Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network security equipment technology, and specifically to a storage terminal for a network security device. Background Technology

[0002] In a network security system, storage terminals serve as core nodes for data interaction and information storage. The stability, security, and ease of maintenance of their interface connections directly impact the overall operational performance of the device. With the diversification of network attack methods, the physical interfaces of storage terminals not only need to meet the demands of high-speed data transmission but also require capabilities against loosening, unauthorized insertion, and environmental protection.

[0003] In existing technologies, the storage terminal interfaces of network security devices mostly adopt a fixed structure design, with interface modules connected to the device housing through welding or integrated molding. While this design ensures basic connection strength, subsequent maintenance or interface module replacement requires complete disassembly of the device, a complex process that can easily cause secondary damage to the internal circuitry. Furthermore, the connection between the interface and external devices largely relies on traditional plug-and-play mechanisms, lacking effective locking mechanisms, which can easily lead to poor contact in vibration environments, even causing data transmission interruptions.

[0004] Furthermore, while most existing devices use standardized connector designs, some high-end storage manufacturers (such as EMC and NetApp) use proprietary specifications to protect their technological barriers. This results in storage terminals' conventional interfaces being unable to connect to the device, requiring the purchase of adapters separately, increasing procurement costs and affecting the normal use of the device.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage terminal connector that is easy to install, securely locked, and compatible with various connector specifications. Utility Model Content

[0006] Based on the above description, this utility model provides a storage terminal for a network security device to solve the problems of existing storage terminals with their multi-unit structure assembly, which not only makes maintenance and replacement troublesome, but also makes the interface unable to be adjusted according to actual needs, especially unable to be used with some non-standard connectors, thus affecting normal use.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A storage terminal for a network security device includes a housing. A mounting groove is provided on the side wall of the housing, and an interface module is fixedly installed within the mounting groove. One inward-facing end of the interface module has gold fingers that are inserted into a slot on a circuit board inside the housing for adaptation and connection. Multiple limiting grooves are arranged on the outward-facing end face of the interface module. Each limiting groove has a connection port electrically connected to the interface module. Each limiting groove also has a set of locking components, the end face of which is tightly fitted against the bottom surface of the connection port.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with a guide slide groove, the interface module is set as a rectangle and has protrusions on both sides respectively, the protrusions are movably assembled with the guide slide groove, and the two sides of the end face of the interface module are also provided with flanges and are locked and fixed to the end face of the box by bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes multiple spring rods disposed inside the interface module, with the top ends extending upwards into the limiting groove. The top ends of the multiple spring rods are connected to a circular positioning plate, and a metal interface is provided at the center of the circular positioning plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting groove is configured as a cylindrical groove, the lower half of the connecting port has a cylindrical structure and a gap with the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the inner side wall of the limiting groove is also provided with an arc-shaped slot, and the outer side wall at the bottom of the connecting port is provided with a locking block that unfolds outward and engages with the inside of the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, a storage groove is provided on the lower half of the outer wall of the connection port. The storage groove is arc-shaped and has a hinge shaft at one end. The hinge shaft is movably connected to the front end of the card block. A return spring is provided at the other end of the storage groove. The other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the tail end of the card block. When the return spring contracts, the card block completely retracts into the storage groove.

[0014] Furthermore, a rectangular sealing plate is provided on the outer wall of the upper half of the connection port. The sealing plate is movably connected to the connection port through a ball bearing, and the top surface of the limiting groove extends to all four sides to form a rectangular sealing groove. When the connection port is inserted into the interface module, the sealing plate and the sealing groove fit tightly together.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the sealing groove and the end face of the positioning plate are sealed and assembled through an annular groove structure.

[0016] Furthermore, the interface module is also equipped with a continuity sensor for detecting the connection port, and indicator lights are also arranged at intervals around the end face of each limiting groove.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] This application improves upon existing storage terminal equipment by modularizing the interface module and connection port. This modular design allows for quick assembly and disassembly via a flexible structure, which also clamps and secures the connection, effectively ensuring stability during connection. Furthermore, the modular connection port design enables hot-swapping and allows for real-time adjustment of the port type as needed. This is particularly beneficial when connecting devices with unconventional interfaces, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire storage terminal or purchase adapters separately. This allows for rapid replacement with the corresponding interface, expanding the applicability of the storage terminal and enhancing ease of use. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0025] Combination Figure 1-3As shown, a storage terminal for a network security device includes:

[0026] The enclosure 1, or cabinet structure, can refer to existing storage terminals such as TerraMaster D2-320 dual disk array cabinet and ZOYET fireproof file cabinet - ZYD series. The enclosure 1 is only its outer shell, and its shape can be changed according to needs. The internal structure can directly adopt the internal circuit of the above-mentioned equipment.

[0027] The mounting slot 11 is located on one side or the back of the housing 1, is rectangular, and has a guide groove on the inner side wall. Its end face is formed by extending to the four sides to form a stepped surface.

[0028] Interface module 2 is located inside mounting slot 11 and is connected to slot on the internal circuit of housing 1 through gold fingers on interface module 2. At the same time, a flange is provided on the other side of interface module 2, and the flange is locked and fixed to housing 1 by bolts.

[0029] Connection port 3 is provided with multiple ports, and the end that connects to external devices is configured with various models and specifications. Its main body is movably inserted into the interface module 2. By communicating with the interface module 2, the external device can be connected to the circuit inside the storage terminal.

[0030] Locking component 4 is disposed inside the limiting groove 21 on the end face of interface module 2 to enhance the stability of the connection between connection port 3 and interface module 2;

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, interface module 2 is set as a rectangle and has the following components installed inside:

[0032] Signal processing circuitry; responsible for processing signals received and transmitted at the port, such as signal amplification, shaping, encoding, and decoding. For example, it converts electrical signals into optical signals for transmission through optical fibers, or converts optical signals into electrical signals for internal circuit processing, ensuring signal accuracy and stability, and reducing interference and bit error rate during transmission.

[0033] The control circuit manages the operating status of interface module 2 and coordinates communication with other modules within the storage array. Based on received instructions, it controls the data transmission direction and rate, and performs handshake operations with other modules, enabling the configuration and monitoring of interface module 2.

[0034] Power supply circuitry provides a stable power supply to the various components within interface module 2, ensuring their normal operation. Power supply circuitry typically includes voltage conversion and filtering functions, converting the power supplied by the storage array into a voltage suitable for the operation of the chips and circuits within the module.

[0035] Buffer circuit; some interface modules 2 may also include a buffer circuit for temporary data storage. When data transmission rates are inconsistent, the buffer can act as a buffer to prevent data loss or congestion, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of data transmission.

[0036] Connection port 3 is used as the port of this module. Both connection port 3 and interface module 2 are modularized. Connection port 3 is designed in various sizes to facilitate quick replacement. This modular structure is suitable for later maintenance and upgrades, and can also be used to connect to devices with non-standard connectors.

[0037] Based on this, multiple limiting slots 21 should be provided on the outer end face of the interface module 2, and the multiple limiting slots 21 should be arranged in a rectangular array. Each limiting slot 21 is set as a circular hole, and a metal interface 24 is provided inside the limiting slot 21. The lower half of the connection port 3 is set as a cylindrical structure and is inserted into the limiting slot 21 and communicates with the metal interface 24. The metal interface 24 is connected to the circuit inside the interface module 2 by means of a wire.

[0038] In actual production, certain errors may occur during the machining of holes, especially when the holes are too deep. In such cases, the structure cannot guarantee a tight seal between the metal structure and the connecting port 3. Therefore, the operator should ensure that the depth of the limiting groove 21 is greater than the lower half length of the connecting port 3.

[0039] Based on this, a locking assembly 4 is used for cooperation, that is, the locking assembly 4 includes multiple spring rods 41 provided on the bottom surface of the limiting groove 21, the top ends of the multiple spring rods 41 all extend upward and are connected to a circular positioning plate 42, and the metal interface 24 is arranged exactly at the center of the circular positioning plate 42.

[0040] In addition, a slot 23 is provided on the inner side wall of the limiting groove 21. The slot 23 is arc-shaped and has three slots arranged around it. Correspondingly, a storage slot 43 is provided on the lower half side wall of the connection port 3. The front end of the storage slot 43 is movably connected to a block 44 through a hinge shaft. The tail end of the block 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage slot 43 through a return spring. Therefore, when the return spring retracts, the block 44 can retract into the storage slot 43, so that the lower half of the connection port 3 can be smoothly inserted into the limiting groove 21. Then, the block 44 unfolds outward, so that it is locked into the slot 23. With the help of the spring rod 41 at the bottom, it pushes and finally fixes the connection port 3 inside the interface module 2.

[0041] Furthermore, in the above structure, since the auxiliary connection is achieved by pushing with the spring rod 41, even if the equipment vibrates frequently, the metal interface 24 can always be electrically connected to the bottom of the connection port 3, and the fit is tight, so that there will be no poor contact due to looseness.

[0042] When performing regular maintenance or replacing the connection port 3, the staff can rotate the connection port 3 to make the card block 44 squeezed by the arc-shaped inner wall of the card slot 23, and finally retract it into the storage slot 43. Then, the bottom spring rod 41 pushes it upward to the limit slot 21. The staff can complete the operation with one hand without the need to use screwdrivers or other tools, which is very convenient.

[0043] In addition, a rectangular sealing plate 45 is provided on the outer wall of the upper half of the connection port 3. The sealing plate 45 is movably connected to the connection port 3 through a ball bearing, and the top surface of the limiting groove 21 extends to the four sides to form a rectangular sealing groove 22. When the connection port 3 is inserted into the interface module 2, the sealing plate 45 and the sealing groove 22 fit tightly to form a limiting fixation. At the same time, an annular groove sealing structure is provided between the two. This insertion method is used to seal the connection part to prevent external dust from entering the equipment.

[0044] The interface module 2 should also be equipped with a continuity sensor (preferably TMR7608) for detecting the continuity of the connection port 3, and each of the limiting grooves 21 is also surrounded by indicator lights at intervals. By monitoring the continuity resistance in real time, the good contact can be determined in turn: the impedance is extremely low (<1Ω) when the connection is normal, and the impedance increases (or even breaks the circuit) when the contact is poor. When a fault occurs, the staff will be alerted so that the connection port 3 can be replaced accordingly.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
