The friction wheel 62 is located outside the second guide groove 105, on the second end face 102, and connected to the transmission belt 3. Through the positive or negative torque transmitted by the transmission belt 3, the friction wheel 62 drives the bearing frame to move to the left or right, thereby adjusting the left and right positions of the back plate.

[0081] The hub surface of friction wheel 62 is made of silicone rubber, with a built-in sliding bearing. The end of the spindle has a cross screwdriver slot, and the tail of the spindle has an installation thread.

The clamping wheel 9 has a built-in sliding bearing, a cross-head screwdriver groove at the end of the spindle, and an installation thread at the tail end of the spindle.

[0084] An exploded view of an adjustable backplate mechanism for a VPX enclosure according to the present invention is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the assembly process is as follows:

[0085] First, install the back plate adjustment assembly. Specifically, install five fixed pulleys 4 on the second end face 102 of the adjustment frame 1; wrap the transmission belt 3 around the fixed pulleys 4, with the fixed pulleys 4 at the four corners of the adjustment frame 1 placed inside the transmission belt 3, and the fixed pulleys 4 at the bottom of the adjustment frame 1 placed outside the transmission belt 3.

[0086] The clamping rollers 9 are respectively installed on the second end face 102 of the adjusting frame 1; the clamping rollers 9 are all placed on the outside of the transmission belt 3.

[0087] Fix the two drivers 6 into the second guide groove 105 with the third countersunk screws. The friction wheel 62 should be placed inside the transmission belt 3. The third countersunk screws should not be tightened at this time to ensure that they do not fall off, and that the top surface of the driver 6 is basically flush with the top surface of the adjustment frame 1.

[0088] The adjuster 5 is fixed in the first guide groove 104 by the second countersunk screw, and the adjusting wheel 53 needs to be placed outside the transmission belt 3; the second countersunk screw should not be tightened at this time, just enough to ensure that the second countersunk screw does not fall off and that the top surface of the adjuster 5 is basically flush with the top surface of the adjusting frame 1.

[0089] Install the two locking devices 2 onto the first end face 101 of the adjusting frame 1 using the first countersunk screw. During installation, first remove the locking block 23, locking block 24, and screw 22 from the locking device 2. After the lock seat 21 is installed, connect the locking block 23, locking block 24, and screw 22 to the lock seat 21, and then install them into the lock seat 21. At this time, the locking device 2 must be kept in the unlocked state. Install the nine positioning pins 106 into the bottom mounting of the adjusting frame 1 and tighten all the positioning pins 106. Then, fasten the guide groove 11 of the support frame 10 with the guide rail 103 of the back plate adjusting assembly to ensure that the relative positions of the adjusting frame 1 and the support frame 10 are centered.

[0090] Tighten the third countersunk screw of the driver 6 to ensure that the outer cylindrical surface of the friction wheel 62 is in close contact with the top drive surface of the support frame 10. Tighten the second countersunk screw of the adjuster 5 to ensure that the outer cylindrical surface of the adjusting wheel 53 is in close contact with the outer side of the transmission belt 3, and that the outer cylindrical surface of the friction wheel 62 is in close contact with the inner side of the transmission belt 3, ensuring that the transmission belt 3 is in a taut state.

[0091] Turn the adjusting pin 52 in the adjuster 5 clockwise and counterclockwise respectively. Check if the adjusting wheel 53, friction wheel 62, pressure wheel 9, and fixed pulley 4 rotate freely. If there is any jamming, the corresponding parts need to be replaced. Check if the adjusting wheel 53, transmission belt 3, and friction wheel 62 are transmitting power normally, and if the left and right displacement of the bearing frame 10 is smooth. If there is any abnormality, adjust the third countersunk screw of the driver 6 until it is normal. Check if the transmission belt 3 is slipping. If it is slipping, turn the second countersunk screw of the adjuster 5 until it is normal. Finally, install the back plate 12 onto the bearing frame 10 with screws.

[0092] This adjustable backplane mechanism can serve as a universal module for use in VPX chassis of the same specifications but different models and functions. It utilizes backplane adjustment component technology to achieve precise installation of VPX chassis plug-in modules.
