Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of routers, and more specifically to a router with a fast data backup function. Background Art

[0002] A router is a hardware device that connects two or more networks and acts as a gateway between networks. It can avoid the trouble of manually reconfiguring the network when the router fails or needs to be reset, saving time and effort. Router data backup includes important information such as network names, WiFi passwords, administrator login passwords, Internet access methods, port forwarding rules, DHCP settings, etc. Without backup, these settings will be completely lost when the router fails or is reset, resulting in the inability to use the network normally.

[0003] In the prior art, routers with a backup function generally install the motherboard in a square housing structure, connect antennas around the housing structure, and set the ports for connecting to the network on the back of the housing structure. The signal lines are directly plugged into the ports on the back of the housing. The data backup method is to perform data backup through a storage component provided on the motherboard or upload the information to be backed up to the cloud to achieve data backup so that the router settings can be restored when needed.

[0004] In view of the above related technologies, the data storage module in existing routers generally does not have a data encryption function, and some data with a high degree of confidentiality may be illegally read or tampered with. In addition, there is generally no protection mechanism provided at the ports of existing routers, and the data transmission lines at the ports can be randomly unplugged. In summary, it is not easy to quickly and safely back up data in existing routers. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0046] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below according to its overall structure.

[0047] The first embodiment:

[0048] For a router with a fast data backup function, please refer to Figures 1-12 , which includes a housing 1. A main board 4 is installed in the housing 1. An interface for connecting an external storage unit is provided on one side of the main board 4, and an encrypted storage unit is connected at the interface. Specifically, in this embodiment, the encrypted storage unit is a flash drive 7 with an encryption function. The encryption method and storage means of the flash drive 7 are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0049] It further includes a housing cover 2. A locking mechanism with an identity recognition function is provided between the housing cover 2 and the housing 1. The wiring ports of the main board 4 are located between the housing cover 2 and the housing 1 to prevent others from randomly plugging and unplugging the signal wires of the router without permission. Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism with an identity recognition function is specifically a mechanical lock 203. In other unpublicized embodiments, the locking mechanism with an identity recognition function can also adopt a fingerprint lock, etc.

[0050] In the above embodiment, specifically, please refer to Figures 5-12 again. Slide grooves 106 are provided at both the top and bottom of the housing 1. A slide column 205 is slidably connected in the slide grooves 106. The slide column 205 is fixedly connected to the housing cover 2. Specifically, the diameter of the slide column 205 is equal to the width of the slide groove 106, and the length of the slide groove 106 is greater than the diameter of the slide column 205. The housing cover 2 can rotate relative to the housing 1 with the axis of the slide column 205 as the axis, so that the housing cover 2 can first rotate and close and then slide and lock during the process of connecting to the housing 1, and at the same time complete the closing of the housing cover 2 and the connection of the external storage unit.

[0051] Further, a first slot 102 is provided on one side of the housing 1. The interface on the main board 4 for connecting an external storage unit is located in the first slot 102. Specifically, the interface on the main board 4 for connecting an external storage unit is a socket 103. The housing cover 2 is fixedly connected with an installation table 202 that can be inserted into the first slot 102. A flash drive 7 is inserted into the installation table 202. The direction of the flash drive 7 when inserted into the installation table 202 is orthogonal to the direction when inserted into the socket 103. One end of the plug of the flash drive 7 can be inserted into the corresponding interface in the first slot 102 when the housing cover 2 is closed. Using a flash drive 7 with encryption function to store the data of the router realizes highly secure backup, and at the same time facilitates transferring the stored data to other routers for use. Plugging and unplugging the flash drive 7 requires unlocking the connection between the housing cover 2 and the housing 1 first, which further ensures the security of the flash drive 7 and prevents the flash drive 7 from being directly pulled out by others.

[0052] In the above embodiment, specifically, please refer to Figures 9-12 , a second slot 104 is provided on one side of the housing 1. A jack 105 is provided in the second slot 104. A mechanical lock 203 for inserting into the second slot 104 is fixedly connected to the housing cover 2. The locking tongue 204 in the mechanical lock 203 can be inserted into the jack 105 after the mechanical lock 203 enters the second slot 104. The axis of the jack 105 is orthogonal to the sliding direction of the mechanical lock 203 when it enters the second slot 104. When the locking tongue 204 of the mechanical lock 203 is inserted into the jack 105, the housing cover 2 and the housing 1 cannot slide relative to each other, and since the locking tongue 204 is inserted vertically upward into the jack 105, the housing cover 2 also cannot rotate about the axis of the sliding column 205 at the same time. The locking between the housing cover 2 and the housing 1 is realized through the mechanical lock 203, and a key adapted to the mechanical lock 203 is required to open the housing cover 2.

[0053] In the above embodiment, specifically, please refer to Figures 6-10 , a first wire outlet 101 is provided at the bottom end on one side of the housing 1. A second wire outlet 201 corresponding to the first wire outlet 101 is provided at the bottom end of the housing cover 2. The cross-sections of the first wire outlet 101 and the second wire outlet 201 are both U-shaped, but the opening directions are different. The signal line after connecting the wiring port of the main board 4 can be placed into the first wire outlet 101 after passing through the cable. The signal line connecting the wiring port on the main board 4 passes through the housing 1 from the non-coincident part of the first wire outlet 101 and the second wire outlet 201, preventing others from randomly plugging and unplugging the signal lines on the router.

[0054] Further, the sliding stroke of the sliding column 205 is greater than the distance of the flash drive 7 inserted into the corresponding interface in the first slot 102, so that the housing cover 2 can be rotated and opened only after the flash drive 7 is pulled out, effectively avoiding the situation that the flash drive 7 has not been pulled out during the process of rotating and opening the housing cover 2, and thus avoiding damage to the plug of the flash drive 7 or the socket 103.

[0055] Second embodiment:

[0056] For routers with fast data backup function, see Figures 5-12 On the basis of the first embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is that a heat sink 5 is connected to the front of the mainboard 4, and the area of the shell cover 2 facing the heat sink 5 is provided with ventilating holes for ventilation. The heat dissipation fins on the heat sink 5 are arranged along the wiring direction of the mainboard 4 and extend downward to a position higher than the first outlet 101 and the second outlet 201, so that the signal line is arranged and bent along the fin direction before leaving the shell 1, which can effectively prevent others from directly pulling out the signal line and causing its interface to be detached from the wiring port.

[0057] Furthermore, the bottom end of the heat sink 5 is fixedly connected to a wire card 501, which is staggered in the vertical direction. The wire card 501 serves to position each signal line to prevent the signal lines from being entangled with each other in the shell 1. When the signal lines are arranged along the fin direction of the heat sink 5 and clamped on the wire card 501, the signal lines inside the shell 1 are bent, and the signal lines extending out of the shell 1 are approximately orthogonal to the plug-in and unplugging directions of the wiring ports of the motherboard 4. When the shell 1 and the shell cover 2 are locked with each other and the shell cover 2 is closed, it is difficult to directly pull out the signal lines outside the shell 1 by directly pulling them, and it is even more impossible to send the signal lines into the shell 1 and plug them into the corresponding ports using tools such as steel wires.

[0058] The third embodiment:

[0059] For routers with fast data backup function, see Figures 1-4 , Figures 9-12 On the basis of the second embodiment, the difference from the second embodiment is that a side of the shell 1 away from the shell cover 2 is fixedly connected to the back plate 3, the top of the back side of the mainboard 4 is rotatably connected to the antenna 6, and the back plate 3 is provided with an antenna slot 301 for accommodating the antenna 6. After the antenna 6 is rotated and opened, it is located at the upper part of the shell 1, so that the router remains in a vertical state when working, which can effectively reduce the placement area occupied by the shell 1.

[0060] Fourth embodiment:

[0061] For routers with fast data backup function, see Figure 6 , Figures 9-12, on the basis of the third embodiment, the difference from the third embodiment is that an anti-fooling rib 701 is provided on the side of the flash drive 7 facing the mounting table 202, and a receiving structure for cooperating with the anti-fooling rib 701 is provided in the mounting table 202. Specifically, the flash drive 7 in this embodiment is a USB flash drive with an encryption function. In order to prevent the interface of the flash drive 7 from not matching the socket 103, when the flash drive 7 is inserted into the mounting table 202, the correct orientation and front and back of the flash drive 7 are determined by the anti-fooling rib 701 on the side of the flash drive 7. The flash drive 7 can fill the space in the mounting table 202. When the flash drive 7 can smoothly enter the mounting table 202, the flash drive 7 is in the correct connection state at this time and can be inserted into the socket 103 while the housing cover 2 slides and closes, so that the flash drive 7 can be smoothly aligned with the corresponding port, and the insertion of the flash drive 7 is realized while closing the housing cover 2.

[0062] When the present invention is working specifically: the data during the use of the router is backed up to the flash drive 7 with an encryption function, further realizing the secure backup of the data;

[0063] When it is necessary to plug and unplug the signal line of the router, it is necessary to first use a key adapted to the mechanical lock 203 to open the mechanical lock 203, so that the locking tongue 204 is withdrawn from the jack 105, and then the housing cover 2 can be slid in the direction of pulling out the flash drive 7, so that the flash drive 7 is pulled out from the corresponding socket. After rotating the housing cover 2, the signal line can be conveniently plugged and unplugged and replaced. After operations such as plugging and unplugging and replacing the signal line, the signal line is arranged neatly along the fins of the heat dissipation plate 5, and is bent and clamped on the wire clip 501 at the corresponding wire clip 501, and then placed into the first wire outlet 101. Then rotate the housing cover 2 to align the second wire outlet 201 on the housing cover 2 with the signal line of the router, so that the signal lines of the router are all concentrated between the first wire outlet 101 and the second wire outlet 201. After the housing cover 2 rotates and fits the housing 1, slide the housing cover 2 in the insertion direction of the flash drive 7, so that the housing cover 2 is inserted and matched with the housing 1, and then use the mechanical lock 203 to lock the housing 1 and the housing cover 2, and the plugging and unplugging and replacement of the signal line in the housing 1 can be completed;

[0064] The flash drive 7 in the mounting table 202 is in a state of being detached from the socket on the main board 4 when the housing cover 2 is opened. At this time, the flash drive 7 can be removed and installed on other routers for use, or inserted into a computer for secondary backup, further improving the security of the router for data backup.

[0065] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, the specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and not limitations thereof. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations that do not contribute creatively to the embodiments as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
