Abstract

An interconnection system includes a first board group, a second board group orthogonal to the first board group, and a center backplane arranged between the first board group and the second board group. The first board group includes a number of first boards parallel to each other and the second board group includes a number of second boards parallel to each other. Curved male connectors re arranged on each of the first boards and curved female connectors are arranged on each of the second boards. The curved male connectors and the curved female connectors directly cooperate and are connected in one-to-one correspondence.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An interconnection system, comprising:
a first board group comprising a plurality of first boards substantially parallel to each other; a second board group orthogonal to the first board group, the second board group comprising a plurality of second boards parallel to each other; a center backplane arranged between the first board group and the second board group; a plurality of curved male connectors arranged on each of the first boards; and a plurality of curved female connectors arranged on each of the second boards, wherein the curved male connectors and the curved female connectors directly cooperate and are connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

2 . The interconnection system according to claim 1 , wherein the interconnection system comprises a perpendicular and orthogonal interconnection system.

3 . The interconnection system according to claim 1 , wherein the center backplane has a hollow frame structure.

4 . The system according to claim 3 , wherein a first connector electrically connected to one of the curved male connectors is arranged on each of the first boards, wherein a second connector electrically connected to one of the curved female connectors is arranged on each of the second boards, and wherein third connectors and fourth connectors electrically connected to the first connectors and the second connectors are separately arranged on two perpendicular sides of the center backplane.

5 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the center backplane is L-shaped.

6 . The system according to claim 5 , wherein a first connector electrically connected to one of the curved male connectors is arranged on each of the first boards, wherein a second connector electrically connected to one of the curved female connectors is arranged on each of the second boards, and wherein third connectors and fourth connectors electrically connected to the first connectors and the second connectors are separately arranged on sides of the center backplane.

7 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the center backplane comprises a plurality of independent backplanes.

8 . The system according to claim 7 , wherein the center backplane comprises a longitudinal backplane and a transverse backplane.

9 . The system according to claim 8 , wherein a first connector electrically connected to one of the curved male connectors is arranged on each of the first boards, wherein a second connector electrically connected to one of the curved female connectors is arranged on each of the second boards, and wherein third connectors and fourth connectors electrically connected to the first connectors and the second connectors are separately arranged on the longitudinal backplane and the transverse backplane.

10 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the interconnection system is arranged in a main cabinet with a plurality of guide rails, and the first boards and the second boards are orthogonal after being installed along the guide rails of the main cabinet.

11 . A communications device, wherein the communications device uses the interconnection system according to claim 1 .
