Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, specifically an integrated KVM switch. Background Technology

[0002] In simple terms, a switcher is used to control input and output signals or data, including KVM switches, VGA switches, AV switches, video switchers, HDMI switchers, and DVI switchers. A KVM switcher, or multi-computer switcher, allows system administrators to control the peripheral devices of multiple servers or mainframe computers using a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Besides saving the cost of multiple keyboards and monitors, a switcher can also free up more desktop space.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN216623195U entitled "An Integrated Stable KVM Switch". The patent discloses an integrated stable KVM switch, including: a base, on which a mounting area and a connection area are respectively provided, and a power module is mounted on the connection area; a carrier substrate slidably connected to the mounting area, and a sliding connection assembly is provided on the carrier substrate, the sliding connection assembly including: a slide rail, a slide groove slidably connected to the slide rail, and a locking tongue for locking the slide groove; a keyboard mounted on the carrier substrate, and a touch indicator panel is provided on one side of the keyboard; a display hinged to the carrier substrate, and a movable telescopic component movably connected to the connection area is provided on the side of the carrier substrate near the display, and a support component provided on the connection area for supporting the display.

[0004] The aforementioned patent employs a sliding connection component and a movable telescopic component to stably fix the supporting substrate, preventing the display from shaking during operation and thus improving the stability of the KVM switch. However, when the KVM switch is not in use, it is generally placed inside a storage box for convenient storage and transportation. In existing technology, when the KVM switch needs to be used, it must be removed from its internal storage and then placed back into the storage box, a cumbersome process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated KVM switch to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated KVM switch, comprising a KVM switch body and a support frame for housing the KVM switch body, wherein the KVM switch body is slidably connected to the support frame, and abutment blocks are slidably connected to both sides of the support frame, and a pressure spring is provided between each abutment block and the support frame; a switching component is also provided on the support frame for switching the state of the abutment blocks; and a driving part for driving the KVM switch body to slide vertically is slidably connected to the support frame.

[0007] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on the support frame, and the abutment block is slidably connected to the support frame through the sliding groove, and a pressure spring is installed between the sliding groove and the abutment block.

[0008] Furthermore, the switching component includes a switching block slidably connected to the support frame, and the abutting block has a switching groove, with the switching block abutting against the switching groove.

[0009] Furthermore, there are two abutment blocks on each side of the support frame, and a switching block is slidably connected to each abutment block, and a connecting rod is provided between the two switching blocks.

[0010] Furthermore, a pressure rod is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, the pressure rod is slidably connected to the bearing frame, and a positioning spring is also provided between the pressure rod and the bearing frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the abutment block has an inclined surface, and an elastic block is installed on the inclined surface, which abuts against the KVM switch body.

[0012] Furthermore, the abutment block is provided with a bearing surface, and the KVM switch body is mounted on the abutment block through the bearing surface.

[0013] Furthermore, a carrier plate is vertically slidably connected inside the carrier frame, the KVM switch body is mounted on the carrier plate, the drive unit includes a drive plate fixedly connected to the carrier plate, and a vertical groove is provided on the carrier frame, through which the drive plate is slidably connected to the carrier frame.

[0014] Furthermore, multiple sets of limiting parts are provided between the support plate and the support frame. Each limiting part includes a limiting block fixedly connected to the support plate, and the support frame is provided with a limiting groove that matches the limiting block. The limiting block and the limiting groove are slidably connected.

[0015] Furthermore, multiple sets of spring dampers are provided between the support plate and the support frame.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the integrated KVM switch is not in use, the KVM switch body is located inside the support frame. At this time, the elastic force of the pressure spring drives the abutment blocks to slide out of the support frame, and the bottom of the abutment blocks contacts the top of the KVM switch body, limiting the KVM switch body and thus protecting it. When the KVM switch body is needed, the switching component first drives the abutment blocks to overcome the elastic force of the pressure spring and slide them into the support frame. Then, the drive unit drives the KVM switch body upwards for a certain distance. After releasing the switching component, the elastic force of the pressure spring drives the abutment blocks to slide out of the support frame. At this time, the KVM switch body rests on multiple abutment blocks. Therefore, the multiple abutment blocks provide support for the KVM switch body during use, greatly improving the practicality and effectiveness of the KVM switch body. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated KVM switch, including a KVM switch body 1 and a support frame 2 for housing the KVM switch body 1. The KVM switch body 1 and the support frame 2 are slidably connected. Abutment blocks 3 are slidably connected to both sides of the support frame 2, and a pressure spring 4 is provided between each abutment block 3 and the support frame 2. The support frame 2 is also provided with a switching component for switching the state of the abutment blocks 3. A driving part for driving the KVM switch body 1 to slide vertically is slidably connected to the support frame 2.

[0028] Specifically, this integrated KVM switch, being existing technology, will not have its structure and working principle detailed here. It includes a KVM switch body 1 and a support frame 2 for housing the KVM switch body 1. The support frame 2 houses the KVM switch body 1 and provides support during operation, further enhancing the practicality of the KVM switch body 1. More specifically, the KVM switch body 1 is slidably connected to the support frame 2. When the KVM switch body 1 is needed, it slides out of the support frame 2; when not needed, it retracts back into the support frame 2, meeting operational requirements. Further specifically, abutment blocks 3 are slidably connected to both sides of the support frame 2, and a pressure spring 4 is provided between each abutment block 3 and the support frame 2. Specifically, the elastic force of the pressure spring 4 causes a portion of the abutment block 3 to protrude outside the support frame 2. The support frame 2 is also equipped with a switching component for switching the state of the abutment block 3, thereby adjusting the state of the abutment block 3 according to work requirements. More specifically, a drive unit is slidably connected to the support frame 2 to drive the KVM switch body 1 to slide vertically, providing power for the sliding of the KVM switch body 1. When the KVM switch body 1 is not in use, it is located inside the support frame 2. At this time, under the elastic action of the pressure spring 4, the abutment block 3 is driven to slide out from the support frame 2. At this time, the bottom of the abutment block 3 contacts the top of the KVM switch body 1, limiting the KVM switch body 1 and thus protecting it. When the KVM switch body 1 is needed, the switching component first drives the abutment block 3 to overcome the elastic force of the pressure spring 4 and slide into the support frame 2. Then, the drive unit drives the KVM switch body 1 to move upward a certain distance. After that, the switching component is released, and the elastic force of the pressure spring 4 drives the abutment block 3 to slide out of the support frame 2. At this moment, the KVM switch body 1 rests on multiple abutment blocks 3. Therefore, multiple abutment blocks 3 provide support for the KVM switch body 1 during use, greatly improving the practicality of the KVM switch body 1 and making it more effective.

[0029] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, a sliding groove is provided on the support frame 2, the abutment block 3 is slidably connected to the support frame 2 through the sliding groove, and the pressure spring 4 is installed between the sliding groove and the abutment block 3, which can further improve the stability of the switching block 6 when sliding.

[0030] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the switching component includes a switching block 6 slidably connected to the support frame 2, and a switching groove 5 is provided on the abutment block 3. The switching block 6 abuts against the switching groove 5. Specifically, the switching block 6 is a wedge-shaped block, and the switching groove 5 is a wedge-shaped groove. Therefore, when the switching block 6 abuts against the switching groove 5, if the switching block 6 is driven to slide downward, it will be driven to slide into the support frame 2. The switching block 6 can then release the restriction on the KVM switch body 1, thereby driving the KVM switch body 1 to move upward to meet the working requirements.

[0031] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, there are two abutment blocks 3 on each side of the support frame 2, and a switching block 6 is slidably connected to each abutment block 3. This further improves the stability of the KVM switch body 1 during installation. Simultaneously, when the KVM switch body 1 is installed on the abutment blocks 3, the multiple abutment blocks 3 provide better support for the KVM switch body 1, improving its operational stability. A connecting rod 7 is provided between the two switching blocks 6. A pressure rod 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 7 and slidably connected to the support frame 2, thereby better driving the two abutment blocks 3 on the same side to move synchronously, resulting in better performance. A positioning spring is also provided between the pressure rod 8 and the support frame 2, further improving the stability of the pressure rod 8 and meeting operational requirements.

[0032] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the abutment block 3 has an inclined surface, and an elastic block 32 is installed on the inclined surface. The elastic block 32 abuts against the KVM switch body 1. More specifically, when the abutment block 3 contacts the KVM switch body 1, the elastic block 32 also abuts against the KVM switch body 1, thus squeezing the KVM switch body 1 and improving the stability of the KVM switch body 1 during installation. Specifically, the elastic block 32 is made of elastic material, which serves to protect the KVM switch body 1.

[0033] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the abutment block 3 is provided with a bearing surface 31, and the KVM switch body 1 is installed on the abutment block 3 through the bearing surface 31. That is, when the KVM switch body 1 is in normal use, the KVM switch body 1 contacts the abutment block 3 through the bearing surface 31. Preferably, the bearing surface 31 is provided with anti-slip stripes to further increase the friction between the bearing surface 31 and the KVM switch body 1, thereby improving the stability of the KVM switch body 1 during installation.

[0034] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, a support plate 9 is vertically slidably connected inside the support frame 2, the KVM switch body 1 is mounted on the support plate 9, the driving part includes a driving plate 11 fixedly connected to the support plate 9, and a vertical groove 12 is provided on the support frame 2. The driving plate 11 is slidably connected to the support frame 2 through the vertical groove 12, which facilitates driving the KVM switch body 1 to move upward to a predetermined position and then fixing the KVM switch body 1 to meet the working requirements.

[0035] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, multiple sets of limiting parts are provided between the support plate 9 and the support frame 2. The limiting part includes a limiting block 10 fixedly connected to the support plate 9, and a limiting groove adapted to the limiting block 10 is provided on the support frame 2. The limiting block 10 is slidably connected to the limiting groove, which further improves the stability of the KVM switch body 1 when sliding and plays the role of protecting the KVM switch body 1.

[0036] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, multiple sets of spring dampers 13 are provided between the support plate 9 and the support frame 2. When the KVM switch body 1 retracts into the support frame 2, it is subjected to the squeezing action of the abutment block 3. With the use of multiple spring dampers 13, the KVM switch body 1 is buffered, which facilitates the transportation of the KVM switch body 1.

[0037] It should be noted that all electrical equipment involved in this application can be powered by batteries or external power sources.
