12011 is inserted into the socket 1102, the limiting member 1103 is engaged with the spiral groove 1204, forcing the guide member 1201 to rotate. Because the guide member 1201 has a damping and buffering effect in the direction of rotation, a slow buffer connection is achieved, effectively reducing the impact and vibration caused by rapid plugging and unplugging. At the same time, the rotation of the guide member 1201 in the sealing cylinder 1203 is limited by the buffer liquid, which further slows down the movement speed of the plug 1202, ensures the stability of data transmission, reduces the damage to the interface 1101 caused by external forces, and extends the service life of the interface 1101.

[0085] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
