Abstract

PURPOSE:To determine the positions of mounting only by counting the number of projecting sections on which articles to be loaded of (n) times (integral times) as large as the positions of mounting are loaded, and to prevent erroneous mounting by forming the projecting section of the side face of a rack to a channel shape and shaping the channels at regular pitches. CONSTITUTION:An electronic apparatus 1 is fixed to left and right chassis rails 2 by screws 7, and the chassis rails 2 are slid and insert. ed so as to be fitted to side-face projecting sections integrally bent at regular intervals of (n) times as large as the positions of mounting to left and right side face plates 3 set up into a rack 4. Rail stoppers 5 are installed to the rear sections of the chassis rails 2 so as to be engaged when the electronic apparatus 1 is pulled out, and collide with side face stoppers 6 set up to the side face plates 3 and are connected. When the electronic apparatus 1 is housed into the rack 4, the rail stoppers 5 collide with rail fixing sections 3-2 shaped by bending one parts of the side face projecting sections 3-1 of the side face plates 3, and the electronic apparatus is housed at a fixed position in the rack 4.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a structure in which a plurality of electronic devices are mounted on a rack and pulled out, and in particular, a rack mount suitable for a mounting device in which the mounting position of electronic devices can be changed arbitrarily. Regarding rail structure.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional rack mount rails have screw holes spaced equally apart in the height direction of the rack on a part of the side of the rack to attach rails that allow the mounted electronic equipment to be pulled out. The structure was such that electronic equipment could be stored inside the rack by attaching rails and sliding on the other rails.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional example above, in a rack mount structure where the mounted electronic equipment is constantly changed, the mounting screw holes for the rail to be mounted on the rack are drilled at equal intervals in the rack, and a jig etc. is used to determine the mounting position. The rail mounting position was determined, no consideration was given to workability, and the mounting method was complicated, leading to problems such as mounting errors and the time required to change mounting.

An object of the present invention is to shorten the time required when mounting electronic equipment on a rack and to easily change the mounting.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is to form continuous protruding protrusions on the side of the rack integrally with the side plate of the rack and form them vertically at equal intervals to form the rails that are attached to the electronic equipment to be mounted. is formed into a channel (bag-like shape), and by configuring the channel-shaped rail to fit into the protrusion of the protrusion, the height of the mounted electronic equipment can be unified to n times the height according to the interval between the protrusions. This is achieved by:

[For production]

The convex part on the side of the rack is formed into a channel shape, and the rails of the mounted equipment are fitted into the channel and slid. Since these channels are configured at equal pitches, when changing the mounting position of the mounted equipment, the mounting position will be changed at the same magnification, so simply count the number of convex parts to be mounted by increasing the mounting position by n times (an integer multiple). The mounting position is determined and there is no possibility of mounting errors.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic device 1 is fixed to the left and right chassis rails 2 with screws 7, and the chassis rails 2 are integrally attached to the left and right side plates 3 attached to the inside of the rack 4. It is inserted by sliding it into the convex parts on the sides that are bent at intervals. Second. As shown in FIG. 3, a rail stopper 5 is attached to the rear of the chassis rail 2 to lock the electronic device 1 when it is pulled out, and the rail stopper 5 hits a side stopper 6 attached to the side plate 3 and locks it. . As shown in FIG. 4, when the electronic device 1 is stored in the rack 4, the rail stopper 5 hits the rail fixing portion 3-2, which is formed by bending a part of the side protrusion 3-1 of the side plate 8, and the electronic device is placed in the rack. It is stored in a fixed position in the 4.

FIG. 5 shows a structure in which the side plate 3 and the side protrusion 3-1 of the rack 4 are integrally formed, and the side plate 3 forms a channel-shaped protrusion in the front-rear direction. Figures 6 and 7 show another embodiment in which the side plate 3 is partially cut out to form a side protrusion 3-1, on which the chassis rail 2 attached to the electronic device 1 is placed. Store it in rack 4. As explained above, according to this embodiment, the mounting position of the electronic device can be easily changed, and the time required for mounting can be shortened.

・ 3 ・ Also, by integrally forming the rail part on the side plate, it is possible to achieve an inexpensive structure.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the convex portions are formed on the side surfaces at continuous equal intervals, there is no need to calculate and measure the mounting position of the rail depending on the height of the mounted equipment. The mounting position is determined just by counting. Furthermore, when changing the mounting position of a mounted device after mounting, there is no need to change the mounting of the rail, and the time required to change the mounting position can be significantly reduced compared to the conventional method.
