Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic patch panel technology, and in particular to an electronic patch panel with dustproof function. Background Technology

[0002] In the infrastructure of modern communication networks and data centers, electronic patch panels, as core components connecting various cables (such as network cables and fiber optics), directly impact the transmission efficiency and reliability of the entire network. Since patch panels are typically installed in environments such as computer rooms and low-voltage rooms, they are constantly exposed to pollutants such as airborne dust and fiber optic contaminants. Dust adhering to port contacts or fiber optic ferrules can easily lead to signal attenuation, poor contact, and even equipment failure. Therefore, dustproof electronic patch panels have become crucial equipment for improving the durability of network systems. Their design must ensure flexible cable insertion and removal while using mechanical structures to block dust intrusion, balancing dustproof performance with ease of operation.

[0003] In existing technologies, dustproof designs for electronic patch panels often employ independent dust covers or sealed box structures. For example, some patch panels have manually pluggable silicone dust plugs at the ports, achieving port sealing through the elastic deformation of the silicone material; other designs use an integrated metal protective cover, fixed to the patch panel surface with screws, with rubber gaskets added between the cover and the patch panel to enhance sealing. The underlying technology relies primarily on physical barriers, i.e., covering unused ports or encasing cable connection areas with dustproof components to reduce the contact area between dust and internal components. Some designs also incorporate filters at the ventilation points of the protective cover to balance dustproofing and heat dissipation requirements.

[0004] However, existing dustproof structures generally suffer from cumbersome operation and inadequate sealing. For example, manually pluggable dust plugs are easily lost during frequent cable handling, and designs that only cover the port cannot effectively seal the cable entry and exit areas. While integrated protective covers can achieve dust protection over a wider area, each maintenance requires the removal of multiple screws, making the operation complex. Furthermore, after long-term use, the gaskets are prone to aging and developing gaps, allowing dust to enter from the connection points and affecting the dustproof effect. Therefore, an electronic patch panel with dustproof function is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of an electronic patch panel with dustproof function, comprising a patch panel body 1, which is used to support and fix various components. A dustproof component is provided on the side wall of the patch panel body 1, which is used to block external dust from entering the patch panel and achieve the core dustproof function. A fixing component is provided on the side wall of the patch panel body 1, which is used to securely install the dustproof related components and prevent them from loosening and affecting the dustproof effect.

[0033] The dustproof assembly includes a lower shell 2 and an upper shell 3. The lower shell 2 and upper shell 3 form a dustproof space and protect the internal cables. The side wall of the upper shell 3 is rotatably connected to the inside of the patch panel body 1. The upper shell 3 opens and closes by rotating, facilitating the insertion and removal of cables. The side wall of the lower shell 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the patch panel body 1. The lower shell 2 provides stable support and cooperates with the upper shell 3 to form a sealed space. A fixing sleeve 2 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower shell 2, and a fixing sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper shell 3. A locking block 8 is fixedly connected inside the fixing sleeve 6. The upper shell 3 and lower shell 2 are securely locked together by a push block 9, which is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed sleeve 7. A second locking block 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the push block 9. The second locking block 10 engages with the first locking block 8, and the second locking block 10 cooperates with the first locking block 8 to achieve a secure locking effect. A spring 11 is installed inside the fixed sleeve 7. The spring 11 provides elastic force to reset the second locking block 10. One end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected inside the fixed sleeve 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second locking block 10. The spring 11 cooperates with the second locking block 10 to extend and retract, achieving the locking effect of the second locking block 10. The lower shell 2 has an automatic reset and a tight engagement with the locking block 8. A dustproof mesh 12 is provided on the side wall of the lower shell 2 to filter dust particles from the air, allowing airflow while preventing dust from entering. Multiple grooves for placing cables are provided on the side walls of both the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 3. These grooves accommodate cables, facilitating cable arrangement and fixation. Both the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 3 have sealing gaskets 4 inside. The sealing gaskets 4 are made of rubber and enhance sealing performance. Located inside the grooves, the sealing gaskets 4 work in conjunction with the grooves to compress and seal the cables. To achieve a sealing effect around the gaps, a torsion spring 5 is installed inside the patch panel body 1. The torsion spring 5 provides torque to achieve automatic reset of the upper shell 3. One end of the torsion spring 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the patch panel body 1, and the other end of the torsion spring 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper shell 3. The torsion spring 5 cooperates with the upper shell 3 to perform torsional movement, achieving the effect of automatic opening of the upper shell 3. The lower shell 2 fits against the side wall of the upper shell 3, and the first fixing sleeve 6 fits against the side wall of the second fixing sleeve 7. Sealing blocks are provided at the joints between the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 3. The sealing blocks are used to fill the gaps between the joints and enhance the overall sealing performance.

[0034] Reference Figures 4-5The fixing component includes a positioning block 14, which guides the dustproof net 12 to be accurately installed onto the lower shell 2, ensuring accurate installation and preventing displacement that could affect the dustproof effect. The sidewall of the positioning block 14 is fixedly connected to the sidewall of the dustproof net 12, and slidably connected to the inside of the lower shell 2. The positioning block 14 moves in conjunction with the lower shell 2, achieving a quick and accurate installation of the dustproof net 12. A sealing ring 13, made of rubber, is fitted onto the sidewall of the dustproof net 12 to fill the gap between the dustproof net 12 and the lower shell 2. The sidewall of the sealing ring 13 adheres to the sidewall of the lower shell 2, and its contact movement with the dustproof net 12 prevents dust from entering through the installation gap between the dustproof net 12 and the lower shell 2. As a result, a magnetic block 15 is fixedly connected inside the dustproof net 12, and a magnetic block 26 is fixedly connected inside the lower shell 2. The function of the magnetic block 15 and the magnetic block 26 is to attract each other. The magnetic block 15 and the magnetic block 26 attract each other, and the magnetic block 15 and the magnetic block 26 perform adsorption movement, which further stabilizes the installation of the dustproof net 12, prevents it from loosening or falling off, and facilitates the disassembly of the dustproof net 12. The positioning block 14, sealing ring 13, magnetic block 15 and magnetic block 26 work together with the dustproof net 12 and the lower shell 2 to form a multi-fixing and sealing structure for the dustproof net 12. This achieves the effect of convenient installation, accurate positioning, firm fixation and tight sealing of the dustproof net 12, effectively improving the dustproof performance and use stability of the dustproof net 12.

[0035] Working Principle: When the device needs to be closed during operation, the upper shell 3, under the torque of the torsion spring 5, fits tightly against the side wall of the lower shell 2. The sealing block at the fitting point further eliminates gaps. At this time, the first fixing sleeve 6 moves with the upper shell 3 to fit against the second fixing sleeve 7. The first locking block 8 inserts into the second fixing sleeve 7, squeezing the second locking block 10 and compressing the spring 11. When the first locking block 8 is fully inserted, the spring 11 returns to its original position, pushing the second locking block 10 to engage with the first locking block 8, thus locking the upper shell 3 and the lower shell 2. The sealing gaskets 4 in the grooves of the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 3 squeeze each other during fitting, forming a wrap-around seal for the cable passing through the groove, preventing dust from entering along the cable gaps. When it is necessary to open the upper shell 3, press the push block 9, which drives the second locking block 10 to compress the spring 11 and disengage from the first locking block 8, releasing the lock. Locked, the torque of the torsion spring 5 is released, driving the upper shell 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft to open, facilitating the insertion or removal of cables. The dustproof net 12 slides into the lower shell 2 through the positioning block 14, achieving precise positioning and initial fixation. The sealing ring 13 on its side wall fits tightly with the inner wall of the lower shell 2, preventing dust from entering through the installation gap between the dustproof net 12 and the lower shell 2. The dustproof net 12 can filter the air entering the device and intercept dust particles in the air. At the same time, the magnetic block 15 inside the dustproof net 12 and the magnetic block 16 inside the lower shell 2 attract each other, further enhancing the stability of the dustproof net 12 installation and avoiding loosening due to vibration or collision. When it is necessary to disassemble the dustproof net 12, the magnetic block 15 and the magnetic block 16 can be separated to remove the dustproof net 12 for cleaning and replacement.
