Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, and in particular to a switch rack. Background Technology

[0002] A switch is a device in a computer network used to transmit data packets between multiple network devices. It determines which port to send a data packet to based on its destination address, ensuring the data reaches its correct destination. Switches are commonly used in local area networks (LANs) to improve network performance, reduce packet collisions, and provide better security.

[0003] Among the various ways to install switches in the rack today, there are three main types: ear-mounted installation, static rail installation, and quick-mount rail installation. Among these, quick-mount rail is the fastest and most stable installation method. The installation process can be completely tool-free, making it convenient to operate; it eliminates the need for screw tightening, saving installation time; the switch can be partially pulled out for easy management, and the structure is stable and not prone to sinking.

[0004] Switches from different brands have slight differences in width, such as 442mm, 442.5mm, and 438.4mm. This makes it difficult to install switches of different sizes on the same switch rack, resulting in incompatibility. Utility Model Content

[0036] This utility model proposes a switch rack designed to solve the problem that switches of different sizes cannot be installed in the same switch rack. Figures 1 to 6This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the switch rack provided by this utility model.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This utility model proposes a switch frame 100, including a frame body 1, a slide rail assembly 2, and a switch. The frame body 1 is provided with multiple mounting layers 1a at intervals along the height direction. Each mounting layer 1a is provided with two crossbeams 11. The slide rail assembly 2 includes two slide rails arranged at intervals. Each slide rail is slidably mounted on a crossbeam 11 and can be expanded or retracted in the frame body 1 in the horizontal direction. Each of the two slide rails is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 211 facing the other slide rail. The two side walls of the switch are provided with movable snap-fit ​​pieces 4, which can be extended and retracted facing the slide rails.

[0038] The present invention proposes a switch rack 100, comprising a frame 1, a slide rail assembly 2, and a switch. The frame 1 has multiple mounting layers 1a spaced apart along its height, and each mounting layer 1a has two crossbeams 11. The slide rail assembly 2 includes two spaced slide rails, each slide rail being slidably mounted on a crossbeam 11 and capable of being horizontally extended or retracted into the frame 1. Each slide rail has a snap-fit ​​hole 211 facing the other slide rail. The switch is fixed to the slide rail by engaging snap-fit ​​parts 4 on its two side walls with the snap-fit ​​holes 211. For switches with different widths, the snap-fit ​​parts 4 can be adjusted. When the switch is wider, the snap-fit ​​parts 4 can be retracted; when the switch is narrower, the snap-fit ​​parts 4 can be extended. This allows for adjustment of the extension amount of the snap-fit ​​parts 4 to accommodate switches of different widths, improving the versatility of the equipment.

[0039] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​component 4 can be a snap-fit ​​rod with telescopic function, or it can be an adjusting screw that can be adjusted on the side wall of the switch. This utility model does not limit this. In one embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the switch is provided with a threaded hole. Correspondingly, the snap-fit ​​component 4 is adjusted by screwing the adjusting screw into the threaded hole and perpendicular to the plane of the side wall of the switch. By turning the adjusting screw to extend or retract it, it can be matched with snap-fit ​​components of switches of different widths. When the width of the switch is small, the adjusting screw is unscrewed; when the width of the switch is large, the adjusting screw is screwed into the threaded hole to match different switches.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the connector 4 adopts a replaceable design, meaning that different structures of connector 4 are installed according to the width of the switch. If the switch width is small, the matching connector 4 extends further, and vice versa. For details, please refer to further reading. Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Two different types of snap-fit ​​connectors 4, also known as I-shaped pins, are presented. During installation, the second protrusion 42 of the snap-fit ​​connector 4 engages with the snap-fit ​​hole 211 on the slide rail to achieve positioning. The second protrusion 42 is partially inserted into the circular hole 211a of the snap-fit ​​hole 211, causing the annular groove 43 to abut against the side wall of the circular hole 211a. Then, the slide rail moves relative to the switch, causing the snap-fit ​​connector 4 to engage with the oblong hole 211b. The width of the oblong hole 211b matches the inner diameter of the annular groove 43, thus achieving positioning. When installing a switch with a width of 438.4mm, the snap-fit ​​connector 4 should extend further. Figure 3 The connector 4 has a mounting part at one end, which is used to mount it onto the outer frame of the switch, so that the first protrusion 41 fits against the side wall of the switch. When installing a switch with a width of 442mm or 442.5mm, the following should be selected: Figure 4 The proposed connector 4 is designed so that the first protrusion 41 is located in the mounting hole of the outer frame of the switch, making the overall extension distance of the connector 4 smaller. The annular groove 43 of the connector 4 has a certain range of motion, which can be adapted to switches with similar sizes, such as switches with widths of 442mm and 442.5mm. Both can be used with the connector 4.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, each switch has multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 4 on one side wall. Correspondingly, the slide rail has multiple snap-fit ​​holes 211 on the side facing the switch. Each snap-fit ​​piece 4 engages with one snap-fit ​​hole 211 to achieve snap-fit ​​engagement, thereby supporting and fixing the switch. Multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 4 can distribute the weight of the switch evenly, ensuring the reliable stability of its structure. In this embodiment, each switch has four snap-fit ​​pieces 4 on one side wall, and a total of eight snap-fit ​​pieces 4 share the weight of the switch.

[0042] To ensure proper engagement and locking between the slide rail and the switch, a locking mechanism is provided on the side of the slide rail facing away from the switch. This locking mechanism abuts against a snap-fit ​​component 4 to secure the switch. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 6 The locking mechanism includes a deformation plate 22, one end of which is disposed on the slide rail and the other end is covered by a snap-fit ​​hole 211. The deformation plate 22 is provided with a limiting hole 221, which is connected to the waist-shaped hole 211b. A second protrusion 42 is disposed in the limiting hole 221, so that the second protrusion 42 abuts against one side of the limiting hole 221 to achieve limiting. During disassembly, it is only necessary to press the deformation plate 22 to deform it to achieve disassembly.

[0043] The switch in this utility model can extend and retract on the frame 1. When the switch is in the retracted state, a locking bolt 23 is provided at one end of the slide rail for locking the switch. A locking hole 121 is provided on one side of the frame 1. The locking bolt 23 is used to cooperate with the locking hole 121 to limit the slide rail. The slide rail can be locked by screwing the locking bolt 23 into the locking hole 121.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, the crossbeam 11 includes a first cross plate 111 and a second cross plate 112. A first groove 111a is provided on one side of the first cross plate 111, and the second cross plate 112 is slidably disposed in the first groove 111a. The extension and retraction of the frame 1 can be achieved by sliding the first cross plate 111. A second groove 111b is provided on the side of the first cross plate 111 facing away from the first groove 111a, and a slide rail is slidably disposed in the second groove 111b.

[0045] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
