The KVM switching module connects to the main control board via a USB interface and an I / O port. The front of the housing features a switch reset area and a KVM switching area 3 connected to the main control board. The switch reset area includes a power button, used to simultaneously turn the power on and off the all-in-one machine and the computer. The KVM switching area 3 has at least two buttons: an all-in-one machine switching button and a computer switching button, used to switch the information source displayed on the screen between the all-in-one machine and the computer, and to switch the keyboard and mouse input between the two devices.

[0048] Thus, this utility model enables the all-in-one machine and the computer on the ship's display and control console to share a single display screen, a single mouse, and a single keyboard via a KVM switching module, making the components distributed on the ship's display and control console more organized, avoiding the messy wiring of the ship's display and control console, and facilitating operation.

[0049] As a further improvement, the power switch reset area also includes an all-in-one computer reset button and a computer reset button; the all-in-one computer reset button is used to reset and restart the all-in-one computer in case of a malfunction; the computer reset button is used to reset and restart the computer in case of a malfunction. This facilitates the power on / off and reset operations for both the computer and the all-in-one computer.

[0050] As a further improvement, the front of the casing also features a status display area 2 connected to the main control board. This status display area 2 has at least five indicator lights, representing normal, alarm, fault, all-in-one machine, and computer, respectively. One of the indicator lights representing the all-in-one machine or the computer illuminates at a time. When the KVM switching module switches to the all-in-one machine, the indicator light for the all-in-one machine illuminates; when the KVM switching module switches to the computer, the indicator light for the computer illuminates. These indicator lights, along with the indicator lights representing normal, alarm, and fault, indicate the status of either the all-in-one machine or the computer. The judgment procedures for normal, alarm, and fault status are stored on the main control board. By setting multiple indicator lights, the status of the all-in-one machine and the computer, including normal, alarm, and fault status, as well as the current working status of the KVM switching module, can be displayed intuitively, enhancing the system's monitoring capabilities.

[0051] As a further improvement, the front of the housing also features a dimming area connected to the main control board; this dimming area has a knob for unified control of the brightness of the keyboard, mouse, display screen, and status indicator lights. As a further improvement, the buttons in the KVM switching area 3, the power switch, and the reset area 1 can all have their brightness adjusted via the knob in the dimming area. Adjusting the brightness of the KVM switching area 3 and the power switch / reset area buttons via the knob in the dimming area enhances the intuitiveness and convenience of operation.

[0052] As a further improvement, the front of the casing also features a customizable function area 5 that connects to the main control board. This area allows users to customize button functions as needed, and includes an OLED button that allows for brightness adjustment via a knob on the dimming area. This allows users to customize button functions according to their requirements, improving the system's customizability and flexibility. The OLED button design also makes operating the customizable function area 5 more intuitive.

[0053] As a further improvement, status display area 2 is also equipped with a backup indicator light; KVM switching area 3 is also equipped with a backup switching button; when a third data processing and monitoring device is added to the main control board, the backup indicator light and backup switching button can be activated. Thus, backup indicator lights and switching buttons are provided for possible device expansion, allowing the system to flexibly adapt to more data processing and monitoring devices, enhancing the system's scalability. Specifically, in this embodiment, the CAN interface is located on the back of the housing, which helps maintain the cleanliness of the front of the ship's display console and also facilitates connection and integration with other devices.

[0054] More specifically, refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the main control board sends the dimming command to the KVM switching module via USB signal. The KVM switching module then sends the dimming command to the mouse and keyboard. The mouse and keyboard parse the dimming information in the USB signal to complete the dimming.

[0055] More specifically, refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the main control board comprises a minimum system, a download and debugging circuit, a CAN interface circuit, a USB interface circuit, an encoder circuit, an OLED circuit, and a driver circuit. The USB interface circuit uses the built-in USB interfaces PA11 and PA12 of the STM32F107V chip to send dimming information from the mouse and keyboard. The encoder circuit uses the built-in ADC interfaces PD3 and PD4 of the STM32F107V chip to receive information from the dimming knob. The download and debugging circuit of the main control board is as follows... Figure 5 As shown. The main control board's CAN communication interface chip uses the domestically produced SM1040, which sends OLED image display information, dimming information from the all-in-one machine and computer, etc., through the CAN interface circuit. The interface circuit design is as follows. Figure 6 As shown. The OLED screen in the customizable function area 5 of the integrated control module uses a HOLB-5YT-9MAP. The main control chip controls the color and brightness of the OLED display image via the SPI bus. The displayed content can be customized by the user and can all be set by software. The OLED circuit design is as follows. Figure 7 As shown. The main control chip issues control commands, which are connected to the indicator lights or buttons that need to be illuminated via the FX2003, enhancing the driving capability. The drive circuit design is as follows. Figure 8 As shown.

[0056] It should be noted that the integrated control principle of the technical solution in this embodiment belongs to the prior art. The improvement and innovation of this embodiment does not lie in the improvement of the control itself, but in applying the relatively mature control technology in the prior art to the shipboard display and control console to form an integrated control module, so that the operators can concentrate on one place on the shipboard display and control console to perform various operations, which is convenient for operation.

[0057] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
