Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wiring devices, and in particular to a wiring rack for server racks. Background Technology

[0002] A patch panel is a device used to organize and manage cables, typically used in telecommunications, networking, and data centers. Its main function is to provide a centralized location for connecting and installing cables to facilitate the management, maintenance, and connection of communication between different devices. A patch panel usually includes multiple ports, each connected to a cable. These cables can come from different devices, cabinets, or server rooms. Through the patch panel, users can connect these cables to the corresponding devices to establish communication connections.

[0003] Currently, the cable management ports on patch panels are all fixed. During equipment use, the port connections will constantly change. When the number of wires exceeds the upper limit of the patch panel, the excess wires are not easy to manage, and the only solution is to replace the patch panel, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a patch panel for server racks to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a patch panel for server racks. By modularizing the patch panel, the number of support frames, patch panels, and cable management boards can be added according to actual needs, thereby accommodating the varying number of wires in the equipment within the rack. Furthermore, the patch panels on the patch panels and the cable management frames on the cable management boards can be installed and added as needed, ensuring that each installation cable of the equipment can be bundled and organized through a patch panel, and that multiple wires on each layer can also be neatly organized through the cable management board at the rear, thus ensuring that the wires inside the rack are clean and tidy.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A patch panel for server racks includes a support frame, a support base frame, a patch panel, a cable management board, and cable blocks. The support base frame is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom and the top of the server rack. The support frame is fixedly installed on the top of the support base frame. Support frames are fixedly installed at all four corners of the server rack. A patch panel is fixedly installed between the two support frames at the front of the server rack, and cable blocks are installed inside the patch panel. A cable management board is fixedly installed between the two support frames at the rear of the server rack.

[0008] The above technical solution involves installing the support frame at the four corners of the cabinet to form a frame structure. Then, the patch panel and cable management board are installed at the front and rear of the frame structure. The patch panel is responsible for organizing the equipment's wires, while the cable management board is responsible for organizing the wires on the first layer, thus ensuring that the wires inside the cabinet do not become messy.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple mounting screw holes are fixedly opened on both sides of the L-frame of the support frame, and two fixing slots are opened on the top and bottom of the support frame. The two support frames are limited and fixed by mounting slot blocks in the fixing slots. The support frames are fixedly installed on the side wall of the cabinet through the mounting screw holes.

[0010] With the above technical solution, the support frame is fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet by mounting bolts in the mounting screw holes to ensure support strength, and the upper and lower support frames can be installed with snap-fit ​​blocks in the snap-fit ​​slots to ensure that there is no deviation between the two support frames.

[0011] Furthermore, the side wall of the support base is fixedly provided with two fixing screw holes, and the support base is fixedly installed inside the cabinet through the fixing screw holes. Both the front and rear ends of the support base are provided with connecting screw holes, and the support base is fixedly connected to the support frame by mounting bolts passing through the mounting screw holes of the support frame through the connecting screw holes.

[0012] The above technical solution allows the support base plate to be fixedly installed at the bottom of the cabinet.

[0013] Furthermore, mounting plates are fixedly provided at both ends of the wiring board, and first screw holes are provided on both mounting plates of the wiring board. The wiring board is fixedly installed on the support frame through the mounting plates.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the number of patch panels can be increased according to the actual needs of the equipment inside the cabinet, ensuring that the connection cables of each device can be neatly arranged.

[0015] Furthermore, the front end face of the wiring board is provided with a through hole groove, the inside of the wiring board is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, a plurality of wiring blocks are snapped in the snap-fit ​​groove of the wiring board, the top end of the wiring board is provided with a second screw hole, a snap-fit ​​plate is installed on the wiring board through four second screw holes, and a back plate is fixedly provided on the rear side of the bottom end of the snap-fit ​​plate.

[0016] The above technical solution provides a wiring block that can be installed and removed, ensuring that each installation wire of the equipment can be bundled and organized through a wiring block.

[0017] Furthermore, the wiring block is snapped into the wiring board snap-in slot and is limited by the back plate of the snap-in plate. The front and rear ends of the wiring block are fixedly provided with square blocks. The square blocks pass through the through-hole slot of the wiring board. A wire-passing through hole is opened in the middle of the wiring block. A buffer gasket is wrapped inside the wire-passing through hole.

[0018] With the above technical solution, a buffer washer is provided in the cable bundling through hole of the wiring block, which can effectively protect the cable and prevent the connecting wire from being bent too hard during the cable bundling process, thereby damaging the cable.

[0019] Furthermore, the cable tray is provided with third screw holes on both sides, and the cable tray is mounted on the support frame through two third screw holes. The cable tray is provided with multiple fourth screw holes in the middle, and a cable tray frame is installed on the fourth screw holes.

[0020] With the above technical solution, cable management frames can also be added according to actual needs, so that multiple wires on each layer can be neatly organized through the cable management plate at the rear, thereby ensuring that the wires inside the cabinet are clean and tidy.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
