Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication equipment, and in particular to a switch cabinet. Background Art

[0002] A one-piece switch cabinet with the application (patent) number CN201521087860.X includes a cabinet body anchored to a corner by anchor bolts. A climbing structure is provided on the cabinet body. For this one-piece switch cabinet with such a structure, the convenience of maintenance is effectively improved. However, for this fiber optic switch cabinet, manual cooperation is required throughout the process. First, manual climbing is needed for operation, so the operation is inconvenient and there are certain safety hazards. Second, when the switch is damaged, manual workers need to go to the site for replacement, and the replacement cannot be carried out in time, thus causing unnecessary impacts. Third, the degree of automation is low and it cannot meet the needs of today's society.

[0003] A space-adjustable telescopic switch chassis with the application (patent) number CN202022356453.1 includes a limiting outer box. A vertical limiting plate is fixed inside the limiting outer box. An elevating inner box is vertically slidably installed between the vertical limiting plate and the limiting outer box. A telescopic mechanism is drivingly connected to a lateral adjustment mechanism. A plurality of mounting plates slidably connected to the elevating inner box are equidistantly installed on the telescopic mechanism. An air-cooling heat dissipation mechanism is provided inside the elevating inner box. By providing the lateral adjustment mechanism in the present invention, the telescopic frame is driven, so that a plurality of hinge shafts provided on the telescopic frame can drive the fixed mounting plates to vertically lift and adjust. At this time, the elevating inner box can expand vertically relative to the outer box, achieving a flexible adjustment effect on the internal space of the device. Only the installation space of the switch can be adjusted according to actual installation needs. When maintaining and repairing a switch beyond the manual operation height, climbing tools need to be borrowed, so the operation is inconvenient and it cannot meet the automation requirements of today's society.

[0018] The network cable connector clamping assembly 31 includes a frame body 310, a seat body 311, a plurality of positioning grooves 312 and a clamping body 313. A seat body 311 is provided inside the frame body 310. The upper end of the seat body 311 is provided with positioning grooves 312 arranged at intervals in sequence. The positioning grooves 312 are matched with the bosses 9 of the network cable connector 13. The clamping body 313 presses on the network cable connector 13.

[0019] The pressing mechanism 32 includes a rotary drive mechanism 321, a rotating shaft 322, a plurality of support arms 323 and a plurality of pressing heads 324. The rotary drive mechanism 321 drives the rotating shaft 322 to rotate. The rotating shaft 322 is provided with support arms 323 arranged in a row. The free ends of the support arms 323 are provided with pressing heads 324. The pressing heads 324 correspond to the elastic bodies 10 of the corresponding network cable connectors.

[0025] The rotation drive mechanism 321 adopts a rotary electromagnet or a servo motor.

[0026] Working process of the present invention: During the working process of a switch cabinet of the present invention, when a switch at a high position needs to be taken down for maintenance, the corresponding rotation drive mechanism 321 is started to drive the rotating shaft 322 to rotate. The rotating shaft 322 drives the pressing head 324 to rotate through the support arm 323. The pressing head 324 presses down the elastic clamping body 10, so that the elastic clamping body 10 releases the clamping with the corresponding interface of the switch. Then, through the cooperation of the lifting drive mechanism 5, the front and rear drive mechanism 6 and the left and right drive mechanism 7, the mechanical clamping jaws 8 are driven to move to the position of the switch, and the switch is clamped by the mechanical clamping jaws 8. Then, through the cooperation of the lifting drive mechanism 5, the front and rear drive mechanism 6 and the left and right drive mechanism 7, the mechanical clamping jaws 8 are driven to take down the switch and transport the switch on it to a certain height, which is convenient for manual taking. Thus, the height of the cabinet can exceed the manual taking range, improving the space utilization rate.

[0027] When a switch is damaged, the corresponding rotary drive mechanism 321 is activated to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 322. The rotating shaft 322 drives the pressing head 324 to rotate through the support arm 323. The pressing head 324 presses down the elastic clamping body 10, so that the elastic clamping body 10 releases the clamping connection with the corresponding interface of the switch. Then, through the cooperation of the lifting drive mechanism 5, the front-back drive mechanism 6 and the left-right drive mechanism 7, the mechanical clamping jaw 8 is driven to move to the position of the switch, and the switch is clamped by the mechanical clamping jaw 8. Then, through the cooperation of the lifting drive mechanism 5, the front-back drive mechanism 6 and the left-right drive mechanism 7, the mechanical clamping jaw 8 is driven to remove the switch, and the switch on it is placed on the base II 26 on the empty board 23. Then, the spare switch placed on the base II 26 on the spare board 21 is taken and transported to the original position of the damaged switch. Then, the spare switch is placed on the base I 25 and the spare switch is pushed to move closer to the network cable connector fixing mechanism 3, so that the network cable connector and the power connector are inserted into the corresponding interfaces. Then, the corresponding rotary drive mechanism 321 is activated to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 322. The rotating shaft 322 drives the pressing head 324 to rotate back through the support arm 323. The pressing head 324 releases the pressing on the elastic clamping body 10, and the elastic clamping body 10 returns to its position to achieve clamping connection. Then, the mechanical clamping jaw 8 is loosened, and through the cooperation of the lifting drive mechanism 5, the front-back drive mechanism 6 and the left-right drive mechanism 7, the mechanical clamping jaw 8 is driven to return to its position.

[0028] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention, not limitations thereof. Any solution obtained by simply transforming the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
