Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of network cable panels, and in particular to a dual-port network cable panel. Background Art

[0002] A network cable panel, also known as a network interface panel or network outlet, is a device used to connect network cables (such as Ethernet cables) to a computer network. It is typically installed in a junction box on the wall or floor and is part of a structured cabling system.

[0003] The network cable panel in the related technology usually includes a fixing frame and a panel. When the fixing frame is installed for the first time on site, it needs to be installed in conjunction with the pre-installed built-in wall frame inside the wall. The built-in wall frame has mounting ears that can be fixed with screws. During actual installation, the fixing frame and the built-in wall frame are first fixed with screws, and then the panel is fixed to the fixing frame.

[0004] The inventors believe that the aforementioned related technologies have the following drawbacks: Traditional installation methods require the use of a pre-installed wall frame, and the mounting lugs of the wall frame must be precisely positioned without deformation or damage. However, during actual on-site construction, especially during secondary renovations, the original mounting lugs are often deformed or damaged. Installation speed is significantly limited by the integrity of the installation environment, thus requiring improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce the impact of the integrity of the installation environment on the installation speed, the present application provides a dual-port network cable panel.

[0006] The dual-port network cable panel provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A dual-port network cable panel includes a panel and a fixed frame. The fixed frame is provided with an inner support assembly. The inner support assembly includes an inner support rod slidably connected to the fixed frame and an inner support piece connected to the fixed frame and used to push the inner support rod outward.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the design enables the fixed frame to be adaptively installed in installation spaces of different sizes and shapes through the extension and contraction of the internal support rods, without having to rely entirely on the pre-installed wall built-in frame and its mounting ears inside the wall, thereby significantly improving the installation speed and flexibility and reducing the installation difficulties caused by changes in the internal structure of the wall.

[0009] Preferably, the fixed frame is fixed with a sliding sleeve via a support rod, and the inner support rod is slidably connected to the sliding sleeve.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding connection between the inner support rod and the sliding sleeve ensures smooth extension and retraction of the inner support rod, thereby improving the operating stability and reliability of the inner support assembly. At the same time, the provision of the sliding sleeve can effectively reduce the friction generated by the inner support rod during movement, thereby extending the service life of the inner support assembly.

[0011] Preferably, an inward-retracting elastic member for pulling the inner support rod inward is provided between the inner support rod and the sliding sleeve.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the retractable elastic member disposed between the inner support rod and the sliding sleeve effectively ensures that the inner support rod remains in a retracted state when not subjected to external forces. This not only facilitates transportation and storage before installation, but also allows for quick adjustment of the inner support rod's position during installation, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the number of inner support rods in the inner support assembly is a pair, and the inner support member is conical and located between the two inner support rods.

[0014] By adopting this technical solution, the fixation frame can effectively improve its adaptability and stability within walls of varying sizes and shapes. The tapered design ensures a more even distribution of force on the inner support rods as they are pushed outward, ensuring close contact between the inner support rods and the wall, enhancing the fixation effect. Furthermore, the paired inner support rods better balance the support force on both sides, avoiding unstable fixation caused by uneven force on one side.

[0015] Preferably, the fixing frame is provided with an adjustment hole, an adjustment rod is threadedly connected to the adjustment hole, and the adjustment rod is fixedly connected to the inner support member.

[0016] By adopting this technical solution, the position of the internal support can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment rod. This design not only ensures that the internal support can accurately apply force in walls of different thicknesses, improving installation stability, but also adapts to possible deformation or damage of the pre-installed frame inside the wall, significantly improving installation efficiency and reliability.

[0017] Preferably, the adjusting rod has a plurality of breaking grooves evenly distributed along the axial direction.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a plurality of breaking grooves are provided on the adjusting rod, so that the adjusting rod can be broken at an appropriate length according to actual installation requirements, thereby adapting to installation spaces of different specifications, so as to finally be available for the final installation of the panel, thereby improving the product's scope of application and installation flexibility.

[0019] Preferably, the panel is provided with an elastic pad, and the elastic pad abuts against the end of the adjustment rod away from the inner support member.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic pad can press against the adjustment rod, thereby further improving the stability of the adjustment rod.

[0021] Preferably, the panel is provided with a buckle, and the fixing frame is provided with a hole for the buckle to be inserted.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the clips set on the panel and the clip holes on the fixing frame can realize the rapid installation and disassembly between the panel and the fixing frame, thereby improving the installation efficiency and reducing the dependence on tools, making the installation easier and faster.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The internal support assembly allows the mounting frame to be fixed directly within the installation space, eliminating the need for pre-installed mounting ears within the wall. This effectively solves the installation difficulties caused by deformation or damage of the mounting ears in traditional installation methods, improving installation speed and reliability.

[0025] 2. The combined design of the sliding sleeve and inner support rod allows the inner support rod to slide within the sliding sleeve, ensuring the stability and flexibility of the inner support rod and further enhancing the stability of the fixed frame;

[0026] 3. The design of the adjustment hole and adjustment rod allows the user to adjust the position of the inner support rod by rotating the adjustment rod, thereby adapting to the installation space in different situations, improving the product's applicability and installation convenience.

[0038] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of the present invention and are not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can fully combine the embodiments of the present invention to derive other embodiments without creative work, and these embodiments are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The inventors of the present application have discovered that the traditional installation method must rely on a pre-installed built-in wall frame inside the wall, and the installation ears of the built-in wall frame must be accurately positioned without deformation or damage. However, during the actual on-site construction process, especially during the secondary renovation process, the original installation ears inside the wall are often deformed or damaged. At this time, the installation speed is largely limited by the integrity of the installation environment, so it needs to be improved. To this end, the present application mainly adopts the following scheme: the fixed frame is provided with an internal support assembly, and the internal support assembly includes an internal support rod slidably connected to the fixed frame and an internal support member connected to the fixed frame and used to push the internal support rod outward, thereby achieving the effect of fast and reliable installation without relying on a pre-installed frame inside the wall. Example

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dual-port network cable panel provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a panel 1, which has both a network cable interface 11 and an optical fiber interface 12. The panel 1 is connected to the fixing frame 2 by snapping.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixed frame 2 is installed in the reserved space of the wall 3 via two internal support assemblies 4. This reserved space can be a hole reserved during the pouring process of the wall 3 or an existing built-in wall frame 31 during secondary renovation (regardless of whether the mounting ears are damaged). The two internal support assemblies 4 are located at two opposite edges of the fixed frame 2 to provide stable support at both locations.

[0042] Each internal support assembly 4 includes two internal support rods 41 and an internal support member 42 positioned between the two internal support rods 41. The internal support rods 41 are made of stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance and strength. The length of the internal support rods 41 can be adjusted according to the actual installation space. The internal support member 42 has a conical design and is positioned between the two internal support rods 41. In other embodiments, the internal support member 42 can also be designed as a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder to smoothly push the internal support rods 41 outward.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, a support rod 43 is fixedly provided on the side of the fixed frame 2 facing the wall, and a sliding sleeve 44 is fixedly provided on the end of the support rod 43 away from the fixed frame 2. The number of sliding sleeves 44 corresponds to the number of inner support rods 41, and the inner support rods 41 are inserted into the sliding sleeves 44 to achieve stable sliding. In this embodiment, the sliding sleeves 44 are made of plastic material with a low friction coefficient to reduce the resistance of the inner support rods 41 during movement. In addition, an inward retracting elastic member 45 is also provided between the inner support rods 41 and the sliding sleeves 44. The inward retracting elastic member 45 can be a tension spring, a rubber band or a torsion spring, which is used to pull the two inner support rods 41 inward. The design of the inward retracting elastic member 45 enables the inner support rods 41 to automatically retract when not subjected to external force, so as to facilitate disassembly and repositioning.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 Initially, the tip of the inner support member 42 is located between the two inner support rods 41. The fixed frame 2 is provided with an adjustment hole 50 through its thickness. An adjustment rod 5 is threadedly connected to the adjustment hole 50. The adjustment rod 5 is fixedly connected to the inner support member 42. By rotating the adjustment rod 5, the degree to which the inner support member 42 is pushed out of the two inner support rods 41 can be adjusted.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 The adjusting rod 5 is evenly distributed along its axial direction with several breakaway grooves 51, allowing for easy removal of excess length after installation, facilitating subsequent installation of the panel 1. An elastic pad 52 is also adhesively secured to the panel 1 relative to the adjusting rod 5. Made of rubber, the pad 52 provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption. The pad 52 abuts against the end of the adjusting rod 5 away from the inner support member 42, providing a firm and secure fit to prevent displacement of the adjusting rod 5.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 The edge of the panel 1 is provided with a buckle 6, and the fixing frame 2 is provided with a card hole for the buckle 6 to be inserted at the corresponding position, which facilitates the rapid installation and removal of the panel 1 and the fixing frame 2. The buckle 6 can be made of plastic or metal and has good elasticity and durability.

[0047] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: through the design of the internal support assembly 4, the dual-port Ethernet panel 1 can be quickly and reliably installed without relying on a pre-installed frame inside the wall 3. The internal support rods 41 are pushed out by external forces, clinging to the wall surface, forming four stable support points, allowing the dual-port Ethernet panel to perform excellently in various installation environments.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
