DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0033] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front or back, etc., are only the directions of the reference drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are used to illustrate and not to limit the present invention. In addition, in all embodiments, the same reference numerals represent the same elements.

[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] Combination Figures 3 to 5 A connecting bracket comprises: a first connecting member 100 and a second connecting member 200 which are interlocked and have the same structure; the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 both comprise a body 301, the body 301 comprises two first sides which are oppositely arranged and two second sides which are oppositely arranged, a rib plate 305 is arranged on one side of the body 301, and both sides of the rib plate 305 are respectively bent toward the first side to form a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion which abut against the body 301; the rib plate 305 has at least one slot 3051; and at least one fastening member 307 is arranged on the other side of the body 301;

[0036] When the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 are buckled together, the buckling member 307 of the first connecting member 100 and the slot 3051 of the second connecting member 200 are buckled, and the buckling member 307 of the second connecting member 200 and the slot 3051 of the first connecting member 100 are buckled.

[0037] This embodiment provides a connection bracket. Compared with the existing connection bracket, only two parts, the first connection member 100 and the second connection member 200, are needed to achieve a fixed connection between two switches 400, thereby reducing the positioning process, reducing the assembly and installation time, and reducing the risk of missing or wrong installation.

[0038] In this embodiment, the connecting bracket is made of 2.0 thick carbon steel. Compared with the traditional connecting bracket made of 1.0-1.2 thick carbon steel, the connecting bracket provided in this embodiment has higher strength, making the installation more secure.

[0039] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 The body 301 has at least one connecting through hole 308, such as Figure 3 or Figure 4 The body 301 has four connecting holes 308, which are used for fastening the first connector 100 or the second connector 200 to the chassis of the switch 400. Since one connecting hole 308 is blocked by the rib 305, the rib 305 can have an avoidance groove 3052 to avoid the connecting hole 308.

[0040] In this embodiment, the fastening member 307 is a pin. Since the pin has a certain length, in order to prevent the pin of the first connecting member 100 from scratching the body 301 of the second connecting member 200 or the pin of the second connecting member 200 from scratching the body 301 of the first connecting member 100 when the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 are fastened together, a first distance is formed between the rib 305 and the body 301.

[0041] In this embodiment, the width of the slot 3051 near the snap-fitting member 307 is greater than the width of the slot bottom away from the snap-fitting member 307, so that the snap-fitting member 307 can enter the slot 3051 more easily and realize the snap-fit ​​connection between the snap-fitting member 307 and the slot 3051.

[0042] In this embodiment, one of the first side edges is provided with a first folded edge 302, one of the second side panels is provided with a third bending portion 306, and the third bending portion 306 is provided with a step portion 3061 near the first side edge; when the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 are buckled together, the edge of the first folded edge 302 of the first connecting member 100 abuts against the step portion 3061 of the second connecting member 200, and the edge of the first folded edge 302 of the second connecting member 200 abuts against the step portion 3061 of the first connecting member 100.

[0043] Furthermore, the first folded edge 302 is flush with the first connecting portion, and it can be understood that when the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 are buckled, the top of the first connecting member 100 and the top of the second connecting member 200 have no raised portion, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first bending portion 303 and the second bending portion 304 are provided on the other first side, and a second spacing is formed between the first bending portion 303 and the second bending portion 304. In addition, the length of the first bending portion 303 is less than the length of the second bending portion 304. This design allows the bottom of the first connecting member 100 and the bottom of the second connecting member 200 to be plugged together when the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 are buckled together. Figure 4 As shown, the shape of the connecting bracket is roughly rectangular.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first bending portion 303 defines a fixing through hole 309 , and the fixing through hole 309 is used to achieve a fixed connection between chassis of two subsequent switches 400 .

[0046] The installation principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0047] The bolt passes through the connecting through hole 308 to fasten the first connecting member 100 or the second connecting member 200 to the chassis of the switch 400 .

[0048] After the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 are buckled together, the fastening member 307 of the first connecting member 100 and the slot 3051 of the second connecting member 200 are engaged, and the fastening member 307 of the second connecting member 200 and the slot 3051 of the first connecting member 100 are engaged, thereby achieving the fastening between the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200.

[0049] The bolt passes through the fixing through hole 309 to further fasten the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 .

[0050] From the above, it can be seen that the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 are installed by snap-fitting, that is, the fastening member 307 of the first connecting member 100 and the slot 3051 of the second connecting member 200 are snap-fitted, and the fastening member 307 of the second connecting member 200 and the slot 3051 of the first connecting member 100 are snap-fitted, so that the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 form a whole, that is, the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 constitute a connecting bracket.

[0051] The connection bracket provided in this embodiment adopts multiple bends, compared with the traditional connection bracket which generally directly adopts a single-side bend, and the strength is not as good as the connection bracket provided in this embodiment.

[0052] Embodiment 2

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, a connection system includes: at least two switches 400;

[0054] As provided in the connection bracket of the first embodiment, a first connection member 100 is provided on one side of one switch 400, and a second connection member 200 is provided on one side of another switch 400. The two switches 400 are connected by the mutual engagement of the first connection member 100 and the second connection member 200.

[0055] The installation principle of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
