Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a computer network cabinet, and particularly to a computer network wall cabinet with an adjustable angle switch, belonging to the technical field of computer networks. Background Art

[0002] Network cabinets are important facilities for computer communication and networking. Network cabinets can be classified into server cabinets, switch cabinets, fiber optic distribution cabinets, and integrated communication cabinets according to their functions. They can be classified into wall cabinets and floor-standing cabinets according to their installation heights, and can be classified into central cabinets, aggregation point cabinets, and access point cabinets according to their topological structures. For network wall cabinets, they can be further divided into horizontal chassis and vertical chassis. The horizontal chassis has a lower height and a thicker thickness, and the switches inside the cabinet are horizontal, which is suitable for installation in indoor areas with a larger area or a lower floor height. The vertical chassis has a higher height and a thinner thickness, and the switches inside the cabinet are vertical, which is suitable for installation in areas with a smaller area or a higher floor height, and can be used both indoors and outdoors.

[0003] The switches in existing wall cabinets are generally fixed and their angles cannot be adjusted. The front panels of the switches in the horizontal chassis face outside the cabinet, making it easy for construction workers to see the interfaces, marked texts, and the working status of the indicator lights on the front panels. The front panels of the switches in the vertical chassis face downwards or towards both sides. Blocked by the cabinet body, it is difficult for construction workers to see the interfaces, marked texts, and the working status of the indicator lights on the front panels, which brings certain difficulties to network construction and switch wiring. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a computer network wall cabinet with an adjustable angle switch that enables construction workers to easily see the interfaces, marked texts, and the working status of the indicator lights on the front panel.

[0005] The technical problems to be solved by the present invention are realized through the following technical solutions: The device includes a retaining pin 3, side plates 4, a toothed plate 5, side plate shaft seats 6, side plate rotating shafts 7, finger lifters 8, a switch 11, a horizontal hanging bracket 12, a hook 13, a notch 15, a finger ring 16, a toothed plate shaft seat 17, a toothed plate rotating shaft 18, a cable management surface 19, an optical fiber 20, a cable management rack 22, a fork 24, a twisted pair 27, an inner wall 29, and a rubber band 30.

[0006] The retaining pin 3, side plates 4, toothed plate 5, side plate shaft seats 6, side plate rotating shafts 7, finger lifters 8, notch 15, finger ring 16, toothed plate shaft seat 17, and toothed plate rotating shaft 18 constitute an angle adjustment mechanism, and the horizontal hanging bracket 12, hook 13, cable management surface 19, cable management rack 22, fork 24, and rubber band 30 constitute a cable management mechanism.

[0007] The horizontal hanger 12 is provided with a number of hooks 13, and each hook 13 is hung with a rubber band loop 30. Side plates 4 are hung on the side plate shaft seats 6 on both sides above the inner wall 29 of the chassis. The top end of the side plate 4 is movably connected to the side plate shaft seat 6 through a side plate rotating shaft 7. A retaining pin 3 is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the side plate 4. One end of the retaining pin 3 is connected to the side of the side plate 4. The bottom end of the side plate 4 is provided with an oval-shaped ring finger 16. Tooth plates 5 are inserted into the tooth plate shaft seats 17 on both sides below the inner wall 29 of the chassis. The bottom end of the tooth plate 5 is movably connected to the shaft seat 17 through a tooth plate rotating shaft 18. The tooth plate 5 is located outside the side plate 4 and can rotate around the shaft seat 17. The tooth plate 5 is provided with several hook-shaped notches 15. In the normal state, the tooth plate 5 is in an inclined state, and the angle with the vertical line is about 8°.

[0008] During construction, the switch 11 changes from a vertical state to an oblique state. At this time, the inclined tooth plate 5 rotates by using the component force of gravity, so that the tooth surface of the tooth plate 5 leans against the retaining pin 3 of the side plate. The retaining pin 3 is stuck in a notch 15. The switch 11 maintains an inclined state by using the support of the tooth plate 5 and the notch 15. Different notches 15 at different positions enable the switch 11 to have different inclination angles. The maximum inclination angle of the switch 11 is about 60°. The optical fiber 20 and the twisted pair 27 pass through the rubber band loops 30 at the corresponding positions and then wind downward. The materials of the retaining pin 3, the side plate rotating shaft 7, the tooth plate rotating shaft 18, the side plate 4 and the tooth plate 5 are hard steel. The thickness of the side plate 4 and the tooth plate 5 is 0.8 - 1.0 mm. The diameter of the side plate rotating shaft 7 and the tooth plate rotating shaft 18 is 4 mm. The materials of the side plate shaft seat 6 and the tooth plate shaft seat 17 are aluminum alloy.

[0009] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: During network engineering construction, by using the angle adjustment mechanism in the cabinet, the angle of the switch required by the construction personnel can be obtained, so as to easily see the interfaces, marking texts and indicator light working states on the panel, which brings some convenience to network construction and switch wiring, and to a certain extent shortens the time required for construction personnel to find the switch panel interface.
