Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of network switch auxiliary devices, specifically a modular network switch rack. Background Technology

[0002] Modular network switches are highly flexible and scalable network devices. Through modular design, users can dynamically adjust the functions, port types, and quantities of the switch according to actual needs. They are suitable for medium and large enterprises, data centers, or complex network environments, and have the advantages of low cost-effectiveness, high flexibility, and high reliability.

[0003] When using modular network switches, appropriate racks are required to place the switches and ensure their stability. However, existing racks still have shortcomings in actual use. Most existing rack partitions are connected and fixed to the support columns by bolts at the four corners. The height of the partition is adjusted by fixing it to different positions on the support columns with bolts. This fixing method requires operators to repeatedly tighten the bolts every time they adjust the position of the partition, which not only affects the adjustment efficiency of the partition but also increases the workload of the operators. Therefore, this method needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

Each of the four pillars has a vertically oriented insertion hole on its outer surface. A rod located beside the partition is movably fitted inside each insertion hole. One end of the rod near the partition penetrates the partition and extends into its interior, where a movable rod is fixedly installed. Two movable rods are provided, with their outer surfaces movably fitted to the left and right sides of the inner surface of the partition, respectively. The rear sides of the opposite surfaces of the two movable rods are... Each of the two movable rods is fixedly equipped with a second spring. A rectangular frame is fixedly installed in the middle of the opposite face of each of the two movable rods. There are two rectangular frames. A triangular block is movably fitted inside the two rectangular frames on one side near the center of the partition. A connecting rod is fixedly installed at the rear end of the triangular block. A round rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the front end of the connecting rod. The front end of the round rod passes through the partition and extends to the outside of the partition and is fixedly equipped with a pull ring. The rear end of the pull ring is movably connected to the front end of the partition. A first spring is fixedly installed in the middle of the front end of the connecting rod, located outside the round rod. The other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the partition.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both movable rods are movably fitted with limiting crossbars inside. The left and right ends of the limiting crossbars are fixedly connected to the rear of the inner walls of the left and right sides of the partition, respectively. Limiting vertical rods are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the middle front end of the limiting crossbars, respectively. The front end of the limiting vertical rods passes through the connecting rod and extends to the outside of the connecting rod and is fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the partition.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a base plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each of the four pillars, and omnidirectional wheels are movably installed at the four corners of the bottom end of the base plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a top plate is fixedly installed at the top of each of the four pillars, and a top frame is fixedly installed at the top of each top plate.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, T-shaped blocks are fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer side of the four pillars, and long rods are movably sleeved on the outer surface of the T-shaped blocks, with the outer surface of the long rods and the outer surface of the pillars being movably connected.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a diagonal rod is hinged to the top of the outer surface of the long rod facing the center of the partition, and a rectangular block is hinged to the top of the diagonal rod. There are two rectangular blocks, and the outer surfaces of the two rectangular blocks are respectively movably connected to the inner surface of the top frame.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a double-threaded rod is threadedly connected to the interior of the middle of each of the two rectangular blocks. The left and right ends of the double-threaded rod pass through the top frame and extend to the outside of the top frame, and a handle is fixedly connected to them. The outer surface of the handle is movably connected to the outer surface of the top frame. Limiting rods located on the front and rear sides of the double-threaded rod are movably connected to the interior of each of the two rectangular blocks. The left and right ends of the limiting rods are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the partition.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model, by setting up a plug rod, a movable rod, a rectangular frame, a triangular block, and a second spring, when the pull ring is pulled, the round rod, along with the connecting rod and the triangular block, will move outwards from the partition and compress the first spring. This causes the inclined surface of the triangular block to press against the inner wall of the rectangular frame, which in turn causes the rectangular frame, along with the movable rod and the plug rod, to move towards each other along the inner surface of the partition and compress the second spring until the plug rod and the insertion hole separate, releasing the plug rod from locking the position of the partition. At this point, the position of the partition can be adjusted without the need for bolts.

[0014] 2. This utility model, by setting up a T-shaped block, a long rod, a diagonal rod, a rectangular block, and a double-threaded rod, will cause the double-threaded rod to rotate when the handle is turned. Since the outer surface of the double-threaded rod and the inner surface of the rectangular block are threaded together, under the action of the double-threaded rod, the two rectangular blocks will move in opposite directions along the inner surface of the top frame, respectively, with the top end of the diagonal rod. This will cause the other end of the diagonal rod to generate a thrust on the long rod, pushing the long rod to move along the outer surface of the T-shaped block, thereby lifting the casters off the ground, thus eliminating the need for operators to lock the casters one by one.

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a modular network switch rack, including a partition 1. Four support pillars 2 are movably connected to the four corners of the outer surface of the partition 1. Each of the four support pillars 2 has a vertically oriented insertion hole 3 on its outer surface. An insertion rod 4 located beside the partition 1 is movably fitted inside the insertion hole 3. One end of the insertion rod 4 near the partition 1 penetrates the partition 1 and extends into the interior of the partition 1, where a movable rod 5 is fixedly installed. Two movable rods 5 are provided, with their outer surfaces movably fitted to the left and right sides of the inner surface of the partition 1, respectively. A second spring is fixedly installed on the rear side of each opposite side of the two movable rods 5. Spring 25, two rectangular frames 6 are fixedly installed in the middle of the opposite sides of the two movable rods 5, and there are two rectangular frames 6. Triangular blocks 7 are movably sleeved on the side of the two rectangular frames 6 near the center of the partition 1. A connecting rod 8 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the triangular block 7. A round rod 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front end of the connecting rod 8. The front end of the round rod 9 passes through the partition 1 and extends to the outside of the partition 1 and is fixedly installed with a pull ring 10. The rear end of the pull ring 10 is movably connected to the front end of the partition 1. A first spring 11 located outside the round rod 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front end of the connecting rod 8. The other end of the first spring 11 is fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the partition 1.

[0023] When the pull ring 10 is pulled, it will move along with the round rod 9 and the connecting rod 8, compressing the first spring 11. This causes the triangular block 7 to move along with the connecting rod 8. Since the outer surface of the triangular block 7 is inclined on the side facing the center of the partition 1 and the inclined surface is movably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular frame 6, as the triangular block 7 moves, the inclined surface of the triangular block 7 will squeeze the rectangular frame 6. This causes the two rectangular frames 6 to move towards each other with the movable rod 5 and the insertion rod 4 respectively, compressing the second spring 25. This causes the insertion rod 4 to separate from the insertion hole 3, releasing the locking of the insertion rod 4 to the position of the partition 1. At this time, the position of the partition 1 can be adjusted without the need for bolts.

[0024] Among them, the two movable rods 5 are movably sleeved with limiting crossbars 12. The left and right ends of the limiting crossbars 12 are fixedly connected to the rear of the inner walls of the left and right sides of the partition 1, respectively. The left and right sides of the middle front end of the limiting crossbars 12 are fixedly installed with limiting vertical rods 13. The front end of the limiting vertical rods 13 passes through the connecting rod 8 and extends to the outside of the connecting rod 8 and is fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the partition 1.

[0025] The presence of the limiting horizontal bar 12 will limit the movement of the movable bar 5, and at the same time, it can also support and fix the limiting vertical bar 13. The presence of the limiting vertical bar 13 can limit the movement of the connecting bar 8.

[0026] Each of the four pillars 2 has a base plate 14 fixedly installed at its bottom end, and four corners of the bottom end of the base plate 14 are movably installed with casters 15.

[0027] The presence of four casters 15 will facilitate the movement of the network switch rack by operators, thereby improving its mobility.

[0028] Among them, the top of each of the four pillars 2 is fixedly installed with a top plate 16, and the top of the top plate 16 is fixedly installed with a top frame 17.

[0029] The presence of the top plate 16 and the top frame 17 will serve to support and fix the device, thereby enhancing the robustness of the network switch rack.

[0030] Among them, T-shaped blocks 18 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer side of the four pillars 2, and long rods 19 are movably sleeved on the outer surface of the T-shaped blocks 18, and the outer surface of the long rods 19 is movably connected to the outer surface of the pillars 2.

[0031] Both the outer surface of the T-block 18 and the inner surface of the long rod 19 are smooth, thus ensuring that the long rod 19 will not get stuck when it moves along the outer surface of the T-block 18.

[0032] Among them, the top of the outer surface of the long rod 19 facing the center of the partition 1 is hinged with a diagonal rod 20, and the top of the diagonal rod 20 is hinged with a rectangular block 21. There are two rectangular blocks 21, and the outer surfaces of the two rectangular blocks 21 are respectively movably connected to the inner surface of the top frame 17.

[0033] When the two rectangular blocks 21 move in opposite directions along the inner surface of the top frame 17 with the diagonal rod 20, the other end of the diagonal rod 20 will exert a pushing force on the long rod 19, pushing the long rod 19 to move along the outer surface of the T-block 18.

[0034] Among them, the inner part of the middle of the two rectangular blocks 21 is threaded with double threaded rods 22. The left and right ends of the double threaded rods 22 pass through the top frame 17 and extend to the outside of the top frame 17 and are fixedly sleeved with handles 23. The outer surface of the handles 23 is movably connected to the outer surface of the top frame 17. The inner parts of the two rectangular blocks 21 are movably sleeved with limiting rods 24 located on the front and rear sides of the double threaded rods 22. The left and right ends of the limiting rods 24 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the partition 1, respectively.

[0035] When the handle 23 is turned, the double threaded rod 22 will rotate, causing the two rectangular blocks 21 that are threadedly connected to the double threaded rod 22 to move in opposite directions with the inclined rod 20 respectively.

[0036] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0037] In use, the operator first pushes the frame to the designated position, then turns the handle 23 to rotate the double threaded rod 22. This causes the two rectangular blocks 21, which are threadedly connected to the double threaded rod 22, to move in opposite directions along the outer surface of the limiting rod 24, with one end of the inclined rod 20. This causes the other end of the inclined rod 20 to exert a pushing force on the long rod 19, pushing the long rod 19 downward along the outer surface of the T-block 18, thereby lifting the caster 15 off the ground without the need for the operator to lock the caster 15 one by one.

[0038] After the frame is in place, if the position of the partition 1 needs to be adjusted, the operator pulls the pull ring 10. This causes the pull ring 10 to move along the outer surface of the limiting vertical rod 13 via the round rod 9, carrying the connecting rod 8 and the triangular block 7, and compressing the first spring 11. This causes the inclined surface of the triangular block 7 to press against the inner wall of the rectangular frame 6. At this time, driven by the rectangular frame 6, the two movable rods 5 will move towards each other along the outer surface of the limiting horizontal rod 12, respectively, and compress the second spring 25. This causes the insert rod 4 to separate from the insertion hole 3. The operator can then adjust the position of the partition 1. After the partition 1 is adjusted, the operator releases the pull ring 10, causing the connecting rod 8 to return to its original position under the restoring action of the first spring 11. The movable rods 5 and the insert rod 4 also return to their original positions under the restoring action of the second spring 25, allowing the insert rod 4 to be inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 3. This allows the position of the partition 1 to be adjusted and fixed without the need for bolts.
