Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network switch repair technology, specifically a flip device for testing network switches. Background Technology
[0002] There are two types of switches: wide area network (WAN) switches and local area network (LAN) switches. WAN switches are mainly used in the telecommunications field to provide a basic communication platform, while LAN switches are used in local area networks to connect terminal devices such as PCs and network printers. When testing a network switch, the switch casing needs to be flipped to facilitate testing of the interfaces in different locations on the switch.
[0003] A repair and flipping device for network switches, with publication number CN222244702U, specifically relates to the field of network switch repair technology. It includes a repair platform and support legs. Clamping and flipping components are provided on both sides of the top of the repair platform. Each flipping component includes a frame, a positioning platform, a screw sleeve, and a lead screw. Frames are installed on both sides of the top of the repair platform, and a positioning platform is installed at the top of each frame. A screw sleeve is installed inside the positioning platform, and a lead screw is installed inside the screw sleeve. Two sets of clamping plates are symmetrically distributed. Rotating the lead screw engages with the screw sleeve, pushing the clamping plates closer together. The two sets of clamping plates then clamp the switch housing to the outside. Loosening the fixing bolt at the top of the clamping platform releases the fixing to the connecting block, allowing the clamping platform to engage with the connecting block, and the switch clamped on the inside can be flipped. This achieves the clamping and flipping capability of the repair device for the switch.
[0004] However, the following problems still exist in actual use: When performing a flip test on the switch housing after fixing it, clamps are usually used for clamping and fixing. The existing simple clamps that clamp the top and bottom of the switch housing are not easy to keep the force applied by the clamps even. Moreover, after the switch housing is flipped 90 degrees, the clamps are affected by the drop in the weight of the switch housing, making it difficult to maintain a stable clamp on the switch housing. This causes trouble for subsequent testing and reduces the maintenance efficiency of the network switch.
[0005] Therefore, a flip device for testing network switches is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flipping device for testing network switches, in order to solve the problems of existing simple clamps that clamp the top and bottom of the switch housing, which are not convenient for maintaining uniform force on the clamps, and are difficult to maintain stable clamping of the switch housing after it is flipped 90 degrees, causing trouble for subsequent testing.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a flip device for testing network switches, comprising a base plate and two side plates symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, wherein inclined plates are fixedly connected to the bottom sides of the side plates and the base plate;
[0008] Also includes:
[0009] A movable plate is slidably mounted on one side of the side plate, a flipping assembly is provided on the other side of the side plate, and a clamping assembly is provided on the side of the movable plate away from the side plate.
[0010] The flipping assembly includes a rotating component rotatably mounted inside the upper part of the side plate, and the rotating component is internally threaded with a screw rod, which is rotatably connected to the moving plate.
[0011] The clamping assembly includes a support plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate, a lower rod installed between the two support plates, a pressure plate slidably installed on the upper part of the side of the movable plate away from the side plate, and auxiliary plates slidably installed on both the front and back sides of the movable plate.
[0012] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the upper part of the side plate away from the moving plate, a servo motor is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing frame, a main gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, an external gear ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating part, and the main gear meshes with the external gear ring.
[0013] Preferably, there are at least two limiting rods fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate near the side plate, and the limiting rods are slidably connected to the rotating component. The side of the movable plate near the side plate is also symmetrically connected with rotating rods at the top and bottom.
[0014] Preferably, a horizontal bar is fixedly connected between the two middle inclined plates, and two sliding plates are slidably connected to the outer side of the horizontal bar. A collar is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate. The collar is located between the side plate and the moving plate. An annular groove is formed on the side of the collar near the moving plate, and the rotating rod is slidably connected to the annular groove.
[0015] Preferably, the lower rod is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate, and the lower rod is slidably connected to the other side of the support plate. A spring is sleeved on the outer side of the lower rod, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the two side support plates respectively. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper part of the side of the movable plate away from the side plate.
[0016] Preferably, the fixed plate is internally threaded with a lead screw, the bottom end of which is rotatably connected to a pressure plate. The pressure plate is in contact with the moving plate. The moving plate is internally rotatably connected with a double-ended lead screw, and the outer sides of the double-ended lead screw are symmetrically threaded with sliding plates. The two sliding plates are laterally fixedly connected to the same auxiliary plate.
[0017] Preferably, an outer ring plate is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the base plate, and a suction cup is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer ring plate.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a flipping component and a clamping component, two moving plates clamp the left and right sides of the switch housing, two auxiliary plates clamp the front and rear sides of the switch housing, and a pressure plate limits the top of the switch. By clamping and fixing all sides of the switch, it is easy to apply force evenly when clamping the switch, reducing loosening or displacement during subsequent testing. The flipping component allows the switch housing to be flipped to different angles for testing different interfaces. The specific details are as follows:
[0019] By setting up a flipping component, the operator first clamps and fixes the switch housing using the clamping component, and then performs testing on the switch. When it is necessary to flip and adjust the angle, the operator starts the servo motor. The servo motor drives the main gear to rotate, the main gear drives the outer gear ring to rotate, the outer gear ring drives the rotating component to rotate, and the rotating component drives the limit rod and the moving plate to rotate, thereby allowing the switch housing to be flipped and adjusted, making it easy to flip to different angles to test different interfaces. At the same time, the rotation of the moving plate drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod slides inside the annular groove, and the collar provides auxiliary support for the moving plate, maintaining the stable positioning of the switch housing.
[0020] By setting up the clamping assembly, the operator places the switch housing on top of the support plate and then rotates the screws on both sides simultaneously. At this time, the servo motor does not rotate, and the main gear, external gear ring, and rotating parts do not rotate. The limit rod is slidably connected to the rotating parts. The rotation of the screws causes the moving plate to move. The moving plate drives the collar to move through the rotating rod. The collar drives the sliding plate to slide on the outside of the crossbar. The moving plates on both sides move closer to each other, and the moving plates drive the support plate to move. The two support plates move closer to each other and compress the spring until the two moving plates clamp the left and right sides of the switch housing. Then the operator rotates the double-ended lead screw. The rotation of the double-ended lead screw drives the sliding plate to move. The sliding plate drives the auxiliary plate to move. The front and rear auxiliary plates move closer to each other, so that the two auxiliary plates clamp the front and rear sides of the switch housing. Then the lead screw is rotated, and the pressure plate fits with the moving plate. The rotation of the lead screw drives the pressure plate to press down, so that the pressure plate limits the top of the switch. By clamping and fixing all sides of the switch, it is easy to apply force evenly when clamping the switch, reducing loosening or displacement during subsequent testing. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a flip device for testing network switches, comprising a base plate 1 and two side plates 2 symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, wherein inclined plates 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom sides of the side plates 2 and the base plate 1.
[0032] A movable plate 4 is slidably installed on one side of the side plate 2, and a flipping component 5 is provided on the other side of the side plate 2.
[0033] The flipping assembly 5 includes a rotating component 54 rotatably mounted inside the upper part of the side plate 2. The rotating component 54 is internally threaded with a screw 56, which is rotatably connected to the movable plate 4.
[0034] A fixed frame 52 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the side plate 2 away from the moving plate 4. A servo motor 51 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame 52. A main gear 53 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 51. An external gear ring 55 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating part 54. The main gear 53 and the external gear ring 55 are meshed together.
[0035] A limiting rod 57 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate 4 near the side plate 2. There are no fewer than two limiting rods 57. The limiting rods 57 are slidably connected to the rotating part 54. Rotating rods 58 are also fixedly connected symmetrically above and below the side of the movable plate 4 near the side plate 2.
[0036] A horizontal bar 59 is fixedly connected between the two inclined plates 3 in the middle. Two sliding plates 510 are slidably connected to the outside of the horizontal bar 59. A collar 511 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate 510. The collar 511 is located between the side plate 2 and the moving plate 4. An annular groove 512 is opened on the side of the collar 511 near the moving plate 4. The rotating rod 58 is slidably connected to the annular groove 512.
[0037] When the angle needs to be adjusted by flipping, the operator starts the servo motor 51. The servo motor 51 drives the main gear 53 to rotate, the main gear 53 drives the outer gear ring 55 to rotate, the outer gear ring 55 drives the rotating part 54 to rotate, and the rotating part 54 drives the limit rod 57 and the moving plate 4 to rotate, thereby making the switch housing flipped and adjusted, which is convenient to flip to different angles to test different interfaces. At the same time, the rotation of the moving plate 4 drives the rotating rod 58 to rotate. The rotating rod 58 slides inside the annular groove 512, and the collar 511 provides auxiliary support for the moving plate 4 to maintain the stable positioning of the switch housing.
[0038] A clamping assembly 6 is provided on the side of the movable plate 4 away from the side plate 2. The clamping assembly 6 includes a support plate 61 fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 4. A lower rod 62 is installed between the two support plates 61. A pressure plate 66 is slidably installed on the upper part of the side of the movable plate 4 away from the side plate 2. An auxiliary plate 69 is slidably installed on both the front and back sides of the movable plate 4.
[0039] The lower rod 62 is fixedly connected to one side support plate 61, and the lower rod 62 is slidably connected to the other side support plate 61. A spring 63 is sleeved on the outside of the lower rod 62, and the two ends of the spring 63 are fixedly connected to the two side support plates 61 respectively. A fixed plate 64 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the side of the movable plate 4 away from the side plate 2.
[0040] The operator places the switch housing on top of the tray 61, and then rotates the screws 56 on both sides synchronously. At this time, the servo motor 51 does not rotate, and the main gear 53, the external gear ring 55 and the rotating part 54 do not rotate. The limit rod 57 is slidably connected to the rotating part 54. The rotation of the screws 56 will cause the moving plate 4 to move. The moving plate 4 drives the collar 511 to move through the rotating rod 58. The collar 511 drives the sliding plate 510 to slide on the outside of the crossbar 59. The moving plates 4 on both sides move closer to each other. The moving plates 4 drive the tray 61 to move. The two trays 61 move closer to each other and squeeze the spring 63 until the two moving plates 4 clamp the left and right sides of the switch housing.
[0041] Next, the operator rotates the double-ended lead screw 67. The rotation of the double-ended lead screw 67 will drive the slider 68 to move, and the slider 68 will drive the auxiliary plate 69 to move. The two auxiliary plates 69 will move closer to each other, so that the two auxiliary plates 69 clamp the front and rear sides of the switch housing. Then, the lead screw part 65 will be rotated, and the clamping plate 66 will fit against the moving plate 4. The rotation of the lead screw part 65 will drive the clamping plate 66 to press down, so that the clamping plate 66 limits the top of the switch. By clamping and fixing all sides of the switch, it is easy to apply force evenly when clamping the switch, reducing the loosening or displacement during subsequent testing.
[0042] The fixed plate 64 is internally threaded with a lead screw 65. The bottom end of the lead screw 65 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 66. The clamping plate 66 is in contact with the moving plate 4. The moving plate 4 is internally rotatably connected with a double-ended lead screw 67. The outer side of the double-ended lead screw 67 is symmetrically threaded with sliding plates 68. Two transverse sliding plates 68 are fixedly connected to the same auxiliary plate 69. The auxiliary plate 69 includes two parallel plates, and each of the auxiliary plates 69 has two ends fixedly connected to sliding plates 68. Therefore, there are four sliding plates 68. The sliding plates 68 are fixedly connected to the auxiliary plates 69, rather than being sleeved or fixedly attached.
[0043] An outer ring plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the base plate 1, and a suction cup 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer ring plate 7.
[0044] Working principle:
[0045] Before using this type of network switch to test the flip device, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure that it can function normally. Figure 1 - Figure 8As shown, the operator places the switch housing on top of the tray 61, then simultaneously rotates the screws 56 on both sides. The rotation of the screws 56 causes the movable plates 4 to move, bringing them closer together. The movable plates 4 then move the tray 61, causing the two trays 61 to move closer together and compress the spring 63 until the two movable plates 4 clamp the left and right sides of the switch housing. Next, the operator rotates the double-ended lead screw 67, causing the two auxiliary plates 69 to move closer together, clamping the front and rear sides of the switch housing. Then, rotating the lead screw 65 causes the clamping plate 66 to limit the top of the switch, facilitating clamping and fixing of all sides of the switch. The operator first clamps and fixes the switch housing using clamping assembly 6, and then tests the switch. When it is necessary to flip and adjust the angle, the operator starts the servo motor 51. The servo motor 51 drives the main gear 53 to rotate, the main gear 53 drives the outer gear ring 55 to rotate, the outer gear ring 55 drives the rotating part 54 to rotate, and the rotating part 54 drives the limit rod 57 and the moving plate 4 to rotate, thereby causing the switch housing to flip and adjust. At the same time, the rotation of the moving plate 4 drives the rotating rod 58 to rotate. The rotating rod 58 slides inside the annular groove 512, and the collar 511 provides auxiliary support for the moving plate 4 to maintain the stable positioning of the switch housing.
[0046] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
