The present application relates to the field of network cabling equipment, in particular to a cable arranging mechanism, a connecting plate for distribution and a distribution frame.
Network is indispensable in people's production and life today. In order to facilitate the unified management of network communication equipment and the connection with optical cables, cabinets are needed in most cases to respectively connect a plurality of optical cables to a switch. In this process, one end of the switched cable (or jumper) needs to be connected to the switch and the other end needs to be connected to a network interface of a distribution mechanism.
Due to the large number of network cables in the cabinet, a distribution frame usually has 12 holes, 24 holes and other specifications. Therefore, 12 or 24 jumpers often need to be connected on the distribution frame. Therefore, in order to facilitate the management of cables, cable arranging frames need to be separately provided in most cases, so that they can be used together with the distribution frame, thus facilitating the arrangement of cables.
However, the existing cable arranging frame often occupies a large volume. Generally speaking, the height of the cable arranging frame is required to be 1 U, and it also needs to occupy a large space in width and length directions. At present, although there is a cable arranging frame as disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent with authorized publication No. 209497556U, the cable arranging effect is not ideal, and each jumper cannot be separated clearly. During troubleshooting, it takes a lot of time to locate the cable. Moreover, the cable arranging frame will inevitably increase the space occupied by the cable arranging mechanism. In addition, the position of the cable cannot be completely fixed, so each cable is easy to jump.
In order to overcome the disadvantages, the purpose of the present application is to provide a cable arranging mechanism, which does not increase the space and volume originally occupied by the distribution mechanism, can clearly arrange and separate each cable and can rapidly locate the cable.
A first purpose of the present application is to provide a cable arranging mechanism, which includes: a first plate body, the first plate body being provided with an opening for a connector of a cable to pass through; and a second plate body, at least partial area of the second plate body being capable of being clamped with the first plate body, when the second plate body and the first plate body are clamped with each other, the opening for the connector of the cable to pass through being closed and at least one through hole for the cable to pass through being formed, and when the second plate body and the first plate body are not clamped, the opening for the connector of the cable to pass through being in an open state. In the cable arranging mechanism provided by the present application, by providing the second plate body which can be separated and clamped with the first plate body, separating the second plate body from the first plate body when it is necessary to pass the cable through the cable arranging mechanism, and then clamping the second plate body with the first plate body after the cable passes through, the cabling operation can be quickly realized. The overall space occupied by the cable arranging mechanism provided by the present application is very small and the space originally occupied by the distribution frame is not increased. The cable arranging mechanism provided by the present application can have a through hole corresponding to each cable, so that the fault cable can be quickly located and eliminated.
Further, the cable arranging mechanism further includes a clamping piece and the clamping piece is capable of moving towards a direction close to or far away from the cable passing through the through hole. Therefore, the position of the arranged cable can be fixed by pushing the clamping piece towards the direction close to the cable, and the cable will not jump in subsequent operations.
Further, at least one of the first plate body and the second plate body is provided with an adjustment chamber for mounting the clamping piece, and the clamping piece is capable of moving in the adjustment chamber.
Further, the cable arranging mechanism further includes at least one first clamping protrusion capable of being clamped with the clamping piece, and the clamping piece is provided with at least one first clamping groove capable of being fit with the first clamping protrusion. Therefore, the relative positions of the clamping piece and the first clamping protrusion can be adjusted according to the diameters of different cables to ensure the fixation of cables with different specifications.
Further, the adjustment chamber is provided in the first plate body and the first clamping protrusion is provided on the second plate body.
Further, the cable arranging mechanism further includes at least one limiting protrusion, a limiting groove I is provided in the end of the clamping piece close to the through hole, a limiting groove II is provided in the end of the clamping piece far away from the through hole, and the limiting protrusion is capable of being respectively clamped into the limiting groove I and the limiting groove II. Therefore, the position of the clamping piece can be limited under the action of the limiting protrusion, so that when the cable needs to pass through the through hole, the clamping piece will not prevent the cable from passing through the through hole; when it is used for clamping the cable with smaller diameter, it can ensure that the clamping piece will not fall off from the adjustment chamber.
Further, the limiting protrusion is provided on an inner sidewall of the adjustment chamber.
Further, at least one first clamping head capable of being clamped with the first plate body is provided on the second plate body and the first clamping head is provided with a second clamping groove capable of being clamped with the first plate body. Therefore, under the fitting between the first clamping head and the second clamping groove, it is convenient to clamp the second plate body and the first plate body.
Further, the side of the first clamping head far away from the second plate body is provided with an adjustment groove and the first clamping head is capable of moving towards a direction close to or far away from the first plate body in the adjustment groove.
Further, the cable arranging mechanism further includes a labeling area, the labeling area is used for marking a hole number of the through hole, and the labeling area is provided on the second plate body and is located in a central area of the second plate body. Since the labeling area is provided on the second plate body, it is convenient to identify the hole number, the structural space of the second plate body is fully utilized, and the overall structure of the cable arranging mechanism is compact.
Further, the first plate body is further provided with a clamping part for connecting with a third mechanism.
Further, the clamping part includes: at least one second clamping protrusion, the second clamping protrusion being provided close to a first edge of the first plate body, the third mechanism being provided with a third clamping groove fit with the second clamping protrusion; and at least one clamping fastener, the clamping fastener being used for clamping with a partial area of the third mechanism. Therefore, when it is necessary to connect the cable arranging mechanism with the third mechanism, the second clamping protrusion is clamped with the third clamping groove, and the clamping fastener is clamped with the third mechanism, thus realizing the rapid connection between the cable arranging mechanism and the third mechanism.
A second purpose of the present application is to provide a connecting plate for distribution, wherein the connecting plate for distribution includes a main plate body and the cable arranging mechanism, the main plate body is provided with at least one network interface for plugging a network cable, and the height of the connecting plate is 1 U-2 U.
Further, the height of the connecting plate is 1 U and the height occupied by the cable arranging mechanism does not exceed 0.5 U. Therefore, by using the connecting plate provided by the present application, the occupied space is not increased due to the provision of the cable arranging mechanism. Since the height of the cable arranging mechanism does not exceed 0.5 U, the occupied space is not increased in the height direction, and the arranged cable will not increase the occupied space of the distribution frame in the length and width directions.
A third purpose of the present application is to provide a distribution frame, wherein the distribution frame includes the connecting plate for distribution, a frame body connected with the connecting plate and a cover body detachably connected with the frame body, and when the cover body is closed, the cable arranging mechanism is not provided in a chamber formed by the cover body and the frame body. Therefore, the arranged cable is located outside the chamber. Under the isolation of the cover body, it is ensured that the cable will not be entangled with the cable body in the distribution frame, the external appearance of the distribution frame is attractive, and the competitiveness of the product is improved.

In some embodiments, the adjustment chamber 21 is provided on the first plate body 11, and the adjustment chamber 21 is located above the cable body to be fixed. Correspondingly, an upper opening 111 of the adjustment chamber 21 is provided on an upper surface of the first plate body 11. Therefore, after the cable is placed into the through hole 13 and the cable arrangement is completed, the position of the cable can be fixed by pushing the clamping piece 2 towards the direction of the cable at the upper opening 111.
The cable arranging mechanism provided by the present application further includes at least one first clamping protrusion 122 provided on the second plate body 12. Correspondingly, at least one first clamping groove 22 capable of being fit with the first clamping protrusion 122 is provided in the clamping piece 2.
The clamping piece 2 is further provided with a plurality of first clamping tongues 23 which are provided in sequence. A first clamping groove 22 is formed between adjacent clamping tongues. One side surface of the first clamping tongue 23 is provided with a slope surface I 231. The first clamping protrusion 122 is correspondingly provided with a slope surface II 1221 capable of being fit with the slope direction of the slope surface I 231. Therefore, when it is necessary to clamp the clamping piece 2 with the first clamping protrusion 122, the clamping piece 2 is pushed to move. Under the action of the slope surface I 231 and slope surface II 1221, it is convenient to move the clamping piece 2 until the first clamping protrusion 122 is clamped into a first clamping groove 22.
In some embodiments, the second plate body 12 is pivotally connected with the first plate body. Therefore, when the second plate body 12 is turned over to a position where it is not clamped with the first plate body 11, the first clamping protrusion 122 and the first clamping groove 22 are separated from each other, thus facilitating the movement of the clamping piece 2 and the removal of the cable. When the second plate body 12 is turned over to a position where it is clamped with the first plate body 11, the first clamping protrusion 122 can be clamped into the first clamping groove 22 when the clamping piece 2 is pushed, so that the clamping position of the clamping piece 2 can be adjusted according to the diameters of different cables, thus realizing the adjustment of the position of the clamping piece 2.
In other possible embodiments, the adjustment chamber 21 may also be provided in the second plate body 12, that is, the clamping piece 2 is located below the cable, and a corresponding adjustment chamber 21 that facilitates the pushing of the clamping piece 2 is provided in the second plate body 12. Correspondingly, the first clamping protrusion 122 is provided on the first plate body 11.

In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 211 is arranged on an inner sidewall of the adjustment chamber 21. Here, description will be made by taking that the adjustment chamber 21 is provided in the first plate body 11 as an example. When it is necessary to pass the cable through the through hole 13, the limiting groove II 26 in the bottom of the clamping piece 2 is clamped with the limiting protrusion 211. At this time, the clamping piece 2 should be located at the top (here, the direction of arrow A in
In other possible embodiments, the limiting protrusion 211 may also be provided outside the adjustment chamber 21, or at the second plate body 12 body or other positions where the position of the clamping piece 2 can be conveniently defined.
In the cable arranging mechanism provided by the present application, the second plate body 12 is provided with at least one first clamping head 14 capable of being clamped with the first plate body 11.

The first clamping head 14 in the present application is a movable clamping head. The first clamping head 14 includes a dialing piece 142 and a retaining piece 143. The dialing piece 142 and the retaining piece 143 form the second clamping groove 141. When the second plate body 12 and the first plate body 11 are clamped with each other, the dialing piece 142 and the retaining piece 143 are respectively located on two sides of the first plate body 11. An adjustment groove 123 is provided in the side of the first clamping connector 14 of the second plate body 12 far away from the first plate body 11. The first clamping head 14 can move towards a direction close to or far away from the first plate body 11 in the adjustment groove 123. Therefore, when the second plate body 12 needs to be clamped with the first plate body 11, the first plate body 11 is clamped in the second clamping groove 141. When the second plate body 12 needs to be separated from the first plate body 11, since the adjustment groove 123 provides an adjustment space for the movement of the dialing piece 142, pressing the dialing piece 142 at this time can separate the second plate body 12 from the first plate body 11, thus making the opening 111 in an open state and smoothly passing the cable through the opening 111.

Therefore, the network cabling modules are all located in the chamber, and only the cables connected with the network interface are located outside the box body, so that the overall attractiveness is high. A network module 81 as illustrated in
Therefore, on the basis of keeping the original 1 U height of the distribution frame unchanged, the distribution frame provided by the present application is added with a cable arranging function, that is, there is no need to separately provide the cable arranging frame 61. Therefore, the space occupied in the network mounting cabinet is greatly saved, and the distribution frame does not need to increase its size or height to realize the functions of cable arrangement and distribution at the same time.
Taking a 48-port switch as an example, when the distribution frame is 24-port, two groups of distribution frames need to be equipped, and a cable arranging frame 61 is provided corresponding to each distribution frame. Generally, the height of the cable arranging frame 61 is also 1 U, that is, the required height except for the switch is 4 U.
