Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network switch technology, specifically a wall-mounted network switch. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional network switches are typically fixed to external devices or fixtures using bolts or similar structures. In some special installation environments, due to space constraints and installation methods, network switches may need to be wall-mounted. However, this requires connecting the network switch to the external device or fixture using bolts, which is cumbersome and requires bypassing pre-drilled holes in the fixture. This results in less space between the network switch and the fixture. Furthermore, the network switch needs to be disassembled for later maintenance or replacement. The installation structure and method make disassembly and assembly of network switches cumbersome, leading to low efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a wall-mounted network switch, which solves the problem of the difficulty in installing traditional network switches when they need to be wall-mounted.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a wall-mounted network switch, including a main body and a housing for installation on external devices or a wall. The housing has a slot through which the main body is inserted along its height direction. The front wall of the housing has a slot for communicating with the slot. A limiting plate is slidably disposed on the slot along the height direction of the housing to prevent the main body from tipping over and falling out of the slot. The housing is provided with a fixing member for fixing the limiting plate after it slides. The limiting plate is provided with a loading member for applying a force to the main body after it slides.
[0005] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: Before installing the network switch, the casing is first installed on external equipment or a wall. Then, the switch is simply placed into the slot through the groove to achieve initial installation. The limiting plate is then moved to a designated position to initially limit the switch, preventing it from shaking or tipping over and falling out of the slot. This initial positioning is achieved. The limiting plate is then fixed in place by fasteners to prevent failure of the limiting mechanism. A loading component applies force to the switch to keep it fixed in the slot, thus preventing shaking, loosening, or displacement that could lead to electronic connection failures between the switch and other electronic devices. This technical setup allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the switch, improving installation efficiency. When disassembly is needed, simply releasing the loading and fasteners allows the switch to quickly exit the slot without removing the casing and bolts, further improving efficiency and reducing difficulty.
[0006] This utility model further includes the following features: sliding grooves are formed on both side walls of the housing along the height direction of the housing, and the sliding grooves are connected to the receiving grooves. Each limiting plate has a mating plate bent towards the inner wall of both sides of the receiving groove, and both mating plates are located within the receiving grooves. Each of the outer walls of the two mating plates has a rotating shaft rotatably arranged towards the adjacent sliding groove, and both rotating shafts are slidably arranged in their respective corresponding sliding grooves. Limiting holes are formed on both side walls of the housing, and the limiting holes are connected to the adjacent sliding grooves. A first threaded groove is formed circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft, and a limiting sleeve is threadedly connected to the limiting hole. A second threaded groove is formed circumferentially on the inner peripheral wall of the shaft hole of the limiting sleeve for threaded connection with the first threaded groove. The limiting sleeve serves as a fixing component.
[0007] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are: when moving the limiting plate, it is only necessary to push the limiting plate so that the mating plate slides along the height direction of the housing, thereby driving the rotating shaft to slide in the slide groove. When it slides to a certain height, the rotating shaft is located in the limiting hole. At this time, the installer only needs to screw the limiting sleeve into the limiting hole so that the limiting sleeve and the limiting hole are threadedly connected to each other to fix the limiting sleeve in the limiting hole. When the limiting sleeve is screwed in, the second thread groove in the shaft hole of the limiting sleeve is threadedly connected to the first thread groove on the rotating shaft, thereby fixing the rotating shaft in the limiting hole, and thus fixing the limiting plate, thereby avoiding the limiting plate from failing to limit the machine body.
[0008] The present invention is further provided with the following configuration: the limiting plate has three positioning holes, which are distributed in a triangular shape. Each positioning hole is threaded with a loading shaft. The end of the loading shaft is provided with a rotating wheel for external operators to rotate. The beginning of the loading shaft is a loading end for applying load to the machine body. The loading shaft is the loading component.
[0009] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are: each of the three positioning holes is connected to a loading shaft, and the force applied to the machine body is achieved by screwing in the loading shaft, thereby fixing and limiting the machine body in the container and preventing the machine body from shaking or loosening. At the same time, the three positioning holes are distributed in a triangular shape, so that the loading force is distributed in a triangular shape, which further improves the limiting and fixing of the machine body.
[0010] The present invention further includes: the beginning end of the loading shaft is wrapped with an expansion pad for abutting against the outer wall of the machine body, the expansion pad being made of elastic rubber material.
[0011] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the installation of the tension pad prevents the machine body from being damaged due to excessive loading force when it is loaded.
[0012] The present invention is further provided in that: an extension plate extends from both sides of the housing, and a connection hole is provided on both extension plates. The connection hole is threaded with an installation bolt for threaded engagement with external equipment or pre-embedded holes in the wall. The bottom wall of the extension plate is flush with the rear wall of the housing.
[0013] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that when the housing needs to be installed, the extension plate is flush with the outer wall of the external equipment or the wall, and then the mounting bolts are screwed in so that the mounting bolts are threaded into the pre-embedded holes on the external equipment or the wall, thereby fixing the housing to the external equipment or the wall, and thus realizing the wall-mounted installation of the network switch.
[0014] The present invention is further provided with a plurality of through slots on the bottom wall of the housing for external cables to pass through.
[0015] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the slot design facilitates the electrical connection between external cables and the network switch, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the network switch and external electronic components.
