Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data communication technology, specifically to a communication module for high-speed active unlocking in data centers. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the core pillars of modern information society, cable communication technology has become one of the main technologies for global information transmission since its development in the 1970s. Its technological innovation has always revolved around the comprehensive improvement of communication speed, transmission distance, stability, and compatibility.

[0003] The basic principle of cable communication is to achieve high-speed signal transmission by utilizing the total internal reflection property of light in an optical medium (usually quartz cable). Compared with traditional copper cable communication, cable has significant advantages: its transmission bandwidth is extremely wide, supporting various standards from low-speed voice to ultra-high-speed data; optical signal attenuation is extremely low, enabling ultra-long-distance repeater-free transmission; and it also has strong resistance to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for complex industrial environments and high-precision scenarios. These characteristics make it a key technology for long-distance trunk communication, metropolitan area networks, and access networks. With the continuous expansion of communication scale, the integration and modular design of cable communication modules have become important development directions. By encapsulating core functions such as light source driving, photoelectric conversion, signal modulation and demodulation, and temperature compensation into independent units, modular design effectively improves the flexibility of system deployment and the convenience of maintenance. For example, the application of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology allows a single cable to carry dozens or even hundreds of wavelength channels, driving the single-channel rate from the initial Mb / s level to the current Tb / s level. At the same time, the maturity of optical communication technology has further improved spectral efficiency and transmission distance, becoming the mainstream solution for ultra-high-speed long-distance transmission.

[0004] Existing cable communication modules rely solely on passive unlocking to complete the module unlocking operation. When the unlocking mechanism becomes stuck due to external deformation or long-term wear, it may cause unlocking failure, requiring disassembly and maintenance with special tools, which increases the difficulty of maintenance and the time cost of the work. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a communication module for high-speed active unlocking in data centers, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A communication module for high-speed active unlocking in data centers includes a pull ring, an unlocking component, a spring, an unlocking fixing cover, a base, a cable assembly, and a top cover. The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the base and the unlocking component, respectively. The unlocking component is located at one end of the base, and one end of the pull ring is located inside the unlocking component. The unlocking fixing cover is detachably connected to the base, one end of the cable assembly is located inside the base, and the top cover is detachably connected to the base.

[0008] The above technical solution involves setting an unlocking component at one end of the base and a pull ring at one end inside the unlocking component. Pulling the pull ring allows the unlocking component to unlock quickly and actively, simplifying the operation steps, reducing the difficulty of operation, and improving the efficiency of unlocking.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a fixing groove and a limiting groove are provided at one end of the base, the unlocking component is set in the fixing groove, and the limiting groove is used to limit the position of the unlocking component.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the unlocking component includes an unlocking body, two positioning posts and an unlocking point. The unlocking point is fixedly connected to the unlocking body. The two positioning posts are symmetrically arranged and fixedly connected to both sides of the unlocking body. The two positioning posts are set in the limiting groove.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that the cable assembly includes a cable and a PCB board, with one end of the PCB board soldered to one end of the cable.

[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes a cable sheath, which is coaxially arranged with the cable and disposed between the base and the top cover.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes a spring clip, which is detachably connected to the base. The spring clip is used to fix the module in the switch cage to prevent it from loosening up, down, left, or right.

[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes two screws, which are detachably connected to the base and the top cover.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0016] The unlocking mechanism is located at one end of the base, and the pull ring is located inside the unlocking mechanism. Pulling the pull ring allows the unlocking mechanism to quickly and actively unlock, simplifying the operation. By releasing the pull ring, the unlocking mechanism returns to its initial position under the action of the spring, and the pull ring also returns to its initial position under the action of the inclined plane, finally returning to the locked state. This reduces the difficulty of operation, increases the speed of unlocking and locking, and thus significantly improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a communication module for high-speed active unlocking in data centers, including: a pull ring 1, an unlocking component 2, a spring 3, an unlocking fixing cover 4, a base 5, a cable assembly 6, and a top cover 10. The spring 3 is fixedly connected at both ends to the base 5 and the unlocking component 2, respectively. The unlocking component 2 is installed at one end of the base 5. One end of the pull ring 1 is located inside the unlocking component 2. The unlocking fixing cover 4 is detachably connected to the base 5. One end of the cable assembly 6 is located inside the base 5. The top cover 10 is detachably connected to the base 5. The pull ring 1 is made of PA66, or polyamide 66, a high-performance engineering plastic obtained by the polycondensation reaction of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. PA66 has a density between 1.13-1.15 g / cm³, low water absorption, and an equilibrium water absorption rate of approximately 2.5%. Its melting point is as high as 252℃, allowing it to operate under continuous heat resistance conditions of 80-120℃. PA66 possesses outstanding tensile and flexural strength, typically between 50-80 MPa, with an elongation at break of 2-4%, exhibiting excellent toughness and impact resistance. Furthermore, PA66 demonstrates excellent resistance to most chemicals, including acids, alkalis, lubricants, fuels, and many solvents. Therefore, the pull ring 1 made of PA66 material can adapt to a wider range of operating environments, extending the lifespan of the communication module. One end of the pull ring 1 is equipped with anti-slip textures, increasing friction between the pull ring and the operator's hand during use, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0031] The unlocking component 2 is made of zinc alloy. Because zinc alloy has high wear resistance and corrosion resistance, it can further extend the service life of the communication module during use.

[0032] The cable assembly 6 includes a cable 61 and a PCB board 62, with one end of the PCB board 62 soldered to one end of the cable 61. When connecting the cable 61 and the PCB board 62, firstly, professional wire strippers are used to treat the cable's outer sheath, ground wire, and aluminum foil shielding surface. Then, copper wires are soldered to the PCB board 62. Finally, a spot jig injection molding method is used to fix the PCB board 62 and the cable 61, ensuring complete solidification of the connection and insulation from the outside environment.

[0033] The communication module also includes two screws 11, which are fixedly connected to the base 5 and the top cover 10. The function of the two screws 11 is to make the connection between the top cover 10 and the base 5 tighter after the top cover 10 is connected to the base 5, thereby making the PCB board 62 more securely installed.

[0034] The main function of the unlocking cover 4 is to restrict the pull ring 1 and the unlocking piece 2 to one end of the base 5. Both the base 5 and the top cover 10 have slots inside for the front and rear ends of the cable assembly 6 to be placed. When the cable assembly 6 is placed into the slot inside the base 5, the top cover 10 is snapped into the preset position on the base 5. Since the slot structure inside the top cover 10 and the base 5 is adapted to the shape of the PCB board in the cable assembly 6, when the top cover 10 and the base 5 are closed, the multiple triangular protrusions inside the top cover 10 and the base 5 can fully contact the cable 61. Under the joint fixing action of the top cover 10 and the screw 11, the tips of the triangular protrusions can be embedded in the outer sheath of the cable 61, thereby restricting the position of the cable assembly 6 and preventing it from shifting due to external pulling during use.

[0035] One end of the base 5 has a fixing groove 51, a limiting groove 52, and a limiting post 53. The unlocking component 2 is set in the fixing groove 51. The limiting groove 52 is used to limit the position of the unlocking component 2, and at the same time, it can ensure that when the unlocking component 2 is unlocked, one end moves downward while the other end remains in the same position, thus ensuring the normal operation of the unlocking function. The shape of the fixing groove 51 is adapted to the shape of the unlocking component 2. The spring 3 is set in the fixing groove 51, with one end connected to the unlocking component 2 and the other end fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing groove 51, ensuring that when unlocking is not required, the unlocking component 2 returns to the locked state under the action of the spring 3. Pulling the pull ring 1 away from the cable 61 end, the limiting post 53 limits the unlocking stroke of the pull ring 1 and prevents the pull ring 1 from exceeding the limited range of movement during use, causing the unlocking component 2 to lose its locking and unlocking ability.

[0036] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the communication module also includes a cable sheath 8, which is coaxially arranged with the cable 61 and positioned between the base 5 and the top cover 10. The cable sheath 8 primarily prevents the cable 61 from rubbing against the base 5 or the top cover 10, thus preventing damage to the external structure of the cable 61 and affecting the effective transmission of data. The cable sheath 8 uses TPU material. TPU, short for thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, is an innovative material between rubber and plastic. PU material has high elasticity and resilience, allowing it to quickly return to its original shape after being subjected to external force. It also has good abrasion resistance, tear resistance, cold resistance, and chemical resistance, maintaining stable performance during long-term use.

[0037] The communication module also includes a spring clip 9, which is detachably connected to the base 5. The spring clip 9 is mainly used to prevent the switch cage from shifting up, down, left, or right after the upper cover 10 is installed, thus preventing it from affecting the stability of the PCB board 62 and impacting data communication. Because one end of the spring clip 9 is designed with a claw shape and is made of SUS304 (304 stainless steel), it provides good elasticity after being installed with the base 5, thus actively reinforcing the module and preventing it from shifting up, down, left, or right within the switch cage.

[0038] like Figures 8-9 As shown, the unlocking component 2 includes an unlocking body 21, two positioning posts 22, and an unlocking point 23. The unlocking point 23 is fixedly connected to the unlocking body 21. The two positioning posts 22 are symmetrically arranged and fixedly connected to both sides of the unlocking body 21, and are positioned within a limiting groove 52. After the two positioning posts 22 are placed within the limiting groove 52, the unlocking fixing cover 4, once installed, can restrict the two positioning posts 22 within the limiting groove 52, preventing them from detaching during use and affecting the use of the unlocking component 2. The end of the pull ring 1 that contacts the unlocking body 21 is set as an inclined surface. During the unlocking operation, by pulling one end of the pull ring 1, the other end of the pull ring 1 slides upward on the inclined surface of the unlocking body 21. Under the restriction of the unlocking fixing cover 4, the unlocking point 23 of the unlocking component 2 moves downward, thereby achieving the function of active unlocking.

[0039] The working principle of this communication module for high-speed active unlocking in data centers will be explained in detail below.

[0040] like Figures 1-9As shown, during assembly, spring 3 is placed in the fixing groove 51, and then unlocking component 2 is assembled into the limiting groove 52, matching the shape of the limiting groove 52. Then, pull ring 1 is placed in the assembly groove of unlocking component 2, and finally, unlocking fixing cover 4 is placed on a special assembly fixture. Unlocking fixing cover 4 is pushed towards the PCB board end. When unlocking fixing cover 4 is assembled into the preset position, it will enter the locking position, making it stably connected to the base 5. Then, professional wire strippers are used to treat the outer sheath, ground wire, and aluminum foil shielding surface of the cable. Then, the loose tube cable is soldered to the PCB board 62. Finally, the PCB board 62 and cable 61 are fixed by injection molding using a spot fixture, so that the connection between the two is completely solidified and insulated from the outside. Further, cable 61 is passed through cable sheath 8, and then the fixed cable assembly 6 is placed in the base 5. The top cover 10 is covered, so that it is adapted to the shape of both the base 5 and the PCB board 62. Then, two screws 11 are installed in the screw holes of the top cover 10 and the base 5, so that the connection between the top cover 10 and the base 5 is tighter. After the top cover 10 and base 5 are closed, the multiple triangular protrusions inside the top cover 10 and base 5 can fully contact the cable 61. With the combined fixing effect of the top cover 10 and screw 11, the tips of the triangular protrusions can embed into the outer sheath of the cable 61, thus restricting the position of the cable assembly 6 and preventing it from shifting due to external pulling during use. Finally, the spring clip 9 is installed in the position of the top cover 10 after the screw 11 is installed. This fixes the module loosely in the switch cage, preventing it from affecting the stability of the PCB board 62 and impacting data communication.

[0041] When unlocking, by pulling the pull ring 1 away from the cable 61 end, the inclined surface at the other end, which contacts the unlocking component 2, causes the unlocking point 23 of the unlocking component 2 to sink, thus forming an unlocked state. By releasing the tension of the pull ring 1, the unlocking component 2 will return to its initial position under the action of the spring 3. At the same time, the pull ring 1 will also return to its initial position under the action of the inclined surface, finally returning to the locked state.

[0042] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
