[0028] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a furniture integrated cable tray includes a cable tray frame 1. A strip channel 3 is provided on the front wall of the cable tray frame 1, and a sealing plate 4 for sealing the strip channel 3 is vertically rotatably connected inside the strip channel 3. A cable routing structure is provided on the front end face of the sealing plate 4.

[0030] The wiring structure includes a transmission assembly, a mounting plate 8 disposed on the transmission assembly, and a plurality of clamping members 9 disposed on the mounting plate 8 for clamping wires. The front wall of the sealing plate 4 is provided with a horizontal plate 20 for opening the clamping members 9.

[0031] The transmission assembly is driven by the drive assembly to move the mounting plate 8 and the clamping member 9 up and down along the sealing plate 4.

[0032] Preferably, the clamping member 9 includes a base 91 connected to the mounting plate 8, an arc-shaped connecting plate 92 hinged to the base 91 via a spring hinge and connected to the base 91 via a pin 98 to form an annular inner cavity, and a pressing member provided on the arc-shaped connecting plate 92. The arc-shaped connecting plate 92 has a pin hole 99. The pin 98 includes a movable shaft 981 passing through the base 91, a stop block 982 respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the movable shaft 981, and a pin 983 provided on the outer wall of the movable shaft 981 for insertion into the pin hole 99.

[0033] Preferably, the pressing component includes a movable rod 93 that passes through and is slidably connected to the arc-shaped connecting plate 92, a first pressure plate 95 disposed at one end of the movable rod 93, a first spring 94 disposed between the first pressure plate 95 and the inner wall of the arc-shaped connecting plate 92 and sleeved on the outside of the movable rod 93, a baffle 97 disposed at the other end of the movable rod 93, and a first protective pad 96 disposed on the wire contact surface of the first pressure plate 95.

[0034] During wiring, first rotate the end face of the sealing plate 4 with the cable routing structure towards the user. At this time, the mounting plate 8 is located at the bottom of the cable tray frame 1. Press down on the movable shaft 981 to completely remove the pin 983 from the pin hole 99. Then, the arc-shaped connecting plate 92 will spring open relative to the base 91 under the elastic force of the spring hinge. Pass the wire through the U-shaped protective cover 16 inside the wire channel 15 at the bottom of the cable tray frame 1 into the cable tray frame 1. At this time, the second pressure plate 18 and the second protective pad 19 inside the U-shaped protective cover 16 will press the wire against the inner wall of the U-shaped protective cover 16 under the elastic force of the second spring 17. Pull out the wire and let it pass through the wire groove 401 to the cable tray frame 1. Externally, the wire is placed inside the base 91 and the arc-shaped connecting plate 92, and then the movable shaft 981 is pushed upwards, causing the pin 983 to be inserted into the pin hole 99, thus connecting the base 91 and the arc-shaped connecting plate 92 together. At this time, the first protective pad 96 presses against the inner wall of the base 91 against the wire, thus storing the wire inside the clamping member 9. The movable rod 93 and the first spring 94 are designed to accommodate wires of different thicknesses and to facilitate the movement of the wire relative to the clamping member 9 when the wire is pulled out. After multiple wires are fixed inside different clamping members 9, the connecting sleeve 13 is connected and fixed to the lead screw 6, and the front end face of the sealing plate 4 with the wire routing structure is rotated to face the inside of the wire groove frame 1, that is, as shown. Figure 2In the indicated state, activating the drive assembly moves the wire from the bottom to the top of the wire trough frame 1, allowing the wire to be evenly distributed inside the wire trough frame 1. When the horizontal plate 20 contacts the stop block 982, the clamping member 9 continues to move upward. The movable shaft 981 and the pin 983 will move downward relative to the clamping member 9 under the pressure of the horizontal plate 20 until the pin 983 is completely removed from the pin hole 99. At this point, the arc-shaped connecting plate 92 will spring open relative to the base 91. The wire clamped inside the clamping member 9 is no longer pressed by the first pressure plate 95 and is thus released. The wire then passes through the U-shaped protective cover 16 inside the wire channel 15 at the top of the wire trough frame 1. The cable tray 1 uses a second spring 17, a second pressure plate 18, and a second protective pad 19 to press the wires against the inner wall of the U-shaped protective cover 16, thus neatly storing the wires. When a wire needs to be added, the motor 12 is started. The motor 12 drives the lead screw 6 to rotate, causing the nut seat 7, mounting plate 8, and clamping member 9 to move from top to bottom along the lead screw 6. When they reach the bottom of the lead screw 6, they stop, and the wire to be added is inserted into the cable tray 1 through the U-shaped protective cover 16 inside the wire channel 15 at the bottom of the cable tray 1. At this time, the second pressure plate 18 and the second protective pad 19 inside the U-shaped protective cover 16 will press the wires against the inner wall of the U-shaped protective cover 16 under the elastic force of the second spring 17. The inner wall of the protective cover 16 is pressed against the wire. The added wire is pulled out and passed through the wire groove 401 to the outside of the wire groove frame 1. Then the added wire is placed inside the base 91 and the arc-shaped connecting plate 92. The movable shaft 981 is pushed upward, so that the pin 983 is inserted into the pin hole 99, thereby connecting the base 91 and the arc-shaped connecting plate 92 together. The first protective pad 96 presses against the inner wall of the base 91 against the added wire, thereby storing the added wire inside the clamping member 9. The motor 12 is started again. The motor 12 drives the lead screw 6 to rotate, thereby causing the nut seat 7, the mounting plate 8 and the clamping member 9 to move from bottom to top along the lead screw 6. They stop when they reach the top of the lead screw 6. Under the pressure of the horizontal plate 20 of the movable shaft 981, the entire shaft moves out of the pin hole 99, thereby opening the base 91 and the arc-shaped connecting plate 92. This allows the added wires clamped inside the clamping member 9 to be released. The added wires are then fixed inside the U-shaped protective cover 16 at the top of the wire groove frame 1, thus completing the installation of the wires. The wire groove 401 facilitates the insertion and exit of the wires when the sealing plate 4 is flipped, without compressing the wires. The operating port 14 is designed to facilitate the user to remove the drive component. The wiring operation is more convenient, especially when the space available for wiring is small or the area where the wires are laid is wide. This can reduce the workload and bring convenience to the user.

[0035] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a lead screw 6, a fixing block 5 rotatably connected to both ends of the lead screw 6 and fixed on the sealing plate 4, and a nut seat 7 connected to the ball nut pair of the lead screw 6 and used to fix the mounting plate 8.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the nut seat 7 is equipped with a limiting slider, which is slidably connected to the limiting groove formed on the sealing plate 4, thereby limiting the movement path of the nut seat 7.

[0037] In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes an outer protective shell 11, a motor 12 disposed inside the outer protective shell 11, and a connecting sleeve 13 connected to the output shaft of the motor 12 and used for connecting to the lead screw 6. The front wall of the sealing plate 4 is provided with a connecting seat 10 for connecting to the outer protective shell 11.

[0038] In this embodiment, each lead screw 6 is provided with a connecting block 61 at its top. The connecting sleeve 13 has a connecting groove 131 inside for the connecting block 61 to slide and engage. The lead screw 6 and the connecting sleeve 13 are connected and fixed together by the connecting block 61 and the connecting groove 131. When the motor 12 is started, the motor 12 can drive the lead screw 6 to rotate, thereby causing the nut seat 7 to move along the lead screw 6 together with the parts connected to the nut seat 7. In actual use, if multiple wire groove frames 1 are connected and laid in sequence, the lead screw 6 and the connecting sleeve 13 are easy to disassemble and install, and only one drive component is required, which can save costs.

[0039] Preferably, the sealing plate 4 has wire grooves 401 at both the bottom and top for wires to pass through, facilitating wire insertion and exit when rotating the sealing plate 4. The wire groove frame 1 has operating openings 14 at both its upper and lower ends, and wire channels 15 are provided behind the operating openings 14 at both ends. The wire channels 15 contain several storage components, including a U-shaped protective cover 16 connected to the inner wall of the wire channel 15, and a... The second spring 17, the second pressure plate 18 connected to the second spring 17, and the second protective pad 19 on the outer surface of the second pressure plate 18 are located inside the U-shaped protective cover 16. The operating port 14 is designed to allow the user to insert their hand into the wire trough frame 1. The wire is passed through the U-shaped protective cover 16 inside the wire channel 15 and out of the wire trough frame 1. The second spring 17 acts as a spring force, and the second pressure plate 18 and the second protective pad 19 press the wire against the inner wall of the U-shaped protective cover 16 to fix the wire.

[0040] In this embodiment, the front end face of the wire trough frame 1 is rotatably connected with several fixing pins 402. The front and rear end faces of the sealing plate 4 are provided with pin seats 403 for engaging the fixing pins 402. The pin seats 403 are rotatably engaged into the fixing pins 402, thereby connecting and fixing the sealing plate 4 and the wire trough frame 1, preventing the sealing plate 4 from rotating relative to the wire trough frame 1 during construction and use.

[0041] likeFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cable tray connector for an integrated cable tray in furniture includes a mounting base 2 that is slidably connected to the rear wall of the cable tray frame 1 via a slide rail, and the mounting base 2 has a mounting hole 201.

[0042] Preferably, the upper or lower end face of the mounting base 2 is provided with a retaining strip 202 or a retaining groove 203 adapted to the retaining strip 202.

[0043] When installing the cable tray frame 1, two mounting bases 2 with retaining strips 202 are slidably connected to the upper rear wall of the cable tray frame 1 via slide rails, and two mounting bases 2 with retaining slots 203 are slidably connected to the lower rear wall of the cable tray frame 1 via slide rails. The connection state after assembly is as follows. Figure 1 As shown, when multiple cable tray frames 1 are laid in sequence, adjacent cable tray frames 1 are aligned by inserting the clip 202 into the slot seat 203. Bolts pass through the mounting holes 201, and tightening the bolts can fix the mounting seat 2 and the cable tray frame 1 to the furniture. The sliding connection between the mounting seat 2 and the cable tray frame 1 is for the convenience of later maintenance and the installation of wires. Sliding adjacent cable tray frames 1 away from each other will create a gap between the two cable tray frames 1 to facilitate user operation.

[0044] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
