Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a frame splitting device, a chassis, and a communication device. Background Technology

[0002] With the growth of global mobile users and the restructuring of business models brought about by digital transformation, customer network construction needs and new business opportunities are rapidly increasing. The demand for data processing in the era of big data will continue to grow, and the demand for micro-module-related businesses in chassis and integrated scenarios, as the foundation of server equipment, will also continue to rise. A chassis consists of a enclosure and multiple pluggable units. The enclosure contains multiple slots into which the pluggable units are installed. Typically, a chassis can be configured with different types of pluggable units to achieve matching functions for different usage scenarios. However, because different types of pluggable units have different dimensions, and the dimensions of the slots inside the chassis are often difficult to change once determined, some pluggable units and slots may have mismatches during insertion. This limits the application of these pluggable units in the chassis, thus affecting the chassis's ability to meet the functional requirements of certain usage scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a frame splitting device, a chassis, and a communication device. The frame splitting device can be used to split the frame of the chassis to achieve flexible changes in the frame form and expand the application scenarios of the chassis.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a frame splitting device for use in a chassis insert frame, wherein the insert frame includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a third sidewall, and a fourth sidewall. The first sidewall and the second sidewall are disposed opposite each other along a first direction, and the third sidewall and the fourth sidewall are disposed opposite each other. The first sidewall, the third sidewall, the second sidewall, and the fourth sidewall are sequentially connected to enclose and form an insert frame extending along a third direction. The frame splitting device includes a plate and n partitions, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. n partitions are arranged at intervals along the second direction. The n partitions are used to divide the insert frame into n+1 sub-insert frames arranged along the second direction. The plate body is fixedly connected to the n partitions respectively. The plate body can be set in at least one sub-insert frame near the third side wall or near the fourth side wall. The plate body is slidably connected to at least one of the third side wall or the fourth side wall along the third direction. During the process of inserting the insert frame splitting device into the insert frame, the sliding connection relationship between the plate body and the third side wall and / or the fourth side wall can provide a guiding effect for the insert frame splitting device. Therefore, it can effectively improve the insertion positioning accuracy and insertion speed of the insert frame splitting device.

[0005] The chassis splitting device provided in this application can split a chassis into at least two sub-chambers. Within the sub-chamber containing the board, because the board occupies a certain space in the height direction of the sub-chamber, the sub-chamber containing the board has a different height than the original chassis. Sub-chambers without a board can have the same height as the original chassis. In other words, the chassis splitting device can split a chassis into multiple sub-chambers with the same or different heights as the original chassis, achieving flexible changes in chassis configuration. Therefore, the chassis can be flexibly configured with pluggable units according to the functional requirements of the chassis, expanding the chassis's application scenarios.

[0006] In some embodiments, the partition includes a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other along a second direction. The first and second surfaces are each provided with two protrusions extending along a third direction. The two protrusions on the first surface slide against each other, and the two protrusions on the second surface form a slide rail. When a pluggable unit is installed within the sub-frame, the slide rail can guide the pluggable unit, thus improving the smoothness of insertion of the pluggable unit.

[0007] In some embodiments, the partition includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other along a third direction. The frame splitting device also includes a first fixing block disposed at the first end of the partition. The first fixing block includes a first guide surface and a second guide surface arranged along a second direction. The first and second guide surfaces are respectively inclined relative to the third direction and point from the first end of the partition to the second end of the partition. The distance between the first guide surface and the second guide surface gradually increases along the second direction. The inclined design of the first and second guide surfaces provides guidance for the initial insertion process of the pluggable unit, thus facilitating the rapid installation of the pluggable unit and reducing the risk of collision between the pluggable unit and the end of the first fixing block.

[0008] In some implementations, the first guide surface is provided with a first clearance groove, which provides clearance for pluggable units inserted into the sub-frame where the first guide surface is located. Similarly, the second guide surface is provided with a second clearance groove, which provides clearance for pluggable units inserted into the sub-frame where the second guide surface is located.

[0009] In some implementations, the frame splitting device further includes a second fixing block and a screw. The second fixing block is disposed at the second end of the partition, and the screw passes through the first fixing block, the partition and the second fixing block in sequence. The end of the screw is exposed on the side of the second fixing block facing away from the partition, so as to facilitate fixed connection with the chassis or the communication equipment in which the chassis is located, thereby fixing the frame splitting device in the chassis.

[0010] In some implementations, the frame splitting device further includes a spring clip disposed at one end of the partition or plate along a third direction. Specifically, the spring clip may be disposed at the end of the partition or plate near the chassis back panel; or, the spring clip may be disposed on the surface of the partition or plate facing the first side wall; or, the spring clip may be disposed on the surface of the partition or plate facing the second side wall. An in-place detection circuit is provided within the frame, which may be disposed on the chassis back panel, the first side wall, or the second side wall. The spring clip can be used to activate the in-place detection circuit of the frame after the frame splitting device is installed in place within the frame, to remind the user that the frame splitting device has been installed correctly.

[0011] In some embodiments, a guide portion is provided on at least one side of the plate along the second direction, the guide portion extending along the third direction, and the guide portion is used to slide in connection with the slide rail of the third side wall and / or the fourth side wall to improve the reliability of the sliding connection between the plate and the third side wall and / or the fourth side wall.

[0012] In some embodiments, the partition includes a third surface and a fourth surface disposed opposite to each other along a first direction. The panel is disposed within n sub-frames, and the panel is fixedly connected to either the third surface or the fourth surface of the n partitions. In this case, the frame splitting device can split the frame into n sub-frames with different heights than the original frame and one sub-frame with the same height as the original frame. Alternatively, the panel is disposed within n+1 sub-frames, and the panel is fixedly connected to either the third surface or the fourth surface of the n partitions. In this case, the frame splitting device can split the frame into n+1 sub-frames with different heights than the original frame.

[0013] In some implementations, a bend is provided at the end of the panel near the back panel of the chassis, and the angle α between the bend and the side surface of the panel facing the partition satisfies: 90°<α<180°. Based on this design, when the insert frame splitting device is inserted into the insert frame, the bevel design of the side surface of the bend facing away from the partition can reduce the risk of interference between the panel and the first or second side wall.

[0014] In some embodiments, the partition includes a third surface and a fourth surface disposed opposite to each other along a first direction. The panel includes n+1 sub-panels, each of which is disposed within n+1 sub-frames, wherein two sub-panels are respectively used for sliding connection with the third sidewall and the fourth sidewall. Each partition's third and fourth surfaces are connected to two different sub-panels; in this case, the frame splitting device can split the frame into n+1 sub-frames with different heights than the original frame.

[0015] In some embodiments, the partition includes a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other along a second direction. The panel includes n+1 sub-panels, each of which is disposed within n+1 sub-frames, wherein two sub-panels are respectively used for sliding connection with a third sidewall and a fourth sidewall. Each partition's first and second surfaces are connected to two different sub-panels; in this case, the frame splitting device can also split the frame into n+1 sub-frames with different heights than the original frame.

[0016] Secondly, this application also provides a chassis, which includes a chassis body and a frame splitting device as described in any of the embodiments of the first aspect. The chassis body includes multiple frames, and at least one frame is provided with a frame splitting device to split the corresponding frame into multiple sub-frames. The split frames can be configured with different pluggable units than the original frames, which provides feasibility for the chassis to meet the functional requirements of more scenarios.

[0017] Thirdly, this application also provides a chassis, which includes a housing, and the housing includes a plurality of insert frames. Each insert frame includes a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall, and a fourth side wall. The first side wall and the second side wall are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, and the third side wall and the fourth side wall are arranged opposite to each other. The first side wall, the third side wall, the second side wall, and the fourth side wall are sequentially connected to form an insert frame extending along a third direction. At least one insert frame is provided with a first insert frame splitting device, the first insert frame splitting device includes a first plate and a first partition, the first partition can divide the insert frame into two first sub-insert frames arranged along a second direction, the first plate is disposed in the two first sub-insert frames, and the first plate is slidably connected to the third side wall and the fourth side wall respectively along a third direction; at least one first sub-insert frame is provided with a second insert frame splitting device, the second insert frame splitting device includes a second plate and a second partition, the second partition can divide the first sub-insert frame into two second sub-insert frames arranged along a second direction, the second plate is disposed in the two second sub-insert frames, and one side of the second plate is slidably connected to the third side wall or the fourth side wall along a third direction, and the other side of the second plate is slidably connected to the first partition.

[0018] In this application, a first and second frame splitting device can be used to split a frame into three or more sub-frames. Since the first plate occupies a certain space in the height direction of the frame, the first sub-frame has a different height than the original frame. Similarly, the second plate occupies a certain space in the height direction of the first sub-frame, thus the second sub-frame has a different height from both the first sub-frame and the original frame. Therefore, the first and second frame splitting devices can split a frame into multiple sub-frames with relatively small heights and widths, achieving flexible changes in frame configuration. Thus, the frames can be flexibly configured with pluggable units according to the functional requirements of the chassis, expanding the chassis's application scenarios.

[0019] Fourthly, this application also provides a communication device, which includes a housing and a chassis provided in the second and / or third aspects above. The chassis is disposed within the housing to provide protection for the chassis. This communication device can utilize the chassis to achieve communication functions. Since the chassis can be flexibly configured with pluggable units by installing a frame splitting device, the communication functions of this communication device are also expanded.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The same reference numerals in the figures denote the same or similar structures, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. The terms expressing position and direction described in the embodiments of this application are illustrative based on the accompanying drawings, but changes can be made as needed, and all such changes are included within the scope of protection of this application. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application are only for illustrating relative positional relationships and do not represent actual scale.

[0055] It should be noted that specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate understanding of this application. However, the embodiments of this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0056] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a communication device provided in an embodiment of this application. (Reference) Figure 1As shown in the embodiments of this application, the communication device 100 can be a switch, router, server, fiber optic transceiver, fiber optic network card, or base station, etc. The communication device 1000 includes a housing 100 and one or more chassis 200 disposed within the housing 100. The communication device 1000 can utilize one or more chassis 200 to implement communication functions. Additionally, although not shown in the figures, the communication device 1000 may also include a power supply, a heat dissipation device, etc. The power supply can provide power to the various electrical components in the communication device 1000, and the heat dissipation device can be used to cool the communication device 1000 to ensure reliable operation.

[0057] Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of a chassis 200 provided for an embodiment of this application. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the chassis 200 includes a housing 210, a backplate 220, and multiple pluggable units 230. Multiple insertion frames 211 are disposed within the housing 210, arranged sequentially along the height direction of the housing 210. The pluggable units 230 are inserted into the insertion frames 211 from one side along the depth direction, while the backplate 220 is disposed on the other side along the depth direction of each insertion frame 211. The backplate 220 is electrically connected to the pluggable units 230. Based on the arrangement of the insertion frames 211 within the housing, each pluggable unit 230 is inserted into the housing 210 in a horizontal insertion manner (i.e., the thickness direction of the pluggable unit is consistent with the height direction of the chassis). Therefore, this type of chassis 210 can also be called a horizontal insertion chassis, and correspondingly, the insertion frames 211 in the horizontal insertion chassis can be called horizontal insertion frames.

[0058] In its specific implementation, the housing 210 includes a first side panel 210a, a second side panel 210b, a third side panel 210c, a fourth side panel 210d, and multiple partitions 210e. The first side panel 210a and the second side panel 210b are arranged opposite each other along a first direction, and the third side panel 210c and the fourth side panel 210d are arranged opposite each other along a second direction. The first side panel 210a, the third side panel 210c, the second side panel 210b, and the fourth side panel 210d are sequentially connected to enclose and form the interior of the housing. The first direction can be the height direction of the housing 210, and the second direction can be the width direction of the housing 210. Multiple partitions 210e are spaced apart along the first direction inside the housing 210, thereby dividing the interior of the housing into multiple insert frames 211.

[0059] In one example, a connector is provided at one end of the pluggable unit 230 near the back plate 220. Correspondingly, the back plate 220 is provided with a matching connector that mates with the connector. When the pluggable unit 230 is inserted into the insert frame 211, the electrical connection between the pluggable unit 230 and the back plate 220 can be achieved through the mating of the connector and the matching connector.

[0060] In one example, the pluggable unit 230 is a single board. The pluggable unit 230 includes a chip and an optical module. The optical module has an optical interface that can transmit and receive optical signals. The optical module can be used to receive electrical signals transmitted by the chip, convert the electrical signals into optical signals, and output them through the optical interface. The optical module is also used to receive optical signals input by the optical interface, convert the optical signals into electrical signals, and send them to the chip. In this way, the pluggable unit 230 can communicate with external devices through the optical module.

[0061] When the chassis 200 is working, the pluggable unit 230 can receive external optical signals through the optical module, convert the optical signals into electrical signals and send them to the chip for processing. The chip transmits the processed signals to the backplane 220 through the connector of the pluggable unit, and then the backplane 220 transmits them to other pluggable units 230. After being processed by the chips on the other pluggable units 230, the signals are converted into optical signals by their optical modules and output to the outside, thereby enabling the communication device 1000 to realize network switching or network processing functions.

[0062] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another chassis 200 provided in an embodiment of this application. (See reference...) Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the chassis 200 also includes a housing 210, a backplate 220, and multiple pluggable units 230, and... Figure 2 Unlike the illustrated embodiment, the chassis 200 in this embodiment is a vertical insertion chassis, and the insertion frames 211 in the chassis 200 are also vertical insertion frames. Specifically, the multiple insertion frames 211 of the chassis 210 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the chassis 210. Each pluggable unit 230 is inserted into the chassis 210 by vertical insertion (i.e., the thickness direction of the pluggable unit 230 is consistent with the width direction of the chassis 200) from one side of the insertion frame 211 along the depth direction. The back plate 220 is disposed on the other side of each insertion frame 211 along the depth direction, and the back plate 220 is electrically connected to the pluggable unit 230.

[0063] Similarly, the housing 210 includes a first side panel 210a, a second side panel 210b, a third side panel 210c, a fourth side panel 210d, and multiple partitions 210e. The first side panel 210a and the second side panel 210b are arranged opposite each other along a first direction, and the third side panel 210c and the fourth side panel 210d are arranged opposite each other along a second direction. The first side panel 210a, the third side panel 210c, the second side panel 210b, and the fourth side panel 210d are sequentially connected to enclose and form the interior of the housing. The first direction can be the width direction of the housing 210, and the second direction can be the height direction of the housing 210. Multiple partitions 210e are spaced apart along the first direction inside the housing 210, thereby dividing the interior of the housing into multiple insert frames 211.

[0064] In addition, the electrical connection method between the backplate 220 and the pluggable unit 230, the structure of the pluggable unit 230, and the working process of the chassis 200 in this embodiment can all be referred to the description in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0065] In practical applications, the chassis 200 can be configured with different types of pluggable units 230 for different usage scenarios to achieve matching functions. As those skilled in the art know, the dimensions of different types of pluggable units 230 are not entirely the same, and the dimensions of the internal frame 211 are often difficult to change once determined. This leads to some pluggable units 230 having mismatches with the frame 211, thus limiting the application of these pluggable units 230 in the chassis 200, and consequently making it difficult for the chassis 200 to meet the functional requirements of some usage scenarios.

[0066] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a frame splitting device 300. This device 300 can split a frame 211 into two or more sub-frames 211, and the split sub-frames 211 can have different heights than the original frame 211. Therefore, the split frame 211 can accommodate more types of pluggable units, allowing the chassis to meet the functional requirements of more scenarios without redesigning the chassis. The frame splitting device 300 provided in this application and its application in the frame 211 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] Figure 4 This is a simplified structural diagram of a frame 211 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 The following diagram uses the horizontal insertion frame 211 as an example. Figure 5 For application Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the insert frame splitting device 300 for insert frame 211 is shown below. (See also: [link to diagram]) Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in this embodiment, the insert frame 211 includes a first sidewall 211a, a second sidewall 211b, a third sidewall 211c, and a fourth sidewall 211d. The first sidewall 211a and the second sidewall 211b are arranged opposite each other along a first direction, and the third sidewall 211c and the fourth sidewall 211d are arranged opposite each other along a second direction. The first sidewall 211a, the third sidewall 211c, the second sidewall 211b, and the fourth sidewall 211d are sequentially connected to form the insert frame 211. For the horizontal insert frame 211, the first direction is the height direction of the insert frame 211, and the second direction is the width direction of the insert frame 211.

[0068] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen from the description of the structure of the housing 210, the first side wall 211a of the insert frame 211 can be formed by the inner wall of the first side plate 210a or partition 210e of the housing 210, the second side wall 211b of the insert frame 211 can be formed by the inner wall of the second side plate 210b-second side plate or partition 210e of the housing 210, the third side wall 211c of the insert frame 211 can be formed by the inner wall of the third side plate 210c of the housing 210, and the fourth side wall 211d of the insert frame 211 can be formed by the inner wall of the fourth side plate 210d of the housing 210.

[0069] The frame splitting device 300 includes a plate 310 and n partitions 320, with the plate 310 and the n partitions 320 respectively connected, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. The depth direction of the frame 211 is defined as the third direction. The n partitions 320 are arranged at intervals along the second direction within the frame 211, and each partition 320 extends along the third direction. Therefore, the n partitions 320 can divide the frame 211 into n+1 sub-frames 211 arranged along the second direction. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Taking n=1 as an example, the frame splitting device 300 can split the frame 211 into two sub-frames 2111. The plate 310 is disposed in at least one sub-frame 2111 near the third side wall 211c or near the fourth side wall 211d, and the plate 310 can be slidably connected to at least one of the third side wall 211c or the fourth side wall 211d along a third direction. During the process of inserting the frame splitting device 300 into the frame 211, the sliding connection between the plate 310 and the third side wall 211c and / or the fourth side wall 211d can provide guidance for the frame splitting device 300, thus effectively improving the insertion positioning accuracy and insertion speed of the frame splitting device 300.

[0070] Using the aforementioned frame splitting device 300, the frame 211 can be split into at least two sub-frames 2111. Within the sub-frame 2111 containing the plate 310, since the plate 310 occupies a certain amount of space in its height direction, the sub-frame 2111 containing the plate 310 has a different height than the original frame 211. Sub-frames 2111 without the plate 310 can have the same height as the original frame 211. In other words, the frame splitting device 300 can split the frame 211 into multiple sub-frames 2111 with the same or different heights from the original frame 211, achieving flexible changes in the frame 211's form. Therefore, the frame 211 can be flexibly configured with pluggable units according to the functional requirements of the chassis, expanding the chassis's application scenarios.

[0071] Figure 6 and Figure 7 for Figure 5 Exploded views of the frame splitting device 300 shown below from different perspectives. (See also...) Figures 4 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the partition 320 can be a single strip structure or a strip structure formed by splicing multiple panels; this application does not impose any limitation on this. The partition 320 includes a first surface 320a and a second surface 320b, which are arranged opposite to each other along a second direction. The first surface 320a and the second surface 320b are each provided with two protrusions 321 extending along a third direction, and the two protrusions 321 of the first surface 320a and the two protrusions 321 of the second surface 320b are spaced apart along a first direction. Thus, a slide 322 can be formed between the two protrusions 321 of the first surface 320a, and a slide 322 can also be formed between the two protrusions 321 of the second surface 320b.

[0072] The third sidewall 211c and the fourth sidewall 211d are respectively provided with chassis slides 2112 extending along the third direction. The chassis slide of the third sidewall 211c and the slide 322 formed by the first surface 320a are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction. The chassis slide 2112 of the fourth sidewall 211d and the slide 322 formed by the second surface 320b are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction. When the pluggable unit is installed in the sub-frame 2111, the pluggable unit can be inserted with the slides on both sides of the sub-frame 2111 as a guide to improve the smoothness of the pluggable unit insertion.

[0073] In this embodiment, the partition 320 further includes a third surface 320c and a fourth surface 320d disposed opposite to each other along a first direction. The plate 310 can be fixedly connected to the third surface 320c or the fourth surface 320d of the partition 320. In this case, the plate 310 can be a single unit, and the plate 310 can be disposed within two sub-frames 2111, so that the two sub-frames 2111 split by the frame splitting device 300 have different heights than the original frame 211. For example... Figure 5 The diagram shows a case where the plate 310 is fixedly connected to the third surface 320c of the partition 320 when the partition 320 is a single partition.

[0074] For example, the plate 310 and the third surface 320c of the partition 320 can be fixedly connected by fasteners. In a specific implementation, the third surface 320c of the partition 320 is provided with two extensions 323. One extension 323 extends in a second direction away from the third surface 320c, and the other extension 323 extends in a second direction away from the fourth surface 320d. The two extensions 323 are approximately parallel to the plate 310. The two extensions 323 are each provided with a plurality of first openings. Correspondingly, the plate 310 is provided with a plurality of second openings opposite to the first openings of the two extensions 323. Fasteners can be used to fix the partition 320 and the plate 310 through the first and second openings.

[0075] The partition 320 includes a first end 320e and a second end 320f arranged opposite each other along a third direction. The plate 310 also includes a first end 310a and a second end 310b along a third direction. When the insert frame splitting device 300 is inserted into the insert frame 211, the second end 320f of the partition 320 enters the insert frame 211 before the first end 320e of the partition 320, and the second end 310b of the plate 310 enters the insert frame 211 before the first end of the plate 310. It can also be understood that the second end 320f of the partition 320 is the end of the partition 320 that is close to the back panel of the chassis, and the second end 310b of the plate 310 is the end of the plate 310 that is close to the back panel of the chassis. The first end 310a of the plate 310 can be flush with or slightly extend beyond the first end 320e of the partition 320, and the second end 310b of the plate 310 can be flush with or slightly extend beyond the second end 320f of the partition 320.

[0076] The second end 310b of the plate 310 is provided with a bent portion 311. The bent portion 311 is inclined relative to the side of the plate 310 facing the partition 320. The included angle α between the bent portion 311 and the side surface of the plate 310 facing the partition 320 satisfies: 90°<α<180°. Based on this design, when the insert frame splitting device 300 is inserted into the insert frame 211, the inclined surface design of the side surface of the bent portion 311 facing away from the partition 320 can reduce the risk of interference between the panel and the first side wall 211a. Furthermore, the inclined surface of the bent portion can also slide and cooperate with the end of the first side wall 211a, providing a certain guiding effect for the smooth insertion of the insert frame splitting device 300 into the insert frame 211.

[0077] In addition, at least one side of the plate 310 along the second direction is provided with a guide portion 312, and at least one of the third side wall 211c and the fourth side wall 211d is provided with a slide rail 2113. The guide portion 312 of the plate 310 is slidably connected to the corresponding slide rail 2113. For example, when the plate 310 is disposed within two sub-frames 2111, guide portions 312 may be provided on both sides of the plate 310 along the second direction. Correspondingly, slide rails 2113 may be provided on the third side wall 211c and the fourth side wall 211d, and the guide portions 312 on both sides of the plate 310 may be slidably connected to the slide rails 2113 of the third side wall 211c and the fourth side wall 211d, respectively.

[0078] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 4 to 7 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the frame splitting device 300 further includes a first fixing block 330, which is disposed at the first end of the partition 320. The first fixing block 330 includes a first guide surface 331 and a second guide surface 332, which are arranged along a second direction. The first guide surface 331 and the second guide surface 332 are respectively inclined relative to a third direction, and the angle between the first guide surface 331 and the first surface 320a of the partition 320 is greater than 180°, and the angle between the second guide surface 332 and the second surface 320b of the partition 320 is greater than 180°. It can also be understood that, along the direction from the first end 320e of the partition 320 to the second end 320f of the partition 320, the distance between the first guide surface 331 and the second guide surface 332 along the second direction gradually increases.

[0079] For the sub-frame 2111 between partition 320 and the third sidewall 211c, the inclined design of the first guide surface 331 increases the width of the entrance of the sub-frame 2111 to a certain extent. Furthermore, the first guide surface 331 provides guidance for the initial insertion of the pluggable unit, thus facilitating rapid installation and reducing the risk of end collision between the pluggable unit and the first fixing block 330. Similarly, for the sub-frame 2111 between partition 320 and the second sidewall 211b, the inclined design of the second guide surface 332 also facilitates rapid installation of the pluggable unit and reduces the risk of end collision between the pluggable unit and the first fixing block 330.

[0080] In some embodiments, to accommodate the structural design of the pluggable unit, the first guide surface 331 may be provided with a first clearance groove 3311. The first clearance groove 3311 can provide clearance for the pluggable unit inserted into the sub-frame 2111 between the partition 320 and the third sidewall 211c. That is, a portion of the pluggable unit within the sub-frame 2111 is located within the first clearance groove 3311. Furthermore, the portion of the pluggable unit located within the first clearance groove 3311 can be detachably connected to the first fixing block 330 via fasteners to improve the installation reliability and ease of assembly / disassembly of the pluggable unit within the sub-frame 2111.

[0081] Similarly, the second guide surface 332 may be provided with a second clearance groove 3321, which provides clearance for the pluggable unit inserted into the sub-frame 2111 between the partition 320 and the fourth side wall 211d. The portion of the pluggable unit located in the second clearance groove 3321 can be detachably connected to the first fixing block 330 by fasteners to improve the installation reliability and ease of disassembly of the pluggable unit in the sub-frame 2111.

[0082] Continue to refer to Figures 4 to 7 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the frame splitting device 300 further includes a second fixing block 340 and a screw 350. The second fixing block 340 is disposed at the second end 320f of the partition 320. The first fixing block 340, the partition 320, and the second fixing block 340 are respectively provided with mounting holes, and the mounting holes of the three overlap in the third direction. The screw 350 passes through the mounting holes of the first fixing block 340, the partition 320, and the second fixing block 340 in sequence, and the end of the screw 350 is exposed on the side of the second fixing block 340 facing away from the partition 320, so as to facilitate threaded connection with the chassis or the structural components in the communication equipment in which the chassis is located, thereby fixing the frame splitting device 300 in the chassis.

[0083] In one implementation, the frame splitting device 300 includes two screws 350, which are fixedly connected to the chassis to improve the installation reliability of the frame splitting device 300 in the chassis.

[0084] Figures 8a-8d for Figure 4 Several side sectional views of the insert frame 211 shown at section line AA are included. See also... Figures 8a to 8d As shown in the embodiment of this application, the frame splitting device 300 further includes a spring piece 360. The spring piece 360 ​​may be disposed at one end of the frame splitting device 300 near the back plate 220, or disposed on one side surface of the frame splitting device 300 facing the first side wall 211a, or disposed on one side surface of the frame splitting device 300 facing the second side wall 211b. The insertion frame 211 is equipped with an in-place detection circuit, which can be located on the back plate, the first side wall 211a, or the second side wall 211b. When the insertion frame splitting device 300 is not installed in the insertion frame 211, the in-place detection circuit is in an open state. After the insertion frame splitting device 300 is inserted into the insertion frame 211, if the in-place detection circuit is turned on by the spring contact 360, it means that the insertion frame splitting device 300 has been installed in place. If the in-place detection circuit is still in an open state, it means that the insertion frame splitting device 300 has not been installed in place, and the user is reminded to readjust the position of the insertion frame splitting device 300 until the spring contact 360 can turn on the in-place detection circuit.

[0085] In one implementation, the presence detection circuit includes a membrane switch that can be pressed to activate the presence detection circuit. Thus, after the frame splitting device 300 is installed in place, the spring 360 can elastically press against the membrane switch, causing the membrane switch to activate the presence detection circuit.

[0086] refer to Figure 8a As shown, in one embodiment, the spring piece 360 ​​can be disposed at the second end 320f of the partition 320, and the in-place detection circuit is disposed on the back plate. After the insert frame splitting device 300 is installed in place, the spring piece 360 ​​can press against the back plate 220, thereby activating the in-place detection circuit. It is worth mentioning that when a second fixing block is provided at the second end 320f of the partition 320, the spring piece 360 ​​can be disposed on the side of the second fixing block facing away from the partition 320. In addition, when a bending portion is provided at the second end of the plate body 310, the end of the spring piece 360 ​​facing away from the partition 320 extends beyond the bending portion to ensure the reliability of the contact between the spring piece 360 ​​and the back plate.

[0087] refer to Figure 8bAs shown, in one embodiment, the spring piece 360 ​​can be disposed at the second end 310b of the plate 310, and the in-place detection circuit is disposed on the back plate 220. After the insert frame splitting device 300 is installed in place, the spring piece 360 ​​can press against the back plate 220, thereby turning on the in-place detection circuit. When a bending portion is provided at the second end of the plate 310, the spring piece 360 ​​can be disposed at the bending portion, for example, at the inclined surface of the bending portion, to ensure the reliability of the contact between the spring piece 360 ​​and the back plate.

[0088] refer to Figure 8c As shown, in one embodiment, the spring piece 360 ​​can be disposed on the side surface of the plate 310 facing the first side wall 211a, and the in-place detection circuit is disposed on the first side wall 211a. After the insert frame splitting device 300 is installed in place, the spring piece 360 ​​can press against the first side wall 211a to turn on the in-place detection circuit.

[0089] refer to Figure 8d As shown, in one embodiment, the spring piece 360 ​​can be disposed on the side surface of the partition 320 facing the second side wall 211b, and the in-place detection circuit is disposed on the second side wall 211b. After the insert frame splitting device 300 is installed in place, the spring piece 360 ​​can press against the second side wall 211b to turn on the in-place detection circuit.

[0090] Figure 9 This is a simplified structural diagram of another insert frame 211 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 The diagram illustrates the installation structure of the insert frame splitting device 300 within a horizontal insert frame, using n=2 as an example. (Reference) Figure 9 As shown in this embodiment, the plate 310 is fixedly connected to the third surface 320c of n partitions 320, and the plate 310 is disposed in n+1 sub-frames 2111, wherein each of the n+1 sub-frames 2111 has a different height than the original frame 211. In this case, the plate 310 is slidably connected to the third sidewall 211c and the fourth sidewall 211d on both sides along the second direction, respectively. In addition, by reasonably designing the fixed connection position between the partitions 320 and the plate 310, the width of each sub-frame 2111 along the second direction can be the same or different, thereby matching various types of pluggable units and enabling the chassis to meet the functional requirements of specific scenarios.

The n sub-frames 2111 have different heights than the original frame 211, while one sub-frame 2111 has the same height as the original frame 211. For example, if the plate 310 is disposed in one of the n sub-frames 2111 near the third sidewall 211c, the plate 310 can be slidably connected to the third sidewall 211c, and one sub-frame 2111 near the fourth sidewall 211d has the same height as the original frame 211. Furthermore, by rationally designing the width of the plate 310 along the second direction and the fixed connection position between the partitions 320 and the plate 310, the widths of each sub-frame 2111 along the second direction can be the same or different, thereby accommodating various types of pluggable units and enabling the chassis to meet the functional requirements of specific scenarios.

The connection method between the plate 310 and the fourth surface 320d of the partitions 320 can be designed with reference to the connection method between the plate 310 and the third surface of the partitions 320 described above, and will not be repeated here.

Figure 12 The diagram illustrates the installation structure of the insert frame splitting device 300 within a horizontal insert frame, using n=1 as an example. (Reference) Figure 12 As shown in this embodiment, the plate 310 is fixedly connected to the fourth surface 320d of the n partitions 320, and the plate 310 is disposed in the n sub-frames 2111 to obtain n sub-frames 2111 with different heights than the original frames 211 and one sub-frame 2111 with the same height as the original frames 211. The connection method between the plate 310 and the fourth surface 320d of the partitions 320 can be designed with reference to the connection method between the plate 310 and the third surface of the partitions 320, and will not be repeated here.

[0094] in addition, Figure 11 and Figure 12The embodiment shown can also be designed by reasonably designing the width of the board 310 along the second direction and the fixed connection position between the partition 320 and the board 310, so that the width of each sub-frame 2111 along the second direction is the same or different, so as to match various types of pluggable units and make the chassis meet the functional requirements of specific scenarios.

Figure 13a and Figure 13b The diagram illustrates the installation structure of the insert frame splitting device 300 within a horizontal insert frame, using n=1 as an example. (Reference) Figure 13a and Figure 13b As shown in this embodiment, the plate 310 includes n+1 sub-plates 313, which are respectively disposed within n+1 sub-frames 2111 to obtain n+1 sub-frames 2111 with different heights from the original frames 211. One sub-plate 313 located near the third sidewall 211c can be slidably connected to the third sidewall 211c, and another sub-plate 313 located near the fourth sidewall 211d can be slidably connected to the fourth sidewall 211d. The third surface 320c and the fourth surface 320d of each partition 320 can be connected to two different sub-plates 313, for example, in... Figure 13a In the illustrated embodiment, the third surface 320c of the partition 320 is fixedly connected to the left sub-plate 313, and the fourth surface 320d of the partition 320 is fixedly connected to the right sub-plate 313; Figure 13b In the embodiment shown, the third surface 320c of the partition 320 is fixedly connected to the right sub-plate 313, and the fourth surface 320d of the partition 320 is fixedly connected to the left sub-plate 313.

[0096] Figure 14a and Figure 14b These are schematic diagrams illustrating the structures of two other insert frames 211 provided in embodiments of this application. Figure 14a and Figure 14b The diagram illustrates the installation structure of the insert frame splitting device 300 within a horizontal insert frame, using n=1 as an example. (Reference) Figure 14a and Figure 14b As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the plate 310 includes n+1 sub-plates 313, which are respectively disposed within n+1 sub-frames 2111 to obtain n+1 sub-frames 2111 with different heights from the original frames 211. One sub-plate 313 disposed near the third sidewall 211c can be slidably connected to the third sidewall 211c, and another sub-plate 313 disposed near the fourth sidewall 211d can be slidably connected to the fourth sidewall 211d. The first surface 320a and the second surface 320b of each partition 320 are respectively connected to two different sub-plates 313, for example, in... Figure 14a In the illustrated embodiment, the first surface 320a of the partition 320 is fixedly connected to the left sub-plate 313, and the second surface 320b of the partition 320 is fixedly connected to the right sub-plate 313; Figure 14b In the illustrated embodiment, the first surface 320a of the partition 320 is fixedly connected to the right sub-plate 313, and the second surface 320b of the partition 320 is fixedly connected to the left sub-plate 313.

[0097] In this embodiment, the first surface 320a and the second surface 320b of the partition 320 are respectively provided with support portions 314. The support portion 314 of the first surface 320a extends along a second direction away from the second surface 320b, and the support portion 314 of the second surface 320b extends along the second direction away from the first surface 320a. A sub-plate 313 fixedly connected to the first surface 320a can overlap the support portion 314 of the first surface 320a and be fixedly connected to the support portion 314 of the first surface 320a by fasteners; a sub-plate 313 fixedly connected to the second surface 320b can overlap the support portion 314 of the second surface 320b and be fixedly connected to the support portion 314 of the second surface 320b by fasteners.

[0098] Furthermore, when the sub-plate 313 is fixedly connected to the first surface 320a of the partition 320, the sub-plate 313 may be located on the side of the slide 322 of the first surface 320a that is close to the third surface 320c, or on the side of the slide 322 of the first surface 320a that is close to the fourth surface 320d, so as to avoid affecting the installation of the pluggable unit in the slide 322 of the first surface 320a; similarly, when the sub-plate 313 is fixedly connected to the second surface 320b of the partition 320, the sub-plate 313 may be located on the side of the slide 322 of the second surface 320b that is close to the third surface 320c, or on the side of the slide 322 of the second surface that is close to the fourth surface 320d, so as to avoid affecting the installation of the pluggable unit in the slide of the second surface 320b.

Figure 19 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the insert frame 211 includes a first sidewall 211a, a second sidewall 211b, a third sidewall 211c, and a fourth sidewall 211d. The first sidewall 211a and the second sidewall 211b are arranged opposite each other along a first direction, and the third sidewall 211c and the fourth sidewall 211d are arranged opposite each other along a second direction. The first sidewall 211a, the third sidewall 211c, the second sidewall 211b, and the fourth sidewall 211d are sequentially connected to form the insert frame 211.

[0108] The insert frame 211 is provided with a first insert frame splitting device 400, which includes a first plate 410 and a first partition 420. The first partition 420 can divide the insert frame 211 into two first sub-insert frames 2114 arranged along a second direction. The first plate 410 is disposed in the two first sub-insert frames 2114, and the first plate 410 is slidably connected to the third side wall 211c and the fourth side wall 211d along the third direction, respectively. At least one first sub-insert frame 2114 is provided with a first... The second frame splitting device 500 includes a second plate 510 and a second partition 520. The second partition 520 can divide the first sub-frame 2114 into two second sub-frames 2115 arranged along a second direction. The second plate 510 is disposed in the two second sub-frames 2114, and one side of the second plate 510 is slidably connected to the third side wall 211c or the fourth side wall 211d along a third direction. The other side of the second plate 510 is slidably connected to the first partition 420.

[0109] In one example, if one of the two first sub-frames 2114 is provided with a second sub-frame splitting device 500, then frame 211 is split into one first sub-frame 2114 and two second sub-frames 2115. Frame 211 can utilize these three sub-frames to install three relatively small pluggable units. In another example, if each of the two first sub-frames 2114 is provided with a second sub-frame splitting device 500, then frame 211 is split into four second sub-frames 2115. Frame 211 can utilize these four sub-frames to install four relatively small pluggable units.

[0110] In the aforementioned insert frame 211, the first insert frame splitting device 400 and the second insert frame splitting device 500 can split the insert frame 211 into three or more sub-insert frames. Since the first plate 410 occupies a certain space in the height direction of the insert frame 211, the first sub-insert frame 2114 has a different height than the original insert frame 211. Similarly, the second plate 510 occupies a certain space in the height direction of the first sub-insert frame 2114, so the second sub-insert frame 2115 has a different height from both the first sub-insert frame 2114 and the original insert frame 211. Therefore, the first insert frame splitting device 400 and the second insert frame splitting device 500 can split the insert frame 211 into multiple sub-insert frames with relatively small heights and widths, achieving flexible changes in the form of the insert frame 211. Thus, the insert frame 211 can be flexibly configured with pluggable units according to the functional requirements of the chassis, expanding the application scenarios of the chassis.

[0111] In this embodiment, the structure of the first partition 420 and the first plate 410 of the first insert frame splitting device 400 can be designed with reference to the foregoing embodiments, and the structure of the second partition 520 and the second plate 510 of the second insert frame splitting device 500 can also be designed with reference to the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0112] in addition, Figure 19 The illustrated embodiment uses a horizontal insert frame as an example, but it should be understood that the above splitting method is not limited to horizontal insert frames, but also applies to vertical insert frames.

[0113] Figure 20 Comparison images of the chassis provided in this application embodiment before and after the application of the frame splitting device. (See reference) Figure 20 As shown, in the multiple slots of the chassis, at least one slot can be fitted with the slot splitting device provided in any of the aforementioned embodiments. The figure shows the installation of the device in two slots. Figure 5 In one embodiment of the shown, the insert frame splitting device 300 splits the original insert frame into two sub-insert frames with reduced height and width. Therefore, the split insert frames can be configured with different pluggable units than the original insert frame, providing feasibility for the chassis to meet the functional requirements of more scenarios.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
