The bracket comprises a support plate and a hanging structure, wherein the hanging structure is located on a side portion of the support plate; and the support plate is provided with a slot, a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure, the first limiting structure being located on a first end of the slot, the second limiting structure being located on a second end of the slot, and the limiting function of at least one of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure being releasable. When a network device needs to be fixed on the bracket, the limiting function of one of the limiting structures is released, the network device is inserted into the slot, and then the limiting function of the limiting structure is restored.

Description

Support and network device assembly

[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202421458167.8, filed on June 25, 2024, with the utility model name of "Support and network device assembly", the whole content of which is incorporated into the present disclosure by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of optical communication technology, in particular to a support and network device assembly. BACKGROUND

[0003] Fiber to the room (FTTR) is a new networking solution that extends optical fibers to each room or office based on fiber to the building (FTTB) and fiber to the home (FTTH), so that each room or office can achieve gigabit or even terabit optical network speed, and realize full coverage of gigabit or above in the whole house.

[0004] The network device of FTTR, such as the main gateway, needs to have multiple installation methods due to the diversification of the actual installation scene, such as the installation function of being placed on the desktop and the installation function of being hung on the wall.

[0005] However, in the related art, for the network device hung on the wall, the operation is relatively cumbersome during removal, which is not conducive to the maintenance and repair of the network device. SUMMARY

[0006] The present disclosure provides a support and network device assembly, which is simple to disassemble between the network device and the support, and is conducive to the maintenance and repair of the network device hung on the wall.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a support, which comprises a support plate and a hanging structure, the hanging structure is located at the side of the support plate, and is used for being hung on a wall;

[0008] The support plate has a slot, a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure, the first limiting structure is located at the first end of the slot along the plug-in direction, the second limiting structure is located at the second end of the slot along the plug-in direction, and the limiting function of at least one of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure can be released.

[0009] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, taking the release of the limiting function of the first limiting structure as an example, when the network device needs to be fixed on the support, the limiting function of the first limiting structure is released (the limiting function of the second limiting structure is maintained), the base of the network device is inserted into the slot, and when the base contacts the second limiting structure after being inserted, it can be considered that the network device has been inserted in place, and the limiting function of the first limiting structure is restored.

[0010] When the network device needs to be removed from the support, the limiting function of the first limiting structure is released, the network device is pulled out of the slot, and after being completely pulled out, the limiting function of the first limiting structure is restored.

[0011] It can be seen that during the assembly and disassembly between the network device and the support, the release of the limiting function of the first limiting structure and the insertion and removal of the network device can be performed in sequence, and it is not necessary for two persons to cooperate to operate, even if the release of the limiting function of the first limiting structure and the insertion and removal of the network device are performed at the same time, one person can cooperate to operate by using the left hand and the right hand, and it is not necessary for two persons to cooperate to operate, so that the support simplifies the assembly and disassembly between the network device and the support, and is conducive to the maintenance and repair of the network device hung on the wall.

[0012] In a possible implementation manner, the first limiting structure comprises a protruding structure arranged at the bottom of the slot, and the protruding structure has elasticity, the first limiting structure is in a limiting state when the protruding structure is in a pop-up state, and the first limiting structure is in a released limiting state when the protruding structure is in a retracted state.

[0013] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, the protruding structure can be a cylindrical protruding structure or a polygonal columnar protruding structure, and the protruding structure has elasticity, is in a retracted state when being pressed down, and no longer plays a limiting role, and is in a pop-up state when not being pressed down, and the limiting role is restored.

[0014] In a possible implementation manner, the first limiting structure further comprises a key, and the key is connected with the protruding structure.

[0015] When the key is pressed down, the protruding structure is in a retracted state, and when the key is not pressed down, the protruding structure is in a pop-up state.

[0016] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, the key is connected with the protruding structure of the first limiting structure, the protruding structure is in a retracted state when the key is pressed down, the protruding structure is in a pop-up state when the key is not pressed down, and the key is located outside the slot, so that when the key is operated, the base of the network device in the slot is not interfered with the insertion and removal, and the assembly and disassembly of the network device and the support are more convenient.

[0017] In a possible implementation manner, the first limiting structure is detachably installed at the bottom of the slot.

[0018] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, the first limiting structure is detachably assembled on the slot bottom of the slot. Thus, when the limiting of the first limiting structure needs to be released, the first limiting structure only needs to be detached from the slot. When the limiting of the first limiting structure needs to be restored, the first limiting structure only needs to be assembled on the slot bottom of the slot.

[0019] In a possible implementation, the second limiting structure is a protruding structure arranged on the slot bottom.

[0020] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, the second limiting structure can have a limiting function that can be released. The limiting function of the second limiting structure can also be unreleasable. For example, the second limiting structure is a protruding structure arranged on the slot bottom.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the plug-in direction of the slot is parallel or perpendicular to the plane where the hanging structure is located.

[0022] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, the plug-in direction of the slot is parallel to the plane where the hanging structure is located. Thus, the user or the technician faces the wall and inserts or pulls out the network device into or from the slot from left to right or from right to left. The plug-in direction of the slot is perpendicular to the plane where the hanging structure is located. Thus, the user or the technician faces the wall and inserts or pulls out the network device into or from the slot from front to back or from back to front.

[0023] In a possible implementation, the support plate further comprises a hanging plate, the hanging plate is vertically located on one side of the support plate, and the hanging structure is arranged on the hanging plate.

[0024] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, the hanging structure can be directly arranged on one side of the support plate or arranged on the hanging plate. The hanging plate is vertically located on one side of the support plate.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the support plate has an opening penetrating through the thickness direction, and the opening is used for wiring.

[0026] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, because the network device also needs to be connected with other devices, for example, needs to be connected with a power supply, needs to be connected with a television, etc., the support plate of the support plate has an opening penetrating through the thickness direction. Thus, the connection line between the network device and other devices can pass through the opening. In addition, the opening of the support plate can also play a role in heat dissipation for the network device.

[0027] In a second aspect, a network device assembly is provided, which comprises a network device and the support plate of the first aspect. The base of the network device is inserted into the slot and limited between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure.

[0028] The network device can be a master gateway of a fiber to the room FTTR.

[0029] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, taking the disengagement of the limiting function of the first limiting structure as an example, when it is needed to fix the network device on the support, the limiting function of the first limiting structure is disengaged (the limiting function of the second limiting structure is maintained), the base of the network device is inserted into the slot, and when the base contacts the second limiting structure after being inserted, it can be considered that the network device has been inserted in place, and the limiting function of the first limiting structure is restored. When it is needed to remove the network device from the support, the limiting function of the first limiting structure is disengaged, the network device is pulled out of the slot, and after being completely pulled out, the limiting function of the first limiting structure is restored.

[0030] It can be seen that, in the assembly and disassembly process between the network device and the support, the disengagement of the limiting function of the first limiting structure and the insertion and removal of the network device can be performed in sequence, and it is not necessary for two persons to cooperate in operation. Even if the disengagement of the limiting function of the first limiting structure and the insertion and removal of the network device are performed at the same time, one person can cooperate in operation by using the left hand and the right hand, and it is not necessary for two persons to cooperate in operation. Therefore, the support simplifies the assembly and disassembly between the network device and the support, and is conducive to the maintenance and repair of the network device hung on the wall surface.

[0031] In a possible implementation manner, the base has an eight-shaped cross section, and the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure are both accommodated in the base.

[0032] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, the base has an eight-shaped cross section, and includes a first inclined wall and a second inclined wall. After the first inclined wall and the second inclined wall are inserted into the slot, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure can be accommodated and hidden in the space between the first inclined wall and the second inclined wall, thereby improving the arrangement aesthetics of the network device.

[0033] In a possible implementation manner, the base includes a first inclined wall, a second inclined wall, and a reinforcing rib, and the reinforcing rib is located between the first inclined wall and the second inclined wall.

[0034] The first inclined wall and the second inclined wall are both inserted into the slot, a first end of the reinforcing rib contacts the first limiting structure, and a second end of the reinforcing rib contacts the second limiting structure.

[0035] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, the reinforcing rib located between the first inclined wall and the second inclined wall enhances the rigidity and strength of the base on the one hand, and the first end of the reinforcing rib cooperates with the first limiting structure to limit, and the second end of the reinforcing rib cooperates with the second limiting structure to limit, so that the first inclined wall and the second inclined wall are inserted into the slot, and the reinforcing rib is limited between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] For the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure to be clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present disclosure in connection with the drawings.

[0044] The embodiments of the present application relate to a network device, which can be a terminal device arranged at a user side in the field of network communication, for example, can be a gateway arranged in a user room or office when networking in a fiber to the room (FTTR) manner, and can be a master gateway or a slave gateway.

[0045] The network device arranged in a user room or office is usually arranged in a room or office in a manner of standing on a desktop or hanging on a wall. For example, if standing on a desktop, the network device can be directly placed on the desktop through its base, and if hanging on a wall, the network device is either directly hung on the wall or hung on the wall through a bracket. Since the back of the network device has interfaces such as network ports and power ports, the back of the network device needs to be wired, so the network device is generally not directly hung on the wall, but is mostly hung on the wall through a bracket, for example, the network device is fixed on the bracket, and the bracket is hung on the wall.

[0046] Because the network device is in use, there is a situation of maintenance and maintenance, so the network device and the support are detachably assembled together. At present, the disassembly of the network device and the support is relatively cumbersome, for example, in the process of taking the network device off the support, two people need to cooperate to operate, one person is responsible for operating the support to release the assembly relationship between the support and the network device, and the other person is responsible for loading or taking off the network device, such as inserting or pulling out the network device.

[0047] Therefore, the embodiment provides a support for implementing network device hanging, as shown in Figure 1, which is a structural schematic diagram of the network device fixed on the support. Referring to Figure 1, the network device assembly includes a support 10 and a network device 20. Wherein, the network device can be a device in FTTR network deployment mode, such as a main gateway, or a device in passive optical network (PON) fiber access technology, such as an optical network terminal (ONT), or a wireless local area network (WLAN) device, such as an access point (AP).

[0048] As shown in Figure 2, it is a structural schematic diagram of the support 10. Referring to Figure 2, the support includes a support plate 1 and a hanging structure 21, wherein the hanging structure 21 is used for hanging on the wall, and the support plate 1 is used for supporting and fixing the network device 20.

[0049] In an example, the hanging structure 21 can be a hanging hole for hanging on the screw nailed on the wall. In another example, the hanging structure 21 can also be a hook. The embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the hanging structure 21, which can be hung on the wall. For convenience, the hanging structure 21 in the embodiment is taken as a hanging hole example.

[0050] In an example, the number of hanging structures 21 can be one or more, for example, the number of hanging structures 21 is one, then the hanging structure 21 can be arranged at the middle position of the length direction of one side of the support plate 1. For example, the number of hanging structures 21 is two, two hanging structures 21 are located on the same side of the support plate 1 and the two hanging structures 21 are distributed at intervals. Of course, the number of hanging structures 21 can also be more. The embodiment does not limit the number of hanging structures 21, and two examples are taken in the drawings.

[0051] In an example, the hanging structure 21 can be directly arranged on the support plate 1, or can be arranged on a plate (denoted as a hanging plate 2). For example, referring to FIG. 2, the support plate 1 further includes a hanging plate 2 which is perpendicular to one side of the support plate 1, and the hanging structure 21 is arranged on the hanging plate 2. The support plate 1 and the hanging plate 2 can be an integrally formed L-shaped plate, or the support plate 1 and the hanging plate 2 can be two independent plates which are fixed together in assembly.

[0052] The above are the related features of the hanging structure 21, and the features of the support plate 1 will be introduced below.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 2, the support plate 1 has a slot 11, a first limiting structure 12 and a second limiting structure 13. The slot 11 is matched with the base 202 of the network device 20, so that the base 202 of the network device 20 can be inserted into the slot 11 to achieve assembly with the support. The first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 are used to limit the network device 20 in the slot 11. The first limiting structure 12 can be located at a first end of the slot 11 along the insertion direction, and the second limiting structure 13 can be located at a second end of the slot 11 along the insertion direction. The first end and the second end are opposite ends of the slot 11 along the insertion direction.

[0054] At least one of the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 has a function of limiting function release. For example, the limiting function of the first limiting structure 12 can be released, or the limiting function of the second limiting structure 13 can be released, or the limiting functions of the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 can be released. For ease of introduction, the example of releasing the limiting function of the first limiting structure 12 is taken.

[0055] In this way, when it is needed to insert the base 202 of the network device 20 into the slot 11 of the support plate 1, the limiting function of the first limiting structure 12 is first released, while the second limiting structure 13 still has the limiting function, and then the network device 20 is inserted into the slot 11 from the end where the first limiting structure 12 is located. When the network device moves to the position where the base 202 of the network device abuts against the second limiting structure 13 in the slot 11, the network device no longer continues to move, and at this time it can be considered that the base 202 of the network device has been inserted to the bottom (or to the position) in the slot 11, and then the first limiting structure 12 restores the limiting function. The first limiting structure 12 can automatically restore the limiting function, or the limiting function can be restored by user operation.

[0056] When it is needed to dismount the network device from the support, the limiting function of the first limiting structure 12 is released, and the network device is pulled out from the slot 11. In the dismounting operation, one hand of the user can be used to release the limiting function of the first limiting structure 12, and the other hand is used to pull out the network device, or, the user can first release the limiting function of the first limiting structure 12, and then pull out the network device. However, no matter how the operation is performed, the user can dismount the network device from the support by himself.

[0057] It can be seen that, in the process of assembling the network device on the support, and in the process of dismounting the network device from the support, the operation is relatively simple, and multiple persons are not needed to cooperate to operate, and the support is beneficial to the maintenance and repair of the hung network device.

[0058] Regarding the features of the slot 11 on the support plate 1. In the introduction, the terms of left and right, front and back, and up and down will be involved, as shown in FIG. 1, the position arrangement direction of the network device and the hanging structure 21 is taken as the front and back direction, specifically, the direction of the hanging structure 21 is taken as the front, the direction of the network device is taken as the back, the direction perpendicular to the front and back direction in the horizontal plane is taken as the left and right direction, and the direction perpendicular to the front and back direction in the vertical plane is taken as the up and down direction, specifically, the direction of the network device is taken as the up, and the direction of the support plate 1 is taken as the down.

[0059] In an example, the plug-in and pull-out direction of the slot 11 is perpendicular or parallel to the plane where the hanging structure 21 is located. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the plane where the hanging structure 21 is located is also the plane where the hanging plate 2 is located, and the plug-in and pull-out direction of the slot 11 is parallel to the hanging plate 2, then it can be considered that the plug-in and pull-out direction of the network device in the slot 11 is the left and right direction, that is, the network device is inserted into the slot 11 and pulled out from the slot 11 in the left and right direction.

[0060] For another example, the plug-in and pull-out direction of the slot 11 is perpendicular to the hanging plate 2, then it can be considered that the plug-in and pull-out direction of the network device in the slot 11 is the front and back direction, that is, the base of the network device is moved forward in the slot 11 to be inserted into the slot 11, and is moved backward to be pulled out from the slot 11.

[0061] In this embodiment, the plug-in and pull-out direction of the slot 11 is not limited, and can be the left and right direction or the front and back direction, and for the convenience of introduction, the left and right direction is taken as an example.

[0062] In an example, if the plug-in direction of the slot 11 is the left-right direction as shown in FIG. 2, the slot 11 can be a groove structure with the slot opening and the slot bottom distributed in the up-down direction (e.g., the slot opening is on the top and the slot bottom is on the bottom) and the two ends of the plug-in direction (i.e., the left-right direction) are open. Of course, the slot 11 can also be open at one end along the plug-in direction. If the slot 11 is open at one end, the first limiting structure 12 with the disengagement function is arranged at the open end of the slot 11, so that the network device can be inserted into the slot 11 from the open end of the slot 11.

[0063] In an example, the slot 11 matches the base 202 of the network device, so that the base 202 can be plugged into the slot 11. For example, the shape of the cross section of the slot 11 perpendicular to the plug-in direction matches the cross-sectional shape of the base 202.

[0064] As an example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the structure of the network device is shown. Referring to FIG. 3, the network device includes a device body 201 and a base 202, the device body 201 is fixed on the base 202, and the cross-sectional shape of the base 202 is in the shape of a splay. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the cross section of the slot 11 perpendicular to the plug-in direction is shown. Referring to FIG. 5, the two slot walls where the slot opening of the slot 11 is located form a splay. Among them, the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 are not shown in FIG. 5.

[0065] As another example, if the base 202 of the network device is in a flat structure, as shown in FIG. 6, the cross-sectional shape of the slot 11 perpendicular to the plug-in direction is in the shape of a rectangle.

[0066] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the cross-sectional shape of the slot 11 perpendicular to the plug-in direction, and the above-mentioned splay or rectangle are only examples, and can also be any other shape, such as a circular arc, as long as it matches the cross-sectional shape of the base 202.

[0067] In an example, the length of the slot 11 along the plug-in direction can be equal to or not equal to the length of the base 202 along the plug-in direction. For example, the length of the base 202 is greater than the length of the slot 11, or the length of the slot 11 is greater than the length of the base 202. Among them, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the relationship between the length of the slot 11 and the length of the base 202, and the length of the slot 11, the length of the base 202 and the length of the support plate 1 are equal or close to equal.

[0068] Regarding the features of the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13.

[0069] In an example, the first limiting structure 12 has a limiting function and a release function. For example, the first limiting structure 12 can include a protruding structure 121 arranged at the bottom of the slot 11. The protruding structure 121 is elastic. When the protruding structure 121 is in an open state, the protruding structure 121 is in a limiting state. When the protruding structure 121 is in a retracted state, the protruding structure 121 is in a released state.

[0070] In an example, the protruding structure 121 can be a cylindrical protruding structure in shape. The top end of the protruding structure 121 is a spherical surface, so as to facilitate the insertion of the network device into the slot 11. In another example, the protruding structure 121 can also be a rectangular column in shape. The top end of the protruding structure 121 has a guide slope or a guide arc surface, so as to facilitate the insertion of the base of the network device into the slot 11.

[0071] In application, the user can press the protruding structure 121 to make the protruding structure 121 in the retracted state, so as to release the limiting function. During the insertion and removal of the network device in the slot 11, the protruding structure 121 is always pressed under the network device, so as to be in the released state. When the network device is removed from the slot 11, the protruding structure 121 rebounds automatically to recover the limiting function.

[0072] In another example, as shown in FIG. 2, the first limiting structure 12 can also include a button 122. The button 122 is connected with the protruding structure 121. As shown in FIG. 2, the protruding structure 121 is arranged at the bottom of the slot 11, and the button 122 is arranged outside the slot 11, so as not to interfere with the insertion of the network device into the slot 11.

[0073] When the button 122 is pressed, the protruding structure 121 is in the retracted state. When the button 122 is not pressed, the protruding structure 121 is in the open state. That is, the retraction and opening of the protruding structure 121 can be realized by operating the button 122.

[0074] The above is that the first limiting structure 12 realizes the limiting function and the release function by being elastic. In other examples, the first limiting structure 12 can also be detachably arranged at the bottom of the slot 11. For example, the bottom of the slot 11 has a socket, and the first limiting structure 12 can be plugged into the socket. In this way, when the first limiting structure 12 is needed to limit, the first limiting structure 12 is assembled at the bottom of the slot 11. When the first limiting structure 12 is not needed to limit, the first limiting structure 12 is detached from the bottom of the slot 11.

[0075] In some examples, the first limiting structure 12 can also be a rotatable structure. When the first limiting structure 12 needs to limit the network device, the first limiting structure 12 is rotated to a position for limiting. When the first limiting structure 12 does not need to limit the network device, the first limiting structure 12 is rotated to a position for un-limiting. For example, when the first limiting structure 12 needs to limit the network device, the first limiting structure 12 is rotated to stand in the first end of the slot 11 to block the base of the network device. When the first limiting structure 12 does not need to limit the network device, the first limiting structure 12 is rotated to the lower side of the support plate 1, i.e. the direction opposite to the bottom of the slot 11.

[0076] In some examples, if the second limiting structure 13 also has the function of un-limiting, the structure of the second limiting structure 13 can also have the features of the first limiting structure 12 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0077] In some examples, the second limiting structure 13 can also be a structure without the function of un-limiting. As shown in FIG. 2, the second limiting structure 13 can be a protruding structure arranged on the bottom of the slot 11. The protruding structure can be a cylindrical structure or a polygonal column structure.

[0078] The above are the features of the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13. The following describes the implementation of the limiting of the base of the network device between the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13.

[0079] In some examples, the base 202 of the network device is limited between the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13. Specifically, the first end of the base of the network device is in contact with the first limiting structure 12, and the second end of the base is in contact with the second limiting structure 13, so that the network device is limited between the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13. The first end and the second end of the base are two ends opposite to each other along the plug-in direction.

[0080] In an example, the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 can be accommodated in the base 202 of the network device, for example, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the base 202 is in the shape of a splay, including a first inclined wall 203 and a second inclined wall 204, and can further include a reinforcing rib 205, which is located between the first inclined wall 203 and the second inclined wall 204, wherein, in the plug-in direction of the base 202, the length of the reinforcing rib 205 is less than the length of the first inclined wall 203, the distance between the first end of the reinforcing rib 205 and the first end of the first inclined wall 203 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the first limiting structure 12 in the plug-in direction, and the distance between the second end of the reinforcing rib 205 and the second end of the first inclined wall 203 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the second limiting structure 13 in the plug-in direction. Wherein, the first inclined wall 203 is the inclined wall located at the front of the network device, and the second inclined wall 204 is the inclined wall located at the back of the network device, the length of the second inclined wall 204 is greater than or equal to the length of the reinforcing rib 205 and less than or equal to the length of the first inclined wall 203. The first end and the second end of the first inclined wall 203 are opposite ends in the plug-in direction, and the first end and the second end of the reinforcing rib 205 are also opposite ends in the plug-in direction.

[0081] In this way, the first inclined wall 203 and the second inclined wall 204 are inserted into the slot 11, while the first end of the reinforcing rib 205 is in contact with the first limiting structure 12 and the second end of the reinforcing rib 205 is in contact with the second limiting structure 13, and the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 are accommodated between the first inclined wall 203 and the second inclined wall 204.

[0082] After the base 202 of the network device is inserted into the slot 11, the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 arranged at both ends in the plug-in direction are accommodated in the splay-shaped base 202, so that when the network device is viewed from the front, the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 cannot be seen, thereby improving the arrangement aesthetics of the network device.

[0083] In an example, since the network device also needs to be connected with other devices, for example, needs to be connected with a power supply, needs to be connected with a television, etc., as shown in FIG. 2, the support plate 1 of the bracket has an opening 14 penetrating in the thickness direction, so that the connection line between the network device and other devices can pass through the opening 14. In addition, the opening 14 of the support plate 1 can also play a role in dissipating heat for the network device.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the support for hanging the network device comprises a hanging structure and a support plate, the hanging structure is used for being hung on a wall surface, and the support plate is used for fixing and supporting the network device. In order to fix the network device, the support plate has a slot, a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure, wherein the first limiting structure is arranged at a first end of the slot along the plug-in direction, the second limiting structure is arranged at a second end of the slot along the plug-in direction, and at least one of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure has a function of limiting being released. Taking the function of the first limiting structure being released as an example, when it is needed to fix the network device on the support, the function of the first limiting structure is released (the function of the second limiting structure is kept), the base of the network device is inserted into the slot, when the base is inserted to contact the second limiting structure, at this time, it can be considered that the network device has been inserted in place, and the function of the first limiting structure is restored. When it is needed to take down the network device from the support, the function of the first limiting structure is released, the network device is pulled out of the slot, and after being completely pulled out, the function of the first limiting structure is restored. It can be seen that in the assembly and disassembly process between the network device and the support, the release of the function of the first limiting structure and the plug-in and pull-out of the network device can be performed in sequence, and it is not necessary to operate by two persons. Even if the release of the function of the first limiting structure and the plug-in and pull-out of the network device are performed at the same time, one person can operate by cooperation of the left hand and the right hand, and it is not necessary to operate by two persons. Therefore, the support simplifies the assembly and disassembly between the network device and the support, and is beneficial to the maintenance and repair of the network device hung on the wall surface.

[0085] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a network device assembly. Referring to FIG. 1, the network device assembly comprises a support 10 and a network device 20. The features of the support 10 and the network device 20 are introduced above, and will not be described here.
