Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network cabinet technology, specifically a patch panel with cable management and concealment functions. Background Technology
[0002] Patch panels are the core hub of a structured cabling system, enabling flexible cross-connection of vertical backbone and horizontal cabling. Through patch cord management, network topology can be quickly adjusted, avoiding damage caused by directly plugging and unplugging device ports. However, existing network cabinet patch panels require additional handling to conceal the cables, resulting in a need for further tidiness after cable management to maintain cabinet cleanliness, thus affecting overall usability.
[0003] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies, existing technology (Chinese patent CN222301925U, published on 2025-01-03) provides a cabinet patch panel with a housing. The housing has multiple fixing holes inside, and the patch panel is disposed within the housing. Fixing grooves are located inside the patch panel, and fixing pins are slidably connected inside the fixing grooves. A fixing spring is located at one end of the fixing pin, inside the fixing groove. A fixing handle is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing pin. A sliding groove is located inside the housing, and a sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. By moving the four fixing handles to one side, the four fixing pins are separated from the four fixing holes. Pulling the patch panel to one side then moves the two sliding blocks to one side within the two sliding grooves, thereby moving the patch panel to the outside of the housing, facilitating maintenance of the circuits connected inside the patch panel.
[0004] The aforementioned mechanism utilizes a quick-release mechanism to disassemble the patch panel. However, in actual use, existing patch panels are already quickly installed and fixed using bolts. Furthermore, the current technology does not allow for the concealment of wires, resulting in the wires being directly exposed to the outside environment inside the cabinet, which inconveniences the subsequent use of the servers inside the cabinet. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a patch panel with cable management and concealment functions to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a patch panel with cable management and concealment function, comprising a patch panel body, wherein the surface of the patch panel body is provided with a plug hole, and a conductor body is installed at the rear end of the patch panel body; a shielding frame is snapped into place at the rear end of the patch panel body, and a disassembly and assembly mechanism is provided at the connection position between the patch panel body and the shielding frame; and an auxiliary cable management mechanism for guiding the conductor body is provided inside the shielding frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the auxiliary wiring mechanism includes a wiring groove, which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shielding frame. The top of the shielding frame is threaded with a push rod, and the bottom end of the push rod is rotatably connected with a pressing plate. The wiring groove and the inner side of the pressing plate are engaged with a wire body. By adjusting the bending angle of the wire according to the insertion position, the rear end of the wire can be engaged with the wiring groove, thereby realizing the wiring process of the wire. This effectively avoids the wire from becoming tangled after installation and can quickly restrict and fix the position of the wire.
[0008] Furthermore, the pressing plate is located at the upper end of the cable tray, and the pressing plate and the shielding frame are slidably connected. The push rod rotates and pushes the pressing plate downward, thereby fixing the wire body inside the cable tray and the pressing plate. This achieves the simultaneous processing of the wire and its concealment, preventing the wire from being directly exposed to the outside. At the same time, the wire is guided to both sides and completely concealed by a separate shielding frame, avoiding direct exposure of the wire to the outside.
[0009] Furthermore, both the front and rear ends of the inner side of the shielding frame are vertically provided with sliding grooves, and the side of the pressing plate is provided with a slider that matches the sliding groove. The pressing plate and the shielding frame are connected by sliding grooves and sliders to form a sliding mechanism. When the push rod moves downward, the pressing plate at the bottom of the push rod and the shielding frame are connected. The pressing plate is connected to the slider, and the slider slides inside the sliding groove, so that the movement of the pressing plate can be smoother and effectively avoid the pressing plate from getting stuck during the movement.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper surface of the shield is provided with a threaded groove that matches the push rod, and the push rod passes through and extends into the interior of the shield.
[0011] Furthermore, the disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a docking block, which is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the shielding frame. The front end of the patch panel body is provided with a docking hole that matches the docking block, and the top of the patch panel body is engaged with a locking block. The surface of the docking block is provided with a locking groove that matches the locking block.
[0012] Furthermore, a return spring is wound around the upper end of the outer side of the card block, and the card block and the wiring frame body form an elastic structure through the return spring.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. By adjusting the bending angle of the wire according to the insertion position, the rear end of the wire can be locked in place with the cable tray, thereby achieving the cable routing and effectively preventing the wire from becoming tangled after installation. It can quickly restrict and fix the position of the wire.
[0015] Furthermore, the push rod rotates and pushes the pressing plate downward, thereby fixing the wire body inside the cable tray and the pressing plate. This achieves the simultaneous processing and concealment of the wire, preventing it from being directly exposed to the outside. At the same time, the wire is guided to both sides and completely hidden by a separate shield, avoiding direct exposure to the outside.
[0016] Furthermore, as the push rod moves downward, the pressing plate at the bottom of the push rod and the baffle frame form a sliding connection. The pressing plate is connected to the slider, which slides inside the groove, thus making the movement of the pressing plate smoother and effectively preventing the pressing plate from getting stuck during movement.
[0017] 2. The shielding bracket is connected to the patch panel body by passing through the docking hole with the docking block, thereby allowing the position of the shielding bracket to be basically positioned and restricted. This makes it easy to replace different shielding brackets according to the needs of different patch panels, increasing the flexibility of the shielding bracket in use.
[0018] Furthermore, after the locking block is pulled upwards and inserted into the docking hole, the pulling force applied to the locking block is removed. The locking block automatically resets due to the elasticity of the return spring and engages with the slot, thereby locking the docking block and the docking hole. This effectively prevents the docking block from separating from the docking hole due to the shield being pulled outwards directly, thus improving the stability of the patch panel body and the shield during connection.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The technical solution presented addresses the problem that existing network cabinet patch panels require additional handling to hide the cables during use, leading to a need for further concealment after cable management to maintain cabinet cleanliness and impacting overall usability. This patch panel with cable management and concealment features an auxiliary cable routing mechanism, including a patch panel body 1 with insertion holes 2 on its surface and a cable body 3 mounted at its rear end. A shielding frame 8 is engaged at the rear end of the patch panel body 1, and a disassembly / removal mechanism is provided at the connection point between the patch panel body 1 and the shielding frame 8. The auxiliary cable routing mechanism includes a cable tray 4 for cable routing. The slot 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shielding frame 8. The top of the shielding frame 8 is threadedly connected to the push rod 6, and the bottom end of the push rod 6 is rotatably connected to the pressing plate 5. The inner side of the cable tray 4 and the pressing plate 5 is engaged with the wire body 3. The pressing plate 5 is set at the upper end of the cable tray 4, and the pressing plate 5 and the shielding frame 8 are slidably connected. The front and rear ends of the inner side of the shielding frame 8 are vertically provided with sliding grooves 9, and the side of the pressing plate 5 is provided with a slider 10 that matches the sliding groove 9. The pressing plate 5 and the shielding frame 8 form a sliding mechanism through the sliding of the sliding groove 9 and the slider 10. The upper surface of the shielding frame 8 is provided with a threaded groove 7 that matches the push rod 6, and the push rod 6 passes through and extends into the interior of the shielding frame 8.
[0028] In this example, the wire to be connected is first inserted into the rear end of the patch panel body 1. Then, the bending angle of the wire is adjusted according to the insertion position so that the rear end of the wire can be engaged with the cable tray 4, thus achieving the cable routing. After the basic cable routing is completed, the push rod 6 is rotated. The push rod 6 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 7 on the surface of the shield 8, allowing the push rod 6 to push the pressing plate 5 downward. The positions of the pressing plate 5 and the cable tray 4 correspond to each other, thus fixing the wire body 3 inside the cable tray 4 and the pressing plate 5. This achieves both cable routing and concealment, preventing the wire from being directly exposed to the outside. The wire is also guided to both sides and completely hidden by separate shields, preventing direct exposure. Figure 6 As shown, during the downward movement of the push rod 6, the pressing plate 5 at the bottom of the push rod 6 and the shield 8 form a sliding connection. The pressing plate 5 is connected to the slider 10, and the slider 10 slides inside the groove 9, so that the movement of the pressing plate 5 can be smoother and effectively avoid the pressing plate 5 from getting stuck during the movement.
[0029] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 5 The technical solution shown addresses the problem that existing patch panels, after concealing wires, are inconvenient to disassemble and replace when they are not compatible with the patch panel itself. This patch panel with cable management and concealment function discloses a disassembly and assembly mechanism. The shielding frame 8 has an auxiliary cable arrangement mechanism inside for guiding the wire body 3. The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a docking block 11, which is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the shielding frame 8. The front end of the patch panel body 1 has a docking hole 12 that matches the docking block 11, and the top of the patch panel body 1 is engaged with a locking block 13. The surface of the docking block 11 has a locking groove 14 that matches the locking block 13. A return spring 15 is wound around the upper end of the outer side of the locking block 13, and the locking block 13 and the patch panel body 1 form an elastic structure through the return spring 15.
[0030] In this example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the shielding bracket 8 passes through the docking hole 12 via the docking block 11 and engages with the patch panel body 1, thereby allowing the position of the shielding bracket 8 to be basically positioned and restricted. This facilitates the replacement of different shielding brackets 8 according to the needs of different patch panels, increasing the flexibility of the shielding bracket 8 in use; as Figure 5As shown, when the locking block 13 is pulled upwards and the docking block 11 is inserted into the docking hole 12, the pulling force applied to the locking block 13 is removed. The locking block 13 is automatically reset by the elastic force of the return spring 15 and engages with the slot 14, thereby locking the docking block 11 and the docking hole 12. This effectively prevents the docking block 11 from separating from the docking hole 12 due to the shielding frame 8 being pulled directly outwards, thus improving the stability of the patch panel body 1 and the shielding frame 8 during connection.
