Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model pertains to socket boxes that carry electrical components in electrical systems, specifically relating to a socket box mounting base. Background Technology

[0002] The junction box is the physical carrier that holds electrical components, used to support or protect the entire equipment. Currently, the industry-standard sheet metal junction boxes have the following problems:

[0003] 1. Low integration level: The entire plug-in box is usually composed of more than ten structural components, especially the top and bottom plug-in guide rail plates used for installing plug-in components. These generally include a mounting base plate and several guide rails mounted on it, which are connected and fixed by connectors. There are many types of parts, and the assembly is relatively complicated. Long-term use of the connectors will cause them to loosen, which will also lead to the overall loosening.

[0004] 2. When heat dissipation is required and a fan module is configured, the enclosure needs to be added separately at the top and / or bottom with a certain height (1U).

[0005] To address the two issues mentioned above, existing technologies include solutions such as CN201789705U and CN211406545U, but these only involve integrally molding the guide rail, resulting in a relatively low overall integration level.

[0006] 3. The installation interface is limited, and it can only be installed in a specific rack. It cannot be installed independently outside the rack when independent use is required.

[0007] 4. At the rear end of the connector box and before the rear cover, there is usually a motherboard for the equipment. The existing rear cover structure is often a single square flat plate. The rear ends of the side plates, top plates, and bottom plates of the connector box extend inward with fixing ears. The fixing ears are fixed to the rear cover plate with bolts. In the above structure: on the one hand, the presence of fixing ears will make the installation of the motherboard inconvenient and easy to be interfered with or even cut by the fixing ears; on the other hand, the square flat plate rear cover structure has low structural strength, especially when bearing a large number of connectors, it is easy to deform. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the aforementioned problem 3 and to solve the issue that existing sockets can only be installed in specific server racks and cannot be installed independently outside of racks, this utility model provides a socket mounting base.

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is achieved in the following manner: a plug box mounting base includes two mounting rods 5 fixed to both sides of the plug box, and a base bracket 7 cooperating with the two mounting rods 5. The base bracket 7 includes a supporting beam 71, and a sliding bracket 72 is fixed to each end of the supporting beam 71. The mounting rods 5 are slidably mounted on the sliding brackets 72. Limiting slide rails 721 extend upward from the outer side of the sliding brackets 72. A sliding groove 51 cooperating with the limiting slide rail 721 is provided on the side of the mounting rods 5. An interlocking structure is provided between the rear end of the sliding brackets 72 and the mounting rods 5. A baffle 73 is detachably fixed to the front end of the base bracket 7.

[0010] Furthermore, the front end of the sliding bracket 72 is fixedly connected to the first limiting slot 722, and the front end of the mounting rod 5 is provided with a first limiting insert 52 that cooperates with the first limiting slot 722.

[0011] Furthermore, a first locking ramp that slopes downward from front to back is provided in the first limiting slot 722, and the first limiting insert 52 cooperates with the first locking ramp.

[0012] Furthermore, a second limiting block 723 is provided at the front end of the limiting slide rail 721, and a second limiting slot 511 that cooperates with the second limiting block 723 is provided at the front end of the slide groove 51.

[0013] Furthermore, the front end of the second limiting insert 723 is provided with a second locking slope that slopes downward from front to back, and the second limiting slot 511 cooperates with the second locking slope.

[0014] Furthermore, the base bracket 7 is provided with at least two fixing holes 8.

[0015] Compared to existing technologies, this utility model features a dedicated mounting base designed for the insertion box, enabling independent installation outside the cabinet. Attached Figure Description

[0033] 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.

[0034] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0035] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, an integrated plug-in box structure includes a plug-in box body structure formed by two side plates 3, two plug-in slot plates 1, and a rear cover plate 2. The front opening of the plug-in box is for plug-in insertion. The plug-in slot plate 1 includes a cover plate 11, the top of the cover plate 11 protruding upward to form a support step 12, and the top of the support step 12 forming a plug-in slot structure 13 for installing plug-in. The cover plate 11, the support step 12, and the plug-in slot structure 13 are integrally machined. The top of the cover plate 11 protruding upward to form the support step 12 is to form a heat dissipation cavity 14 at the bottom of the cover plate 11 that connects to the plug-in slot structure 13, that is, to leave space for the installation of the heat dissipation module 15. The heat dissipation module 15 is installed in the heat dissipation cavity 14 and can be detachably fixed to the cover plate 11.

[0036] The above describes the lower cover. The upper cover is the symmetrical component of the lower cover, and their connection structure is the same as that of the lower cover. Compared with the industry's common sheet metal structure insert box, the integrated upper and lower cover plates adopt an integrated design, allowing a single part to replace the original cover plate, crossbeam, and guide rail. It has functions such as supporting structure, installing inserts, and convection heat dissipation, significantly reducing the number of parts and simplifying structural assembly.

[0037] Further details are attached. Figure 4-6 As shown, the bottom of the cover plate 11 is recessed to form an embedded recess 16. The heat dissipation module 15 includes a mounting plate 151 that mates with the embedded recess 16. Preferably, the shape of the embedded recess 16 fits the outer periphery of the mounting plate 151, and the depth of the embedded recess 16 is equal to the thickness of the mounting plate 151, so that the bottom of the cover plate 11 is flat after the mounting plate 151 is installed. At least one fan module 152 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 151. The fan module 152 and its mounting structure are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. Through holes are provided on the mounting plate 151 at positions corresponding to the fan module 152 for airflow to pass through, and dustproof mesh 153 is covered on the through holes.

[0038] Further details are attached. Figure 4-5As shown, the plug-in slot structure 13 refers to the formation of spaced protrusions 131 on the top of the support step 12. The gap between adjacent protrusions 131 forms a slot. The slot preferably has a flared structure at both ends to facilitate the insertion of the plug-in. A strip-shaped through hole 132 is provided on the top of the protrusion 131 along the length of the protrusion 131. The strip-shaped through hole 132 is used to connect the inside of the plug box and the heat dissipation cavity 14 to achieve heat dissipation.

[0039] Furthermore, the supporting step 12 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rear cover plate 2 with an insulating strip 17 facing rearward.

[0040] Further details are attached. Figure 7 As shown, the front end of the support step 12 away from the rear cover plate 2 is provided with a T-shaped groove 18 that opens forward. The T-shaped groove 18 is fixedly connected with screw hole strips 19, which are connected to each other by standard parts. The screw hole strips 19 are provided with mounting screw holes at intervals.

[0041] To address the problems at the rear cover connection mentioned in the background art, a rear cover plate connection structure for inserting a box is proposed here, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1-3 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the left and right sides of the rear cover plate 2 respectively form first bending edges 21 forward, and the top and bottom of the rear cover plate 2 respectively form second bending edges 22 forward. Each second bending edge 22 extends a limiting piece 221 to the left and right sides respectively.

[0042] The two side plates 3 extend backward by the first extension 31, so that when the rear cover plate 2 is not installed, the rear frame opening of the insertion box is U-shaped (the upper and lower insertion slot plates 1 are shorter than the left and right side plates 3), which is very convenient for the installation of the equipment motherboard. The upper and lower sides of the first extension 31 form step structures 311 inward on the upper and lower sides, which are used to cooperate with the limiting piece 221.

[0043] The first extensions 31 of the two side plates 3 clamp the first bent edges 21 on the left and right sides of the rear cover plate 2. The first extensions 31 and the first bent edges 21 are fixedly connected by a connector, preferably a bolt. The front end of the second bent edge 22 abuts against the rear end of the plug-in slot plate 1. The limiting piece 221 abuts against the step structure 311, so that each first extension 31 is clamped by two limiting pieces 221 on the upper and lower sides. The limiting piece 221 at the end of the second bent edge 22 can cooperate with the step structure 311 to achieve limiting when the rear cover plate 2 is inserted into the frame opening, which improves the installation accuracy and efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, a forward-extending second extension 222 is fixedly connected to the inner front end of each of the second bent edges 22, and two plug-in slot plates 1 clamp the second extensions 222 of the two second bent edges 22. The two are preferably further fixed by bolts, so that the top and bottom can also be plugged in.

[0045] Furthermore, a handle 23 is fixedly connected to the rear part of the rear cover plate 2 for easy insertion and removal.

[0046] During equipment assembly, firstly, the fan and circuit adapter board are installed in the mounting plate 151 of the upper and lower plug-in slot plates 1 of the plug box; secondly, the rear cover plate 2 of the plug box is removed, and the back plate and electrical components are installed on it; then, the motherboard is installed from the rear of the plug box, placed on the insulating strip 17 of the upper and lower plug-in slot plates 1 and secured, and the lead wire of the fan module 152 is plugged into the motherboard; next, the rear cover module (the combination of rear cover plate 2, back plate and electrical components) is reinstalled and plugged into the motherboard; finally, the equipment plug-in is inserted from the front of the plug box.

[0047] To address the issue of limited installation interfaces mentioned in the background section, two pre-drilled, preferably 13.8mm*6.8mm, waist-shaped through holes are reserved on the left and right side panels 3 of the cabinet to meet the requirements of existing cabinet installation technology.

[0048] Additionally, two or more threaded through holes are pre-drilled on each of the left and right side plates 3 of the insertion box, preferably the three M5 threaded through holes shown in the figure.

[0049] A mounting base for a plug-in box is proposed, and the mounting base can be as follows: Figure 9 The simple mounting base shown includes a quadrilateral frame structure, which is supported at the bottom of the insertion box. Ear plates extend upward from both sides of the quadrilateral frame structure. The ear plates are provided with fixing holes that match the threaded through holes reserved on the left and right side plates 3 of the insertion box. The quadrilateral frame structure is installed and fixed to the ground or other equipment by bolts.

[0050] However, a more convenient insertion box mounting base is proposed, as shown in the attached document. Figure 10-11 As shown, the device includes two mounting rods 5 fixed to the side plates 3 on both sides of the insertion box. The top of each mounting rod 5 is preferably L-shaped, with fixing holes on the sides for mounting to mate with pre-drilled threaded holes on the side plates 3. The bottom edge of the L-shape supports the insertion box. The device also includes a base bracket 7 that mates with the two mounting rods 5. The base bracket 7 includes a supporting beam 71, with at least one supporting beam 71, preferably two as shown in the figure, to form a more stable quadrilateral frame with the sliding bracket 72. A sliding bracket 7 is fixed to each end of the supporting beam 71. 2. The mounting rod 5 is slidably mounted on the sliding bracket 72; the outer side of the sliding bracket 72 extends upward from the limiting slide rail 721 respectively, and the side of the mounting rod 5 is provided with a slide groove 51 that cooperates with the limiting slide rail 721. The two mounting rods 5 on the insertion box are clamped and fixed inside the limiting slide rail 721 on both sides through the slide groove 51, that is, the limiting is formed on the left and right sides. The top of the sliding bracket 72 body abuts against the bottom of the mounting rod 5 body to form support. An interlocking structure is provided between the rear end of the sliding bracket 72 and the mounting rod 5. The front end of the base bracket 7 is detachably fixed with a baffle 73.

[0051] Furthermore, the front end of the sliding bracket 72 is fixedly connected to the first limiting slot 722, and the front end of the mounting rod 5 is provided with a first limiting plug 52 that cooperates with the first limiting slot 722. The first limiting slot 722 is provided with a first locking slope that slopes downward from front to back. The first limiting plug 52 cooperates with the first locking slope to form upper and lower limits after it is in place.

[0052] Furthermore, a second limiting block 723 is provided at the front end of the limiting slide rail 721, and a second limiting slot 511 is provided at the front end of the slide groove 51 to cooperate with the second limiting block 723. The front end of the second limiting block 723 is provided with a second locking slope that slopes downward from front to back, and the second limiting slot 511 cooperates with the second locking slope to form upper and lower limits after being in place.

[0053] When the first limiting slot 722 engages with the first limiting plug 52, the second limiting plug 723 also engages with the second limiting slot 511. The two sides of the plug box are more stable through the engagement of two sets of structures.

[0054] The base bracket 7 is provided with at least two fixing holes 8 for installation and fixing to the ground or other equipment.

[0055] When assembling the mounting base, first, install the left and right mounting rods 5 on the insertion box (after the horizontal positioning strips of the left and right mounting rods 5 are in contact with the lower surface of the insertion box, align the fixing holes of the insertion box on the mounting rods 5 with the nut holes on the side of the insertion box, and then tighten them); second, fix the base bracket 7 in a certain required position; then, guide the insertion box with the left (right) mounting rods 5 into the sliding groove structure on the base bracket 7, which is composed of the sliding brackets 72 on both sides and the limiting slide rails 721; finally, align and tighten the baffle 73 to seal the inlet end and form a limit.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the overall concept of the present utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
