Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a rack device for communication equipment.

A communication equipment rack including a switching device and the like accommodates communication equipment units having various functions in vertical, horizontal and depth directions.

A communication device is configured by aggregating several such rack devices.

A connector connecting each unit to external wiring is arranged on the back side of the rack device of each unit.

The cables connected to the connectors of each unit can be connected to another unit via a cable rack that passes through the ceiling to connect each rack device, or by introducing the cables into a free access formed under the floor. It is connected to the unit housed in the rack system.

When installing such a rack in a storage room, space is required for maintenance and inspection of the connectors of each unit located on the back side of the rack, making it impossible to fit the rack tightly against the wall and requiring a large installation floor space. It becomes necessary.

Furthermore, if the connector is installed in close contact with a wall, it is necessary to move the rack during maintenance and inspection of the connector, which requires labor.

In addition, since the size of the rack is regulated, if there are few units to be accommodated, storage space will be wasted, if the ceiling height of the installation location is low, installation will be impossible, and if the ceiling height is too high, there will be no ceiling space. It has disadvantages such as being wasted.

An object of the present invention is to provide a communication equipment rack that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

For this reason, in the present invention, in a rack device for accommodating a communication equipment unit consisting of frame frames in a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and a depth direction, a plurality of unit accommodating frames for accommodating the communication equipment units are provided, and the unit accommodating frame is are connected vertically or horizontally to form a rack, and cable passages are provided on the unit housing frame in the vertical and horizontal directions on the front side of the rack.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a unit housing frame 1 constituting a communication device frame according to the present invention.

This unit housing frame 1 includes a vertical frame 2, a horizontal frame 3,
It is composed of a depth direction frame 15, a reinforcing member 7, and the like.

The reinforcing member 7 also serves as a guide rail for the communication equipment unit to be accommodated.

The height of this unit housing frame 1 is formed to correspond to the height of the communication equipment unit to be accommodated.

The height of the vertical frame 2 is made longer by an appropriate length l than the height of the unit accommodating section so that when the unit accommodating frames 1 are stacked, a gap is formed between the upper and lower units 1 and the accommodating frames 1. .

This UNI'71-accommodating frame 1 is connected to another unit accommodating frame by a connector 4.

The illustrated connecting tool 4 is a mold, and is used to connect the unit 1 to the storage frame in the vertical and horizontal directions.

If only vertical stacking is required, ■Wall connectors may be used.

Cable sabots 1-5 and 6 for supporting cables for wiring connections between the units are fixed to the vertical frame 2 and the horizontal frames 3, -k on the front side of the unit housing frame 1.

FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a rack device constructed by stacking such units 1 to storage frames 1 in three stages in the vertical direction.

8 is a ceiling panel, 9 is a back panel, and 10 is a front panel.

A cable passage is formed along the cable supports 5 and 6 provided on the vertical frame and the horizontal frame on the front side of the rack, and the cable 13 is routed through the cable supports 5 and 6.
passes.

Connector-equipped wiring 12 is connected to the front side of each unit 11 and joins the east line in cable 13.

The gap formed in the upper part of each unit storage frame 1 also forms a cable passage, through which the cable 13 passes toward the back surface.

FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the racking device according to the present invention.

Connector 1 for terminal connection is installed on the front side of the unit 11 to be accommodated.
4 are arranged, and cables connecting each unit are arranged along the frame in the vertical and horizontal directions on the front side of the rack device.

In the above-mentioned communication equipment racks, the racks are configured with unit storage frames that correspond to the size of the units to be accommodated, so the racks can be adjusted according to the floor height and floor area of the installation location or the number of units to be stored. The size of can be determined.

Also, transportation work and expansion work can be done easily.

Furthermore, a major advantage of this invention is that the connectors of the units to be accommodated are located on the front side of the rack, so the back side of the rack can be installed in close contact with the wall surface of the installation location, or the back sides of each rack can be placed facing each other. The back-to-back placement of buttons allows for effective use of floor space.

In addition, since a cable path is formed on the front frame of the rack system, the cables connected to each unit can be connected directly to the desired unit via the shortest path without passing through the cable rack on the ceiling like in the past. can.

In addition, a gap is formed between the top and bottom of each unit, and by passing the cable through this gap, it is easy to connect to the rack unit placed at the rear in a back-to-back arrangement, saving the length of the cable during wiring work. The risk of incorrect work is also reduced.
