[0021] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0024] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 The module box patch panel shown includes a pair of symmetrical front extension frames 2. The two front extension frames 2 are parallel to each other and are fixedly connected to the module box 1. As the main part for realizing cable connection, the front extension frame 2 includes a front side plate 203 fixedly connected to the side of the module box 1. The two front side plates 203 are located on the symmetrical sides of the module box 1. The bottom of the front side plate 203 has a front support plate 204 fixedly contacting the bottom of the module box 1. The two front support plates 204 are respectively close to the left and right sides of the front side plate 203.

[0026] Both front extension frames 2 are rotatably connected to the same movable baffle 5 via a hinge structure 201. The movable baffle 5 can rotate to the vertical and horizontal directions. When rotated to the vertical direction, the movable baffle 5 can completely cover the front open end of the module box patch panel, which can play a good role in dust prevention and barrier. When rotated to the horizontal direction, the front end of the module box patch panel will be fully open, which can facilitate the observation and insertion of cables. The rear ends of both front extension frames 2 are fixedly connected to the same cable tray 4 via a rear extension frame 3, which is used to provide support for cables extending to the rear of the module box patch panel. The rear extension frame 3 includes a rear side plate 301 fixedly connected to the outer side of the front side plate 203. The rear side plate 301 is parallel to the front side plate 203 and both are straight. The bottom of the rear side plate 301 has a rear support plate 302 fixedly connected to the end of the cable tray 4, which can maintain the stability of the cable tray 4.

[0027] The module box 1 has several terminals 102 on the side facing the movable baffle 5, which can be quickly plugged into the end of the cable. The module box 1 also has several terminals 102 on the side facing the cable tray 4, which can be plugged into the end of the opposite cable. The module box 1 is located between the cable tray 4 and the movable baffle 5, in the center of the entire wiring rack. Several cable trays 101 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the module box 1. The cable can be attached to the cable trays 101. In order to facilitate the contact of the cable, the end of the cable tray 101 extends beyond the terminal 102, that is, it is located between the cable tray 4 or the movable baffle 5 and the terminal 102. In this way, the cable can pass through the space between the end of the cable tray 101 and the cable tray 4 or the movable baffle 5. The rear side of the cable tray 4 protrudes from the rear end of the rear extension frame 3. Therefore, the rear edge of the cable tray 4 rests on the platform behind the distribution box frame and is limited by the rear end of the extension frame 3.

[0028] The front extension frame 2 is also fixedly connected to a magnetic plate 202, which is used to hold the movable baffle 5. The movable baffle 5 is held vertically. Since the attraction force is limited, the movable baffle 5 can be moved away from the vertical direction very quickly. A buffer pad 502 is provided on the side of the movable baffle 5 away from the hinge structure 201. The buffer pad 502 is made of rubber or silicone and is used to make direct contact with the magnetic plate 202. This can effectively avoid scratches and impact noise caused by hard contact. The movable baffle 5 has an exhaust hole 501 outside the buffer pad 502. When the movable baffle 501 is in the vertical state and the module box wiring frame is closed, the exchange of internal and external air is allowed.

[0029] A bridging frame 6 is provided on the outer side of the front panel 203 to fix the entire module box wiring frame. The bridging frame 6 includes an anti-rotation plate 601 fixedly connected to the front panel 203 to ensure the stability of the bridging frame 6 relative to the front extension frame 2. The anti-rotation plate 601 has at least two adjusting grooves 602 for bolts to pass through. Since the connection position of the bolts to the front panel 203 is fixed, and the bolts can slide relative to the adjusting grooves 602, the position of the bridging frame 6 relative to the front extension frame 2 can be adjusted within a certain range. The front end of the anti-rotation plate 601 also has a connecting plate 603, and the extension direction of the connecting plate 603 is the same as that of the anti-rotation plate 601. The extension direction of 1 is perpendicular. The connecting plate 603 has a rounded through hole 604, which is also used for bolts to pass through and fix to the distribution box frame. The rounded through hole 604 also has a certain length, so the bridge frame 6 can be adapted to the installation position on the distribution box frame within a certain range. The outer side of the front plate 203 is provided with a handle 7. The handle 7 is located in front of the bridge frame 6. The handle 7 includes a cantilever 701 fixedly connected to the outer side of the front plate 203. The cantilever 701 moves forward and gradually away from the outer side of the front plate 203. The front end of the cantilever 701 has a finger sleeve 702, which can be inserted into the finger to facilitate pulling the entire module wiring frame out of the distribution box frame.

[0030] Working principle: First, install the wiring rack of the module box. Insert the end of the rear extension plate 3 into the distribution cabinet. Let the rear edge of the cable tray 4 rest on the boss structure at the rear of the frame. Then, use bolts to fix the connecting plate 603 to the distribution box frame. Then, flip up the movable baffle 5 to move it away from the magnetic plate 202, so that it can be connected to the front terminal 102. After the connection is completed, the cable can be supported on the cable handle 101, and the cable connected to the rear terminal 102 can be rested on the cable tray 4. After the cable is connected, lift the movable baffle 5 upward. The steel movable baffle 5 will be automatically attracted and kept vertical.

[0031] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application have been described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this application. Various changes and modifications can be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection claimed by this application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
