  In addition, when an angle is attached to the rack to support the rear part of the rack mounting equipment, the angle and the rack mounting equipment must be fixed from the side of the rack. The work was done by removing the side panel. For this reason, it is difficult to fix the rack mounting equipment by removing the side panel when multiple racks are installed side by side or when there is not enough room around the rack installation location. there were. Furthermore, when rack-mounting equipment with different depth dimensions is mounted in a single rack, even if you want to support the rear part of the rack-mounting equipment by providing an angle that matches the depth dimensions of the rack-mounting equipment, Depending on the angle, the angles may interfere with each other and attachment may be difficult.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a rack mounting device that can be securely fixed to a rack and can be mounted from the front by work, and the structure includes a fixing portion that is fixed to a mounting angle, and a rack mounting. The rack mounting device can be stored and fixed in the rack via a mounting bracket that is formed by bending the mounting portion attached to the side surface of the equipment and the support portion supporting the rear of the rack mounting device into a substantially U-shaped cross section. It is characterized by that.

  Further, a panel fastener is attached to the support portion by caulking, and a screw body is mounted on an attachment fitting.

  In addition, the fixing portion is provided with a through hole for performing a tightening operation of a screw mounted on the support portion.

  The mounting structure of the rack mounting device according to the present invention includes a fixing portion fixed to the mount angle, a mounting portion attached to a side surface of the rack mounting device, and a support portion supporting the rear of the rack mounting device. Rack mounting equipment can be stored and fixed in the rack via mounting brackets that are bent in a substantially U shape, so that the rack mounting equipment can be supported at two points: the mounting part and the support part. The device is not shaken by vibration and does not interfere with the devices mounted on the upper and lower stages, and durability can be improved.

  In addition, since the panel fastener is attached to the support portion by caulking and the screw body is mounted on the mounting bracket, the mounting operation of the rack mounting device can be performed smoothly and the workability can be improved. Further, even if the screws are loosened to remove the rack mounting device, they are not lost because they are not dropped, and there is no risk of a short-circuit accident caused by the dropped screws.

  In addition, since the fixing portion is provided with a through hole for tightening the screw body mounted on the support portion, the fixing operation for supporting the rear portion of the rack mounting device can be performed from the front side of the rack. Therefore, workability is improved.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a rack mounting device mounting structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings of FIGS.
