Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of patch panel technology, and in particular to a frame-type fiber optic patch panel. Background Technology

[0002] In modern data centers and communication base station scenarios, fiber optic distribution frames, as core components of distribution cabinets, are responsible for the access, distribution, and management of high-density optical cables. With the popularization of 5G and cloud computing technologies, the number of optical fibers that need to be integrated within a single cabinet frame has surged, resulting in complex cable routing and frequent plugging and unplugging. Traditional distribution frames struggle to simultaneously meet the requirements of rapid cable access, standardized path management, and physical port protection within a limited space.

[0003] In existing technologies, after the output cable exits from the core frame, it will bend directly downwards under the action of gravity. The bending point is not supported by a directional structure, which causes mechanical stress concentration at the inflection point of the cable. Moreover, the disorderly bending of the output cable will cause the cables to intertwine or entangle with each other, affecting the later operation and maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a frame-type fiber optic distribution frame, comprising a core frame housing. One end of the core frame housing has a first panel, and the other end of the core frame housing has a second panel. The bottom of the first panel has a first cable groove, and the bottom of the second panel has a second cable groove. The first and second cable grooves extend through both ends of the core frame housing. A cable management rack is connected to the outer end of the first panel. The cable management rack is located outside the first cable groove. The free end of the cable management rack has a "Z"-shaped bend that extends horizontally away from the direction of the first cable groove and then bends vertically downward. A cable management groove is formed on the "Z"-shaped bend, and the cable management groove communicates with the first cable groove.

[0005] As a further preferred embodiment, the outer end of the second panel is connected to an L-shaped fixing bracket, the L-shaped fixing bracket is located outside the second cable tray, the bottom end of the L-shaped fixing bracket is provided with a second horizontal bend, the bottom end of the cable tray is provided with a first horizontal bend, and fixing holes are provided on the first horizontal bend and the second horizontal bend.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment, the cable management groove is located above the first horizontal bend, and the cable management groove is an elongated slot with its length direction perpendicular to the first horizontal bend.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, the first panel has a position where the first wire groove is located, and has two angled portions that bend towards the centerline of the groove. The wire groove is in two sets, and the wire entry direction of the two sets of wire grooves is perpendicular to one of the angled portions.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, each group of the cable management grooves consists of at least two adjacent slot units.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, the core frame housing is provided with an elliptical hand-held groove adjacent to the first groove and the second groove.

[0010] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0011] 1. A Z-shaped cable management frame is installed at the output end, with cable management grooves. The Z-shaped bend of the cable management frame creates a guiding mechanism for the cable exit end. The output cable enters the cable management groove, which is located on the Z-shaped bend. The horizontal bend of the cable management frame is a horizontal distance away from the first cable groove. Through the limiting effect of the cable management groove and the horizontal bend, the initial lateral swing energy of the output cable is eliminated, and the output cable is straightened in a directional direction.

[0012] 2. Through the "Z"-shaped bends of the cable management rack and the guiding effect of the cable trays, the parallel arrangement and layout of these output cables are further solidified, preventing them from intertwining and tangling, which would affect later maintenance. This cable management rack ensures that cables are arranged according to physical paths, improving the efficiency of electrical maintenance in the later stages. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The above and other embodiments and advantages of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0021] In one implementation, such as Figures 1-6 As shown:

[0022] This embodiment provides a frame-type fiber optic distribution frame, including a core frame housing 1. One end of the core frame housing 1 is provided with a first panel 2, and the other end of the core frame housing 1 is provided with a second panel 3. A first cable groove 4 is provided at the bottom of the first panel 2, and a second cable groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the second panel 3. The first cable groove 4 and the second cable groove 5 pass through both ends of the core frame housing 1. A cable management rack 6 is connected to the outer end of the first panel 2. The cable management rack 6 is located outside the first cable groove 4. The free end of the cable management rack 6 is provided with a "Z"-shaped bend 61 that extends horizontally away from the direction of the first cable groove 4 and then bends vertically downward. A cable management groove 62 is provided on the "Z"-shaped bend 61, and the cable management groove 62 communicates with the first cable groove 4.

[0023] The core of this solution lies in constructing a cable exit guide mechanism through the "Z"-shaped bend 61. The cable enters the core frame housing 1 from the equipment end via the second cable tray 5 and connects to the power supply component. The output cable exits through the first cable tray 4 and then enters the cable management tray 62. Since the cable management tray 62 is located on the "Z"-shaped bend, and there is a horizontal distance between the horizontal bend section of the cable management frame 6 and the first cable tray 4, the initial lateral oscillation energy of the output cable is eliminated through the limiting effect of the cable management tray 62 and the horizontal bend section, thus straightening the output cable. Because there are multiple and complexly distributed output cables, the "Z"-shaped bend of the cable management frame 6 and the guiding effect of the cable management tray 62 further solidify the parallel arrangement and layout of these output cables, preventing them from intertwining and tangling, which would affect later maintenance. This cable management frame 6 arranges the cables according to physical path rules, improving the efficiency of electrical wiring and subsequent maintenance.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, in another embodiment, an L-shaped fixing bracket 7 is connected to the outer end of the second panel 3. The L-shaped fixing bracket 7 is located outside the second cable tray 5. The bottom end of the L-shaped fixing bracket 7 is provided with a second horizontal bend 71, and the bottom end of the cable management rack 6 is provided with a first horizontal bend 63. Fixing holes 8 are provided on the first horizontal bend 63 and the second horizontal bend 71. During electrical wiring, the cable management rack 6 and the L-shaped fixing bracket 7 are fixed in the construction position of the distribution cabinet through the fixing holes 8. Through the fixing action of the cable management rack 6 and the L-shaped fixing bracket 7, the entire fiber optic distribution frame is fixed in the construction position of the distribution cabinet.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment, the cable management groove 62 is located above the first horizontal bend 63. The cable management groove 62 is an elongated groove, and its length direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal bend 63. The first panel 2 has a position where the first cable groove 4 is opened, and has two 90-degree corner portions 41 that bend towards the center line of the groove opening. There are two sets of cable management grooves 62, and the cable entry direction of the two sets of cable management grooves 62 is perpendicular to one of the corner portions.

[0026] When the output cable exits from the first cable tray 4, it first passes through the 90-degree corner 41 for forced corner support (forming a fulcrum) before entering the cable management tray 62. The cable management tray 62 and the 90-degree corner 41 of the first cable tray 4 form a "double curvature tensioning path" to provide lateral and oblique tension to the output cable. The two sets of cable management trays 62 form two "double curvature tensioning paths," so that while the two sets of output cables are output, lateral forces are generated respectively, further achieving the purpose of "avoiding the intertwining of each output cable and arranging the cables according to the physical path rules." Each set of cable management trays 62 consists of two adjacent slot units, allowing different types of output cables to pass through the corresponding slot units in a classified manner, realizing the direction and flow control of different types of output cables and reducing signal crosstalk.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment, the core frame housing 1 has an elliptical hand slot 101 adjacent to the first cable slot 4 and the second cable slot 5. The long axis of the elliptical hand slot 101 is parallel to the cable slot direction, allowing the thumb and forefinger of the maintenance personnel to naturally grip the edge of the slot. During operation, the direction of the force applied by the hand is consistent with the cable direction, avoiding the transmission of lateral torque to the port. The rounded corner R of the edge of the elliptical hand slot 101 is ≥2mm to provide a non-slip grip surface, reducing the risk of slippage during operation. Furthermore, some output cables can also pass through the elliptical hand slot 101, meaning that the elliptical hand slot 101 also serves as a cable management function.

[0028] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6The diagram shows another possible shape of the fiber optic patch panel. The adapter holes at the top, front, and rear ends of the core frame housing 1 are shown in the diagram. Figures 1 to 3 The shapes of the adapter holes at the upper, front, and rear ends of the core sub-frame housing 1 are inconsistent (for example, one is a 24-core core sub-frame and the other is a 48-core core sub-frame), but this will not affect the specific implementation of the technical solution of the present invention.

This implementation scheme is only for the convenience of describing the scheme and to make relative descriptions based on the orientations of the references. In reality, the specific orientations of each component are based on their actual installation and use, as well as the orientation descriptions that are customary to those skilled in the art.
