[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] This embodiment provides a wiring rack for use in a cabinet.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the wiring rack comprises:

[0028] The wiring rack body 100 is provided with a wiring groove 110, and the wiring groove 110 is longitudinally through-shaped, and the bottom of the wiring groove 110 is provided with a plurality of buckle limit holes 111, and the plurality of buckle limit holes 111 are arranged in a horizontal interval; the wiring rack body 100 is provided with two support parts 120 on both sides of the wiring groove 110, and the bottom end of the support part 120 is provided with a first tool-free buckle 121 for inserting into the installation hole pre-opened in the cabinet. Among them, the first tool buckle 121 in this embodiment is a plug-in piece, and in other embodiments, a V-shaped buckle or a magnetic buckle, etc. can also be used. The buckle limit hole 111 in this embodiment

[0029] In the embodiment, longitudinally extending long strip holes are used. In other embodiments, square holes or round holes may also be used.

[0030] The partition plug 200 is installed in the wiring trough 110 and is longitudinally extended to divide the wiring trough 110 into a strong wire trough 300 and a weak wire trough 400; at least one second tool-free buckle 210 is provided at the bottom of the partition plug 200; the second tool-free buckle 210 is selectively inserted into the buckle limiting holes 111 arranged in a transverse interval to adjust the proportion of the strong wire trough 300 and the weak wire trough 400, and is fixedly connected to the wiring rack body 100. In this embodiment, the second tool-free buckle 210 is a plug-in, and in other embodiments, a V-shaped buckle or a magnetic buckle can also be used.

[0031] When installing the wiring rack provided in this embodiment, you can first design how to install the partition plug 200 based on the amount of strong wires and weak wires. If there are the same number of strong wires and weak wires, the partition plug 200 is inserted in the middle of the wiring trough 110; otherwise, when there are more strong wires, the partition plug 200 is moved to one end of the weak wire trough 400, or when there are more weak wires, the partition plug 200 is moved to one end of the strong wire trough 300. Therefore, the wiring rack provided in this embodiment can select a suitable position to install the partition plug 200 according to the amount of strong wires and weak wires on site, so as to achieve the effect of flexible installation and easy layout. Furthermore, due to the partition

[0032] The plug-in 200 cooperates with the buckle limiting hole 111 of the wiring rack body 100 through the second tool-free buckle 210, so no additional tools are required during installation, and the assembly personnel only need to manually operate to install and position, so it is easy to install.

[0033] After the wiring rack body 100 and the partition plug 200 are assembled in place, the wiring rack body 100 is then installed on the machine.

[0034] The cabinet can be installed on the top surface of the cabinet or on the side of the cabinet. Corresponding mounting holes need to be set on the cabinet in advance. On the one hand, since the wiring rack body 100 cooperates with the mounting hole of the cabinet through the first tool-free buckle 121, no additional tools are required during installation, and only manual operation by the assembler is required to install and position it, so it has the effect of convenient installation. On the other hand, since the wiring rack cooperates with the cabinet, it can be expanded accordingly according to the expansion of the cabinet in the computer room, so it has the effect of being easy to cooperate with the wiring layout.

[0035] Furthermore, the support portion 120 and the groove wall of the wiring groove 110 are in a V shape, and when the support portion 120 approaches the wiring groove, elastic potential energy is generated.

[0036] In this embodiment, by setting the support part 120 with elastic potential energy, it can be more convenient, simpler and more reliable in the process of tool-free installation. Specifically, when the wiring rack body 100 needs to be installed on the cabinet, the first tool-free buckle 121 on the support part 120 on one side can be inserted into the installation hole of the cabinet first, and then the support part 120 on the other side is compressed inward by applying a force, and then the first tool-free buckle 121 on the support part 120 on the other side is inserted into the installation hole of the cabinet; at this time, the two support parts 120 have elastic potential energy, so that the two first tool-free buckles 121 inserted into the installation holes on both sides respectively generate a force against the installation holes, so as to achieve the effect of fixing each other after insertion. In the above installation process, the assembly only needs to make the support part 120 produce elastic deformation. The installation process is simple and convenient, and the elastic force after installation can increase the reliability of the fixation.

[0037] Furthermore, the wiring rack body 100 is made of sheet metal with uniform wall thickness, and is bent to form the wiring trough 110 and two support parts 120 located on both sides of the wiring trough 110; the support parts 120 generate elastic deformation when bent toward the wiring trough 110.

[0038] In this embodiment, the wiring rack body 100 is made of sheet metal, and when the sheet metal is bent multiple times to form a horizontal state, it will have the effect of high strength and strong load-bearing capacity. Of course, in other embodiments, the wiring rack body 100 can also adopt other structures, such as using a structure of multiple sections of pivotally connected metal plates to form a V shape, and correspondingly adding elastic materials such as springs or sponges in the V shape to provide elastic potential energy.

[0039] Furthermore, the partition plug 200 includes two open support legs 220 , and the bottom of the two support legs 220 is provided with the second tool-free buckle 210 ; the second tool-free buckle 210 of the two support legs 220 is inserted into two laterally adjacent buckle limiting holes 111 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the partition plug 200 includes two supporting legs 220 to form a support, so that the support can be more reliable, and the partition plug 200 can stand more stably.

[0041] Furthermore, one end of the two supporting legs 220 is connected, and the other end is open, so that the partition plug 200 is V-shaped, and elastic potential energy is generated when the two supporting legs 220 are close to each other.

[0042] As described above, the partition plug 200 can make the tool-free installation process more convenient, simpler and more reliable by increasing the elasticity. The specific beneficial effect is similar to the above-mentioned support part 120 of the wiring rack body 100 adding an elastic part. Please refer to the above for the specific description, which will not be repeated here.

[0043] Furthermore, the partition plug 200 is made of sheet metal with uniform wall thickness, and the two support legs 220 are formed by bending; and the support legs 220 generate elastic deformation when approaching each other.

[0044] In this embodiment, the partition plug 200 is made of sheet metal, and when the sheet metal is bent multiple times to form a horizontal state, it will have high strength and strong load-bearing capacity. Of course, in other embodiments, the partition plug 200 can also adopt other structures, such as using a structure of multiple sections of pivotally connected metal plates to form a V shape, and correspondingly adding elastic materials such as springs or sponges in the V shape to provide elastic potential energy.

[0045] Furthermore, the bottom of the wiring groove 110 is provided with at least two said buckle limit holes 111 at the same longitudinal position; the partition plug 200 is provided with at least two matching second tool-free buckles 210; when installed in place, the partition plug 200 is inserted into at least one of the multiple buckle limit holes 111 in the longitudinal direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, two or more buckle limiting holes 111 are provided in the longitudinal direction, so that the partition plug extending in the longitudinal direction can be more stable after being inserted. Of course, in other embodiments, other solutions can also be provided to increase the stability of fixation, for example, the number of buckle limiting holes 111 is one, and the buckle limiting hole 111 is provided to be sufficiently long in the longitudinal direction.

[0047] Furthermore, the groove wall and the groove bottom of the wiring groove 110 are provided with wire tying holes 130 , and the partition plug 200 is provided with a wire tying hole 230 .

[0048] In this embodiment, by providing cable tying holes, when there are fewer cables, the cables can be directly fixed to the cable tying holes 130 at the bottom of the wiring trough 110 with cable ties; or when there are more cables, the cables can be fixed to the wall of the wiring trough 110 and the cable tying holes of the partition plug 200 with cable ties.

[0049] A wire passing hole 140 is provided on the groove side of the wiring groove 110, and a wire passing hole 240 is provided on the partition plug 200. The wire passing holes 140 and 240 are in a U shape with an open top, and a cable protection ring (not shown) is provided inside the wire passing hole 600.

[0050] In this embodiment, the cable running horizontally can be fixed by providing the wire hole 140. Further, the cable protection ring can be provided to protect the cable and reduce the risk of cutting and abrasion.
