Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cable and pipe sealing devices, and in particular to an adjustable sealing module for cabinet inlet holes. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in signal engineering, the lead holes in the cabinet are sealed with rubber rings or push-pull metal baffles.

[0003] Specifically, after indoor cable laying, there are two methods for introducing cables into the cabinet: bottom entry and top entry. After the cables are bundled and terminated, one method involves cutting the rubber ring and embedding it along the edge of the entry hole into the top or bottom cover of the cabinet to achieve a sealing effect; the other method involves pulling a sliding metal baffle to seal the remaining space. During the sealing process of the cabinet entry hole, the rubber ring risks falling off, and the sliding metal baffle may leave gaps. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of gaps existing in the prior art when sealing the inlet hole with rubber rings and push-pull metal baffles, and to provide an adjustable sealing module for the cabinet inlet hole.

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An adjustable sealing module for a cabinet inlet hole includes a frame, the frame comprising a first frame and a second frame, the first frame including a first connector and a slot, the second frame including a second connector and a slot, the first connector and the second connector being able to connect to each other to form the frame, the slot being used to place a plurality of sealing strips, the sealing strips being movable along the depth direction of the slot.

[0006] In this field, an access hole refers to a specially reserved hole in a specific location (commonly found on the bottom, side, or back) of a server rack. It serves as a "channel" for external cables or conduits to enter the rack. These holes are called "access holes" (also known as "cable entry holes" or "cable threading holes"). A sealing strip refers to a flexible or semi-flexible component that blocks gaps in these "channels" to achieve sealing and protection.

[0007] The first connector and the second connector are connected to each other, so that the first frame and the second frame form the frame. The frame formed is larger than the rack inlet hole and can cover the rack inlet hole. At this time, the sealing strip in the slot moves along the opposite depth direction of the slot. By moving the sealing strip in the slot to the wire end, the rack inlet hole is sealed.

[0008] The adjustable sealing module for the rack inlet hole of this utility model is formed by connecting the first frame and the second frame. This allows the first and second frames to be adjusted according to the rack inlet hole to form the size of the frame. The first and second connecting parts are connected to each other, which can not only fit the rack inlet hole but also fix the shape of the frame. The plurality of sealing strips can move along the depth direction of the slot. The plurality of sealing strips can move according to the size and shape of the wire end to be sealed, which can improve the flexibility of sealing gaps and achieve better sealing of the rack inlet hole gaps. Compared with sealing the inlet hole with rubber rings and sealing the inlet hole with push-pull metal baffles, it can better seal the gaps of the rack inlet hole.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the slot wall is designed to be hollow.

[0010] This structural design helps save on material costs and facilitates the movement of the sealing strip.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first connecting member is a rack with a C-shaped cross-section, and the second connecting member is a type I rack.

[0012] With this structural arrangement, the C-shaped rack and the first rack interlock, allowing the first frame and the second frame to move while simultaneously fixing the frame.

[0013] As a further preferred technical solution of this utility model, the first connector has a cutting line, and the second connector has a cutting line.

[0014] This structural design facilitates the cutting and trimming of the first and second connectors.

[0015] As a further preferred technical solution of this utility model, fireproof putty is laid flat on the frame.

[0016] With this structural design, the fireproof putty can fix the frame position, enhance the sealing performance, block the spread of fire and high temperature, and improve the fire safety level.

[0017] As a further preferred embodiment of this invention, the thickness of the slot is less than the thickness of the frame.

[0018] This structural design allows the fireproof putty to be spread evenly on the slots and sealing strips within the frame, resulting in a tighter, smoother seal with no light transmission or gaps.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the sealing strip has a rectangular cross-section.

[0020] With this structural design, the sealing strips are more tightly sealed and evenly spaced.

[0021] As a further preferred embodiment of this invention, the sealing strip is made of rubber.

[0022] This structural design allows for better sealing of the cabinet access holes due to the high elasticity and deformation recovery of rubber materials (especially elastomer rubber), and also reduces costs.

[0023] As a further preferred embodiment of this invention, the length of the sealing strip is greater than the depth of the slot.

[0024] This structural design allows for easier movement of the sealing strip.

[0025] As a further preferred technical solution of this utility model, the frame is a stainless steel component.

[0026] This structural design helps to fix the sealing strip, stabilize the cable entry structure, resist environmental influences such as corrosion and impact inside and outside the cabinet, and ensure the sealing performance and structural integrity of the inlet hole in the long term.

[0027] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The adjustable sealing module for the rack inlet hole described in this utility model can better seal the gaps of the rack inlet hole by using a movable sealing strip, while avoiding the gap problems that exist when using rubber rings to seal the inlet hole or using push-pull metal baffles to seal the inlet hole.

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention to the following embodiments; all technologies implemented based on the content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0031] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "center," "inner," and "outer" used in the description of specific embodiments of this utility model to indicate orientation or positional relationships are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product / equipment / device is usually placed during use. These terms are merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of the utility model solution or simplifying the description in specific embodiments, and for enabling those skilled in the art to quickly understand the solution, and do not indicate or imply that a specific device / component / element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific positional relationship. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," "parallel," and "coaxial" does not imply that the corresponding device / component / element must be absolutely horizontal, vertical, suspended, parallel, or coaxial. Slight tilt or deviation is permissible, as long as it does not affect the normal function of the relevant component. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," not that the structure must be perfectly horizontal; a slight tilt is acceptable. "Coaxial" means that two components are arranged as coaxially as possible, allowing them to move coaxially or approximately coaxially when their relative positions change. Alternatively, it can be simplified to mean that the corresponding device / component / element, when arranged in "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," "parallel," or "coaxial" directions, can have an error / deviation of ±10% relative to the corresponding direction, more preferably within ±8%, more preferably within ±6%, more preferably within ±5%, and more preferably within ±4%. For example, the deviation in the "coaxial" direction is controlled within 0.2-1mm, preferably within 0.2-0.5mm. As long as the corresponding device / component / element is within the error / deviation range, it can still achieve its function in the present invention.

[0033] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first," "second," and "third" in terminology is merely for distinguishing descriptions of identical or similar components and should not be interpreted as emphasizing or implying the relative importance of a particular component.

[0034] Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this utility model, "several", "multiple", and "several" represent at least two. The number can be any number, such as two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine, and can even exceed nine.

[0035] Furthermore, in the description of the technical solution of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified / limited / restricted, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," "link," "provided with," "laid out," and "arranged" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to common connection methods in the art, such as welding, riveting, bolting, and threaded connections. Such connections can be mechanical, electrical, or communication connections; they can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.

[0036] Example 1 like Figure 1-7 As shown, the adjustable sealing module for the cabinet inlet hole of this utility model includes a frame 1. The frame 1 includes a first frame 11 and a second frame 12. The first frame 11 includes a first connector 111 and a slot. The second frame 12 includes a second connector 112 and a slot. The first connector 111 and the second connector 112 can be connected to each other to form the frame 1. The slot is used to place a plurality of sealing strips 2. The sealing strips 2 can move along the depth direction of the slot.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, the inlet hole to be sealed can be circular, rectangular, or other shapes. Specifically, the inlet hole to be sealed is a rectangle with a length of 80mm and a width of 40mm, and the frame can be machined to have a length of 100mm and a width of 60mm, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 fit together, making the frame larger than the size of the sealing cabinet inlet hole. Then, the left sealing strip 21 and the right sealing strip 22 are adjusted to fill the gap at the wire end 3, thereby sealing the cabinet inlet hole.

[0038] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2-3As shown, the frame 1 is a connectable structure, including a first frame 11 and a second frame 12. The first connector 111 is a rack with a C-shaped cross section, and the second connector 112 is a rack of type I. The first connector 111 has a cutting line, and the second connector 112 has a cutting line.

[0039] First, the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are cut to size according to the size of the rack inlet hole. The first frame 11 and the second frame 12 can be moved. The first frame 11 or the second frame 12 can be moved according to the spatial position. For example, when the rack inlet hole is placed close to the wall on the left side, and the first frame 11 cannot be adjusted, the second frame 12 can be adjusted to achieve the function of connecting the frame to fit the size of the inlet hole. At the same time, the C-shaped rack and the type I rack can lock the frame. The first connector and the second connector can also be interlocking slots.

[0040] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the slot wall forming the slot is hollowed out. The slot wall consists of an upper crossbeam 113 and a lower crossbeam 114, which provides fixed support for the sealing strip 2. This also helps to save materials and reduce costs, and facilitates the adjustment of the position of the sealing strip 2. The slot wall can also be set as a hollowed-out slot wall of other shapes.

[0041] Specifically, fireproof putty is spread evenly on the frame 1 to fix the frame 1.

[0042] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the thickness of the slot is less than the thickness of the frame 1, specifically, it can be 1-1.5 cm. Fireproof putty is spread evenly on the surface of the slot to fix and seal the frame 1, the slot and the sealing strip 2, so that the sealing is tighter, flatter and without light transmission or gaps.

[0043] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the sealing strip 2 is made of rubber material, such as EPDM ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber or silicone rubber. This material is beneficial for the sealing strip 2 to fill gaps and isolate the external environment for a long time, adapting to temperature and humidity changes in the cabinet usage scenario. In addition, the rubber material has good elasticity, and the sealing strip 2 can better fit the shape of the wire end 3, making the gap sealing more tight.

[0044] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, 10-20 sealing strips 2 are provided in the slot to improve the flexibility of sealing according to the size and shape of the wire end 3 that needs to be sealed.

[0045] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the length of the sealing strip 2 is greater than the depth of the slot, specifically 0.5 cm, which allows the sealing strip 2 to move more easily.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the frame 1 is a stainless steel component, or it can be an aluminum alloy component, to prevent the frame from rusting and being damaged.

[0047] Example 2 The adjustable sealing module for the cabinet inlet hole, as described in Example 1, has the following usage process: S1. First, mark the sealing inlet hole size using the adjustable sealing module of the cabinet inlet hole, and cut the first frame 11 of the adjustable sealing module of the cabinet inlet hole into a C-shaped rack and the second frame 12 into a shaped rack.

[0048] S2. Connect the adjustable sealing module of the cabinet inlet hole to the C-shaped rack and the type I rack respectively, and adjust them to the marked size.

[0049] S3. The sealing strip 2 of the adjustable sealing module of the cabinet inlet hole is adjusted to the wire handle so that the sealing strip 2 of the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 of the adjustable sealing module of the cabinet inlet hole completely seals the gap of the cabinet inlet hole.

[0050] S4. Spread the fireproof putty evenly in the adjustable sealing module of the cabinet inlet hole. The seal should be tight, flat, and without light transmission or gaps. The surface of the fireproof putty should be smooth.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
