Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of network switches, and in particular relates to a multi-protocol compatible network switch. Background Art

[0002] A network switch is a device that expands a network, providing more ports within a subnet to connect more computers. It boasts high cost-performance, high flexibility, relative simplicity, and ease of implementation. However, the ports on a network switch are typically not fully plugged in. When the switch is in use, unplugged ports often collect dust, contaminating the interfaces.

[0003] For example, a multi-gateway network switch provided by Chinese patent announcement number CN214799525U includes a chassis, a machine box and a connection box. An opening is provided on the front of the chassis. Two machine boxes are provided and installed on the right side inside the chassis. The connection box is connected to the left side inside the chassis. A side panel is hinged on the left side of the chassis. The connection box is a structure that is connected front and back. An opening is provided on the left side of the connection box. The side panel is used to close the opening on the left side of the connection box. Several rubber pads are connected to the inside of the connection box. Several through holes are provided in the front of the rubber pads that pass through to the back of the rubber pads. Several sockets are provided on the front of the machine box. The through holes are used to organize cables. A dust cover is hinged on the upper end of the front of the chassis. The dust cover corresponds to the opening on the front of the chassis. The device uses the dust cover to cover the sockets to prevent dust.

[0004] However, in the prior art described in the above device, one dust cover corresponds to multiple sockets. When a socket is inserted with a plug for connection, the entire dust cover needs to be opened, causing other sockets that are not connected with plugs to be exposed at the same time, making the dust cover lose its dust-proof effect on other sockets. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-protocol compatible network switch, which can achieve dustproof effect for each network interface, avoid the sockets that are not connected to the plug from being exposed at the same time, and better play a dustproof role for the network sockets.

[0006] The technical solutions adopted in this application are as follows:

[0007] A multi-protocol compatible network switch includes a body shell, wherein the inner side of the body shell is provided with multiple groups of cavities for accommodating network modules, and the front end of each network module is provided with several network interfaces; the front end of each group of cavities is correspondingly provided with a group of dustproof sheets for shielding the network interfaces for dust prevention, and the material of the dustproof sheets is a flexible film material.

[0008] In a preferred solution, the rear end of the housing is provided with an opening for inserting the network module, and a rear end cover is plugged and connected to the opening of the housing.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a card strip is provided on the inner side wall of each group of hollow cavities, and card slots corresponding to the card strips are provided on both sides of each network module, and a card engagement structure is formed between the card slots and the card strips.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting strip is provided at the lower end of each group of dustproof sheets, sliders are installed at both ends of the connecting strip, and "T"-shaped slide rails are provided on both sides of the front end of each group of hollow bodies, and the sliders are slidably arranged in the slide rails.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, an L-shaped baffle is installed at the lower end of the connecting strip, and a sealing strip is provided at the lower end of the baffle, and the sealing strip is attached to the end face where the network interface is provided.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the dustproof sheet is connected to a pull strip, the lower end face of the pull strip is provided with a locking pin, and the upper end of the body shell is provided with multiple groups of locking holes, and the distance between each two groups of locking holes is equal to the distance between each two network interfaces of the network module.

[0013] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0014] In this utility, a set of dustproof sheets is provided for each group of network modules. By pulling up the dustproof sheets, the number of network interfaces that need to be plugged in on the network module is exposed, while the remaining network interfaces that do not need to be plugged in are covered with the dustproof sheets. The network interfaces that do not need to be plugged in are protected from dust by the dustproof sheets, so that the network interfaces that do not need to be plugged in and the network interfaces that need to be plugged in are not exposed at the same time and are difficult to cover and dustproof.

[0015] This practical dustproof sheet is made of a flexible film material, which can be easily bent according to the network interface that needs to be covered, so that the dustproof sheet can be attached to the end face of the network interface, thereby achieving the effect of shielding and dustproofing, and allowing the dustproof sheet to be better shaped.

[0027] In this embodiment, when using the network switch, first, according to the connection requirements, a network module 3 with a network interface 31 that matches the connection device is selected, and the network module 3 is inserted into the cavity 2 of the housing 1 for assembly. When connecting to the network, the dust cover 4 is pulled up to expose the network interfaces 31 corresponding to the number of plugs to be connected, and then the plugs are inserted into the network interfaces 31 to connect to the network. The other network interfaces 31 that do not require plugs are still covered by the dust cover 4 to achieve a dustproof effect.

[0028] The network switch has a variety of protocol interfaces, such as RJ45 interface, SC fiber optic interface, AUI interface, FDDI interface, etc. These interface types have their own characteristics and are suitable for different network environments and needs. This device is a network switch that can access multiple protocol interfaces. Therefore, this device makes different protocol interfaces into different network modules 3.

When the network module 3 is inserted into the cavity 2 , the card slot 32 in the network module 3 is inserted into the card strip 21 , so that the network module 3 is more stable after being inserted into the cavity 2 .

[0033] See also Figures 2 to 4As shown, a connecting strip 41 is provided at the lower end of each group of dustproof sheets 4, and sliders 42 are installed at both ends of the connecting strip 41. Both sides of the front end of each group of cavity bodies 2 are provided with slide rails 43 of a "T"-shaped structure. The sliders 42 are slidably arranged in the slide rails 43. An "L"-shaped baffle 411 is installed at the lower end of the connecting strip 41, and a sealing strip 412 is provided at the lower side end of the baffle 411.

The sliders 42 are clamped on the slide rail 43 of the "T" structure. When the dustproof sheet 4 is pulled, the slides 42 can be used to slide on the slide rail 43 to prevent the lower end of the dustproof sheet 4 from floating outward.

[0035] An L-shaped baffle 411 is provided at the lower end of the connecting strip 41 to block the gap between the connecting strip 41 and the network interface 31, preventing dust from falling into the network interface 31 through the gap. A sealing strip 412 is provided at the end of the baffle 411 that contacts the end surface of the network interface 31, which can better contact the end surface of the network interface 31 and perform a sealing function.

[0036] A pulling strip 44 is provided at the upper end of the dustproof sheet 4, which is pulled to move the dustproof sheet 4 up or down, and the latch 45 on the pulling strip 44 is inserted into the corresponding latch hole 46 for positioning according to the number of network interfaces 31 to be exposed, so as to prevent the dustproof sheet 4 from shifting.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: when the network switch is used, a network module 3 with a network interface 31 matching the connection device is first selected according to the connection requirements, and the network module 3 is inserted into the cavity 2 of the body shell 1 for assembly.
