Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of switch cabling technology, specifically a switch cabling structure. Background Technology

[0002] A switch is a network device used to connect network devices. It is mainly used to forward data packets within a local area network (LAN), and can forward data packets from one port to another, thereby enabling communication between devices.

[0003] Switches are typically installed in server racks, and a single rack usually contains multiple switches. Placing switches in layers within a rack provides physical protection, preventing them from being interfered with or damaged by the external environment. However, long-term observation has revealed that existing switches usually have a large number of cables connected to them. When securing these cables, cable ties are mostly used to bundle them together. When one or more cables become old and damaged, the cable ties need to be cut, the damaged cable replaced from the bundle, and then the bundle re-bundled, resulting in a cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive process.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a cable structure for a switch. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art, a cable structure for a switch is proposed.

Simultaneously, the open structure of the slots facilitates the replacement of damaged cables, reducing the need to disassemble a bundle of cables and replace the damaged bundle using existing cable ties, which is cumbersome and inconvenient.

[0007] Preferably, the cable bundling assembly includes a pair of clip frames; the clip frames are fixed to the bottom of the crossbar; the clip frames are located near both ends of the crossbar; a cover plate is rotatably connected to the clip frame; and a fixing component is provided on the side wall of the clip frame. Through the above structure, the clip frames and cover plates, together with the fixing component, facilitate the bundling of the arranged cables, thereby improving the stability of the cable arrangement and reducing tangling. At the same time, the opening structure of the cover plate and clip frames facilitates the replacement of damaged cables.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of spring rods are installed on the side wall of the cover plate; the ends of the plurality of spring rods are jointly fixed to a pressure plate; the pressure plate is arranged facing the inside of the frame; with the above structure, the spring rods and pressure plate can press the cable into the frame, thereby reducing the loosening of the cable bundles in the frame and the resulting tangled knots between the cables.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing component includes a spring pin; the spring pin is installed on the side near the end of the card frame; the side wall of the cover plate has a fixing hole; with the above structure, the spring pin and fixing hole can facilitate the closing and opening of the cover plate and card frame through the movable pin structure, thereby reducing the need for screw fixing and avoiding the cumbersome tightening process.

[0022] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a switch cabling structure includes a cabinet 1; a server body 11 is installed inside the cabinet 1; a crossbar 12 is fixed inside the cabinet 1; the crossbar 12 is correspondingly arranged with the server body 11; two sets of fixing blocks 13 are fixed to the top of the crossbar 12; each set of fixing blocks 13 has multiple blocks; the two sets of fixing blocks 13 are symmetrical; a pair of slots 14 are provided on the fixing blocks 13; a cable bundle assembly is provided at the bottom of the crossbar 12; a limiting component and a protective component are provided inside the slots 14; during operation, after the server body 11 is fixed inside the cabinet 1, and the connection ports of the fixing blocks 13 and the server body 11 are nearly horizontal, the crossbar 12 is fixed to the cabinet 1 with bolts, and then the RJ45 connectors of the cables are sequentially inserted into the connectors on the server body 11. The cable is inserted into the slot 14 through the angled opening and then moved to the bottom of the vertical opening of the slot 14. The cable is then fixed by the limiting component. At this time, the two slots 14 on the same fixing block 13 are arranged in an up-down structure, which can fix two cables in the same vertical direction on the server body 11 in the same fixing block 13 and can also fix the two cables separately, one above the other. With the above structure, the crossbar 12 is set up with the fixing block 13 and the slot 14. The fixing component is used in conjunction to facilitate the separate routing and fixing of the cables connected to the server body 11, so as to reduce the situation of knots and tangles between the cables. At the same time, the opening structure of the slot 14 can facilitate the replacement of damaged cables, thereby reducing the current method of using cable ties, which requires the entire bundle of cables to be disassembled and the damaged bundle to be replaced, resulting in a cumbersome and inconvenient replacement process.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cable bundling assembly includes a pair of clip frames 2; the clip frames 2 are fixed to the bottom of the crossbar 12; the clip frames 2 are located near both ends of the crossbar 12; a cover plate 21 is rotatably connected to the clip frames 2; a fixing component is provided on the side wall of the clip frames 2; during operation, after the cables are fixed in the slots 14 in sequence, the cables are bundled together. At this time, the two sets of fixing blocks 13 are symmetrical, which can gather the cable bundles on each set of fixing blocks 13 respectively, and then move them to both ends of the crossbar 12 and place them in the clip frames 2 on both sides. Then, the cover plate 21 is placed on the opening of the clip frame 2, and the clip frames 2 and the cover plate 21 are fixed by the fixing component. Through the above structure, the clip frames 2 and the cover plate 21 are set up, and the fixing component is used to fix the cable bundles. This can improve the stability of the cable arrangement and reduce the occurrence of tangling. At the same time, the opening structure of the cover plate 21 and the clip frames 2 can facilitate the replacement of damaged cables.

[0026] like Figure 3As shown, multiple spring rods 3 are installed on the side wall of the cover plate 21; the ends of the multiple spring rods 3 are fixedly connected to a pressure plate 31; the pressure plate 31 is set facing the inside of the frame 2; during operation, when the cover plate 21 is rotated to cover the opening of the frame 2, the pressure plate 31 will contact the cable inside the frame 2, so that when the cover plate 21 moves towards the frame 2, the reverse squeezing action of the cable on the pressure plate 31 causes the spring rods 3 to become stretched. At this time, the rebound force of the spring rods 3 acts on the cable through the pressure plate 31, which can press the cable tightly inside the frame 2. Through the above structure, by setting the spring rods 3 and the pressure plate 31, the cable can be pressed tightly inside the frame 2, thereby reducing the loosening between the cable bundles inside the frame 2 and the occurrence of tangled knots between the cables.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing component includes a spring pin 4; the spring pin 4 is installed on the side near the end of the card frame 2; the side wall of the cover plate 21 has a fixing hole 41; during operation, when using the cover plate 21 to close the opening of the card frame 2, first pull the spring pin 4 downward, then cover the opening of the card frame 2 with the cover plate 21, align the spring pin 4 with the fixing hole 41, then release the spring pin 4 to allow it to spring back, and insert the end into the spring pin 4 to fix the cover plate 21 on the card frame 2. When it is necessary to open the cover plate 21, pull the spring pin 4 downward again to disengage the spring pin 4 from the fixing hole 41, thereby releasing the cover plate 21 from the card frame 2. Through the above structure, the spring pin 4 and the fixing hole 41 are set, and the movable pin structure facilitates the closing and opening of the cover plate 21 and the card frame 2, thereby reducing the need for screw fixing and avoiding the cumbersome tightening process.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the limiting component includes a spring clip 5; the spring clip 5 is fixed inside the slot 14 and near the bottom of the slot 14; the spring clip 5 is made of elastic material; during operation, after the cable is placed inside the slot 14, the cable is then pressed into the spring clip 5 and locked inside the spring clip 5. At this time, the spring clip 5 can fix the cable inside the slot 14. Through the above structure, the spring clip 5 can lock the cable inside the slot 14 to improve the stability of the cable position inside the slot 14.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the protective component includes a protective sleeve 6; the protective sleeve 6 is fixed to one side of the bottom of the slot 14; the length of both ends of the protective sleeve 6 extends beyond the slot 14; during operation, after the cable is fixed in the slot 14, the two ends of the protective sleeve 6 extend beyond both sides of the fixing block 13, which can protect and support the cable from both sides of the fixing block 13. Through the above structure, the protective sleeve 6 is connected to the slot 14, which can reduce the contact between the cable and the edge of the fixing block 13, and reduce the friction that could cause damage to the cable sheath.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, rubber pads 7 are fixed to both the inner side of the card frame 2 and the side wall of the pressure plate 31. During operation, when the cable is squeezed and fixed by the pressure plate 31 inside the card frame 2, the surface of the cable will come into contact with the rubber pads 7 on the surfaces of the card frame 2 and the pressure plate 31. Through the above structure, the rubber pads 7 can reduce the damage caused by the hard materials of the pressure plate 31 and the card frame 2 squeezing the cable.

[0031] Working principle: After the server body 11 is fixed inside the rack 1, and the fixing block 13 is nearly horizontal with the connection port of the server body 11, the crossbar 12 is fixed to the rack 1 with bolts. Then, the RJ45 connectors of the cables are inserted into the connection ports on the server body 11. The cables are then inserted from the angled opening of the slot 14 and moved to the bottom of the vertical opening of the slot 14, where they are fixed by the limiting component. At this time, the two slots 14 on the same fixing block 13 are arranged in an up-down configuration, allowing the server body 11 to... Two cables in the same vertical direction are fixed in the same fixing block 13, and the two cables can be fixed separately, one above the other. After the cables are fixed in the slots 14, the cables are bundled together. At this time, the two sets of fixing blocks 13 are symmetrical, and the cable bundles on each set of fixing blocks 13 can be gathered together. Then, they are moved to both ends of the crossbar 12 and placed in the card frames 2 on both sides. Then, the cover plate 21 is placed on the opening of the card frame 2, and the card frame 2 and the cover plate 21 are fixed by the fixing components. The cover plate 21 is then rotated to cover the opening of the card frame 2. When the cover plate 21 moves towards the frame 2, the pressure plate 31 will contact the cable inside the frame 2. As the cover plate 21 moves towards the frame 2, the reverse pressure of the cable on the pressure plate 31 causes the spring rod 3 to be stretched. The rebound force of the spring rod 3 then acts on the cable through the pressure plate 31, pressing the cable tightly within the frame 2. When using the cover plate 21 to close the opening of the frame 2, first pull the spring pin 4 downwards. Then, after the cover plate 21 covers the opening of the frame 2, align the spring pin 4 with the fixing hole 41, then release the spring pin 4 to allow it to spring back, and then... Inserting the spring pin 4 into the cover plate 21 can fix the cover plate 21 onto the frame 2. When it is necessary to open the cover plate 21, the spring pin 4 can be pulled down again to disengage the spring pin 4 from the fixing hole 41, thereby releasing the cover plate 21 from the frame 2. After the cable is placed into the slot 14, the cable is then pressed into the spring clip 5 and locked inside the spring clip 5. At this time, the spring clip 5 can fix the cable inside the slot 14. When the cable is pressed and fixed by the pressure plate 31 inside the frame 2, the surface of the cable will contact the rubber pad 7 on the surface of the frame 2 and the pressure plate 31.
