Description

Digital delivery closet.

Object of the invention

The invention relates to a delivery cabinet digital, of the type that have a support chassis, some front access doors and side covers, meeting the support chassis consisting of a lower socket, about lateral uprights and an upper base.

Background of the invention

This section highlights the existence of utility model 200201865 of the same applicant in which describes a digital distribution cabinet inside which are arranged prismatic columns for mounting a plurality of pairs of connectors, for example of type RJ45 or similar, said prismatic columns being mounted on a vertical slide fixed to the closet.

These prismatic columns also have a flip closure to protect connectors from dirt and powder presenting said folding closure a central surface for the labeling with the identification of the connections.

In the distribution cabinet of the utility model already mentioned the problem posed by the organization of the high number of connection cables that access it, contemplating for this, the use of rings that are mounted and distributed on the rear side of the slide, said rings defining a guide for the channeling of cables. The individual manufacture of these rings and the need of positioning and distributing them manually inside the Closet has a high manufacturing and handling cost.

On the other hand the arrangement of the connectors in frontal position significantly hinders its display by of the operators, when said connectors are covered by the corresponding cables, and does not allow optimal use of the interior closet space.

Description of the invention

The digital distribution cabinet object of this invention presents constructive characteristics oriented to provide greater constructive simplicity to the elements housed inside, to delimit inside some areas of connection and passageways for the cables, so that the cables are organized inside, and allow the connection of the connectors in lateral direction instead of frontal direction, what which allows a better use of the interior space of the cabinet and a better visualization of the connectors at the time of make your connection and disconnection, since in that position side connectors are not hidden by cables corresponding.

For this and according to the invention the digital distribution cabinet includes inside plates vertical, parallel, arranged perpendicular to the lid rear of the cabinet, that is, oriented in the front direction; presenting said vertical plates in its rear half a alignment of windows for access to an area of passage of connecting cables and in their previous half a row of holes cross-sections for the insertion of the corresponding connectors in lateral direction.

It is noteworthy that the manufacture of these plates verticals is of great constructive simplicity since they can be obtain by stamping simultaneously defining the windows rear access to the passage area of the cables and front holes for mounting the connectors.

This closet has previously some vertical guide plates that are fixed laterally and perpendicular to the middle zone longitudinal of the vertical plates. These guide plates have at their free end a plurality of recesses for guiding and securing cables between the passage zone and the connection zone located respectively by behind and in front of said guide plates.

The definition on the entire length of the end free of said vertical guide plates of recesses for the passage and clamping of cables it allows to have guides suitable for the entire length of the cabinet, avoiding the use of removable or movable rings.

Vertical plates present at their end posterior a fold that defines a lateral tab for its fixing on rear crossbars of the support chassis, additionally fixing said vertical plates to the sockets upper and lower by means of squares or tabs and the corresponding screws or rivets, resulting in this operation of great constructive simplicity.

It is also expected that inside the cabinet are arranged distributed dividers vertically and that relate to parallel vertical plates each other and with a vertical profile of the support chassis.

These separators besides acting of elements stiffeners also allow to delimit the areas destined to step and to the connection of the cables.

Vertical plates provided with holes for mounting the connectors present at their front end a fold that defines a lateral flange for the support of the connector identifications in a position visible from the closet front.

The provision of the identifications of connectors on said previous tab allows viewing permanent since it is located ahead of the areas of passage and connection of the cables, the cables not constituting a hindrance for viewing.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an example of realization of the digital distribution cabinet with the doors in closed position.

- Figure 2 shows a front elevation view of the distribution cabinet, without the closing doors and in whose inside you can see the vertical plates oriented frontally and oriented vertical guide plates sideways.

- Figure 3 shows a profile view of the cupboard without doors and without one of the side covers for allow observation of vertical plates and guide plates housed inside.

- Figure 4 shows a plan view upper cabinet sectioned by a vertical plane.

- Figure 5 shows a view similar to the above and in which the connection of a line of inlet and outlet line by means of a cable or sleeve intermediate, said cables being provided with the corresponding connectors

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

How it can be seen in the figures referenced the cabinet comprises a support chassis (1) composed of upper and lower sockets (11, 12) and about vertical uprights (13) arranged in correspondence with the corners of the sockets. Closing of the closet is established by front doors (2), side covers (3) and a cover rear (4).

Both the upper socket (11) and the socket bottom (12) can have wide openings (14) for the access to the interior of the cabinet of the cables to be connected.

In the exemplary embodiment shown in the attached figures, inside the closet are arranged two vertical plates (5) oriented perpendicularly to the back cover (4) and fixed by the upper ends and lower, by means of the corresponding squares (51) to the sockets upper and lower (11, 12).

The vertical plates (5) present in their half later an alignment of windows (52) for easy access to a passage area of the connection cables (6).

In the previous half the vertical plates (5) they have rows of holes (53) for lateral connection of the connectors (61) of the connecting cable (6) with the connectors (71) of the input and output lines (7).

As can be seen in Figure 5, the connectors (61 and 71) are oriented in the lateral direction, and not frontal, which allows an optimal use of space inside the cabinet without the cables or lines (6, 7) being direct to the rear or passage area of the closet constitute a  hindrance to operators.

In the example shown the vertical plates (5) they present at their rear end a fold that defines a tab side (54) for fixing, preferably screwed or riveted, on some rear crossbars (15) of the chassis support.

The support plates (5) are also found related to each other by means of separators (17) of general configuration in "T" that are distributed vertically and fixed by its central wing to a vertical profile (16) arranged in the back area.

The vertical plates (5) have at their end anterior a fold defining a lateral fin (55) for the support of the identifications of the connectors in one position visible.

On the sides of the plates (5) it they find fixed guide plates (8) vertical which have recess alignments at their free end (81) for fastening and guiding the cables (6, 7) between the zone rear passage and the previous connection zone.

Once the nature of The invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, is for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
