Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of patch panel technology, and in particular to an adjustable fiber optic patch panel. Background Technology
[0002] In modern network cabling projects, fiber optic patch panels play a crucial role. With the rapid growth of data transmission demands and increasingly complex network architectures, a large number of optical fibers need to be connected and managed in an orderly manner. Fiber optic patch panels can provide a neat space for the placement of optical fibers, centralizing the intricate optical fiber lines and preventing them from becoming tangled and messy. This not only makes it easier for technicians to identify, plug, and maintain optical fibers, but also reduces signal transmission loss caused by unexpected situations such as fiber bending and compression, ensuring efficient and stable network operation.
[0003] Most existing fiber optic patch panels are of fixed size, making it difficult to adapt to network cabling projects of different scales. Once the number of optical fibers required for a project exceeds its capacity, a larger patch panel must be replaced, which undoubtedly increases costs and construction time. In the installation process, the traditional patch panel installation method is not flexible enough and it is difficult to accurately fit the walls or cabinets of different installation scenarios, causing many inconveniences for construction workers and slowing down the progress of the entire cabling project. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, both the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are provided with rectangular sliding grooves, and the two ends of the third mounting plate are provided with fixing bolts. The screws of the fixing bolts pass through the rectangular sliding grooves, and one end of the fixing bolts is provided with a locking nut. The bottom surface of the locking nut abuts against the rectangular sliding groove.
[0007] Preferably, each of the two second mounting plates has a fixed mounting plate on its opposite side, and the fixed mounting plate has mounting holes.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on one side of the first mounting plate, and a second mounting plate is slidably disposed within the limiting groove.
[0009] Preferably, limiting protrusions are symmetrically provided on the opposite surfaces of the two second mounting plates.
[0010] Preferably, a plurality of I-beam wire clamping plates are provided at equal intervals on the top surface of the sliding plate.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The sliding cooperation between the first and second mounting plates facilitates adjustment of the overall size according to different scales of cabling projects, improving adaptability and enabling the installation of different numbers of optical fibers. Furthermore, the sliding cooperation between the groove on the third mounting plate and the sliding plate facilitates flexible adjustment of the cable clamping position, improving adjustment flexibility and enabling the installation of optical fibers of different thicknesses and types. The cooperation of the fixing bolts, rectangular grooves, and locking nuts facilitates flexible fixing of the third mounting plate position, improving adjustability and enabling the adjustment of the patch panel's internal structure as needed. Relying on the second mounting plate… The combination of the mounting plate and mounting holes on the mounting plate facilitates the selection of appropriate installation methods according to different installation scenarios, improving installation convenience and enabling it to fit various walls or cabinets. The sliding engagement of the limiting groove with the second mounting plate and the setting of the limiting protrusion facilitate the stable sliding of the second mounting plate, improving positioning accuracy and ensuring stability when the second mounting plate moves. Furthermore, the equidistant setting of the I-beam cable clips on the sliding plate facilitates the orderly arrangement of optical fibers, improving the organization effect and achieving the function of neatly storing optical fibers. Ultimately, this solves the problem of fixed and inflexible adjustment of existing optical fiber patch panels, improving the efficiency and quality of network cabling. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Example: See Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses an adjustable fiber optic patch panel, comprising a first mounting plate 1, two second mounting plates 2 symmetrically slidably mounted on both sides of the first mounting plate 1, and multiple third mounting plates 3 mounted on the first mounting plate 1. Two T-shaped grooves 10 are symmetrically formed on the third mounting plates 3, and multiple sliding plates 4 are slidably mounted on the T-shaped grooves 10. The first mounting plate 1 serves as a basic component supporting other components. The symmetrically slidable second mounting plates 2 on both sides can be flexibly adjusted in position as needed, achieving scalability of the overall structure and meeting the needs of network cabling of different scales. The T-shaped grooves 10 on the third mounting plates 3 allow the sliding plates 4 to slide, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the sliding plates 4 according to the number and layout requirements of the optical fibers. This enables the orderly guidance and support of optical fibers of different numbers and distributions, improving the versatility and layout flexibility of the patch panel. Rectangular grooves 11 are formed on both the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plates 2, and fixing bolts 5 pass through both ends of the third mounting plates 3, with the screws of the fixing bolts 5 passing through the rectangular grooves 11. One end of the fixing bolt 5 is provided with a locking nut 12. The bottom surface of the locking nut 12 abuts against the rectangular slide groove 11. The rectangular slide groove 11 provides space and track for adjusting the position of the third mounting plate 3. The fixing bolt 5 and the locking nut 12 cooperate to fix the third mounting plate 3 in the required position. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the third mounting plate 3, loosen the locking nut 12, move the third mounting plate 3 to the appropriate position, and then tighten it. This is convenient and quick, and improves the adjustability of the internal layout of the patch panel and the convenience of reconfiguration. It can better adapt to different fiber optic cabling plans. The opposite sides of the two second mounting plates 2 are provided with fixing mounting plates 6. The fixing mounting plates 6 are provided with mounting holes 9. The fixing mounting plates 6 and the mounting holes 9 on them make it convenient to install the entire fiber optic patch panel in different installation positions, such as walls or cabinets. The appropriate installation method can be selected according to the actual installation environment, which enhances the installation adaptability of the patch panel and enables it to be firmly installed in various different scenarios, ensuring the stability and reliability of the patch panel installation.
[0020] In this invention, a limiting groove is formed on one side of the first mounting plate 1, and a second mounting plate 2 is slidably mounted within the limiting groove. The limiting groove provides precise guidance and limitation for the sliding of the second mounting plate 2, ensuring that the second mounting plate 2 can only slide within a predetermined direction and range. This prevents the second mounting plate 2 from shifting position during adjustment, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the jumper frame structure. It also facilitates precise control of the position of the second mounting plate 2 to meet different usage requirements. Limiting protrusions 7 are symmetrically provided on the opposite surfaces of the two second mounting plates 2. The limiting protrusions 7 further constrain the position of the second mounting plates 2, preventing them from shifting. Excessive sliding or displacement from the predetermined position enhances the stability of the second mounting plate 2 during the adjustment process, ensuring the robustness of the entire patch panel structure and preventing displacement of the second mounting plate 2 due to accidental collisions, thus ensuring the normal use of the patch panel. Multiple I-beam cable clamping plates 8 are equidistantly arranged on the top surface of the sliding plate 4. The equidistantly arranged I-beam cable clamping plates 8 provide a neat and orderly clamping position for optical fibers, making it convenient to classify and clamp different optical fibers into their corresponding positions, resulting in neat arrangement of optical fibers, easy management and maintenance, and also avoiding tangling and confusion between optical fibers, improving the efficiency and convenience of optical fiber management, and ensuring the orderly layout and clear identification of optical fibers.
[0021] Working Principle: When using this utility model, firstly, adjust the second mounting plate 2 according to the existing rack dimensions. Observe the lateral span of the rack and manually slide the second mounting plate 2 left and right to precisely fit the width of the rack, ensuring that the entire jumper frame can be placed stably on the rack, laying a solid foundation for subsequent installation. After completing this sliding adjustment, use the fixed mounting plate 6 on the back of the second mounting plate 2 to find the corresponding mounting point on the rack. Use screws or other connectors to pass through the mounting holes 9 on the fixed mounting plate 6 to firmly fix the jumper frame to the rack, providing it with stable installation support. Next, fix the third mounting plate 3 by aligning the third mounting plate 3 with the rectangular sliding grooves 11 reserved on the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2, so that the screws of the fixing bolts 5 pass through the rectangular sliding grooves 11, and initially fit the jumper frame. Next, slightly move the third mounting plate 3 and adjust it to the ideal position according to the overall cabling plan. Finally, tighten the locking nut 12 at one end of the fixing bolt 5 so that the bottom surface of the locking nut 12 is tightly against the rectangular slide groove 11 to securely lock the third mounting plate 3. When facing different numbers of optical fibers, the sliding plates 4 should be flexibly adjusted. Check the number of optical fibers to be stored and slide an appropriate number of sliding plates 4 inward or outward along the T-shaped slide groove 10 symmetrically opened on the third mounting plate 3 to expand the space capacity for placing optical fibers. After everything is ready, start to organize the optical fibers. Insert each optical fiber into the I-shaped cable clamps 8 that are equidistantly set on the top surface of the sliding plate 4. The I-shaped cable clamps 8 can then firmly clamp the optical fibers to prevent them from tangling or getting messy, thus completing the orderly storage and management of optical fibers.
