DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, in the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are proposed for the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the utility model. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the utility model can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from hindering the description of the utility model.

[0033] The utility model provides a reinforcement device for a switch, according to the attached manual Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5It can be seen that it includes: a support plate 11, a first connecting rod 24, a second connecting rod 25 and a driving assembly 30. A plurality of support plates 11 are arranged in parallel from top to bottom in the cabinet 10. The support plates 11 are used to place switches. Each support plate 11 is provided with a locking mechanism 20 for fixing the switch. The locking mechanism 20 includes two claws 21 symmetrically and slidably arranged on the support plates 11 on both sides of the switch. Two telescopic assemblies 40 for pressing the upper surface of the switch are respectively arranged at the top of the two claws 21. Two connecting blocks 22 arranged at the lower ends of the two claws 21 are respectively slidably connected to and penetrate the two guide grooves on the support plate 11. The first connecting rod 24 is provided to the cabinet 10. 24 is rotatably arranged below the support plate 11, the first ends of the two second connecting rods 25 are respectively connected to the two end shafts of the first connecting rod 24, and the second ends of the two second connecting rods 25 are respectively connected to the end shafts of the two connecting blocks 22, and the driving assembly 30 is arranged below the support plate 11 and connected to one of the connecting blocks 22. When the driving assembly 30 drives the connecting block 22 to move back and forth, through the joint action of the two second connecting rods 25 and the first connecting rod 24, the other connecting block 22 moves relative to or away from the connecting block 22. A cooling fan 12 is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet 10, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes are arranged on each support plate 11.

[0034] When installing the switch, the cabinet door of the cabinet 10 is opened, and the operator drives the two connection blocks 22 and the claws 21 thereon to move outward by starting the driving assembly 30. When the distance between the two claws 21 is greater than the length of the switch, the driving assembly 30 is stopped, and the switch is placed at a suitable position on the upper surface of the support plate 11. The driving assembly 30 is started again to drive the two connection blocks 22 and the claws 21 thereon to move closer to each other until the claws 21 fix the two sides and the upper surface of the switch and stop moving; since the two connection blocks 22 are connected by two second connecting rods 25 and the first connecting rod 24, and the first connecting rod 24 is rotatably arranged under the support plate 11, when one of the connection blocks 22 is translated under the action of the driving assembly 30, the other connection block 22 moves relative to or away from the connection block 22 through the joint action of the second connecting rod 25 and the first connecting rod 24. Similarly, the switch on each support plate 11 is fixed.

[0035] The switch usually needs to be kept within an appropriate temperature range to ensure its normal operation and stable performance. Too high a temperature may cause the switch to overheat, which in turn affects its performance or even damages the device. Therefore, the cooling fan 12 provided at the bottom of the cabinet 10 and the multiple heat dissipation holes provided on each support plate 11 are used to increase the air circulation channel and promote the dissipation of heat. These heat dissipation holes allow hot air to flow more easily through the space above the support plate 11, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the entire cabinet 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, according to the specification Figure 2 -Attached Figure 4 It can be seen that the driving assembly 30 includes a screw rod 31 horizontally arranged below the support plate 11 , and the screw rod 31 rotates under the drive of the motor 32 , and one of the connecting blocks 22 is threadedly connected to and penetrates the screw rod 31 .

[0037] After the switch is placed on the support plate 11, it needs to be fixed with a locking mechanism 20. Specifically, the motor 32 drives the screw 31 to rotate, and the screw 31 drives the connecting block 22 threadedly connected thereto to move horizontally along the length direction of the guide groove. When one of the connecting blocks 22 moves horizontally back and forth under the action of the driving component 30, the other connecting block 22 moves closer to or away from the connecting block 22 through the action of the two second connecting rods 25 and the first connecting rod 24. Because the two connecting blocks 22 are respectively connected to the two claws 21, the switch will be locked when the two claws 21 are closer to each other, and the switch can be taken out when the two claws 21 are farther away from each other. In addition, the driving component 30 can also be any part that can drive the connecting block 22 to move horizontally back and forth, such as a cylinder, a linear motor, etc.

[0038] In this embodiment, according to the specification Figure 3 It can be seen that the telescopic assembly 40 includes: a telescopic rod 41, a spring, a limiting boss 42 and a pressure block. The telescopic rod 41 is vertically and slidably arranged at the top of the claw 21, and the upper end of the telescopic rod 41 is provided with a limiting boss 42 after passing through the top of the claw 21, and the pressure block provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod 41 abuts against the upper surface of the switch; the elastic member 43 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 41, and the upper end of the elastic member 43 abuts against the limiting boss 42, and the lower end of the elastic member 43 abuts against the upper surface of the claw 21. The elastic member 43 is a spring.

[0039] When using the switch, it should be ensured that the switch is in a stable position and is firmly fixed to avoid unnecessary movement and related potential hazards. Initially, the operator places the switch on the support plate 11 and slowly pushes it into the cabinet 10. When the switch encounters a block, the operator gently pulls the telescopic rod 41 upward so that the switch can continue to move forward. When the operator pushes the switch to a suitable position, the operation stops. At this time, because the switch has a certain thickness, the spring is in a stretched state. The telescopic rod 41 has a downward pressure tendency under the action of the spring tension, so that the block at the lower end of the telescopic rod 41 presses on the upper surface of the switch, and the switch is thus fixed. The surface of the claw 21 contacting the switch and the lower surface of the block are coated with a rubber coating. The claw 21 and the block coated with rubber coating can provide additional anti-skid and buffering effects, thereby reducing the possibility of movement of the switch. In addition, the rubber coating also helps to protect the surface of the equipment from scratches or damage.

[0040] In this embodiment, according to the specification Figure 5It can be seen that multiple rollers 13 are respectively arranged on both sides below each support plate 11, and each roller 13 is rollingly connected to the lower surface of the support plate 11; a rack 14 is horizontally arranged on the upper surface of each support plate 11, and the length direction of the rack 14 is parallel to the width direction of the cabinet 10. The rack 14 is meshed with a gear 16 arranged on one side of the cabinet 10, and the gear 16 rotates under the drive of the knob 15.

[0041] When the switch in the cabinet 10 needs to be replaced or maintained, the knob 15 arranged on the outside of the cabinet 10 is turned clockwise, and the knob 15 drives the gear 16 connected thereto to rotate, and the gear 16 rotates to drive the rack 14 meshed therewith to move outward, because the rack 14 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support plate 11, when the rack 14 moves, it will drive the support plate 11 and the switch thereon to move out of the cabinet 10, and when the operator completes the maintenance, the knob 15 is turned counterclockwise, and the knob 15 drives the support plate 11 to move into the cabinet 10 through the gear 16 and the rack 14. Compared with the prior art, the reinforcement device design of the switch is more user-friendly.
