Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of testing tool technology, and in particular relates to a rapid inspection tool for network cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] In modern data centers and network communication facilities, network cabinets serve as the core carriers for housing and protecting various network devices, making their quality and installation accuracy crucial. The spacing between cabinet columns, the hole spacing of equipment mounting holes, and their levelness are key dimensions affecting equipment compatibility, installation efficiency, and system stability. Deviations in these dimensions can lead to difficulties in equipment installation and reduced deployment efficiency; in severe cases, they may cause equipment malfunction or even damage due to improper stress, resulting in significant economic losses and resource waste. Therefore, accurate and efficient inspection of these critical dimensions during the manufacturing and on-site installation of network cabinets is essential to ensuring product quality and successful installation.

[0003] However, existing methods for inspecting critical dimensions of network cabinets generally have many limitations. Traditionally, production lines and installation sites often use calipers, measuring tapes, and other general measuring tools for manual measurement. This method is inefficient and labor-intensive when facing mass production, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern production. More importantly, manual measurement is easily affected by various factors such as operator experience, measurement angle, and reading errors, making it difficult to guarantee measurement accuracy and consistency. For example, measuring tapes may accumulate errors due to wear or deformation after prolonged and high-frequency use; calipers are limited in confined spaces, making the measurement process complex and time-consuming. In addition, these general tools often only allow for single-point or local dimension measurements, making it impossible to quickly and continuously assess the spacing consistency of the entire column, and also making it difficult to intuitively determine the horizontal alignment of mounting holes.

[0004] Due to the inherent defects of existing testing methods, dimensional deviations often lead to installation obstacles and even cabinet scrapping during the production and assembly of network cabinets. Faced with huge market demand and increasingly stringent quality standards, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can overcome the drawbacks of traditional measurement methods, significantly improve testing efficiency, ensure measurement accuracy, and effectively address the continuous detection of column spacing and the judgment of mounting hole horizontal alignment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a rapid inspection tool for network cabinets.

[0006] A network cabinet rapid inspection tool, comprising:

[0007] The fixture body includes a longitudinal web and a first detection flange and a second detection flange extending from opposite longitudinal edges of the longitudinal web, and the fixture body also includes end detection pieces integrally formed at both ends of the longitudinal web;

[0008] At least one pair of detection pins are respectively installed on the two end detection plates, and their center distance is preset to a standard equipment mounting hole distance;

[0009] A level, mounted on the longitudinal web, is adapted to indicate horizontal alignment when the detection pin is inserted into the mounting hole of the device to be tested.

[0010] Furthermore, the first detection flange and the second detection flange extend from the longitudinal web in opposite directions, so that the cross-section of the inspection fixture body has a Z-shaped profile.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer edge of the first detection flange is configured to detect the positive tolerance of the spacing between the network cabinet columns, and the outer edge of the second detection flange is configured to detect the negative tolerance of the spacing between the columns.

[0012] Furthermore, visual marks for distinguishing positive and negative tolerance detection are respectively provided on the surfaces of the first and second detection flanges.

[0013] Furthermore, the end detection piece is coplanar with the longitudinal web.

[0014] Furthermore, the axis of each of the aforementioned detection pins is perpendicular to the surface of the end detection piece on which it is mounted, and they are parallel to each other.

[0015] Furthermore, the level is a magnetic level, and the longitudinal web is made of a ferromagnetic material so that the level can be detachably attached to it.

[0016] Furthermore, the level is a digital level and is installed at the longitudinal midpoint of the longitudinal web.

[0017] Furthermore, the main body of the inspection tool is formed by integral stamping and bending of a single metal sheet.

[0018] Furthermore, the detection spacing defined by the first and second detection flanges, as well as the center distance of the detection pins, are preset to fit the dimensions of a 19-inch or 21-inch standard network cabinet.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention provides a rapid inspection tool for network cabinets. By integrating three core functions—column spacing detection, equipment mounting hole distance verification, and levelness judgment—into a simple and easy-to-operate tool body, it fundamentally solves the technical problems of low efficiency, unstable accuracy, and limited functionality of traditional measurement methods. The operator can achieve continuous and rapid screening of column spacing by sliding the tool's detection flange along the columns, effectively avoiding missed detections of local deviations. Simultaneously, by using the detection pins on the tool to test-install equipment mounting holes, it can not only efficiently confirm whether the hole spacing meets the standards, but also simultaneously judge the horizontal alignment of the mounting holes through the integrated level, solving the pain point of traditional tools' difficulty in detecting whether mounting holes are parallel. This invention integrates multiple inspection steps, significantly improving inspection efficiency and accuracy, effectively ensuring the production quality of the cabinet, and reducing the risk of installation failure due to size issues.

The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the embodiments of this utility model have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the embodiments of this utility model belong. The terminology used in the embodiments of this utility model is for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this utility model only and is not intended to limit the utility model.

Some or all steps may be executed in parallel or sequentially. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0029] The terminology used in the embodiments of this utility model is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the utility model. The singular forms "a" and "the" as used in the embodiments of this utility model and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The document showcases a preferred embodiment of the network cabinet quick inspection tool 100 of this utility model. The quick inspection tool 100 mainly includes an inspection body 110, at least a pair of inspection pins 120, and a level 130.

[0032] Specifically, the main body 110 of the fixture is the skeleton of the entire fixture, and other components are mounted or integrated onto it. In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the main body 110 of the inspection fixture can be made from a single piece of metal sheet (such as steel plate or aluminum alloy plate) through an integral stamping and bending process. This integral molding manufacturing method not only ensures the robustness of the structure and the accuracy of the dimensions, but also reduces production costs.

[0033] The structure of the main body 110 of the inspection tool can be subdivided into:

[0034] A longitudinal web 111 with a central elongated strip shape. This longitudinal web 111 is the main structure of the fixture, providing sufficient rigidity and strength.

[0035] A first detection flange 112 and a second detection flange 113 extend from the opposite longitudinal edges of the longitudinal web 111, respectively. Please refer to the following reference. Figure 2 In the side view, the first inspection flange 112 and the second inspection flange 113 extend from the longitudinal web 111 in opposite directions, giving the overall cross-section of the fixture body 110 a stable "Z"-shaped profile. This Z-shaped structural design uses the outer edges of the two flanges to form "pass-no-go gauges" for inspecting the spacing between the cabinet uprights. Specifically, the outer edge of the first inspection flange 112 is used to inspect the positive tolerance of the upright spacing, while the outer edge of the second inspection flange 113 is used to inspect the negative tolerance of the upright spacing. In actual use, the operator holds the fixture and slides it upwards from the bottom of the cabinet upright. If the upright can smoothly pass through the space between the two flanges, it proves that the spacing of the entire upright is within the acceptable tolerance range.

[0036] To facilitate quick differentiation of the functions of the two flanges by the operator, prominent visual markings 140 can be provided on the surfaces of the first inspection flange 112 and the second inspection flange 113, respectively. For example, a "+" sign can be marked on the flange corresponding to a positive tolerance, and a "-" sign can be marked on the flange corresponding to a negative tolerance. Figure 4 As shown.

[0037] The main body 110 of the inspection tool also integrally forms two end inspection pieces 114 at its longitudinal ends. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the two end detection pieces 114 are on the same plane as the longitudinal web 111, serving as the mounting base for the detection pin 120.

[0038] The detection pins 120 are preferably a pair, each securely mounted on one of the two end detection plates 114. The axis of each detection pin 120 is perpendicular to the surface of its respective end detection plate 114, and the axes of the two pins are parallel to each other to ensure accurate simulation of equipment installation. The center distance between the two detection pins 120 is precisely preset to the standard equipment mounting hole spacing, for example, to accommodate the dimensions of a 19-inch or 21-inch standard network cabinet. The front end of the pin can be designed to be tapered or rounded to facilitate easy insertion into the mounting hole of the device to be tested. Through this simple trial installation, the hole spacing of the mounting holes can be quickly determined to be acceptable.

[0039] The level 130 is mounted on the longitudinal web 111 and is used to simultaneously indicate the horizontal alignment of the two holes when the detection pin 120 is inserted into the mounting hole of the device to be tested. In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the level 130 can be installed at the longitudinal midpoint of the longitudinal web 111 for easy observation and balancing. The level 130 can be a traditional bubble level or a digital level with higher accuracy and more intuitive readings. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the level 130 is a magnetic level. In this case, the longitudinal web 111 is made of a ferromagnetic material (such as steel), allowing the level 130 to be detachably attached to the web by magnetic force. This design not only facilitates installation but also allows the operator to remove the level for separate use or easily replace it when the gauge is damaged, increasing flexibility and convenience of use.

[0040] In summary, this utility model, through its integrated structural design, organically combines three functions: continuous detection of column spacing, rapid verification of mounting hole spacing, and simultaneous judgment of mounting hole levelness. Operators only need to hold one tool and, through two simple, consecutive "sliding" and "insertion" actions, can comprehensively and efficiently complete the quality inspection of key dimensions of the network cabinet, greatly improving work efficiency and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the inspection results.

[0041] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
