Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to a cable backplane and communication equipment. Background Art

[0002] Communication systems, such as networking systems, servers, and data centers, utilize numerous printed circuit boards (PCBs) (referred to as backplanes) to interconnect midplanes, daughter cards, line cards, and / or switch cards. With the rapid advancement of communication technology, demands for higher signal transmission rates and differential pair density are increasing. Consequently, interconnection solutions between cable backplanes and connectors on cabinet enclosures have become a trend.

[0003] In the prior art, cable backplanes typically include a backplane body and connectors fixedly connected to the backplane body. Because the connectors on the backplane body are fixedly mounted on the backplane body, and the connectors on the cabinet plug-in box are also fixedly connected to the cabinet plug-in box, the connectors on the cable backplane cannot move relative to the backplane body.

[0067] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0068] In a first aspect, this embodiment provides a cable backplane with high versatility and reliability.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cable backplane 10 includes a panel 100 and a connector module 200. The panel 100 is used to install the connector module 200. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the panel 100 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 110. For example, the panel 100 in this embodiment is in a rectangular shape. For the convenience of description, this embodiment defines a first direction X, a second direction Y and a third direction Z. Among them, the first direction X is the width direction of the panel 100, the second direction Y is the length direction of the panel 100, and the third direction Z is the thickness direction of the panel 100. Normally, any two of the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the length of the panel 100 is greater than the width of the panel 100, and the width of the panel 100 is greater than the thickness of the panel 100. Of course, it is understandable that the panel 100 can also have other shapes, such as a square or irregular shape, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0070] The plurality of mounting holes 110 in this embodiment are spaced apart along the second direction Y. For example, the plurality of mounting holes 110 may be spaced evenly apart. The shape of the mounting holes 110 may be set according to actual needs. For example, the mounting holes 110 in this embodiment are rectangular.

[0071] For example, there are multiple connector modules 200, and the multiple connector modules 200 correspond to the multiple mounting holes 110 one by one, and each connector module 200 can be installed in the corresponding mounting hole 110. Specifically, Figures 3 to 8As shown, each connector module 200 includes a support assembly 210, a connector body 213, and a floating assembly 220. Each support assembly 210 is provided with an assembly hole (not shown) that communicates with the corresponding mounting hole 110. The connector body 213 is inserted into the corresponding mounting hole 110 and the assembly hole. The support assembly 210 is connected to the panel 100 in a floating manner in a first direction X and a second direction Y via the floating assembly 220, allowing the support assembly 210 to float relative to the panel 100 in both the first direction X and the second direction Y. The connector body 213 is connected to the support assembly 210 in a floating manner in a third direction Z via the floating assembly 220, allowing the connector body 213 to float relative to the support assembly 210 in the third direction Z.

[0072] It should be noted that the floating connection of the support assembly 210 to the panel 100 can be understood as the support assembly 210 being able to move slightly relative to the panel 100. Specifically, the support assembly 210 is able to move slightly relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X and can also move slightly relative to the panel 100 in the second direction Y. Similarly, the floating connection of the connector body 213 to the support assembly 210 can be understood as the connector body 213 being able to move slightly relative to the support assembly 210 in the third direction Z, so that the connector body 213 is not fixed relative to the panel 100, but can move slightly relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z. The length of the small movement in this embodiment can be 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, etc., and this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the third direction Z in this embodiment is the plugging and unplugging direction of the connector body 213 and the docking connector (which can be named as the active connector 500).

[0073] When using the cable backplane 10 provided in this embodiment, the connector used to mate with the connector module 200 on the cable backplane 10 is called an active connector 500. The active connector 500 is disposed on the plug-in box 30, and the plug-in box 30 is provided with multiple active connectors 500. The active connector 500 is aligned with the connector body 213. At this time, if some of the active connectors 500 are not aligned with the connector body 213, the connector body 213 is pushed by the active connector 500 to move slightly in the first direction X and / or the second direction Y, so that the connector body 213 can be successfully mated with the active connector 500. When there is an active connector 500 on the plug-in box 30 that exceeds other active connectors 500 in the plug-in and unplugging direction, if the protruding active connector 500 is just plugged into the corresponding connector body 213, the other active connectors 500 will not be able to be plugged into the corresponding connector body 213. In this embodiment, the connector body 213 is floatingly connected to the support component 210 through the floating component 220, so that the protruding active connector 500 can continue to push the connector body 213 to move in the third direction Z until the other non-protruding active connectors 500 can be plugged into the corresponding connector body 213.

[0074] The cable backplane 10 provided in this embodiment includes a connector module 200 including a support assembly 210, a connector body 213, and a floating assembly 220. The support assembly 210 is connected to the panel 100 in a floating manner in a first direction X and a second direction Y via the floating assembly 220, so that the support assembly 210 can move slightly relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, thereby compensating for positional deviations of the docking active connector 500 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, so that the connector body 213 can smoothly align with the corresponding active connector 500 in the third direction Z, so as to enable smooth insertion. The floating connection of the connector body 213 to the support assembly 210 can compensate for the position deviation of the active connector 500 in the third direction Z, so as to ensure that each set of connector bodies 213 and active connectors 500 can be plugged in place, avoiding the problem of affecting the communication quality due to improper plugging, so that the cable backplane 10 can accommodate the larger position deviation of the active connector 500, reduce the position deviation requirements of the active connector 500 on the plug-in box 30, and can ensure to a greater extent that multiple connector bodies 213 and multiple active connectors 500 are plugged in place at the same time, with high versatility, flexibility and reliability.

[0075] For example, Figure 5As shown, the floating assembly 220 includes a first floating module 221 and a second floating module 222. The first floating module 221 is connected to the panel 100 and the support assembly 210, and the support assembly 210 floats relative to the panel 100 in a first direction X and a second direction Y via the first floating module 221. The second floating module 222 is connected to the support assembly 210 and the connector body 213, and the connector body 213 floats relative to the support assembly 210 in a third direction Z via the second floating module 222. In other words, the connector body 213 moves slightly relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z via the second floating module 222. The third direction Z is the thickness direction of the panel 100.

[0076] Further optionally, as Figure 8 As shown, the support assembly 210 includes a base plate 211 and a cover plate 212. The base plate 211 is disposed on one side of the panel 100. Specifically, the panel 100 has a front and a back surface disposed opposite each other in its thickness direction. The front surface faces the active connector 500. That is, the portion of the connector body 213 for plugging into the active connector 500 extends from the front surface. In this embodiment, the base plate 211 is disposed on the back side of the panel 100. The cover plate 212 is disposed on the side of the base plate 211 facing away from the panel 100. In this embodiment, the base plate 211, the panel 100, and the cover plate 212 are arranged parallel to each other. Furthermore, the cover plate 212 is movably connected to the base plate 211. Specifically, the cover plate 212 can move relative to the base plate 211 in the third direction Z, but cannot move relative to the base plate 211 in the second direction Y and the first direction X. The mounting holes include a first mounting hole 2111 provided in the base plate 211 and a second mounting hole 2121 provided in the cover plate 212. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the connector body 213 in the third direction Z is located between the bottom plate 211 and the panel 100 . That is, the movement of the connector body 213 in the third direction Z is restricted by the bottom plate 211 and the panel 100 .

[0077] See Figure 9 The first floating module 221 includes a movable hole 2211 and a first connecting member 2212. The movable hole 2211 is provided in the bottom plate 211 and extends through the bottom plate 211 along the third direction Z. The first connecting member 2212 passes through the movable hole 2211 and is connected to the panel 100. The first connecting member 2212 restricts movement of the bottom plate 211 relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z, preventing the bottom plate 211 from moving relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z, but allowing movement relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0078] Specifically, if Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, the length of the portion of the first connecting member 2212 located in the movable hole 2211 in the first direction X is a first length, and the length of the movable hole 2211 in the first direction X is a second length, and the first length is less than the second length, so that the bottom plate 211 can move relative to the first connecting member 2212 in the first direction X, thereby achieving movement of the bottom plate 211 relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X, and thus achieving movement of the connector body 213 relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X. It should be noted that the limit of movement of the bottom plate 211 in the first direction X is when the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting member 2212 contacts the hole wall of the movable hole 2211. At this time, the bottom plate 211 cannot continue to move relative to the first connecting member 2212 in the first direction X. Figure 6 It is shown that the minimum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting member 2212 and the hole wall of the movable hole 2211 in the first direction X is the first distance d1.

[0079] And, as Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the length of the portion of the first connecting member 2212 located in the movable hole 2211 in the second direction Y is a third length, and the length of the movable hole 2211 in the second direction Y is a fourth length, and the third length is less than the fourth length, so that the bottom plate 211 can move relative to the first connecting member 2212 in the second direction Y, thereby achieving movement of the bottom plate 211 relative to the panel 100 in the second direction Y, and thus achieving movement of the connector body 213 relative to the panel 100 in the second direction Y. It should be noted that the limit of movement of the bottom plate 211 in the second direction Y is when the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting member 2212 contacts the hole wall of the movable hole 2211. At this time, the bottom plate 211 cannot continue to move relative to the first connecting member 2212 in the second direction Y. Figure 7 It is shown that the minimum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting member 2212 and the hole wall of the movable hole 2211 in the second direction Y is the second distance d2.

[0080] Alternatively, as Figure 9 As shown, the first connecting member 2212 can be a cross-height screw. Specifically, the cross-height screw is a screw comprising a light rod section 22121 and a screw section 22122. The cross nut 22123 of the screw is located on the side of the base plate 211 facing away from the panel 100. The light rod section 22121 is inserted into the movable hole 2211, and the screw section 22122 is screwed to the panel 100.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, the first connecting member 2212 is coaxially arranged with the movable hole 2211, so that there is a gap between the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting member 2212 and the hole wall of the movable hole 2211 in the circumferential direction of the first connecting member 2212, thereby enabling the bottom plate 211 to be Figure 6The bottom plate 211 can also move leftward or rightward relative to the panel 100 in the direction shown, and the movable distance is the first distance d1. Figure 7 In the direction shown, it can move leftward or rightward relative to the panel 100, and the movable distance is the second distance d2, which further improves the flexibility of the bottom plate 211 and the connector body 213 so that they can be applied to different scenarios.

[0082] For example, Figure 9 As shown, the second floating module 222 includes a second connecting member 2221, an elastic member 2222, and a floating through-hole 2223. The floating through-hole 2223 is provided in the cover plate 212. The second connecting member 2221 slidably passes through the floating through-hole 2223 and is connected to the base plate 211. This allows the base plate 211 to move in the first direction X and the second direction Y, thereby driving the cover plate 212 in the first direction X and the second direction Y via the second connecting member 2221. It should be noted that the base plate 211 is fixed relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z; that is, the base plate 211 does not move relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z. The elastic member 2222 is sleeved on the second connecting member 2221, with one end of the elastic member 2222 abutting the cover plate 212 and the other end being restrained by the second connecting member 2221. For example, the second connecting member 2221 has a cap at one end facing away from the cover plate 212, and the elastic member 2222 can abut against the cap. In this embodiment, the elastic member 2222 always tends to move the cover plate 212 toward the base plate 211. For example, the elastic member 2222 can be a spring or other elastic structure, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0083] When the second floating module 222 is in use: Figure 11 This is the original state of the cover plate 212 and the connector body 213. At this time, the portion of the connector body 213 located between the bottom plate 211 and the cover plate 212 is in contact with both the bottom plate 211 and the cover plate 212. The movable connector 500 pushes the connector body 213 to move in the third direction Z, specifically in the direction in which the cover plate 212 moves away from the bottom plate 211. At this time, since the upper limit of the third direction Z of the connector body 213 is located between the bottom plate 211 and the panel 100, and the cover plate 212 can move relative to the bottom plate 211 under the guidance of the second connecting member 2221, the connector body 213 can push the cover plate 212 to move in the direction away from the bottom plate 211 and squeeze the elastic member 2222, causing the elastic member 2222 to be compressed. Since the bottom plate 211 cannot move relative to the panel 100, the second connecting member 2221 enables the connector body 213 to move slightly relative to the panel 100 until it moves to the position shown in FIG. Figure 12In the state shown, the portion of the connector body 213 between the base plate 211 and the cover plate 212 is separated from the base plate 211 and in contact with the cover plate 212. When the external force pushing the connector body 213 disappears, the elastic force of the elastic member 2222 pushes the cover plate 212 and the connector body 213 back to their original position.

[0084] It should be noted that the maximum moving distance of the connector body 213 and the cover plate 212 in the third direction Z is related to the compression limit of the elastic member 2222. Figure 12 As shown, the maximum moving distance of the connector body 213 and the cover plate 212 in the third direction Z is the third distance d3.

[0085] In some optional embodiments, please continue to see Figure 9 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 The connector body 213 is provided with a limiting portion 2131 sandwiched between the cover plate 212 and the bottom plate 211. The cover plate 212 and the bottom plate 211 limit the position of the connector body 213 in the third direction Z through the limiting portion 2131. In this embodiment, at least one limiting portion 2131 is provided on both sides of the connector body 213 in the second direction Y to improve the limiting effect and reliability.

[0086] Optionally, there may be various ways for the cover plate 212 and the bottom plate 211 to limit the limiting portion 2131 . This embodiment provides the following three limiting methods.

[0087] In the first limiting method, if Figure 9 As shown, the surface of the bottom plate 211 facing the cover plate 212 is provided with a first groove 2114, the limiting portion 2131 is placed in the first groove 2114, and the cover plate 212 is arranged to cover the first groove 2114, so that when the limiting portion 2131 moves in the third direction Z, it can push the cover plate 212 to move in the third direction Z. For example, Figure 9 As shown, the first groove 2114 extends to the hole wall of the second assembly hole 2121 , so that the limiting portion 2131 can smoothly extend into the first groove 2114 .

[0088] In the second limiting method, a second groove is provided on the surface of the cover plate 212 facing the base plate 211. The limiting portion 2131 is positioned in the second groove, and the base plate 211 covers the second groove to limit the limiting portion 2131. When the limiting portion 2131 moves in the third direction Z, the second groove can push the cover plate 212 to move in the third direction Z. It should be noted that the second groove extends to the wall of the first assembly hole 2111.

[0089] In the third limiting method, a third groove is provided on the surface of the base plate 211 facing the cover plate 212, and a fourth groove is provided on the surface of the cover plate 212 facing the base plate 211, which cooperates with the third groove. A portion of the limiting portion 2131 is positioned in the third groove, and another portion is positioned in the fourth groove. That is, the third and fourth grooves cooperate to form a cavity, and the limiting portion 2131 is positioned in the cavity and can push the cover plate 212 to move in the third direction Z. It should be noted that the third groove extends to the wall of the first assembly hole 2111, and the fourth groove extends to the wall of the second assembly hole 2121.

[0090] The three structures of the cover plate 212 and the bottom plate 211 can all limit the position of the limiting portion 2131 , thereby limiting the connector body 213 in the third direction Z.

[0091] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the base plate 211 includes a mounting area 2112 and two connection areas 2113. The two connection areas 2113 are located on either side of the mounting area 2112 in the first direction X. The first assembly hole 2111 is provided in the mounting area 2112. Furthermore, the cover plate 212 and the mounting area 2112 are arranged relative to each other in the third direction Z. That is, the connector body 213 and the cover plate 212 are both arranged in the middle of the base plate 211 in the first direction X. By setting the length of the cover plate 212 in the first direction X to be shorter than the length of the base plate 211 in the first direction X, the base plate 211 has a portion not covered by the cover plate 212. This portion can be used to provide the movable hole 2211, thereby facilitating the installation of the first connection member 2212. This reduces the difficulty of assembling the connector module 200 and improves assembly efficiency.

[0092] In this embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 8 In the second direction Y, the two side surfaces of the cover plate 212 are flush with the two side surfaces of the base plate 211, that is, the size of the cover plate 212 in the second direction Y is equal to the size of the base plate 211 in the second direction Y, making the connector module 200 more neat in the second direction Y.

[0093] Exemplarily, multiple first floating modules 221 are provided, with at least one first floating module 221 provided in each of the two connection areas 2113. Specifically, each connection area 2113 is provided with a movable hole 2211, each of which is penetrated by a first connecting member 2212. In this embodiment, four first floating modules 221 are provided for each connector module 200, with each connection area 2113 having two movable holes 2211, which are arranged opposite each other in the first direction X. For example, the base plate 211 is a rectangular plate, with an movable hole 2211 provided at each corner. By providing multiple first floating modules 221, the base plate 211 can be better connected to the panel 100, reducing the possibility of rotation or deviation of the base plate 211.

[0094] In some optional embodiments, in order to ensure the floating effect of the connector body 213 in the third direction Z, please continue to refer to Figure 8 Multiple second floating modules 222 are provided. These modules are distributed on both sides of the second assembly hole 2121 of the cover plate 212 in the second direction Y and are connected to the cover plate 212. This improves the uniformity of the rebound force exerted by the elastic member 2222 on the connector body 213 and the cover plate 212, prevents deflection of the connector body 213, and provides high reliability. This also enhances the reliability of the connection between the cover plate 212 and the base plate 211. In this embodiment, the floating through holes 2223 in the cover plate 212 are distributed on both sides of the second assembly hole 2121. For example, the multiple second floating modules 222 are symmetrically arranged on the cover plate 212 about an axis of symmetry extending in the first direction X, further improving the uniformity of the rebound force exerted on the connector body 213 and the cover plate 212. The number of second floating modules 222 can be 4, 6, 8, etc., and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0095] In this embodiment, by arranging multiple first floating modules 221 on both sides of the cover plate 212 in the first direction X, and arranging second floating modules 222 on both sides of the second assembly hole 2121 in the second direction Y, the space on the base plate 211 and the cover plate 212 is fully utilized, so that the dimensions of the connector module 200 in the first direction X and the second direction Y can be smaller, thereby increasing the density of the connector modules 200 on the cable backplane 10, thereby increasing the communication transmission density of the cable backplane 10.

[0096] In some optional embodiments, please continue to see Figure 8The connector module 200 also includes a guide member 214, which is connected to the bottom plate 211 and extends along the bottom plate 211 in a direction away from the cover plate 212. The guide member 214 is used to guide the connector body 213 when plugging into the active connector 500, so as to reduce the difficulty of plugging the connector body 213 and the active connector 500, so that the two can be plugged in smoothly. For example, one end of the guide member 214 is connected to the bottom plate 211, and the other end of the guide member 214 is used to pass through the guide hole 511 of the active connector 500 to facilitate alignment of the active connector 500 with the connector body 213. Each connector module 200 is provided with a guide member 214, so that the connector body 213 of each connector module 200 can be smoothly plugged into the active connector 500. It should be noted that the guide member 214 passes through the panel 100 and is inserted into the guide hole 511 of the movable connector 500. Specifically, the panel 100 is provided with a fifth through hole 150 corresponding to the guide member 214, and the guide member 214 passes through the fifth through hole 150 and is inserted into the guide hole 511.

[0097] Alternatively, as Figure 9 As shown, the guide member 214 includes a first guide section 2141 and a second guide section 2142 that are coaxially connected. The first guide section 2141 is connected to the base plate 211. In some optional embodiments, the connection between the first guide section 2141 and the base plate 211 is located in the connection area 2113 and avoids the movable hole 2211. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second guide section 2142 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first guide section 2141, that is, the first guide section 2141 is thicker than the second guide section 2142. By providing the first guide section 2141 and the second guide section 2142, step-by-step guidance can be achieved when the movable connector 500 and the connector body 213 are plugged in, ensuring that the two can be plugged in smoothly. For example, the first guide section 2141 and the second guide section 2142 can both be cylindrical or nearly cylindrical structures, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0098] Alternatively, see Figure 9 A tapered section 2143 is provided at one end of the second guide section 2142 away from the first guide section 2141. The setting of the tapered section 2143 enables the guide member 214 to have a pointed end, and the pointed end is located at the end of the guide member 214 facing away from the base plate 211, so as to facilitate the guide member 214 to be inserted into the guide hole 511, further reducing the difficulty of connecting the movable connector 500 with the connector body 213.

[0099] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the transition between the first guide section 2141 and the second guide section 2142, as shown in FIG. Figure 9As shown, a transition slope 2144 is provided at the junction of the first guide segment 2141 and the second guide segment 2142. For example, the transition slope 2144 can also be a chamfer. The provision of the transition slope 2144 or chamfer prevents the first guide segment 2141 from becoming stuck with the movable connector 500 during insertion, thereby improving the success rate of the guide member 214 in inserting the guide hole 511.

[0100] In this embodiment, multiple guide members 214 can be connected to each base plate 211 to further enhance guidance reliability. In this embodiment, a first floating module 221 and a guide member 214 are provided on both sides of the connector body 213 in the first direction X. The first floating module 221 and the guide member 214 on the same side of the connector body 213 are spaced apart in the second direction Y to prevent interference. Furthermore, a second floating module 222 is provided on both sides of the connector body 213 in the second direction Y, preventing interference between the first floating module 221, the second floating module 222, and the guide member 214. For example, two guide members 214 are connected to each base plate 211, and the two guide members 214 are connected to the two connection areas 2113, respectively.

[0101] In some optional embodiments, the circumferential side surface of the first guide section 2141 includes at least two arcuate surfaces (not shown in the figure) and at least one plane (not shown in the figure), wherein the arcuate surface is used to contact the hole wall of the guide hole 511, and the plane has a gap with the hole wall of the guide hole 511.

[0102] This embodiment provides a movable connector 500 for plugging with the connector body 213. Figure 13 As shown, the active connector 500 is plugged into the connector body 213 .

[0103] For example, Figure 13 As shown, the movable connector 500 includes a fixing plate 510 and a connector body 520 mounted on the fixing plate 510. The connector body 520 is plugged into and mated with the connector main body 213.

[0104] Among them, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the fixing plate 510 is provided with a guide hole 511, and the guide hole 511 includes a conical hole section 5111 and a guide hole section 5112 that are connected and coaxially arranged. Among them, the conical hole section 5111 is closer to the panel 100 than the guide hole section 5112, and the guide member 214 is inserted into the conical hole section 5111 and the guide hole section 5112, and the circumferential side surface of the guide member 214 contacts the hole wall of the guide hole section 5112 to achieve the purpose of guiding. For example, the length of the guide hole section 5112 in this embodiment is greater than or equal to 3mm. For example, the length of the guide hole is a preset length d4. Among them, 4 = 3mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 6mm, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. This embodiment Figure 14 Also shown are the distance d6 between the edge of the tapered hole segment 5111 and the edge of the pilot hole segment 5112, the radius d7 of the tapered segment 2143, and the axial length d5 ​​of the transition slope 2144. The values ​​of d5, d6, and d7 can be determined based on actual needs and are not limited in this embodiment.

[0105] Figure 14 Schematic diagram of the step-by-step guidance of the guide member 214. Figure 14 Figure a is a first-level guidance. During this process, the conical section 2143 is aligned with the conical hole section 5111 of the guide hole 511, and the movable connector 500 is continued to be pushed. The conical section 2143 enters the guide hole 511 under the guidance of the conical hole section 5111 until the second guide section 2142 is inserted into the guide hole section 5112 of the guide hole 511. Figure 14 Figure b shows the state after the first level of guidance. After the first level of guidance, the tolerance between the connector body 520 of the movable connector 500 and the connector body 213 is ±0.65 (i.e., 0.5*(6.3-5)). In other words, in this embodiment, the diameter of the second guide section 2142 and the aperture of the guide hole 511 meet the tolerance of ±0.65 (e.g., 0.5*(6.3-5)) between the connector body 520 and the connector body 213 of the movable connector 500 after the first level of guidance. Figure 14 Figure c shows the secondary guidance process. During this process, under the action of the transition slope 2144, the first guide section 2141 smoothly enters the guide hole section 5112. The diameter of the first guide section 2141 and the aperture of the guide hole section 5112 meet the tolerance of the connector body 520 and the connector body 213 of the movable connector 500 after the secondary guidance, which is ±0.15 (for example, 0.5*(6.3-6)). Figure 14 Figure d in the figure shows the state after the secondary guidance. At this time, under the action of the first floating module 221, the connector body 213 and the connector body 520 can be plugged in.

[0106] Of course, it is understandable that the active connector 500 may also be a connector with other structures, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0107] The panel 100 in the prior art is usually an integrated structure, which has the problem of large cumulative tolerance. This embodiment provides a panel 100, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the panel 100 is a spliced ​​structure, and the panel 100 includes a plurality of plates 120 connected end to end. Each plate 120 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 110, which are spaced apart along the length direction (ie, the second direction Y) of the plate 120.

[0108] like Figure 15 As shown, the first of the two connected plates 120 is provided with a first connecting portion 121, and the second is provided with a second connecting portion 122. The first and second plates each represent one plate 120. The first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 are disposed opposite each other in the thickness direction of the plate 120 (i.e., the third direction Z).

[0109] In this embodiment, Figure 16 As shown, the surface of the first connecting portion 121 facing the second connecting portion 122 is provided with a pre-installed groove 1211. Figure 17 As shown, a pre-installed protrusion 1221 is provided on the surface of the second connecting portion 122 facing the first connecting portion 121, and the pre-installed protrusion 1221 is placed in the pre-installed groove 1211 to realize the pre-installation of the two plate bodies 120 that need to be connected. In addition, by setting the pre-installed protrusion 1221 and the pre-installed groove 1211, the relative positions of the two plate bodies 120 can be limited, so that the two plate bodies 120 can be accurately assembled.

[0110] Illustratively, both the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 are provided with positioning holes 1212, through which positioning pins 130 are inserted. The positioning pins 130 are used to position the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122, further ensuring the positional accuracy of the two plates 120, that is, the connector accuracy. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 are connected by a third connecting member 160 to achieve the connection between the two plates 120.

[0111] The panel 100 provided in this embodiment is formed by connecting a plurality of plate bodies 120 end to end. Each plate body 120 is provided with a mounting hole 110 for mounting the connector body 213, and the plate body 120 is provided with a first connecting portion 121 and a second connecting portion 122. The two plate bodies 120 can be connected through the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122, and the pre-installed protrusion 1221 of the second connecting portion 122 is placed in the pre-installed groove 1211 of the first connecting portion 121, and the positioning pin 130 is inserted into the positioning hole 1212 of the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122, so that the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 are connected. 2, thereby ensuring the connection accuracy of the two board bodies 120. Each board body 120 does not need to be set longer, thereby avoiding the situation where the cumulative tolerance of the mounting hole 110 is large and it cannot be plugged into the active connector 500, so that multiple connector bodies 213 can be plugged into multiple movable parts at the same time, thereby improving the reliability of the cable backplane 10 of the application board surface. The shorter board body 120 can also avoid the situation of bending in the middle, thereby avoiding the problem that the connector body 213 set in the middle of the length direction of the panel 100 cannot be connected to the active connector 500, thereby improving the yield and reliability of the cable backplane 10 of the application panel 100.

[0112] By setting up a spliced ​​panel 100 and cooperating with the floating component 220, the cable backplane 10 provided in this embodiment can be applied to the plug-in box 30 with a larger assembly tolerance based on its own smaller assembly tolerance, and has stronger adaptability and thus can have a lower cost.

[0113] In this embodiment, the cross-sections of the first connection portion 121 and the second connection portion 122 are both Z-shaped so as to cooperate with each other to achieve precise connection.

[0114] Alternatively, as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, each plate 120 includes a central region 1201 and frame regions 1202 disposed on either side of the central region 1201 along the width direction of the plate 120 (i.e., the first direction X). The thickness of the plate 120 in the central region 1201 is thinner than that in the frame regions 1202, and the mounting holes 110 are provided in the central region 1201. By providing the thinner central region 1201 and mounting the connector body 213 in the central region 1201, the combined thickness of the central region 1201 and the connector module 200 can be reduced while ensuring support for the connector body 213. This reduces the overall thickness of the cable backplane 10, thereby reducing the overall size of the cable backplane 10 and facilitating its application in applications requiring high space requirements.

[0115] It should be noted that each frame area 1202 is provided with a first connection part 121 and / or a second connection part 122, that is, the first connection part 121 and the second connector are arranged in the frame area 1202. Since the thickness of the frame area 1202 is relatively large, the thickness of the first connection part 121 and the second connection part 122 can both be relatively large, which is conducive to forming a pre-installed groove 1211.

[0116] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 4 、 Figures 15 to 17 The portion of the frame area 1202 where the first connection portion 121 and the second connection portion 122 are not provided is the main body 123. That is, each frame area 1202 includes the main body 123 and the first connection portion 121, or includes the main body 123 and the second connection portion 122, or includes the main body 123, the first connection portion 121, and the second connection portion 122. The sum of the thickness of the first connection portion 121, the second connection portion 122, and the thickness is equal to the thickness of the main body 123, and the surface of the first connection portion 121 facing away from the second connection portion 122 is flush with one side surface of the main body 123 in the thickness direction, and the surface of the second connection portion 122 facing away from the first connection portion 121 is flush with the other side surface of the main body 123 in the thickness direction. As a result, the provision of the first connection portion 121 and the second connection portion 122 does not increase the thickness of the board body 120, further contributing to the lightweight and thinning of the panel 100. In addition, the surface of the first connecting part 121 facing away from the second connecting part 122 is flush with one side surface of the main body 123 in the thickness direction, and the surface of the second connecting part 122 facing away from the first connecting part 121 is flush with the other side surface of the main body 123 in the thickness direction, which facilitates the assembly of the components on both sides of the panel 100 on the panel 100 and also makes the panel 100 more neat.

[0117] Exemplarily, the length of the first connection portion 121 is equal to the length of the second connection portion 122, and as Figure 4 As shown, the end surface of the first connection portion 121 contacts the end surface of the second connection portion, and the end surface of the second connection portion 122 contacts the end surface of the first connection portion, so that the first connection portion 121 and the second connection portion 122 can be better fitted together, avoiding the risk of relative movement between the first connection portion 121 and the second connection portion 122 when the panel 100 is subjected to a force in its thickness direction. This can prevent the panel 100 from bending and deforming, improve the integrity of the panel 100, and enable the panel 100 to better support the connector module 200. It should be noted that the length direction of the first connection portion 121 is the same as the length direction of the second connection portion 122. For example, the length direction of the first connection portion 121 is the second direction Y.

[0118] In some optional embodiments, the pre-installation groove 1211 extends to the end surface of the first connecting portion 121. Specifically, the pre-installation groove 1211 extends in the second direction Y to the end of the first connecting portion 121. On the one hand, this makes the size of the pre-installation groove 1211 larger, which facilitates assembly with the pre-installation protrusion 1221. On the other hand, the pre-installation protrusion 1221 can be inserted into the pre-installation groove 1211 from the end of the first connecting portion 121, further facilitating the assembly of the two plates 120. Similarly, the pre-installation protrusion 1221 extends to the end surface of the second connecting portion 122. That is, the pre-installation protrusion 1221 extends in the second direction Y to the end of the second connecting portion 122, so that the pre-installation protrusion 1221 can slide into the pre-installation groove 1211.

[0119] Alternatively, as Figure 16 As shown, the first connecting portion 121 is provided with a through hole 1213, the second connecting portion 122 is provided with a second threaded hole 1222, and the third connecting member 160 is a bolt, which passes through the through hole 1213 and is screwed into the second threaded hole 1222 to achieve the connection between the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122. In this embodiment, please combine Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the through hole 1213 is provided in the pre-installed groove 1211, the second threaded hole 1222 is provided in the pre-installed protrusion 1221, and the positioning hole 1212 is located outside the pre-installed groove 1211 and the pre-installed protrusion 1221, so that the positioning hole 1212 is separated from the through hole 1213, that is, the second threaded hole 1222, thereby reducing the influence of the opening on the structural strength of the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 122.

[0120] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the widths of the plurality of plates 120 are the same, that is, the lengths of the plurality of plates 120 in the first direction X are equal, so as to ensure the structural uniformity of the panel 100 in the first direction X. Figure 5 As shown, both sides of the plate body 120 in the length direction and / or both sides in the width direction are provided with shallow grooves 124, and the bottom of the shallow grooves 124 is provided with third threaded holes 1241. For example, the shallow grooves 124 are used to connect other structures.

[0121] Please continue to see Figure 4 The panel 100 includes three plates 120, namely, a first plate 12a, a second plate 12b, and a third plate 12c. The first plate 12a, the second plate 12b, and the third plate 12c are sequentially connected along the second direction Y.

[0122] In the second direction Y, one end of the first plate 12a and one end of the third plate 12c are both provided with the first connection portion 121, and the other end of the first plate 12a and the other end of the third plate 12c are not provided with the first connection portion 121 or the second connection portion 122. Figure 16 As shown, one end of the first plate 12a is provided with two first connection parts 121. Of course, one end of the third plate 12c is also provided with two first connection parts 121. Both ends of the second plate 12b are provided with second connection parts 122. Figure 17 As shown, two second connecting portions 122 are provided at each end of the second plate 12b. The first connecting portion 121 of the first plate 12a is connected to the second connecting portion 122 at one end of the second plate 12b via a third connecting member 160. The first connecting portion 121 of the third plate 12c is connected to the second connecting portion 122 at the other end of the second plate 12b via a third connecting member 160, thereby achieving connection between the first plate 12a, the second plate 12b, and the third plate 12c.

[0123] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the length of the mounting hole 110 on the second plate body 12b in the width direction of the plate body 120 (and the first direction X) is greater than the length of the mounting hole 110 on the first plate body 12a in the width direction of the plate body 120, and is greater than the length of the mounting hole 110 on the third plate body 12c in the width direction of the plate body 120, so that the size of the connector body 213 installed on the second plate body 12b in the first direction X can be larger, thereby making the panel 100 suitable for installing connector bodies 213 of different sizes, further improving the flexibility of the panel 100.

[0124] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cable backplane 10 also includes a shell 400, and an opening 420 is provided on one side of the shell 400. Specifically, the shell 400 is provided with an opening 420 on one side in the third direction Z. The panel 100 is provided in the opening 420 and connected to the shell 400. The shell 400 and the panel 100 are arranged to form a relatively sealed space. Part of the connector body 213 and the wires are located in the space. The shell 400 is used to prevent dust and water.

[0125] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 18As shown, the housing 400 is provided with a plurality of tabs 450. The tabs 450 are provided on one side of the housing 400 and correspond to the shallow grooves 124 on the plate 120. That is, the number of tabs 450 is the same as the number of shallow grooves 124, and the tabs 450 are placed in their corresponding shallow grooves 124, so that the shallow grooves 124 can accommodate the tabs 450. This ensures that the dimensions of the cable backplate 10 in the first direction X or the second direction Y are not increased by the provision of the tabs 450, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the cable backplate 10. The tabs 450 are provided with tab through-holes 451 that communicate with the third threaded holes 1241. A fourth bolt is provided through the third threaded holes 1241 and the tab through-holes 451, connecting the tabs 450 and the plate 120, thereby achieving connection between the housing 400 and the panel 100. By providing the protruding piece portion 450 , the housing 400 does not need to be provided with a circumferential edge protruding from the panel 100 , which reduces the material used for the housing 400 and the weight of the housing 400 , thereby facilitating the lightweighting of the cable backplane 10 .

[0126] Optionally, the cable backplane 10 further includes a riser assembly 300. The riser assembly 300 is connected to the panel 100 and is used to connect the panel 100 to the cabinet 20 of the communication equipment, and has a strong connection strength and a low weight.

[0127] In some optional embodiments, the vertical plate assembly 300 is located in the shell 400, the vertical plate assembly 300 is provided with a first threaded hole 311, the shell 400 is provided with a first through hole 410 connected to the first threaded hole 311, one end of the first bolt passes through the first through hole 410 and is screwed to the first threaded hole 311, and the other end of the first bolt is connected to the cabinet body 20 of the cabinet to realize the connection between the panel 100 and the cabinet body 20 through the vertical plate assembly 300.

[0128] For example, the housing 400 is provided with an opening 420 on one side in the third direction Z. Figure 18 As shown, the wall surface on the other side is provided with a plurality of first through holes 410. There are multiple vertical plates 310 and they are all located in the housing 400. One end of the vertical plate 310 is connected to the panel 100, and the other end is provided with a first threaded hole 311. The multiple first through holes 410 correspond to the multiple first threaded holes 311 one by one. One end of the first bolt passes through the first through hole 410 and is connected to the first threaded hole 311, and the other end is used to connect to the cabinet body 20 of the cabinet.

[0129] In this embodiment, by providing multiple vertical plates 310 and achieving connection with the cabinet 20 and the panel 100 through the vertical plates 310, the strength requirements for the housing 400 can be lower than the method of connecting the housing 400 to the cabinet 20 in the prior art. The strength requirements for the housing 400 are transferred to the vertical plates 310. Since only a few vertical plates 310 are required, even if thicker vertical plates 310 and made of better materials are used, the cost of the cable backplane 10 will not be excessively increased. Moreover, the overall weight of the cable backplane 10 will be less affected, and the reliability of the connection between the panel 100 and the cabinet 20 can be improved. In addition, by providing the vertical plates 310, the housing 400 can be supported to prevent the housing 400 from being deformed due to impact or extrusion by other components, thereby better protecting the connector body 213, wires, or other electronic components therein, and having higher safety.

[0130] It should be noted that each vertical plate 310 may be provided with multiple first threaded holes 311 to improve the connection strength between each vertical plate 310 and the cabinet body 20 , and the number of first bolts and the number of first through holes 410 correspond to the first threaded holes 311 .

[0131] In some optional embodiments, please continue to see Figure 18 The housing 400 is further provided with a second through hole 430. Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, a positioning post 320 is provided at the end of the vertical plate 310 facing away from the panel 100. That is, the positioning post 320 is provided at the end of the vertical plate 310 provided with the first threaded hole 311. The end of the positioning post 320 facing away from the vertical plate 310 passes through the second through hole 430 and is used to be inserted into the matching hole of the cabinet 20 to achieve positioning of the cabinet 20 and the vertical plate 310, thereby positioning the cabinet 20 and the cable backplane 10 as a whole, so that the cable backplane 10 can be installed at a predetermined position on the cabinet 20.

[0132] For example, one or more positioning posts 320 may be provided, and each positioning post 320 may have a corresponding second through hole 430 thereon.

[0133] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 22 As shown, the panel 100 is provided with a plurality of third through holes 140, and each vertical plate 310 is provided with a fourth threaded hole 330 corresponding to and connected to the third through hole 140. A second bolt (not shown in the figure) passes through the third through hole 140 and is connected to the fourth threaded hole 330 to realize the connection between the vertical plate 310 and the panel 100.

[0134] Further optionally, as Figure 19As shown, the end of the vertical plate 310 close to the panel 100 is provided with multiple support protrusions 340, that is, the end surface of the vertical plate 310 facing the panel 100 is provided with support protrusions 340. The multiple support protrusions 340 are spaced apart along the length direction (and the second direction Y) of the panel 100. Figure 21 As shown, the support protrusion 340 contacts the panel 100. Specifically, the support protrusion 340 is arranged in contact with the panel 100. The fourth threaded hole 330 is provided on the support protrusion 340 to facilitate the connection between the vertical plate 310 and the panel 100. By providing the support protrusion 340, a hole structure can be formed between the support bodies and the surfaces of the panel 100 and the vertical plate 310 facing the panel 100, so that the overall weight of the vertical plate 310 can be small, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the cable backplane 10. For example, Figure 21 As shown, there are three supporting protrusions 340 , and the three supporting protrusions 340 are arranged at intervals.

[0135] In some optional embodiments, in order to further facilitate the connection between the vertical plate 310 and the panel 100, each support protrusion 340 is provided with a protrusion 350 on the surface facing away from the vertical plate 310, that is, the protrusion 350 is provided on the support protrusion 340, for example, the protrusion 350 is coaxially arranged with the support protrusion 340. Figure 22 As shown, the third through hole 140 includes a coaxially arranged large hole section 141 and a small hole section 142. The boss 350 is positioned in the large hole section 141, and the support protrusion 340 contacts the panel 100. By inserting the boss 350 into the large hole section 141, the vertical plate 310 and the panel 100 can be pre-assembled. That is, before the second bolt is connected, each boss 350 is inserted into the corresponding large hole section 141, thereby pre-fixing each vertical plate 310. The fourth threaded hole 330 extends to the boss 350, and the second bolt can be directly screwed into the boss 350 from the front of the panel 100, extending to the support protrusion 340 and even into the vertical plate 310.

[0136] Exemplarily, the third through hole 140 also includes a receiving groove arranged at the end of the small hole section 142 facing away from the large hole section 141, and the receiving groove is used to accommodate the cap of the second bolt to prevent the cap of the second bolt from protruding from the front of the panel 100, thereby affecting the connection between the connector body 213 and the active connector 500.

[0137] For example, Figure 3As shown, the vertical plate 310 is connected to the two edges in the width direction of the panel 100, that is, the vertical plate 310 is connected to the frame area 1202 of the plate body 120. In this embodiment, each frame area 1202 of each plate body 120 is connected to a corresponding vertical plate 310, so that each plate body 120 can be connected to the cabinet body 20 through the vertical plate 310, thereby reducing the dependence on the connection strength between the plate bodies 120. By connecting the vertical plate 310 to the frame area of ​​the plate body 120, it is also possible to avoid interference between the vertical plate 310 and the connector body 213 and the wires.

[0138] In some optional embodiments, the plurality of vertical plates 310 are spaced apart in the length direction of the panel 100 . For example, the plurality of vertical plates 310 may be evenly and spaced apart to improve the uniformity and reliability of supporting the panel 100 .

[0139] Alternatively, as Figure 20 As shown, the vertical plate 310 further includes a fifth threaded hole 360, such as Figure 18 As shown, the housing 400 is provided with a fourth through hole 440 correspondingly connected to the fifth threaded hole 360. Figure 3 As shown, the cable backplane 10 further includes a handle 600. The handle 600 is located outside the housing 400. The third bolt passes through the fourth through-hole 440 and is connected to the fifth threaded hole 360, thereby connecting the handle 600 to the vertical plate 310. The provision of the handle 600 allows an operator or a device such as a robot to grasp the entire cable backplane 10 using the handle 600, facilitating movement and transportation of the cable backplane 10 and facilitating assembly of the cable backplane 10.

[0140] For example, Figure 25 As shown, the housing 400 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 460. The heat dissipation holes 460 are used to dissipate heat within the housing 400, thereby preventing excessive temperatures in the space enclosed by the housing 400 and the panel 100, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the cable backplane. It should be noted that the housing 400 is formed by a plurality of side panels, each of which is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 460.

[0141] In some optional embodiments, not all upright panels 310 are connected to the handle 600. Some upright panels 310 may be provided with the fifth threaded hole 360, while others may not. In this case, some upright panels 310 may be connected to the handle 600, while others may not be connected to the handle 600. This embodiment is not limited to this. It is understood that each upright panel 310 may also be connected to the handle 600, and this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0142] In this embodiment, vertical plates 310 are provided on both edges of the panel 100 in the first direction X, and the handle 600 has a U-shaped structure. One end of the handle 600 is connected to the vertical plate 310 on one edge of the panel 100 in the first direction X, and the other end of the handle 600 is connected to the vertical plate 310 on the other edge of the panel 100 in the first direction X, so that the size of the handle 600 can be smaller, so that the force on the panel 100 can be more balanced.

[0143] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 19 and Figure 21 As shown, the vertical plate 310 is provided with a weight-reducing hole, which penetrates the vertical plate 310 in the thickness direction of the vertical plate 310. The provision of the weight-reducing hole, on the one hand, can reduce the weight of the vertical plate 310, which is beneficial to the lightweighting of the cable backplane 10. On the other hand, the weight-reducing hole can transfer the heat generated by the connector body 213 to the housing 400 through the weight-reducing hole, and then dissipate it to the outside through the housing 400. Therefore, the provision of the vertical plate 310 does not excessively block the transfer of heat to the housing 400, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the cable backplane 10 and prevents the communication efficiency from being affected by excessive temperature.

[0144] Optionally, one or more weight-reducing holes may be provided, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0145] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the end surface of the vertical plate 310 facing away from the panel 100 contacts the shell 400, so as to better support the shell 400, prevent the shell 400 from being twisted and deformed, and ensure the appearance of the line board backplane.

[0146] In some optional embodiments, the vertical plate 310 is a trapezoidal plate, a rectangular plate, a square plate, or a plate of other shapes, which is not limited in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the vertical plate 310 is a trapezoidal plate, and the longer end of the trapezoidal plate contacts the panel 100, and the shorter end contacts the housing 400.

[0147] In a second aspect, this embodiment further provides a communication device, comprising the cable backplane 10 in the first aspect. The communication device provided by this embodiment has a high communication effect and a wide range of application scenarios.

[0148] The communication device in this embodiment may be a cabinet. Of course, the communication device may also be other electronic components, which is not limited in this embodiment. Figure 23 The communication equipment provided in this embodiment is a schematic diagram of a cabinet, wherein two cable backplanes 10 are provided, both of which are connected to the cabinet body 20 of the cabinet, and three plug-in boxes 30 are provided, all of which are plugged into the cable backplane. Figure 24 This is a schematic diagram of two cable backplanes 10 provided in this embodiment plugged into a single plug-in box 30.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are possible for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, while the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
