Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic installation auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a cable management post and a fiber optic distribution cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Fiber optic distribution cabinets are core devices in fiber optic networks responsible for management and distribution. They are primarily used for centralized handling of fiber optic line connections, distribution, and protection, and are widely used in buildings, computer rooms, and various access points. Inside the fiber optic distribution cabinet, cable management posts play a crucial role, organizing and securing fiber optic patch cords to make cabling more orderly and aesthetically pleasing, effectively reducing fiber optic crossings and interference, and significantly improving the convenience of subsequent maintenance.
[0003] However, most fiber optic distribution cabinets on the market currently use screws to fix the cable management posts. This requires pre-installed fixing nuts on the mounting panel of the fiber optic distribution post, followed by the use of screws to secure each post. This method has significant drawbacks: disassembly and assembly require tools such as screwdrivers, making it inconvenient and inefficient. Furthermore, once the cable management posts are fixed, their positions are difficult to adjust, preventing flexible changes based on actual cabling conditions. This significantly reduces the convenience and efficiency of adjusting or maintaining the cable management posts. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a cable management post and fiber optic distribution cabinet, which aims to improve the convenience and efficiency of adjusting and maintaining the cable management post.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a cable management post for connection to a mounting panel. The mounting panel has a first clearance hole and a snap-fit hole that are interconnected. The cable management post includes a fixed base, a column, and a baffle connected in sequence. The fixed base, the column, and the baffle form a cable management groove. A snap-fit member is provided on one side of the fixed base. The snap-fit member includes a cantilever and a snap-fit boss. The cantilever connects the fixed base and the snap-fit boss. The first clearance hole is used for the snap-fit boss to pass through. The cantilever passes through the snap-fit hole, and the mounting panel is limited between the snap-fit boss and the fixed base.
[0006] In one embodiment, the snap-fit boss includes a plurality of stepped units, which are arranged sequentially along the direction from the fixed base to the cantilever, and the width of the plurality of stepped units increases progressively along the direction from the fixed base to the cantilever.
[0007] In one embodiment, the fixing base is further provided with a limiting spring on the side facing the snap-fit member, and the limiting spring abuts against the inner sidewall of the first clearance hole away from the snap-fit hole.
[0008] In one embodiment, the fixing base is provided with a second clearance hole, one end of the limiting spring is connected to the inner wall of the second clearance hole, and the other end of the limiting spring extends into the first clearance hole and abuts against the inner wall of the first clearance hole away from the snap-fit hole.
[0009] In one embodiment, the fixing base, the cantilever, and the snap-fit boss are integrally formed structures, and / or the limiting spring and the fixing base are integrally formed structures, and / or the fixing base, the column, and the baffle are integrally formed structures.
[0010] In one embodiment, the side of the column facing the cable tray has a wave-like structure, which includes a plurality of alternately arranged limiting strips and cable trays.
[0011] In one embodiment, the limiting strip gradually contracts along the direction from the fixed seat to the baffle, and the wire placement groove gradually expands along the direction from the fixed seat to the baffle.
[0012] In one embodiment, the column has a weight-reducing groove on the side facing away from the cable management groove.
[0013] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the weight-reducing groove is provided with a plurality of first ribs and a plurality of second ribs, wherein the first ribs and the second ribs are arranged intersectingly.
[0014] This utility model also proposes an optical fiber distribution cabinet, which has a mounting panel and cable management posts as described in any of the above embodiments. The mounting panel is provided with a plurality of first clearance holes and a plurality of snap-fit holes, and each clearance hole communicates with a snap-fit hole.
[0015] This utility model proposes a cable management post for connection to a mounting panel. The mounting panel has a first clearance hole and a snap-fit hole that are interconnected. The cable management post includes a fixed base, a post body, and a baffle connected in sequence. A cable management groove is formed between the fixed base, the post body, and the baffle. A snap-fit component is provided on one side of the fixed base. The snap-fit component includes a cantilever and a snap-fit boss. The cantilever connects the fixed base and the snap-fit boss. The first clearance hole is used for the snap-fit boss to pass through. The cantilever passes through the snap-fit hole, and the mounting panel is confined between the snap-fit boss and the fixed base. When the cable management post needs to be installed on the mounting panel, the snap-fit boss and the cantilever are first passed through the first clearance hole. Then, the entire cable management post is moved along the direction from the first clearance hole to the snap-fit hole, so that the cantilever moves into the snap-fit hole. At this time, the snap-fit boss snaps into the periphery of the snap-fit hole, and the mounting panel is confined between the snap-fit boss and the fixed base, thereby realizing the connection between the cable management post and the mounting panel. When it is necessary to remove the cable management post from the mounting panel, first move the cable management post along the direction from the snap-fit hole to the clearance hole, so that the cantilever moves from the snap-fit hole to the clearance hole and drives the snap-fit boss to move to correspond with the clearance hole. At this time, the snap-fit boss can pass through the clearance hole to be removed. In this way, the cable management post of this utility model is fixed to the mounting panel by the cantilever and the snap-fit boss. Compared with the screw fixing method, the installation position of the cable management post can be flexibly adjusted, and it can be directly installed and removed without the need for screwdrivers or other tools. Therefore, it improves the efficiency of adjusting and maintaining the cable management post and is convenient to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0035] This utility model proposes a cable management post 100.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, a cable management post 100 is used to connect to a mounting panel 200. The mounting panel 200 is provided with a first clearance hole 200a and a snap-fit hole 200b that are interconnected. The cable management post 100 includes a fixing base 1, a column 2, and a baffle 3 connected in sequence. The fixing base 1, the column 2, and the baffle 3 form a cable management groove 100a. A snap-fit member 11 is provided on one side of the fixing base 1. The snap-fit member 11 includes a cantilever 111 and a snap-fit boss 112. The cantilever 111 connects the fixing base 1 and the snap-fit boss 112. The first clearance hole 200a is used for the snap-fit boss 112 to pass through. The cantilever 111 passes through the snap-fit hole 200b, and the mounting panel 200 is limited between the snap-fit boss 112 and the fixing base 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, the mounting base 1 serves as the foundation for the cable management post 100. Its main function is to provide support for the entire cable management post 100 and to connect it to the mounting panel 200. A snap-fit element 11 is provided on one side of the mounting base 1. The shape and size of the mounting base 1 are larger than the first clearance hole 200a and the snap-fit hole 200b on the mounting panel 200. The snap-fit element 11 matches the first clearance hole 200a and the snap-fit hole 200b to ensure that the snap-fit element 11 can smoothly pass through the first clearance hole 200a and accurately snap into the snap-fit hole 200b.
[0038] The column 2 is the main body of the cable management column 100. Both ends of the column 2 are connected to the fixing base 1 and the baffle 3, respectively. The fixing base 1, column 2, and baffle 3 together form the cable management groove 100a. Fiber optic cables, patch cords, etc., can be laid or wrapped around the column 2 and confined within the cable management groove 100a. The sidewalls of the column 2 are curved to accommodate the bending requirements of the fiber optic cable and prevent damage.
[0039] The baffle 3 is connected to the end of the cable management post 100 away from the fixed base 1, and is used to form the side wall of the cable management groove 100a. It serves to prevent the optical fiber from slipping off the post 2. Therefore, the area of the baffle 3 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the post 2.
[0040] Specifically, the snap-fit component 11 includes a cantilever 111 and a snap-fit boss 112. The cantilever 111 connects the fixing base 1 and the snap-fit boss 112. In this embodiment, the clearance hole and the snap-fit hole 200b are distributed vertically, and the self-weight of the cable management post 100 can maintain the snap-fit with the snap-fit hole 200b. The projected area of the snap-fit boss 112 on the fixing base 1 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the cantilever 111 and smaller than or equal to the clearance hole, to ensure that the snap-fit boss 112 can pass through the clearance hole. The width of the snap-fit boss 112 (e.g., ...) Figure 6 As shown in d), the width of the cantilever 111 is greater than the width of the snap-fit hole 200b, and the width of the cantilever 111 is less than or equal to the width of the snap-fit hole 200b. Thus, the cantilever 111 can be inserted into the snap-fit hole 200b, and the snap-fit protrusion can engage with the periphery of the snap-fit hole 200b. Please refer to... Figure 7 When the cable management post 100 needs to be installed on the mounting panel 200, first, the snap-fit boss 112 and the cantilever 111 are passed through the first clearance hole 200a. Then, the entire cable management post 100 is moved along the direction from the first clearance hole 200a to the snap-fit hole 200b, so that the cantilever 111 moves into the snap-fit hole 200b. At this time, the snap-fit boss 112 engages with the periphery of the snap-fit hole 200b, and the mounting panel 200 is limited between the snap-fit boss 112 and the fixing base 1, thereby realizing the connection between the cable management post 100 and the mounting panel 200. When the cable management post 100 needs to be removed from the mounting panel 200, first, the cable management post 100 is moved along the direction from the snap-fit hole 200b to the clearance hole, so that the cantilever 111 moves from the snap-fit hole 200b to the clearance hole and drives the snap-fit boss 112 to move to correspond with the clearance hole. At this time, the snap-fit boss 112 can pass through the clearance hole to be removed. This assembly method eliminates the need for tools such as screwdrivers; the cable management post 100 can be installed and removed simply by moving it, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of the operation.
[0041] Furthermore, the transition between the snap-fit hole 200b and the clearance hole is achieved through a bevel or arc surface, such as... Figure 6 As shown, this allows the cantilever 111 to slide from the clearance hole into the snap-fit hole 200b, and the inclined surface guides the movement of the cantilever 111 without requiring precise alignment, making it convenient and quick.
[0042] In summary, the cable management post 100 in this embodiment is fixed to the mounting panel 200 by the cantilever 111 and the snap-fit boss 112. Compared with the screw fixing method, the installation position of the cable management post 100 can be flexibly adjusted, and it can be directly installed and removed without the need for screwdrivers or other tools. Therefore, the efficiency of adjusting and maintaining the cable management post 100 is improved, and the operation is convenient.
[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the snap-fit boss 112 includes a plurality of step units 1121, which are arranged sequentially along the direction from the fixed seat 1 to the cantilever 111. The width of the plurality of step units 1121 increases sequentially along the direction from the fixed seat 1 to the cantilever 111.
[0044] In this embodiment, the snap-fit protrusion 112 adopts a multi-step design to improve the adaptability of the cable management post 100 installation, enabling it to accommodate snap-fit holes 200b of different widths. Specifically, the width of the multiple step units 1121 increases progressively along the direction from the fixing base 1 to the cantilever 111. This design ensures that at least one step unit 1121 can stably snap into the periphery of the snap-fit hole 200b when there are snap-fit holes 200b of different widths. This design enhances the adaptability of the snap-fit protrusion to different snap-fit holes 200b and improves the versatility of the cable management post 100.
[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting spring 12 is provided on the side of the fixing base 1 facing the snap-fit member 11, and the limiting spring 12 abuts against the inner side wall of the first clearance hole 200a away from the snap-fit hole 200b.
[0046] In this embodiment, due to the addition of the limiting spring 12, the clearance hole and the snap-fit hole 200b can be distributed vertically or horizontally. The following explanation will use the vertical distribution of the clearance hole and the snap-fit hole 200b as an example. The limiting spring 12 is designed to further improve the stability of the cable management post 100 after installation, preventing it from moving vertically or even falling off due to accidental contact or external force during use. The limiting spring 12 is located on the side of the fixing base 1 facing the snap-fit member 11. One end of it is connected to the fixing base 1, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the first clearance hole 200a away from the snap-fit hole 200b. This design allows the limiting spring 12 to abut against the inner wall of the first clearance hole 200a through its own elastic force after the cable management post 100 is installed, thereby achieving a limiting effect.
[0047] The limiting spring 12 can be made of elastic metal or elastic plastic to ensure that it can elastically deform under external force and return to its original shape after the force is removed. During installation, after the limiting spring 12 abuts against the inner wall of the first clearance hole 200a, it can effectively prevent the cable management post 100 from moving in the vertical direction. When it is necessary to disassemble the cable management post 100, simply move the limiting spring 12 to make it elastically deform and disengage from the inner wall of the first clearance hole 200a and leave the first clearance hole 200a. At this time, the limiting spring 12 no longer exerts a limiting effect on the cable management post 100, and the cable management post 100 can be smoothly removed along the direction from the snap-fit hole 200b to the clearance hole. Therefore, while improving the safety of the cable management post 100, it also maintains its advantages of high efficiency and convenient operation.
[0048] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the fixing base 1 is provided with a second clearance hole 1a, one end of the limiting spring piece 12 is connected to the inner sidewall of the second clearance hole 1a, and the other end of the limiting spring piece 12 extends into the first clearance hole 200a and abuts against the inner sidewall of the first clearance hole 200a away from the snap-fit hole 200b.
[0049] In this embodiment, by providing a second clearance hole 1a on the fixed base 1, a larger space is provided for the elastic deformation of the limiting spring 12, thereby enhancing the elastic deformation capability of the limiting spring 12.
[0050] Specifically, the second clearance hole 1a allows one end of the limiting spring piece 12 to be hidden within it, while the other end extends into the first clearance hole 200a and abuts against its inner wall. That is, one end of the limiting spring piece 12 connects to the inner wall of the second clearance hole 1a, forming a fixed fulcrum, while the other end extends into the first clearance hole 200a, forming a free end. The free end abuts tightly against the inner wall of the first clearance hole 200a, thereby limiting the cable management post 100 in the vertical direction. When the cable management post 100 needs to be disassembled, simply move the limiting spring piece 12 horizontally to cause it to elastically deform and disengage from the inner wall of the first clearance hole 200a. At this time, the limiting spring piece 12 no longer limits the cable management post 100, and the cable management post 100 can be smoothly removed along the direction from the snap-fit hole 200b to the clearance hole.
[0051] The design of the second clearance hole 1a in this embodiment provides more space for the elastic deformation of the limiting spring 12, so that the limiting spring 12 can deform more freely when subjected to external force, thereby better adapting to different installation environments and operating requirements, preventing the limiting spring 12 from breaking due to low deformation capacity, and improving the service life of the limiting spring 12.
[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the fixing base 1, the cantilever 111, and the snap-fit boss 112 are integrally formed structures; and / or, the limiting spring piece 12 and the fixing base 1 are integrally formed structures; and / or, the fixing base 1, the column 2, and the baffle 3 are integrally formed structures.
[0053] In this embodiment, the fixing base 1, cantilever 111, and snap-fit boss 112 are integrally molded structures. This design not only enhances the strength and stability of the structure but also reduces the assembly process of parts, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. The integrally molded structure avoids the weak points that may exist in the connection parts of traditional split structures, making the entire cable management post 100 more robust and durable during use. For example, the cantilever 111 can better transmit force when subjected to external forces without affecting the overall performance due to loosening or breakage of the connection parts. At the same time, the integrally molded structure can be formed in one go through processes such as injection molding and casting, reducing the processing and assembly of parts, lowering production costs, reducing quality problems caused by improper assembly of parts, and improving the overall quality of the product.
[0054] Similarly, the limiting spring 12 and the fixing base 1 are integrally molded structures. For example, both the limiting spring 12 and the fixing base 1 are manufactured using injection molding. This further enhances the stability of the limiting spring 12. The limiting spring 12 needs to undergo frequent elastic deformation during use. The integrally molded structure ensures that it maintains good elastic performance after multiple uses, avoiding fatigue at the connection points that could affect its service life.
[0055] Similarly, the mounting base 1, column 2, and baffle 3 are integrally molded, making the main structure of the cable management post 100 more compact and stable. Column 2 and baffle 3 are the core components of the cable management post 100, used to fix and organize fiber optic patch cords. The integral molded structure not only improves the strength of column 2 and baffle 3 but also reduces the problem of fiber optic patch cords slipping off due to loose connections. The sidewalls of column 2 are curved to accommodate the bending requirements of optical fibers and prevent fiber damage; the area of baffle 3 is larger than the cross-sectional area of column 2, preventing optical fibers from slipping off column 2.
[0056] Through the aforementioned one-piece molding design, the cable management post 100 in this embodiment has significantly improved in terms of structural strength, production efficiency, and operational stability. At the same time, it reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, thereby lowering production costs.
[0057] Further, please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the column 2 is provided with a wave-like structure 21 on the side facing the cable management groove 100a. The wave-like structure 21 includes a plurality of alternately arranged limiting strips 211 and cable management grooves 21a.
[0058] In this embodiment, the undulating structure 21 of the column 2 is designed to better manage and fix fiber optic patch cords, especially when there are a large number of fibers. The undulating structure 21 consists of multiple alternately arranged limiting strips 211 and cable placement slots 21a. The limiting strips 211 are used to separate and fix the fibers, while the cable placement slots 21a provide independent space for the fibers. This design allows the fibers to be evenly distributed in each cable placement slot 21a, avoiding mutual compression and gravity concentration between fibers, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the connector 11 and improving the fiber organization effect.
[0059] Further, please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting strip 211 gradually contracts along the direction from the fixed seat 1 to the baffle 3, and the wire placement groove 21a gradually expands along the direction from the fixed seat 1 to the baffle 3.
[0060] In this embodiment, the limiting strip 211 gradually contracts along the direction from the fixing seat 1 to the baffle 3, while the cable placement groove 21a gradually expands. This design causes the top wall of the limiting strip 211 and the bottom wall of the cable placement groove 21a to form a slope or arc surface. When the optical fiber is placed in the cable placement groove 21a, under the influence of the optical fiber's own weight, the slope or arc surface can guide the optical fiber to naturally adhere to its shape, preventing the optical fiber from being messy or uneven in the cable placement groove 21a. At the same time, the side of the limiting strip 211 away from the slope forms a vertical end face. The design of the vertical end face increases the contact area between the limiting strip 211 and the optical fiber, thereby improving the anti-slip performance. When the optical fiber is placed in the cable placement groove 21a, the vertical end face can better restrict the movement of the optical fiber, preventing it from sliding or shifting in the cable placement groove 100a, further enhancing the fixing effect of the optical fiber.
[0061] Further, please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, a weight-reducing groove 2a is provided on the side of the column 2 facing away from the cable management groove 100a.
[0062] In this embodiment, by providing a weight-reducing groove 2a on the side of the column 2 facing away from the cable management channel 100a, the overall weight of the cable management column 100 is reduced, and material costs are also lowered. It is important to note that the structural strength and stability of the cable management column 100 must be maintained when providing the weight-reducing groove 2a. The specific structure and dimensions of the weight-reducing groove 2a can be designed according to actual needs; its shape can be rectangular, circular, or other suitable geometric shapes, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. The weight-reducing groove 2a is located on the side of the column 2 facing away from the cable management channel 100a. This side is almost never in close contact with the optical fiber during normal use; therefore, providing the weight-reducing groove 2a on this side will not affect the placement of the optical fiber.
[0063] Further, please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the weight reduction groove 2a is provided with a plurality of first ribs 22 and a plurality of second ribs 23, and the first ribs 22 and the second ribs 23 are arranged intersectingly.
[0064] In this embodiment, the first rib 22 and the second rib 23 arranged on the inner wall of the weight-reducing groove 2a cooperate with each other in a cross manner to form a grid-like structure. This grid structure can effectively disperse external forces and avoid a decrease in structural strength due to weight reduction. The shape of the ribs can be rectangular, triangular, or other suitable geometric shapes. By setting cross ribs in the weight-reducing groove 2a, the weight of the cable management post 100 can be reduced while maintaining its structural strength. This design makes the cable management post 100 lighter in use, without reducing its stability and reliability due to weight reduction.
[0065] This utility model also proposes an optical fiber distribution cabinet, which has a mounting panel 200 and cable management posts 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The mounting panel 200 is provided with a plurality of first clearance holes 200a and a plurality of snap-fit holes 200b, and each clearance hole communicates with a snap-fit hole 200b. The specific structure of the cable management post 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this optical fiber distribution cabinet adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0066] Among them, the mounting panel 200 is the inner wall of one side of the wiring cabinet, such as... Figure 8 As shown (only the mounting panel 200 and cable management post 100 are shown; the rest of the distribution cabinet structure is not shown), the multiple first clearance holes 200a and snap-fit holes 200b on the mounting panel 200 provide various options for fixing the cable management post 100. The appropriate location can be selected for fixing based on actual cabling needs and installation space. This flexibility better adapts to fiber optic cabling requirements in different scenarios, improving the versatility and applicability of the fiber optic distribution cabinet.
[0067] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
