Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a fixed connector and connector module. Prior Technology

[0002] There are various types of connectors in communication equipment, with common structural configurations including wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and board-to-board. When there are many functions and complex wiring relationships, the number of connectors is increased.

[0003] In existing technologies, panels typically have multiple rows of fixed connectors, and movable connectors on the insertion box mate with the fixed connectors. When connection is needed, the insertion box is moved closer to the panel, aligning the movable and fixed connectors for mating. Since panels usually have multiple fixed connectors, and each insertion box also has multiple movable connectors, and the positions of the fixed connectors on the panel and the movable connectors on the insertion box are fixed, each pair of fixed and movable connectors must be perfectly aligned without deviation to ensure that all movable connectors on the insertion box are mated to the panel. If there are manufacturing errors in the movable connectors on the insertion box, such as a slightly larger or smaller gap between adjacent movable connectors, the entire insertion box will be unable to mat with the panel. Therefore, existing technologies have low versatility with fixed connectors, high requirements for the insertion box, and are difficult to mate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One embodiment of the present invention provides a fixed connector and a connector module, which has high versatility, lower requirements for the movable connector on the socket, and is easy to mate.

[0005] One embodiment of the present invention employs the following technical means:

[0006] A fixed connector, floatingly mounted on a panel, the fixed connector comprising: A base plate with a first assembly hole; A cover plate is provided with a second assembly hole that communicates with the first assembly hole; A first floating module is disposed on the base plate and connected to the panel, the base plate floating relative to the panel in a first direction and a second direction through the first floating module; A second floating module is connected to the cover plate and the bottom plate, and the cover plate floats relative to the bottom plate in a third direction through the second floating module; A connector body is provided through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, and the connector body is provided with a limiting part clamped between the cover plate and the base plate; Wherein, any two of the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, and the third direction is the thickness direction of the base plate.

[0007] Optionally, the first floating module includes a movable hole and a first connector. The movable hole is disposed on the base plate, the first connector passes through the movable hole and is connected to the panel, and the first connector restricts the movement of the base plate relative to the panel in the third direction. The portion of the first connector located in the movable hole has a first length in the first direction, the movable hole has a second length in the first direction, the first length being less than the second length, the portion of the first connector located in the movable hole has a third length in the second direction, and the movable hole has a fourth length in the second direction, the third length being less than the fourth length.

[0008] Optionally, the second floating module includes a second connector, an elastic member, and a floating through hole. The floating through hole is disposed on the cover plate. The second connector can slide through the floating through hole and is connected to the base plate. The elastic member is sleeved on the second connector, and one end of the elastic member abuts against the cover plate, while the other end is limited to the second connector.

[0009] Optionally, the bottom plate has a first groove on its surface facing the cover plate, and the limiting part is placed in the first groove; Alternatively, the cover plate has a second groove on its surface facing the base plate, and the limiting part is placed in the second groove; Alternatively, the bottom plate has a third groove on the surface facing the cover plate, and the cover plate has a fourth groove on the surface facing the bottom plate that mates with the third groove. A portion of the limiting part is placed in the third groove, and another portion is placed in the fourth groove.

[0010] Optionally, the fixed connector further includes a guide member connected to the base plate and extending along the base plate in a direction away from the cover plate. The guide member is used to guide the fixed connector when it is inserted into the movable connector.

[0011] Optionally, the guide includes a first guide section and a second guide section coaxially connected, the first guide section being connected to the base plate, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second guide section being smaller than that of the first guide section.

[0012] Optionally, the second guide segment may have a tapered section at one end away from the first guide segment, and / or the connection between the first guide segment and the second guide segment may have a transition slope.

[0013] Optionally, multiple first floating modules, second floating modules, and guide members are provided. The connector body is provided with the first floating module and the guide member on both sides in the first direction, and the first floating module and the guide member located on the same side of the connector body are spaced apart in the second direction. The connector body is provided with the second floating module on both sides in the second direction.

[0014] A connector module includes a movable connector and a fixed connector as described above, wherein the connector body is inserted into the movable connector.

[0015] Optionally, the fixed connector includes a guide, and the movable connector includes a fixing plate and a connector body mounted on the fixing plate, the connector body being inserted into and mated with the connector body. The fixing plate is provided with a guide hole, which includes a conical hole section and a guide hole section that are connected and coaxially arranged. The conical hole section is closer to the base plate than the guide hole section. The guide member is inserted into the conical hole section and the guide hole section, and the circumferential side of the guide member contacts the hole wall of the guide hole section. The length of the guide hole section is greater than or equal to 3 mm.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, a fixed connector and connector module are provided, in which a base plate is floatingly connected to a panel in a first direction and a second direction through a first floating module. This allows the base plate to move slightly relative to the panel in the first and second directions, thereby compensating for the positional deviation of the mating movable connector in the first and second directions. This ensures that the connector body can be smoothly aligned with the corresponding movable connector in the third direction for successful insertion. The floating connection of the connector body to the base plate compensates for the positional deviation of the movable connector in the third direction, ensuring that each set of connector bodies and movable connectors can be properly inserted. This avoids communication quality issues caused by incomplete insertion. The fixed connector can accommodate larger positional deviations of the movable connector, reducing the positional deviation requirements of the movable connector on the insertion box. This allows for a greater degree of simultaneous insertion of multiple connector bodies and multiple movable connectors, providing high versatility, flexibility, and reliability, and facilitating easy mating.

They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish them in the description and have no special meaning.

[0022] The technical means of the present invention will be further explained below with reference to the figures and through specific embodiments.

[0023] This embodiment provides a fixed connector for floating installation on a panel, which has high versatility and reliability, low requirements on the position of the movable connector on the insertion box, and is easy to insert.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 to 14, the fixed connector 200 includes a base plate 211, a cover plate 212, a first floating module 221, a second floating module 222, and a connector body 213.

[0025] The base plate 211 has a first mounting hole 2111; the cover plate 212 has a second mounting hole 2121 communicating with the first mounting hole 2111; a first floating module 221 is disposed on the base plate 211 and connected to the panel 100, the base plate 211 floats relative to the panel 100 through the first floating module 221 in the first direction X and the second direction Y; the second floating module 222 is connected to the cover plate 212 and the base plate 211, the cover plate 212 floats relative to the base plate 211 in the third direction Z through the second floating module 222; the connector body 213 passes through the first mounting hole 2111 and the second mounting hole 2121, and the connector body 213 has a limiting part 2131 clamped between the cover plate 212 and the base plate 211. Any two of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other, and the third direction Z is the thickness direction of the base plate 211.

[0026] In this embodiment, the base plate 211 is disposed on one side of the panel 100. Specifically, the panel 100 has a front and a back side disposed opposite to each other in its thickness direction, wherein the front side faces the movable connector 500, that is, the portion of the connector body 213 used for inserting the movable connector 500 extends from the front side. In this embodiment, the base plate 211 is disposed on one side of the back side of the panel 100. The cover plate 212 is disposed on the side of the base plate 211 facing away from the panel 100. In this embodiment, the base plate 211, the panel 100, and the cover plate 212 are arranged in parallel. Furthermore, the cover plate 212 is movably connected to the base plate 211. Specifically, the cover plate 212 can move relative to the base plate 211 in the third direction Z, but cannot move relative to the base plate 211 in the second direction Y and the first direction X. The mounting holes include a first mounting hole 2111 disposed on the base plate 211 and a second mounting hole 2121 disposed on the cover plate 212. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the connector body 213 in the third direction Z is located between the base plate 211 and the panel 100. That is, the movement of the connector body 213 in the third direction Z is restricted by the base plate 211 and the panel 100.

[0027] In this embodiment, the base plate 211 is floatingly connected to the panel 100 in the first direction X and the second direction Y through the first floating module 221. This allows the base plate 211 to move slightly relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, thereby compensating for the positional deviation of the mating movable connector 500 in the first direction X and the second direction Y. This allows the connector body 213 to be smoothly aligned with the corresponding movable connector 500 in the third direction Z, enabling smooth insertion. The floating connection of the connector body 213 to the base plate 211 can compensate for the positional deviation of the movable connector 500 in the third direction Z, ensuring that each set of connector bodies 213 and movable connectors 500 can be inserted into place. This avoids communication quality issues caused by incomplete insertion. The fixed connector 200 can accommodate larger positional deviations of the movable connector 500, reducing the positional deviation requirements of the movable connector 500 on the insertion box 30. This can ensure that multiple connector bodies 213 and multiple movable connectors 500 can be inserted into place simultaneously to a greater extent, providing high versatility, flexibility, and reliability, and facilitating easy mating.

[0028] It should be noted that the fixed connector 200 may include a support component 210, which includes a base plate 211 and a cover plate 212. The first floating module 221 and the second floating module 222 may be replaced by a floating component 220. In this case, the fixed connector 200 includes the support component 210, the floating component 220 and the connector body 213.

[0029] The panel 100 is used to mount and fix the connector 200. Specifically, as shown in Figure 12, the panel 100 has multiple mounting holes 110. Exemplarily, the panel 100 in this embodiment is rectangular. For ease of description, this embodiment defines a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z. The first direction X is the width direction of the panel 100, the second direction Y is the length direction of the panel 100, and the third direction Z is the thickness direction of the panel 100. Typically, any two of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the length of the panel 100 is greater than its width, and the width of the panel 100 is greater than its thickness. It is understood that the panel 100 can also be other shapes, such as square or irregular shapes; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0030] In this embodiment, the multiple mounting holes 110 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. For example, the multiple mounting holes 110 can be equally spaced. The shape of the mounting holes 110 can be set according to actual needs. For example, in this embodiment, the mounting holes 110 are rectangular.

[0031] For example, multiple fixed connectors 200 are provided, and each fixed connector 200 corresponds one-to-one with a plurality of mounting holes 110. Each fixed connector 200 can be installed in its corresponding mounting hole 110. Specifically, as shown in Figures 11 to 14, each fixed connector 200 includes a support component 210, a connector body 213, and a floating component 220. Each support component 210 is provided with an assembly hole (not shown in the figures), which communicates with the corresponding mounting hole 110. The connector body 213 passes through the corresponding mounting hole 110 and the assembly hole, and the support component 210 is floatingly connected to the panel 100 in the first direction X and the second direction Y through the floating component 220, so that the support component 210 can float relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X and the second direction Y. The connector body 213 is floatingly connected to the support component 210 in the third direction Z through the floating component 220, so that the connector body 213 can float relative to the support component 210 in the third direction Z.

[0032] It should be noted that the floating connection of the support component 210 to the panel 100 can be understood as the support component 210 being able to move slightly relative to the panel 100. Specifically, the support component 210 can move slightly relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X and also slightly relative to the panel 100 in the second direction Y. Similarly, the floating connection of the connector body 213 to the support component 210 can be understood as the connector body 213 being able to move slightly relative to the support component 210 in the third direction Z, so that the connector body 213 is not fixed in position relative to the panel 100, but can move slightly relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z. In this embodiment, the movement length of the slight movement can be 3 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the third direction Z is the insertion and removal direction of the connector body 213 and the mating connector (which can be named the active connector 500).

[0033] When using the fixed connector 200 provided in this embodiment, the connector used to mate with the fixed connector 200 is referred to as the movable connector 500. The movable connector 500 is disposed on the insertion box 30, and the insertion box 30 is provided with multiple movable connectors 500. When the movable connector 500 is aligned with the connector body 213, if some of the movable connectors 500 cannot be aligned with the connector body 213, the connector body 213 moves slightly in the first direction X and / or the second direction Y under the push of the movable connectors 500, so that the connector body 213 can smoothly mate with the movable connector 500. When a movable connector 500 on the insertion box 30 exceeds other movable connectors 500 in the insertion / removal direction, if the protruding movable connector 500 is inserted into the corresponding connector body 213, other movable connectors 500 will be unable to be inserted into the corresponding connector body 213. In this embodiment, the connector body 213 is floatingly connected to the support component 210 through the floating component 220, so that the protruding movable connector 500 can continue to push the connector body 213 to move in the third direction Z until other non-protruding movable connectors 500 can be inserted into the corresponding connector body 213.

[0034] For example, as shown in FIG1, the floating component 220 includes a first floating module 221 and a second floating module 222. The first floating module 221 is connected to the panel 100 and the support component 210, and the support component 210 floats relative to the panel 100 in a first direction X and a second direction Y via the first floating module 221. The second floating module 222 is connected to the support component 210 and the connector body 213, and the connector body 213 floats relative to the support component 210 in a third direction Z via the second floating module 222; that is, the connector body 213 moves slightly relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z via the second floating module 222. Here, the third direction Z is the thickness direction of the panel 100.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3. The first floating module 221 includes a movable hole 2211 and a first connector 2212. The movable hole 2211 is located on the base plate 211 and extends through the base plate 211 in the third direction Z. The first connector 2212 passes through the movable hole 2211 and is connected to the panel 100. The first connector 2212 restricts the movement of the base plate 211 relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z, so that the base plate 211 cannot move relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z, but can move relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figures 4 and 13, the portion of the first connector 2212 located in the movable hole 2211 has a first length in the first direction X, and the movable hole 2211 has a second length in the first direction X. The first length is less than the second length, allowing the base plate 211 to move relative to the first connector 2212 in the first direction X. This, in turn, enables the base plate 211 to move relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X, thereby enabling the connector body 213 to move relative to the panel 100 in the first direction X. It should be noted that the limit of movement of the base plate 211 in the first direction X is when the outer peripheral wall of the first connector 2212 contacts the wall of the movable hole 2211. At this point, the base plate 211 cannot continue to move relative to the first connector 2212 in the first direction X. Figure 13 shows the minimum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the first connector 2212 and the wall of the movable hole 2211 in the first direction X as a first distance d1.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3 and 14, the portion of the first connector 2212 located in the movable hole 2211 has a third length in the second direction Y, and the movable hole 2211 has a fourth length in the second direction Y. The third length is less than the fourth length, allowing the base plate 211 to move relative to the first connector 2212 in the second direction Y. This, in turn, enables the base plate 211 to move relative to the panel 100 in the second direction Y, thereby enabling the connector body 213 to move relative to the panel 100 in the second direction Y. It should be noted that the limit of movement of the base plate 211 in the second direction Y is when the outer peripheral wall of the first connector 2212 contacts the wall of the movable hole 2211. At this point, the base plate 211 cannot continue to move relative to the first connector 2212 in the second direction Y. Figure 14 shows the minimum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the first connector 2212 and the wall of the movable hole 2211 in the second direction Y as the second distance d2.

[0038] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3, the first connector 2212 can be a cross-head equal-height screw. Specifically, a cross-head equal-height screw is a screw that includes a smooth rod section 22121 and a screw section 22122. The cross-head nut 22123 of the screw is located on the side of the base plate 211 facing away from the panel 100. The smooth rod section 22121 passes through the movable hole 2211, and the screw section 22122 is screwed to the panel 100.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the first connector 2212 and the movable hole 2211 are coaxially arranged, such that there is a gap between the outer peripheral wall of the first connector 2212 and the hole wall of the movable hole 2211 in the circumferential direction of the first connector 2212. This allows the base plate 211 to move left or right relative to the panel 100 in the direction shown in FIG. 13, and the distance it can move is the first distance d1. The base plate 211 can also move left or right relative to the panel 100 in the direction shown in FIG. 14, and the distance it can move is the second distance d2. This further improves the flexibility of the base plate 211 and the connector body 213 so that it can be adapted to different situations.

[0040] For example, as shown in FIG3, the second floating module 222 includes a second connector 2221, an elastic member 2222, and a floating through hole 2223. The floating through hole 2223 is disposed on the cover plate 212. The second connector 2221 slidably passes through the floating through hole 2223 and is connected to the base plate 211, so that when the base plate 211 moves in the first direction X and the second direction Y, the cover plate 212 can be moved in the first direction X and the second direction Y through the second connector 2221. It should be noted that the position of the base plate 211 relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z is fixed; that is, the base plate 211 will not move relative to the panel 100 in the third direction Z. The elastic member 2222 is sleeved on the second connector 2221, with one end of the elastic member 2222 abutting against the cover plate 212 and the other end confined within the second connector 2221. For example, the second connector 2221 has a cap at one end facing away from the cover plate 212, and the elastic member 2222 can abut against the cap. In this embodiment, the elastic member 2222 always has a tendency to move the cover plate 212 closer to the bottom plate 211. For example, the elastic member 2222 can be a spring or other elastic structure, and this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0041] When the second floating module 222 is in use: Figure 5 shows the original state of the cover plate 212 and the connector body 213. At this time, the part of the connector body 213 located between the base plate 211 and the cover plate 212 is in contact with both the base plate 211 and the cover plate 212. The active connector 500 pushes the connector body 213 to move in the third direction Z, specifically along the direction of the cover plate 212 away from the base plate 211. At this time, since the upper limit of the connector body 213 in the third direction Z is located between the base plate 211 and the panel 100, and the cover plate 212 can move relative to the base plate 211 under the guidance of the second connector 2221, the connector body 213 can push the cover plate 212 to move in the direction away from the base plate 211 and squeeze the elastic member 2222, so that the elastic member 2222 is compressed. Since the base plate 211 cannot move relative to the panel 100, the connector body 213 moves slightly relative to the panel 100 through the second connector 2221 until it moves to the state shown in Figure 6. At this time, the part of the connector body 213 located between the base plate 211 and the cover plate 212 is separated from the base plate 211 and contacts the cover plate 212. When the external force pushing the connector body 213 disappears, the cover plate 212 and the connector body 213 are reset under the elastic force of the elastic element 2222.

[0042] It should be noted that the maximum movement distance of the connector body 213 and cover plate 212 in the third direction Z is related to the compression limit of the elastic element 2222. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the maximum movement distance of the connector body 213 and cover plate 212 in the third direction Z is the third distance d3.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, referring to Figures 3, 5, and 6, the connector body 213 is provided with a limiting portion 2131 sandwiched between the cover plate 212 and the base plate 211. The cover plate 212 and the base plate 211 limit the position of the connector body 213 in the third direction Z through the limiting portion 2131. In this embodiment, the connector body 213 is provided with at least one limiting portion 2131 on both sides in the second direction Y to improve the limiting effect and reliability.

[0044] Optionally, the cover plate 212 and the bottom plate 211 can limit the limiting part 2131 in various ways. This embodiment provides the following three limiting methods.

[0045] In the first limiting method, as shown in Figure 3, the surface of the base plate 211 facing the cover plate 212 is provided with a first groove 2114, and the limiting part 2131 is placed in the first groove 2114. The cover plate 212 is provided to cover the first groove 2114, so that when the limiting part 2131 moves in the Z direction, it can push the cover plate 212 to move in the Z direction. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the first groove 2114 extends to the wall of the second mounting hole 2121, so that the limiting part 2131 can smoothly extend into the first groove 2114.

[0046] In the second limiting method, the surface of the cover plate 212 facing the base plate 211 is provided with a second groove, the limiting part 2131 is placed in the second groove, and the base plate 211 is provided to cover the second groove to limit the limiting part 2131. When the limiting part 2131 moves in the third direction Z, it can push the cover plate 212 to move in the third direction Z through the second groove. It should be noted that the second groove extends to the wall of the first mounting hole 2111.

[0047] In the third limiting method, the surface of the base plate 211 facing the cover plate 212 is provided with a third groove, and the surface of the cover plate 212 facing the base plate 211 is provided with a fourth groove that mates with the third groove. A portion of the limiting part 2131 is placed in the third groove, and another portion is placed in the fourth groove. That is, the third groove and the fourth groove mate to form a cavity. The limiting part 2131 is placed in the cavity and can push the cover plate 212 to move in the third direction Z. It should be noted that the third groove extends to the wall of the first mounting hole 2111, and the fourth groove extends to the wall of the second mounting hole 2121.

[0048] The cover plate 212 and the base plate 211 have the above three structures, which can all limit the limiting part 2131, thereby limiting the connector body 213 in the third direction Z.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the base plate 211 includes a mounting area 2112 and two connecting areas 2113. The two connecting areas 2113 are located on both sides of the mounting area 2112 in a first direction X. A first mounting hole 2111 is provided in the mounting area 2112. The cover plate 212 is disposed opposite to the mounting area 2112 in a third direction Z. That is, both the connector body 213 and the cover plate 212 are disposed in the middle of the base plate 211 in the first direction X. By setting the length of the cover plate 212 in the first direction X to be less than the length of the base plate 211 in the first direction X, the base plate 211 has a portion not covered by the cover plate 212. This portion can be used to set the movable hole 2211, thereby facilitating the installation of the first connector 2212, reducing the assembly difficulty of fixing the connector 200, and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0050] In this embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 2. In the second direction Y, the two sides of the cover plate 212 are flush with the two sides of the base plate 211. That is, the size of the cover plate 212 in the second direction Y is equal to the size of the base plate 211 in the second direction Y, so that the fixed connector 200 is neater in the second direction Y.

[0051] Exemplarily, multiple first floating modules 221 are provided, and at least one first floating module 221 is provided in each of the two connection areas 2113. Specifically, each of the two connection areas 2113 is provided with a movable hole 2211, and a first connector 2212 passes through each movable hole 2211. In this embodiment, four first floating modules 221 are provided for each fixed connector 200, and two movable holes 2211 are provided in each connection area 2113. The two movable holes 2211 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction X. For example, the base plate 211 is a rectangular plate, and a movable hole 2211 is provided at each corner of the base plate 211. By providing multiple first floating modules 221, the base plate 211 can be better connected to the panel 100, reducing the possibility of rotation or displacement of the base plate 211.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, to ensure the floating effect of the connector body 213 in the third direction Z, please continue to refer to Figure 2. Multiple second floating modules 222 are provided, distributed on both sides of the second mounting holes 2121 of the cover plate 212 in the second direction Y, and all connected to the cover plate 212. This improves the uniformity of the rebound force exerted by the elastic element 2222 on the connector body 213 and the cover plate 212, preventing the connector body 213 from deflecting and providing higher reliability. It also improves the reliability of the connection between the cover plate 212 and the base plate 211. In this embodiment, the floating through holes 2223 on the cover plate 212 are distributed on both sides of the second mounting holes 2121. Exemplarily, multiple second floating modules 222 are symmetrically arranged on the cover plate 212 with a symmetry axis extending along the first direction X, further improving the uniformity of the rebound force applied to the connector body 213 and the cover plate 212. The number of second floating modules 222 can be 4, 6, 8, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0053] In this embodiment, by setting multiple first floating modules 221 on both sides of the cover plate 212 in the first direction X and setting the second floating modules 222 on both sides of the second mounting hole 2121 in the second direction Y, the space on the base plate 211 and the cover plate 212 is fully utilized, so that the size of the fixed connector 200 in both the first direction X and the second direction Y can be smaller, thereby increasing the density of the fixed connector 200 on the cable backplane 10 and thus increasing the communication transmission density of the cable backplane 10.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, referring to Figure 2, the fixed connector 200 further includes a guide 214. The guide 214 is connected to the base plate 211 and extends along the base plate 211 in a direction away from the cover plate 212. The guide 214 guides the connector body 213 when it is inserted into the movable connector 500, thereby reducing the difficulty of insertion and enabling smooth mating. Exemplarily, one end of the guide 214 is connected to the base plate 211, and the other end is inserted into the guide hole 511 of the movable connector 500 to facilitate alignment between the movable connector 500 and the connector body 213. Each fixed connector 200 is provided with a guide 214, ensuring that the connector body 213 of each fixed connector 200 can smoothly mate with the movable connector 500. It should be noted that after the guide member 214 passes through the panel 100, it is inserted into the guide hole 511 of the movable connector 500. Specifically, the panel 100 has a fifth through hole 150 corresponding to the guide member 214. The guide member 214 passes through the fifth through hole 150 and is inserted into the guide hole 511.

[0055] Optionally, as shown in FIG3, the guide member 214 includes a first guide segment 2141 and a second guide segment 2142 coaxially connected. The first guide segment 2141 is connected to the base plate 211. In some optional embodiments, the connection position between the first guide segment 2141 and the base plate 211 is located in the connection area 2113, avoiding the movable hole 2211. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second guide segment 2142 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first guide segment 2141; that is, the first guide segment 2141 is thicker than the second guide segment 2142. By setting the first guide segment 2141 and the second guide segment 2142, step-by-step guidance can be achieved when the movable connector 500 and the connector body 213 are inserted, ensuring that they can be smoothly inserted. Exemplarily, both the first guide segment 2141 and the second guide segment 2142 can be cylindrical or nearly cylindrical structures; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0056] Further optionally, please continue to refer to Figure 3, the second guide segment 2142 has a tapered segment 2143 at one end opposite to the first guide segment 2141. The tapered segment 2143 makes the guide member 214 have a tip, and the tip is located at the end of the guide member 214 opposite to the base plate 211, so that the guide member 214 can be inserted into the guide hole 511, further reducing the difficulty of connecting the movable connector 500 and the connector body 213.

[0057] In this embodiment, to facilitate the transition between the first guide segment 2141 and the second guide segment 2142, as shown in FIG3, a transition slope 2144 is provided at the connection between the first guide segment 2141 and the second guide segment 2142. For example, the transition slope 2144 can also be a chamfer. By providing the transition slope 2144 or a chamfer, jamming between the first guide segment 2141 and the movable connector 500 during insertion can be avoided, improving the success rate of the guide member 214 inserting into the guide hole 511.

[0058] In this embodiment, multiple guide members 214 can be connected to each base plate 211 to further improve the reliability of guidance. In this embodiment, the connector body 213 has a first floating module 221 and guide members 214 on both sides in the first direction X, and the first floating module 221 and guide members 214 located on the same side of the connector body 213 are spaced apart in the second direction Y to avoid interference. Furthermore, the connector body 213 has a second floating module 222 on both sides in the second direction Y, ensuring that the first floating module 221, the second floating module 222, and the guide members 214 do not interfere with each other. For example, each base plate 211 is connected to two guide members 214, which are correspondingly connected to two connection areas 2113.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, the circumferential side of the first guide segment 2141 includes at least two arcuate surfaces (not shown in the figure) and at least one flat surface (not shown in the figure), wherein the arcuate surfaces are used to contact the wall of the guide hole 511, and the flat surface has a gap with the wall of the guide hole 511.

[0060] This embodiment also provides a connector module, including a movable connector 500 and the aforementioned fixed connector 200, wherein the connector body 213 of the fixed connector 200 is inserted into the movable connector 500. As shown in Figure 7, the movable connector 500 is inserted into the connector body 213.

[0061] As exemplarily shown in FIG7, the active connector 500 includes a fixing plate 510 and a connector body 520 mounted on the fixing plate 510. The connector body 520 is mated with the connector body 213.

[0062] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the fixing plate 510 is provided with a guide hole 511, which includes a conical hole section 5111 and a guide hole section 5112 that are connected and coaxially arranged. The conical hole section 5111 is closer to the panel 100 than the guide hole section 5112. A guide member 214 is inserted into both the conical hole section 5111 and the guide hole section 5112, and the circumferential side of the guide member 214 contacts the hole wall of the guide hole section 5112 to achieve the purpose of guidance. For example, in this embodiment, the length of the guide hole section 5112 is greater than or equal to 3 millimeters (mm). For example, the length of the guide hole is a preset length d4. The preset length d4 can be 3 millimeters (mm), 4 millimeters (mm), 4.5 millimeters (mm), 5 millimeters (mm), 6 millimeters (mm), etc., and this embodiment does not limit this. Figure 14 of this embodiment also shows the distance d6 between the edge of the tapered hole section 5111 and the edge of the guide hole section 5112, the radius d7 of the tapered section 2143, and the axial length d5 ​​of the transition slope 2144. The axial length d5, the distance d6, and the radius d7 can be determined according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit them.

[0063] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the step-by-step guidance of the guide member 214. Figure 8a shows the first-stage guidance. In this process, the tapered segment 2143 aligns with the tapered hole segment 5111 of the guide hole 511, continuing to push the movable connector 500. Guided by the tapered hole segment 5111, the tapered segment 2143 enters the guide hole 511 until the second guide segment 2142 is inserted into the guide hole segment 5112 of the guide hole 511. Figure 8b shows the state after the first-stage guidance. After the first-stage guidance, the tolerance between the connector body 520 and the connector body 213 of the movable connector 500 is ±0.65 (i.e., 0.5*(6.3-5)). That is, in this embodiment, the diameter of the second guide segment 2142 and the aperture of the guide hole 511 satisfy the requirement that the tolerance between the connector body 520 and the connector body 213 of the movable connector 500 after the first-stage guidance is ±0.65 (e.g., 0.5*(6.3-5)). Figure 8c shows the secondary guidance process. During this process, under the action of the transition slope 2144, the first guide segment 2141 smoothly enters the guide hole segment 5112. The diameter of the first guide segment 2141 and the aperture of the guide hole segment 5112 satisfy the tolerance of ±0.15 (e.g., 0.5*(6.3-6)) between the connector body 520 and the connector main body 213 of the movable connector 500 after the secondary guidance. Figure 8d shows the state after the secondary guidance. At this time, under the action of the first floating module 221, the connector main body 213 and the connector body 520 can be mated.

[0064] It is understood that the active connector 500 can also be a connector of other structures, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0065] This embodiment also provides a cable backplate 10, including a fixed connector 200 and a panel 100.

[0066] In the prior art, the panel 100 is usually a one-piece structure, which has the problem of large cumulative tolerances. This embodiment provides a panel 100, as shown in Figures 12 and 13. The panel 100 is a spliced ​​structure and includes multiple plates 120 connected end to end. Each plate 120 has multiple mounting holes 110, which are spaced apart along the length direction (i.e., the second direction Y) of the plate 120.

[0067] As shown in Figure 15, the first of the two connected plates 120 is provided with a first connecting portion 121, and the second is provided with a second connecting portion 122. Both the first and second plates represent a single plate 120. The first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 are positioned opposite each other in the thickness direction (i.e., the third direction Z) of the plate 120.

[0068] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG16, the surface of the first connecting part 121 facing the second connecting part 122 is provided with a pre-installation groove 1211, and as shown in FIG17, the surface of the second connecting part 122 facing the first connecting part 121 is provided with a pre-installation protrusion 1221. The pre-installation protrusion 1221 is placed in the pre-installation groove 1211 to realize the pre-installation of the two plates 120 that need to be connected. Furthermore, by setting the pre-installation protrusion 1221 and the pre-installation groove 1211, the relative position of the two plates 120 can be defined, so that the two plates 120 can be precisely assembled.

[0069] For example, both the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 are provided with positioning holes 1212, and positioning pins 130 are inserted through the two positioning holes 1212. The positioning pins 130 are used for positioning the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122, further ensuring the positional accuracy of the two plates 120 and the accuracy of the connector. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 are connected through a third connector 160 to realize the connection between the two plates 120.

[0070] The panel 100 provided in this embodiment is formed by splicing together multiple plates 120 end to end. Each plate 120 has a mounting hole 110 for mounting the connector body 213. Each plate 120 has a first connecting portion 121 and a second connecting portion 122. Two plates 120 can be connected through the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122. The pre-installed protrusion 1221 of the second connecting portion 122 is placed in the pre-installed groove 1211 of the first connecting portion 121. With the positioning pin 130 inserted into the positioning holes 1212 of the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122, the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 are connected. The precise connection ensures the connection accuracy of the two boards 120. Each board 120 does not need to be too long, thus avoiding the situation where the mounting hole 110 cannot be inserted into the movable connector 500 due to large accumulated tolerances. This allows multiple connector bodies 213 to be inserted into multiple movable parts simultaneously, improving the reliability of the cable backplate 10 of the application panel 100. In addition, the shorter board 120 can also avoid the situation of bending in the middle, thus avoiding the problem that the connector body 213 located in the middle of the length direction of the panel 100 cannot be connected to the movable connector 500, improving the yield and reliability of the cable backplate 10 of the application panel 100.

[0071] By setting up a splicing panel 100 and cooperating with the floating component 220, the cable backplate 10 provided in this embodiment can be adapted to the plug box 30 with larger assembly tolerances, while having a smaller assembly tolerance itself. This makes it more adaptable and thus has a lower cost.

[0072] In this embodiment, the cross-sections of the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 122 are both "Z" shaped so that they can cooperate with each other to achieve a precise connection.

[0073] Optionally, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, each plate 120 includes a central region 1201 and frame regions 1202 disposed on both sides of the central region 1201 along the width direction (i.e., the first direction X) of the plate 120. The thickness of the plate 120 in the central region 1201 is less than the thickness in the frame regions 1202, and the mounting hole 110 is formed in the central region 1201. By providing a thinner central region 1201, and mounting the connector body 213 in the central region 1201, the combined thickness of the central region 1201 and the fixed connector 200 can be smaller while ensuring support for the connector body 213. This results in a smaller overall thickness of the cable backplate 10, and consequently, a smaller overall size, which is beneficial for applications with high space requirements.

[0074] It should be noted that each frame region 1202 is provided with a first connecting part 121 and / or a second connecting part 122. That is, the first connecting part 121 and the second connector are provided in the frame region 1202. Since the frame region 1202 is relatively thick, the thickness of the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 122 can be relatively large, which is conducive to forming the pre-installed groove 1211.

[0075] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figures 12, 15 to 17, the portion of the frame region 1202 without the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 is the main body 123. That is, each frame region 1202 includes the main body 123 and the first connecting portion 121, or includes the main body 123 and the second connecting portion 122, or includes the main body 123, the first connecting portion 121, and the second connecting portion 122. The sum of the thicknesses of the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 is equal to the thickness of the main body 123. Furthermore, the surface of the first connecting portion 121 facing away from the second connecting portion 122 is flush with one side of the main body 123 in the thickness direction, and the surface of the second connecting portion 122 facing away from the first connecting portion 121 is flush with the other side of the main body 123 in the thickness direction. This ensures that the arrangement of the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 does not additionally increase the thickness of the panel 120, further facilitating the thinning of the panel 100. Furthermore, the surface of the first connecting portion 121 facing away from the second connecting portion 122 is flush with one side of the main body portion 123 in the thickness direction, and the surface of the second connecting portion 122 facing away from the first connecting portion 121 is flush with the other side of the main body portion 123 in the thickness direction, which facilitates the assembly of the components on both sides of the panel 100 on the panel 100 and also makes the panel 100 neater.

[0076] For example, the length of the first connecting portion 121 is equal to the length of the second connecting portion 122, and as shown in FIG12, the end face of the first connecting portion 121 contacts the end face of the second connecting portion 122, and the end face of the second connecting portion 122 contacts the end face of the first connecting portion 122. This allows the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 to fit together better, avoiding the risk of relative movement between the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122 when the panel 100 is subjected to a force in its thickness direction. This prevents the panel 100 from bending or deforming, improves the overall integrity of the panel 100, and allows the panel 100 to better support the fixed connector 200. It should be noted that the length direction of the first connecting portion 121 is the same as the length direction of the second connecting portion 122. For example, the length direction of the first connecting portion 121 is the second direction Y.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, the pre-installed groove 1211 extends to the end face of the first connecting portion 121. Specifically, the pre-installed groove 1211 extends to the end of the first connecting portion 121 in the second direction Y. On the one hand, this makes the size of the pre-installed groove 1211 larger, facilitating assembly with the pre-installed protrusion 1221. On the other hand, the pre-installed protrusion 1221 can be inserted into the pre-installed groove 1211 from the end of the first connecting portion 121, further facilitating the assembly of the two plates 120. Similarly, the pre-installed protrusion 1221 extends to the end face of the second connecting portion 122, that is, the pre-installed protrusion 1221 extends to the end of the second connecting portion 122 in the second direction Y, so that the pre-installed protrusion 1221 can slide into the pre-installed groove 1211.

[0078] Optionally, as shown in Figure 16, the first connecting part 121 is provided with a through hole 1213, the second connecting part 122 is provided with a second threaded hole 1222, and the third connecting member 160 is a bolt. The bolt passes through the through hole 1213 and is screwed into the second threaded hole 1222 to realize the connection between the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 122. In this embodiment, referring to Figures 16 and 17, the through hole 1213 is provided in the pre-installed groove 1211, the second threaded hole 1222 is provided in the pre-installed protrusion 1221, and the positioning hole 1212 is located outside the pre-installed groove 1211 and the pre-installed protrusion 1221, so that the positioning hole 1212 is separated from the through hole 1213 and the second threaded hole 1222, thereby reducing the impact of the opening on the structural strength of the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 122.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, as shown in FIG12, the multiple plates 120 have the same width, that is, the multiple plates 120 have the same length in the first direction X, to ensure the neatness of the structure of the panel 100 in the first direction X. Furthermore, as shown in FIG13, shallow grooves 124 are provided on both sides in the length direction and / or both sides in the width direction of the plates 120, and the bottom of the shallow grooves 124 is provided with third threaded holes 1241. For example, the shallow grooves 124 are used to connect other structures.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 12. There are three plates 120, that is, the panel 100 includes three plates 120, namely the first plate 12a, the second plate 12b, and the third plate 12c. The first plate 12a, the second plate 12b, and the third plate 12c are connected sequentially along the second direction Y.

[0081] In the second direction Y, one end of the first plate 12a and one end of the third plate 12c are each provided with a first connecting portion 121, while the other ends of the first plate 12a and the third plate 12c are not provided with either a first connecting portion 121 or a second connecting portion 122. For example, as shown in Figure 16, one end of the first plate 12a is provided with two first connecting portions 121. Similarly, one end of the third plate 12c is also provided with two first connecting portions 121. Both ends of the second plate 12b are provided with second connecting portions 122. As shown in Figure 17, each end of the second plate 12b is provided with two second connecting portions 122. The first connecting portion 121 of the first plate 12a is connected to the second connecting portion 122 at one end of the second plate 12b through the third connecting member 160, and the first connecting portion 121 of the third plate 12c is connected to the second connecting portion 122 at the other end of the second plate 12b through the third connecting member 160, so as to realize the connection between the first plate 12a, the second plate 12b and the third plate 12c.

[0082] In some optional embodiments, as shown in FIG12, the length of the mounting hole 110 on the second plate 12b in the width direction (i.e., the first direction X) of the plate 120 is greater than the length of the mounting hole 110 on the first plate 12a in the width direction of the plate 120, and is also greater than the length of the mounting hole 110 on the third plate 12c in the width direction of the plate 120. This allows the connector body 213 mounted on the second plate 12b to have a larger size in the first direction X, thereby enabling the panel 100 to be adapted to mount connector bodies 213 of different sizes, further improving the flexibility of the panel 100.

[0083] As shown in Figures 9 to 11, the cable backplate 10 also includes a housing 400. The housing 400 has an opening 420 on one side. Specifically, the housing 400 has an opening 420 on the side in the third direction Z. The panel 100 is located in the opening 420 and connected to the housing 400. The housing 400 and the panel 100 form a relatively sealed space. Part of the connector body 213 and the wire are located in this space. The housing 400 is used for dustproof and waterproof purposes.

[0084] In some optional embodiments, as shown in FIG18, the housing 400 is provided with a plurality of protruding portions 450. The protruding portions 450 are provided on one side of the housing 400, and the protruding portions 450 correspond to the shallow grooves 124 on the plate 120. That is, the number of protruding portions 450 is the same as the number of shallow grooves 124, and the protruding portions 450 are placed in their corresponding shallow grooves 124, so that the shallow grooves 124 can accommodate the protruding portions 450. This ensures that the size of the cable backplate 10 in the first direction X or the second direction Y will not increase due to the provision of the protruding portions 450, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the cable backplate 10. The protruding portions 450 are provided with protruding through holes 451 that connect to the third threaded hole 1241. The fourth bolt passes through the third threaded hole 1241 and the protruding through hole 451 and connects the protruding portions 450 and the plate 120, thereby realizing the connection between the housing 400 and the panel 100. By providing the tab portion 450, the housing 400 does not need to have a protruding circumferential edge of the panel 100, which reduces the material used in the housing 400 and also reduces the weight of the housing 400, which is beneficial for the lightweighting of the cable backplate 10.

[0085] Optionally, the cable backplate 10 also includes a stand assembly 300. The stand assembly 300 is connected to the panel 100 and is used to connect the panel 100 to the cabinet 20 of the communication equipment, and has strong connection strength and low weight.

[0086] In some optional embodiments, the upright panel assembly 300 is located inside the housing 400. The upright panel assembly 300 is provided with a first threaded hole 311. The housing 400 is provided with a first through hole 410 communicating with the first threaded hole 311. One end of the first bolt passes through the first through hole 410 and is screwed into the first threaded hole 311. The other end of the first bolt is connected to the cabinet 20 of the communication equipment, so as to realize the connection between the panel 100 and the cabinet 20 through the upright panel assembly 300.

[0087] For example, the housing 400 has an opening 420 on one side in the third direction Z, as shown in Figure 18, and the other side wall has a plurality of first through holes 410. There are multiple upright plates 310, all located inside the housing 400. One end of the upright plate 310 is connected to the panel 100, and the other end is provided with a first threaded hole 311. The plurality of first through holes 410 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of first threaded holes 311. One end of the first bolt passes through the first through hole 410 and is connected to the first threaded hole 311, and the other end is used to connect to the cabinet 20 of the communication equipment.

[0088] In this embodiment, by setting multiple upright plates 310 and connecting them to the cabinet 20 and the panel 100, compared to the existing method of connecting the housing 400 to the cabinet 20, the strength requirements for the housing 400 can be lower. The strength requirements for the housing 400 are transferred to the upright plates 310. Since only a few upright plates 310 are needed, even if thicker and higher-quality upright plates 310 are used, the cost of the cable backplate 10 will not increase significantly. Furthermore, the impact on the overall weight of the cable backplate 10 is minimal, and the reliability of the connection between the panel 100 and the cabinet 20 can be improved. Moreover, by setting the upright plates 310, the housing 400 can be supported, preventing deformation due to impact or pressure from other components, thus better protecting the internal connector body 213, wires, or other electronic components, resulting in higher safety.

[0089] It should be noted that each upright plate 310 may be provided with multiple first threaded holes 311 to improve the connection strength between each upright plate 310 and the cabinet 20. The number of first bolts and the number of first through holes 410 correspond to the number of first threaded holes 311.

[0090] In some optional embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 18, the housing 400 is also provided with a second through hole 430. As shown in Figures 20 and 21, a positioning post 320 is provided at one end of the upright plate 310 facing away from the panel 100, that is, a positioning post 320 is provided at one end of the upright plate 310 where the first threaded hole 311 is provided. The end of the positioning post 320 facing away from the upright plate 310 passes through the second through hole 430 and is used to insert into the mating hole of the cabinet 20 to realize the positioning of the cabinet 20 and the upright plate 310, thereby enabling the cabinet 20 and the cable back plate 10 to be positioned as a whole, so that the cable back plate 10 can be installed at a predetermined position on the cabinet 20.

[0091] For example, one or more positioning posts 320 may be provided, and each positioning post 320 has a corresponding second through hole 430 on the housing 400.

[0092] In some optional embodiments, as shown in FIG22, the panel 100 is provided with a plurality of third through holes 140, and each upright plate 310 is provided with a fourth threaded hole 330 corresponding to and communicating with the third through hole 140. The second bolt (not shown in the figure) passes through the third through hole 140 and is connected in the fourth threaded hole 330 to realize the connection between the upright plate 310 and the panel 100.

[0093] Optionally, as shown in Figure 19, the end of the upright plate 310 near the panel 100 is provided with a plurality of support protrusions 340, that is, the end face of the upright plate 310 facing the panel 100 is provided with support protrusions 340. The plurality of support protrusions 340 are spaced apart along the length direction (i.e., the second direction Y) of the panel 100. As shown in Figure 21, the support protrusions 340 contact the panel 100, specifically, the support protrusions 340 are fitted to the panel 100. A fourth threaded hole 330 is provided on the support protrusion 340 to facilitate the connection between the upright plate 310 and the panel 100. By providing support protrusions 340, a hole structure can be formed between the support bodies and on the surfaces of the panel 100 and the upright plate 310 facing the panel 100, so that the overall weight of the upright plate 310 can be reduced, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the cable backplate 10. For example, as shown in Figure 21, there are three support protrusions 340, which are spaced apart.

[0094] In some optional embodiments, to further facilitate the connection between the upright plate 310 and the panel 100, each support protrusion 340 has a protruding post 350 on its surface facing away from the upright plate 310. That is, the protruding post 350 is disposed on the support protrusion 340, for example, the protruding post 350 and the support protrusion 340 are coaxially arranged. As shown in FIG22, the third through hole 140 includes a large hole section 141 and a small hole section 142 coaxially arranged. The protruding post 350 is placed in the large hole section 141, and the support protrusion 340 contacts the panel 100. By inserting the protruding post 350 into the large hole section 141, the pre-assembly of the upright plate 310 and the panel 100 can be achieved. That is, before connecting the second bolt, each protruding post 350 is inserted into the corresponding large hole section 141, thereby achieving the pre-fixation of each upright plate 310. The fourth threaded hole 330 extends to the protrusion 350, and the second bolt can be directly screwed into the protrusion 350 from the front of the panel 100 and extends to the support protrusion 340 or even the upright plate 310.

[0095] For example, the third through hole 140 also includes a receiving groove disposed at one end of the small hole section 142 facing away from the large hole section 141. The receiving groove is used to receive the cap of the second bolt to prevent the cap of the second bolt from protruding from the front of the panel 100, thereby affecting the insertion of the connector body 213 and the movable connector 500.

[0096] For example, as shown in FIG11, the upright plate 310 is connected to the two edges in the width direction of the panel 100, that is, the upright plate 310 is connected to the frame area 1202 of the plate body 120. In this embodiment, each frame area 1202 of each plate body 120 is connected to an upright plate 310, so that each plate body 120 can be connected to the cabinet 20 through the upright plate 310, thereby reducing the dependence on the connection strength between the plates 120. By connecting the upright plate 310 to the edge area of ​​the plate body 120, interference of the upright plate 310 with the connector body 213 and the wires can also be avoided.

[0097] In some alternative embodiments, multiple uprights 310 are spaced apart along the length of the panel 100. For example, the multiple uprights 310 can be evenly and spaced apart to improve the uniformity and reliability of the support panel 100.

[0098] Optionally, as shown in Figure 20, the upright plate 310 further includes a fifth threaded hole 360. As shown in Figure 18, the housing 400 is provided with a fourth through hole 440 corresponding to and communicating with the fifth threaded hole 360. As shown in Figure 11, the cable back plate 10 also includes a handle 600. The handle 600 is located outside the housing 400, and a third bolt passes through the fourth through hole 440 and connects to the fifth threaded hole 360 ​​to connect the handle 600 and the upright plate 310. By providing the handle 600, operators or robotic arms can grip the entire cable back plate 10, facilitating its movement and transportation, and also aiding in its assembly.

[0099] In some optional embodiments, not all upright plates 310 are connected to handles 600. Some upright plates 310 may have fifth threaded holes 360, while others may not. In this case, some upright plates 310 are connected to handles 600, while others are not. This embodiment does not limit this. Of course, it is understood that each upright plate 310 may also be connected to a handle 600, and this embodiment does not limit this either.

[0100] In this embodiment, the panel 100 has upright plates 310 on both edges in the first direction X, and the handle 600 has a U-shaped structure. One end of the handle 600 is connected to the upright plate 310 on one edge of the panel 100 in the first direction X, and the other end of the handle 600 is connected to the upright plate 310 on the other edge of the panel 100 in the first direction X. This allows the handle 600 to be smaller in size and the panel 100 to be subjected to more balanced force.

[0101] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figures 19 and 21, the upright plate 310 is provided with weight-reducing holes that penetrate the upright plate 310 in the thickness direction. The weight-reducing holes serve two purposes: firstly, they reduce the weight of the upright plate 310, facilitating the lightweighting of the cable backplate 10; secondly, they allow heat generated by the connector body 213 to be transferred to the housing 400 and then dissipated to the outside through the housing 400. This ensures that the upright plate 310 does not excessively obstruct heat transfer to the housing 400, thus improving heat dissipation of the cable backplate 10 and preventing communication efficiency from being affected by excessively high temperatures.

[0102] Optionally, one or more weight-reducing holes may be provided; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0103] For example, as shown in FIG13, the end face of the upright plate 310 facing away from the panel 100 contacts the housing 400 to better support the housing 400, prevent the housing 400 from twisting and deforming, and ensure the appearance of the cable backplate 10.

[0104] In some alternative embodiments, the upright plate 310 is a trapezoidal plate, a rectangular plate, a square plate, or a plate of other shapes; this embodiment is not limited to this. In this embodiment, the upright plate 310 is a trapezoidal plate, and the longer end of the trapezoidal plate contacts the panel 100, while the shorter end contacts the housing 400.

[0105] This embodiment also provides a communication device, including the cable backplane 10 described above. The communication device provided in this embodiment has high communication performance and wide application range.

[0106] The communication device in this embodiment can be other electronic components, and this embodiment does not limit it. Figure 23 is a schematic diagram of the communication device provided in this embodiment, wherein there are two cable backplates 10, both of which are connected to the cabinet 20 of the communication device, and three plug-in boxes 30, all of which are plugged into the cable backplates 10. Figure 24 is a schematic diagram of the two cable backplates 10 and a single plug-in box 30 provided in this embodiment being plugged into each other.

[0107] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
