Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cabinet patch panels, and more specifically it relates to a vertical patch panel used for cabinet cabling. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of server rack cabling, vertical patch panels are a key component, used to organize and guide cables, ensuring the orderliness and stability of cabling within the rack. Currently, the vertical patch panels widely used in the market are typically designed with holes at both ends to securely lock them into the rack with screws. This ensures the patch panel's fixed position within the rack, preventing vibration or displacement from affecting cable connections and signal transmission.

[0003] However, in actual installation, installers face a rather tricky problem. When installing patch panels, one hand must constantly support the patch panel, precisely positioning it in the designated location within the cabinet, while the other hand must hold an electric screwdriver, ready to tighten the screws. With both hands occupied, it's difficult for installers to free up an extra hand to handle the screws and accurately align them into the holes on the patch panel and in the cabinet. This not only leads to low installation efficiency but also increases the risk of installation errors due to the inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertical patch panel for cabinet cabling that eliminates the need to manually handle and align screws, thereby improving installation efficiency and simplifying the installation process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A vertical patch panel for cabinet cabling includes a patch panel with through holes at both ends for screws to pass through. A magnetic washer is coaxially fixed to one end of each through hole. A screw passes through the washer, and the head of the screw is located at the outer end of the washer and has magnetism that attracts the washer.

[0007] The advantages of this solution are at least as follows: the screws are magnetically attached to the vertical patch panel, eliminating the need to use a separate hand to pick up and align the screws, thus improving installation efficiency and simplifying the installation process.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: a rubber layer is provided on the end wall of the gasket near the through hole.

[0009] The present invention is further provided with an adhesive layer between the rubber layer and the gasket ring, and between the rubber layer and the end wall of the through hole.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: there is a tearable double-sided adhesive layer between the head of the screw and the washer, and the adhesive layer has less adhesion than the adhesive layer.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the screw thread portion.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the screw is a Phillips head screw.

[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0014] 1. By setting up the screws, they are magnetically attached to the vertical patch panel, eliminating the need to use your hands to pick up and align the screws, thus improving installation efficiency and simplifying the installation process.

[0015] 2. By designing the screw head to separate from the washer under external force, the double-sided adhesive layer will be less viscous than the glue layer, instead of the washer separating from the end of the through hole, thus improving the stability of screw installation.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0021] A vertical patch panel used for cabinet cabling, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a patch panel 1, with through holes 2 at both ends for screws 4 to pass through. A magnetic washer 3 is coaxially fixed to one end of the through hole 2, and a screw 4 is threaded through the washer 3. The screw 4 is preferably a Phillips head screw 4, which has a larger torque area.

[0022] The head 41 of the screw 4 is located at the outer end of the washer 3, and the screw rod 42 of the screw 4 passes through the washer 3 and the through hole 2, and will be threaded into the threaded hole of the cabinet after installation. In order to facilitate the pre-installation of the screw 4, in some embodiments, the diameter of the through hole 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the screw rod 42 of the screw 4.

[0023] The head 41 of screw 4 has a magnetic attraction to the washer 3, so the head 41 of screw 4 will be connected to the vertical patch panel 1 by magnetic attraction. When installing screw 4, there is no need to take out another hand to pick up and align screw 4, which improves installation efficiency and simplifies installation operation.

[0024] In some embodiments, an adhesive layer 6 is provided between the rubber layer 5 and the washer 3, and between the rubber layer 5 and the end wall of the through hole 2. A tearable double-sided adhesive layer 7 is provided between the head 41 of the screw 4 and the washer 3, and the adhesiveness of the double-sided adhesive layer 7 is less than that of the adhesive layer 6. Under external force, because the adhesiveness of the double-sided adhesive layer 7 is less than that of the adhesive layer 6, the head 41 of the screw 4 will separate from the washer 3, rather than the washer 3 separating from the end of the through hole 2, thus improving the stability when installing the screw 4.

[0025] In some embodiments, the washer 3 has a rubber layer 5 on one end wall near the through hole 2 to make the screw 4 tighten more.

[0026] In summary, the working process and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Align the vertical patch panel 1 with the server rack, and then simply use a screwdriver to tighten the screws 4 attached to the vertical patch panel 1 onto the server rack. This eliminates the need to manually handle and align the screws 4, improving installation efficiency and simplifying the installation process.

[0027] Furthermore, under external force, because the adhesive layer 7 is less viscous than the glue layer 6, the head 41 of the screw 4 will separate from the washer 3, rather than the washer 3 separating from the end of the through hole 2, thus improving the stability when installing the screw 4.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
