Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of encoder technology, specifically a 3U rack-mounted 16-channel encoder port protection plug-in structure. Background Technology
[0002] The 3U rack-mount 16-channel encoder is an electronic device integrating multiple signal processing functions, widely used in industrial automation, audio and video signal processing, data acquisition, and communication systems. Its design conforms to the 3U rack standard, meaning the device occupies a height of 3U (approximately 133.35 mm) within the rack, enabling high-density device layouts in limited spaces. This rack-mount design not only improves equipment management efficiency but also facilitates maintenance and expansion, making it suitable for the needs of modern data centers and server rooms.
[0003] A 3U rack-mount 16-channel encoder typically features 16 independent encoder ports, each capable of connecting to a different signal source. This multi-input design allows users to process multiple signals simultaneously, achieving efficient data acquisition and processing. However, in practice, because these encoder ports employ a plug-and-play structure, the connectors can easily detach from the encoder ports when the wires are subjected to external force, leading to poor contact and signal transmission interference. This not only affects transmission quality but can also cause equipment malfunctions, severely reducing the overall performance and reliability of the system.
[0004] Therefore, in order to address the risks faced by encoder ports during insertion and removal, we propose a 3U rack-mount 16-channel encoder port protection insertion and removal structure to prevent damage and signal interruption caused by external influences, ensuring normal operation of the equipment and stability of signal transmission. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a 3U rack-mounted 16-channel encoder port protection plug-in structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] The 3U rack-mounted 16-channel encoder port protection plug-in structure includes a 3U rack to provide a mounting framework for the equipment, ensuring structural stability and space utilization. The 3U rack houses a 16-channel encoder as the core signal processing module, enabling multi-channel signal input and output. The 16-channel encoder has an audio input port, an HDMI input port, an HDMI loop-out port, and a network port, used for connecting audio, HDMI signals, and network connections, respectively. The front top of the 3U rack is detachably connected to multiple equidistantly arranged plug-in protection components, which are used to centrally fix and protect the wires of each port, reducing the risk of external interference.
[0008] The number of plug-in protection components can be selected as needed. Each plug-in protection component includes a vertical plate as a support base, connecting the 3U frame and the wire clamping vertical plate. The front end of the bottom of the vertical plate is detachably connected to the wire clamping vertical plate, which is used to clamp the wire and prevent it from coming off the port. The wire clamping vertical plate is designed to be detachable. If two adjacent plug-in protection components are close to each other, the clamping bolt may not be able to be turned by a screwdriver. In this case, the second bolt can be removed first, and then the wire clamping vertical plate can be rotated or moved to expose the clamping bolt, so that the operator can remove the wire.
[0009] The front side of the clamping plate has four clamping slots, each adapted to an audio cable, an HDMI input cable, an HDMI loop-out cable, and a network cable, respectively. The right side of the clamping plate has four cable guide slots, each adapted to one of the clamping slots, facilitating the sliding of the cable into the clamping slots. The front side of the clamping plate also has four sliding grooves, each adapted to one of the clamping slots, providing a sliding path for rectangular sliders to accommodate different cable diameters. Rectangular sliders are slidably connected within each of the four sliding grooves, and clamping bolts push the rectangular sliders to clamp the cable. The left side of the clamping plate has four threaded holes for fixing the clamping bolts, allowing for adjustable clamping force. Each of the four threaded holes is threaded with a clamping bolt, and rotation controls the clamping distance of the rectangular sliders. The right ends of the four clamping bolts are rotatably connected to the left sides of the four rectangular sliders.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the 3U frame and near the front side are provided with a plurality of equidistant first threaded grooves for fixing the longitudinal plate and enhancing overall stability. The top of the longitudinal plate and near the rear end are provided with mounting holes a, and the mounting holes a are connected to first bolts. The first bolts are threaded into the first threaded grooves, and the longitudinal plate and the 3U frame are fastened through the threaded connection.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the 3U rack has multiple rectangular slots arranged at equal intervals to provide a positioning reference for the insertion of the longitudinal plate. The bottom of the longitudinal plate and near the rear end has a rectangular insert block, which is inserted into the rectangular slot and cooperates with the rectangular slot to prevent the longitudinal plate from shifting back and forth.
[0012] Preferably, a mounting hole b is provided at the top of the vertical plate near the front end for inserting a second bolt to fix the pressure plate. The mounting hole b is connected to the second bolt. A second threaded groove is provided in the middle of the top of the pressure plate for threaded connection of the second bolt, ensuring a reliable connection between the pressure plate and the vertical plate.
[0013] Preferably, the top of the pressure plate has two positioning protrusions arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and the bottom of the vertical plate has a positioning groove for the positioning protrusions to be inserted into, so as to avoid the pressure plate being misaligned during installation.
[0014] Preferably, the upper half of the right side of the rectangular slider is provided with a triangular anti-detachment block. The top of the triangular anti-detachment block is in contact with the top of the inner wall of the groove, which effectively prevents the wire from moving upward in the pressure groove, thereby preventing the wire from shifting after being pressed.
[0015] Preferably, a first rubber pad is provided on the lower right side of the rectangular slider, and a second rubber pad is provided on the oblique surface of the triangular anti-detachment block, which provides buffering and friction when in contact with the wire to prevent wear on the surface of the wire.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. The 3U rack-mount 16-channel encoder port protection plug-in structure, through the coordinated action of the wire clamping groove, rectangular slider and clamping bolt, can stably fix the audio, HDMI and network cables and other wires to the wire clamping plate, to prevent the plug terminals from coming off due to pulling, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of signal transmission.
[0018] 2. The 3U rack-mount 16-channel encoder port protection plug-in structure adopts a split plug-in protection component design for the densely arranged 16-channel encoder ports. Each port has an independent wire clamping groove, sliding groove and rectangular slider, which can adjust the clamping force individually and adapt to different wire diameters to avoid mutual interference between multiple signals.
[0019] 3. The 3U rack-mount 16-channel encoder features a port protection plug-in structure with a detachable connection between the wire clamping vertical plate and the longitudinal plate. When the space between adjacent components is narrow, the wire clamping vertical plate can be quickly disassembled and adjusted, making it easier for staff to operate the clamping bolts to replace the wires, thus significantly improving maintenance efficiency.
[0020] 4. The 3U rack-mount 16-channel encoder port protection plug-in structure allows the number of plug-in protection components to be flexibly increased or decreased according to actual needs. Combined with the rectangular slot and first threaded groove of the 3U rack, it enables rapid installation and expansion, meeting the protection needs of different scenarios.

The 16-channel encoder 3 is equipped with an audio input port 30, an HDMI input port 31, an HDMI loop-out port 32, and a network port 33, which are used to connect audio, HDMI signals, and network connections, respectively. The front top of the 3U rack 1 is detachably connected to multiple equally spaced plug-in protection components 2, which are used to centrally fix and protect the wires of each port, reducing the risk of external interference.
[0032] The number of plug-in protection components 2 can be selected as needed. The plug-in protection component 2 includes a vertical plate 20, which serves as a support base and connects the 3U frame 1 to the wire clamping vertical plate 22. The front end of the bottom of the vertical plate 20 is detachably connected to the wire clamping vertical plate 22, which is used to clamp the wire and prevent it from coming off the port. The wire clamping vertical plate 22 is designed to be detachable. If two adjacent plug-in protection components 2 are close to each other, the clamping bolt 25 may not be able to be turned by a screwdriver. At this time, the second bolt 23 can be removed first, and then the wire clamping vertical plate 22 can be rotated or moved to expose the clamping bolt 25, so that the operator can remove the wire.
[0033] The front of the cable clamping plate 22 has four cable clamping slots 220, which are respectively adapted to audio cables, HDMI input cables, HDMI loop-out cables, and network cables. The right side of the cable clamping plate 22 has four cable guide slots 221, which are adapted to the four cable clamping slots 220 to facilitate the sliding of cables into the cable clamping slots 220. The front of the cable clamping plate 22 also has four sliding grooves 222, which are adapted to the four cable clamping slots 220 to provide sliding space for the rectangular slider 24.

The rectangular sliders 24 are pushed by the clamping bolts 25 to clamp the wire. The left side of the wire clamping plate 22 has four threaded holes 223 for fixing the clamping bolts 25, so as to realize the adjustable clamping force. Each of the four threaded holes 223 is threaded with a clamping bolt 25. The clamping distance of the rectangular sliders 24 is controlled by rotation. The right ends of the four clamping bolts 25 are respectively rotatably connected to the left side of the four rectangular sliders 24.
[0034] In this embodiment, a plurality of equally spaced first threaded grooves 11 are provided on the top of the 3U frame 1 near the front side for fixing the longitudinal plate 20 and enhancing overall stability. A mounting hole a200 is provided on the top of the longitudinal plate 20 near the rear end. A first bolt 21 is connected to the mounting hole a200. The first bolt 21 is threaded into the first threaded groove 11, and the longitudinal plate 20 is fastened to the 3U frame 1 through the threaded connection.
[0035] Specifically, the top of the 3U rack 1 has multiple rectangular slots 10 arranged at equal intervals to provide a positioning reference for the insertion of the vertical plate 20. The bottom of the vertical plate 20 and near the rear end is provided with a rectangular plug 201. The rectangular plug 201 is inserted into the rectangular slot 10 and cooperates with the rectangular slot 10 to prevent the vertical plate 20 from shifting back and forth.
[0036] Furthermore, a mounting hole b202 is provided at the top of the vertical plate 20 near the front end for inserting a second bolt 23 to fix the pressure plate 22. The mounting hole b202 is connected to the second bolt 23. A second threaded groove 224 is provided in the middle of the top of the pressure plate 22 for threaded connection of the second bolt 23, ensuring a reliable connection between the pressure plate 22 and the vertical plate 20.
[0037] Furthermore, the top of the pressure plate 22 is provided with two positioning protrusions 225 arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and the bottom of the vertical plate 20 is provided with a positioning groove 203 for the positioning protrusions 225 to be inserted into, so as to prevent the pressure plate 22 from being misaligned during installation.
[0038] Furthermore, a triangular anti-detachment block 240 is provided on the upper half of the right side of the rectangular slider 24. The top of the triangular anti-detachment block 240 fits against the top of the inner wall of the groove 222, effectively preventing the wire from moving upward in the wire pressing groove 220, thereby preventing the wire from shifting after being pressed.
[0039] Furthermore, a first rubber pad 241 is provided on the lower right side of the rectangular slider 24, and a second rubber pad 242 is provided on the oblique surface of the triangular anti-detachment block 240, which provides buffering and friction when in contact with the wire to prevent wear on the surface of the wire.
[0040] In this embodiment, the 3U rack-mounted 16-channel encoder port protection plug-in structure is used by first inserting the plug-in protection component 2 into the rectangular slot 10 at the top of the 3U rack 1 through the rectangular plug 201 at the bottom of the vertical plate 20. After initial positioning, the first bolt 21 is passed through the mounting hole a200 of the vertical plate 20 and screwed into the first threaded groove 11 of the 3U rack 1 to complete the fixation of the vertical plate 20 to the 3U rack 1. Then, the positioning protrusion 225 at the top of the wire pressing vertical plate 22 is aligned with the positioning groove 203 at the bottom of the vertical plate 20 and inserted. The second bolt 23 is passed through the mounting hole b202 of the vertical plate 20 and screwed into the wire pressing vertical plate. The second threaded groove 224 of plate 22 ensures a reliable connection between the wire pressing vertical plate 22 and the longitudinal plate 20. After the wire slides into the corresponding wire pressing groove 220 through the wire passage groove 221 on the right side of the wire pressing vertical plate 22, the clamping bolt 25 is rotated to push the rectangular slider 24 to move along the slide groove 222. The first rubber pad 241 and the second rubber pad 242 on the rectangular slider 24 are used to clamp the wire. When it is necessary to maintain or replace the wire, the second bolt 23 is removed and the position of the wire pressing vertical plate 22 is adjusted so that the clamping bolt 25 is exposed for operation. After completion, the wire pressing vertical plate 22 is fixed again to ensure that the wires at each port are stably connected and the protective structure is reliable.
