Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switches, in particular to an access layer non-network management switch. Background Art

[0002] A switch is a network device used to forward electrical or optical signals. Its core function is to provide a dedicated electrical signal path between any two network nodes connected to the switch. Unmanaged switches, also known as point-and-click switches, lack network management capabilities. They primarily utilize a plug-and-play design to provide basic network connectivity and data forwarding services.

[0003] In the field of unmanaged switches, access-layer applications play a crucial role in network architecture, particularly in small network environments with low network management requirements and high device density. Requiring no complex configuration, simply plug in a network cable and you're good to go, making them ideal for smaller networks with minimal management requirements. Furthermore, unmanaged switches are more affordable than managed switches, helping to reduce network construction costs.

[0004] Based on this, patent document CN110048970A discloses an unmanaged security switch, comprising a switch body and a housing. The switch body is located within the metal housing, comprising a lower housing and an upper housing. Both are constructed as a folding plate. A network interface is provided on the front of the switch body, and a through hole for connecting a network cable is provided on the front side panel of the housing, corresponding to the network interface. The switch body includes a mainboard, which includes a signal anomaly detection module and a controller. The housing is equipped with a buzzer and an LED light module, both of which are connected to the controller. When the signal anomaly detection module detects an anomaly in data transmission, it will provide feedback to the controller. This unmanaged security switch can implement an anomaly alarm function, and the housing has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0005] However, the non-managed switches disclosed above still have the technical problem of being inconvenient to adjust during use. Specifically, in the existing technical solutions, access layer non-managed switches are mainly suitable for home networks, small offices, school classrooms and hotel rooms. For example, in a home network, it can be used to connect multiple home devices, such as computers, mobile phones, printers, etc., to meet basic network connection needs. In a small office, it can be used to connect office computers, printers, servers and other equipment to simplify the complexity of network configuration and management. In a school classroom, it can be used to connect teaching computers, projectors, printers and other equipment to meet the network connection needs of the teaching environment. It can be seen that the same access layer non-managed switch product that has been developed can be used in a variety of occasions to adapt to different application ranges, while the non-managed switches disclosed in the prior art usually have a single installation method. Once fixed, it is difficult for users to adjust the installation position; it is relatively inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 2 The access layer unmanaged switch of the present invention includes: a switch body 1, an input and output part 2, a positioning part 3, an adjustment and installation part 4 and an adapter seat structure 5; the input and output part 2 is set on one side of the switch body 1, and a plurality of positioning parts 3 are respectively set on the side of the switch body 1 on both sides of the input and output part 2. The two ends of the side of the switch body 1 where the positioning part 3 is set are each provided with an adjustment and installation part 4, and each adjustment and installation part 4 is movably connected to an adapter seat structure 5.

[0027] Specifically, in the technical solution disclosed in the access layer unmanaged switch of the present invention, the switch body 1 is a conventional unmanaged switch implementation, namely, it is internally provided with a circuit board (not shown) for supporting and connecting various components. The circuit board is electrically connected to the input / output unit 2, and the circuit board is provided with port modules, a switching chip, and a power module. Specifically, the port module can be designed with fixed ports, which are used to connect network devices such as computers, printers, or other switches. The port type is typically an RJ45 interface, supporting 10Base-T / 100Base-TX adaptive Ethernet connections. The switching chip is a core component of the unmanaged switch, responsible for high-speed data packet forwarding. Compared to managed switches, unmanaged switches generally use lower-cost switching chips, but are sufficient for small networks or simple network connections. Furthermore, the switch body 1 is typically equipped with a built-in power supply for powering the device; this design simplifies deployment and maintenance. More specifically, the switch body 1 can maintain a MAC address table to record the mapping between ports and MAC addresses. When the switch receives a data packet, it makes forwarding decisions based on the MAC address table to ensure fast and accurate transmission. Furthermore, its forwarding logic is relatively simple, primarily based on the MAC address. When the switch 1 receives a data packet, it first checks the MAC address table to determine if a matching entry exists. If so, it forwards the packet directly to the corresponding port. If not, it may broadcast the packet to all ports except the receiving port and update the MAC address table upon receiving a response.

[0028] Furthermore, when the aforementioned switch body 1 is deployed in an actual application field, the input and output portion 2 provided therein is used to connect to external cables, and the positioning portion 3 can facilitate the pre-pairing and positioning of the switch body at the external installation site, so that the switch body 1 is pre-positioned in a structure such as a clamp. Thereafter, the installer can adjust the relative position of the adapter seat structure 5 in the adjustment installation portion 4 so that the adapter seat structure 5 can be paired and installed in a variety of different locations. More specifically, a plurality of groups of adapter seat structures 5 are correspondingly provided around the periphery of the switch body 1, and each adapter seat structure 5 can be adjusted individually in the adjustment installation portion 4 so that the switch body 1 can be securely adapted, installed, and connected even in an uneven installation environment.

[0029] Furthermore, the positioning portions 3 are groove structures, which are arranged on two opposite sides of the switch body 1. Thus, external clamps or buckles can be slidably inserted into them in advance to pre-position the switch body 1.

[0030] Furthermore, the adjustment mounting portion 4 has an adjustment slot 401 and a plurality of adjustment connection portions 402; the adjustment slot 401 is provided on the side of the switch body 1, and a plurality of adjustment connection portions 402 are evenly distributed in the adjustment slot 401; every two adjustment connection portions 402 are adjacently provided to form an adjustment connection unit, and a plurality of adjustment connection units are evenly spaced in each adjustment slot 401. Specifically, the adjustment slot 401 is a groove structure, which is evenly provided on the periphery of the switch body 1 to facilitate guiding and connecting the adapter seat structure 5. More specifically, a plurality of adjustment connection portions 402 can be provided in pairs in each adjustment slot 401, and each pair of adjustment connection portions 402 can serve as an adjustment connection unit, and each adjustment connection portion 402 can serve as a threaded connection hole structure; thus, each pair of adjustment connection units can serve as a paired installation position of the adapter seat structure 5, and each paired installation position can adapt to the needs of different installation environments.

[0031] Furthermore, the adapter seat structure 5 comprises a corner connection seat 501, a first mounting hole 502, a second mounting hole 503, a fastening connector 504, and an adaptor adjustment seat 505. The corner connection seat 501 is movably connected to the adjustment slot 401. Several first mounting holes 502 are distributed on one side of the corner connection seat 501, and several second mounting holes 503 are distributed on the other side of the corner connection seat 501. Each first mounting hole 502 is correspondingly provided with a fastening connector 504, and each fastening connector 504 is movably connected to a corresponding adjustment connection portion 402. The adaptor adjustment seat 505 is movably disposed in the second mounting hole 503. Specifically, the corner adjustment seat 505 is a right-angled connection block structure, with a wedge-shaped connection surface provided on each side of the right-angle connection block to enhance its structural stability. Thus, by setting the first mounting hole 502 on one side of the corner adjustment seat 505, the fastening connection 504 and the adjustment connection part 402 can be matched and connected, and the second mounting hole 503 set on the other side can be used to set the adaptation adjustment seat 505, so that the adaptation adjustment seat 505 can adapt to installation environments with different positions and height requirements.

[0032] Furthermore, the adaptor and adjustment seat 505 includes a connecting seat body 505a and a telescopic adjustment foot 505b; the connecting seat body 505a is movably connected to the second mounting hole 503, and the telescopic adjustment foot 505b is movably connected to the bottom of the connecting seat body 505a. Specifically, when the adaptor and adjustment seat structure 5 is relatively fixed in the adjustment mounting portion 4 through the mating connection between the fastening connector 504 and the adjustment connection portion 402, if it is necessary to further adjust the degree of fit between the adaptor and the mounting surface, the telescopic adjustment foot 505b can be further extended or shortened from the connecting seat body 505a, thereby further leveling the adaptor and adjustment seat structure 5. More specifically, the telescopic adjustment foot 505b can be connected to the connecting seat body 505a by a threaded connection, thereby conveniently achieving an extension or shortening adjustment mode.

[0033] In summary, the access layer non-network-managed switch of the present invention is provided with a switch body 1, an input / output part 2, a positioning part 3, an adjustment and installation part 4, and an adapter seat structure 5; the input / output part 2 is provided on one side of the switch body 1, and a plurality of positioning parts 3 are provided on the side of the switch body 1 on both sides of the input / output part 2; an adjustment and installation part 4 is provided at each end of the side of the switch body 1 provided with the positioning part 3, and an adapter seat structure 5 is movably connected in each adjustment and installation part 4. Several groups of adapter seat structures 5 are provided correspondingly around the switch body 1, and each adapter seat structure 5 can be adjusted individually in the adjustment and installation part 4, so that the switch body 1 can be safely and conveniently adapted for installation and connection even in an uneven installation environment. Therefore, the access layer non-network-managed switch of the present invention solves the technical problem of how to improve the ease of use of non-network-managed switches.
