[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0022] Example: A wall-mounted Ethernet switch, see [link / reference] Figures 1 to 5 The switch includes a main body 1, a placement plate 5 on the lower surface of the main body 1, a fixed plate 2 movably connected to one end of the placement plate 5, and a connecting block 3 fixing the fixed plate 2 and the placement plate 5. A limit frame 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the placement plate 5. A support block 501 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the placement plate 5. An arc-shaped slide rail 502 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the placement plate 5. A sliding plate 503 is movably connected inside the arc-shaped slide rail 502. Fixed shafts 504 are fixedly connected to both ends of the sliding plate 503. Rollers 505 are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer surface of the fixed shafts 504. A support plate 506 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 503. The ends are connected to the upper and lower sides of the front surface of the upper end of the fixed plate 2 via connecting lines, and the end of the sliding plate 503 away from the arc-shaped slide rail 502 is a flexible connecting line; this utility model, by setting up the arc-shaped slide rail 502, the sliding plate 503 and the support plate 506, first removes the connecting block 3 before adjusting the use angle of the switch body 1 and adjusts the use angle of the placement plate 5 to be horizontal with the wall. During this process, the two ends of the sliding plate 503 are controlled to roll inside the arc-shaped slide rail 502 by the rollers 505 by pulling the connecting line, and the support plate 506 is controlled to move to be perpendicular to the wall to provide support for the switch to be placed later, which facilitates the adjustment of the use angle of the switch.

[0023] Specifically, the inner wall of the arc-shaped slide rail 502 is provided with a moving groove that matches the roller 505, and the inner wall of the moving groove is provided with a wire groove 5021 that matches the inelastic connecting wire; the moving groove on the inner wall of the arc-shaped slide rail 502 limits the moving trajectory of the roller 505, and under the pull of the connecting wire, the support plate 506 is perpendicular to the wall to provide support for the switch body 1.

[0024] Furthermore, the opposite surfaces of the fixing plate 2 and the connecting block 3 are provided with slots that match the two ends of the connecting block 3; the horizontal placement plate 5 is fixed by snapping the connecting block 3 into the slots.

[0025] Furthermore, the fixing plate 2 is fixed to the wall with bolts, and the opposite surfaces of the placement plate 5 and the fixing plate 2 are movably connected by a connecting shaft. The rotation trajectory of the support block 501 with the connecting shaft as the center is tangent to the outer surface of the placement plate 5. After the placement plate 5 rotates, the support block 501 contacts the outer surface of the fixing plate 2, providing support for the placement plate 5 and keeping the placement plate 5 horizontal with the wall.

[0026] It is worth noting that the front surface of the support plate 506 has an opening that matches the front interface of the switch body 1; the opening on the front surface of the support plate 506 is used to expose the front interface of the switch body 1.

[0027] It is worth noting that the maximum diameter of the inner wall moving groove of the slide plate 503 is equal to the length of the slide plate 503; this allows both ends of the slide plate 503 to move into the arc-shaped slide rail 502, and keeps the slide plate 503 and the support plate 506 perpendicular to the front.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that one end of the placement plate 5 connected to the arc-shaped slide rail 502 is provided with an internal moving groove connected to the arc-shaped slide rail 502, and the placement groove is of the same size. The maximum width of the support plate 506 matches the inner diameter of the arc-shaped slide rail 502. The placement groove at one end of the placement plate 5 is used to place the slide plate 503 while restricting its movement trajectory. The support plate 506, which is connected to the internal moving groove of the arc-shaped slide rail 502 and has a width matching the inner diameter of the arc-shaped slide rail 502, avoids interference from the inner wall of the arc-shaped slide rail 502 during rotation.

[0029] Working principle: When adjusting the wall-mounting angle of the switch body 1, first remove the switch and remove the connecting block 3 to adjust the angle of the placement plate 5. During the process of rotating the placement plate 5 to be horizontal with the wall, one end of the sliding plate 503 is pulled by the inelastic connecting wire and moves in an arc along the moving groove inside the arc-shaped slide rail 502 until the other end of the sliding plate 503 just enters the interior of the arc-shaped slide rail 502. At this time, the support plate 506 is perpendicular to the wall under the action of the sliding plate 503. Then, the switch is placed between the limiting frame 4 and the placement plate 5 so that its front surface contacts the support plate 506, so that the switch body 1 can be used at a vertical angle, avoiding the bending of the connecting wire due to inconvenience of the angle, and facilitating the adjustment of the switch's operating angle.

[0030] The embodiments disclosed herein are preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
