Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of firewall technology, and more specifically, to a handle structure and firewall device. Background Technology
[0002] The market demand for hardware firewalls is becoming increasingly diversified and personalized, with rising requirements for structural scalability. Modular rack-mount products are commonplace, and the need to expand large modules with smaller ones is growing. Simultaneously, module installation and removal require the ability to be done without opening the chassis. However, large modules require handles on both sides, and currently available standard handles are purchased directly; they are one-piece, non-foldable, and quite long, often obstructing the small module panels. If small modules are to be installed on a large module, they cannot be directly plugged in or unplugged; the large module must be removed from the rack, and the handle must be rotated to a fixed position before the small module can be inserted or unplugged. This is not only time-consuming but also increases the risk of poor connector contact due to repeated plugging and unplugging of the large module. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a design with improved operability for the handle structure. Using commercially available non-foldable one-piece handles is problematic. Without removing the large module, small modules cannot be installed or removed, and the handle's length obstructs the small module panels and interfaces, interfering with cables connected to the small modules.

According to the technical solution of the embodiments of this application, the handle structure includes at least: a foldable component, a base component, and a rotating component. The foldable component is connected to the base component through the rotating component. The base component is fixedly connected to the first module of the firewall device. Compared with the non-foldable handles commonly used in the market, it is more convenient and easier to install and operate the modules. It does not require the removal of the entire large module, and each small module can be quickly disassembled and replaced, quickly forming different products, which is flexible and diverse.

[0025] The market demand for hardware firewalls is becoming increasingly diversified and personalized, with rising requirements for structural scalability. Modular rack-mount products are prevalent, and the need to expand large modules with smaller ones is growing. Simultaneously, module installation and removal require the ability to be done without opening the chassis. Since handles are installed on both sides of large modules, and currently available standard handles are purchased directly, are one-piece, non-foldable, and quite long, they often obstruct the small module panels. If small modules are to be installed or removed from large modules, they cannot be directly plugged in or unplugged; the large module must be removed from the rack, and the handle must be rotated to a fixed position before the small module can be inserted or unplugged. This is not only time-consuming but also increases the risk of poor connector contact due to repeated insertion and removal of large modules. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a handle design that improves operability. Using commercially available non-foldable one-piece handles is an option. Without removing the large module, smaller modules cannot be disassembled or installed. The handle is too long and will block the small module's panel and interface, and interfere with the cables plugged into the small module. In view of this, some embodiments of this application provide a handle structure and firewall device. The handle structure includes at least: a foldable component, a base component, and a rotating component. The foldable component is connected to the base component through the rotating component. The base component is fixedly connected to the first module of the firewall device. Compared with the commonly used non-foldable handles on the market, it is more convenient and easier to install and operate the modules. It does not require removing the entire large module, and each small module can be quickly disassembled and replaced, quickly forming different products, which is flexible and diverse.
[0026] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a handle structure, which includes at least: a foldable component 1, a base component 2, and a rotating component 3. The foldable component 1 is connected to the base component 2 through the rotating component 3, and the base component 2 is fixedly connected to the first module of the firewall device.
[0027] This application provides a structure to improve the ease of disassembly and assembly of firewall device modules. The handle structure includes a foldable component, a rotating shaft (rotating component), and a base component. The foldable component is connected to the base via the rotating shaft, and the base component is fixed to the inside of the front panel. Specifically, the foldable component is connected to the base component via a pivot pin, and the base component is fixedly connected to the inside of the large module via a rivet post.
[0028] Some embodiments of this application provide a foldable handle, which, compared with the commonly used non-foldable handles on the market, offers greater convenience and ease of modular installation. It allows for the quick disassembly and replacement of individual small modules without disassembling the entire large module, enabling the rapid formation of different products with flexibility and variety.
[0029] This application provides another embodiment that further supplements the description of the firewall device provided in the above embodiments.
[0030] Optionally, the base component is connected to the bottom of the first module.
[0031] Optionally, the base component is fixedly connected to the bottom tray of the first module.
[0032] Optionally, the base component is fixedly connected to the bottom tray of the first module by rivets.
[0033] Some embodiments of this application allow the first module to be directly removed from and placed into the firewall device by connecting the base component of the folding handle to the bottom tray of the first module, facilitating replacement.
[0034] Alternatively, the foldable component is rotatably connected to the base component via a pivot pin.
[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the foldable component is rotatably connected to the base component via a pivot pin, and the foldable component can be rotated as needed to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the first module and the second module.
[0036] Optionally, the foldable component can be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.
[0037] Optionally, a second module is also installed on the first module, and the second module is fixed to the panel of the first module by screws. The smaller module is fixed to the larger module by hand screws on the panel.
[0038] In some embodiments of this application, when the folding handle is flat, the small module panel and the folding handle interfere with each other. If it is necessary to replace the small module without removing the large module, simply rotate the folding handle upwards by 90 degrees to avoid the interference.
[0039] Optionally, the size of the first module is larger than the size of the second module.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, one or more second modules may be disposed on the surface of the first module, and the second modules may be freely disassembled and assembled.
[0041] The first module is a large module, and the second module is a small module. The number of small modules is not specifically limited in this application.
[0042] This application provides a structure to improve the ease of disassembly and assembly of firewall device modules, including a foldable component, a rotating shaft portion, a base component, a small module, and a large module. The location and description of the folding handle and each module are provided, and the connection between the folding handle and the internal structure of the large module are explained below. Figure 2 As shown. The base component is inserted into the lower end of the front panel of the large module and is connected and fixed to the large module tray by rivets.
[0043] With the folding handle flat, there is interference between the small module panel and the folding handle. If you need to replace the small module without removing the large module, simply rotate the folding handle upwards by 90 degrees to avoid the interference. Figure 3 As shown. To remove a large module by moving the folding handle, simply fold the handle in the opposite direction by 90 degrees, then move the handle to pull out the large module, quickly enabling multiple modules to be interchanged, compatible, and expanded.
[0044] This application provides a structure that improves the ease of disassembly and assembly of firewall device modules. By using a foldable handle, individual small modules can be quickly disassembled and replaced. This allows for simple and quick changes to product configuration and performance, while reducing the number of times large modules need to be disassembled.
[0045] Some embodiments of this application provide a firewall device, including a handle structure of the first aspect.
[0046] Optionally, the firewall device is an 11U rack platform or a 4U rack platform.
[0047] This application provides a structure to improve the ease of disassembly and assembly of firewall device modules. It proposes a novel handle structure to solve problems such as the need to first disconnect the large module when disassembling small modules, and interference between the cables plugged into the small modules and the handle on the large module. Compared with commonly used non-foldable handles on the market, this structure offers greater convenience and ease of module installation. It allows for quick disassembly and replacement of individual small modules without removing the entire large module, enabling rapid creation of different products with greater flexibility. For small modules with multiple network ports, the foldable handle can be flexibly adjusted to avoid interference between the network port cables and the handle, further improving user convenience.
[0048] It should be noted that each of the implementable methods in this embodiment can be implemented individually or in any combination without conflict. This application does not limit this.
