[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of network devices, in particular to a rail-mounted ring network industrial switch. Background Art

[0002] With the development of industrial automation, the requirements for data communication are constantly increasing, and the rail-mounted ring network industrial switch emerges as the times require. It can adapt to harsh industrial environments, such as large temperature changes, a lot of dust and moisture, strong electromagnetic interference, etc., and has a wide temperature design, good protection level and anti-electromagnetic interference ability. At the same time, in industrial control systems, it realizes redundant backup through ring network technology to ensure uninterrupted data transmission. In addition, the rail-mounted installation method makes it easy to install in industrial control cabinets, saving space and being easy to maintain, meeting the requirements of industrial sites for equipment compactness and easy maintainability.

[0003] When the existing rail-mounted ring network industrial switch faces different tracks and layouts, due to its inability to be installed horizontally or vertically, in the face of special situations such as multiple vertical tracks in a vertical layout, it is impossible to adjust the installation position according to the spacing and height. This inflexible installation method brings great trouble to cable connection. It is difficult to reasonably arrange the cable routing in different layouts, resulting in cable crossover chaos, increasing the risk of cable damage, and reducing the stability of the system to a certain extent.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new rail-mounted ring network industrial switch to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a rail-mounted ring network industrial switch.

[0006] The rail-mounted ring network industrial switch provided by the utility model includes a switch body, and a rotary clamping structure is fixedly arranged on one side of the switch body;

[0007] The rotary clamping structure includes a rotary member and a clamping member. The clamping member is movably arranged on one side of the switch body. Four engaging grooves arranged in a ring shape are opened on one side of the switch body adjacent to the clamping member.

The bottom of the rotary member extends movably into the switch body, and four connecting blocks are fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the rotary member. One sides of the four connecting blocks are respectively fixedly connected to the inside of the clamping member.

[0008] Preferably, moving holes respectively communicating with the four engaging grooves are opened on one side of the switch body adjacent to the rotary member. Fixed holes with a diameter larger than that of the moving holes are opened inside the moving holes, and two limiting grooves are also opened inside the moving holes.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating member includes a return spring which is fixedly arranged inside the fixing hole. A rotating block whose two ends can move inside the limiting groove is fixedly arranged at the top end of the return spring. A fixing member is movably arranged at the top end of the rotating block. A connecting rod is fixedly arranged at the center of the top end of the rotating block, and the connecting rod movably extends into the fixing member.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing member includes a circular frame. The inner surface of the circular frame is movably connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod. A limiting plate is fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the connecting rod. One side of the limiting plate is movably connected to the bottom of the circular frame. One side of two engaging blocks is respectively fixedly connected to the outer surface of the circular frame.

[0011] Preferably, a circular plate is fixedly arranged at the top end of the circular frame, and a knob is fixedly arranged at the top end of the connecting rod.

[0012] Preferably, an annular groove is formed on one side of the switch body adjacent to the engaging groove. The clamping member includes an annular frame. The outer surface of the annular frame is movably connected to the inner surface of the annular groove. A clamping plate is fixedly arranged on the side of the annular frame away from the switch body. One side of each of four connecting blocks is respectively fixedly connected to the inside of the clamping plate.

[0013] Compared with the related art, the rail-mounted ring network industrial switch provided by the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] When the user faces a vertical installation layout and rotates the rotating member to the required angle, the bottom of the rotating member drives the rotating member to move outwards along the inside of the switch body. The engaging blocks at the top end of the rotating member disengage from the horizontal engaging groove. The user rotates the top end of the rotating member. When the two engaging blocks at the top end of the rotating member match the vertical engaging groove, the user presses the rotating member inwards and then rotates the bottom of the rotating member, and the engaging blocks can be snapped into the engaging groove. Thus, the user installs the switch body onto the rail through the use of the clamping member, which is convenient for layout according to the vertical rail, can perform reasonable wiring, prevent the crossing and chaos of cables, reduce the risk of cable damage, and improve the stability of the system to a certain extent.
