[0002] A network switch is a device that expands a network and provides more connection ports in a sub-network to connect more computers.

[0003] When an existing network switch is connected to a rack for installation, connection holes are usually reserved on both sides of the network switch, and then two L-shaped hanging ears are used to fit on both sides of the network switch, and the reserved connection holes are aligned with the holes on the hanging ears, and finally screws are driven in to fix the hanging ears. After the hanging ears are fixed, one side of the hanging ears needs to be fitted into the grooves on both sides of the rack, and finally screws are driven in to fix the lugs and the rack.

[0004] However, when the network switch body is installed, the mounting ears need to be fixed to both sides of the body with screws. When not in use, the screws and mounting ears need to be removed, making the mounting ears inconvenient to install and remove. At the same time, tools such as screwdrivers are needed to remove and install the screws, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a network switch installation component that is easy to fix. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0008] Based on the above features: when the machine body needs to be connected to the frame, the limiting assembly can be pulled open first, and then the driving gear can be rotated. When the driving gear rotates, the hanging ear will be pushed out from the inside of the fixed frame. At this time, the hanging ear will extend outward on both sides of the machine body. When the hanging ear is extended, the limiting assembly can be loosened. At this time, the limiting assembly will move back through the movable groove, so that one side of the limiting assembly can reach the limit of the driving gear to prevent the driving gear from rotating by itself. Finally, the hanging ears extending to both sides are fitted with both sides of the frame and then fixed with screws. When the machine body does not need to be connected to the frame, the limiting assembly can be pulled open again, and then the driving gear can be rotated, so that the rotating driving gear drives the hanging ear to retract into the inside of the fixed frame, and there is no need to disassemble and assemble the hanging ear back and forth.

[0009] Preferably, a T-shaped sliding block is installed at the upper end of the fixing frame, a positioning plate is installed on one side of the inner cavity of the fixing frame close to the movable groove, and a through hole is opened in the middle of the positioning plate.

[0015] Preferably, the limiting assembly includes a pull plate and a piston connecting rod installed on one side of the pull plate, a baffle is installed on the side of the piston connecting rod away from the pull plate, and a limiting plug plate is installed on one end of the baffle.

[0016] Based on the above features: when the pull plate is pulled outward, the pull plate will drive the baffle plate and the limit plug plate to move synchronously through the piston connecting rod. At this time, the limit plug plate will be separated from the tooth groove of the driving gear, so that the driving gear can be driven to rotate.

[0017] Preferably, a buffer spring is sleeved outside the piston connecting rod.

[0018] Based on the above features: when the pull plate is pulled out, the baffle plate will squeeze the buffer spring to deform; when the pull plate is released, the buffer spring can rebound the baffle plate and the limit plug plate, so that the limit plug plate can be reinserted into the tooth groove of the driving gear to prevent the driving gear from rotating on its own.

[0019] Preferably, the hanging ear is made of stainless steel.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] 1. It is convenient to quickly connect the machine body and the rack. When the machine body needs to be connected to the rack, the personnel can turn the knob at the outer end to make the knob drive the driving gear to rotate through the rotating shaft. When the driving gear rotates, the driving gear will push the hanging ear to move by engaging with the convex teeth. At this time, the moving hanging ear will be limited by the T-shaped slider and the T-shaped slide groove, so that the hanging ear keeps moving in parallel. When the hanging ear is extended, the extended side of the hanging ear will fit with the two sides of the rack, and the connecting hole in the middle of the hanging ear will be aligned with the holes on both sides of the rack, and then the screws can be inserted and fixed. There is no need to disassemble the lug, nor is there any need to fix the lug to the two sides of the machine body with screws.

[0023] 2. To prevent the active gear from rotating by itself, when the active gear pushes the lug to move through the convex teeth, the pull plate can be pulled out first, and the pull plate will drive the baffle plate and the limit plug plate to move synchronously through the piston connecting rod. At this time, the limit plug plate will be separated from the tooth groove of the active gear, and the baffle plate will also squeeze the buffer spring to deform. When the active gear does not need to rotate, the pull plate can be released, and the buffer spring can rebound the baffle plate and the limit plug plate, so that the limit plug plate can be reinserted into the tooth groove of the active gear for limiting.
