[0048] It should be noted that the specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be practiced in a variety of ways beyond the specific details set forth herein without departing from the scope of the present application. It can be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the specific implementations disclosed in this specification, and that the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims.

[0049] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a communication device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 1, in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device 1000 can be a switch, a router, a server, a fiber transceiver, a fiber network card, or a base station, etc. The communication device 1000 comprises a housing 100 and one or more chassis 200 arranged in the housing 100, and the communication device 1000 can realize the communication function by using the one or more chassis 200. In addition, although not shown in the figure, the communication device 1000 can also comprise a power supply device, a heat dissipation device, etc. The power supply device can supply power to various electrical devices in the communication device 1000, and the heat dissipation device can be used to dissipate heat from the communication device 1000 to ensure reliable operation of the communication device 1000.

[0050] FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a chassis 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, in the embodiment, the chassis 200 comprises a cabinet 210, a backboard 220, and a plurality of pluggable units 230. The cabinet 210 is provided with a plurality of insertion frames 211 arranged in the height direction of the cabinet 210. The pluggable unit 230 is inserted into the insertion frame 211 along one side of the depth direction of the insertion frame 211, and the backboard 220 can be arranged on the other side of the depth direction of each insertion frame 211, and the backboard 220 is electrically connected with the pluggable unit 230. Based on the arrangement form of the insertion frames 211 in the cabinet, each pluggable unit 230 is inserted into the cabinet 210 in a transverse manner (i.e. the thickness direction of the pluggable unit is consistent with the height direction of the chassis), so this form of chassis 200 can also be a transverse insertion type chassis, and correspondingly, the insertion frame 211 in the transverse insertion type chassis can be referred to as a transverse insertion type insertion frame.

[0051] In a specific implementation, the cabinet 210 comprises a first side plate 210a, a second side plate 210b, a third side plate 210c, a fourth side plate 210d, and a plurality of partition plates 210e. The first side plate 210a and the second side plate 210b are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, the third side plate 210c and the fourth side plate 210d are arranged opposite to each other along a second direction, and the first side plate 210a, the third side plate 210c, the second side plate 210b, and the fourth side plate 210d are sequentially connected to form an inner part of the cabinet. The first direction can be the height direction of the cabinet 210, and the second direction can be the width direction of the cabinet 210. The plurality of partition plates 210e are arranged in the inner part of the cabinet 210 along the first direction, thereby separating the inner part of the cabinet into a plurality of insertion frames 211.

[0052] In an example, the pluggable unit 230 is provided with a connector at one end close to the backboard 220, and the backboard 220 is provided with a counter connector matched with the connector. When the pluggable unit 230 is inserted into the plug-in frame 211, the electrical connection between the pluggable unit 230 and the backboard 220 can be achieved through the matching of the connector and the counter connector.

[0053] In an example, the pluggable unit 230 is a single board. The pluggable unit 230 includes a chip and an optical module. The optical module has an optical interface capable of transmitting and receiving optical signals. The optical module can be used to receive the electrical signals transmitted by the chip, convert the electrical signals into optical signals, and output the optical signals by the optical interface. In addition, the optical module is also used to receive the optical signals input by the optical interface, convert the optical signals into electrical signals, and transmit the electrical signals to the chip. In this way, the pluggable unit 230 can communicate with external devices through the optical module.

[0054] When the case 200 is working, the pluggable unit 230 can receive external optical signals through the optical module, convert the optical signals into electrical signals, and transmit the electrical signals to the chip for processing. The chip transmits the processed signals to the backboard 220 through the connector of the pluggable unit 230, and then the backboard 220 transmits the signals to other pluggable units 230. After being processed by the chips on the other pluggable units 230, the signals are converted into optical signals by the optical modules on the other pluggable units 230 and output to the outside, so that the communication device 1000 can realize the network switching or network processing function.

[0055] FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of another case 200 provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 3, in the embodiment, the case 200 also includes a case body 210, a backboard 220, and a plurality of pluggable units 230. Different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the case 200 in the embodiment is a vertical insertion type case, and the plug-in frame 211 in the case 200 is a vertical insertion type plug-in frame. Specifically, the plurality of plug-in frames 211 of the case body 210 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the case body 210. Each pluggable unit 230 is inserted into the case body 210 along one side in the depth direction of the plug-in frame 211 in a vertical insertion manner (i.e., the thickness direction of the pluggable unit 230 is consistent with the width direction of the case 200). The backboard 220 is arranged on the other side in the depth direction of each plug-in frame 211, and the backboard 220 is electrically connected with the pluggable unit 230.

[0056] Similarly, the box 210 includes a first side plate 210a, a second side plate 210b, a third side plate 210c, a fourth side plate 210d, and a plurality of partition plates 210e. Among them, the first side plate 210a and the second side plate 210b are oppositely arranged along a first direction, the third side plate 210c and the fourth side plate 210d are oppositely arranged along a second direction, and the first side plate 210a, the third side plate 210c, the second side plate 210b and the fourth side plate 210d are sequentially connected to form the interior of the box. Among them, the first direction can be the width direction of the box 210, and the second direction can be the height direction of the box 210. The plurality of partition plates 210e are arranged in the interior of the box 210 along the first direction, so as to separate the interior of the box into a plurality of plug-in frames 211.

[0057] In addition, the electrical connection mode of the back plate 220 and the pluggable unit 230, the structure of the pluggable unit 230, and the working process of the case 200 in the embodiment can refer to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0058] In actual application, the case 200 can be configured with different types of pluggable units 230 for different use scenarios to realize matching functions for use scenarios. As known to those skilled in the art, the size specifications of different types of pluggable units 230 are also different, and the size specifications of the box interior plug-in frame 211 are often difficult to change once determined, which leads to the problem that some pluggable units 230 and plug-in frames 211 are not matched for plugging, thereby limiting the application of these pluggable units 230 in the case 200, and further leading to the difficulty of the case 200 to meet the functional requirements in some use scenarios.

[0059] To solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a plug-in frame splitting device 300, which can split the plug-in frame 211 into two or more sub-plug-in frames, and the split sub-plug-in frames can have different heights from the original plug-in frame 211. Therefore, the split plug-in frame 211 can adapt to more types of pluggable units, so that the case can meet the functional requirements in more scenarios without the need to redesign the box. The plug-in frame splitting device 300 provided by the embodiment of the present application and its application in the plug-in frame 211 will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] FIG. 4 is a simplified structural diagram of a plug-in frame 211 according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 5 is a structural diagram of a plug-in frame splitting device 300 applied to the plug-in frame 211 in FIG. 4. Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5 together, in the embodiment of the present application, the plug-in frame 211 includes a first side wall 211a, a second side wall 211b, a third side wall 211c and a fourth side wall 211d. The first side wall 211a and the second side wall 211b are oppositely arranged along a first direction, and the third side wall 211c and the fourth side wall 211d are oppositely arranged along a second direction. The first side wall 211a, the third side wall 211c, the second side wall 211b and the fourth side wall 211d are sequentially connected to form the plug-in frame 211. For the plug-in frame 211, the first direction is the height direction of the plug-in frame 211, and the second direction is the width direction of the plug-in frame 211.

[0061] As described above with reference to the structure of the box 210 in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first side wall 211a of the plug-in frame 211 can be formed by the inner wall of the first side plate 210a or the partition plate 210e of the box 210, the second side wall 211b of the plug-in frame 211 can be formed by the inner wall of the second side plate 210b or the partition plate 210e of the box 210, the third side wall 211c of the plug-in frame 211 can be formed by the inner wall of the third side plate 210c of the box 210, and the fourth side wall 211d of the plug-in frame 211 can be formed by the inner wall of the fourth side plate 210d of the box 210.

[0062] The plug-in frame splitting device 300 includes a plate body 310 and n partitions 320, and the plate body 310 and the n partitions 320 are respectively connected, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. The depth direction of the plug-in frame 211 is defined as a third direction, and the n partitions 320 are arranged in the plug-in frame 211 along the second direction and each extends along the third direction. Therefore, the n partitions 320 can divide the plug-in frame 211 into n+1 sub-plug-in frames 2111 arranged along the second direction. In FIGS. 4 and 5, n=1 is taken as an example, and the plug-in frame splitting device 300 can split the plug-in frame 211 into two sub-plug-in frames 2111. The plate body 310 is arranged in at least one of the sub-plug-in frames 2111 close to the third side wall 211c or close to the fourth side wall 211d, and the plate body 310 is slidably connected with at least one of the third side wall 211c or the fourth side wall 211d along the third direction. During the process of inserting the plug-in frame splitting device 300 into the plug-in frame 211, the sliding connection between the plate body 310 and the third side wall 211c and / or the fourth side wall 211d can provide a guiding effect for the plug-in frame splitting device 300, thereby effectively improving the insertion positioning accuracy and the insertion rate of the plug-in frame splitting device 300.

[0063] With the above-mentioned plug-in frame splitting device 300, the plug-in frame 211 can be split into at least two sub-plug-in frames 2111, and in the sub-plug-in frame 2111 where the plate body 310 is located, the plate body 310 occupies a certain space in the height direction of the sub-plug-in frame 2111, so that the sub-plug-in frame 2111 where the plate body 310 is located has a different height from the original plug-in frame 211, and the sub-plug-in frame 2111 without the plate body 310 can have the same height as the original plug-in frame 211. That is, the plug-in frame splitting device 300 can split the plug-in frame 211 into multiple sub-plug-in frames 2111 with the same or different height as the original plug-in frame 211, realizing flexible changes in the form of the plug-in frame 211, so that the plug-in frame 211 can be flexibly configured with the pluggable units inserted therein according to the functional requirements of the case, thereby expanding the use scenarios of the case.

[0064] Figs. 6 and 7 are exploded schematic views of the plug-in frame splitting device 300 shown in Fig. 5 from different angles. Referring to Figs. 4-7 together, in the present embodiment, the partition 320 can be an integral strip structure or a strip structure formed by splicing multiple plates, which is not limited in the present application. The partition 320 includes a first surface 320a and a second surface 320b, which are oppositely arranged along the second direction. The first surface 320a and the second surface 320b are respectively provided with two protrusions 321 extending along the third direction, and the two protrusions 321 of the first surface 320a are spaced apart along the first direction, and the two protrusions 321 of the second surface 320b are also spaced apart along the first direction. In this way, a slide 322 can be formed between the two protrusions 321 of the first surface 320a, and a slide 322 can also be formed between the two protrusions 321 of the second surface 320b.

[0065] The third side wall 211c and the fourth side wall 211d are respectively provided with a case slide 2112 extending along the third direction, and the case slide of the third side wall 211c is oppositely arranged along the second direction with the slide 322 formed by the first surface 320a, and the case slide 2112 of the fourth side wall 211d is oppositely arranged along the second direction with the slide 322 formed by the second surface 320b. When installing the pluggable unit into the sub-plug-in frame 2111, the pluggable unit can be guided by the slides on both sides of the sub-plug-in frame 2111 for insertion, so as to improve the smoothness of the pluggable unit.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, the partition 320 further comprises a third surface 320c and a fourth surface 320d arranged opposite to each other along the first direction, and the plate body 310 can be fixedly connected with the third surface 320c of the partition 320 or the fourth surface 320d of the partition 320. In this case, the plate body 310 can be an integral whole, and the plate body 310 can be arranged in the two sub-frames 2111. Thus, the two sub-frames 2111 split by the frame splitting device 300 have different heights from the original frame 211. For example, FIG. 5 shows a case where the plate body 310 is fixedly connected with the third surface 320c of the partition 320 when the partition 320 is an integral whole.

[0067] Exemplarily, the plate body 310 and the third surface 320c of the partition 320 can be fixedly connected by fasteners. In a specific implementation, the third surface 320c of the partition 320 is provided with two extension portions 323, one of which extends away from the third surface 320c along the second direction, and the other of which extends away from the fourth surface 320d along the second direction. The two extension portions 323 are substantially parallel to the plate body 310, and the two extension portions 323 are respectively provided with a plurality of first holes. Correspondingly, the plate body 310 is provided with a plurality of second holes arranged opposite to the first holes of the two extension portions 323. The fasteners can be used to fixedly connect the partition 320 and the plate body 310 by penetrating the first holes and the second holes.

[0068] The partition 320 comprises a first end 320e and a second end 320f arranged opposite to each other along the third direction, and the plate body 310 also comprises a first end 310a and a second end 310b along the third direction. When the frame splitting device 300 is inserted into the frame 211, the second end 320f of the partition 320 enters the frame 211 first, and the second end 310b of the plate body 310 enters the frame 211 first. It can also be understood that the second end 320f of the partition 320 is the end of the partition 320 close to the back plate of the cabinet, and the second end 310b of the plate body 310 is the end of the plate body 310 close to the back plate of the cabinet. The first end 310a of the plate body 310 can be flush with or slightly exceed the first end 320e of the partition 320, and the second end 310b of the plate body 310 can be flush with or slightly exceed the second end 320f of the partition 320.

[0069] The second end 310b of the plate body 310 is provided with a bent portion 311, the bent portion 311 is inclined relative to the plate body 310 towards the side where the partition 320 is located, and the included angle a between the bent portion 311 and the side surface of the plate body 310 towards the partition 320 satisfies: 90° < a < 180°. Based on this design, when the plug-in frame splitting device 300 is plugged into the plug-in frame 211, the inclined surface design of the side surface of the bent portion 311 away from the partition 320 can reduce the risk of interference between the panel and the first side wall 211a, and the inclined surface of the bent portion can also be in sliding fit with the end of the first side wall 211a, providing a certain guiding effect for the smooth insertion of the plug-in frame splitting device 300 into the plug-in frame 211.

[0070] In addition, the plate body 310 is provided with a guide portion 312 on at least one side in the second direction, at least one of the third side wall 211c and the fourth side wall 211d is provided with a sliding rail 2113, and the guide portion 312 of the plate body 310 is in sliding connection with the corresponding sliding rail 2113. For example, when the plate body 310 is arranged in the two sub plug-in frames 2111, the plate body 310 can be provided with a guide portion 312 on both sides in the second direction, and correspondingly, the third side wall 211c and the fourth side wall 211d are provided with sliding rails 2113, and the guide portions 312 on both sides of the plate body 310 are in sliding connection with the sliding rails 2113 of the third side wall 211c and the fourth side wall 211d respectively.

[0071] Please continue to refer to FIGS. 4 to 7, in the embodiment of the present application, the plug-in frame splitting device 300 further comprises a first fixing block 330, and the first fixing block 330 is arranged at the first end of the partition 320. The first fixing block 330 comprises a first guide surface 331 and a second guide surface 332, and the first guide surface 331 and the second guide surface 332 are arranged in the second direction. The first guide surface 331 and the second guide surface 332 are respectively arranged inclined relative to the third direction, and the included angle between the first guide surface 331 and the first surface 320a of the partition 320 is greater than 180°, and the included angle between the second guide surface 332 and the second surface 320b of the partition 320 is greater than 180°. It can also be understood that in the direction from the first end 320e of the partition 320 to the second end 320f of the partition 320, the distance between the first guide surface 331 and the second guide surface 332 in the second direction gradually increases.

[0072] For the sub-frame 2111 between the partition 320 and the third side wall 211c, the inclined design of the first guide surface 331 increases the width of the entrance of the sub-frame 2111 to a certain extent, and the first guide surface 331 can also provide a guiding effect for the initial insertion process of the pluggable unit, so that the pluggable unit is more convenient to install quickly, and the risk of collision between the pluggable unit and the end of the first fixed block 330 is reduced. Similarly, for the sub-frame 2111 between the partition 320 and the second side wall 211b, the inclined design of the second guide surface 332 can also facilitate the quick installation of the pluggable unit and reduce the risk of collision between the pluggable unit and the end of the first fixed block 330.

[0073] In some embodiments, in order to adapt to the structural design of the pluggable unit, the first guide surface 331 can be provided with a first avoiding slot 3311, which can provide an avoiding effect for the pluggable unit inserted into the sub-frame 2111 between the partition 320 and the third side wall 211c, that is, the partial structure of the pluggable unit in the sub-frame 2111 is located in the first avoiding slot 3311. In addition, the part of the pluggable unit located in the first avoiding slot 3311 can be detachably connected to the first fixed block 330 by a fastener, so as to improve the installation firmness and disassembly convenience of the pluggable unit in the sub-frame 2111.

[0074] Similarly, the second guide surface 332 can be provided with a second avoiding slot 3321, which can provide an avoiding effect for the pluggable unit inserted into the sub-frame 2111 between the partition 320 and the fourth side wall 211d. The part of the pluggable unit located in the second avoiding slot 3321 can be detachably connected to the first fixed block 330 by a fastener, so as to improve the installation firmness and disassembly convenience of the pluggable unit in the sub-frame 2111.

[0075] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 4-7, in the embodiments of the present application, the frame splitting device 300 further comprises a second fixed block 340 and a screw rod 350, the second fixed block 340 is arranged at the second end 320f of the partition 320, the first fixed block 330, the partition 320 and the second fixed block 340 are respectively provided with mounting holes, and the mounting holes of the three are coincident in projection in the third direction. The screw rod 350 is sequentially arranged through the mounting holes of the first fixed block 330, the partition 320 and the second fixed block 340, and the end of the screw rod 350 is exposed on the side of the second fixed block 340 away from the partition 320, so as to be threadedly connected with the structural member of the case or the communication equipment in which the case is located, and the frame splitting device 300 is fixed in the case.

[0076] In an implementation, the plug-in frame splitting device 300 includes two screws 350, and the plug-in frame splitting device 300 is fixedly connected to the case through the two screws 350, so as to improve the installation firmness of the plug-in frame splitting device 300 in the case.

[0077] FIGS. 8a-8d are several side sectional views of the plug-in frame 211 at the A-A sectional line shown in FIG. 4. Referring to FIGS. 8a-8d, in the embodiment of the present application, the plug-in frame splitting device 300 further includes a spring sheet 360, which can be arranged at one end of the plug-in frame splitting device 300 close to the back plate 220, or arranged at one side surface of the plug-in frame splitting device 300 facing the first side wall 211a, or arranged at one side surface of the plug-in frame splitting device 300 facing the second side wall 211b. The plug-in frame 211 is provided with an in-place detection circuit, which can be arranged at the back plate, the first side wall 211a or the second side wall 211b. In the case that the plug-in frame splitting device 300 is not installed in the plug-in frame 211, the in-place detection circuit is in an open state. After the plug-in frame splitting device 300 is inserted into the plug-in frame 211, if the in-place detection circuit is turned on by the spring sheet 360, it indicates that the plug-in frame splitting device 300 is installed in place. If the in-place detection circuit is still in the open state, it indicates that the plug-in frame splitting device 300 is not installed in place, prompting the user to adjust the position of the plug-in frame splitting device 300 again until the spring sheet 360 can turn on the in-place detection circuit.

[0078] In an implementation, the in-place detection circuit includes a membrane switch, which can turn on the in-place detection circuit in a pressed state. In this way, after the plug-in frame splitting device 300 is installed in place, the spring sheet 360 can elastically press against the membrane switch to turn on the in-place detection circuit.

[0079] Referring to FIG. 8a, in an embodiment, the spring sheet 360 can be arranged at the second end 320f of the partition 320, and the in-place detection circuit is arranged at the back plate. The spring sheet 360 can press against the back plate 220 to turn on the in-place detection circuit after the plug-in frame splitting device 300 is installed in place. It is worth mentioning that, in the case that the second fixed block is arranged at the second end 320f of the partition 320, the spring sheet 360 can be arranged at the side of the second fixed block away from the partition 320. In addition, in the case that the second end of the plate body 310 is provided with a bent portion, the end of the spring sheet 360 away from the partition 320 is arranged beyond the bent portion, so as to guarantee the contact reliability of the spring sheet 360 and the back plate.

[0080] Referring to FIG. 8b, in an embodiment, the elastic sheet 360 can be arranged on the second end 310b of the plate body 310, and the in-place detection circuit is arranged on the back plate 220. The elastic sheet 360 can be pressed against the back plate 220 after the frame splitting device 300 is installed in place, so as to turn on the in-place detection circuit. In the case where the second end of the plate body 310 is provided with a bending portion, the elastic sheet 360 can be arranged on the bending portion, for example, can be arranged on the inclined surface of the bending portion, so as to ensure the contact reliability of the elastic sheet 360 and the back plate.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 8c, in an embodiment, the elastic sheet 360 can be arranged on one side surface of the plate body 310 facing the first side wall 211a, and the in-place detection circuit is arranged on the first side wall 211a. The elastic sheet 360 can be pressed against the first side wall 211a after the frame splitting device 300 is installed in place, so as to turn on the in-place detection circuit.

[0082] Referring to FIG. 8d, in an embodiment, the elastic sheet 360 can be arranged on one side surface of the partition 320 facing the second side wall 211b, and the in-place detection circuit is arranged on the second side wall 211b. The elastic sheet 360 can be pressed against the second side wall 211b after the frame splitting device 300 is installed in place, so as to turn on the in-place detection circuit.
