[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4 The bracket shown is for installing network equipment in a server rack. It includes a bracket body 1, a first electric cylinder 2 fixedly installed on the inner side of the bracket body 1, and a first support plate 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the first electric cylinder 2 through a first connector 16. A sliding groove 15 is opened on the inner side of the bracket body 1, and the first support plate 3 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 15. A second support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the bracket body 1. A movable groove 5 is opened on the inner side of the second support plate 4, and a third support plate 6 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 5. The third support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 3.

[0029] Specifically, during use, the first electric cylinder 2 can be activated. Since the output end of the first electric cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 3 via the first connector 16, it can push the first support plate 3 to slide within the sliding groove 15, thereby changing the distance between the two first support plates 3 to facilitate support for network devices of different sizes. Additionally, a second support plate 4 is fixedly installed inside the bracket body 1, supporting the network device placed between the two first support plates 3. Furthermore, because the first support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the third support plate 6, the movement of the first support plate 3 will drive the movement of the third support plate 6, allowing the third support plate 6 to adjust according to the size of the network device and support it. In summary, the first support plate 3, second support plate 4, and third support plate 6 in this invention can effectively support network devices of different sizes.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 There are two first trays 3, and each first tray 3 has a fixed plate 7 fixedly connected to its top.

[0031] With a fixing plate 7 fixedly connected to the top of the first tray 3, the output end of the first electric cylinder 2 retracts inward, causing the fixing plate 7 fixedly connected to the top of the first tray 3 to move toward the network device and clamp and fix the network device.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The inner side of the fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the first rubber plate 8.

[0033] By fixing a first rubber plate 8 to the inside of the fixing plate 7, the first rubber plate 8 directly contacts the network device, reducing the possibility of dents or damage to the network device during the clamping process.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-2 The outer wall of the third support plate 6 is fixedly installed with a second electric cylinder 9, and the output end of the second electric cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 10 through the second connector 17.

[0035] When the second electric cylinder 9, which is fixedly installed on the outer side of the third support plate 6, is activated, the output end of the second electric cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 10 through the second connector 17. Therefore, the limiting plate 10 will move towards the inner wall of the bracket body 1 and squeeze and limit the first support plate 3. The second rubber plate 11 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate 10 can enhance the pre-tightening strength.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 A second rubber plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the limiting plate 10.

[0037] By fixing a second rubber plate 11 to the outside of the limiting plate 10, the second rubber plate 11 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate 10 can enhance the pre-tightening strength between the limiting plate 10 and the bracket body 1.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The outer wall of the bracket body 1 is provided with multiple wire grooves 12, which are arranged in a rectangular shape.

[0039] By providing multiple wire grooves 12 on the outer wall of the bracket body 1, it is convenient to perform wiring operations on the electronic components inside the bracket body 1.

[0040] Reference Figures 1-2 A mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bracket body 1, and a mounting hole 14 is provided on the inner side of the mounting plate 13.

[0041] The mounting plate 13, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bracket body 1, can be mated with the partition of the cabinet. Then, threaded holes corresponding to the mounting holes 14 are opened on the cabinet and fixed installation is achieved by bolts.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] In use, this invention can activate the first electric cylinder 2. Since the output end of the first electric cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 3 via the first connector 16, it can push the first support plate 3 to slide within the sliding groove 15, thereby changing the distance between the two first support plates 3 to facilitate support for network devices of different sizes. Additionally, a second support plate 4 is fixedly installed inside the bracket body 1, supporting the network device placed between the two first support plates 3. Furthermore, because the first support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the third support plate 6, the movement of the first support plate 3 will cause the third support plate 6 to move, allowing the third support plate 6 to adjust according to the size of the network device and support it. In summary, the first support plate 3, second support plate 4, and third support plate 6 in this invention can effectively support network devices of different sizes.

[0044] After the dimensions of the inner tray of the bracket body 1 are adjusted, the network device is placed on the first tray 3, the second tray 4, and the third tray 6. Then, the output end of the first electric cylinder 2 retracts inward, causing the fixing plate 7, which is fixedly connected to the top of the first tray 3, to move towards the network device and clamp and fix it. In addition, because the inner side of the fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the first rubber plate 8, the first rubber plate 8 directly contacts the network device, reducing the possibility of dents or damage to the network device during clamping. Next, the second electric cylinder 9, which is fixedly installed on the outer side of the third tray 6, is activated. Because the output end of the second electric cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 10 through the second connector 17, the limiting plate 10 moves towards the inner wall of the bracket body 1 and squeezes and limits the first tray 3. The second rubber plate 11, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate 10, can enhance the pre-tightening strength between the limiting plate 10 and the bracket body 1.

[0045] Finally, place the bracket body 1 with the network equipment installed inside the cabinet, so that the mounting plate 13 fixedly connected to the outside of the bracket body 1 is aligned with the partition of the cabinet. Then, threaded holes corresponding to the mounting holes 14 are made on the cabinet and fixed installation is achieved by bolts.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
