Detailed Implementation
[0024] 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.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0026] A switch that can be installed at multiple locations includes:
[0027] The housing includes a communication switch 1, and a data cable 11 is provided on the surface of the communication switch 1. Both the communication switch 1 and the data cable 11 are existing products and are not considered as technical protection points of this application. They will not be described in detail here.
[0028] The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment knob 2, which acts on the surface of the communication switch 1 to drive the worm gear 21 to rotate. The worm gear 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjustment knob 2 to drive the worm wheel 23 to rotate. A first fixed shaft 22 is fixedly connected inside the communication switch 1 to connect the worm wheel 23. The worm gear 23 is meshed with the surface of the worm gear 21 to connect to the L-shaped mounting lug 24. The L-shaped mounting lug 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the worm wheel 23 for mounting the communication switch 1 on a wall or rack. A positioning slot 25 is provided for engaging the positioning block 28. A connecting slot 26 is provided on the surface of the communication switch 1 for connecting the guide rod 27 and the positioning block 28. The guide rod 27 is movably connected inside the connecting slot 26 to provide guidance for the movement of the positioning block 28. The positioning block 28 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rod 27 to engage with the positioning slot 25 and position the L-shaped lug 24. A damping spring 29 is wound around the surface of the guide rod 27 to drive the positioning block 28 to engage with the positioning slot 25.
[0029] Furthermore, the adjustment knobs 2 are symmetrically distributed in two sets on the surface of the communication switch 1. The worm gear 21 is connected to the internal rotation of the communication switch 1 through the adjustment knobs 2. Rotating the adjustment knobs 2 can drive the worm gear 21 to rotate, thereby driving the worm wheel 23 to rotate synchronously.
[0030] Furthermore, the worm gear 23 is rotatably connected to the surface of the worm 21 and the first fixed shaft 22, and the L-shaped lug 24 is rotatably connected to the surface of the communication switch 1 via the worm gear 23. The worm gear 23 rotates synchronously on the surface of the first fixed shaft 22 following the rotation of the worm 21, thereby driving the L-shaped lug 24 to rotate.
[0031] Furthermore, the connection slots 26 are symmetrically arranged in two sets on the surface of the communication switch 1. The positioning block 28 is movably connected to the surface of the connection slots 26 through the L-shaped hanging ear 24. The L-shaped hanging ear 24 rotates with the rotation of the worm gear 23, thereby changing the direction of action of the L-shaped hanging ear 24. The communication switch 1 can be installed on the wall or rack by using expansion bolts.
[0032] Furthermore, four sets of positioning slots 25 are evenly distributed on the surface of the L-shaped lug 24. The two ends of the damping spring 29 are fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting groove 26 and the surface of the positioning block 28. The positioning block 28 is engaged with the surface of the positioning slot 25 through the damping spring 29. When the L-shaped lug 24 rotates, it presses the positioning block 28, causing the guide rod 27 to move into the connecting groove 26, thereby causing the damping spring 29 to deform. When the damping spring 29 returns to its original shape, it causes the positioning block 28 to engage with the positioning slot 25, thereby positioning the working position of the L-shaped lug 24.
[0033] Furthermore, the cable management mechanism includes a second fixed shaft 3, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the communication switch 1 for connecting the cable management plate 32. A damping torsion spring 31 is wound around the surface of the second fixed shaft 3 for driving the cable management plate 32 to close. The cable management plate 32 is rotatably connected to the surface of the second fixed shaft 3 for managing multiple sets of data cables 11. The surface of the cable management plate 32 has cable management grooves 33 for connecting the data cables 11.
[0034] Furthermore, the second fixed shafts 3 are symmetrically distributed in two groups on the surface of the communication switch 1. The cable management plate 32 is rotatably connected to the surface of the communication switch 1 through the second fixed shafts 3. The two groups of second fixed shafts 3 are distributed vertically, so that the two groups of cable management plates 32 can be opened individually according to the installation position of the communication switch 1 to manage multiple groups of data cables 11.
[0035] Furthermore, the two ends of the damping torsion spring 31 are fixedly connected to the surface of the second fixed shaft 3 and the inside of the cable management plate 32. The cable management plate 32 is rotatably connected to the surface of the data cable 11 through the damping torsion spring 31. The cable management grooves 33 are evenly opened on the surface of the cable management plate 32. Rotating the cable management plate 32 can open the cable management plate 32, causing the damping torsion spring 31 to deform. Then, multiple sets of data cables 11 are installed on the surface of the communication switch 1. Then, the restriction on the cable management plate 32 is released. The damping torsion spring 31 drives the cable management plate 32 to reset in order to restore its original shape, clamping multiple sets of data cables 11.
[0036] Working principle: When using the communication switch 1, firstly, rotating the adjustment knob 2 drives the worm gear 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 23 to rotate. The L-shaped lug 24 rotates along with the worm wheel 23, thus changing the direction of action of the L-shaped lug 24. The rotation of the L-shaped lug 24 presses against the positioning block 28, causing the guide rod 27 to move into the connecting groove 26, thereby causing the damping spring 29 to deform. The damping spring 29 returns to its original shape, causing the positioning block 28 to engage with the positioning groove 25, thus securing the L-shaped lug. The L-shaped mounting lug 24 is positioned, and then the L-shaped mounting lug 24 can be installed on the wall or rack using expansion bolts to fix the position of the communication switch 1. Then, the cable management plate 32 can be opened by rotating it, so that the damping torsion spring 31 is deformed. Then, multiple sets of data cables 11 are installed on the surface of the communication switch 1. Then, the restriction on the cable management plate 32 is released, and the damping torsion spring 31 returns to its original state, driving the cable management plate 32 to reset and clamping multiple sets of data cables 11 for cable management.
