[0029] Example:

[0030] Please see Figure 1-6 A multimeter lead organizer includes two fixing plates 1 fixed to one side of the multimeter. Each fixing plate 1 has a placement groove 4 on its top. A multimeter lead with a wire wrapped around it is placed in the placement groove 4. One fixing plate 1 has a clearance groove 9 on one side. The wire connected to one end of the multimeter lead passes through the clearance groove 9. A connecting frame 7 is welded between the two fixing plates 1. The top of the connecting frame 7 has a limiting component for fixing the multimeter lead.

[0031] In use, the wire is wound around the two probes, and then the probes with the wire wound are placed into the placement slot 4, so that the wire connected to one end of the probe passes through the clearance slot 9. Then, the probe is fixed by the limiting component, thus completing the storage of the probe and the wire, so that the wire does not come into contact with the ground or table, thereby avoiding wire wear and extending the service life of the wire.

[0032] The limiting component includes slots 11 on the inner walls of both sides of the connecting frame 7, a card holder 6 is inserted into the slot 11, the card holder 6 is L-shaped, a pressure frame 2 is integrally formed on the top of the card holder 6, and the pressure frame 2 is in contact with the probe, and locking components for auxiliary fixing of the card holder 6 are provided on both sides of the connecting frame 7.

[0033] Insert the card holder 6 into the card slot 11, so that the inner walls on both sides of the card holder 6 contact the card slot 11 and the connecting bracket 7 respectively, and use the locking component to fix the card holder 6, so that the card holder 6 presses down on both ends of the test leads, and fixes the test leads completely in the placement slot 4, preventing the test leads from moving out of the placement slot 4 during movement, thus improving the stability of the test lead placement.

[0034] The locking assembly includes an elastic plate 15 welded to the bottom of the card holder 6. The elastic plate 15 is made of elastic material, preferably elastic steel or elastic plastic. A fixing groove 14 is provided on one side of the elastic plate 15. An ellipsoid 13 is bonded in the fixing groove 14. Arc-shaped grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the connecting frame 7, and the ellipsoid 13 is located in the arc-shaped grooves 12.

[0035] During the process of the card holder 6 being inserted into the card slot 11, the ellipsoid 13 will squeeze the elastic plate 15 and bend it. When the card holder 6 is fully inserted into the card slot 11, the ellipsoid 13 will be inserted into the arc-shaped groove 12, and the bent elastic plate 15 will be reset, thereby fixing the card holder 6 and then fixing the pressure frame 2, which improves the fixing effect of the pressure frame 2 pressing down the gauge pen.

[0036] Among them, a protective plate 3 is glued to one side of the pressure frame 2 and the card holder 6, and a protective cover 10 is provided on one side of one of the fixing plates 1, and the protective cover 10 is fixed to the fixing plate 1 by a connecting component.

[0037] The protective cover 10 protects one side of the wire and the connection between the probe and the wire, thus preventing foreign objects from directly contacting the wire and improving the protective effect of the device.

[0038] The connecting assembly includes a fixing ear 8 integrally formed on one side of the fixing plate 1. A slot 17 is provided through the top of the fixing ear 8. A plug rod 16 is welded into the slot 17 on one side inner wall of the protective cover 10. Multiple positioning grooves 18 are provided on the outer circumference of the plug rod 16. A rubber ring 19 is fitted inside the positioning groove 18.

[0039] During the installation of the protective cover 10, the insert rod 16 is inserted into the slot 17, and one end of the insert rod 16 contacts the top of the fixing ear 8, so that the insert rod 16 and the protective cover 10 will not fall downward. At the same time, the rubber ring 19 will be squeezed and deformed when it enters the slot 17, increasing the friction between the insert rod 16 and the slot 17, so that the insert rod 16 will not easily move out, thus improving the stability of the device protection.

[0040] Rubber pads 5 are glued to the inner walls on both sides of the two placement slots 4, and the rubber pads 5 are in contact with the test leads to protect the test leads and prevent abnormal wear caused by direct contact between the test leads and the placement slots 4. At the same time, they can also help fix the test leads.

[0041] The specific steps for using this utility model are as follows:

[0042] S1: Wrap the wire around the two probes, then place the probes with the wire wrapped around them into the placement slot 4, and make the wire connected to one end of the probe pass through the clearance slot 9.

[0043] S2: Insert the card holder 6 into the card slot 11, so that the inner walls on both sides of the card holder 6 contact the card slot 11 and the connecting bracket 7 respectively, and use the locking component to fix the card holder 6, so that the card holder 6 presses down on both ends of the test leads, and fixes the test leads completely in the placement slot 4.

[0044] S3: During the process of the card holder 6 being inserted into the card slot 11, the ellipsoid 13 will squeeze the elastic plate 15 and bend it. When the card holder 6 is fully inserted into the card slot 11, the ellipsoid 13 will be inserted into the arc-shaped groove 12, and the bent elastic plate 15 will be reset, thereby fixing the card holder 6 and then fixing the pressure frame 2.

[0045] S4: Insert the plug rod 16 into the slot 17 and make one end of the plug rod 16 contact the top of the fixing ear 8 so that the plug rod 16 and the protective cover 10 will not fall down. At the same time, the rubber ring 19 will be squeezed and deformed when it enters the slot 17, increasing the friction between the plug rod 16 and the slot 17, so that the plug rod 16 will not be easily moved out, thereby completing the installation of the protective cover 10.

[0046] S5: The above steps can complete the storage of the test leads and wires, preventing the wires from contacting the ground or tabletop, thus avoiding wire wear and extending the service life of the wires.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
