Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network cabinet technology, specifically a network cabinet with a protective mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A network cabinet is a standardized cabinet used to install network equipment such as switches, routers, and servers. Network cabinets play a vital role in data centers and structured network cabling. They not only protect internal equipment from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, but also optimize space utilization and reduce floor space requirements. Furthermore, through proper layout and cabling, network cabinets ensure efficient operation and maintenance of the equipment.

[0003] In actual use, existing network cabinets often suffer from cable malfunctions. When external personnel accidentally touch or pull on the cables, the lack of effective restraint and securing measures makes it easy for cables to be pulled out of the cabinet. This not only disrupts connections between devices, affecting normal network operation, but can also cause physical damage to equipment, increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

A rotating rod is provided on the surface of the connecting seat, which passes through the connecting seat and the clamping wheel. The rotating rod is fixedly connected to the connecting seat. The protective component also includes a transmission component. When the circular plate rotates, the inner wall of the arc-shaped hole abuts against the surface of the short rod, which drives the connecting block, the connecting seat, and the clamping wheel to move radially synchronously. The surface of the clamping wheel abuts against the cable to limit the cable.

[0008] Preferably, the transmission component includes a through hole, which is formed on the surface of the fixed block. A locking tooth is fixed on the surface of the circular plate, and the end of the locking tooth away from the circular plate passes through the through hole. A circular block is rotatably connected to the back of the cabinet. A gear is fixed on the surface of the circular block, and the gear meshes with the locking tooth. A knob is fixed on the surface of the gear. When the knob is turned, the gear and locking tooth drive the circular plate to rotate synchronously. The inner wall of the arc-shaped hole abuts against the surface of the short rod, which drives the connecting block, connecting seat, and clamping wheel to move radially synchronously.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes a connecting hole, which is formed on the surface of the round block, gear, and knob. A fixing cylinder is fixed to the back of the cabinet. A locking block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder. A fixing post is fixed to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder. A spring is fixed to the surface of the fixing post. The end of the spring away from the fixing post is fixed to the surface of the locking block. The end of the locking block away from the spring passes through the fixing cylinder. A locking groove is formed on the inner side of the connecting hole. A connecting groove is formed on the surface of the locking block. The surface of the knob rotates... The device is connected to a base plate, and a long rod is provided on the surface of the base plate. The long rod passes through the base plate, the connecting hole, and the fixing cylinder, and is slidably connected to the base plate and the fixing cylinder. A pressure plate is fixed on the surface of the long rod, and a second spring is fixed on the surface of the pressure plate. The end of the second spring away from the pressure plate is fixed to the surface of the base plate. The connecting groove is set as an inclined surface. When the knob is turned clockwise, the inner wall of the groove abuts against the inclined surface of the locking block, which does not affect the clockwise rotation of the knob. The side of the locking block away from the inclined surface abuts against the inner wall of the groove, and the knob cannot be turned counterclockwise to avoid the clamping wheel loosening the cable.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the rotating rod is provided with a pawl, and the inner side of the clamping wheel is provided with a ratchet, which allows the clamping wheel to rotate only in the forward direction.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a network cabinet with a protective mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This network cabinet with a protective mechanism, through the protective components, rotates the knob, and the gears and cleats drive the circular plate to rotate synchronously. The inner wall of the arc-shaped hole abuts against the surface of the short rod, which drives the connecting block, connecting seat, and clamping wheel to move radially synchronously. The surface of the clamping wheel abuts against the cable, limiting the cable. Through ratchet and pawl, the cable is prevented from being pulled outward, avoiding accidental cable detachment and affecting use.

[0014] 2. This network cabinet with a protective mechanism, through the set limit components, when the knob is turned forward, the inner wall of the card slot abuts against the inclined surface of the card block, which will not affect the forward rotation of the knob. When the side of the card block away from the inclined surface abuts against the inner wall of the card slot, the knob cannot be reversed. This prevents the clamping wheel from loosening the cable, pressing the pressure plate, and the surface of the long rod abutting against the inclined surface of the connecting groove, causing the card block to disengage from the card slot. At this time, the knob can be reversed normally. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figures 1-9As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a network cabinet with a protective mechanism, including a cabinet body 1, a front door 2 installed on the surface of the cabinet body 1, a side door 3 installed on the surface of the cabinet body 1, a cable insertion hole 4 opened on the back of the cabinet body 1, a protective component 5 to prevent accidental cable detachment and a limiting component 6 to limit the protective component 5 on the back of the cabinet body 1, the protective component 5 including: a fixing block 50, a cavity 51, a circular plate 52, an arc-shaped hole 53, a short rod 54, a connecting block 55, a connecting seat 56, a pressure wheel 57, a rotating rod 58, a transmission component 59, a through hole 590, a locking tooth 591, a circular block 592, a gear 593, and a knob 594.

[0026] The fixing block 50 is fixed to the back of the cabinet 1. The fixing block 50 has a cavity 51 inside. A circular plate 52 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 51. An arc-shaped hole 53 is opened on the surface of the circular plate 52. A short rod 54 abuts against the inner wall of the arc-shaped hole 53. The protective component 5 also includes a connecting block 55. The connecting block 55 is fixed to the inner wall of the short rod 54 and slidably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 51. A connecting seat 56 is fixed to the surface of the connecting block 55. A pressure wheel 57 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the connecting seat 56. A rotating rod 58 is provided on the surface of the connecting seat 56. The rotating rod 58 passes through the connecting seat 56 and presses against it.

The surface of rotating rod 58 is provided with pawl, and the inner side of clamping wheel 57 is provided with ratchet. When the circular plate 52 rotates, the inner wall of the arc-shaped hole 53 abuts against the surface of short rod 54, which can drive connecting block 55, connecting seat 56 and clamping wheel 57 to move radially in sync. The surface of clamping wheel 57 abuts against the cable to limit the cable. When connecting cables, the ratchet and pawl can make clamping wheel 57 rotate normally in the forward direction without affecting the connection of the cable. At the same time, the cable will not be pulled outward, avoiding accidental cable detachment and affecting use.

[0027] The transmission component 59 includes a through hole 590, which is formed on the surface of the fixed block 50. A retaining tooth 591 is fixed on the surface of the circular plate 52. One end of the retaining tooth 591 away from the circular plate 52 passes through the through hole 590. A circular block 592 is rotatably connected to the back of the cabinet 1. A gear 593 is fixed on the surface of the circular block 592. The gear 593 meshes with the retaining tooth 591. A knob 594 is fixed on the surface of the gear 593. When the knob 594 is rotated, the gear 593 and the retaining tooth 591 drive the circular plate 52 to rotate synchronously. The inner wall of the arc-shaped hole 53 abuts against the surface of the short rod 54, which drives the connecting block 55, the connecting seat 56, and the pressure wheel 57 to move radially synchronously, so that the pressure wheel 57 presses or releases the cable.

[0028] The limiting component 6 includes a connecting hole 60, which is formed on the surface of the round block 592, gear 593, and knob 594. A fixing cylinder 61 is fixed to the back of the cabinet 1. A locking block 62 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 61. A fixing post 63 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 61. A spring 64 is fixed to the surface of the fixing post 63. The end of the spring 64 away from the fixing post 63 is fixed to the surface of the locking block 62. The end of the locking block 62 away from the spring 64 passes through the fixing cylinder 61. A locking groove 69 is formed on the inner side of the connecting hole 60. A connecting groove 68 is formed on the surface of the locking block 62. A base plate 600 is rotatably connected to the surface of the knob 594. A long rod 65 is provided on the surface of the base plate 600. The long rod 65 passes through the base plate 600, the connecting hole 60, and the fixing cylinder 61. The fixed cylinder 61 and the long rod 65 are slidably connected to the base plate 600 and the fixed cylinder 61. A pressure plate 66 is fixed to the surface of the long rod 65, and a second spring 67 is fixed to the surface of the pressure plate 66. The end of the second spring 67 away from the pressure plate 66 is fixed to the surface of the base plate 600. The connecting groove 68 is set as an inclined surface. The end of the locking block 62 away from the first spring 64 is set as an inclined surface. When the knob 594 rotates forward, the inner wall of the locking groove 69 abuts against the inclined surface of the locking block 62, which will not affect the forward rotation of the knob 594. The side of the locking block 62 away from the inclined surface abuts against the inner wall of the locking groove 69. The knob 594 cannot be reversed to prevent the clamping wheel 57 from loosening the cable and pressing the pressure plate 66. The surface of the long rod 65 abuts against the inclined surface of the connecting groove 68, and the locking block 62 disengages from the locking groove 69. At this time, the knob 594 can be reversed normally.

[0029] When a cable needs to be connected, the cable is passed through the insertion hole 4 to connect to the equipment inside the cabinet 1. Simultaneously, the operator rotates the knob 594 clockwise. At this time, gears 593 and pawls 591 drive the circular plate 52 to rotate synchronously. The inner wall of the arc-shaped hole 53 then abuts against the surface of the short rod 54, causing the connecting block 55, connecting seat 56, and pressure wheel 57 to move radially synchronously. The surface of the pressure wheel 57 then abuts against the cable, limiting its movement. During cable connection, the ratchet and pawl allow the pressure wheel 57 to rotate normally without affecting the cable connection, and the cable will not be pulled outwards, preventing accidental cable detachment and ensuring usability. When the knob 594 is rotated clockwise, the inner wall of the slot 69 abuts against the inclined surface of the locking block 62, allowing the locking block 62 to move. The spring... When the spring 64 is compressed, and the position of the locking block 62 is parallel to the locking slot 69, the spring 64 is released, allowing the locking block 62 to reset and enter the locking slot 69 without affecting the forward rotation of the knob 594. At the same time, the side of the locking block 62 away from the inclined surface abuts against the inner wall of the locking slot 69, preventing the knob 594 from reversing and avoiding the pressure wheel 57 from loosening the cable. At this time, it can be used normally. When it is necessary to pull out the cable, the pressure plate 66 is pressed. At this time, the surface of the long rod 65 abuts against the inclined surface of the connecting groove 68, which can drive the locking block 62 to disengage from the locking slot 69. At this time, the knob 594 can be reversed normally, which can cause the gear 593, the locking tooth 591, and the circular plate 52 to reverse, which can drive the short rod 54, the connecting block 55, the connecting seat 56, and the pressure wheel 57 to loosen the cable. At this time, it can be removed normally.

[0030] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
