Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch cabinet technology, specifically a switch cabinet with physically locked network ports. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of informatization and networking, a large number of network switching devices are widely deployed in data centers, enterprise computer rooms, and various communication infrastructures. These devices are usually installed in standard cabinets, and their network ports (such as RJ45, SFP, etc.) play a core role in ensuring business continuity and network connectivity as key physical interfaces for data communication. However, due to their exposure and accessibility, these ports are also highly susceptible to malicious attacks, unauthorized access, misoperation, and even physical damage. Especially in scenarios where multiple people share a computer room or where maintenance personnel frequently operate the system, switch ports are often left open for extended periods, lacking effective physical protection mechanisms and posing significant security risks.
[0003] Currently, some security solutions attempt to enhance port access control through software-level techniques (such as MAC address binding, 802.1X authentication, and port security policies). While these methods can prevent unauthorized access at the logical layer to some extent, they cannot effectively defend against physical threats targeting ports, such as malicious plugging and unplugging, short-circuiting, hardware replacement, or direct damage. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a switch cabinet with physically locked network ports. To solve the above problems, through the setting of security components, an NFC card reader can be used to identify authorized cards and control the electromagnetic lock to turn on and off, thereby unlocking and locking the baffle. When the baffle is closed, cable slots are used to restrict plug operation, effectively preventing unauthorized contact or tampering.

The safety component includes: two baffles between each heat dissipation mesh and each base plate; NFC card readers installed on both sides of each of the multiple base plates; a microcontroller installed inside each of the multiple base plates; a MOSFET circuit board installed inside each of the multiple base plates; mounting cavities corresponding to the number of baffles opened inside the cabinet; and electromagnetic locks installed inside each of the multiple mounting cavities.
[0006] Preferably, the electromagnetic lock is provided with a locking tongue, and a slot is provided on one side of the baffle.
[0007] Preferably, the positions of the multiple electromagnetic locks correspond one-to-one with the positions of the multiple baffles, and one end of the lock tongue engages with the slot.
[0008] Preferably, multiple slots are provided on one side of the placement cavity, and two rotating slots are provided on the top and bottom of the inner wall of each slot. Connecting blocks are fixedly connected to one side of the multiple baffles.
[0009] Preferably, the slot has two rotating shafts inside, with the two ends of the two rotating shafts extending into the placement cavity at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the slot, respectively, and the outer side of the rotating shafts being fixedly connected to the connecting block.

[0022] This application provides a switch cabinet with physically locked network ports. This switch cabinet, through the setting of security components, can use an NFC card reader to identify an authorized card and control the electromagnetic lock to power on and off, thereby unlocking and locking the baffle. When the baffle is closed, cable trays restrict plug operation, effectively preventing unauthorized access or tampering. The following provides a detailed description of this physically locked network port switch cabinet. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of embodiments.
[0023] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-6This embodiment provides a switch cabinet with physically locked network ports, comprising: a cabinet 1, a placement cavity 101 on one side of the cabinet 1, multiple heat dissipation meshes 102 installed inside the placement cavity 101, and multiple base plates 103 installed inside the placement cavity 101; and a safety component located inside the cabinet 1, comprising: two baffles 3 between each heat dissipation mesh 102 and base plate 103, NFC card readers 104 installed on both sides of each of the multiple base plates 103, microcontrollers 105 installed inside each of the multiple base plates 103, MOSFET circuit boards 106 installed inside each of the multiple base plates 103, and mounting cavities 107 corresponding to the number of baffles 3 inside the cabinet 1, with electromagnetic locks 2 installed inside each of the multiple mounting cavities 107.
[0025] Among them, through the setting of security components, the NFC card reader 104 can be used to identify authorized cards and control the electromagnetic lock 2 to power on and off, thereby unlocking or locking the baffle 3. Secondly, when the baffle 3 is open, it facilitates the installation and wiring of the switch, and when closed, the cable slot 302 restricts the plug from being pulled out or inserted, effectively preventing unauthorized port contact, plugging or unplugging or tampering, and heat dissipation and cable management, significantly improving the physical security of the network port.
[0026] Among them, the electromagnetic lock 2 is provided with a locking tongue 201, and the baffle 3 is provided with a slot 301 on one side; the positions of multiple electromagnetic locks 2 and multiple baffles 3 are corresponding one to one, and one end of the locking tongue 201 is engaged with the slot 301.
[0027] In use, the NFC card compatible with the NFC card reader 104 is placed against one side of the NFC card reader 104. At this time, the coil inside the NFC card induces current and powers the chip. The activated NFC card changes the antenna load through load modulation technology, thereby modulating the magnetic field. The NFC card reader 104 detects and decodes this magnetic field change, obtains the encrypted data of the NFC card, and sends the information to the microcontroller 105 for authorization verification. Then, the microcontroller 105 outputs a control signal to drive the MOSFET circuit board 106 to conduct, so that the electromagnetic lock 2 is energized, thereby retracting the latch 201 and moving one end of the latch 201 out of the card slot 301. Then, the baffle 3 is pulled, so that the rotating shaft 303 rotates inside the rotating slot 110, thereby opening the space between the base plate 103 and the heat dissipation mesh 102. Through the above operations, all the baffles 3 on both sides of the cabinet 1 are opened.
[0028] The placement cavity 101 has multiple slots 109 on one side, and two rotating slots 110 are provided on the top and bottom of the inner wall of the slots 109. A connecting block 304 is fixedly connected to one side of the multiple baffles 3. Two rotating shafts 303 are provided inside the slots 109. The two ends of the two rotating shafts 303 extend into the placement cavity 101 at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the slots 109, respectively. The outer side of the rotating shafts 303 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 304. Multiple cable slots 302 are provided on the top of the multiple baffles 3, and multiple heat dissipation holes 108 are provided on the top of the multiple base plates 103.
[0029] When in use, place the switch on the base plate 103 and insert the connector at one end of the cable into the port of the switch. Then, insert the cable into the cable slot 302. Since the connector at one end of the cable is larger than the cable slot 302, the connector at one end of the cable cannot be pulled out through the cable slot 302, nor can it be inserted into the port of the switch through the cable slot 302.
[0030] Then, the NFC card is placed against the side of the NFC card reader 104 to power on the electromagnetic lock 2, thereby retracting the latch 201 and resetting the baffle 3. Then, the NFC card is removed to de-power the electromagnetic lock 2, thereby causing the latch 201 to extend and engage with the card slot 301, thus fixing the baffle 3 and locking the switch between the heat dissipation mesh 102 and the base plate 103.
[0031] The working principle is as follows:
[0032] In use, the NFC card compatible with the NFC card reader 104 is placed against one side of the NFC card reader 104. At this time, the coil inside the NFC card induces current and powers the chip. The activated NFC card changes the antenna load through load modulation technology, thereby modulating the magnetic field. The NFC card reader 104 detects and decodes this magnetic field change, obtains the encrypted data of the NFC card, and sends the information to the microcontroller 105 for authorization verification. Then, the microcontroller 105 outputs a control signal to drive the MOSFET circuit board 106 to conduct, so that the electromagnetic lock 2 is energized, thereby retracting the latch 201 and moving one end of the latch 201 out of the card slot 301. Then, the baffle 3 is pulled, so that the rotating shaft 303 rotates inside the rotating slot 110, thereby opening the space between the base plate 103 and the heat dissipation mesh 102. Through the above operations, all the baffles 3 on both sides of the cabinet 1 are opened.
[0033] Furthermore, place the switch on the base plate 103 and insert the connector at one end of the cable into the port of the switch. Then, insert the cable into the cable slot 302. Since the connector at one end of the cable is larger than the cable slot 302, the connector at one end of the cable cannot be pulled out through the cable slot 302, nor can it be inserted into the port of the switch through the cable slot 302.
[0034] Then, the NFC card is placed against the side of the NFC card reader 104 to power on the electromagnetic lock 2, thereby retracting the latch 201 and resetting the baffle 3. Then, the NFC card is removed to de-power the electromagnetic lock 2, thereby causing the latch 201 to extend and engage with the card slot 301, thus fixing the baffle 3 and locking the switch between the heat dissipation mesh 102 and the base plate 103.
