Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to improvement of a rack in which electronic equipment such as a personal computer is installed.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 FIG. 6 shows a conventional rack in which various electronic devices are installed.

A large number of OA (office automation) communication devices (electronic devices) 3, such as personal computers, are mounted on the shelf 2 of the rack 1, and the electronic devices 3 and electronic devices are connected to each other. A large number of cables 5 for power supply and signals are connected between the device 3 and an external device (not shown).

According to the conventional rack 1, the wiring of the cables 5 of the various electronic devices 3 placed on the shelf 2 is performed on the back side of the electronic device 3, so that a large number of cables 5 are provided behind the rack 1. However, there was a problem that the excess length portions 5a of many cables 5 were overlapped and entangled with each other. If such a state of the cable 5 is left as it is, not only there is a problem in appearance, but also it becomes difficult to attach and detach the electronic device when the electronic device is replaced. .. Further, there is a rack 1A shown in FIG. 7 which solves the problem caused by the rack 1.

In this rack 1A, since the cable clamp 7 is provided at the back of the rack 1A, by winding the extra length portion 5a of the cable 5 around this cable clamp 7, the extra length portion 5a is placed behind the rack 1A. Can be processed neatly.

However, in this rack 1A, since the cable clamp 7 projects from the back, there is a problem that the installation space of the rack 1A becomes unnecessarily large. Also, because of the structure, the number of cable clamps 7 provided at the back of the rack 1A is limited, so when a large number of electronic devices 3 are mounted on a single shelf 2, a large number of cables 3 are the same. The problem that the electronic device 3 is difficult to attach and detach because it is wound around the clamp 7 could not be solved.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in the conventional rack, the cable clamp that winds the cable placed on the shelf is projected from the back of the rack, which causes a problem that the rack installation space becomes unnecessarily large. There was a problem that the appearance of the rack was impaired because the cable that was taken out was exposed to the outside. Also, since many cable clamps cannot be installed behind the rack, if there are many electronic devices mounted on the same shelf, there is no choice but to wind many cables around the same cable clamp. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and it is possible to wind a cable of an electronic device mounted on a shelf plate around a cable clamp without exposing the cable of the electronic device to the outside of the rack. An object of the present invention is to provide a rack of electronic equipment which can be provided with a large number of cable clamps easily.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, in a rack having a shelf board on which electronic devices are mounted, a cable clamp portion for winding a cable is provided on the back surface of the shelf board.

[0010]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the extra length of the cable of the electronic device mounted on the shelf board can be wound around the cable clamp portion provided on the back surface of the shelf board.

[0011]

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

1 to 4 are views for explaining a first embodiment, FIG. 1 is a sectional view taken along the line II of FIG. 2, and FIG. 2 is a front view of a main part of a rack on which electronic devices are mounted. 3, FIG. 3 is a view showing the shelf of the rack of FIG. 2 from the back side, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the shelf plate alone from the back side. The rack 11 according to the present invention is provided with a plurality of shelves 12, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each shelf 12 has a plurality of electronic devices 13 mounted thereon.

As shown in FIG. 4, the shelf 12 is formed by bending a metal plate, and is screwed to the rack 11 by using a hole 12d provided on the side surface. In addition, a plurality of notches 17 are formed in the front end 12a and the rear end 12b of the shelf 12 so that the cable 15 of the electronic device 13 can be easily introduced to the rear surface 12c of the shelf 12.

On the other hand, on the back surface 12c of the shelf 12, a pair of reinforcing fittings 19 having an L-shaped cross section are provided in parallel with the front and back surface side end portions 12a, 12b. A large number of protrusions 21 are provided at the tip of the reinforcing metal fitting 19 and are bent at a predetermined interval so as to have an L-shaped cross section. The protrusion 21 constitutes a cable clamp portion for hooking the cable 5, and the respective protrusions (cable clamps) 21 provided on the pair of reinforcing metal fittings 19 and 19 are directed in the directions away from each other. In this example, five cable clamp sets are formed with two cable clamps 21 as one set.

Since the rack 11 is configured as described above, the extra length portion 15a of the cable 15 of the electronic device 13 placed on the shelf 12 is attached to the shelf 12 as shown in FIGS. The cutout 17 (in this example, the cutout 17 on the rear side end 12b) is positioned on the back surface 12c of the shelf board, and the extra length portion 15a is wound on the back surface 12c by using a pair of cable clamps 21 and 21. it can. Therefore, the extra length portion 15a does not project to the outside of the rack 11 and the installation space of the rack 11 does not become large. Further, since the shelf board 12 has a large area, a large number of cable clamps 21 can be provided on the back surface 12c. Therefore, even when a plurality of electronic devices 13 are mounted on the same shelf 12, the cables 15 of the respective electronic devices 13 can be wound around different cable clamps 21 as shown in FIG. Therefore, even when the electronic device 13 mounted on the shelf board 12 is replaced, the extra cable length portion 15a can be wound and unwound without being hindered by the other cable 15, so that the electronic device 13 Installation and removal work can be done easily. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the first embodiment described above, the reinforcing metal fitting 19 for reinforcing the shelf plate 12 is provided with the cable clamp function, but in this example, the normal cable clamp 25 is provided on the back surface 12c of the shelf plate 12A. Many are provided. Other configurations and the like are similar to those of the first embodiment.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the rack of the electronic device of the present invention, the excess length of the cable of the electronic device placed on the shelf board can be processed by winding it around the cable clamp provided on the back surface of the shelf board. The extra length of can be processed neatly. And since the cable clamp is on the back side of the shelf, it is not necessary to provide a separate cable clamp when moving or adding a shelf. In addition, since the cable processing part does not project to the outer surface of the rack, the appearance of the rack is good and the installation space of the rack is minimized.

Furthermore, since a large number of cable clamps are provided on the back surface of the shelf board, even when a plurality of electronic devices are mounted on one shelf board, different cable clamps are used for the cables of each electronic device. Can be wrapped around. Therefore, the cables of a plurality of electronic devices can be individually organized, which makes it easy to install and remove the electronic devices.
