Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of patch panel technology, and in particular to a network cable patch panel. Background Technology

[0002] A patch panel is a device used for end-user lines or trunk lines and for configuring and connecting them. The patch panel is the most important component in the management subsystem, serving as the hub for cross-connecting the vertical backbone and horizontal cabling subsystems. Most existing patch panels are equipped with cable management devices to fix and classify cables, improving neatness and maintainability, thereby ensuring the neatness of network cables and the cleanliness of the cabinet, and reducing human trampling on network cables and blockage of air ducts; However, in existing technologies, when multiple patch panels are stacked, they need to be used in conjunction with independent cable management racks, which increases the overall size and thus the space occupied by the cabinet, making it unsuitable for high-density deployment. Generally, patch panels can only manage one cable at a time during installation, which cannot provide flexible cable management. In addition, patch panels are generally secured with cable ties or screws, which makes daily installation, adjustment, and replacement operations cumbersome and unable to be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions. Furthermore, over time, this may cause damage to the cables, making them difficult to use. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1 like Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a network cable patch panel, comprising: a patch panel 1, characterized in that a cable management component 2 is provided on one side of the patch panel 1, the cable management component 2 includes a cable management frame 21, limiters 22 are provided at both ends of the cable management frame 21, a sliding plate 23 is provided on the bottom side of the cable management frame 21, telescopic components 24 are provided on the bottom sides of both ends of the sliding plate 23, the cable management frame 21 includes a cable organizer 211, a fixing rod 212 is provided at the top of both sides of the cable organizer 211, a fixing shaft 213 is provided on the outer side of the fixing rod 212, a circular groove 214 is carved at both ends of the cable organizer 211, a retaining ring 224 is provided on the side of the circular groove 214 away from the fixing rod 212, a bolt 221 is provided on one side of the retaining ring 224, a washer 222 is provided on the outer side of the bolt 221, and a fixing block 223 is provided on the side of the washer 222 near the retaining ring 224.

[0023] In this embodiment, by providing a cable management component 2 on one side of the patch panel 1, the cable manager 211 can slide up and down inside the sliding grooves carved at both ends of the sliding plate 23. When the cable manager 211 moves upward, both ends of the cable manager 211 can slide upward along the sliding grooves carved at both ends of the sliding plate 23, so that the twenty-four equidistant limiting grooves 215 on the cable manager 211 can be used to accommodate and organize the network cables at the rear ends of the twenty-four termination modules 12 set at the front end of the patch panel 1, and the network cables at the rear ends of the termination modules 12 can fit with the limiting grooves 215, thereby not damaging the network cables, and thus realizing the management of multiple network cables at once. When the cable manager 211 fits with the network cable, When the sliding plate 23 is in use, it can be limited by the limiters 22 at both ends. By rotating the bolt 221, it can be threaded to move with the fixing block 223, which drives the retaining ring 224 fixedly connected to it to engage with the circular grooves 214 cut at both ends of the cable organizer 211. The washer 222 set at one end of the bolt 221 can enhance the connection and ensure that the limit is reliable and not easy to fall off. Both ends of the patch panel 1 are cut with circular grooves 4, so that the patch panel 1 can be fixed to the cabinet with fasteners. The fixing rods 212 and fixing shafts 213 set on both sides of the cable organizer 211 can play a role in preventing falling off when cable management is not needed, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0024] Example 2 like Figures 5-6As shown, square grooves 3 are carved at both ends of one side of the patch panel 1. Two fixing blocks 11 are equally spaced at both ends of the inner side of the square grooves 11. A telescopic component 24 is provided on one side of the fixing blocks 11. The telescopic component 24 includes a sliding block 243. A square groove 244 is carved inside the sliding block 243. A spring 242 is provided inside the square groove 244. A telescopic block 241 is provided at the end of the spring 242 away from the sliding block 243. The side of the fixing block 11 away from the telescopic component 24 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the square groove 3. The inner surface of the square groove 13 is slidably connected to the bottom of the telescopic component 24. The inside of the sliding block 243 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 242. The end of the spring 242 away from the sliding block 243 is fixedly connected to the side of the telescopic block 241. One side of the outer surface of the sliding block 243 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the sliding plate 23. The side of the sliding plate 23 away from the telescopic component 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing block 223.

[0025] In this embodiment, the telescopic component 24 slides inside the square groove 3 carved at both ends on one side of the patch panel 1, allowing the cable management component 2 to move horizontally. This allows the cable management component 2 to be adjusted according to different wiring configurations. When the telescopic component 24 moves horizontally, the movement of the sliding block 243 drives the sliding plate 23, which is fixedly connected to one side of its outer surface, to move, thereby driving the cable management frame 21 to move. At this time, the telescopic block 241 retracts into the square groove 244 due to the compression of the spring 242 and the mutual compression of the fixed block 11. This releases the limiting position of the sliding plate 23, allowing the cable management component to move horizontally. When adjusted to a suitable position, the sliding plate 23 drives the telescopic component 24 to move, so that the telescopic block 241 is aligned with the gap between the two fixed blocks 11 at equal intervals on one end of the inner side of the square groove 3. At this time, the telescopic block 241 is no longer compressed by the fixed blocks 11 and pops out under the compression of the spring 242, locking into the gap between the two fixed blocks 11, thereby limiting the sliding plate 23 and the cable management component 2.

[0026] like Figures 1-7 As shown: When using this utility model, first pull up the lifting ring 216 on one side of the cable organizer 211, so that the cable organizer 211 slides upward along the sliding grooves carved at both ends of the sliding plate 23. When it slides to a certain position, the twenty-four limiting grooves 215 carved on the surface of the cable organizer 211 correspond one-to-one with the network cables connected to the termination module 12, realizing the organization and fixation of multiple network cables. When all the network cables are engaged with the limiting grooves 215 carved on the surface of the cable organizer 211, they are limited by the limiters 22 at both ends of the cable organizer 21. At this time, rotate the bolt 221 to make the retaining ring 2 24 can fit into the circular grooves 214 cut at both ends of the cable organizer 211, thus fixing it in place and preventing it from easily coming loose. When it is necessary to adjust the cable length, the limiter 22 is pushed to move horizontally, which in turn drives the telescopic component 24 fixedly connected to the sliding plate 23 to move. The telescopic component 24 slides along the square groove 3 cut on the cable tray 1. During the sliding process, the telescopic block 241 in the telescopic component 24 interacts with the fixed block 11 under the squeezing action of the spring 242, automatically limiting the cable organizer 2, thereby realizing the front and rear adjustment of the cable tray 21.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
