DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] An embodiment of the present application provides a cable entry fixing assembly.

[0036] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the cable entry fixing assembly of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the cable entry fixing assembly includes: a base 1 and an optical cable fixing structure 2.

[0037] Among them, an opening 11 for the optical cable to be inserted is provided on one side of the base 1, and a receiving groove 12 is also provided in the base 1; the optical cable fixing structure 2 is detachably fixed in the receiving groove 12, and the optical cable fixing structure 2 includes two clamping ends 21 arranged at intervals, and the two clamping ends 21 extend from the receiving groove 12 to form a clamping area 22 connected to the opening 11 and used to clamp the optical cable.

[0038] It can be understood that the cable entry fixing assembly in the present application is more convenient to use. It only needs to clamp the optical cable into the clamping area 22 from the lateral opening 11 of the base 1. In order to better clamp the optical cable, the clamping area 22 is circular. The clamping end 21 will firmly clamp the optical cable to prevent it from moving. Compared with cable ties, the cable entry fixing assembly in the present application can fix the optical cable more stably; compared with metal throat hoops and plastic sockets, the cable entry fixing assembly in the present application does not require the use of screwdrivers or screws for fixing, and the operation is simpler.

[0039] For specific implementation, see Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 includes a U-shaped outer side surface 13, and a U-shaped inner side surface 14 connected to the end of the U-shaped outer side surface 13 and spaced apart; the open ends of the U-shaped outer side surface 13 and the U-shaped inner side surface 14 form the opening 11; the gap between the U-shaped outer side surface 13 and the U-shaped inner side surface 14 forms the receiving groove 12. That is, the U-shaped inner side surface 14 extends toward each other along the end of the U-shaped outer side surface 13 and is recessed into the inside of the U-shaped outer side surface 13, thereby forming the receiving groove 12. The base 1 in this embodiment is a plastic part, and it is understandable that other materials can also be used, and this embodiment is not limited here.

[0040] Correspondingly, in one embodiment, the optical cable fixing structure 2 includes a positioning plate 23 and two fixing plates 24 arranged on both sides of the positioning plate 23, and the positioning plate 23 and the two fixing plates 24 form a U-shaped structure. The optical cable fixing structure 2 in this embodiment is a metal spring sheet, and it is understood that other materials can also be used, and this embodiment is not limited here.

[0041] That is to say, the present application is to embed the U-shaped optical cable fixing structure 2 into the U-shaped receiving groove 12 of the base 1. In order to better fix the two, a limiting groove 131 is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped inner side surface 14; and a limiting elastic arm 231 is provided on the positioning plate 23 to cooperate with the limiting groove 131. When the optical cable fixing structure 2 is inserted into the receiving groove 12, the limiting elastic arm 231 is first compressed. When it is installed in place, the limiting elastic arm 231 will pop out from the limiting groove 131, thereby limiting the position to prevent the optical cable fixing structure 2 from escaping from the base 1.

[0042] Preferably, in this embodiment, a one-way limit method is used to limit the movement of the optical cable in a specific direction. Specifically, the two clamping ends 21 are respectively connected to the end of one of the fixing plates 24, and the two clamping ends 21 extend upwardly and tilted toward each other. It can be seen that since the clamping ends 21 extend upwardly and tilted toward each other at this time, it will be difficult to pull the optical cable downward, and correspondingly, it will be easier to pull the optical cable upward.

[0043] Therefore, on the one hand, the metal spring piece adopts a one-way limiting method to limit the movement of the optical cable in a specific direction; on the other hand, the metal spring piece adopts an elastic arm design, and the metal spring piece and the plastic part are fixed by the elastic arm, which can be disassembled and replaced while ensuring stability.

[0044] It is worth noting that the cable entry fixing assembly in this embodiment is mainly installed on a box or a bracket. Taking the bracket as an example, in order to facilitate installation, at least one hanging ear 15 is provided on the base 1.

[0045] See also Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the base 1 is provided with two hanging ears 15, and a spring buckle 16 is further provided between the two hanging ears 15, and the spring buckle 16 is provided with a positioning protrusion 161 for fixing. Correspondingly, a positioning hole 31 is also provided on the bracket 3. Figure 4 As shown, during installation, first slightly open the snap buckle 16, then hang the ear 15 on the top end surface of the bracket 3, and then adjust the position of the cable entry fixing assembly so that the positioning protrusion 161 is aligned with the positioning hole 31 to complete the fixation. Figure 5 As shown, after the installation and fixation of the cable entry fixing assembly is completed, an optical cable of a corresponding size can be inserted through the opening 11 on the side of the base 1 to complete the fixation of the optical cable.

[0046] It is understandable that the fixing method of the snap buckle 16 in this embodiment is adopted to fix the box or bracket, which is simple to disassemble and has strong compatibility. It is worth noting that the present application can realize the fixing of optical cables with different cable diameters by cooperating with different bases 1 and optical cable fixing structures 2.

[0047] In summary, the cable entry fixing assembly in the present application includes a base 1 and an optical cable fixing structure 2. An opening 11 for inserting an optical cable is provided on one side of the base 1, and a receiving groove 12 is also provided inside the base 1; the optical cable fixing structure 2 is fixed in the receiving groove 12, and the optical cable fixing structure 2 includes two clamping ends 21 arranged at intervals, and the two clamping ends 21 extend from the receiving groove 12 to form a clamping area 22 connected to the opening 11 and used to clamp the optical cable.

[0048] Therefore, optical cables with different cable diameters can be fixed by installing different optical cable fixing structures 2. In addition, the installation method of the optical cable fixing structure 2 and the base 1 can be disassembled and replaced while ensuring stability, and is easy to operate and disassemble.

[0049] The embodiment of the present application also provides a method for using the cable entry fixing assembly.

[0050] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of the method for using the cable fixing assembly of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the method for using the cable entry fixing assembly includes:

[0051] S1. Select a cable entry fixing assembly that matches the size of the optical cable to be fixed;

[0052] It can be understood that step S1 mainly involves selecting a suitable base 1 and optical cable fixing structure 2, wherein the optical cable fixing structure 2 matches the receiving groove 12 of the base 1, and then, it needs to be ensured that the size of the clamping area 22 formed by the optical cable fixing structure 2 matches the size of the optical cable.

[0053] S2. Fix the selected cable entry fixing assembly on the bracket;

[0054] Specifically, the base 1 in this embodiment is provided with two hanging ears 15, and a spring buckle 16 is provided between the two hanging ears 15, and a positioning protrusion 161 for fixing is provided on the spring buckle 16. Correspondingly, a positioning hole 31 is also provided on the bracket 3. Figure 4 As shown, during installation, first slightly bend the spring buckle 16 outward, then hang the ear 15 on the top end face of the bracket 3, and then adjust the position of the cable entry fixing assembly so that the positioning protrusion 161 is aligned with the positioning hole 31 to complete the fixation.

[0055] S3, pushing the optical cable to be fixed laterally from the opening 11 to the clamping area 22 formed by the two clamping ends 21 to complete the fixing of the optical cable.

[0056] It is worth noting that the present application can achieve the fixation of optical cables with different cable diameters by cooperating with different bases 1 and optical cable fixing structures 2.
