Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of SPN equipment technology, specifically relating to a slice packet network SPN device. Background Technology
[0002] SPN (Slicing Packet Network) is a next-generation converged bearer network architecture based on a sliced Ethernet core, offering advantages such as low latency, high bandwidth, ultra-high precision synchronization, and flexible management and control. SPN devices are primarily used to provide intelligent leased network services, enabling data transmission and exchange. They support various network connection types, such as Ethernet and fiber optics, and provide efficient and stable data transmission services.
[0003] However, in actual deployments, SPN devices require a significant number of cables to connect. When SPN devices are placed in a server rack, cable management primarily relies on the rack's cable management system. However, depending on the deployment scenario, SPN devices may be deployed separately. In this case, due to the lack of a server rack's cable management structure, and the existing SPN devices themselves lacking or being unable to be equipped with cable management structures, the cable bundles connected to the SPN devices become chaotic. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a sliced packet network (SPN) device to solve the problem of messy cable harnesses when connecting cables to the SPN device. To achieve the above objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A slice packet network (SPN) device includes a chassis, a cooling fan, a capacity disk, and a power input disk. Two mounting plates are arranged along the height direction on both sides of the front end of the chassis. Cable management mechanisms are detachably connected to the two mounting plates and are symmetrically arranged. Each cable management mechanism includes a connecting plate detachably connected to the mounting plate and a cable management section perpendicular to and integral with the connecting plate. The cable management section consists of several cable management posts spaced apart along the height direction of the connecting plate. A cable groove is formed between any two adjacent cable management posts to hold the cables.
[0006] Furthermore, preferably, the cable management section also includes a T-shaped limiting member that can be detachably installed at the end of the cable management post, used to block the cable groove and prevent the cable from sliding out of the cable groove.
[0007] Furthermore, preferably, the bottom end of the T-shaped limiting member is a sleeve structure, which can be directly inserted into the end of the cable management post to achieve quick installation and disassembly.
[0008] Furthermore, preferably, the overlapping portions of the T-shaped limiting member and the cable management post are provided with through holes, which can be further enhanced by bolt connection to improve the stability of the connection.
[0009] Furthermore, preferably, the mounting plate has a plurality of mounting holes, and the connecting plate has connecting holes that correspond one-to-one with the mounting holes. The mounting plate and the connecting plate can be firmly connected by bolts passing through the mounting holes and connecting holes.
[0010] Furthermore, preferably, the cable management mechanism also includes several U-shaped cable management rods that are detachably installed between the two connecting plates.
[0011] Furthermore, preferably, the U-shaped cable management rod is connected between two connecting plates via a snap-fit part. The snap-fit parts are symmetrically arranged on the two connecting plates, and a slot is provided in the center of each snap-fit part. Both the snap-fit part and the slot are perpendicular to the connecting plate. The two ends of the U-shaped cable management rod can be connected between the two connecting plates by inserting them into the two symmetrical slots.
[0012] Furthermore, preferably, the inner side of the horizontal section of the U-shaped cable management rod is provided with a number of cable clamping parts at intervals. The cable clamping parts are integral with the U-shaped cable management rod, and their inner side is provided with cable clamping grooves along the height direction for clamping cables.
[0013] Furthermore, preferably, the cable clamp is made of a deformable plastic material, which has a certain degree of elasticity, making it easy to insert and fix the cable.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a flexible and efficient cable management solution for sliced packet network (SPN) equipment through its innovative detachable cable management mechanism and U-shaped cable management rod design. This design not only allows for flexible adjustment of cable management methods according to the equipment deployment scenario (such as rack-mounted or independent deployment), avoiding cable clutter, but also significantly improves equipment maintenance efficiency and reduces troubleshooting time caused by cable issues. Simultaneously, the clear cable layout enhances the operational stability of the equipment and reduces the risk of short circuits or poor contact. Furthermore, this design optimizes space utilization, making the interior and surrounding space of the equipment chassis more neat and orderly. Overall, this utility model not only reduces the cost of equipment use and maintenance but also improves equipment performance and user experience, demonstrating significant practicality and innovation.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a Slice Packet Network (SPN) device, including a chassis 1, a cooling fan 2, a capacity disk 3, and a power input disk 4, etc. These components are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The core innovation of this embodiment lies in designing a detachable cable management mechanism for the SPN device to effectively manage and secure cables.
[0024] like Figure 1As shown, two mounting plates 5 are installed on both sides of the front end of the SPN device's chassis 1, along its height. The mounting plates 5 serve two purposes: first, they connect and secure the SPN device to the cabinet when it is placed in the cabinet; second, they are used to install cable management mechanisms 6. Specifically, two cable management mechanisms 6 are symmetrically and detachably connected to the two mounting plates 5. This allows for easy cable management and securing, keeping the cables neat and tidy, when the SPN device is used independently. In use, when the SPN device is placed in a cabinet, the cable management mechanisms 6 can be removed, utilizing the cabinet's built-in cable management structure to ensure compatibility with existing cabinet systems. When the SPN device is deployed independently, installing the cable management mechanisms 6 enables effective cable management, adapting to various deployment scenarios.
[0025] The cable management mechanism 6 is the core component of this embodiment, and its structure is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cable management mechanism 6 includes a connecting plate 7 detachably connected to the mounting plate 5, a cable management section 8 perpendicular to and integral with the connecting plate 7, and several U-shaped cable management rods 9 detachably installed between the two connecting plates 7. The cable management section 8 and the U-shaped cable management rods 9 form the main structure of the cable management mechanism 6, which can comb and fix cables from multiple directions, keeping the cables clear and neat.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment uses the cable management section 8 to constrain the cable in the longitudinal direction. Specifically, the cable management section 8 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 5 via a connecting plate 7. The specific structure is as follows: the mounting plate 5 has several mounting holes 501, and the connecting plate 7 has corresponding connecting holes 701. Bolts are used to connect the mounting plate 5 and the connecting plate 7 through the mounting holes 501 and the connecting holes 701. This achieves a detachable connection between the cable management section 8 and the mounting plate 5. The cable management section 8 consists of several cable management posts 801 spaced apart along the height of the connecting plate 7, with a cable groove 802 formed between any two adjacent cable management posts 801. During cable management, the cable can be inserted into the cable groove 802, thereby achieving longitudinal fixation of the cable.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the cable management unit 8 further includes a T-shaped limiting member 803 detachably mounted on the end of the cable management post 801. The detachable connection between the two can be achieved through insertion, meaning the bottom end of the T-shaped limiting member 803 is a sleeve structure that can be directly inserted into the end of the cable management post 801. To further improve the stability of the connection, such as... Figure 3As shown, through holes 804 are provided at the overlapping parts of the T-shaped limiting member 803 and the cable management post 801, allowing for fastening via bolts. The horizontal end of the T-shaped limiting member 803 can block the ports of the two cable grooves 802 on both sides of the cable management post 801, thus preventing the cables stuck in the cable grooves 802 from slipping out. The number of T-shaped limiting members 803 can be flexibly configured according to the actual wiring and cable management situation.
[0028] like Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment uses a U-shaped cable management rod 9 to constrain the cable in the lateral direction. Specifically, the U-shaped cable management rod 9 is connected between two connecting plates 7 via snap-fit parts 10. The snap-fit parts 10 are symmetrically arranged in pairs on the two connecting plates 7, so that the U-shaped cable management rod 9 is horizontally arranged after connection. A snap-fit groove 11 is opened in the center of the snap-fit part 10, and the whole part is cylindrical and set perpendicular to the connecting plate 7. The two ends of the U-shaped cable management rod 9 are inserted into the two symmetrical snap-fit grooves 11 to securely connect it between the two connecting plates 7. At the same time, in order to facilitate the constraint and fixation of the cable, a certain gap is reserved between the horizontal section of the U-shaped cable management rod 9 and the front side of the chassis 1. The size of the gap depends on the length of the longitudinal section of the U-shaped cable management rod 9, and is not particularly limited here. When wiring, the cable is arranged along the U-shaped cable management rod 9, and the cable tie is used to bind the cable to the U-shaped cable management rod 9.
[0029] As a further optimization of this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner side of the horizontal section of the U-shaped cable management rod 9 is provided with several cable clamping parts 12 at intervals. Here, the inner side refers to the side of the U-shaped cable management rod 9 facing the front of the chassis 1. The cable clamping parts 12 are integral with the U-shaped cable management rod 9, and their inner surfaces are provided with cable clamping grooves 13 along the height direction. The cable clamping parts 12 are made of deformable plastic material and have a cubic structure. The cable clamping grooves 13 are circular grooves with notches at their ends. Cables are inserted into the cable clamping grooves 13 through these notches, thereby achieving effective cable restraint.
[0030] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific and preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
