Description

Thin Client

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of Thin Client.

Background technology

The notion of the Thin Client of prior art (thin client) is the technology of a kind of utilization server centered computing (server-based-computing) framework, computer architecture is divided into client host and server end main frame, client host act as an input end, and the network by prior art connects message is conveyed to the server end main frame, and with this server end main frame as data operation and store end, and because client host only needs to be responsible for demonstration and input, so do not need processor, equipment such as internal memory and hard disk, has the simple feature of hardware structure so the name of Thin Client is arranged, also because of its designs simplification, so when company's row installing Thin Client number in office can be saved the cost on many hardware when replacing traditional desktop computer;

Yet, because the message between Thin Client and server end main frame thereof must be by network as transfer mode, so if in difficult wiring or because many floors and in the family or office that wireless network can't be contained, setting up of Thin Client will be inconvenience and operation consuming time.

Summary of the invention

Technical problem underlying to be solved by this invention is, overcome the above-mentioned defective that prior art exists, and provide a kind of Thin Client, the mode that the main frame of its client can pass through power line communication (PLC, power line communication) as and the server end main frame between the message transfer mode replace configuration with the power line communication technology.

The technical solution adopted for the present invention to solve the technical problems is:

A kind of Thin Client is characterized in that, comprising: a casing, and it is an inner housing that surrounds a spatial accommodation; One mainboard, it is the interface of a transmission and the information of reception, is located in the spatial accommodation of casing; One power line communication match connecto, it is located on the mainboard, and this power line communication match connecto has an output and goes into end face; One power connector end, its output that is connected in the power line communication match connecto is gone on the end face.

Aforesaid Thin Client, wherein the power line communication match connecto is integrally formed on the mainboard.

Aforesaid Thin Client, wherein mainboard is provided with at least one interface draw-in groove; And the power line communication match connecto is an interface card, and is inserted in the interface draw-in groove of mainboard.

Aforesaid Thin Client, wherein an end of power connector end is provided with plug, and this plug is located on the casing surface.

Aforesaid Thin Client, wherein power connector end is to extend the outer power lead of casing, and is provided with plug in power lead elongated end place.

Aforesaid Thin Client, wherein power connector end is the power supply joint chair of being located on the power line communication match connecto, and is exposed to outside the casing.

Aforesaid Thin Client, wherein the casing one side is provided with earpiece holes, microphone aperture, universal serial bus hole and display hole; And mainboard is provided with information carrying means such as source of sound, demonstration and universal serial bus.

Characteristics of the present invention are, when it is located at the place of powerline network configuration, can additionally lay the circuit of entity, can solve because the scope of setting up is excessive simultaneously and can't utilize the problem of wireless network as the mode of intelligence transmission of Thin Client and server end main frame thereof.

Description of drawings

The present invention is further described below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.

Fig. 3 is the schematic appearance of the third embodiment of the present invention.

The number in the figure explanation:

10 casings, 11 earpiece holes

12 microphone aperture, 13 universal serial bus holes

14 display holes, 20 mainboards

21 interface draw-in grooves 30,30A power line communication connect dress

40,40A, 40B power connector end 41B power connection

Embodiment

See also shown in Figure 1ly, Thin Client of the present invention is the computer equipment that is installed in environment such as family, office, and it includes a casing 10, a mainboard 20, a power line communication match connecto 30 and a power connector end 40 in a preferred embodiment.

Aforesaid casing 10 is an inner housing that surrounds a spatial accommodation, it can penetratingly be provided with several perforates on a side surface, but this perforate can further be designed to the display hole 14 that several universal serial bus holes 13 of the earpiece holes 11 of corresponding earphone output source, the microphone aperture 12 of corresponding wheat wind input source, corresponding universal serial bus USB reach corresponding to the display Port respectively.

Aforesaid mainboard 20 is an interface that transmits and receive information, and is located in the spatial accommodation of casing, and this interface is provided with devices such as source of sound, demonstration and universal serial bus, and can be provided with at least one interface draw-in groove 21 on it.

Aforesaid power line communication match connecto 30 is located on the mainboard 20, and its set-up mode is inserted on the interface draw-in groove 21 of mainboard 20 in the interface card that first kind of embodiment can be to separate; In addition, please further cooperate referring to shown in Figure 3, wherein on another kind of embodiment, the set-up mode of power line communication match connecto 30A can be and is integrally formed on the

mainboard

20, and and 20 of mainboards borrow the connected mode of the connector of a prior art as signal; And power line communication match connecto 30,30A are a kind of configuration by the power line communication technology, and then will have the power circuit in powerline network configuration place, as the translation interface that replaces the Network Transmission information mode, and because the power line communication technology is a kind of known systems, so do not add to describe in detail with regard to its details in the text, only with regard to the explanation of its configuration mode, and this power line communication match connecto 30 includes an output and goes into end face.
