[0041] The folding handle assembly 100 provided in the embodiments of this application is applicable to a variety of devices. In particular, the folding handle assembly 100 is applicable to communication devices. This application takes a frame-type server as an example of a communication device for illustration.

[0042] The following Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 are used to illustrate the folding handle assembly 100 provided in this application.

[0043] The folding handle assembly 100 includes a folding assembly 10 and a locking assembly 20.

[0044] The folding assembly 10 includes a first swing arm 11, a second swing arm 12, and a hinge 13. Both the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 are adapted to be swingably connected to the rack 200. The hinge 13 is connected between the free ends of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12. The first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 can swing towards each other until the folding assembly 10 is received inside the rack 200, and the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 can swing away from each other until the folding assembly 10 is deployed outside the rack 200.

[0045] Specifically, the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the z direction in the figure. One end of the first swing arm 11 is rotatably connected to the rack 200, and the other end of the first swing arm 11 can swing around the connection point between the first swing arm 11 and the rack 200 to form the free end of the first swing arm 11. One end of the second swing arm 12 is rotatably connected to the rack 200, and the other end of the second swing arm 12 can swing around the connection point between the second swing arm 12 and the rack 200 to form the free end of the second swing arm 12. The connection point between the first swing arm 11 and the rack 200 is located inside the contour of the rack 200, the connection point between the second swing arm 12 and the rack 200 is located inside the contour of the rack 200, and the rotation axis of the first swing arm 11 is parallel to the rotation axis of the second swing arm 12.

[0046] One end of the hinge 13 is rotatably connected to the free end of the first swing arm 11, and the other end of the hinge 13 is rotatably connected to the free end of the second swing arm 12. The rotation axis of the hinge 13 relative to the first swing arm 11 and the rotation axis of the hinge 13 relative to the second swing arm 12 are both parallel to the rotation axis of the first swing arm 11 or the second swing arm 12.

[0047] The folding assembly 10 has a folded state and an unfolded state. In the folded state, the first swing arm 11, the second swing arm 12, and the hinge 13 all move to the inner side of the contour of the frame 200. The first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 can swing towards each other so that the free ends of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 approach each other until the free ends of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 both move between the connection of the first swing arm 11 and the frame 200 and the connection of the second swing arm 12 and the frame 200, making the folding assembly 10 in the folded state as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 the figure.

[0048] In the unfolded state, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 the figure, the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 swing away from each other, that is, the free ends of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 both move to the outer side of the contour of the frame 200, and the distance between the free ends of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 gradually increases, so that the hinge 13 moves to the outer side of the contour of the frame 200, so that the operator can pull the frame 200 by applying force to the side of the hinge 13 facing the frame 200.

[0049] It should be noted that the frame 200 is a fixed component relative to the folding assembly 10 for installing the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12. When the folding handle assembly 100 provided in this application is applied to a chassis-type server, the chassis of some chassis-type servers forms the frame 10 described in this application, so that the folding handle assembly 100 can be installed on the chassis of the chassis-type server.

[0050] The locking assembly 20 is provided on the frame 200. The locking assembly 20 can be clamped to at least one of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 when the folding assembly 10 is received inside the frame 200 to lock the folding assembly 10.

[0051] Specifically, the locking assembly 20 is fixed to the frame 200. The first swing arm 11 is provided with a first slot 111, and the second swing arm 12 is provided with a second slot 121. When the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 swing away from each other, the distance between any point on the first swing arm 11 and any point on the second swing arm 12 increases. The locking assembly 20 is clamped in the first slot 111 and the second slot 121 to block the swinging of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 or block the separation of the free ends of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12, so as to block the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 from swinging away from each other, thereby locking the folding assembly 10 in the folded state and making the folding handle assembly 100 provided in this application continuously maintain the folded state.

[0052] The beneficial effects of the folding handle assembly 100 provided by the present application are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the folding handle assembly 100 provided by the present application can swing the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 to accommodate the folding assembly 10 inside the outer contour line of the frame 200. The folding handle assembly 100 provided by the present application fixes the folding assembly 10 inside the outer contour line of the frame 200 through the locking assembly 20, enabling the folding handle assembly 100 provided by the present application to be continuously folded inside the frame 200, which has the advantage of being convenient for folding and storage, and reducing the influence of the folding handle assembly 100 on the outer contour of the frame 200.

[0053] The folding handle assembly 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application can be used in communication devices such as chassis servers. Since the folding handle assembly 100 can be conveniently folded, it solves the technical problems that the server handle affects the plugging and unplugging of the server external ports and affects the user operation experience.

[0054] In some embodiments provided by the present application, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 8 shown, a first elastic member 31 is connected between the first swing arm 11 and the frame 200, and a second elastic member 32 is connected between the second swing arm 12 and the frame 200. The first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 are adapted to undergo elastic deformation when the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 swing towards each other.

[0055] Optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 8 shown, the first elastic member 31 is a torsion spring, the second elastic member 32 is a torsion spring. A first groove 113 is provided on the side of the first swing arm 11 facing the frame 200, and a second groove 2001 is provided on the frame 200. Both the first groove 113 and the second groove 2001 extend radially along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11. One end of the first elastic member 31 is assembled into the first groove 113, and the other end of the first elastic member 31 is assembled into the second groove 2001. As Figure 2 shown, a third groove 123 is provided on the side of the second swing arm 12 facing the frame 200, and a fourth groove 2002 is provided on the frame 200. Both the third groove 123 and the fourth groove 2002 extend radially along the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12. One end of the second elastic member 32 is assembled into the third groove 123, and the other end of the first elastic member 31 is assembled into the fourth groove 2002.

[0056] Thus, during the process of the folding assembly 10 moving from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 are twisted to store elastic potential energy, so as to drive the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 to swing to the unfolded state after the locking assembly 20 unlocks the first swing arm 11 or the second swing arm 12.

[0057] In some other embodiments provided by the present application, the first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 are compression springs (not shown in the figures). One end of the first elastic member 31 is connected to the first swing arm 11, and the other end of the first elastic member 31 is connected to the frame 200. One end of the second elastic member 32 is connected to the second swing arm 12, and the other end of the second elastic member 32 is connected to the frame 200. During the process of the folding assembly 10 moving from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 are compressed to store elastic potential energy, so as to drive the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 to swing to the unfolded state after the locking assembly 20 unlocks the first swing arm 11 or the second swing arm 12.

[0058] In some embodiments provided by the present application, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, the locking assembly 20 includes a first buckle 21 and a second buckle 22. The first buckle 21 is provided with a first pin 211, and the first swing arm 11 is provided with a first slot 111. The first pin 211 can be fitted into the first slot 111 to make the first buckle 21 and the first swing arm 11 engage with each other.

[0059] The second buckle 22 is provided with a second pin 221, and the second swing arm 12 is provided with a second slot 121. The second pin 221 can be fitted into the second slot 121 to make the second buckle 22 and the second swing arm 12 engage with each other.

[0060] Specifically, the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the z direction in the figure, and the first buckle 21 and the first swing arm 11 are correspondingly arranged, and the second buckle 22 and the second swing arm 12 are correspondingly arranged. The first buckle 21 is located on one side of the first swing arm 11 along the x direction in the figure. The first buckle 21 is provided with a first pin 211 in the direction towards the first swing arm 11. The first pin 211 protrudes towards the first swing arm 11 along the x direction in the figure. The first slot 111 is provided on one side of the first swing arm 11 towards the first buckle 21. During the process of the folding assembly 10 being adjusted from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first pin 211 enters the first slot 111 from the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11 and abuts against the inner wall of the first slot 111, thereby preventing the first swing arm 11 from swinging from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0061] The second buckle 22 is located on one side of the second swing arm 12 along the x direction in the figure. The second buckle 22 is provided with a second pin 221 in the direction towards the second swing arm 12. The second pin 221 protrudes towards the second swing arm 12 along the x direction in the figure. The second slot 121 is provided on one side of the second swing arm 12 towards the second buckle 22. During the process of the folding assembly 10 being adjusted from the unfolded state to the folded state, the second pin 221 enters the second slot 121 from the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12 and abuts against the inner wall of the second slot 121, thereby preventing the second swing arm 12 from swinging from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0062] In some embodiments provided by the present application, as Figure 5 shown, the first card slot 111 includes a first guiding section 1112 and a first clamping section 1111. The first guiding section 1112 is connected between the slot opening of the first card slot 111 and the first clamping section 1111. A part of the first clamping section 1111 extends radially along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11, and the first guiding section 1112 extends along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11;

[0063] Specifically, the slot opening of the first card slot 111 is provided at one end in the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11, so that when the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 swing towards each other, the first pin 211 can enter the first card slot 111 from the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11. The first guiding section 1112 extends along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11, so that the first pin 211 can slide along the groove wall of the first guiding section 1112 into the first clamping section 1111. The first clamping section 1111 extends radially along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11, so that the groove walls of the first clamping section 1111 are arranged oppositely along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11. After the first pin 211 enters the first clamping section 1111, the groove wall of the first clamping section 1111 abuts against the first pin 211 along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11, and the bottom of the first card slot 111 abuts against the first pin 211 radially from the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11, thereby limiting the first pin 211 in the first card slot 111.

[0064] Thus, during the process of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 swinging towards each other, the first swing arm 11 swings towards the first buckle 21, so that the first pin 211 on the first buckle 21 enters the first guiding section 1112 of the first card slot 111 and enters the first clamping section 1111 of the first card slot 111 under the guidance of the first guiding section 1112. After the first pin 211 enters the first clamping section 1111, it is fixed in the first clamping section 1111, which can make the first buckle 21 be clamped with the first swing arm 11 to lock the first swing arm 11. Thus, by swinging the first swing arm 11 within the contour of the frame 200, the locking of the first swing arm 11 can be realized, making the folding handle assembly 100 provided by the present application have the advantage of being convenient for folding.

[0065] The second card slot 121 includes a second guiding section 1212 and a second clamping section 1211. The second guiding section 1212 is connected between the slot opening of the second card slot 121 and the second clamping section 1211. A part of the second clamping section 1211 extends radially along the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12, and the second guiding section 1212 extends along the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12.

[0066] The notch of the second card slot 121 is provided at one end in the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12, so that when the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 swing towards each other, the second pin 221 can enter the second card slot 121 from the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12. The second guiding section 1212 extends along the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12, so that the second pin 221 can slide along the groove wall of the second guiding section 1212 into the second clamping section 1211. The second clamping section 1211 extends radially in the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12, so that the groove walls of the second clamping section 1211 are arranged oppositely along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11. After the second pin 221 enters the second clamping section 1211, the groove walls of the second clamping section 1211 abut against the second pin 221 along the swinging direction of the second pin 221 on the second swing arm 12, and the bottom of the second card slot 121 abuts against the second pin 221 radially from the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12, thereby limiting the second pin 221 in the second card slot 121.

[0067] Thus, during the process of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 swinging towards each other, the second swing arm 12 swings towards the second buckle 22, so that the second pin 221 on the second buckle 22 enters the second guiding section 1212 of the second card slot 121 and enters the second clamping section 1211 of the second card slot 121 under the guidance of the second guiding section 1212. After the second pin 221 enters the second clamping section 1211 and is fixed therein, the second buckle 22 can be clamped with the second swing arm 12 to lock the second swing arm 12. Thus, by swinging the second swing arm 12 within the contour of the frame 200, the locking of the second swing arm 12 can be realized, making the folding handle assembly 100 provided in the present application have the advantage of being easy to fold.

[0068] In some embodiments provided by the present application, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, one end of the first buckle 21 is connected to the frame 200, one end of the second buckle 22 is connected to the frame 200, the first buckle 21 can be elastically bent towards the second buckle 22 to disengage the first pin 211 from the first card slot 111, and the second buckle 22 can be elastically bent towards the second buckle 22 to disengage the second pin 221 from the second card slot 121.

[0069] Specifically, the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 are made of elastic materials such as plastic. Thus, during the process of the first pin 211 sliding along the first guiding section 1112 into the first clamping section 1111, the first buckle 21 can be bent to allow the first pin 211 to move in the first card slot 111. During the process of the second pin 221 sliding along the second guiding section 1212 into the second clamping section 1211, the second buckle 22 can be bent to allow the second pin 221 to move in the second card slot 121.

[0070] The first latching section 1111 of the first card slot 111 is located on the side of the free end of the first guiding section 1112 away from the first swing arm 11, and the second latching section 1211 of the second card slot 121 is located on the side of the free end of the second guiding section 1212 away from the second swing arm 12. Thus, when the first latch pin 211 and the second latch pin 221 approach each other, the first latch pin 211 can be disengaged from the first card slot 111 and the second latch pin 221 can be disengaged from the second card slot 121. Part of the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 extends outside the contour of the frame 200. By toggling the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 with one hand, the first latch pin 211 and the second latch pin 221 can be moved towards each other.

[0071] Therefore, the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 can be elastically bent. When the locking assembly 20 locks the folding assembly 10 in the folded state, by toggling the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22, the first buckle 21 can be disengaged from the first swing arm 11 and the second buckle 22 can be disengaged from the second swing arm 12. Thus, the first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 can release elastic potential energy to drive the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 to swing away from each other to adjust the folding assembly 10 to the unfolded state.

[0072] In some embodiments provided by the present application, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the extending direction of the first buckle 21 has an included angle with the orthogonal direction of the spacing direction of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12, and the extending direction of the second buckle 22 has an included angle with the orthogonal direction of the spacing direction of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12.

[0073] Specifically, the y direction shown in the figure is the spacing direction of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12, and the z direction shown in the figure is the orthogonal direction of the spacing direction of the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12. And it can be understood that the z direction shown in the figure is the direction in which the folding handle assembly 100 provided by the present application extends into the frame 200.

[0074] The extending direction of the first buckle 41 has an included angle with both the y direction and the z direction shown in the figure to reduce the dimension of the first buckle 41 in the z direction shown in the figure while ensuring the length dimension of the first buckle 41. The extending direction of the second buckle 42 has an included angle with both the y direction and the z direction shown in the figure to reduce the dimension of the second buckle 42 in the z direction shown in the figure while ensuring the length dimension of the second buckle 42.

[0075] Thus, by setting the extending directions of the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 at an angle with the z direction in the figure, while reducing the size of the folding handle assembly 100 provided in the present application in the z direction in the figure, the lengths of the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 are increased. While ensuring that the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 have a relatively low strength when being toggled towards each other for easy toggling, the size of the folding handle assembly 100 provided in the present application in the z direction in the figure is reduced, that is, when the folding handle assembly 100 provided in the present application is applied to a chassis-type server, the volume occupied by the folding handle assembly 100 in the pluggable module 300 is shortened.

[0076] In some embodiments provided by the present application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown in the figure, the first buckle 21 is provided on one side of the frame 200 along the x direction in the figure, the first swing arm 11 is provided on the other side of the frame 200 along the x direction in the figure, a first arc-shaped through groove 2003 is provided on the frame 200, and the first latch 211 penetrates through the first arc-shaped through groove 2003 and extends to the side of the frame 200 facing the first swing arm 11. The second buckle 22 is provided on one side of the frame 200 along the x direction in the figure, the second swing arm 12 is provided on the other side of the frame 200 along the x direction in the figure, a second arc-shaped through groove 2004 is provided on the frame 200, and the second latch 221 penetrates through the second arc-shaped through groove 2004 and extends to the side of the frame 200 facing the second swing arm 12.

[0077] Thus, on the one hand, through the first arc-shaped through groove 2003 and the second arc-shaped through groove 2004, when toggling the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 to unlock the folding assembly 10, the first latch 211 slides along the first arc-shaped through groove 2003 so that the first latch 211 disengages from the first card slot 111, and the second latch 221 slides along the second arc-shaped through groove 2004 so that the second latch 221 disengages from the second card slot 121. The first arc-shaped through groove 2003 guides the first latch 211, and the second arc-shaped through groove 2004 guides the second latch 2004, so as to reduce the friction between the first latch 211 and the inner wall of the first card slot 111 and reduce the friction between the second latch and the inner wall of the second card slot 121, facilitating the unlocking of the folding assembly. On the other hand, when toggling the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 to unlock the folding assembly 10, the first latch 211 can abut against one end of the first arc-shaped through groove 2003 facing the second arc-shaped through groove 2004 for limiting, and the second latch 221 can abut against one end of the second arc-shaped through groove 2004 facing the first arc-shaped through groove 2003 for limiting. When the first latch 211 is fitted into the first latching section 1111, the first latch 211 can abut against the other end of the first arc-shaped through groove 2003, and the second latch 221 can abut against the other end of the second arc-shaped through groove 2004, thereby respectively limiting the first latch 211 and the second latch 221 through the first arc-shaped through groove 2003 and the second arc-shaped through groove 2004 to prevent elastic failure of the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22.

[0078] In some embodiments provided by the present application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the hinge 13 includes a first section 131 and a second section 132. One end of the first section 131 is rotatably connected to the free end of the first swing arm 11, one end of the second section 132 is rotatably connected to the free end of the second swing arm 12, and the other end of the first section 131 is rotatably connected to the other end of the second section 132.

[0079] Specifically, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the first section 131 and the second section 132 are symmetrically arranged about the z direction in the figure. The first section 131 is rotatably connected to both the first swing arm 11 and the second section 132, and the second section 132 is also rotatably connected to the second swing arm 12. Thus, the first swing arm 11, the first section 131, the second section 132, and the second swing arm 12 form a planar multi-link double rocker mechanism.

[0080] Thus, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the unfolded state, the hinge 13 is pulled by the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 so that both the first section 131 and the second section 132 extend along the y direction in the figure to form a handle in the unfolded state; as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the folded state, there is an angle between the extending direction of the first section 131 and the extending direction of the second section 132, so as to reduce the length dimension of the hinge 13 in the y direction in the figure, so that both the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 can be received inside the contour of the frame 200.

[0081] In some embodiments provided by the present application, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the first swing arm 11 is provided with a first flange 114, the first section 131 is provided with a second flange 1311, the first flange 114 can abut against the first section 131 when the folding assembly 10 is unfolded to the outside of the frame 200, and the second flange 1311 can abut against the first swing arm 11 when the folding assembly 10 is unfolded to the outside of the frame 200;

[0082] Specifically, the first flange 114 is provided at the connection between the first swing arm 11 and the first section 131, and the first flange 114 protrudes along the x direction in the figure, so that when the folding assembly 10 is in the unfolded state, the circumferential side where the first section 131 rotates relative to the first swing arm 11 can abut against the first flange 114. The second flange 1311 is provided at the connection between the first section 131 and the first swing arm 11. When the folding assembly 10 is in the unfolded state, one end of the first swing arm 11 in the swinging direction abuts against the second flange 1311, thereby restricting the swinging stroke of the first section 131 relative to the first swing arm 11, and further making the first section 131 extend along the y direction in the figure when the first swing arm 11 swings to the unfolded state.

[0083] The second swing arm 12 is provided with a third flange 124, the second section 132 is provided with a fourth flange 1321, the third flange 124 can abut against the second section 132 when the folding assembly 10 is unfolded to the outside of the frame 200, and the fourth flange 1321 can abut against the second swing arm 12 when the folding assembly 10 is unfolded to the outside of the frame 200.

[0084] Specifically, the third flange 124 is provided at the connection between the second swing arm 12 and the second section 132, and the third flange 124 protrudes along the x direction in the figure, so that when the folding assembly 10 is in the unfolded state, the circumferential side where the second section 132 rotates relative to the second swing arm 12 can abut against the third flange 124. The fourth flange 1321 is provided at the connection between the second section 132 and the second swing arm 12. When the folding assembly 10 is in the unfolded state, one end of the second swing arm 12 in the swinging direction abuts against the fourth flange 1321, thereby restricting the swinging stroke of the second section 132 relative to the second swing arm 12, and further making the second section 132 extend along the y direction in the figure when the second swing arm 12 swings to the unfolded state.

[0085] Thus, by providing the first flange 114, the second flange 1311, the third flange 124, and the fourth flange 1321, when the folding assembly 10 is in the deployed state and the first section 131 and the second section 132 are subjected to tensile forces, the folding assembly 10 can maintain a high rigidity, facilitating the operator to exert force when using the hidden handle provided in this application.

[0086] The following describes the pluggable component provided in this application in conjunction with Figure 6 and Figure 7 .

[0087] This application provides a pluggable component. The communication device includes a folding handle assembly 100 and a pluggable module 300. The folding handle assembly 100 is the folding handle assembly 100 according to any one of the above embodiments, and part of the pluggable module 300 forms the rack 200 according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0088] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the pluggable component provided in this application can be applied to a chassis-type server. The pluggable module 300 can be a chassis. The folding handle assembly 100 is provided on the side wall of the pluggable module 300 along the x direction in the figure. The folding assembly 10 is a sheet-like structure and the folding assembly 10 is arranged parallel to the side wall of the pluggable module 300. Moreover, the folding handle assembly 100 can be deployed to the port end of the pluggable module 300 in the deployed state. As shown in Figure 7 , the folding handle assembly 100 can be deployed for the operator to pull out the pluggable module 300 when it is necessary to pull out the pluggable module 300 from the communication device. As shown in Figure 6 , the folding handle assembly 100 is folded to the inside of the contour of the pluggable module 300 to reduce the influence of the folding handle assembly 100 on the port wiring.

[0089] The beneficial effect of the pluggable component provided in this application is that: compared with the prior art, the pluggable module 300 of the pluggable component provided in this application is provided with the folding handle assembly 100 provided in this application. The pluggable module 300 can be pulled out for plugging and unplugging through the folding handle assembly 100, and the folding handle assembly 100 can be folded to the inside of the contour of the pluggable module 300 to reduce the influence on the plugging and unplugging of the wiring harness on the surface of the pluggable module 300. Thus, the pluggable component provided in this application has the advantage of facilitating wiring.

[0090] The following describes the communication device provided in this application in conjunction with Figure 6 and Figure 7 .

[0091] The communication device provided by this application includes a pluggable component and a chassis (not shown in the figure). The pluggable component is the pluggable component described in the above embodiment. The pluggable module 300 of the pluggable component can be slidably assembled in the chassis along the z direction in the figure. A plurality of pluggable components are provided in the chassis in a pluggable manner, and the folding handle assembly 100 of the pluggable component is provided at one end of the pluggable module 300 of the pluggable component along the z direction in the figure.

[0092] The beneficial effect of the communication device provided by this application is that: compared with the prior art, the pluggable component of the communication device provided by this application is provided with the folding handle assembly 100 provided by this application. The pluggable component can be pulled out of the chassis through the folding handle assembly 100 to maintain the pluggable module 300 of the pluggable component. Moreover, the folding handle 100 can be folded to the inside of the contour of the pluggable module 300 of the pluggable component to reduce the impact on the insertion and extraction of the wiring harness on the surface of the pluggable module 300. Therefore, the communication device provided by this application has the advantages of being convenient for wiring and maintenance, and improves the user experience.

[0093] In some embodiments provided by this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the chassis is provided with a first limit block 4001 and a second limit block 4002. The first swing arm 11 of the folding handle assembly 100 is provided with a first limit groove 112, and the second swing arm 12 of the folding handle assembly 100 is provided with a second limit groove 122. The first limit block 4001 can be fitted into the first limit groove 112 when the pluggable component is inserted into the chassis, and the second limit block 4002 can be fitted into the second limit groove 122 when the pluggable component is inserted into the chassis.

[0094] Specifically, a first limit groove 112 is provided at the connection between the first swing arm 11 and the rack 200, and at least part of the first limit block 4001 can extend into the first limit groove 112 to limit the first swing arm 11 after the pluggable component is inserted into the chassis. A second limit groove 122 is provided at the connection between the second swing arm 12 and the rack 200, and at least part of the second limit block 4002 extends into the second limit groove 122 to limit the second swing arm 12 after the pluggable component is inserted into the chassis.

[0095] Thus, when the pluggable component is inserted into the chassis and the folding handle assembly 100 is in a folded state, the first limit block 4001 is fitted into the first limit groove 112, and the second limit block 4002 is fitted into the second limit groove 122, thereby limiting the pluggable component and preventing the pluggable component from falling off after being inserted into the chassis.

[0096] In some embodiments provided by this application, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a first limiting block 4001 and a second limiting block 4002 are provided on the chassis; the first swing arm 11 of the folding handle assembly 100 includes a first abutting portion 1121 and a second abutting portion 1122. The first abutting portion 1121 and the second abutting portion 1122 are arranged at intervals along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11. It should be noted that the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11 is as Figure 4 shown by the a direction in Figure 4 . The first abutting portion 1121 and the second abutting portion 1122 are arranged at intervals along the a direction in the figure. The first limiting block 4001 can abut against the first abutting portion 1121 when the first swing arm 11 swings towards the second swing arm 12 to drive the pluggable component to be inserted into the chassis, and the first limiting block 4001 can abut against the second abutting portion 1122 when the first swing arm 11 swings away from the second swing arm 12 to drive the pluggable component to be pulled out of the chassis.

[0097] Specifically, the first limiting groove 112 has two groove walls arranged oppositely along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11. Among the two groove walls arranged oppositely along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11, the one far from the contour of the frame 200 forms the first abutting portion 1121, and the other of the two groove walls arranged oppositely along the swinging direction of the first swing arm 11 forms the second abutting portion 1122.

[0098] Thus, when the first limiting block 4001 is fitted into the first limiting groove 112, the first abutting portion 1121 is located on the side of the first limiting block 4001 facing the pulling-out direction of the pluggable component, and the second abutting portion 1122 is located on the side of the first limiting block 4001 facing the inserting direction of the pluggable component.

[0099] When the first swing arm 11 swings towards the second swing arm 12, the first abutting portion 1121 abuts against the first limiting block 4001, and the reaction force of the first limiting block 4001 on the first abutting portion 1121 extends along the inserting direction of the pluggable module, so as to drive the pluggable component to be inserted into the chassis through the reaction force of the first limiting block 4001 on the first abutting portion 1121.

[0100] When the first swing arm 11 swings away from the second swing arm 12, the second abutting portion 1222 abuts against the first limiting block 4001, and the reaction force of the first limiting block 4001 on the second abutting portion 1122 extends along the plugging and unplugging direction of the pluggable module, so as to drive the pluggable module to be pulled out of the chassis through the reaction force of the first limiting block 4001 on the second abutting portion 1122.

[0101] The second swing arm 12 of the folding handle assembly 100 includes a third abutting portion 1221 and a fourth abutting portion 1222. The third abutting portion 1221 and the fourth abutting portion 1222 are arranged at intervals along the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12. It should be noted that the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12 is as Figure 4As shown in the direction of b in the figure, the third abutting portion 1221 and the fourth abutting portion 1222 are arranged at intervals along the direction of b in the figure. The second limiting block 4002 can abut against the third abutting portion 1221 when the pluggable component is inserted into the chassis to drive the second swing arm 12 to swing towards the first swing arm 11. The second limiting block 4002 can abut against the fourth abutting portion 1222 when the pluggable component is pulled out of the chassis to drive the second swing arm 12 to swing away from the first swing arm 11.

[0102] Specifically, the second limiting groove 122 has two groove walls arranged oppositely along the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12. Among the two groove walls arranged oppositely along the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12, the one far from the contour of the chassis 200 forms the third abutting portion 1221, and the other of the two groove walls arranged oppositely along the swinging direction of the second swing arm 12 forms the fourth abutting portion 1222.

[0103] Thus, when the second limiting block 4002 is fitted into the second limiting groove 122, the third abutting portion 1221 is located on one side of the second limiting block 4002 towards the pulling-out direction of the pluggable component, and the fourth abutting portion 1222 is located on one side of the second limiting block 4002 towards the inserting direction of the pluggable component.

[0104] When the second swing arm 12 swings towards the first swing arm 11, the third abutting portion 1221 abuts against the second limiting block 4002, and the reaction force of the second limiting block 4002 on the third abutting portion 1221 extends along the inserting direction of the pluggable module, so as to drive the pluggable component to be inserted into the chassis through the reaction force of the second limiting block 4002 on the third abutting portion 1221.

[0105] When the second swing arm 12 swings away from the first swing arm 11, the fourth abutting portion 1222 abuts against the second limiting block 4002, and the reaction force of the second limiting block 4002 on the fourth abutting portion 1222 extends along the plugging and unplugging direction of the pluggable module, so as to drive the pluggable module to be pulled out of the chassis through the reaction force of the second limiting block 4002 on the fourth abutting portion 1222.

[0106] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
