Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch accessories technology, and in particular to a computer switch protection device with a hardware encryption module. Background Technology

[0002] A switch (also known as a switching hub) is a network device used for forwarding electrical (optical) signals. It provides a dedicated electrical signal path for any two network nodes connected to the switch. The function of a switch can be understood as connecting machines to form a local area network (LAN). A hardware encryption module is a terminal data encryption and decryption device that can interface with various data terminals. It sits between the data terminal and the untrusted network, providing seamless data encryption and decryption transmission services for data terminals lacking security features. In current technology, hardware encryption modules are installed inside the switch to improve its security performance.

[0003] After a switch is equipped with a hardware encryption module, electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the module's chip must be avoided during installation and use. While existing technologies can connect the switch to power to prevent it from carrying static electricity, during installation and debugging, staff need to plug the network cable into the switch. These staff members may carry static electricity, and if they do not discharge it before contacting the switch, it can still cause ESD damage to the switch and the hardware encryption module's chip.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a computer switch protection device with a hardware encryption module to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a computer switch protection device with a hardware encryption module to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a computer switch protection device with a hardware encryption module, comprising a switch body and a fixed base installed on the outside of the switch body. The fixed base is U-shaped, with connecting seats fixedly provided at both top ends of the fixed base. A connecting rod is provided between the two connecting seats, and the two ends of the connecting rod are rotatably provided at the top ends of the two connecting seats. A torsion spring is fixedly provided at both ends of the connecting rod, and one end of the torsion spring is fixedly provided on the outside of the connecting seat. A metal cover is fixedly provided in the middle of the connecting rod, and the metal cover is U-shaped. A terminal block is fixedly provided at one end of the upper surface of the metal cover, and a ground wire is sleeved on the outside of the terminal block. Elastic blocks are fixedly provided at both ends of the lower surface of the fixed base. A protrusion is fixedly provided in the middle of the upper surface of the elastic block, and the outside of the protrusion is inclined. A slot is provided at both ends of the lower surface of the metal cover, and the slot is adapted to the elastic block. A wire pressing block is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the metal cover. Multiple first wire grooves and second wire grooves are provided on the outside of the fixed base.

[0007] Preferably, all of the plurality of first grooves are configured as strip structures, and all of the plurality of second grooves are configured as arc structures, with one end of each adjacent first groove and second groove being flush.

[0008] Preferably, the pressure block is configured as an "L" shape, with one end of the pressure block coinciding with the inner wall of the first groove and the other end of the pressure block coinciding with the inner wall of the second groove.

[0009] Preferably, the top two sides of the fixing base are provided with arc-shaped grooves, and the top of the inner top of the grooves is provided with arc-shaped extension grooves.

[0010] Preferably, positioning rods are fixedly provided at the top of both sides of the metal cover, and the bottom end of the positioning rod is provided with an insertion hole, and an insertion rod is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0012] Preferably, the outer surface of the metal cover is provided with a plurality of through slots running horizontally through it.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model sets up a fixed base and a metal cover. The fixed base is installed on the outside of the main body of the switch, and the metal cover is rotatably installed on the outside of the fixed base. During the installation and debugging of the switch, the staff needs to flip the metal cover to open it in order to make contact with the switch. During this process, the static electricity carried by the staff can be released through the metal cover and the ground wire, thereby avoiding the problem of the switch and hardware encryption module chip being damaged due to the staff directly contacting the switch without releasing static electricity, thus improving the security of the switch during use.

[0015] 2. This utility model, by setting up a wire clamping block, a first wire groove, and a second wire groove, allows the first and second wire grooves to guide network cables connected to the two vertical interfaces on the switch, respectively. After the metal cover is closed, the wire clamping block can press the network cable into the first and second wire grooves, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the network cable to prevent the network cable from being pulled and damaged by the switch interface. At the same time, the metal mesh can protect the switch interface, further improving the security performance of the switch. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-7 The computer switch protection device with hardware encryption module shown includes a switch body 1 and a fixed base 2 installed on the outside of the switch body 1. The fixed base 2 is U-shaped. Connecting seats 3 are fixedly provided at the top of both sides of the fixed base 2. A connecting rod 4 is provided between the two connecting seats 3. The two ends of the connecting rod 4 are rotatably provided at the top of the two connecting seats 3. Torsion springs are fixedly provided at both ends of the connecting rod 4. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly provided on the outside of the connecting seat 3. A metal cover 5 is fixedly provided in the middle of the connecting rod 4. The metal cover 5 is U-shaped. A terminal block 6 is fixedly provided at one end of the upper surface of the metal cover 5. A ground wire 7 is sleeved on the outside of the terminal block 6. The torsion spring provides a downward rotation force for the metal cover 5, so that the metal cover 5 can automatically rotate downward after the user finishes the operation.

[0026] Both ends of the lower surface of the fixed base 2 are fixedly provided with elastic blocks 8, and the upper surface of the elastic block 8 is fixedly provided with a protrusion 9. The outer side of the protrusion 9 is set with an inclined structure. Both ends of the lower surface of the metal cover 5 are provided with slots 10, and the slots 10 are adapted to the elastic blocks 8. The elastic blocks 8 limit the metal cover 5 through the protrusion 9 and the slots 10. It should be noted that the method of limiting the metal cover 5 by means of elastic blocks 8, protrusions 9 and slots 10 in this embodiment is a conventional means in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] The bottom of the metal cover 5 is fixed with a wire pressing block 11, and the outer side of the fixing base 2 is provided with a plurality of first wire grooves 12 and second wire grooves 13. The first wire grooves 12 and second wire grooves 13 correspond to the network cables connected to the upper and lower sets of interfaces on the outer side of the switch body 1, respectively.

[0028] Multiple first wire grooves 12 are all designed as strip structures, and multiple second wire grooves 13 are all designed as arc structures. One end of two adjacent first wire grooves 12 and second wire grooves 13 is flush with each other. The wire clamping block 11 is designed as an "L" shape. One end of the wire clamping block 11 coincides with the inner wall of the first wire groove 12, and the other end of the wire clamping block 11 coincides with the inner wall of the second wire groove 13. The wire clamping block 11 cooperates with the inner walls of the first wire groove 12 and the second wire groove 13 to clamp the network cable.

[0029] Both sides of the fixed base 2 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 14 at the top, and the inside of the grooves 14 is provided with arc-shaped extension grooves 15. Both sides of the metal cover 5 are fixed with positioning rods 16. The bottom of the positioning rods 16 is provided with insertion holes, and a rod 17 is inserted into the insertion holes. The grooves 14 and extension grooves 15 are adapted to the rod 17. One end of the rod 17 is fixed with a positioning ring 18. A tension spring 19 is provided between the positioning ring 18 and the positioning rod 16. The tension spring 19 is used to apply a force to the rod 17 in the direction of insertion into the grooves 14 and extension grooves 15.

[0030] Multiple through slots 20 are horizontally and sequentially provided on the outer side of the metal cover 5. The through slots 20 are used to facilitate staff to observe the interface of the main body 1 of the switch.

[0031] Working principle of this utility model:

[0032] When using this device, the mounting base 2 is installed on the outside of the switch body 1 by bolts and other fasteners. The metal cover 5 is installed on the outside of the mounting base 2 by the connecting rod 4 and the connecting base 3. The switch body 1 is installed on the rack by bolts and other fasteners. The ground wire 7 is connected to the metal cover 5 by the terminal block 6. The hardware encryption module is directly integrated inside the switch body 1. When wiring and debugging the switch body 1, the elastic block 8 is pressed to deform it downwards. The elastic block 8 drives the protrusion 9 to move downwards, so that the protrusion 9 separates from the slot of the slot 10. At this time, the limit of the metal cover 5 is released. Then, the metal cover 5 is flipped upwards to separate it from the bottom of the mounting base 2, so that the wiring and debugging of the switch body 1 can be performed. During this process, the staff needs to touch the metal cover 5 before they can touch the switch body 1. When the staff touches the metal cover 5, the static electricity carried by the staff is guided and released through the ground wire 7 to avoid the static electricity being transmitted to the switch body 1 and causing the hardware encryption module chip to be electrostatically damaged.

[0033] During the opening of the metal cover 5, the metal cover 5 drives the connecting rod 4 to rotate. During this process, the connecting rod 4 is constantly subjected to the action of a torsion spring, causing the metal cover 5 to always experience a downward force. As the metal cover 5 flips, it drives the positioning rod 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the insertion rod 17 to rotate, causing the insertion rod 17 to slide within the slide groove 14. When the metal cover 5 flips to a certain angle, the insertion rod 17 slides to the extension groove 15 and, under the action of the tension spring 19, inserts into the extension groove 15. At this point, the insertion rod 17 and the positioning rod 16 can restrict the metal cover 5 from rotating downwards. At this time, the back of the worker's hand can touch the metal cover. 5. The fit is close and does not affect the insertion of the network cable into the interface of the switch body 1, thus ensuring the anti-static effect of the device. After the wiring is completed, the two network cables corresponding to the two vertical interfaces on the switch body 1 are guided into the first cable tray 12 and the second cable tray 13 respectively. Then, pull one end of the plug rod 17 to separate it from the extension slot 15. At this time, the metal cover 5 is reset under the action of the torsion spring. Press the metal cover 5 so that the bottom slot 10 squeezes the protrusion 9. The protrusion 9 is squeezed and drives the elastic block 8 to deform. At this time, the metal cover 5 is reset. The elastic block 8 drives the protrusion 9 to reset and limits the metal cover 5.

[0034] During the resetting process, the metal cover 5 drives the wire pressing block 11 to move. The two ends of the wire pressing block 11 respectively squeeze the network wires in the first wire groove 12 and the second wire groove 13, so that the network wires in the first wire groove 12 and the second wire groove 13 are clamped, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the network wires.

[0035] It should be noted that the switch body 1 and the hardware encryption module in this embodiment both adopt the corresponding structures in the prior art. The technical solution in this embodiment is used to avoid the problem of electrostatic damage to the equipment caused by the staff directly contacting the switch body 1 without releasing static electricity. Furthermore, the metal cover 5 in this embodiment can not only act as electrostatic protection, but also directly protect the interface of the switch body 1.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
