Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network equipment technology, specifically a hub for network equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Network devices are specialized hardware devices used to connect various servers, PCs, application terminals and other nodes to form an information communication network. Network devices are usually installed in network equipment boxes and server racks in computer rooms. After multiple network devices are installed in a server rack, there are a lot of data cables inside the rack, so a cable management rack is needed to organize these data cables.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document disclosing a hub for network equipment [Application No.: CN202322167529.X]. This hub for network equipment includes a base plate, with a first side plate and a second side plate respectively disposed at the front and rear edges of the upper end of the base plate. A pressure plate is detachably connected to the upper end of the first and second side plates, and multiple pressure strips are equidistantly disposed on the lower end of the pressure plate. Pressure strip grooves for the pressure strips to be embedded and connected are equidistantly opened on the upper end of the first and second side plates. The base plate, the pressure plate, and the first and second side plates connecting the base plate and the pressure plate enclose a cable management space.

[0004] The network device hub disclosed in this patent can store and organize data cables through the cooperation of the first and second hub slots, and limit the data cables with a cover plate. However, when the staff opens the cover plate, all data cables are exposed. When the staff adjusts some of the data cables according to actual needs, the limitation on the remaining data cables is released, which can easily affect the staff's operation. In addition, for thinner data cables, it is difficult to fix them when they pass through the first and second hub slots, and they are prone to shaking. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a network device hub includes a mounting plate 1. Slots 2 are provided on both sides of the top of the mounting plate 1. Two card plates 3 are detachably connected inside the slots 2. A first hub plate 4 and a second hub plate 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the two card plates 3. Storage slots are provided on the surfaces of both the first hub plate 4 and the second hub plate 5. The bottom of the inner wall of the storage slot is arc-shaped, allowing for easy separate collection of data cables. A U-shaped rod 6 slides through the surface of the mounting plate 1, passing through the surface of the card plates 3. Mounting slots 7 are provided on both sides of the mounting plate 1. Protective plates 8 are slidably connected inside the mounting slots 7. The surface of the U-shaped rod 6 contacts the interior of the protective plate 8, thus providing a protective enclosure for the U-shaped rod 6. The U-shaped rod 6 is protected by a cover to increase its stability during use. The top of the first hub plate 4 and the second hub plate 5 are both provided with slots 9. The inner wall of the slot 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 10. The surface of the connecting rod 10 is movably fitted with a hollow ring 17. The surface of the hollow ring 17 is fixedly connected to a flip plate 16. The surface of the flip plate 16 is provided with a groove. The inner wall of the groove is in contact with the surface of the connecting rod 10. The groove is designed to facilitate the smooth rotation of the flip plate 16. The surface of the flip plate 16 is in contact with the top of the first hub plate 4 and the second hub plate 5. The top of the flip plate 16 is slidably connected to a slide rod 11. The top of the slide rod 11 is fixedly connected to a pull plate 12. The bottom of the slide rod 11 is equipped with a pressing mechanism 13. The surface of the slide rod 11 is provided with an auxiliary mechanism 14.

[0024] The pressing mechanism 13 includes a pressure plate 131, a disc 132, and a compression spring 133. The pressure plate 131 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide rod 11, and the disc 132 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 11. The bottom of the disc 132 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 131. The compression spring 133 is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 11, and one end of the compression spring 133 is fixedly connected to the top of the disc 132. When the operator pulls the pull plate 12, the disc 132 and the pressure plate 131 can be raised. During this process, the compression spring 133 is compressed by force. In use, the pressure plate 131 can be lowered by the elastic force of the compression spring 133 to cover and limit the data cable of the network device, thereby improving the limiting effect of the data cable.

[0025] The auxiliary mechanism 14 includes a guide rod 141, a movable plate 142, a collar 143, and a tension spring 144. Both ends of the guide rod 141 are fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of the first hub plate 4 and the second hub plate 5, respectively. The movable plate 142 is movably sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 141. The collar 143 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 142, and the guide rod 141 slides through the collar 143. The tension spring 144 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 141, and both ends of the tension spring 144 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the first hub plate 4 and the surface of the collar 143, respectively. The other end of the compression spring 133 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving plate 142. A positioning rod 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving plate 142. A positioning groove is opened on the surface of the first hub plate 4. The surface of the positioning rod 15 contacts the inner wall of the positioning groove. By using the positioning rod 15 in conjunction with the positioning groove, the state of the auxiliary mechanism 14 can be reinforced. Under the action of the elastic force of the tension spring 144, the moving plate 142 can drive the positioning rod 15 to move so that the positioning rod 15 can pass through the positioning groove, thereby reinforcing the position of the auxiliary mechanism 14.

[0026] Working principle: The operator installs the mounting plate 1 inside the cabinet, then passes the network equipment data cable through the storage slot. The operator then pulls the pull plate 12, which pushes the flip plate 16 towards the position of the second hub plate 5. After that, the operator rotates the flip plate 16, and the pressing mechanism 13 is placed between the first hub plate 4 and the second hub plate 5. Then, under the action of the tension spring 144, the moving plate 142 drives the positioning rod 15 to move. The positioning rod 15 cooperates with the positioning slot to reinforce the state of the moving plate 142. At the same time, under the action of the compression spring 133, the disc 132 descends to cover and protect the data cable, reducing the possibility of thinner data cables shaking inside the storage slot, thereby improving the aesthetics of the hub rack during use.

[0027] When a single data cable needs to be disassembled, the worker pulls the corresponding pull plate 12, which in turn moves and flips the flip plate 16, thereby releasing the restriction on the data cable. At this time, the worker can remove the data cable. When all data cables need to be disassembled, the worker can pull the protective plate 8 and remove the U-shaped rod 6. Then, the worker can remove the first hub plate 4 and the second hub plate 5 together to release the restriction on the data cables. At this time, the worker can quickly remove all the data cables.
