[0005] Existing wire duct assemblies have the problem of degrading aesthetics due to exposed wiring caused by inserting plugs in the upper direction of the duct, as well as problems such as reduced operational feel and increased maintenance costs resulting from opening and closing the cover on both sides through complex configurations like link structures.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to improve this.

[0007] A related background technology is Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1901319 (Registered September 17, 2018, Title: Wiring Guide Device). The problem to be solved

[0008] The present invention was created out of the above necessity, and aims to provide a wiring guide device that improves the sense of operation by smoothly inducing the closing of the opening / closing cover when the opening / closing cover switches from open to closed by a selective rotation connection part, wherein a delay buffer part buffers the rotation speed of the opening / closing cover to delay it. means of solving the problem

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the wiring guide device according to the present invention is characterized by comprising: a mounting frame that is mounted so as to be in communication with the installation hole of a panel; an opening / closing cover that is received in the mounting frame and covers the installation hole so as to be opened / closed; a selectable rotational connection part that hinge-connects the opening / closing cover and the mounting frame so as to rotate the opening / closing cover to one of the two sides in the width direction selected; and a delay buffer part that buffers the rotational speed of the opening / closing cover so as to be delayed when the opening / closing cover is switched from an open state to a closed state through the selectable rotational connection part.

[0010] The above-described selectable pivot connection part is characterized by including a pair of hinge protrusions formed spaced apart on each side in the longitudinal direction of the mounting frame, and a detachable hinge groove formed recessed in the opening / closing cover so as to be detachably fitted into the hinge protrusions.

[0011] The above delay damping member is characterized by including a pair of support tubes each provided on the opposing inner surfaces of the mounting frame, and a damper each inserted into the support tubes and configured to allow a piston rod to extend and retract, thereby supporting the opening and closing cover in a damping manner.

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a wiring guide device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. In this process, the thickness of the lines or the size of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of explanation.

[0017] Furthermore, the terms described below are defined in consideration of their functions in the present invention, and these may vary depending on the intent or practice of the user or operator. Therefore, the definitions of these terms should be based on the content throughout this specification.

[0019] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a wiring guide device according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a wiring guide device according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a wiring guide device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an operation diagram illustrating the operating state of a wiring guide device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, a wiring guide device according to one embodiment of the present invention is installed on a panel (P), such as a desk or table, to guide wiring, and includes a mounting frame (10), an opening / closing cover (20), a selective rotation connection part (30), and a delay buffer part (40).

[0022] The mounting frame (10) is configured to be mounted so as to be connected to the installation hole (H) of the panel (P). The mounting frame (10) is formed with open upper and lower sides so as to be connected to the installation hole (H) and mounted to cover the entire inner surface of the installation hole (H).

[0023] Of course, the mounting frame (10) can be applied in various shapes and various materials.

[0024] Additionally, the opening / closing cover (20) is configured to be received in the mounting frame (10) and to cover the installation hole (H) so that it can be opened and closed. This opening / closing cover (20) prevents external foreign matter from entering the installation hole (H) and, when necessary, opens to allow the insertion of wiring.

[0025] At this time, on both sides in the width direction of the opening / closing cover (20), a gripping insertion groove (21) may be formed in a recess to guide the user's hand into the installation hole (H) so that the user can lift the opening / closing cover (20) while gripping it. As a result, the user can grip and lift the opening / closing cover (20) after inserting their hand into the gripping insertion groove (21), thereby allowing the installation hole (H) to be opened easily.

[0026] Meanwhile, the selective rotation connection part (30) is configured to hinge-connect the opening / closing cover (30) and the mounting frame (10) so that the opening / closing cover (20) rotates to either side selected from the two sides in the width direction.

[0027] Such a selective rotation connection part (30) performs the function of enabling the opening / closing cover (20) to be rotated in a direction desired by the user by individually hinge-connecting both sides in the width direction of the opening / closing cover (20) to the mounting frame (10).

[0028] Specifically, the selective rotation connection part (30) may include a pair of hinge protrusions (31) formed to protrude spaced apart on each side in the longitudinal direction of the mounting frame (10), and a separation hinge groove (32) formed to be recessed in the opening / closing cover (20) so as to be detachably fitted into the hinge protrusions (31).

[0029] At this time, the separation hinge groove (32) may include a rotation receiving groove (32a) that rotatably accommodates the hinge projection (31), and a separation guide groove (32b) that is open to communicate with the rotation receiving groove (32a) and guides the rotation receiving groove (32a) to be separated from the hinge projection (31).

[0030] That is, when the user lifts one side of the opening / closing cover (20) in the width direction, the rotation receiving groove (32a) is separated from the hinge projection (31) through the separation guide groove (32b) on one side of the opening / closing cover (20), and the rotation receiving groove (32a) is rotated while being received in the hinge projection (31) on the other side of the opening / closing cover (20). Conversely, when the user lifts the other side of the opening / closing cover (20) in the width direction, the rotation receiving groove (32a) is separated from the hinge projection (31) through the separation guide groove (32b) on the other side of the opening / closing cover (20), and the rotation receiving groove (32a) is rotated while being received in the hinge projection (31) on one side of the opening / closing cover (20).

[0031] Accordingly, the user can freely select the rotational direction of the opening / closing cover (20) and can lift or close the opening / closing cover (20) in the selected direction. In addition, because the opening / closing cover (20) can be stably supported from the hinge projection (31) due to the combined structure of the separation guide groove (32b) and the rotation receiving groove (32a), reliable opening and closing is possible without shaking or falling off during the opening / closing operation.

[0032] Additionally, the delay buffer (40) is configured to buffer the rotation speed of the opening / closing cover (20) so as to delay it when the opening / closing cover (20) is switched from an open state to a closed state through the selection / rotation connection (30).

[0033] Accordingly, when the opening / closing cover (20) is rotated in the closing direction, the delay buffer (40) acts to gradually reduce the rotation speed and absorb the shock, thereby preventing sudden collision or shaking of the opening / closing cover (20) and inducing it to close smoothly and stably.

[0034] Specifically, the delay buffer (40) may include a pair of support tubes (41) each provided on the opposing inner surface of the mounting frame (10) and a damper (42) inserted into each of the support tubes (41) and configured to allow a piston rod (42a) to move in and out so as to buffer the opening / closing cover (20).

[0035] At this time, the piston rod (42a) remains in a state protruding from the damper (41), and at the moment it comes into contact with the opening / closing cover (20), it is gradually inserted into the damper (42) by the load of the opening / closing cover (20).

[0036] In addition, the support tube (41) is positioned to be inclined diagonally toward each other toward the upper side, and on each side in the longitudinal direction of the opening / closing cover (20), an insertion guide groove (22) may be formed in a recess to guide the piston rod (42a) to be inserted into the damper (42) along the rotational trajectory of the opening / closing cover (20).

[0037] That is, since the support tube (41) is positioned to be inclined diagonally toward each other on both inner sides in the longitudinal direction of the mounting frame (10) regardless of whether the opening / closing cover (20) rotates in either direction in the width direction, the piston rod (42a) corresponding to when the opening / closing cover (20) closes receives the impact from the opening / closing cover (20) and is smoothly inserted into the damper (42), thereby enabling the opening / closing cover (20) to perform cushioning regardless of the rotation direction of the opening / closing cover (20).

[0038] Thus, not only can the opening / closing cover (20) be guided to close stably and smoothly regardless of which direction the opening / closing cover (20) is rotated in the width direction, but the piston rod (42a) is smoothly inserted into the damper (42) along the insertion guide groove (22) when the opening / closing cover (20) is rotated in the closing direction, thereby effectively absorbing the shock generated during the rotation process.

[0039] Additionally, the opening / closing cover (20) may have a round portion (23) formed protrudingly that contacts the piston rod (42a) when switching from open to closed, guiding the piston rod (42) into the insertion guide groove (22).

[0040] Accordingly, this prevents the piston rod (42a) from getting caught on the opening / closing cover (20) or from being inserted smoothly due to friction, and guides the piston rod (42a) to be smoothly inserted into the damper (42) along the insertion guide groove (22), thereby stably providing a cushioning effect.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, this is merely illustrative, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent alternative embodiments are possible therefrom.

[0043] Therefore, the true technical scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the following claims. Explanation of the symbols
