Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of network accessories technology, specifically to a multi-port unshielded network patch panel. Background Technology
[0002] In network cabling systems, multi-port unshielded network patch panels are core devices for cable connections and signal transmission, and are widely used in various cabinet cabling scenarios. However, current multi-port unshielded network patch panels have many shortcomings, making it difficult to meet the demands for efficient and stable operation.
[0003] The existing patch panels are prone to loosening when connecting network plugs to sockets, and lack corresponding automatic reinforcement mechanisms. Loose network plugs lead to increased contact resistance, resulting in signal attenuation and network failures. Regular manual inspection and maintenance are required, increasing labor costs and affecting network transmission continuity. Furthermore, the existing patch panels have poor crosstalk immunity, lacking effective shielding and isolation structures between adjacent network modules, resulting in high electromagnetic crosstalk values. This fails to meet CAT.6A level transmission requirements and makes it difficult to support stable long-distance transmission of 10Gbps high-speed signals.
[0004] Regarding cable fixing, existing brackets suffer from insufficient material strength and are prone to deformation. Their cable clamping structures are poorly designed, failing to accurately accommodate cables of different gauges. Furthermore, the lack of a scientific layered design results in insufficient cable bending radius, further exacerbating signal attenuation and impacting transmission stability. In addition, existing patch panel modules are cumbersome to assemble, inefficient, and difficult to identify ports, making it hard to quickly locate faulty ports during maintenance. IDC termination requires wire stripping, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to substandard terminations. Moreover, the material matching between the main body and the bracket is inappropriate, leading to poor structural stability and making them unsuitable for long-term use in high-density cabling scenarios. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a multi-port unshielded network patch panel that effectively increases the contact pressure between the network plug and the socket, avoiding signal attenuation caused by increased contact resistance.

[0014] Furthermore, the temperature sensing element also includes:
[0015] There are four threaded seats, all of which are fixed on both sides of the temperature sensing box; a third threaded hole is opened on the threaded seat; and a sealing plate is located directly above the temperature sensing box.
[0016] Furthermore, the temperature sensing element also includes:
[0017] There are four side ear plates, all of which are fixed on both sides of the sealing plate; a fourth threaded hole is opened on the side ear plate; a second bolt is screwed into the third and fourth threaded holes.
[0018] Furthermore, a second travel groove is provided below the sealing plate, and there are three second travel grooves, which correspond to the first travel groove.
[0019] Furthermore, the trigger also includes:

[0025] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0026] There are two support plates, which are respectively fixed on the short bracket and the long bracket; there are four elastic claws on the same support plate, and all four elastic claws are snapped onto the support plate; the tail clamp is rotatably mounted on one end of the elastic claw, and the other end is snapped onto the other end of the elastic claw.
[0027] The above-described solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0028] This invention utilizes the coordinated operation of various sub-components of the temperature-sensing component to automatically reinforce loose network plugs, significantly improving the stability of patch panel network connections. The temperature-sensing box accurately detects the heat generated when the network plug becomes loose. This heat triggers the internal shape memory alloy wire to contract, pulling the piston rod to slide within the first and second stroke grooves. This displacement causes the stroke rod and docking plate to shift. Through the engagement of the inclined surfaces of the first and second inclined blocks, the linkage plate and abutment extend, pressing the loose network plug firmly. The tight cooperation and smooth linkage of each sub-component allow for reinforcement without manual intervention, effectively increasing the contact pressure between the network plug and the socket, preventing signal attenuation caused by increased contact resistance, reducing network failures, lowering maintenance costs, and improving the reliability and practicality of the patch panel.
[0029] This invention provides a multi-port unshielded network patch panel that significantly improves network transmission performance and ease of use. The stainless steel isolation plate on the back of the network module, fixed to the IDC base, forms an independent shielding unit, reducing electromagnetic crosstalk between adjacent modules by ≥45dB. The crosstalk immunity meets CAT.6A standards and complies with ISO / IEC standards. The CAT.6A transmission requirement of the 11801 standard supports stable 10Gbps transmission over a distance of 100 meters. The short and long SPCC brackets are structurally strong and resistant to deformation. Combined with elastic claws and tail plates compatible with 22-26 gauge wires, they achieve precise cable clamping. The layered design ensures a bending radius of ≥4 times the wire diameter, effectively reducing signal attenuation and making cable adaptation and fixation more reliable. The modules and front frame use a plug-in fixing method, with a single assembly time of ≤10 seconds. Transparent identification strips and digital identification cards facilitate port identification and allow for quick location during maintenance. Furthermore, the IDC termination technology eliminates the need for wire stripping, reducing single-cable termination time to within 3 seconds, significantly reducing termination failure rates and greatly improving assembly and maintenance efficiency. The combination of the aluminum alloy front frame and SPCC brackets balances lightweight design with structural strength, adapting to the long-term use requirements of high-density cabling scenarios and further enhancing the overall structural stability and service life of the patch panel.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-port unshielded network patch panel, including: a front frame 1 and mounting bases 2 disposed on both sides of the front frame 1, and further including:

[0050] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the temperature sensing element 6 includes: a temperature sensing groove 601, six of which are located on the same terminal plate 4, and the six temperature sensing grooves 601 are located directly above the socket 5; a temperature sensing box 602, fixed in the temperature sensing groove 601; a first stroke groove 603, three of which are located on the same temperature sensing box 602, and the three first stroke grooves 603 are evenly spaced above the temperature sensing box 602; a piston rod 604, slidably disposed in the first stroke groove 603; a stroke rod 605, one end of which is fixed to the piston rod 604, and the other end of which extends out of the temperature sensing box 602; a first mounting post 606, fixed in the first stroke groove 603; a second mounting post 607, fixed to the piston rod 604; and a shape memory alloy wire. 608, one end fixed to the first mounting post 606, the other end fixed to the second mounting post 607; return spring 609, sleeved on shape memory alloy wire 608, one end fixed in the first stroke groove 603, the other end fixed to the piston post 604; movable hole 6010, two are provided on the same temperature sensing groove 601, the two movable holes 6010 are provided on both sides of the temperature sensing groove 601; abutment post 6011, two are provided, the two abutment posts 6011 are slidably disposed in the movable hole 6010 respectively; linkage plate 6012, fixed above the abutment post 6011; tension spring 6013, sleeved on the abutment post 6011, one end fixed below the linkage plate 6012, the other end fixed to the terminal plate 4.
[0051] The temperature sensing element 6 further includes: a docking plate 6014, fixed on the end of the stroke rod 605 away from the piston column 604; a first support plate 6015, fixed on the docking plate 6014; a first inclined block 6016, fixed on the end of the first support plate 6015 away from the docking plate 6014; a second support plate 6017, fixed below the linkage plate 6012; and a second inclined block 6018, fixed below the second support plate 6017.
[0052] The temperature sensing element 6 further includes: a limiting groove 6019, which is formed above the terminal plate 4; a limiting plate 6020, which is fixed in the limiting groove 6019; a first threaded hole 6021, which is formed below the limiting plate 6020; a second threaded hole 6022, which is formed in the limiting groove 6019; and a first bolt 6023, which is threaded into the first threaded hole 6021 and the second threaded hole 6022.
[0053] The temperature sensing element 6 further includes: a threaded seat 6024, of which four are provided, and all four threaded seats 6024 are fixed on both sides of the temperature sensing box 602; a third threaded hole 6025, which is opened on the threaded seat 6024; and a sealing plate 6026, which is located directly above the temperature sensing box 602.
[0054] The temperature sensing element 6 further includes: four side ear plates 6027, all of which are fixed on both sides of the sealing plate 6026; a fourth threaded hole 6028, which is opened on the side ear plate 6027; and a second bolt 6029, which is threaded into the third threaded hole 6025 and the fourth threaded hole 6028.
[0055] The sealing plate 6026 has a second stroke groove 6030 below it. There are three second stroke grooves 6030, which correspond to the first stroke groove 603.
[0056] Specifically, the components of the temperature sensing element 6 work together. The temperature sensing box 602 senses the heat at the socket port 5. Through the structural linkage of the shape memory alloy wire 608 and the piston column 604, it drives the abutment column 6011 to loosen and reinforce the network plug.
[0057] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the trigger 7 further includes: a trigger support 701, fixed on the terminal plate 4; a trigger cylinder 702, fixed on the trigger support 701; and an induction coil 703, fixed inside the trigger cylinder 702.
[0058] Specifically, the trigger support 701 provides mounting support for the trigger cylinder 702, and the induction coil 703 is used to sense the magnetic field change of the network plug contact state and provide feedback of a loose signal.
[0059] When the network plug becomes loose in socket 5, the contact pressure between the gold pins of the network plug and the gold pins of socket 5 will decrease. The decrease in contact pressure will directly lead to an increase in contact resistance. According to the current heating effect, the increase in resistance will cause signal attenuation, and at the same time, the heat will continue to increase. This patch panel uses the increased heat generated when the network plug becomes loose in socket 5 as a trigger medium to achieve automatic reinforcement of the connection.
[0060] Heat is transferred to the bottom of the temperature sensing box 602 via radiation. The temperature sensing box 602 contains liquid ammonia. After absorbing heat, the liquid ammonia undergoes a phase change and transforms into gaseous ammonia. The gaseous ammonia moves upward and transfers heat to the first stroke groove 603 and the second stroke groove 6030. The heat is further radiated to the shape memory alloy wire 608. The shape memory alloy wire 608 will shrink in length due to temperature changes. The shrinking shape memory alloy wire 608 pulls the piston rod 604 to slide smoothly in the first stroke groove 603 and the second stroke groove 6030. The displacement of the piston rod 604 will compress the return spring 609. At the same time, the displacement of the piston rod 604 will drive the stroke rod 605 to retract into the first stroke groove 603 and the second stroke groove 6030. The retraction of the stroke rod 605 will drive the docking plate 6014 to move synchronously. The displacement of the docking plate 6014 will drive the first support plate 6015 to move. The movement of the first support plate 6015 will drive the first inclined block 6016 to move accordingly.
[0061] As the first inclined block 6016 moves, its inclined surface gradually contacts the inclined surface of the second inclined block 6018. Continuing to push the first inclined block 6016 will create space for the second inclined block 6018 to move downward. At this time, the tension spring 6013 releases its rebound force, pulling the linkage plate 6012 downward. The downward movement of the linkage plate 6012 drives the second support plate 6017 downward. The downward movement of the second support plate 6017 drives the second inclined block 6018 to move downward synchronously. At the same time, the linkage plate 6012 drives the abutment 6011 to move downward along the movable hole 6010. The abutment 6011 first slides downward along the movable hole 6010 for a certain distance and then extends out of the movable hole 6010. The extended abutment 6011 tightly presses against the network plug, increasing the contact pressure between the gold pins of the network plug and the gold pins of the socket 5, thereby stabilizing the connection signal and preventing fluctuations in the electrical signal. During assembly, the limiting plate 6020 is fixed in the limiting groove 6019 above the terminal plate 4 by the first bolt 6023; then the side ear plate 6027 of the sealing plate 6026 is fixed on the threaded seat 6024 on the temperature sensing box 602 by the second bolt 6029, so that the first stroke groove 603 and the second stroke groove 6030 close to form a stroke hole that allows the piston column 604 to slide smoothly, ensuring the stability of the mechanical structure operation.
[0062] When the network plug becomes loose in socket 5, if the network plug is replaced or the cabinet is shut down, the temperature at the contact point between the network plug and socket 5 will gradually decrease. When the temperature drops to the normal operating temperature range of the network plug and socket 5, the return spring 609 releases the compressed elastic force, pushing the piston rod 604 and the stroke rod 605 out of the first stroke groove 603 and the second stroke groove 6030. The stroke rod 605 drives the docking plate 6014, the first support plate 6015 and the first inclined block 6016 to move in the opposite direction. The inclined surface of the first inclined block 6016 contacts the inclined surface of the second inclined block 6018 and pushes the second inclined block 6018 to move upward. The second inclined block 6018 drives the second support plate 6017 and the linkage plate 6012 to move upward, stretching the tension spring 6013. The linkage plate 6012 drives the abutment 6011 to re-enter the movable hole 6010. The abutment 6011 retracts a distance into the movable hole 6010, returning to the initial state, waiting for the next trigger.
[0063] Once the network plug and the gold pins of socket 5 return to normal contact, the temperature between them will return to the normal operating range, and the entire temperature sensor 6 will remain in its initial state, ensuring a stable network connection. When the network plug becomes loose in socket 5, the reduced contact pressure between the gold pins of the network plug and the gold pins of socket 5 will lead to an increase in contact resistance, which in turn will gradually reduce the current between them. The magnetic field strength generated by the current will also decrease. During this process of gradually reducing the magnetic field strength, it will affect the induction coil 703 of the trigger 7. The induction coil 703 will generate a corresponding electrical signal. The operator can accurately judge the contact status of the network plug in socket 5 through the electrical signal, and promptly detect and deal with the loosening problem.
[0064] The front frame 1 is made of aluminum alloy in one piece and is compatible with a 19-inch standard rack. Its surface has 8 independent rectangular module mounting positions. The back of the front frame 1 has 2 positioning slots for each mounting position. The surface is anodized to improve corrosion resistance. As the main support structure of the entire patch panel, it provides the mounting base for other components.
[0065] Mounting base 2 is made of cold-rolled steel and is fixed to the left and right sides of the front frame 1 by screws. It serves to fix the front frame 1 and connect the cabinet, ensuring the overall stability of the patch panel installation. There are eight terminal slots 3, which are arranged in two rows at equal intervals on the front frame 1. They serve as the mounting carrier for the terminal boards 4, enabling the orderly arrangement of the terminal boards 4. There are eight terminal boards 4, which are snapped into the terminal slots 3. Each set of terminal boards 4 corresponds to a set of module components, providing a mounting platform for the socket ports 5, temperature sensors 6, and triggers 7. There are six socket ports 5 on the same terminal board 4, which are evenly distributed on the terminal board 4. They adopt RJ45 network module interfaces that conform to the CAT.6A standard for inserting network plugs to realize network signal transmission.

Composed of 6019, limit plate 6020, first bolt 6023, threaded seat 6024, sealing plate 6026, side ear plate 6027, second bolt 6029 and second stroke groove 6030, its function is to sense the heat generated when the network plug is loose and trigger the mechanical structure to realize the automatic reinforcement of the network plug; the trigger element 7 is fixed on the terminal plate 4 and is composed of trigger support 701, trigger cylinder 702 and induction coil 703. It generates an electrical signal by sensing the change in magnetic field strength to provide feedback on the contact status of the network plug.
[0067] A transparent label strip 8 is rotatably mounted above the terminal block 4 for mounting digital label cards 9. The digital label cards 9 are inserted into the transparent label strip 8, facilitating staff identification of port numbers and quick location of faulty ports. Two short brackets 10 are provided, each snapped onto the mounting base 2. Two long brackets 11 are provided, each snapped onto the mounting base 2 and located below the short brackets 10. The short brackets 10 and long brackets 11 are made of cold-rolled steel and stamped to serve as carriers for cable fixing. Two support plates 16 are provided, each fixed onto the short brackets 10 and long brackets 11 respectively, for mounting elastic claws 17. Four elastic claws 17 are provided on the same support plate 16, each snapped onto the support plate 16. One end of a tail clamp 18 is rotatably mounted on one end of an elastic claw 17, and the other end is snapped onto the other end of an elastic claw 17. The two work together to clamp and fix the cable.
[0068] The IDC base 12 is snapped onto the front frame 1, and the PCB board 13 is snapped onto the front frame 1 and located between the front frame 1 and the IDC base 12. Each module is fixed to the positioning slot on the back of the front frame 1 via its own FR-4 material PCB board 13, thus connecting the module to the main structure. The stainless steel isolation plate 14 is snapped onto the IDC base 12, and a 304 stainless steel isolation plate 14 is attached to the back of each network module, forming an independent signal isolation unit for the module. The IDC pins 15 are fixed inside the IDC base 12 and are made of phosphor bronze, allowing the cable conductor to contact the pins without stripping the wires, thus improving cable termination efficiency.
[0069] This multi-port unshielded network patch panel meets the CAT.6A level of crosstalk immunity. The stainless steel isolation plate 14 on the back of the module is fixed to the IDC base 12 to form an independent shielding unit, which can effectively isolate external electromagnetic interference and reduce the electromagnetic crosstalk value between adjacent modules by ≥45dB. It meets the CAT.6A level transmission requirements in the ISO / IEC 11801 standard and supports stable 10Gbps transmission over a distance of 100 meters, ensuring the integrity of high-speed network signal transmission. Cable adaptation and fixation are more reliable. The SPCC material short bracket 10, long bracket 11 and support plate 16 have high structural strength and are not easily deformed. With the special elastic claws 17 and tail clamps 18 that are compatible with 22-26 AWG wire gauge, the cable is accurately clamped with a clamping force of 5N, which not only prevents loosening but also avoids damage to the cable sheath. At the same time, the upper and lower layered design of the short bracket 10 and long bracket 11 This design ensures that the cable bending radius is ≥4 times the wire diameter, effectively reducing signal attenuation and guaranteeing cable transmission stability. Assembly and maintenance efficiency are significantly improved; the module and front frame 1 are fixed using a plug-in method, with a single assembly time of ≤10 seconds, requiring no specialized tools. A transparent label strip 8 paired with a pluggable digital label card 9 facilitates port number identification and allows for quick location of faulty ports during later maintenance. IDC termination technology eliminates the need for wire stripping, reducing single cable termination time to within 3 seconds, significantly lowering termination failure rates and reducing maintenance costs. The structure boasts enhanced stability; the combination of the aluminum alloy front frame 1 and SPCC brackets balances lightweight design with structural strength. The anodized surface of the front frame 1 not only improves corrosion resistance but also effectively dissipates heat, adapting to the long-term use requirements of high-density cabling scenarios. It can maintain stable operation in complex environments within server racks, extending the lifespan of the patch panel.
