Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of patch panel technology, and more specifically, to a quick-release network patch panel. Background Technology

[0002] In a network cabling system, the patch panel acts like a "network cable relay station," responsible for centrally organizing and connecting the network cables from devices such as computers, routers, and servers. This facilitates subsequent cable inspection, replacement, and maintenance. Early traditional patch panels mostly used screws or snap-fit ​​clips to secure modules. Replacing a module required carefully unscrewing it bit by bit with a screwdriver, taking care not to damage the components. If there were many network cables, replacing just one module could take a considerable amount of time.

[0003] In existing technologies, the height of patch panels needs to be determined based on wall space and the location of surrounding equipment during installation. If the height of traditional fixed installation is not suitable, it needs to be disassembled and reinstalled, which is cumbersome. Moreover, once fixed, it cannot be adjusted, making it difficult to adapt to changes in the location requirements caused by the addition or removal of network equipment. Traditional fixing methods (such as screw connections) require special tools for disassembly and assembly, and the steps are cumbersome. Especially in scenarios with dense network cables, maintenance is time-consuming and can easily affect normal network use. With a large number of network cables on the patch panel, if there is a lack of effective fixing and marking, network cables are prone to tangling and falling off, making it difficult to quickly identify the network cables of the corresponding devices during subsequent maintenance, increasing the difficulty and time of maintenance.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a quick-release network patch panel, which has the following features:

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. Pulling the fixing rod releases the mounting bracket from the fixing frame. The height of the mounting bracket can be easily adjusted by moving the sliding block along the sliding groove. After releasing the fixing rod, the spring drives the fixing rod to automatically snap into the fixing hole to complete the fixation. The installation height can be quickly adjusted without disassembling the overall structure, adapting to different spatial layouts and subsequent equipment position changes, reducing the trouble of reinstallation and improving installation flexibility.

[0019] 2. When installing the fixing block, push it into the mounting bracket, pull the handle, rotate the limit rod, and then release it. The spring force will then secure it. Disassembly is done by reversing the operation. No special tools are required. The fixing block installation and removal steps are simple and quick, greatly shortening maintenance time, avoiding long-term network interruptions due to module maintenance, and improving network maintenance efficiency.

[0020] 3. The network cable can be quickly threaded into the cable hole through the cable slot. The clamping spring drives the clamping block to automatically clamp the network cable to prevent it from falling off or getting tangled. Each cable hole has a corresponding label to mark the device to which the network cable belongs. This can keep the network cables neat and orderly, and quickly identify the purpose of the network cable, greatly reducing the difficulty of subsequent maintenance and improving the convenience of network cable management.

Block 9 is provided with multiple threading holes 10, and a clamping rod 11 is provided on the threading hole 10. One end of the clamping rod 11 is provided with a clamping handle 12, and the other end is provided with a clamping block 13. The clamping block 13 is provided with a clamping groove 14. A clamping spring 15 is provided between the clamping block 13 and the threading hole 10. A fixing plate 30 is provided on the fixing rod 7. A fixing spring 31 is provided between the fixing plate 30 and the fixing plate 6. A threading groove 32 is connected to one side of the threading hole 10. A label 33 is provided on the top of each threading hole 10.

[0031] In this embodiment, during use, the mounting bracket 1 is installed on the wall using expansion bolts, or on the housing using bolts. Then, the fixing rod 7 is pulled outwards, causing the fixing plate 30 to compress the fixing spring 31. Through the cooperation of the sliding block 3 and the sliding groove 4, the height position of the mounting bracket 2 is moved. Then, the fixing rod 7 is released, and the fixing plate 30, under the elastic force of the fixing spring 31, causes the fixing rod 7 to extend into the fixing hole 8, thereby fixing the position of the mounting bracket 2. The fixing block 5 is placed on the mounting bracket 2, and the position of the fixing block 5 is limited by the limiting device. When fixing the wire, the clamping handle 12 is moved upwards, and the wire is clamped by the clamping groove 14 on the clamping block 13. The clamping spring 15 provides a continuous and stable clamping elastic force. At the same time, the wire groove 32 is provided to facilitate the installation and removal of the wire, and the label 33 is used to easily mark the wire type, thereby facilitating maintenance.

[0032] Please see Figures 3-5As one embodiment of the limiting device: the limiting device includes a limiting groove 16, the limiting groove 16 is set on the fixed block 5, a limiting rod 17 is slidably provided on the limiting groove 16, a limiting plate 18 is provided on the limiting rod 17, a limiting block 19 is provided on the limiting plate 18, a fixed groove 20 is provided on the mounting bracket 2, a fixed sliding groove 21 is provided on the fixed groove 20, a limiting slide plate 22 is provided in the limiting groove 16 on the limiting rod 17, a limiting slider 23 is provided on the limiting slide plate 22, a first limiting sliding groove 24 and a second limiting sliding groove 25 are provided on the limiting groove 16, a turning groove 26 is provided between the first limiting sliding groove 24 and the second limiting sliding groove 25, a limiting spring 27 is provided between the limiting slide plate 22 and the limiting groove 16, a handle 28 is provided on the limiting plate 18, and a hidden groove 29 is provided on the fixed block 5 to cooperate with the limiting plate 18 and the limiting block 19.

[0033] More specifically, when fixing the fixing block 5, the limiting plate 18 and the limiting block 19 are in the hidden groove 29. The fixing block 5 is inserted into the mounting bracket 2, and the limiting plate 18 and the limiting block 19 enter the fixing groove 20 through the fixing slide groove 21. Pulling the handle 28 outwards causes the limiting plate 18, the limiting rod 17, and the limiting slide plate 22 to move outwards. The limiting slider 23 on the limiting slide plate 22 moves along the first limiting slide groove 24 and compresses the limiting spring 27. Then, the limiting rod 17 is rotated, causing the limiting slider 23 to pass through... The steering groove 26 is aligned with the second limiting slide groove 25. At the same time, the limiting plate 18 drives the limiting block 19 to rotate in the fixed groove 20, so that the limiting block 19 is misaligned with the fixed slide groove 21. When the handle 28 is released, the limiting slide plate 22 and the limiting slider 23 move downward along the second limiting slide groove 25 under the elastic force of the limiting spring 27. While squeezing the limiting slide plate 22, the limiting block 19 is locked in the limiting groove 16. The limiting spring 27 is continuously compressed, which improves the installation stability. When disassembling the fixed plate 6, the operation can be reversed.

[0034] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: When in use, the mounting bracket 1 is installed on the wall using expansion bolts, or on the housing using bolts. Then, the fixing rod 7 is pulled outwards, causing the fixing plate 30 to compress the fixing spring 31. Through the cooperation of the sliding block 3 and the sliding groove 4, the height of the mounting bracket 2 is moved. Then, the fixing rod 7 is released, and the fixing plate 30, under the elastic force of the fixing spring 31, causes the fixing rod 7 to extend into the fixing hole 8, thereby fixing the position of the mounting bracket 2. The fixing block 5 is placed on the mounting bracket 2, and its position is limited by the limiting device. When fixing the wire, the clamping handle 12 is moved upwards, and the wire is clamped through the clamping groove 14 on the clamping block 13. The clamping spring 15 provides a continuous and stable clamping force. Simultaneously, the wire-passing groove 32 facilitates the installation and removal of wires, and the label 33 facilitates marking the wire type, thus aiding in maintenance.

[0035] When fixing the fixing block 5, the limiting plate 18 and the limiting block 19 are in the hidden groove 29. The fixing block 5 is inserted into the mounting bracket 2, and the limiting plate 18 and the limiting block 19 enter the fixing groove 20 through the fixing slide groove 21. Pulling the handle 28 outwards causes the limiting plate 18, the limiting rod 17, and the limiting slide plate 22 to move outwards. The limiting slider 23 on the limiting slide plate 22 moves along the first limiting slide groove 24 and compresses the limiting spring 27. Then, the limiting rod 17 is rotated, causing the limiting slider 23 to pass through the turning groove. Align 26 with the second limiting slide groove 25. At the same time, the limiting plate 18 drives the limiting block 19 to rotate in the fixed groove 20, so that the limiting block 19 is misaligned with the fixed slide groove 21. Release the handle 28, and the limiting slide plate 22 and the limiting slider 23 move downward along the second limiting slide groove 25 under the elastic force of the limiting spring 27. While squeezing the limiting slide plate 22, the limiting block 19 is locked in the limiting groove 16. The limiting spring 27 is continuously in a compressed state, which improves the installation stability. When disassembling the fixed plate 6, the operation can be reversed.
