[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] Next, the present invention is described in detail with reference to schematic diagrams. For ease of illustration, cross-sectional views of device structures may be partially enlarged and not to scale when describing the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, in actual production, three-dimensional dimensions, including length, width, and depth, should be included.
[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment is a centralized switching device with KVM function, including:
[0032] The switch assembly includes a switch body 11, a display screen 12, and a baffle 13. The display screen 12 is rotatably mounted on the middle portion of the upper surface of the switch body 11, and the baffle 13 is fixed to the top surface of the display screen 12.
[0033] The switch body 11 is the main structure of the KVM switch rack, and the display screen 12 is used to display the status information or operation interface of the KVM switch. The display screen is an important interface for users to interact with the KVM switch rack. Through it, users can intuitively understand the operating status of the device and perform corresponding operations.
[0034] The locking assembly includes a fixed slot 21, a fixed block 22, a movable slot 23, a fixed plate 24, a first spring 25, and an L-shaped rod 26. The fixed slot 21 is located at the center of one side of the exchanger body 11 and is T-shaped. The fixed block 22 is fixed to the middle of the top surface of the baffle 13. The movable slots 23 are located on both sides of the top surface of the fixed block 22. The fixed plate 24 is fixed between the two movable slots 23. The first spring 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 24. The two L-shaped rods 26 pass through the corresponding movable slots 23.
[0035] The fixed groove 21 is T-shaped and is used to accommodate the lower end of the L-shaped rod 26, and locks and unlocks the display screen 12 by cooperating with the L-shaped rod 26. The movable groove 23 is used to accommodate the L-shaped rod 26 and allow it to move within a certain range. The design of the movable groove 23 enables the L-shaped rod 26 to move inward when subjected to external force, thereby triggering the locking or unlocking mechanism. The fixed plate 24 is used to connect the first spring 25 and the L-shaped rod 26.
[0036] A first limiting block 27 is fixed to the middle of both sides of the L-shaped rod 26. A limiting groove 28 is provided in the middle of both sides of the fixed block 22. The movable groove 23 passes through both sides of the fixed block 22 and passes through the baffle 13. The first limiting block 27 slides through the limiting groove 28, and the lower end of the L-shaped rod 26 is immersed in the fixed groove 21.
[0037] L-shaped rods 26 are the core components for locking and unlocking the display screen 12. When the staff pinches the two L-shaped rods 26 and presses them in the middle, the L-shaped rods 26 move inward against the elastic force of the spring, thereby triggering the locking mechanism. When the hand is released, the spring pushes the L-shaped rods 26 back to the initial position and clamps into the two sides inside the fixed slot 21, achieving stable locking of the display screen 12.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] When the display screen 12 needs to be opened, the staff only needs one hand to pinch the two L-shaped rods 26 and press them in the middle. At this time, the first spring 25 is compressed, and the two L-shaped rods 26 move inward in the movable slot 23. At this time, the lower end of the L-shaped rod 26 moves out from the two sides inside the fixed slot 21, and the display screen 12 is rotated upward to open the switch. At this time, the L-shaped rod 26 moves out of the fixed slot 21, and the switch is opened. When the display screen 12 needs to be closed, the staff still needs to pinch the two L-shaped rods 26 in the middle, and then rotate the display screen 12 downward to close on the surface of the switch main body 11. At this time, the lower end of the L-shaped rod 26 is inserted into the middle of the fixed slot 21, and then the hand pinching the L-shaped rod 26 is released. The first spring 25 moves to the two sides under the elastic force of the spring, so that the L-shaped rod 26 is clamped into the two sides of the fixed slot 21, and the switch main body 11 can be quickly locked and unlocked;
[0040] In this step, the staff can complete the opening and closing operation of the display screen with only one hand, which greatly improves the operation efficiency. Especially in the case of needing to carry other tools or equipment at the same time, it reduces the dependence on both hands, making the operation more flexible and convenient.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment is based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1, and further includes:
[0042] The protection assembly includes a connecting block 31, a mounting slot 32, a second spring 33, a connecting plate 34, and a protection plate 35. The connecting block 31 is fixed to the lower side of the display screen 12. The mounting slot 32 is opened in the middle of one side of the connecting block 31. The second spring 33 is fixed inside the mounting slot 32. The connecting plate 34 is fixedly connected to one end of the second spring 33. The protection plate 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 34. Square slots 311 are opened on both sides of the connecting block 31. Second limiting blocks 341 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plate 34, and the second limiting blocks 341 are slidingly penetrated into the square slots 311.
[0043] The connecting block 31 is the basic part of the entire protective assembly. The second spring 33 provides elastic force for the connecting plate 34. When the display screen 12 is opened, the second spring 33 is compressed; when the display screen 12 is closed, the second spring 33 restores its deformation and pushes the connecting plate 34 to move outward. This elastic mechanism enables the protective plate 35 to automatically adjust its position according to the status of the display screen 12.
[0044] Working principle:
[0045] When the display screen 12 is open, the protective plate 35 abuts against the switch body 11, compressing the second spring 33 in the mounting groove 32. When the display screen 12 is closed, the second spring 33 recovers its deformation, causing the connecting plate 34 to move outward. The connecting plate 34 simultaneously drives the protective plate 35 to move outward, thereby shielding the connection between the display screen 12 and the switch body 11, effectively shielding the connection between the display screen 12 and the switch body 11.
[0046] This step prevents dust, liquids, or other foreign matter from entering this area, thus protecting the internal components from contamination and damage.
[0047] It should also be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections, direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
