DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides a position compensation mechanism, including a main box body 1 and an adjustment component 2 connected to the main box body 1, the adjustment component 2 can be adjusted relative to the main box body 1 along a first direction and a direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the first direction is the arrangement direction of the adjustment component 2 and the main box body 1.

[0038] The position compensation mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a main body box 1 and an adjustment component 2 connected to the main body box 1. The adjustment component 2 can be adjusted relative to the main body box 1 along a first direction and a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first direction is the arrangement direction of the adjustment component 2 and the main body box 1. The above-mentioned position compensation mechanism can be set on the top of the cabinet, the main body box 1 is fixedly connected to the cabinet, and the docking interface on the cabinet can be set on the adjustment component 2. When placing the cabinet, it is only necessary to achieve aesthetics, and there is no need to repeatedly adjust the position of the cabinet to achieve absolute tightness and alignment. By adjusting the position of the adjustment component 2 relative to the main chassis, position compensation can be achieved in the first direction and a direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the installation gap between two adjacent cabinets can be made up, so that the docking interface on the adjustment component 2 is docked with the docking interface on other cabinets, which can reduce the difficulty of docking construction between cabinet equipment.

[0039] In the position compensation mechanism provided in the above-mentioned embodiment of the invention, in order to realize that the position of the adjustment component 2 is adjustable relative to the main box body 1 along a first direction and a direction perpendicular to the first direction, the adjustment component 2 may include a first adjustment member 21, a second adjustment member 22 and a third adjustment member 23, the first adjustment member 21 is connected to the second adjustment member 22 and can be adjusted relative to the second adjustment member 22 along the first direction, the second adjustment member 22 is connected to the third adjustment member 23 and can be adjusted relative to the third adjustment member 23 along the second direction, the third adjustment member 23 is connected to the main box body 1 and can be adjusted relative to the main box body 1 along the third direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0040] In a possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, two side frames of the main box body 1 near the adjustment component 2 are respectively connected with side baffles 11, and the two side baffles 11 are arranged parallel to each other, and each side baffle 11 is formed with at least one folded edge 111 on the side away from the main box body 1; Figure 3 As shown, the two sides of the third adjusting member 23 have slideways 231 that match the folded edges 111. The folded edges 111 on the two side baffles 11 can be slidably inserted into the corresponding slideways 231 relative to the third adjusting member 23. Figure 4 As shown, the third adjusting member 23 can be adjusted relative to the main housing 1 along the third direction. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the third adjusting member 23 can slide up and down along the third direction relative to the main box body 1 to achieve position adjustment of the third adjusting member 23 .

[0041] Specifically, the folded edge 111 on each side baffle 11 can be bent toward the other side baffle 11 opposite to it. Figure 2As shown, two folded edges 111 are formed on each side baffle 11 and are bent toward the other side baffle 11 opposite to it. In this structure, the third adjusting member 23 is located between the two side baffles 11, and two side surfaces of the third adjusting member 23 are formed on slideways 231 corresponding to the folded edges 111. In another embodiment, the folded edges on each side baffle 11 can also be bent away from the other side baffle 11 opposite to it. In this structure, the third adjusting member 23 is located outside the two side baffles 11, and slideways 231 corresponding to the folded edges are formed on both sides of the third adjusting member 23.

[0042] Specifically, a shielding platform 12 and a lower baffle 13 are connected to the side of the main housing 1 adjacent to the adjustment component 2, and the shielding platform 12 and the lower baffle 13 are respectively connected to the two ends of the side baffle 11, and the width of the shielding platform 12 and the lower baffle 13 along the first direction is equal to the distance between the main housing 1 and the third adjustment member 23. The setting of the shielding platform 12 and the lower baffle 13 can seal the gap between the third adjustment member 23 and the main housing 1, and can prevent foreign objects from the outside from invading the interior of the position compensation structure, thereby improving the protection level of the equipment and making it safer for the cabinet equipment and maintenance personnel. In actual applications, the shielding platform 12 and the lower baffle 13 can prevent foreign objects with a diameter greater than 2.5 mm (for example, dust, particles or insects, etc.) from entering the equipment.

[0043] In a possible implementation, in order to achieve the position adjustment of the second adjusting member 22 relative to the third adjusting member 23 along the second direction, at least one sliding groove 221 extending along the second direction relative to the third adjusting member 23 may be formed on one side of the second adjusting member 22 adjacent to the third adjusting member 23, for example. Figure 7 As shown, the second adjusting member 22 is formed with four sliding grooves 221; the third adjusting member 23 is provided with hooks 232 corresponding to the sliding grooves 221 one by one. Figure 3 The hook 232 can be inserted into the corresponding sliding groove 221 relative to the second adjusting member 22, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the second adjusting member 22 can be adjusted relative to the third adjusting member 23 along the second direction. Specifically, along the second direction, the third adjusting member 23 is blocked by the side baffle 11 and cannot slide, while the sliding groove 221 on the second adjusting member 22 and the hook 232 on the third adjusting member 23 can slidably cooperate to achieve the movement of the second adjusting member 22 relative to the third adjusting member 23 along the second direction.

[0044] Specifically, Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, along the second direction, the size of the second adjusting member 22 is larger than the size of the third adjusting member 23, so that the second adjusting member 22 and the third adjusting member 23 are sealed within the stroke of position adjustment, which can prevent foreign objects from entering the position compensation structure, improve the protection level of the equipment, and make it safer for the cabinet equipment and maintenance personnel. In practical applications, the sealing cooperation between the second adjusting member and the third adjusting member can prevent foreign objects (such as dust, particles or insects) with a diameter greater than 2.5 mm from entering the equipment.

[0045] In a possible implementation, in order to achieve adjustable position of the first adjusting member 21 relative to the second adjusting member 22 along the first direction, at least one captive screw 211 extending along the first direction relative to the second adjusting member 22 may be provided on the first adjusting member 21 on a side away from the second adjusting member 22. Fig.11 As shown, the first adjusting member 21 is provided with two captive screws 211; the second adjusting member 22 is provided with fixing plates 222 corresponding to the captive screws 211 one by one. Figure 7 As shown, the captive screw 211 is connected to its corresponding fixing piece 222, so that the first adjusting member 21 can be adjusted relative to the second adjusting member 22 along the first direction. Fig.12 As shown, the second adjusting member 22 is connected to the first adjusting member 21 inside the first adjusting member 21 . When the captive screw 211 is loosened, the first adjusting member 21 is in a free state along the first direction, and the position of the first adjusting member 21 relative to the second adjusting member 22 is adjustable.

[0046] Specifically, the first adjusting member 21 is a cylindrical structure, the opening of the first adjusting member 21 faces the main box body 1, and the first adjusting member 21 has an initial state and a moving state relative to the main box body 1; when the first adjusting member 21 is in the initial state, the second adjusting member 22 and the third adjusting member 23 are located inside the first adjusting member 21, and the edge of the opening of the first adjusting member 21 abuts against the edge of the main box body 1, such as Fig.13 When the first adjusting member 21 is in the moving state, the second adjusting member 22 is located inside the first adjusting member 21, as shown Fig.14 As shown. During the process of adjusting the position of the first adjusting member 21, the second adjusting member 22 is always located inside the first adjusting member 21, and the second adjusting member 22 can be sealed with the first adjusting member 21, which can prevent foreign objects from entering the position compensation structure, improve the protection level of the equipment, and make it safer for the cabinet equipment and maintenance personnel. In practical applications, the sealing cooperation between the first adjusting member 21 and the second adjusting member 22 can prevent foreign objects with a diameter greater than 2.5 mm (for example, dust, particles or insects, etc.) from entering the equipment.

[0047] In the above-mentioned adjustment assembly 2, the third adjustment member 23 is slidably connected to the main housing 1 along the first direction, and the third adjustment member 23 can move relative to the main housing 1 along the first direction; the second adjustment member 22 is slidably connected to the third adjustment member 23 along the second direction, and the second adjustment member 22 and the third adjustment member 23 can simultaneously move relative to the main housing 1 along the third direction, and due to the blocking effect of the side baffle 11, the third adjustment member 23 cannot move along the second direction, and the second adjustment member 22 can move relative to the third adjustment member 23 along the second direction; the first adjustment member 21 is connected to the second adjustment member 22 by a captive screw 211 extending along the first direction, and the first adjustment member 21 can move along the second direction and the third direction following the second adjustment member 22, and the first adjustment member 21 can move relative to the second adjustment member 22 along the first direction. Therefore, the first adjustment member 21 in the above-mentioned adjustment assembly 2 can finally achieve position adjustment relative to the main housing 1 along the first direction, the second direction and the third direction.

[0048] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the invention, specifically, the main housing 1 has a first through hole 14 on one side adjacent to the adjustment assembly 2. Fig.15 As shown, the area opposite to the first through hole 14 of the third adjusting member 23 has a second through hole 233, and the area opposite to the first through hole 14 of the second adjusting member 22 has a third through hole 223, so that the flexible connecting member 15 connected to the docking interface inside the position compensation mechanism can pass through the adjustment component 2 from the inside of the main box body 1 and be electrically connected to the docking interface.

[0049] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
