[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, provides an expansion interface, which includes a carrying unit 100, including a carrying body 101, a card slot 103 arranged inside the carrying body 101; an expansion unit 200, including an expansion component 201 arranged in the carrying body 101, a limit plate 202 arranged on the expansion component 201, a data interface 203 arranged on one side of the expansion component 201, a fixing portion 204 arranged in the expansion component 201, and a spring column 205 arranged on one side of the fixing portion 204. The expansion unit 200 is movably connected to the carrying body 101, and the expansion unit 200 is fixed inside it by the fixing portion 204, so that it is convenient for staff to repair and replace the expansion unit 200, which increases the comfort of use for staff.

[0037] Among them, the fixing part 204 includes a rotating column 204a arranged in the expansion component 201, a rotating plate 204b arranged on the outside of the rotating column 204a, a connecting plate 204d arranged on one side of the rotating plate 204b, and a pressing plate 204f arranged at one end of the connecting plate 204d. The outside of the rotating plate 204b is provided with a block 204c corresponding to the slot 103, and the pressing plate 204f is provided with a limiting plate 204e. The outside of the block 204c is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped block 204c reduces its friction with the inside of the carrier body 101, thereby facilitating the staff to remove and replace the expansion component 201 from the inside of the carrier body 101.

[0038] During use, if the expansion unit 200 in the carrier body 101 is damaged, the staff will first remove the cable interface inserted in the expansion unit 200, and then press the pressing plates 204f on both sides of the expansion component 201 with the thumb and index finger, and then the pressing plates 204f move toward the inside along the spring column 205, thereby driving the connecting plate 204d and the rotating plate 204b at one end to rotate along the rotating column 204a, so that the card block 204c is separated from the card slot 103, and then the staff will pull out the expansion component 201 from the carrier body 101, and then the staff will replace it. The expansion unit 200 is reinserted into the carrier body 101 along the groove. When the data interface 203 at one end of the expansion component 201 contacts the connecting plug 102, the clamping blocks 204c on both sides of the expansion component 201 are just located at the clamping groove 103, so that the clamping blocks 204c are clamped with the clamping groove 103, fixing the expansion component 201 inside the carrier body 101. At the same time, the spring column 205 provides elastic force to it, making it more stable and firm, thereby facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the expansion unit 200 by the staff and increasing the comfort of the staff.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it includes a protection unit 300, including a dustproof plate 301 arranged in the carrier body 101, and a hinge 303 arranged on the dustproof plate 301. A limit plate 202 is provided on the outer side of the extension component 201. The size of the dustproof plate 301 corresponds to the size of the limit plate 202. When the carrier unit 100 is not in use, the dustproof plate 301 isolates the interior from the outside, thereby preventing external dust from entering the interior and damaging the electronic equipment inside, resulting in a short circuit when the extension unit 200 is installed, thereby increasing the safety of the carrier body 101.

[0041] Compared with Example 1, further, a counterweight column 302 is provided inside the dustproof plate 301, and the dustproof plate 301 is counterweighted by the counterweight column 302, so that the dustproof plate 301 naturally drops due to gravity to block the entrance of the supporting body 101, preventing external dust and impurities from entering its interior.

[0042] During use, when the carrier body 101 is in use, the extension unit 200 is inserted into the interior of the carrier body 101 along the groove of the carrier body 101. At this time, one end of the extension component 201 will squeeze the dustproof plate 301, so that the dustproof plate 301 rotates along the hinge 303 at its top, so that the dustproof plate 301 fits against the top of the inner side of the carrier body 101, thereby not interfering with the installation of the extension component 201; when the carrier body 101 is not in use, the extension component 201 is slowly taken out from the carrier body 101. At this time, the dustproof plate 301 will rotate around the hinge 303 due to gravity and fall naturally, thereby blocking the entrance of the carrier body 101. At the same time, the counterweight column 302 inside it counterweights the dustproof plate 301, so that the dustproof plate 301 can be stably blocked at the entrance of the carrier body 101, preventing external dust and impurities from entering its interior, causing a short circuit in the circuit after the extension unit 200 is installed, thereby increasing the safety of the carrier body 101.

[0043] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 8 , which is the third embodiment of the present utility model. Based on the expansion interface proposed in the first and second embodiments, this embodiment further provides a server cabinet including the above-mentioned expansion interface: it includes a device unit 400, including a device body 401 arranged on the outside of the carrier body 101, a base 402 arranged at the bottom of the device body 401, a handle 403 arranged on the device body 401, and a display screen 404 arranged on the device body 401. The handle 403 makes it easy for staff to open it, and the display screen 404 displays the working status of its internal electronic equipment, thereby facilitating staff to perform maintenance and inspection on it in a timely manner.

[0046] Compared with Example 2, further, the interior of the carrier body 101 is provided with an interface 1 104, the interior of the carrier body 101 is provided with an interface 2 105, and the interior of the carrier body 101 is provided with an interface 3 106 located on the side of the interface 2 105. The interface 1 104, the interface 2 105, and the interface 3 106 respectively correspond to the interface models of different devices, thereby increasing the practicality and applicability of the device.

[0047] During use, the staff selects the corresponding interface 1 104, interface 2 105, interface 3 106 or any one of the expansion unit 200 according to the interface model of the required connection device. Here, the expansion unit 200 is selected, and then the corresponding expansion unit 200 is installed in the idle carrier body 101. Then, the interface of the connection device is connected to the expansion unit 200 and installed, so that it is inserted into the expansion component 201. At this time, the data of the server cabinet is transmitted to the device connected to the expansion component 201 in sequence through the connecting plug 102, the data interface 203, and the expansion component 201, which makes it convenient for the staff to select the corresponding connector according to the interface model of the connection device, thereby increasing the practicality of the device; at the same time, when the server cabinet needs to connect multiple groups of devices, the corresponding interface 1 104, interface 2 105, interface 3 106 or expansion unit 200 is selected according to the interface model of the device, and it is installed in the carrier body 101, which facilitates the staff to perform data work, improves the work efficiency of the staff, and increases the comfort of the staff.

[0048] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 2.
