Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of network cabinets, specifically a foldable network cabinet patch panel. Background Technology

[0002] Patch panels are the most important component in the management subsystem, serving as the hub for cross-connecting the vertical backbone and horizontal cabling subsystems. Patch panels are typically mounted in cabinets or on walls. With the addition of accessories, patch panels can fully meet the needs of UTP, STP, coaxial cable, fiber optic, and audio / video cabling. Commonly used patch panels in network engineering include twisted-pair patch panels and fiber optic patch panels. Based on their location and purpose, they are divided into two main categories: main patch panels and intermediate patch panels.

[0003] Currently, after the patch panel, driven by the follower block, is inserted into the receiving hole inside the positioning beam, the patch panel is limited after being rotated to the appropriate position by the locking component. Multiple patch panels are installed inside the cabinet, and the patch panels are often installed close together vertically or with small gaps between them, making it difficult to remove the patch panels for maintenance later. To solve the above problems, a cabinet patch panel disclosed in the prior art (Chinese patent application number CN202421075209.X, application date 2024-05-17) can be referred to. This method moves the four fixed handles to one side, causing the four fixed pins to separate from the four fixed holes, and then pulls the patch panel to one side, causing the two sliding blocks to move to one side inside the two sliding grooves, thereby moving the patch panel to the outside of the box, which facilitates the maintenance of the circuits connected inside the patch panel.

[0004] Although the patch panels mentioned above facilitate maintenance, there are still some problems during the installation process. Due to different installation angles and positions, multiple patch panels need to be installed, which makes the later installation process time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005] Therefore, we proposed that a foldable network cabinet patch panel can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable network cabinet patch panel to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the patch panels on the market currently require multiple patch panels for installation due to different installation angles and positions, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive installation in the later stages.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable network cabinet patch panel, comprising a main patch panel body and a secondary patch panel body. The secondary patch panel body is rotatably connected to one side of the main patch panel body via a pivot. Positioning holes for docking with the network cabinet are provided on one side of both the main and secondary patch panel bodies. Mounting frames are bolted to the back of both the main and secondary patch panel bodies. A limiting mechanism is provided between the main and secondary patch panel bodies, allowing adjustment of their rotation angle. The limiting mechanism is installed on the rotating side of both bodies. An elastic element is provided inside the mounting frame, and a bonding plate is fixed to the outer bottom of the elastic element. The outer side of the bonding plate is bonded to the outer side of electrical components.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a wire hole is provided on the back of the mounting frame, and the wire hole is used to insert a connecting wire; the rotation range of the main patch panel body and the secondary patch panel body around the rotating axis is -70° to 70°.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the limiting mechanism includes a damping rotating protrusion, a top block, and a return spring; the damping rotating protrusion is rotatably disposed on the top of the secondary patch panel body, and the protrusion portion of the damping rotating protrusion is attached to the end of the top block; the return spring is fixed on the outer side of the top block, and the other end of the return spring is attached to the inner wall of the secondary patch panel body; the main patch panel body is provided with a docking hole, and the outer end of the top block extends into the inner side of the docking hole.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the docking hole is opened on the top side of the main patch panel body, and the top block extends into the docking hole to form a locking mechanism with the main patch panel body; the top block is provided with at least two sets at equal angles about the center position of the damping rotating protrusion, and the number of docking holes matches the number of top blocks.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a cylindrical groove is provided on the inner side of one end of the secondary patch panel body near the damping rotating protrusion, and the damping rotating protrusion, the top block and the return spring are all housed in the cylindrical groove; the limiting mechanism is symmetrically distributed in two sets about the transverse center line of the secondary patch panel body.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the elastic element includes a fixing cylinder fixed inside the mounting frame, a connecting spring fixed inside the fixing cylinder, the tail end of the connecting spring fixed to the end of the moving block, and the bottom of the moving block fixed to the inner side of the bonding plate.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the moving block is clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, and the bonding plate forms a sliding structure by the sliding of the moving block in the fixed cylinder; the bonding plate is symmetrically distributed in two sets about the transverse center line of the mounting frame, and the outer side of the bonding plate is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This foldable network cabinet patch panel is rotatably connected to the main patch panel body and the secondary patch panel body via a rotating shaft. Combined with an adjustable angle limiting mechanism, it can adapt to different installation angles without the need for multiple patch panels, significantly saving installation time and labor costs. The cable holes on the back of the mounting frame facilitate the neat arrangement of connecting cables, and the internal elastic element drives the bonding plate to adhere to electrical components, improving component fixation stability. The damping rotation protrusion and top block engaging structure of the limiting mechanism, along with the sliding adaptation design of the elastic element, balance the flexibility of angle adjustment with the reliability of component fixation, solving the problems of laborious installation and poor adaptability of traditional patch panels, and improving overall ease of use and practicality. Specific details are as follows:

[0015] 1. The main patch panel and the secondary patch panel are connected by a rotating shaft, and the rotation angle of the two can be adjusted by a limiting mechanism. This eliminates the need to install multiple patch panels to accommodate different installation angle requirements, greatly reducing installation steps and manpower. It solves the time-consuming and labor-intensive problem caused by the need for multiple sets of patch panels to adapt to angles in traditional patch panels, and significantly improves installation efficiency.

[0016] 2. The connecting wires can be neatly threaded through the wire holes on the back of the mounting frame, avoiding messy wiring; its internal elastic element drives the moving block to slide against the bonding plate through the connecting spring, which can closely fit the outside of electrical components of different specifications and enhance the stability of component fixation; at the same time, the damping rotation protrusion of the limiting mechanism and the locking structure of the top block ensure the stability of the position after the angle is adjusted, taking into account the neatness of wiring, the reliability of component fixation and the flexibility of angle adjustment.

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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a foldable network cabinet patch panel.

[0026] Example 1: To address the issue of multiple patch panels being required for installation due to varying installation angles and positions, leading to time-consuming and labor-intensive installation processes, please refer to the attached... Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4The system includes a main patch panel body 1 and a secondary patch panel body 101. The secondary patch panel body 101 is rotatably connected to one side of the main patch panel body 1 via a pivot 4. Positioning holes 2 for docking with the network cabinet are provided on one side of both the main patch panel body 1 and the secondary patch panel body 101. Mounting frames 3 are bolted to the back of both the main patch panel body 1 and the secondary patch panel body 101. A limit switch is provided between the main patch panel body 1 and the secondary patch panel body 101. The limiting mechanism allows adjustment of the rotation angle of the main patch panel body 1 and the secondary patch panel body 101, and the limiting mechanism is installed on the rotation side of the main patch panel body 1 and the secondary patch panel body 101; a wire hole 301 is provided on the back of the mounting frame 3, and the wire hole 301 is used to insert a connecting wire; the rotation range of the main patch panel body 1 and the secondary patch panel body 101 around the rotating shaft 4 is -70° to 70°; the limiting mechanism includes a damping rotation protrusion 5 and a top block 6. The main patch panel 1 has a resetting spring 7; a damping rotating protrusion 5 is rotatably mounted on the top of the secondary patch panel body 101, and the protrusion portion of the damping rotating protrusion 5 is attached to the end of the top block 6; the resetting spring 7 is fixed on the outside of the top block 6, and the other end of the resetting spring 7 is attached to the inner wall of the secondary patch panel body 101; a docking hole 8 is provided on the main patch panel body 1, and the outer end of the top block 6 extends into the inner side of the docking hole 8; the docking hole 8 is located on the top side of the main patch panel body 1, and the top block 6 extends into the hole. The mating holes 8 and the main patch panel body 1 form a locking mechanism; the top block 6 is provided with at least two sets at equal angles to the center position of the damping rotating protrusion 5, and the number of mating holes 8 matches the number of top blocks 6; a cylindrical groove is provided on the inner side of the end of the secondary patch panel body 101 near the damping rotating protrusion 5, and the damping rotating protrusion 5, the top block 6 and the return spring 7 are all housed in the cylindrical groove; two sets of limiting mechanisms are symmetrically distributed about the transverse center line of the secondary patch panel body 101.

[0027] First, basic assembly is performed. The main patch panel body 1 and the secondary patch panel body 101 are rotatably connected via a pivot 4 on one side, ensuring that both can rotate flexibly around the pivot 4. The rotation range is limited to -70° to 70° to adapt to the installation angle requirements of different scenarios. Then, the overall structure is docked and positioned with the network cabinet through the positioning holes 2 on one side of the main patch panel body 1 and the secondary patch panel body 101. The mounting frame 3 is then fixed with bolts. The wire hole 301 on the back of the mounting frame 3 can be used to pass in the connecting wire, achieving initial wiring organization. When adjusting the angle, the damping rotation protrusion 5, the top block 6, and the return spring 7 of the limiting mechanism are all housed in the cylindrical groove on the inner side of the secondary patch panel body 101 near the damping rotation protrusion 5. The limiting mechanism is positioned horizontally relative to the secondary patch panel body 101. Two sets are symmetrically distributed along the center line to ensure adjustment stability. When the secondary patch panel body 101 is rotated, the damping rotating protrusion 5 rotates accordingly. Its protrusion part presses against the end of the top block 6. The top block 6 compresses the outer return spring 7 and retracts into the cylindrical groove, disengaging from the docking hole 8 opened on one side of the top of the main patch panel body 1. When the secondary patch panel body 101 rotates to the target angle, the external force is released, and the return spring 7 rebounds to push the top block 6 outward, so that its outer end re-enters the docking hole 8 at the corresponding position. The engagement between the top block 6 and the docking hole 8 forms a limit, completing the angle fixation. Because the top block 6 is set with at least two sets at the same angle as the center of the damping rotating protrusion 5, and the number of docking holes 8 matches the number of top blocks 6, multi-level angle adjustment can be achieved without the need to install multiple patch panels, greatly reducing installation steps and labor costs.

[0028] Example 2: To facilitate the installation of electrical components and prevent loosening, please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 The mounting frame 3 has an elastic element 9 inside, and an adhesive plate 10 is fixed to the outer bottom of the elastic element 9. The outer side of the adhesive plate 10 is attached to the outer side of the electrical component. The elastic element 9 includes a fixing cylinder 901 fixed inside the mounting frame 3. A connecting spring 902 is fixed inside the fixing cylinder 901. The tail end of the connecting spring 902 is fixed to the end of the moving block 903. The bottom of the moving block 903 is fixed to the inner side of the adhesive plate 10. The moving block 903 is clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 901. The adhesive plate 10 forms a sliding structure by sliding the moving block 903 inside the fixing cylinder 901. Two sets of adhesive plates 10 are symmetrically distributed about the transverse center line of the mounting frame 3, and the outer side of the adhesive plate 10 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0029] First, the elastic element 9 is pre-installed. The fixing cylinder 901 of the elastic element 9 is fixed to a preset position inside the mounting frame 3 by bolts or welding, ensuring a stable connection between the fixing cylinder 901 and the mounting frame 3. Then, the connecting spring 902 is placed inside the fixing cylinder 901 and fixed. Next, the moving block 903 is inserted into the fixing cylinder 901 and fixed to the tail end of the connecting spring 902. At this time, the moving block 903 and the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 901 are in a clearance fit state, allowing it to slide flexibly along the axial direction inside the fixing cylinder 901. Finally, the bonding plate 10 is fixed to the bottom of the moving block 903, with two sets of bonding plates 10 symmetrically distributed about the transverse centerline of the mounting frame 3. At the same time, on the outer side of the bonding plate 10... The anti-slip texture is processed to prepare for subsequent component fixing. When installing electrical components, the components are placed between the two sets of bonding plates 10, and the outer side of the components will exert a squeezing force on the bonding plates 10. After the bonding plates 10 are subjected to force, they will drive the bottom moving block 903 to slide into the fixed cylinder 901. During the sliding process, the moving block 903 will compress the connecting spring 902 in the fixed cylinder 901, causing the connecting spring 902 to undergo elastic deformation and accumulate reverse elastic force. As the elastic force of the connecting spring 902 gradually increases, it will be transmitted to the bonding plate 10 through the moving block 903, so that the outer side of the bonding plate 10 is tightly attached to the outer side of the electrical component, and the component is clamped and fixed by means of elastic force.
