Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a device storage rack that accommodates electronic devices and the like in multiple stages, and more particularly, to an auxiliary rack that simplifies adjustment work when changing a storage device in a device storage rack.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A slide rail that slides the device when the device is pulled out is directly fixed to the inner surface of the side plate of the device housing rack that houses the electronic device or the like. Although the horizontal width and the maximum depth dimension of each device are generally standardized, there are various vertical dimensions (heights) viewed from the front. When a device housed in such a rack is changed to a device having a different size, the slide rail mounting position in the rack must be moved.
[0003]
When moving the slide rail, it is necessary to finely adjust the slide rail mounting state (width, height, stroke) according to the equipment. After the slide rail is temporarily attached to the receiving rack, try the equipment. The process of repeating the procedure is very time-consuming. Moreover, there are many sites where the storage rack is fixed in a narrow place and such a laborious work must be performed in a cramped posture.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to eliminate the slide rail adjustment work at the installation rack installation site by enabling the relationship between the equipment and the slide rail to be adjusted at the factory or outside the storage rack when changing the equipment in the storage rack.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The above-mentioned problem is solved by interposing an auxiliary rack called a “rail unit” according to the present invention between individual storage target devices and the storage rack, instead of directly attaching the slide rail to the storage rack.
[0006]
This rail unit consists of left and right side plates and front and rear partition plates that keep the side plates in parallel. Both side plates have standard width intervals and depth dimensions that fit the storage racks, and several types of vertical plates are used depending on the equipment to be accommodated. A width is prepared. A pair of slide rails are provided facing each other on both side plates, and each slide rail is finely adjusted by about 5mm to the opposing spacing and mounting height according to the dimensions of the target device within the margin of the mounting screw through hole. It can be fixed in the adjusted state.
[0007]
Then, outside the factory or the housing rack, the target device is temporarily installed on the rail unit, and the relationship between the device and the slide rail is adjusted in advance. While maintaining the adjusted rail unit, transport it to the installation rack, and tighten the bolts from the front of the storage rack. Each device is attached to the receiving rack via the adjusted rail unit. As a result, the slide rail adjustment work at the storage rack installation site can be eliminated.

【Example】
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an assembly diagram illustrating the structure of the rail unit according to the present embodiment, and illustrates the structure of the left half of the U-shaped housing 10 and the assembly procedure (the right half has the same structure). 2 to 5 are perspective views showing a work procedure for attaching the rail unit of this embodiment to the receiving rack and a state in which the attachment is completed.
[0009]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a rail unit, 10 is a casing in which both side plates and a rear partition plate are formed in a U shape, 20 is a slide rail, 30 is a rail mounting plate for mounting the slide rail 20, and 35 is a rail mounting plate. A pair of upper and lower L brackets that are attached to the side plate portion of the casing 10 by sandwiching 30 from above and below, 40 is a rail fixing screw that fixes the slide rail 20 to the rail mounting plate 30, and 50 is a rail mounting plate 30 attached to the L bracket 35. A rail width adjusting screw 60 for adjusting the facing distance between two opposing slide rails by shifting the relative positions of the two, 60 attaches an L metal fitting 35 to the side plate portion of the casing 10, and shifts the upper and lower positions of the slide rail 20 Represents a rail height adjustment screw that adjusts the mounting height. The slide rail 20 has a base that is fixed to the rail mounting plate 30 and an inner that is attached to the side surface of the target device and slides with respect to the base via a bearing.
[0010]
FIG. 2 shows a state where the rail unit 1 and the target device 100 are placed on a work table outside the storage rack and adjustment is performed. During the operation, the temporary holders 70 are attached to the upper and lower sides of the side plates so as to keep the distance between the side plates so as not to obstruct the insertion of the target device 100 between the side plates of the casing 10.
[0011]
FIG. 3 shows a state where the rail unit 1 whose adjustment has been completed is being attached to the receiving rack 120. In this case, the temporary holding tool 70 is removed, and the rail unit 1 is transported to the storage rack 120 while maintaining the adjusted state by attaching the transport panel 80 from the front portion of the rail unit 1, and the bolts from the front surface of the storage rack as it is. Tighten and attach. FIG. 4 is a partially broken perspective view showing a state in which the rail unit 1 with a plurality of transfer panels 80 is attached to the receiving rack 120 and the target device 100 is mounted on one of them, and FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the place which accommodated in the accommodation stand.
[0012]
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a three-layer rail unit 1 as a modification of the present embodiment. If the devices are highly correlated, it is desirable to install them at positions close to each other. In this case, three devices are accommodated in a three-layer rail unit.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
The fitting state of the slide rail and the target device in the rail unit according to the present invention is adjusted in advance at the factory or outside the housing rack, and each device is attached to the housing rack via the adjusted rail unit, so that the housing rack is installed. The on-site slide rail adjustment work can be eliminated.
