Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment, and more specifically, to a general modular structure and cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] In electrical equipment structures, various functional electronic circuit modules are typically integrated inside the cabinet. The cabinet has separate installation areas and fixing structures for different modules so that each module can be disassembled and maintained independently. To improve the convenience of module installation and maintenance, the external structure of different modules and the corresponding installation areas and structures inside the cabinet can be unified so that the installation and positional relationships of various modules are interchangeable and universal.

[0003] In existing electrical equipment, the general modular structure inside the cabinet is assembled and disassembled using fasteners such as screws and clips. When assembling and disassembling the general modular structure, the lack of corresponding limiting and restraining structures makes the general module very easy to collide and scratch with the inside of the cabinet, thereby damaging the paint surface of the cabinet and / or the general module. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a universal modular structure that can reduce collision and contact with the interior of the enclosure during disassembly and assembly, as well as a cabinet having the aforementioned universal modular structure.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:

[0006] On the one hand, this utility model provides a universal modular structure that is installed inside a cabinet. The universal modular structure includes a module body and two sets of plug-in connectors located on both sides of the pull-out end of the module body.

[0007] The plug-in device has a first end and a second end. The first end of the plug-in device has a handle, and the second end is provided with a wheel. The handle is used to manually insert / remove the module body into / from the cabinet. The wheel protrudes from the side of the module body so that when the module body is inserted / removed from the cabinet, the wheel makes rolling contact with the inside of the cabinet.

[0008] Furthermore, the portion between the two ends of the plug-in is rotatably connected to the module body, so that the two ends of the plug-in can fit against the end face of the plug-out end of the module body.

[0009] Furthermore, the module body has four sets of sides: a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, and the four sets of sides are located between the pull-out end of the module body and the bottom end opposite to the pull-out end; the first side and the second side are opposite to each other, and the third side and the fourth side are opposite to each other, wherein one set of the rotating wheels protrudes from the first side and the other set of the rotating wheels protrudes from the second side;

[0010] The first and second sides are also provided with locking strips for abutting against the inside of the cabinet.

[0011] Furthermore, heat dissipation fins are also provided on the third and fourth sides of the module body.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking bar includes a movable block and a fixed block disposed opposite to each other. The fixed block is fixed to the module body, and the movable block is reciprocally connected to the module body relative to the fixed block.

[0013] The moving block and the fixed block each have a wedge-shaped surface on their opposing surfaces. Several trapezoidal blocks are linearly arranged between the moving block and the fixed block. The trapezoidal blocks are movably disposed within the locking strip perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving block. The waist surfaces of any adjacent trapezoidal blocks abut each other and the upper and lower bottom surfaces are in opposite directions, so that one or more trapezoidal blocks can be moved by the moving block and placed against the inside of the housing.

[0014] Furthermore, the locking bar is provided with a set of fasteners that abut against the moving block, so that by screwing in / out the fasteners, the moving block can move forward / backward relative to the fixed block.

[0015] Furthermore, the handle has a friction texture.

[0016] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a cabinet in which the aforementioned general modular structure is installed.

[0017] Furthermore, the cabinet also includes module mounting brackets located outside the first and second sides of the general module. The locking strip abuts against the module mounting brackets to limit the shaking of the module body.

[0018] Furthermore, the module mounting bracket is also provided with a limiting part, and when the plug-in device is attached to the pull-out end of the module body, the limiting part is located directly above the pull-out direction of the rotating wheel.

[0019] The universal modular structure and cabinet of this utility model have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] Firstly, for the general modular structure, plug-in devices are provided on both sides of the pull-out end of the module body. The plug-in devices have rotating wheels protruding from the side of the module body. During the disassembly and assembly of the module body, the module body can be lifted / lowered by holding the handles at the ends of the two sets of plug-in devices with both hands. At the same time, even if the module body is tilted during the lifting / lowering process, the rotating wheels at the ends of the plug-in devices can make contact with the inside of the cabinet, which can avoid collision and scratches between the module body and the inside of the cabinet. Therefore, the above-mentioned general modular structure and cabinet greatly improve the convenience of electrical equipment maintenance. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3The present invention provides a general module structure 2, which includes a module body 20. The module body 20 has an outer shell structure and a number of electronic components are modularly installed inside. The outer shell of the module body 20 is cuboid in shape. The module body 20 has a pull-out end 200 and an insertion end. There are four sets of side surfaces between the pull-out end 200 and the insertion end, namely a first side surface 201 and a second side surface, and a third side surface 202 and a fourth side surface, wherein the area of ​​the third side surface 202 and the fourth side surface is much larger than the area of ​​the first side surface 201 and the second side surface.

[0027] Among them, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Heat dissipation fins are integrally formed on the third side 202 and the fourth side of the module body 20 to facilitate rapid heat exchange between the module body 20 and the external environment.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 The module body 20 has two sets of plug-in devices 21 on both sides of the pull-out end 200, and the two sets of plug-in devices 21 are respectively close to the first side 201 and the second side of the module body 20.

[0029] In the direction of the first side 201 and the second side of the connecting module body 20, each set of plug-in pins 21 is defined to have a first end and a second end, wherein, referring to Figure 2 The first end of the plug-in device 21 has a handle 210 and the second end has a rotating wheel 211.

[0030] The function of the handle 210 is to allow the module body 20 to be inserted into or pulled out of the cabinet 1 by holding one set of handles 210 with both hands. During the insertion and removal of the module body 20 from the cabinet 1, the rotating wheel 211 at the second end of the plug-in device 21 protrudes from the first side 201 / second side of the module body 20. The rotating wheel 211 can roll and make contact with the inside of the cabinet 1, providing guidance and anti-collision for the insertion and removal of the module body 20, and reducing the collision between the module body 20 and the inside of the cabinet 1.

[0031] In one embodiment, the plug-in 21 is fixedly connected to the module body 20.

[0032] Optionally, the handle 210 has a friction texture 213.

[0033] In this embodiment, in each set of plug-in devices 21, the portion located between the two ends of the plug-in device 21 is rotatably connected to the module body 20, i.e., as shown in the reference... Figure 2The plug-in / pluggage device 21 has a connecting portion 212 between its two ends. The connecting portion 212 is fixed to the module body 20 by a set of pins. Therefore, the two ends of the plug-in / pluggage device 21 can rotate around the connecting portion 212. Correspondingly, the two ends of the plug-in / pluggage device 21 can be in contact with the end face of the pull-out end 200. Of the two sets of rotating wheels 211 of the plug-in / pluggage device 21, one set of rotating wheels 211 protrudes from the first side 201 and the other set of rotating wheels 211 protrudes from the second side. When the two ends of the plug-in / pluggage device 21 are in contact with the pull-out end 200, the two sets of rotating wheels 211 respectively abut against the first side of the module body 20. The inner wall of the cabinet 1 on the outer side 201 and the inner wall of the cabinet 1 on the outer side of the second side of the module body 20; when it is necessary to insert / remove the module body 20 into / out of the cabinet 1, hold the handle 210 of the plug-in device 21 upwards with your hand, and the patent 211 at the other end of the plug-in device 21 rotates downwards around the connecting part 212, so that the rotating wheel 211 disengages from the cabinet 1, and the module body 20 can be easily inserted / removed from the cabinet 1. During the process, the rotating wheel 211 always protrudes from the first side 201 and the second side of the module body 20, providing a guiding and anti-collision function for the insertion and removal of the module body 20.

[0034] In addition, in one embodiment, the first side 201 and the second side of the module body 20 are provided with locking strips 22 for abutting against the inside of the cabinet 1.

[0035] As a feasible solution, refer to Figure 3 The locking bar 22 includes a movable block 221 and a fixed block 220 arranged vertically opposite each other. The fixed block 220 is fixed below the first side 201 / second side of the module body 20. The movable block 221 is reciprocally connected to the module body 20 relative to the fixed block 220, that is, the movable block 221 is slidably mounted above the first side 201 / second side of the module body 20; wherein, referring to Figure 3 Both the moving block 221 and the fixed block 220 have wedge-shaped surfaces on their opposing surfaces. Several trapezoidal blocks 223 are linearly arranged between the moving block 221 and the fixed block 220. The trapezoidal blocks 223 are movably disposed within the locking strip 22 perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving block 221. That is, the trapezoidal blocks 223 can move along the normal direction of the first side 201 / third side, or the trapezoidal blocks 223 can move along the normal direction of the third side 202 / fourth side. The waist surfaces 224 of any adjacent trapezoidal blocks 223 abut against each other, and the upper and lower bottom surfaces of adjacent trapezoidal blocks 223 are in opposite directions. By pushing the moving block 221 toward the fixed block 220, any two adjacent trapezoidal blocks 223 can move in opposite directions and rest against the inside of the housing 1.

[0036] Therefore, optionally, in one embodiment, in each set of locking bars 22, the trapezoidal block 223 can move along the normal direction of the first side 201 / second side; thus, at this time, in any two adjacent sets of trapezoidal blocks 223, one set abuts against the first side 201 / second side, and the other set abuts against the inside of the cabinet 1, which can realize the reinforced fixation of the module body 20 in the direction of the line connecting the first side 201 and the third side with the inside of the cabinet 1.

[0037] Alternatively, in another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, in each set of locking bars 22, the trapezoidal block 223 can move along the normal direction of the third side 202 / fourth side. Therefore, a positioning bar 23 located next to the locking bar 22 is provided on the first side 201 / second side, and another set of positioning bars (not shown) is provided inside the cabinet 1. The locking bar 22 is located between the positioning bar 23 on the first side 201 / second side and the positioning bar inside the cabinet 1. Any two adjacent sets of trapezoidal blocks 223 in the locking bar 22 abut against one of the aforementioned positioning bars, so that the module body 20 and the cabinet 1 can be fixed in the direction of the line connecting the third side 202 and the fourth side of the module body 20.

[0038] In the above embodiments, the locking bar 22 is provided with a set of fasteners 222 that abut against the moving block 221. The fasteners 222 are threadedly connected to the module body 20. By screwing in / out the fasteners 222, the moving block 221 moves forward / backward relative to the fixed block 220, thereby realizing the squeezing effect of the trapezoidal block 223 and achieving locking with the inner wall of the cabinet 1.

[0039] In addition, this utility model also provides a cabinet 1, in which the aforementioned general module structure 2 is installed.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 The cabinet 1 includes a box structure consisting of six sets of cover plates 10. One set of cover plates 10 integrates a cooling fan 100. The extension direction of the heat dissipation fins on the module body 20 should be parallel to the air outlet direction of the cooling fan 100 to facilitate ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 In addition, the cabinet 1 also includes two sets of module mounting brackets 11 located inside the enclosure structure formed by six sets of cover plates 10. The two sets of module mounting brackets 11 are located on the first side 201 and the second side outside of the general module 20, respectively. The locking strip 22 abuts against the module mounting bracket 11 to limit the shaking of the module body 20.

[0042] Optionally, the module mounting bracket 11 is also provided with a limiting part 110. When the plug-in device 21 is attached to the pull-out end 200 of the module body 20, the limiting part 110 is located directly above the pull-out direction of the rotating wheel 211. When in use, the handle 210 of the plug-in device 21 is used to rotate the reference wheel 211 downward, so that the rotating wheel 211 is offset from directly below the limiting part 110, which makes it easier to pull out / insert the module body 20 into the cabinet 1.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
