Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model claims priority to patent application number 202422159001.2, filed September 4, 2024, entitled “An Enterprise-Class Router,” the entire text of which is incorporated herein by reference. This utility model relates to the field of routers, and more particularly, to an enterprise-class router. Background Art

[0002] A router is a routing device that connects local area networks and wide area networks on the Internet. It automatically selects and sets routes based on channel conditions and sends signals in sequence. Usually, according to different application scenarios, routers are divided into home routers and enterprise routers. An enterprise router is a router designed for enterprise network environments. It usually has powerful performance, more functions and higher reliability, and is more sophisticated in industrial design. Its working life is much longer than that of a home router, and it can work 24 hours a day to meet the company's needs for network connection, data transmission, security, etc.

[0003] Existing enterprise-level routers all have some issues, to varying degrees. For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication CN220087315U discloses an enterprise-level router that addresses the difficulty of placing multiple enterprise-level routers simultaneously. However, the antennas take up a significant amount of space. For enterprise-level routers, customizing the operating system, combining basic and advanced software, and meticulously designing the industrial design can completely eliminate the need for antennas.

[0004] Another example is Chinese patent CN220087315U, which discloses an enterprise-level router with a signal transmitter connected to one side of the shell. Splicing mechanisms, Kara structures, etc. are set on both sides of the shell, allowing multiple groups of routers to be spliced ​​and assembled, which can reduce the occupied space. However, it still occupies space due to the installation of side antennas.

[0005] Another example is Chinese utility model patent announcement CN208675262U, which discloses an enterprise-class router that can prevent dust from falling on the enterprise-class router by setting a dustproof plate. This improves the ease of use of the enterprise-class router, and by setting a rubber plate, the circuit board is well protected, and by setting a heat sink, the heat dissipation speed is increased. However, this setting is obviously not sophisticated enough in industrial design. The setting of additional components not only increases the manufacturing cost of the enterprise-class router, but also affects the size of the enterprise-class router. In other words, the volume reduction advantage caused by omitting the antenna is completely lost by these additional period settings.

[0006] Another example is Chinese patent CN220693173U, which discloses an enterprise-class router that has a dust cover on the top and dust panels on both sides to improve its anti-interference capability. However, this also increases the manufacturing cost of the device.

[0007] On the other hand, in existing technologies, enterprise-class routers need to utilize both basic industrial functions and advanced features. These functions are typically implemented through various software combinations built into the router's control circuitry, significantly increasing the router's operational burden. If expansion slots could be used to expand functionality, the router's factory settings would be significantly reduced, significantly improving router compatibility. Furthermore, if LC circuits were installed in conjunction with the expansion slots, upload and download transmission rates could be further increased.

[0008] There is an urgent need in the prior art for an enterprise-level router that can reduce space, expand functions, and increase upload and download transmission rates. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned problems and provide an enterprise-level router that does not require an antenna and a dustproof plate, thereby reducing the space occupied by the enterprise-level router and lowering costs. At the same time, by providing an expansion slot, the utility model can achieve expanded usage functions, and at the same time, can visually display the working status through a liquid crystal panel, and can further improve the upload and download transmission rates.

[0010] Specifically, according to one aspect of the present invention, an enterprise-class router is provided, comprising a housing, the front of which is provided with indicator lights, including a power indicator light, a hard disk indicator light, and a data exchange indicator light; a side of the housing is provided with a heat dissipation vent, and a liquid crystal panel is arranged around the heat dissipation vent, the liquid crystal panel being electrically connected to the indicator lights on the front of the housing; a back of the housing is provided with a power interface, a USB interface, multiple Ethernet interfaces, and a management interface; a circuit board is provided within the housing, the circuit board being provided with a central processing unit, an Ethernet controller corresponding to the Ethernet interface, a reset circuit, and a clock signal generator.

[0011] According to the utility model, since there is no need to design antennas, dustproof plates, or rubber plates, the volume of the router is greatly reduced. In particular, the space occupied by multiple sets of routers during storage and transportation is greatly reduced, and transportation efficiency is greatly improved.

[0012] Furthermore, by setting up expansion interfaces such as a USB interface, multiple Ethernet interfaces and a management interface, a hard disk expansion slot is set up, so that it can achieve expanded usage functions.

[0013] Furthermore, the LCD panel is configured to display the operating status of the router of the present invention in real time. The LCD panel displays in real time whether the operating status of each component is normal (Normal) or faulty (Fault), as well as the uplink and downlink network speeds and the temperature of the processor.

[0014] Furthermore, by setting up an LC oscillation circuit between the Ethernet interface and the circuit board, an oscillation frequency is given to the entire connection circuit. By using the principle of changing the signal frequency through electromagnetic oscillation, the signal uplink and downlink network transmission speed can be improved without changing the bandwidth.

[0015] Preferably, the central processing unit is an ARM processor.

[0016] According to the utility model, since an ARM processor is provided, it is able to be well compatible with and adapt to various expansion requirements realized by various expansion interfaces and expansion slots, providing great convenience for subsequent maintenance.

[0017] Preferably, the data exchange indicator light includes an Ethernet connection status indicator light and a management indicator light.

[0018] Preferably, the power interface includes a three-phase power interface and a Type-C power interface.

[0019] Preferably, there are at least two USB interfaces and at least four Ethernet interfaces, and all of them are Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

[0020] Preferably, the front side of the housing may further include an expansion hard disk slot.

[0021] Preferably, the shell has dimensions of 30 cm in length, 20 cm in width and 6 cm in height.

[0022] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model include:

[0023] (1) Since there is no antenna, dustproof plate or rubber plate, it is small in size, beautiful in appearance and occupies little space;

[0024] (2) Since there is no need to set up additional antennas, dust shields and other components, the cost is low;

[0025] (3) Due to the provision of expansion interfaces such as a USB interface, multiple Ethernet interfaces and a management interface, the back of the housing also includes an expansion hard disk slot and is compatible with an ARM processor, thus enabling more extensive expansion functions;

[0026] (4) Since the LCD panel is set to display the operating status of the router in real time, it is possible to control in real time whether the operating status of each component is normal, and to visualize the upstream and downstream network speeds and ARM temperature;

[0027] (5) Since an LC oscillation circuit is set between the Ethernet interface and the circuit board, the upload and download transmission rates can be increased without changing the bandwidth. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
