[0032] In order to be able to understand the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the following technical description, for the convenience of explanation, a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments is provided through multiple details. However, one or more embodiments can still be implemented without these details. In other cases, to simplify the drawings, well-known structures and devices can be simplified for display.

[0033] At present, with the continuous increase of TV functions, users' storage requirements for TVs are also increasing. However, traditional TV motherboards have certain limitations in storage and cannot meet user needs. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new TV motherboard design to expand the storage space of the TV and improve the data transmission speed.

[0034] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a TV mainboard with an interface, such as an external M.2 interface on the TV mainboard, and an external solid-state hard drive is connected through the M.2 interface to expand the storage space of the TV and increase the data transmission speed.

[0035] The M.2 interface is a small interface on a computer motherboard that is used to connect storage devices such as solid-state drives. The full name of the M.2 interface is "Next Generation Form Factor" (NGFF). In Chinese, the M.2 interface is usually directly referred to as the "M.2 interface", and is sometimes also referred to as the "M.2 slot" or "M.2 solid-state drive interface."

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1 The TV mainboard of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Figure 1 As shown, the TV mainboard provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a central processor 01, a protocol conversion main control chip 02, a first interface 03 and a USB HUB module 04; wherein the central processor 01 is connected to the protocol conversion main control chip 02 and the USB HUB module 08, and an external device is connected through the USB HUB module 08; the protocol conversion main control chip 02 is also connected to the first interface 03, and an external solid-state hard disk is connected through the first interface 03.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the first interface 03 includes any one of an M.2 interface, a U.2 interface, and a SATA interface. When the first interface 03 is an M.2 interface, a first port supporting a first transmission protocol is provided on the protocol conversion main control chip, and the first transmission protocol includes any one of a non-volatile memory protocol NVMe and a high-speed serial computer expansion bus protocol (PCI-Express, peripheral component interconnect express).

[0038] When the first interface 03 is a SATA interface, the protocol conversion main control chip is provided with a first port supporting a second transmission protocol, and the second transmission protocol includes an Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) protocol.

[0039] When the first interface 03 is a U.2 interface, a first port supporting a third transmission protocol is provided on the protocol conversion main control chip, and the third transmission protocol includes a non-volatile memory protocol. Among them, the U.2 interface, whose full English name is "Universal Serial Bus 2", is an interface standard for solid-state hard drives. It is designed to support the NVMe standard protocol and uses the PCI-E3.0x4 channel, with a theoretical transmission speed of up to 32Gbps, which is 5 times faster than the SATA interface. It is a two-in-one interface style that can support both SAS and PCIe signals. While keeping the positions of the original 4 sets of differential signal lines for the transmission of the 2 SAS Ports of SFF-8482 unchanged, more pins are added to the original blank space to carry the 8 sets of differential signal lines required for the 4 PCIe Lanes.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, the protocol conversion main control chip is connected to the first interface 03 through the first port.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the central processor 01 is provided with a second interface supporting a fourth transmission protocol, and the fourth transmission protocol includes a universal serial bus protocol; the central processor 01 is connected to the second port of the protocol conversion main control chip 02 through the second interface.

[0042] In an exemplary scenario, the second interface connecting the central processor 01 and the protocol conversion main control chip 02 can be a data interface, and an external protocol conversion main control chip 02 is connected through the data interface of the central processor 01. Data is transmitted between the central processor 01 and the protocol conversion main control chip 02 via the USB protocol, and data is transmitted between the protocol conversion main control chip 02 and the M.2 interface via the NVMe protocol.

[0043] In an exemplary scenario, the TV mainboard provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a central processor 01, which generally does not support the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express) protocol. Therefore, the central processor 01 is connected to the protocol conversion main control chip 02, and the protocol conversion main control chip 02 is connected to the first interface 03. The protocol conversion main control chip 02 can convert the NVMe protocol transmitted by the first interface 03 into a USB (Universal Serial Bus) protocol.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the central processor 01 is provided with a third interface supporting a fourth transmission protocol; the central processor is connected to the USB HUB module via the third interface. The fourth transmission protocol includes a universal serial bus protocol.

[0045] In an exemplary scenario, there are three USB interfaces on the TV mainboard, two of which are used to connect external devices such as a mouse and a keyboard, and the other is used to connect modules such as WIFI. In the embodiment of the present application, since the protocol conversion main control chip occupies one USB interface, a USB HUB module can be used to expand the USB interface on the TV mainboard to multiple USB interfaces, thereby avoiding the problem of insufficient USB interfaces due to the connection of the protocol conversion main control chip.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the TV mainboard provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes: a video playback module 05, and the video playback module 05 is connected to the central processor via a high-definition multimedia interface.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, it also includes: a communication module 06, which is connected to the central processor via a WIFI interface.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, it also includes: a power supply 04 connected to the central processor.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, it also includes: a microphone 07 connected to the central processor.

[0050] The TV mainboard provided in the embodiment of the present application may also include other functional modules, which are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. The specific models of the central processor 01 and the protocol conversion main control chip 02 provided in the embodiment of the present application are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0051] In a second aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a television set, including the television mainboard provided by the embodiment of the present application. The television set formed by the television mainboard with an M.2 interface can greatly expand the storage space of the television set to meet the user's increasingly high storage needs.

[0052] The TV mainboard provided in the embodiment of the present application can be connected to a storage device such as a solid-state hard disk by setting an external M.2 interface. This greatly expands the storage space. Compared with peripherals such as USB external USB flash drives, the storage solution provided by the present application has a larger capacity and faster transmission. In addition, the central processor provided in the embodiment of the present application can be connected to a USB HUB module to expand the USB interface on the TV mainboard to multiple ones, avoiding the problem of insufficient USB interfaces due to the connection protocol conversion main control chip. This greatly increases the storage space of the TV and improves the data transmission speed.

[0053] The above are only preferred specific implementations of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
