Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of communication-related technology, specifically relating to an assembled patch panel. Background Technology
[0002] Prefabricated patch panels are key equipment in modern communication cabling systems for centralized management and flexible scheduling of cables. They use a cuboid integrated block as the core carrier and construct corresponding connection channels for multiple input connectors and output sockets through internally fixed cuboid integrated terminal blocks. At the same time, metal mounting plates enable cabinet or wall mounting, T-shaped assembly blocks and slots enable rapid splicing and expansion of multiple units, and cable routing boards and cable trays ensure the neatness of back-end cables. They can efficiently adapt to the multi-device wiring needs of enterprise computer rooms, data centers, office buildings and other scenarios, greatly improving the assembly flexibility, port utilization and later maintenance convenience of the cabling system.
[0003] However, traditional prefabricated patch panels rely solely on the elastic contacts of the plugs for connection and fixation, lacking additional reinforcement structures. Under conditions such as continuous vibration from the operation of equipment in the computer room, accidental pulling during cable maintenance, or the weakening of the elasticity of the plug contacts after long-term use, the plugs are prone to loosening or even falling off, leading to network signal interruption, transmission rate fluctuations, and seriously affecting the stability of the communication link. On the other hand, although some patch panels have attempted to add simple snap-on reinforcement components, they are mostly one-time fixing structures. Disassembly and adjustment require tools and are prone to damaging the plugs or sockets, resulting in poor operation convenience. At the same time, they cannot be adapted to different specifications of network cable plugs, lacking versatility. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a prefabricated patch panel to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the output sockets of traditional prefabricated patch panels rely solely on the elastic contacts of the plugs themselves for connection and fixation, lacking additional reinforcement structures. Under conditions such as continuous vibration generated by the operation of equipment in the computer room or accidental pulling during cable maintenance, the plugs are prone to loosening or even falling off, resulting in network signal interruption and transmission rate fluctuations.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an assembled patch panel, comprising a cuboid integrated block and a plurality of cuboid terminal block slots disposed inside the cuboid integrated block, wherein cuboid integrated terminal blocks are fixed in each of the plurality of cuboid terminal block slots, a plurality of output sockets are equidistantly arranged inside the front end of each of the plurality of cuboid integrated terminal blocks, a plurality of input connectors are equidistantly arranged at the rear end of each of the plurality of cuboid integrated terminal blocks, and the plurality of output sockets and the plurality of input connectors are equidistantly arranged from left to right, and a socket plug reinforcement device is provided in front of each of the plurality of output sockets.
[0006] Preferably, the plug reinforcement device includes a rectangular fixing hole, a prism-shaped metal block, and a square anti-rotation hole. Each of the multiple output plugs is provided with a rectangular fixing hole above it, and the rectangular fixing hole is located inside the cuboid integrated block near the top. The prism-shaped metal block is inserted and fixed inside each of the multiple rectangular fixing holes. The center of the rear half of each of the multiple prism-shaped metal blocks is provided with a tension adjustment screw hole. The front half of each of the multiple prism-shaped metal blocks is provided with a square anti-rotation hole, and the square anti-rotation hole communicates with the tension adjustment screw hole.
[0007] Preferably, the plug reinforcement device further includes a metal connecting strip, a hand-tightening screw, a prism-type anti-rotation rod, and a screw through hole.

The metal connecting strip is vertically downward. The prism-type anti-rotation rod and the inside of the metal connecting strip are connected by a screw through hole. A hand-tightening screw is inserted into the screw through hole.
[0008] Preferably, the prism-type anti-rotation insert can move back and forth in the square anti-rotation hole, but the prism-type anti-rotation insert cannot rotate in the square anti-rotation hole. The nut knob of the hand-tightening screw is located at the front end of the metal connecting strip. The screw rod of the hand-tightening screw passes through the screw rod through hole and is threaded into the tension adjustment screw hole inside the rear half of the prism-type metal block.
[0009] Preferably, the plug reinforcement device further includes a plug wire connection opening, a plug pressure plate, and a soft rubber contact pad. The plug pressure plate is fixed to the bottom end of the metal connecting strip. The plug pressure plate has a plug wire connection opening in the lower half of the center of the plug pressure plate. The U-shaped opening of the plug wire connection opening faces downward. A soft rubber contact pad is attached and fixed to the outer wall of the rear end of the plug pressure plate.
[0010] Preferably, as the screw of the hand-tightening screw is inserted into the tension adjustment screw hole, the hand-tightening screw will push the metal connecting strip backward synchronously through the blocking effect of the nut knob. When the outer wall of the rear end of the screw of the hand-tightening screw is flush with the rear end opening of the tension adjustment screw hole, the outer wall of the rear end of the soft rubber contact pad is located inside the front end opening of the output socket.
[0011] Preferably, metal mounting plates are welded to the outer walls of both ends of the cuboid integrated block, and both metal mounting plates are flush with the outer wall of the front end of the cuboid integrated block. Mounting holes are provided inside the two metal mounting plates. T-shaped assembly blocks are provided at the center of the outer wall of the top end of the cuboid integrated block and on its left and right sides. T-shaped assembly slots are provided at the center of the bottom end of the cuboid integrated block and on its left and right sides.
[0012] Preferably, the longitudinal length of the T-shaped assembly block and the longitudinal depth of the T-shaped assembly slot are both three-quarters of the longitudinal thickness of the cuboid integrated block, and the T-shaped assembly block can slide into the T-shaped assembly slot from front to back.

Multiple routing holes are provided inside the rear side of the center of the routing plate. The multiple routing holes correspond one-to-one with the multiple input connectors.
[0014] Preferably, a cable retaining strip is welded to the top of the front end of the cable routing board. The cable retaining strip has multiple U-shaped openings facing upwards, and the multiple cable retaining strips are arranged one-to-one with the multiple cable routing holes. Soft rubber cable anti-detachment strips are provided on the inner walls of the left and right ends of the top openings of the multiple cable retaining strips.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a prefabricated patch panel, which has the following advantages:
[0016] This invention adds a novel plug reinforcement device to the outside of each output socket of the assembled patch panel. This device provides multi-dimensional reinforcement for the external network cable plug inserted into the output socket, completely solving the problem of plugs in traditional patch panels easily loosening and falling off due to vibration and pulling. When the external network cable plug is inserted into the output socket, rotating the hand-tightening screw causes the screw to penetrate deeper along the tension adjustment screw hole of the prism-shaped metal block. Simultaneously, the resistance of the nut knob pushes the metal connecting strip backward, causing the plug pressure plate to move synchronously towards the output socket. At this time, the plug pressure plate tightly fits onto the outside of the network cable plug through the plug wire sleeve opening at the center. This not only positions the network cable but also allows the soft rubber contact pad at the rear to directly act on the front end of the network cable plug, continuously pushing the network cable plug into the output socket. This ensures full contact between the metal contacts of the plug and the socket. Even in scenarios such as equipment vibration in the computer room or accidental cable pulling, the network cable plug can always be firmly plugged into the output socket, effectively avoiding network signal interruption and transmission rate reduction caused by poor contact, and ensuring the stability of the communication link.
[0017] Furthermore, this device features a manually adjustable, hand-tightening screw design, eliminating the need for specialized tools. Maintenance personnel can complete the reinforcement operation solely by hand, significantly improving the efficiency of plug installation and removal. Simultaneously, the plug wire socket opening of the plug pressure plate has a U-shaped downward structure, accommodating network cables of different diameters. The soft rubber contact pad possesses a certain degree of elasticity, adapting to the shape of the network cable plug during reinforcement, preventing hard compression damage to the plug shell. In addition, the prism-shaped anti-rotation plug and square anti-rotation hole's matching structure prevents the metal connecting strip from rotating or shifting during back-and-forth movement, ensuring the plug pressure plate remains precisely aligned with the network cable plug, guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of the reinforcement operation. It adapts to the needs of various common network cable plug specifications. Moreover, this reinforcement device is fully integrated within a cuboid integrated block, achieving a stable connection with the integrated block through rectangular fixing holes, without occupying additional external space on the patch panel, thus avoiding interference with surrounding installation structures and other interface components.

[0023] 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.
[0024] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The assembled patch panel shown has a core load-bearing and wiring structure of a cuboid integrated block 2. Multiple cuboid terminal block slots are opened inside the cuboid integrated block 2 for precise fixing of cuboid integrated terminal blocks 3. Through the matching design of the slots and terminal blocks, it can be ensured that the terminal blocks are not misaligned after installation, laying the foundation for the stability of subsequent wiring. Multiple output sockets 6 are equidistantly arranged from left to right inside the front end of the multiple cuboid integrated terminal blocks 3, forming a one-to-one signal transmission channel with multiple input connectors 13 arranged from left to right at the rear end. This enables quick connection of external device plugs and rear-end cables, meets the needs of simultaneous wiring of multiple devices, and greatly improves the port utilization rate of the patch panel.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the metal mounting plates 1 welded to the outer walls of the left and right ends of the cuboid integrated block 2 are flush with the outer wall of the front end of the cuboid integrated block 2. This flush design avoids space occupation and the risk of bumping caused by the protruding mounting plates. The mounting holes inside the metal mounting plates 1, together with bolts, can firmly fix the patch panel to the mounting bracket on the cabinet or wall. The high strength of the metal material ensures that the patch panel will not loosen during long-term use. The T-shaped assembly blocks 5 set at the center of the top outer wall and on its left and right sides of the cuboid integrated block 2, and the T-shaped assembly blocks 5 set at the center of the bottom and on its left and right sides, are connected to the T-shaped assembly blocks 5 set at the center of the bottom and on its left and right sides. The T-shaped assembly slots 4 are compatible, and the longitudinal length of the T-shaped assembly block 5 and the longitudinal depth of the T-shaped assembly slot 4 are both three-quarters of the longitudinal thickness of the cuboid integrated block 2. This size design ensures the contact area between the block and the slot, while avoiding assembly difficulties caused by excessively long blocks. When it is necessary to expand the number of patch panel ports, the T-shaped assembly block 5 of one patch panel can be slid from front to back into the T-shaped assembly slot 4 of another patch panel. The anti-detachment characteristics of the T-shaped structure enable the rapid splicing of multiple patch panels without the need for additional connectors, greatly improving assembly flexibility and efficiency.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the metal fixing brackets 8 welded to the left and right ends of the cuboid integrated block 2 and located on the outer wall of the rear end are used to support and fix the wiring board 9 between the rear ends of the two fixing brackets. The wiring board 9 is located on the lower side behind multiple input connectors 13. Multiple wiring holes 10 opened inside the center of the rear side correspond one-to-one with the multiple input connectors 13. The rear cables can pass through the wiring holes 10 and connect to the input connectors 13. The positioning effect of the wiring holes 10 prevents the cables from getting messy and tangled. At the same time, the clamping wire 11 welded to the top of the front end of the wiring board 9 has multiple U-shaped openings facing upwards and clamping grooves 12 opened inside, which correspond one-to-one with the multiple wiring holes 10. After the cables pass through the wiring holes 10, they can be clamped into the clamping grooves 12. The soft rubber cable anti-detachment clamping strips set on the inner walls of the left and right ends of the top opening of the clamping groove 12 can form a slight clamping force on the clamped cables by utilizing the elastic properties of soft rubber, preventing the cables from coming out of the clamping grooves 12 due to pulling. This achieves double fixation and organization of the cables, ensuring the neatness of the rear wiring and facilitating the later cable inspection and replacement.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the plug reinforcement device 7 installed in front of the multiple output sockets 6 can effectively solve the problem of loosening of traditional plugs. Specifically, above the multiple output sockets 6, there are rectangular fixing holes 19 located near the top of the cuboid integrated block 2, which are used to insert and fix the prism-shaped metal block 21. The matching of the rectangular holes with the prism blocks prevents the metal blocks from rotating, ensuring the stability of the subsequent adjustment structure. The tension adjustment screw holes inside the center of the rear half of the multiple prism-shaped metal blocks 21 form an adjustment channel with the square anti-rotation holes 23 inside the front half that are interconnected. The prism-shaped anti-rotation rod 18 inserted into the square anti-rotation hole 23 can move back and forth but cannot rotate. This anti-rotation... The design prevents the insertion rod from causing subsequent components to shift, ensuring precise reinforcement direction. The prism-shaped anti-rotation insertion rod 18 has a downwardly vertically arranged metal connecting strip 16 welded to its front end. A hand-tightening screw 17 is inserted into the screw through hole 22, which is connected to the inside of the insertion rod. The nut knob of the hand-tightening screw 17 is located at the front end of the metal connecting strip 16. The screw rod passes through the screw through hole 22 and is threaded into the tension adjustment screw hole. When the hand-tightening screw 17 is rotated, the screw rod will move in or out along the tension adjustment screw hole. With the blocking effect of the nut knob, the metal connecting strip 16 is pushed or pulled back and forth simultaneously to adjust the reinforcement position. No professional tools are required; it can be operated by hand, improving ease of use.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the plug pressure plate 15, fixed to the bottom of the metal connecting strip 16, has a U-shaped downward-facing plug wire sleeve opening 14 in the lower half of its center. This opening allows the external network cable plug to be inserted into the output socket 6 and then sleeved around the outside of the network cable, thus positioning the cable and preventing it from shifting and causing the plug to loosen. The soft rubber contact pad 20, attached to the outer wall of the rear end of the plug pressure plate 15, moves synchronously towards the output socket 6 as the metal connecting strip 16 moves backward. The soft rubber material prevents wear caused by hard contact between the pressure plate and the plug shell. It is not only durable but also enhances the fixing effect of the plug through its own anti-slip properties. When the screw of the hand-tightening screw 17 is inserted into the tightening adjustment screw hole until the outer wall of the rear end of the screw is flush with the rear opening of the tightening adjustment screw hole, the outer wall of the rear end of the soft rubber contact pad 20 is exactly inside the front opening of the output socket 6. At this time, the contact pad will continuously push the network cable plug into the socket to ensure that the plug and the metal contact of the socket are fully in contact. Even in scenarios such as vibration in the computer room and cable pulling, the plug can be firmly plugged in, effectively avoiding signal interruption.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
