Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a rack for accommodating a communication unit.

In communication equipment, a large number of printed circuit boards loaded with various electronic components and configured to have a single function are assembled and housed in a communication unit, and such units are stacked in multiple tiers in a rack. are doing.

Such a communication equipment rack generally consists of an upper frame member parallel to the floor, a bottom frame member, and both side frame members perpendicular to the floor, which receive and support protruding members on the sides of the housing-like communication equipment unit. A holder for holding the cable wiring is provided on both side frame members, and a cable wiring is provided along the side frame member.A cable holding member for fixing and holding the cable wiring is provided on the both side frame members. In such conventional communication equipment racks, unit support holders and cable holding members are provided on the rack frame, which increases the number of parts, increases costs, requires time and effort to assemble, and is visually unsatisfactory. It was unremarkable. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and includes:
By combining the functions of a unit support holder and cable holding member in one part, the number of parts is reduced by 10, simplifying the structure, lowering costs, facilitating assembly work, and creating a communication device with an excellent appearance. The purpose is to provide storage equipment.

Therefore, in the present invention, a unit support holder is provided to protrude from the front of an upright frame member (side frame member) perpendicular to the floor surface, and this holder is provided with a horizontal guide portion for receiving the protruding member of the communication device unit. and a vertical side surface perpendicular thereto, and a plurality of holes for locking the cable fixing and holding string material are formed in this vertical side surface. FIG. 1 is an external view of a 20th embodiment of a communication equipment rack according to the present invention. The rack device 1 consists of a top frame member 3, a bottom frame member 5, and both side frame members 4, and a cable 2 is disposed along the side frame members 4. A knit fixing plate 13 having a large number of holes 14 is provided on the back side of the racking device 1 along the side frame material 4 . A unit 25 support holder 6 is attached to the side frame member 4. This holder 6 is for receiving and supporting the protruding member 12 on the side surface of the communication device unit 10. A mounting plate 11 is fixed to the back surface of the unit 10. This fixing plate 11 has holes 14 provided in the unit fixing plate 1330 of the rack device 1 and a plurality of holes 15 equally spaced apart. The holder 6 can be mounted at a desired height and spacing by selecting the positions of the holder mounting holes 8 provided in the side frame material 4. The holder 6 has a horizontal guide part 6a serving as a sliding surface 35 and a vertical side part 6b perpendicular to the horizontal guide part 6a to receive and guide the protruding member 12 of the communication device unit 10. A hole T is formed. The cable 2 is bundled with a flexible string material 9 such as wire or nylon, and is tied and fixed through the hole 7 of the holder 6. Communication unit 10
is inserted into the rack 1 in the direction of the arrow, mounted and supported on the holder 6 via the protruding member 12, and fixed with screws or the like with the holes 14 and 15 of the unit fixing plate 13 and mounting plate 11 aligned. FIG. 2 is an external view of another embodiment of the present invention, in which the holder 6 is fixed to the outside of the side frame member 4 of the rack device 1. As shown in FIG.

In this case, the depth of the communication device unit 10 is greater than the width of the side frame member 4, and the unit 10 is accommodated in a state in which it projects from the front of the rack device 1. FIG. 3 is an external view of still another embodiment of the present invention, in which a holder 6 is fixed to the side surface of a column 16 and a communication device unit is housed between two columns 16. A reinforcing frame member may be provided at the upper and lower ends of the support columns 16 to connect the support columns with each other. In the communication device rack configured as described above, a unit support holder is provided on the pillar or side frame material perpendicular to the floor surface and protrudes from the front of the rack. and a vertical side part perpendicular to this, and a hole for locking the cable holding string material is formed in the vertical side part protruding from the front of the rack, so that the cable installed on the front of the rack can be It can be securely fixed to the holder, eliminating the need for a new cable holding member.

Therefore, the number of parts is reduced, the structure is simplified, manufacturing work is facilitated, the cost is advantageous, and the appearance is excellent.
