[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 A digital distribution frame shown in the figure includes a board body 100, a connector 300, a terminal post 400 and a marking member 500. The board body 100 is provided with a plurality of wiring units 200. The plurality of wiring units 200 are arranged at equal intervals. The interval between two adjacent wiring units 200 is L1. Each wiring unit 200 includes four sockets 21, and the four sockets 21 are arranged at the four vertices of a square with a side length of L2, L1>L2; it should be noted that in actual use, four terminals 400 are grouped together to form the above-mentioned wiring unit 200, and L1=L2 in the traditional digital distribution frame.

[0030] The above-mentioned connector 300 is plugged into the socket 21. The connector 300 is provided with two connectors for plugging into the socket 21. The connector 300 can be plugged into two adjacent sockets 21 horizontally or vertically for different functions; the above-mentioned terminal 400 is arranged on the side of the board 100 away from the socket 21 and is connected with the socket 21 one by one. The terminal 400 is electrically connected to the socket 21 and is arranged opposite to each other; normally, the terminal 400 and the socket 21 can be connected as a whole. After the terminal 400 and the socket 21 are connected, they pass through the board 100 and are respectively located on the back and front of the board 100. The socket 21 is used to plug the connector 300, and the terminal 400 is used to connect the wires. It can be understood that, relative to the traditional digital distribution frame, the digital distribution frame provided by the present application has L1>L2, which correspondingly increases the distance between the terminal posts 400 corresponding to different wiring units 200, thereby allowing the staff to obtain a larger operating space when performing wiring operations on the terminal posts 400 corresponding to different wiring units 200, thereby facilitating the staff to operate; in addition to the above effects, due to the different distances between L1 and L2, it is also convenient for the staff to distinguish each wiring unit 200.

[0031] The marking member 500 is movably connected to the plate body 100 to move to different wiring units 200. In actual use, since each wiring unit 200 is evenly arranged, correspondingly, the terminal posts 400 on the opposite side of the socket 21 are densely distributed. When the staff connects the terminal posts 400, if they only use the observation method to match the wiring unit 200 and the terminal posts 400, deviations are likely to occur, resulting in misconnection and wrong connection problems. When the digital distribution frame provided by the present application is connected, the marking member 500 is first moved to the vicinity of the wiring unit 200 corresponding to the terminal post 400 that needs to be connected. Then, when the staff performs the connection operation on the back of the plate body 100, the position of the terminal post 400 that needs to be connected can be identified by identifying the position of the marking member 500, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of misconnection and wrong connection.

[0032] The following will introduce the technical details of each component one by one.

[0033] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the above-mentioned multiple wiring units 200 are arranged linearly, 28.6mm≤L1≤35mm. In actual use, the size of the board body 100 needs to be consistent with the installation size of the distribution cabinet, so the size of the board body 100 is relatively fixed in actual use; L1 is within the above range, and the space of the board body 100 can be well utilized to increase the operating space of the staff when performing wiring operations.

[0034] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the edge of the plate body 100 is provided with a sliding portion 11, and the marking member 500 is slidably provided on the sliding portion 11. The sliding portion 11 is provided along the arrangement direction of the plurality of wiring units 200, and the marking member 500 can be selectively provided at any position of the sliding portion 11. The sliding portion 11 is provided at the edge of the length direction of the plate body 100, and the sliding portion 11 can be a buckle. The structures of the sliding portion 11 and the marking member 500 are mutually engaged to fix the marking member 500 on the sliding portion 11 but can slide along the sliding portion 11. When it is necessary to mark the wiring unit 200, the marking member 500 can be slid to the vicinity of the corresponding wiring unit 200.

[0035] It is understandable that there may be a plurality of marking members 500 so that a plurality of wiring units 200 can be marked at the same time.

[0036] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 6As shown, the marking member 500 includes a first identification part 51, a second identification part 52 and a connecting part 53, the connecting part 53 connects the first identification part 51 and the second identification part 52 respectively, the first identification part 51 and the second identification part 52 are respectively located on the front and back of the board body 100, the first identification part 51 is used for the staff to identify on the front of the board body 100, the second identification part 52 is used for the staff to identify on the back of the board body 100, the first identification part 51 and the second identification part 52 are arranged opposite to each other and connected through the connecting part 53. The staff only needs to identify the position of one of the first identification part 51 and the second identification part 52 to know the position of the other, and the above correspondence can facilitate the staff to accurately connect.

[0037] In some embodiments, the sliding portion 11 and the marking member 500 are made of magnetic materials, and the marking member 500 can be magnetically attracted to the sliding portion 11. Specifically, in combination with actual conditions, the plate body 100 is generally made of iron-containing materials, and the marking member 500 is a magnet, which can be magnetically attracted to the sliding portion 11 of the plate body 100. In the above manner, the movement of the marking member 500 can be restricted to a certain extent by magnetic force, so that after the marking member 500 marks the wiring unit 200, the position of the marking member 500 will not be easily offset due to external factors such as vibration, impact, airflow, etc., thereby improving the stability of the marking member 500 when marking the wiring unit 200.

[0038] Of course, from the perspective of principle, in other embodiments, the sliding part 11 may also be a magnet, and the marking member 500 may be made of a material containing iron, nickel, etc. that can be attracted by a magnetic field. Furthermore, the sliding part 11 and the marking member 500 may both be magnetic and can be attracted to each other.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first identification portion 51 and the second identification portion 52 are covered with fluorescent materials, which can emit bright light or highly reflective light in a dark environment to facilitate observation and identification by staff.

[0040] In some embodiments, the marking member 500 further includes a light-emitting body, an LED lamp bead, a switch and a battery are arranged inside the light-emitting body, the LED lamp bead, the switch and the battery are connected in series with each other, and the light-emitting body is arranged in the first identification part 51 and the second identification part 52 to selectively emit light. After marking the wiring unit 200, the staff can turn on the switch to make the LED lamp bead emit light, which is convenient for the staff to observe and identify, and helps to improve the accuracy of the staff's wiring operation.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 6As shown, the digital patch panel provided by the present application further includes a label rack 600, which is connected to the board body 100 and extends along the arrangement direction of the plurality of wiring units 200. In actual use, different wiring units 200 are connected to different devices, and the staff needs to mark each wiring unit 200 with a label, and the label rack 600 can facilitate the staff to place and fix the label.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the label holder 600 includes a card slot 61 and a light-emitting board 62. The edge of the card slot 61 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, and the light-emitting board 62 is provided on the bottom surface of the card slot 61. In actual use, the light-emitting board 62 is provided with a plurality of LED lamp beads and is connected to a power source. When the ambient light is dim, the light-emitting board 62 can emit light to illuminate the label provided on the label holder 600, thereby facilitating identification by the staff; in addition to the above effects, the light-emitting board 62 can also provide lighting for the staff during the wiring operation, which helps the staff to quickly and accurately perform wiring.

[0043] In some other embodiments, the digital patch panel provided in the present application further includes an identification body; see Figures 3 to 6 As shown, one wiring unit 200 corresponds to four terminals 400, and the four terminals 400 corresponding to the same wiring unit 200 form a combination, the combination corresponds to the wiring unit 200 one by one, and the identification body is set close to the wiring unit 200 or the combination; each wiring unit 200 or combination is correspondingly provided with an identification body, and the identification bodies corresponding to different wiring units 200 or different combinations have different colors or numbers, and the identification bodies corresponding to the corresponding wiring units 200 and combinations have the same color or number. Through the above design, the staff can identify the corresponding wiring unit 200 and terminal 400 by the color or number on the identification body, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the wiring operation.

[0044] The present application also provides a digital distribution frame wiring method, the digital distribution frame wiring method adopts the above-mentioned digital distribution frame, and the digital distribution frame wiring method comprises:

[0045] When wiring, the marking member 500 is moved on the front side of the board body 100 to the vicinity of the wiring unit 200 that needs to be wired, so as to mark the wiring unit 200, and the socket 21 of the wiring unit 200 is arranged opposite to and corresponds to the terminal post 400 on the back side of the board body 100; when wiring the terminal post 400 on the back side of the board body 100, the position of the terminal post 400 that needs to be wired can be determined by identifying the position of the marking member 500, thereby avoiding the problem of misconnection.
