Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an installation device and a housing for a communication device, and more particularly to an installation device and a housing for a visualization device for a power communication backbone network link. Background Technology

[0002] There are various types of network-related equipment used in the field of power communication. One type is equipment used for visualization of power communication backbone network links. This type of equipment is generally fixed on a metal rack for short-term operation and maintenance work such as initial debugging, daily maintenance, fault repair and link weight adjustment. Therefore, the equipment needs to have the ability to be flexibly deployed.

[0003] Conventional installation methods for communication equipment in equipment rooms involve bolt fixing or DIN rail mounting. While these methods offer high security, they are cumbersome to operate, require complex installation components, and hinder flexible deployment. The main component of link visualization equipment is a high-definition display panel. It is lightweight and does not require long-term mounting to a rack, making it well-suited for magnetic installation. Magnetic installation is quick and does not damage the mounting surface, making it particularly suitable for flexible deployment applications.

[0004] However, using magnetic mounting in communication equipment rooms carries certain risks. The main reason is that some equipment within these rooms is susceptible to magnetic interference, especially devices containing magnetically sensitive components, such as those with magnetic storage media, magnetic sensors, and microwave communication equipment. Directly applying existing magnetic mounting devices to link visualization equipment could cause serious consequences, including signal distortion and data loss for other devices in the equipment room.

[0005] In the utility model patent entitled "A Magnetically Shielded Dual-Stage Microstrip Circulator Assembly" (CN 201994394 U), a magnetically shielded dual-stage microstrip circulator assembly is disclosed. A metal shielding plate 103 with soft magnetic properties is placed on two permanent magnet plates 104 with opposite magnetic field directions in the dual-stage microstrip circulator assembly. A closed magnetic circuit is formed by the grounded support plate 101, the ferrite substrate 102, the permanent magnet plates 104, and the shielding plate 103. This cleverly solves the magnetic shielding problem, effectively reducing the influence of leakage magnetic fields on surrounding components and avoiding the influence of external magnetic fields and ferromagnetic materials on the device's magnetic field.

[0006] In the above technical solution, although the soft magnetic metal shielding sheet effectively shields the magnetic field, the completely closed shielding device isolates the magnetic lines of force, and the device also loses its adsorption capacity. The above technical solution does not provide a solution that can effectively shield the magnetic field while maintaining the magnetic adsorption capacity, making this technical solution unsuitable for direct application to magnetic installation devices.

[0007] To achieve magnetic installation of visualization equipment for power communication backbone network links, a magnetic installation device is needed that can effectively shield the magnetic field from the surrounding environment while firmly attaching the equipment to the rack. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the challenge of minimizing the magnetic field impact on surrounding equipment while ensuring stable mounting of link visualization devices on racks during magnetic installation, this invention provides an installation device and housing for power communication backbone network link visualization devices.

[0009] An installation device for a power communication backbone link visualization device includes a magnet. The installation device also includes a soft magnetic metal protective shell. The magnet is enclosed inside the shell of the soft magnetic metal protective shell. A magnetic window is provided on the adsorption surface of the soft magnetic metal protective shell. A connector for connecting to the link visualization device is provided on the soft magnetic metal protective shell.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer edge of the magnetic window is provided with a soft magnetic metal frame, the width of which is 0.5-1mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the magnetically conductive windows are uniformly distributed circular through holes with a diameter of 3-5 mm and an opening ratio of 30%-40%.

[0012] Furthermore, the magnet is a neodymium magnet.

[0013] A device housing for a power communication backbone network link visualization device includes a housing, and an installation device is fixedly connected to the housing. The installation device includes a magnet and a soft magnetic metal protective shell. The magnet is enclosed inside the housing of the soft magnetic metal protective shell. A magnetic window is opened on the adsorption surface of the soft magnetic metal protective shell. The soft magnetic metal protective shell is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer edge of the magnetic window is provided with a soft magnetic metal frame, the width of which is 0.5-1mm.

[0015] Furthermore, the magnetically conductive windows are uniformly distributed circular through holes with a diameter of 3-5 mm and an opening ratio of 30%-40%. Furthermore, the back of the housing is provided with an inwardly recessed circular mounting groove, and a screw hole is provided at the center of the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0016] Furthermore, a magnet through hole is provided at the center of the magnet, and the soft magnetic metal protective shell extends and wraps around the inner wall of the magnet through hole to form a complete cavity with stepped through holes. The size and shape of the soft magnetic metal protective shell are consistent with the circular mounting groove. After fitting and installation, the adsorption surface of the soft magnetic metal protective shell is flush with the back of the shell, and the soft magnetic metal protective shell is fixed in the mounting groove by the connector. Furthermore, four sets of mounting devices are installed on the back of the housing in a symmetrical arrangement at the four corners.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This utility model's installation device and equipment housing include a soft magnetic metal protective shell. The soft magnetic metal protective shell maintains a fully enclosed design on the non-adsorption surface, confining the magnetic field of the magnet inside the protective shell through its magnetic permeability, reducing magnetic field leakage and preventing interference with the equipment's circuitry. Uniformly distributed magnetic permeable windows are opened on the adsorption surface, without obstructing the magnet, allowing some magnetic lines of force to directly penetrate the windows and extend to the external metal rack, thus enabling the link visualization device to be adsorbed onto the metal rack. This magnetic installation device and equipment housing change the traditional cumbersome and complex equipment installation method. Using this device, the device can be easily fixed to the metal rack, regardless of whether the metal rack has appropriately positioned mounting screw holes or mounting rails, making it ideal for the flexible deployment requirements of power communication backbone network link visualization equipment. Furthermore, the installation device and equipment housing of this utility model have a soft magnetic frame of a certain width on the outer edge of the magnetic window. The frame part guides the remaining magnetic lines of force to be concentrated and discharged to the adsorption surface through the soft magnetic metal material, which not only enhances the adsorption force, but also avoids the disorderly diffusion of the magnetic field, and greatly reduces the magnetic field interference of the magnetic adsorption component to the computer room equipment.

Detailed Implementation The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] Example 1: like Figure 2 Figure 3 As shown, the installation device includes a magnet 2 and a soft magnetic metal protective shell 5. The magnet 2 is a neodymium magnet that meets the magnetic force requirements. The magnet 2 is placed in the shell of the soft magnetic metal protective shell 5. The soft magnetic metal protective shell 5 has magnetically conductive windows 6 on its adsorption surface. The magnetically conductive windows 6 are uniformly distributed circular through holes with a diameter of 3-5 mm and an opening rate of 30%-40%. The outer edge of the magnetically conductive windows 6 is provided with a soft magnetic metal frame 9 with a width of 0.5-1 mm. The soft magnetic metal protective shell 5 is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the link visualization device through a connector 4. The connector can be a buckle, flange, bolt, adhesive tape, suction cup, etc. In this embodiment, the connector 4 is a combination of lugs and screws, which has a simple structure, is firmly installed, and has wide applicability.

[0021] Example 2: like Figure 3 Figure 4 As shown, four sets of mounting devices 1 are symmetrically positioned at the four corners of the back of the housing 10 of the equipment casing. Each set of mounting devices 1 includes a magnet 2 and a soft magnetic metal protective shell 5. The back of the housing 10 has an inwardly recessed circular mounting groove 7, with a mounting screw hole 8 at the center of the bottom of the circular mounting groove 7. The magnet 2 has a through hole at its center, and the magnet 2 is completely enclosed in the soft magnetic metal protective shell 5. At the through hole of the magnet, the soft magnetic metal protective shell 5 extends to enclose the inner wall of the through hole, forming a complete cavity with a stepped through hole 3. Several evenly distributed magnetically conductive windows 6 are opened on the adsorption surface of the soft magnetic metal protective shell 5. The magnetically conductive windows are circular through holes with a diameter of 3-5 mm and an opening ratio of 30%-40%. The edges of the magnetically conductive windows have a 0.5-1 mm diameter. The soft magnetic metal frame 2 is mm thick, and the soft magnetic metal protective shell 5 is placed in the circular mounting groove 7 with the adsorption surface facing outward. The size and shape of the magnet 2, the soft magnetic metal protective shell 5 and the circular mounting groove 7 are matched. After being placed in close contact, the adsorption surface of the soft magnetic metal protective shell 5 is flush with the back of the shell 10. The magnet 2 and the soft magnetic metal protective shell 5 are fixedly installed in the circular mounting groove 7 by the connector 4. In this embodiment, the connector is a screw, which cooperates with the stepped through hole 3 on the soft magnetic metal protective shell. The structure is simple and the installation is firm. The connector does not protrude from the equipment shell, which is conducive to the equipment shell being better adsorbed on the frame. The magnet 2 is a neodymium magnet that meets the magnetic force requirements to ensure stable adsorption between the device and the metal carrier.

[0022] Within the equipment rooms of power communication backbone networks, the core equipment involved in communication links mainly includes core routers, core switches, and fiber optic distribution frames. These types of equipment are not highly sensitive to static magnetic fields of ordinary strength. When the magnetic field strength is in the millitalas range and the distance from the equipment is more than 30 centimeters, the impact on these devices is relatively small. Therefore, although the metal racks of the equipment are often not made of soft magnetic metal, and there may be some magnetic field leakage when the equipment is directly attached to the rack through a magnetic window, the impact on the core equipment is negligible. However, it is still possible that there are still devices that are highly sensitive to magnetic fields installed near the metal racks.

[0023] To address the above issues, in addition to Embodiments 1 and 2, the mounting device also includes a soft magnetic metal mounting plate, roughly the same size as the device housing. The soft magnetic metal mounting plate is fixed to the rack at its four corners with screws. When the link visualization device needs to be deployed on this rack, the device is attached to the soft magnetic metal mounting plate. In this case, the soft magnetic metal protective shell, the soft magnetic metal frame, and the soft magnetic metal mounting plate together form a completely enclosed shielded space, further reducing the impact of magnetic field leakage on other devices.

[0024] The above solution also applies to situations where the equipment frame is made of a non-ferromagnetic material and cannot be magnetically attracted.
