Embodiment 1. - In the following,
Embodiment 1 of this invention is explained with reference to drawings. - FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a subrack of integrated type in this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a sectional view (sectional view looked from arrow A in FIG. 1) of the subrack of integrated type in this invention. FIG. 3 is a sectional view (sectional view looked from arrow B in FIG. 1) of the subrack of integrated type in this embodiment.
- In the following explanation, the subrack of integrated type illustrated in FIG. 1 as an example is used for explanation. However, it is also possible to use a subrack besides the subrack of integrated type. The subrack of integrated type indicates a subrack having a function of inserting a package mounted with an electronic part and a function of accommodating the subrack itself in an electronic apparatus. The subrack indicates a part in general for accommodating the electronic part in the electronic apparatus.
- In FIGS. 1, 2 and3, a
subrack 1 of integrated type includes ashelf frame 2, abackboard 3, apackage 7, a front rail (front rails) 8, a guide plate (guide plates) 9, and aplate opening 10. Theshelf frame 2 in FIG. 1 includes a front part bent at a right angle and a screw hole provided in a bent part. The screw hole is used for accommodating the subrack in the electronic apparatus. - A multiplicity of electronic parts, etc. and a connector are mounted in the
package 7. Thepackage 7 is also called a printed-circuit board or a substrate. Thepackage 7 can be attached to and removed from thesubrack 1 of integrated type. - The front rails8 include a guide groove (guide grooves) 8 a for inserting the
package 7 and a reinforcement bending part (reinforcement bending parts) 8 b. - The
guide plate 9 includes a reinforcement bending part (reinforcement bending parts) 9 a and a guide rail part (guide rail parts) 9 b for guiding insertion of thepackage 7. Theguide rail part 9 b includes an opening (openings) 9 c for ventilation. - A plurality of
guide plates 9 divided in an insertion direction of the package is placed. The plurality of guide plates is placed apart each other. - The
reinforcement bending part 9 a is formed by bending an edge (edge forming a hem of the plate opening 10) of the plurality of guide plates divided in the insertion direction of the package and placed. In an example of FIG. 1, thereinforcement bending part 9 a has L-shape. However, it is not necessary that it has L-shape. It is also possible to form thereinforcement bending part 9 a by bending at a different angle, e.g., obtuse angle. - The
guide rail part 9 b in oval shape is formed by transforming a part of theguide plate 9. In an example of FIG. 1, theguide rail part 9 b forms a groove by bending a plate of theguide plate 9. - The
guide rail part 9b is created by creating an opening (corresponding to theopening 9 c for ventilation) in theguide plate 9 and bending a hem of the created opening. - The
opening 9 c for ventilation is a cavity created inside of theguide rail part 9 b by providing theguide rail part 9 b. - In the
guide plate 9, thereinforcement bending part 9 a, theguide rail part 9 b, and theopening 9 c for ventilation are formed by bending an edge of one plate in a structure. In other words, theguide plate 9 illustrated in FIG. 1 does not include a plurality of component parts, but theguide plate 9 includes above elements as an integrated structure. Specifically, theguide plate 9 is formed by bending one seamless material for example. Therefore, theguide plate 9 is connected to thereinforcement bending part 9 a and theguide rail part 9 b without division. - The
plate opening 10 is an opening for ventilation between theguide plates 9. - Next, an operation of inserting the
package 7 into thesubrack 1 of integrated type is explained. - The
package 7 is put in theguide groove 8a of thefront rail 8 and inserted on a side of thebackboard 3. Thepackage 7 is guided along theguide rail part 9 b of theguide plate 9. Further, when thepackage 7 is continued to be inserted, a connector (not illustrated) of thepackage 7 and a connector (not illustrated) of thebackboard 3 are connected, and thepackage 7 is accommodated in thesubrack 1 of integrated type. - Since the
reinforcement bending part 8 b of thefront rail 8 and thereinforcement bending part 9a in L-shape of theguide plate 9 are included, when and after thepackage 7 is inserted, it prevents theguide plate 9 from deflecting due to a weight of thepackage 7 and being deformed by deflection.

reinforcement bending part 8b of thefront rail 8 and thereinforcement bending part 9 a in L-shape of theguide plate 9 are included, when and after thepackage 7 is inserted, it prevents theguide plate 9 from deflecting due to a weight of thepackage 7 and being deformed by deflection. Therefore, even if the front rail of theguide plate 9 in the upper side does not include thereinforcement bending part 8 b included in thefront rail 8 at the front edge of theguide plate 9 in the lower side, it is possible to maintain sufficient strength of the subrack of integrated type. Accordingly, since the subrack of integrated type can be structured in a simple shape, a number of parts and a number of manufacturing steps can be reduced. Further, a similar effect withEmbodiments - Embodiment 4.
- In the following, Embodiment 4 of this invention is explained with reference to drawings.
- FIG. 8 is a sectional view (looked from arrow B in FIG. 1) of a subrack of integrated type according to this embodiment.
- FIG. 9 is a sectional view (a part of a sectional view looked from arrow C in FIG. 8) illustrating an example of a
guide rail part 12 in this embodiment. FIG. 9 illustrates twoguide rail parts 12. - The
guide rail part 9 b of theguide plate 9 illustrated in FIG. 1 is formed by bending inward at angle α which is 90 degree from a horizontal plane. - The angle α of bending inward is an angle formed between the
guide plate 9 and a bent part of the edge forming the hem of theopening 9 c for ventilation of theguide plate 9. The angle α of bending inward is also an angle formed between a plate plane of theguide plate 9 and theguide rail part 9 b or an angle formed between a horizontal plane of theguide plate 9 and theguide rail part 9 b when theguide rail part 9 b is bent inward. - The
guide rail part 12 illustrated in FIG. 9 is a guide rail part formed by bending inward at the angle α which is 95 degree or more from the horizontal plane. Thepackage 7 is inserted into a part indicated by arrow D. Practically, theguide plate 9 is often made of metal for improving processing efficiency. Theguide rail part 9 b is manufactured by drawing the metal. When the angle of bending inward in drawing is 90 degree, a burr is created by drawing. Therefore, deburring drawing is performed for safety. However, when the angle α of bending inward is 95 degree or more (obtuse angle, angle which is about 5 degree or more bigger than 90 degree) as in this embodiment, almost no burr is created by drawing and it is safe. Therefore, deburring processing is not necessary. Consequently, a similar effect withEmbodiments - Embodiment 5.
