Description

Hub with Presentation Function

Technical field

The utility model is about a kind of hub, particularly about a kind of hub with Presentation Function.

Background technology

Make a general survey of present computer peripheral equipment; the sci-tech product that uses through regular meeting in many people's daily lifes; its appearance forrns immobilization; function is simple; has only so-called high-tech product orientation; and lack exchanging and interaction between product itself and the user, and like this, formed the contradiction between product technicalization and the product hommization.

In the more and more flourishing environment of network now, hub be computer with computer between be connected most basic transmission bridge, also be often to be selected one of product of buying by the consumer.Many network jack are arranged on the hub, and each network jack is called one " port " (Port), is used for connecting the netting twine of each computer, when data will transmit, all can be divided into very little one by one " package " earlier and transmit on the network.The function of hub is simple package being delivered on each connectivity port, and a frequency band is all shared in all connectivity ports on it, and the mode of using when transmitting package is a most basic equipment in the network configuration.The hub of seeing on the market at present only possesses basic line concentration function and shows the information indicator light that connects the machine situation, and ignored the design of hommization and requirement attractive in appearance.

Now, the global economy development rapidly, dog-eat-dog, the hub correlation technique also reaches its maturity, the technical level of various products is all very nearly the same, and consumer's self-consciousness is more and more higher, when examining a product closely, whether its outward appearance can try to please the user, has become the final major criterion of selecting and determining of consumer.

Under such background, if will improve competitiveness of product, must promote the surcharge outside the product basic function, for it incorporates science and technology hommization element in addition, attract consumer's attention, bring bigger benefit.

The utility model content

For overcoming the shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art, main purpose of the present utility model is to provide a kind of hub with Presentation Function, and it is available for users at least one light-emitting diode is set arbitrarily, and the switch of this light-emitting diode of sequencing as required.

For reaching above-mentioned and other purpose, the hub with Presentation Function of the present utility model comprises: recess is formed at least one side of hub; At least one socket is formed in this recess, connects for light-emitting diode and puts and be electrically connected to this hub; At least one light-emitting diode connects and puts on this socket, and electrically connects by this socket and this hub; Program-controlled module is set control program for the user, and is controlled this light-emitting diode switch and/or brightness according to this control program.In addition, the hub with Presentation Function of the present utility model also can comprise: covering plate, it is detachably to hide this hub recess.

In sum, compare with existing hub with Presentation Function, hub with Presentation Function of the present utility model, except being available for users to that at least one light-emitting diode is set arbitrarily, the switch of this light-emitting diode of sequencing as required also, to demonstrate personalized pattern, bring into play the space of free originality for the user and go the decorative product outward appearance, increase Design about Product Humanity and its surcharge.

Embodiment

Below be conjunction with figs., describe the embodiment with hub of Presentation Function of the present utility model in detail.

Fig. 1 shows the basic block diagram with hub 1 of Presentation Function of the present utility model, as shown in the figure, the hub 1 with Presentation Function of the present utility model comprises: recess 12, at least one socket 14, at least one light-emitting diode 16, program-controlled module 18.

Wherein, this recess 12 is formed at least one side with hub 1 of Presentation Function of the present utility model.As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, this hub 1 with Presentation Function has the side 12a that is provided with runners, and with respect to the another side 12b of this side 12a, this recess 12 is formed on this side 12b.In addition, the shape of this recess 12 can be the geometric figure such as rectangle, circle, ellipse of square or rectangular etc.

This at least one socket 14 is formed in this recess 12, connects for light-emitting diode 16 and puts and be electrically connected to this hub with Presentation Function 1.In the present embodiment, this socket 14 can connect to be put on printed circuit board (PCB) (figure is mark not), and electrically connects by this printed circuit board (PCB) and this control circuit with hub 1 of Presentation Function.Please cooperate and consult Fig. 2, in addition, each socket 14 includes positive electrode jack 14a and negative electrode jack 14b, for these light-emitting diode 16 conducting working powers.Need special instruction person, the quantity of this socket 14 can be increased and decreased according to user's needs.Good selection is that the quantity of this socket 14 can be more than predetermined light-emitting diode quantity, the usefulness that supplies the user in the future to expand.In the present embodiment, this recess 12 is a square, and is formed with 16 * 16 totally 256 sockets 14.

This at least one light-emitting diode 16 is used to connect to be put at this socket 14, and electrically connects by this socket 14 and the hub 1 with Presentation Function of the present utility model.The quantity of this light-emitting diode 16, color, brightness and/or shape all can be increased and decreased and/or be adjusted according to demand.Brought forward is described, and this light-emitting diode 16 comprises anodal pin and the negative pole pin corresponding to the positive electrode jack 14a of this socket 14 and negative electrode jack 14b, because this light-emitting diode 16 is existing assemblies, so no longer illustrate at this.In the present embodiment, the hub 1 with Presentation Function of the present utility model connects respectively on these 256 sockets 14 and is equipped with this light-emitting diode 16, and 256 light-emitting diodes 16 are arranged altogether.
