The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0094] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "multiple" means two or more (including two). Similarly, "multiple groups" means two or more groups (including two groups), and "multiple pieces" means two or more pieces (including two pieces).

[0096] In the application of power devices (such as secondary power control and protection devices), most devices include two connection methods: network interface and serial port. Usually, the network interface is used to manage the device, and the serial port is used for debugging and parameter configuration. These two interfaces are usually used in various stages such as the research, development, testing, commissioning, factory configuration, and actual use of the device. Currently, some pins of the network interface are connected to the pins of the serial port, realizing the simultaneous extraction of network interface signals and serial port signals through a network interface and an integrated cable, reducing the panel area of the device.

[0097] However, in the main application scenarios of power devices, there are electromagnetic interferences such as magnetic fields, radiation, and electrostatic fields. Under these environmental interferences, network interface signals, serial port signals, and integrated cables that can connect these two interfaces at the same time are extremely vulnerable to interference, making it impossible to manage and debug the device, and lacking the protection function for the transceiver ports of the connected devices.

[0098] Therefore, in view of the problem of poor anti-interference ability of conventional multi-functional interfaces and cables, the present application proposes a multi-functional interface.

[0099] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. shows a schematic structural diagram of a multi-functional interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. For the convenience of description, only the parts related to this embodiment are shown and are described in detail as follows:

[0100] The multi-functional interface includes a communication interface 100, a network interface branch 210, and a serial port branch 220. The network interface branch 210 is connected to the first part of pins 101 that form the network interface in the communication interface 100; the serial port branch 220 is connected to the second part of pins 102 that form the serial port in the communication interface 100, and the first part of pins 101 and the second part of pins 102 in the communication interface 100 are physically isolated from each other.

[0101] Among them, the communication interface 100 is, for example, an Ethernet interface, a serial port interface, a type-C interface, a General-Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) interface, etc. The fact that the first part of pins 101 and the second part of pins 102 of the communication interface 100 are isolated from each other means that: in the hardware of the communication interface 100, none of the one or more pins in the first part of pins 101 fall between any two adjacent pins in the second part of pins 102, and none of the one or more pins in the second part of pins 102 fall between any two adjacent pins in the first part of pins 101. Exemplarily, the first part of pins 101 includes pins 1, 2, 3, and 4, and the second part of pins 102 includes pins 7 and 8.

[0102] The first part of pins 101 in the communication interface 100 includes 4 pins, and the formed network port can be a 10M / 100M network port. The serial port formed by the second part of pins 102 in the communication interface 100 includes 2 pins, and can be a Transistor Transistor Logic (TTL) serial port, an RS-232 serial port, or an RS-485 serial port. One end of the network port branch 210 and the serial port branch 220 is connected to the communication interface 100, and the other end is connected to other circuits (external circuits relative to the multifunctional interface) of the device where the communication interface 100 is located to transmit signals. The communication interface 100 is, for example, an RJ45 socket for connecting to an external device to transmit signals.

[0103] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the communication interface 100 is configured as a communication interface 100 and a serial port interface, reducing the number of cables and the size of the device panel during application. In addition, the pins of the communication network port signal and the pins of the serial port signal are physically isolated, improving the ability to resist crosstalk caused by different levels between the two signals, which is beneficial for application in a strong electromagnetic interference environment. After the anti-interference ability of the communication interface 100 is improved, it also improves the problem of device damage caused by the low anti-interference ability of the communication interface 100 in the device where the communication interface 100 is located and the connected devices.

[0104] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a multifunctional interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. For the sake of convenience of description, only the parts related to this embodiment are shown and are described in detail as follows:

[0105] The communication interface 100 can also configure at least one pin between the first part of pins 101 and the second part of pins 102 as a signal ground pin, thereby improving the signal and physical isolation between the first part of pins 101 and the second part of pins 102, which is beneficial to improving the ability to resist crosstalk caused by different levels between two signals and is beneficial to be applied in a strong electromagnetic interference environment. In one example, for instance, the communication interface 100 is an RJ45 interface, the first part of pins 101 includes pins 1, 2, 3, and 4, the second part of pins 102 includes pins 7 and 8, and pin 5 or 6 is set as the signal ground pin.

[0106] According to some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. shows a schematic structural diagram of a multifunctional interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. For the sake of convenience of description, only the parts related to this embodiment are shown and are described in detail as follows:

[0107] A first anti-interference module 211 is provided on the network port branch 210, and the first anti-interference module 211 is used to filter out the interference signals of the network port branch 210.

[0108] The first anti-interference module 211 is, for example, a surge protection circuit, an electromagnetic interference protection circuit, or a common ground crosstalk protection circuit, etc. In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the multifunctional interface sets an anti-interference module for the network port branch 210 that transmits network port signals, improves the anti-interference ability of the network port branch 210, and plays a protective role for the network port branch 210, which is beneficial to be applied in a strong electromagnetic interference environment. Further, it can also solve the problem of device damage caused by the poor anti-interference ability of the communication interface 100 to the devices where the communication interface 100 is located and connected.

[0109] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 3 , a second anti-interference module 221 is provided on the serial port branch 220, and the second anti-interference module 221 is used to filter out the interference signals of the serial port branch 220.
