[0002] Patch panels are the most important component in the management subsystem. They are the hub for the cross-connection of the vertical backbone and horizontal cabling subsystems. Patch panels are usually installed in cabinets or on walls. Depending on the location and purpose, they are divided into two main categories: main patch panels and intermediate patch panels. They are specialized equipment used in information technology engineering for managing, connecting and distributing cables.

[0003] When using patch panels, they are usually fixed on mounting brackets inside the cabinet. Then, one end of the information technology engineering cable is inserted into the evenly distributed wiring ports on one end of the patch panel, thereby achieving the effect of centralized connection and distribution management of the cable.

[0004] However, when using the above method, since the patch panel has many connection ports, most of which are often directly exposed, some of the connection ports of the patch panel are not used for a long time and are exposed to the outside, which makes it easy for a large amount of dust particles to accumulate inside the connection ports, thus affecting the normal use thereafter.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a patch panel for information technology engineering to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 A patch panel for information technology engineering includes: a patch panel body 1, with two fixing plates 101 symmetrically fixedly connected to the side walls of the patch panel body 1, and a plurality of convenient insertion mechanisms 5 respectively provided at one end of the two fixing plates 101.

[0022] Dustproof mechanism 2 includes a dustproof cover 201, several sealing plates 202, a magnetic suction component 3 and an opening and closing component 4. One end of the dustproof cover 201 is installed on one end of the patch panel body 1 through the magnetic suction component 3, and several sealing plates 202 are installed in the middle of the dustproof cover 201 through the opening and closing component 4.

[0023] The magnetic assembly 3 includes two first magnets 301 and two second magnets 302. The two first magnets 301 are symmetrically fixed to one end of the patch panel body 1. One end of the dust cover 201 is attracted to the two first magnets 301 through the two second magnets 302.

[0024] The opening and closing assembly 4 includes several limiting slide rods 402, several limiting holes 403, and several first springs 404. Several connecting slots 401 are provided in the middle of the dust cover plate 201 corresponding to the wiring port of the wiring frame body 1. One end of several limiting slide rods 402 is symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of several connecting slots 401. One end of several sealing plates 202 is slidably connected to several limiting slide rods 402 through several limiting holes 403. The two ends of several first springs 404 are fixedly connected to both ends of several connecting slots 401 and one end of several sealing plates 202.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, firstly, the patch panel body 1 is connected and installed to the mounting bracket in the cabinet via the fixed plate 101 through the convenient insertion mechanism 5. Then, by aligning the second magnet 302 at one end of the dust cover 201 with the first magnet 301 at one end of the patch panel body 1 and attaching them together, the dust cover 201 can be magnetically attracted and fixed to one end of the patch panel body 1. Furthermore, by forcefully pulling the dust cover 201 outward, the second magnet 302 is separated from the first magnet 301, allowing the dust cover 201 to be removed. This facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance of the patch panel body 1. After the dust cover 201 is magnetically fixed to one end of the patch panel body 1, the sealing plate 202 effectively seals the wiring port at one end of the patch panel body 1. When wiring is required at the wiring port, the wiring groove can be slid up and down. The two sealing plates 202 installed inside the hole 401 can apply force to make them slide open through the limiting hole 403 and the upper limit of the limiting slide rod 402. The opening of the two sealing plates 202 allows the wiring port to be exposed, and the exposed wiring port can be connected to the cable. Similarly, when the cable is pulled out from the wiring port, the first spring 404 provides a reaction force to make the sealing plates 202 slide back and close on the limiting slide rod 402. The sealing plates 202 automatically seal the wiring port by sliding back and closing. This makes it easy to seal the wiring ports on the patch panel body 1 to prevent dust, thus avoiding the accumulation of dust particles inside the wiring ports after long periods of disuse, and facilitating the normal use of the wiring ports.

[0026] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the convenient insertion mechanism 5 includes a connector 501, a tensioning assembly 6, and a locking piece 7. One end of the connector 501 is installed on one end of the fixing plate 101 via the tensioning assembly 6, and the locking piece 7 is installed on the side wall of the connector 501.

[0027] The tensioning assembly 6 includes a tensioning groove 601, a support rod 602, and a second spring 603. One end of the support rod 602 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing plate 101, and one end of the connector 501 is slidably connected to the side wall of the support rod 602 through the tensioning groove 601. The two ends of the second spring 603 are fixedly connected to one end of the tensioning groove 601 and the other end of the support rod 602, respectively.

[0028] The clip 7 includes two telescopic grooves 701, two third springs 702, and two fixing blocks 703. The two telescopic grooves 701 are symmetrically opened on the side wall of the connector 501. One end of each of the two third springs 702 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two telescopic grooves 701. The side walls of the two fixing blocks 703 are slidably connected to the side walls of each of the two telescopic grooves 701, and one end of each fixing block 703 is fixedly connected to the other end of each of the two third springs 702.

[0029] Based on the above embodiment, the fixed locking block 703 is manually pressed to slide into the telescopic groove 701. Then, the connector 501 is aligned with the socket on the mounting bracket inside the cabinet and inserted. By inserting the connector 501 into the socket on the mounting bracket, it is forced to slide outward on the support rod 602 through the tensioning groove 601, stretching the second spring 603. At this time, after the connector 501 is inserted into the socket on the mounting bracket and passes through, the third spring 702 provides a reaction force, causing the fixed locking block 703 to spring back out from the telescopic groove 701. The springback of the fixed locking block 703 forms a limiting engagement with the mounting bracket inside the cabinet, and the strong elasticity of the second spring 602 further secures it. 03 provides a reaction force, which allows the connector 501 to be reset and spring back on the support rod 602. The reset and springback of the connector 501 allows the extended fixing block 703 to fit tightly against the mounting bracket, thus fixing the patch panel body 1 onto the mounting bracket inside the cabinet. Similarly, by manually pressing the fixing block 703, it is forced to contract and loosen, engaging with the limit of the mounting bracket. Then, by pulling the fixing plate 101 outward, the connector 501 can be pulled out of the socket on the mounting bracket, and the patch panel body 1 can be removed from the mounting bracket inside the cabinet. This allows for convenient plug-in connection and installation of the patch panel body 1, and convenient disassembly, eliminating the need for bolts or other installation methods. The operation is simple, convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving, effectively improving the ease of use.

[0030] The working principle of the patch panel for information technology engineering provided by this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, by manually pressing the fixing block 703, it slides and retracts into the telescopic groove 701. Then, the connector 501 is aligned with the socket on the mounting bracket inside the cabinet and inserted. By inserting the connector 501 into the socket on the mounting bracket, it is subjected to force and slides outward on the support rod 602 through the tensioning groove 601, stretching the second spring 603. At this time, after the connector 501 is inserted into the socket on the mounting bracket and passes through, the third spring 702 provides a reaction force, causing the fixing block 703 to spring back out from the telescopic groove 701. The springback of the fixing block 703... This allows the patch panel body 1 to be fixedly engaged with the mounting bracket inside the cabinet. A strong second spring 603 provides a reaction force, causing the connector 501 to spring back and reposition on the support rod 602. This springback movement of the connector 501 allows the extended fixing block 703 to tightly engage with the mounting bracket, thus securing the patch panel body 1 to the mounting bracket inside the cabinet. Similarly, manually pressing the fixing block 703 causes it to contract and loosen, releasing the engagement with the mounting bracket. Pulling out the fixing plate 101 then removes the connector 501 from the socket on the mounting bracket, allowing the patch panel body 1 to be easily removed from the mounting bracket inside the cabinet. This facilitates convenient connection and installation of the patch panel body 1. The design allows for easy disassembly, eliminating the need for bolts or other methods of installation. This simplifies operation, saving time and effort and significantly improving usability. After the patch panel body 1 is fixedly installed, the second magnet 302 at one end of the dust cover 201 is aligned with and adhered to the first magnet 301 at the same end of the patch panel body 1. This magnetic attraction fixes the dust cover 201 to one end of the patch panel body 1. By forcefully pulling the dust cover 201 outwards, the second magnet 302 separates from the first magnet 301, allowing the dust cover 201 to be removed. This facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance of the patch panel body 1. After the dust cover 201 is fixed to one end of the patch panel body 1, the sealing plate 202 allows for easy access to the patch panel. The wiring port at one end of the cable tray body 1 is effectively sealed. When wiring is required, the two sealing plates 202 inside the sliding connection slot 401 apply force to open by sliding them through the limiting hole 403 on the limiting slide rod 402. This allows the wiring port to be exposed, and a cable can then be connected through the exposed port. Similarly, when the cable is pulled out of the wiring port, the first spring 404 provides a reaction force, causing the sealing plates 202 to slide back and close on the limiting slide rod 402. This automatic sealing of the wiring port is achieved by the sealing plates 202 sliding back and closing.This effectively seals and protects the wiring ports on the patch panel body 1 from dust, preventing dust accumulation inside ports that have been left exposed for extended periods without use, thus facilitating normal operation of the wiring ports.
