Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of military container cabinet assembly technology, specifically, to a cabinet installation auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] Military container cabins are categorized into several types based on their function, purpose, and equipment type, each with varying heights and internal components. For example, communication cabinets typically have rails mounted on racks, with components placed on top of the rails; integrated cabinets often house modular components directly fixed to the rack; while monitoring and display cabinets primarily house large components like displays, secured directly to robotic arms. Therefore, addressing the assembly space issue for military container cabin cabinets requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including space planning, heat dissipation, cable management, seismic resistance, safety, maintenance, environmental adaptability, ergonomics, and weight distribution.

[0003] However, in actual installation, when operators place the required components inside the container for installation, the internal layout presents several challenges. Firstly, the numerous small assembly parts can easily lead to omissions or collisions. Secondly, if the holes on the frame are not level, internal assembly can become misaligned, resulting in a high cumulative error after assembly and causing malfunctions during normal cabinet operation. Furthermore, during container cabinet assembly, varying skill levels can lead to misaligned or incorrect holes in the frame, requiring repositioning and re-drilling when assembling internal equipment. Since personal experience plays a dominant role in this process, relying solely on manual operation can result in inconsistent quality. Additionally, if the cabinet is assembled outside the container, its considerable weight after assembly makes handling difficult and increases the risk of damage to the container door during transport. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of poor rack assembly consistency, large final assembly error, and difficulty in guaranteeing appearance quality in the existing technology. It provides a rack installation auxiliary device that eliminates final assembly error, improves rack assembly consistency, and ensures high appearance quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cabinet installation auxiliary device, which includes a movable platform, a front bracket, a drilling fixture, a side bracket, and a clamping fixture. The front bracket is vertically arranged in front of the movable platform. One end of the side bracket is detachably connected to the front bracket, and the other end extends horizontally toward the rear of the movable platform. The front bracket and the side bracket form an outer frame that can accommodate the cabinet to be installed. The clamping fixture is arranged on the side bracket and is configured to position and fix the cabinet to be installed. The drilling fixture is arranged on the front bracket and is configured to change the drilling position and size according to the drilling needs.

[0006] Preferably, the movable platform includes a tray and casters mounted on the bottom of the tray by a first screw.

[0007] Preferably, the front bracket includes a pair of symmetrically arranged vertical rods, each with a slidable vertical slider, and the two vertical sliders are connected by a third screw and a connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom end of the vertical rod is detachably connected to the top of the tray by means of a fixing block and a second screw.

[0009] Preferably, the side support includes a pair of symmetrically arranged transverse rods, which are connected to the vertical slider by wing screws.

[0010] Preferably, the hole-making fixture includes a tightening knob, a rotating shaft, a hole punch, and a transverse slider. The transverse slider is slidably mounted on the connecting rod, and a threaded hole is formed on the transverse slider. The hole punch is coaxially embedded outside the rotating shaft, and the tightening knob passes through the rotating shaft and is screwed into the threaded hole.

[0011] The punch has multiple through holes of different diameters.

[0012] Preferably, the multiple through holes are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping fixture includes a handle, a fifth screw, a spring block, and a conical pressure head. The spring block is fixed to the transverse rod by multiple fifth screws and a mounting base. The handle is riveted to one end of the spring block, and the conical pressure head is disposed on the other end of the spring block.

[0014] Preferably, the area of ​​the conical pressure head that contacts the cabinet is wrapped with a rubber layer.

[0015] Preferably, the handle and the compression spring block form an angle of 100°-145°.

[0016] According to the above technical solution, the front bracket is vertically positioned in front of the movable platform. One end of the side bracket is detachably connected to the front bracket, and the other end extends horizontally towards the rear of the movable platform. The front and side brackets together form an outer frame capable of accommodating the cabinet to be installed. A clamping fixture is mounted on the side bracket and configured to position and fix the cabinet to be installed. A drilling fixture is mounted on the front bracket and configured to adjust the drilling position and size according to drilling requirements.

[0038] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0039] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "front," "side," "inner," "outer," "top," and "bottom" included in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the terminology.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a cabinet installation auxiliary device, which includes a movable platform 1, a front bracket 2, a drilling fixture 3, a side bracket 4, and a clamping fixture 5. The front bracket 2 is vertically arranged in front of the movable platform 1. One end of the side bracket 4 is detachably connected to the front bracket 2, and the other end extends horizontally toward the rear of the movable platform 1. The front bracket 2 and the side bracket 4 form an outer frame that can accommodate the cabinet to be installed. The clamping fixture 5 is arranged on the side bracket 4 and is configured to position and fix the cabinet to be installed. The drilling fixture 3 is arranged on the front bracket 2 and is configured to change the drilling position and drilling size according to the drilling needs.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, the front bracket 2 is vertically set in front of the movable platform 1, and one end of the side bracket 4 is detachably connected to the front bracket 2, while the other end extends horizontally towards the rear of the movable platform 1. The front bracket 2 and the side bracket 4 form an outer frame that can accommodate the cabinet to be installed. The clamping fixture 5 is set on the side bracket 4 and is configured to position and fix the cabinet to be installed. The drilling fixture 3 is set on the front bracket 2 and is configured to change the drilling position and size according to the drilling needs. In use, first, the rack, side door, etc. of the cabinet to be installed are placed inside the outer frame and fixed with the clamping fixture 5. Next, the positions of the internal partitions of the cabinet are selected according to the layering method. After the position is selected, the drilling fixture 3 is moved to the position of the hole to be drilled in the cabinet. The hole mold on the fixture is rotated, and the appropriate hole diameter is selected by comparing with the drawing size. Then, the drilling step is performed. After the drilling is completed, the drilling fixture 3 is moved to make the next hole. The above actions are repeated to complete the drilling steps of the entire cabinet and internal partitions. Once all installation is complete, the mobile platform 1 is pushed to the side of the container, the clamping fixture 5 is released, and the cabinet can be moved from the rear into the container to continue the subsequent assembly work.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, to facilitate the overall movement of the installed cabinet and device after installation using the cabinet installation auxiliary device, the movable platform 1 preferably includes a tray 12 and casters 11 mounted on the bottom of the tray 12 by first screws 14. During installation, the casters 11 are placed in preset positions, corresponding one-to-one with the mounting holes on the tray 12. The first screws 14 are then passed from top to bottom through the mounting holes and screwed into the threaded holes at the top of the casters 11, and tightened to secure the casters 11. Multiple casters 11 working together allow for overall movement and transportation. When storage or maintenance requires disassembling the casters 11, simply loosen the first screws 14 in the opposite direction and unscrew them from the threaded holes at the top of the casters 11, then pull them out from the mounting holes on the tray 12. At this point, the casters 11 are detached from the tray 12, facilitating storage, maintenance, and replacement.

[0043] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, to ensure that the rack installation auxiliary device provides sufficient constraint force in front of the rack to be installed, and to prevent easy disintegration during assembly leading to installation failure, the front support 2 preferably includes a pair of symmetrically arranged vertical rods 22. Each vertical rod 22 has a slidable vertical slider 23, and the two vertical sliders 23 are connected by a third screw 36 and a connecting rod 35. Thus, the vertical rods 22 extend from bottom to top; in actual use, a longer rod can be extended to near the top surface of the rack to be installed, providing sufficient constraint force. Furthermore, the symmetrical structure of the vertical rods 22 achieves inward constraint from the front of the rack, ensuring a level and neat front surface. Simultaneously, to ensure the stability of the symmetrical structure, a connecting rod 35 is provided between the two vertical sliders 23. When the two vertical rods 22 are long, the connecting rod 35 provides a good pulling effect, ensuring the stability of the front support 2 and preventing the long vertical rods 22 from easily swinging or deforming during use, which would affect subsequent rack assembly. Since there are multiple drilling positions distributed from top to bottom during cabinet installation, in order to allow the drilling fixture 3 to flexibly adjust its position on the front bracket 2 for drilling as needed, it is preferable to connect both ends of the connecting rod 35 to the vertical rod 22 via vertical sliders 23. In this way, when the vertical slider 23 is in a movable state, the connecting rod 35 can slide up and down synchronously to assist the drilling fixture 3 in adjusting to the accurate drilling position; when the vertical slider 23 is in a fixed state, the connecting rod 35 can also be positioned synchronously and provide stability for the drilling fixture 3 during drilling operations. Furthermore, the vertical rod 22 can be a concave groove support rod, with a concave groove formed on its side wall, and a protrusion that mates with the concave groove is formed in the area where the vertical slider 23 contacts the vertical rod 22. Using a protrusion that mates with the concave groove ensures smoother sliding of the vertical slider 23 on the vertical rod 22, preventing significant resistance and difficulty in sliding due to skewness.

[0044] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the vertical rod 22, preferably, the bottom end of the vertical rod 22 is detachably connected to the top of the support plate 12 through a fixing block 13 and a second screw 21. During installation, the fixing block 13 is first placed at a predetermined position on the top of the support plate 12. The fixing block 13 has at least one pair of mounting holes. Then, the bottom end of the vertical rod 22 is placed on the fixing block 13. Finally, the second screw 21 is screwed into the support plate 12, the fixing block 13, and finally through the fixing block 13 and screwed into the vertical rod 22, thus realizing the installation and fixation of the vertical rod 22. When it is necessary to disassemble the vertical rod 22, simply rotate the second screw 21 in the opposite direction to disengage it from the vertical rod 22. At this time, the vertical rod 22 can be easily removed, and the second screw 21 only needs to be rotated until its head is retracted into the fixing block 13. This not only prevents the sharp screw from scratching the materials or the operator's body, but also avoids the loss and damage that may easily occur when the fixing block 13 and the second screw 21 are completely detached from the support plate 12.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the preferred side bracket 4 includes a pair of symmetrically arranged horizontal rods 42, which are connected to the vertical slider 23 by wing screws 41. The vertical slider 23 has threaded holes; when the wing screws 41 pass through the horizontal rods 42 and are screwed into the threads, the horizontal rods 42 are fixed to the vertical slider 23. The pair of symmetrical horizontal rods 42 can constrain the side of the rack to be installed, ensuring the sidewalls of the rack are flush and neat. They can also cooperate with the pair of symmetrically arranged vertical rods 22 to improve the compactness of the rack during installation. Simultaneously, when the vertical slider 23 slides on the vertical rods 22 to the desired position, it needs to be positioned. At this time, the wing screws 41 are screwed inwards until the end of the wing screws 41 passes through the vertical slider 23 and abuts tightly against the vertical rods 22, thus completing the positioning of the connecting rod 35. Adjusting the drilling fixture 3 at this point is more stable and efficient.

[0046] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the hole-making fixture 3 preferably includes a tightening knob 31, a rotating shaft 32, a punch 33, and a horizontal slider 34. The horizontal slider 34 is slidably mounted on the connecting rod 35, and a threaded hole is provided on the horizontal slider 34. The punch 33 is coaxially embedded outside the rotating shaft 32, and the tightening knob 31 passes through the rotating shaft 32 and is screwed into the threaded hole. The punch 33 has multiple through holes of different diameters. With the above structure, during use, after adjusting and fixing the position of the connecting rod 35, the tightening knob 31 is loosened. At this time, the horizontal slider 34 can slide left and right on the connecting rod 35. After finding the punching area, the punch 33 can be rotated so that the required and correct through hole on the punch 33 is aligned with the punching position. Finally, the tightening knob 31 is tightened inward until the punch 33 and the horizontal slider 34 are simultaneously positioned on the connecting rod 35, and the next punching operation can begin. Therefore, the vertical slider 23 enables the puncher 33 to search for and position the punching location vertically, while the horizontal slider 34 enables it to search for and position the punching location horizontally. The combination of these two mechanisms can meet the punching requirements of all areas at the front of the cabinet. Furthermore, to optimize the specific positions of multiple through holes and avoid interference between them during punching operations, it is preferable to evenly distribute the multiple through holes circumferentially. Specifically, the puncher 33 has six hole diameter settings, ranging from φ2 to φ8.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping fixture 5 includes a handle 51, a fifth screw 52, ​​a spring block 53, and a conical pressure head 54. The spring block 53 is fixed to the transverse rod 42 by multiple fifth screws 52 and a mounting base. The handle 51 is riveted to one end of the spring block 53, and the conical pressure head 54 is disposed on the other end of the spring block 53. In this way, by rotating and pulling the handle 51 (the handle 51 and the spring block 53 form an angle of 100°-145°), the conical pressure head 54 can tightly press the side wall of the cabinet to be installed into the installation area, ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the cabinet and preventing it from falling apart under slight external force during installation.

[0048] Furthermore, to prevent the conical pressure head 54, made of metal, from scratching the side door when pressing it against the cabinet side door, preferably, a rubber layer is wrapped around the outer part of the area of ​​the conical pressure head 54 that contacts the cabinet. This rubber layer effectively protects the cabinet side door, ensuring a high-quality appearance.

[0049] In actual use, such as Figure 7As shown, the cabinet installation auxiliary device is placed near the military container. First, the rack of the cabinet to be installed is placed inside the device. Then, the cabinet side door is placed between the rack and the device's horizontal bar 42. Next, the handle 51 is pulled outwards to press the side auxiliary clamping fixture 5 into place, securing the cabinet side door. During clamping, the gap between the rack and connecting rod 35 is adjusted to facilitate the distance for subsequent hole drilling. Then, the internal sub-systems are drilled according to the drawings from top to bottom. When drilling, the hole drill 33 is rotated to the correct setting, and the drill bit is passed through the through hole to drill holes at the corresponding positions on the panels or mounting rails on both sides of the sub-systems. This ensures consistency of the installation holes without offset or error. After the cabinet installation is complete, the device is pushed directly to the entrance of the military container. The side auxiliary clamping fixture 5 is released, and the cabinet can be directly pushed into the container to continue subsequent assembly tasks.

[0050] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, including combinations of various specific technical features in any suitable manner. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not describe the various possible combinations separately. However, these simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
