Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrical components, and in particular to a wire fixing device and a wire fixing method. Background Art

[0002] At present, smart devices are becoming more and more popular. Most smart devices are equipped with boards, which are connected with various cables for data transmission and power supply. If the data transmission cable is loose or not plugged in, some functions of the smart device will fail, and if the power supply cable is loose or not plugged in, the board will not work.

[0003] There are several ways to fix the connection wires on the board of smart devices: one is to put the connection wires into the R-type wire clip, and then fix the R-type wire clip to the outer shell of the board with bolts; when connecting and removing the wires, you need to tighten the bolts, which is time-consuming and laborious. Another is to fix the cable tie fixing seat to the outer shell of the board with bolts, and then fix the wires to the cable tie fixing seat with cable ties; when removing the wires, you need to cut the cable ties; when connecting, you need to tie the cable ties, which wastes the cable ties and is time-consuming and laborious. Another is to stick the wires to the outer shell of the board with tape. After a long time, the adhesiveness of the tape will fail, causing the connection wires to loosen. When the connection wires are subjected to tension, the tape may also loosen, so the fixed wires are unstable. Summary of the invention

[0014] Wherein, limiting protrusions are arranged on the limiting surface, the connector of the connecting wire can abut against the limiting protrusions, and the limiting protrusions are integrally formed with the limiting part.

[0015] Wherein, limiting protrusions are arranged on the limiting surface, the connector of the connecting wire can abut against the limiting protrusions, the limiting protrusions are detachably connected to the limiting part, and the thickness of the limiting protrusions is adjustable.

[0047] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation manners.

[0048] See also Figures 1 to 9 An embodiment of the present invention provides a wire fixing device for fixing a connecting wire 200, and the connecting wire 200 is detachably connected to the wire fixing device.

[0049] The wire fixing device includes a supporting assembly 10, a limiting assembly 20 and a locking assembly 30. The supporting assembly 10 includes a mounting plate 11, and the mounting plate 11 is used to install the electrical component 100; the limiting assembly 20 includes a limiting portion 21, and the limiting portion 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11. The limiting portion 21 can rotate between an open position and a closed position. A plurality of wire fixing grooves 211 are provided on the limiting portion 21. When the limiting portion 21 is in the closed position, the wire fixing grooves 211 are used to fix the connecting wire 200; the locking assembly 30 includes a locking rod 32, and the locking rod 32 can move between a locking position and a releasing position. When the locking rod 32 is in the locking position, the locking rod 32 locks the limiting portion 21 and the mounting plate 11.

[0050] When wiring, insert one end of the connecting wire 200 into the electrical component 100, rotate the limiting part 21 to the closed position, so that the connecting wire 200 is inserted into the fixing groove 211; operate the locking rod 32 to move to the locking position, so that the locking rod 32 locks the limiting part 21 and the mounting plate 11; no cable tie or adhesive tape is required, and only two steps are required to rotate the limiting part 21 and operate the locking rod 32 to fix the wire. Since the locking rod 32 locks the limiting part 21, the position of the limiting part 21 is stable and the connecting wire 200 will not loosen. When removing the wire, only two steps are required to operate the locking rod 32 and rotate the limiting part 21 to pull out the connecting wire 200, which is convenient for wiring and removing the wire, saving time and effort.

[0051] The electrical component 100 may be a circuit board or other component that can be connected to the connecting wire 200. In some embodiments, at least one end of the electrical component 100 is provided with a plurality of sockets 101, and one end of the connecting wire 200 can be inserted into the socket 101. The socket 101 can be understood as a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed accommodating cavity that accommodates the end of the connecting wire 200, and is usually set to a fully enclosed structure.

[0052] In this embodiment, the socket 101 is provided on the electrical component 100. All the sockets 101 of some electrical components 100 are concentrated at one end of the electrical component 100, and the sockets 101 are provided at multiple ends of some electrical components 100. The number of the limiter components 20 can be set according to actual needs. When installing the connecting wires 200, one connecting wire 200 can be provided for each socket 101, or the connecting wires 200 can be provided in some sockets 101 and not provided in some sockets 101 according to actual needs. Therefore, the number of the connecting wires 200 is less than or equal to the number of the sockets 101.

[0053] The number of the wire fixing grooves 211 is not limited herein and can be set according to the number of the sockets 101 on the electrical component 100. When a set of the limiting components 20 is provided, the number of the wire fixing grooves 211 on the limiting part 21 can be equal to the number of the sockets 101 on the electrical component 100. In this embodiment, four sockets 101 are provided at one end of the electrical component 100, and four wire fixing grooves 211 are formed on the limiting part 21, and the limiting part 21 can fix four connecting wires 200. In other embodiments, four sockets 101 are provided at one end of the electrical component 100, and three sockets 101 are provided at the other end of the electrical component 100, then two sets of the limiting components 20 are provided, four wire fixing grooves 211 are formed on one limiting part 21, and three wire fixing grooves 211 are formed on the other limiting part 21, and the wire fixing grooves 211 correspond to the sockets 101 one by one.

[0054] The electrical component 100 and the mounting plate 11 can be detachably connected through studs, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0055] The supporting component 10 further includes a supporting plate 12, and the supporting plate 12 is connected to the mounting plate 11 to support the mounting plate 11. The supporting plate 12 and the mounting plate 11 can be integrally formed or detachably connected. Mounting holes 121 are formed in the supporting plate 12, which is convenient for installing the wire fixing device to other components. The above-mentioned wire fixing device can be used for intelligent devices, and the mounting plate 11 can be installed vertically or horizontally. In this embodiment, the supporting plate 12 and the mounting plate 11 form an L-shaped structure. On the one hand, the stability of the mounting plate 11 can be ensured. On the other hand, the installation and disassembly of the supporting plate 12 and other components will not interfere with the components on the mounting plate 11.

[0056] Generally, the electrical component 100 is a rectangular circuit board, so the mounting plate 11 is also a rectangular plate. Generally, the thickness of the mounting plate 11 is relatively thin. The front surface and the back surface of the mounting plate 11 are the surfaces surrounded by the long side and the wide side of the mounting plate 11, and the front surface and the back surface are two relatively arranged surfaces. In this embodiment, it is defined that the electrical component 100 is arranged on the front surface of the mounting plate 11, and the socket 101 of the electrical component 100 is located at the left end of the mounting plate 11, then the limiting part 21 is arranged at the left end of the mounting plate 11.

[0057] The limiting part 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11, and can be connected by a hinge, a pin or a rotating shaft. In this embodiment, a first mounting block 22 is provided on the limiting part 21, and a second mounting block 13 is provided on the mounting plate 11. The first mounting block 22 and the second mounting block 13 are rotatably connected by bolts. As a feasible way, a through hole is provided in the first mounting block 22, a threaded hole is provided in the second mounting block 13, and the bolt passes through the through hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The limiting part 21 can rotate around the bolt, and the bolt not only functions as a shaft but also is convenient for fixing to the second mounting block 13. A flat washer can be provided between the bolt and the first mounting block 22 to reduce wear.

[0058] A positioning protrusion 23 is provided on the limiting part 21. When the limiting part 21 is in the closed position, the positioning protrusion 23 abuts against the mounting plate 11. The positioning protrusion 23 can prevent the excessive rotation of the limiting part 21. When the positioning protrusion 23 abuts against the mounting plate 11, it is considered that the limiting part 21 has rotated in place.

[0059] The positioning protrusion 23 can be directly provided on the limiting part 21 or on the first mounting block 22. The positioning protrusion 23 can directly abut against the plate surface of the mounting plate 11 or against a positioning part provided on the mounting plate 11 and matching the positioning protrusion 23.

[0060] The limiting part 21 is L-shaped. One end of the limiting part 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11, and a wire fixing groove 211 is provided at the other end of the limiting part 21. Specifically, referring to Figure 8 , the limiting part 21 includes a first plate 212 and a second plate 213 which are vertically arranged. One end of the first plate 212 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11, one end of the second plate 213 is connected to the first plate 212, and a wire fixing groove 211 is provided at the other end of the second plate 213. The limiting part 21 further includes a reinforcing plate 214 which is arranged between the first plate 212 and the second plate 213 to play a reinforcing role.

[0061] An opening is provided at the top end of the wire fixing groove 211, so that the wire fixing groove 211 is in the shape of a U-shaped groove, which is convenient for the connecting wire 200 to be inserted into the wire fixing groove 211. It can be understood that the top end of the wire fixing groove 211 penetrates through to the end face of the limiting part 21 to form an opening. A guiding arc surface is provided at the opening, which is convenient for the connecting wire 200 to be inserted into the wire fixing groove 211 along the guiding arc surface.

[0062] The wire fixing groove 211 is used to fix the connecting wire 200. When the connecting wire 200 passes through the wire fixing groove 211, the wire fixing groove 211 penetrates through the limiting part 21 along the thickness direction of the limiting part 21. When the limiting part 21 is in the closed position, the wire fixing groove 211 is directly opposite to the socket 101 one by one, so that the connecting wire 200 extends in a straight line, avoiding the connecting wire 200 from being bent by force.

[0063] For the connecting wire 200, referring toFigure 9 The connection line 200 includes a connector 201 and a wire body 202. The connector 201 is provided at the end of the wire body 202. The end of the connector 201 can be inserted into the socket 101 on the electrical component 100, and the wire body 202 is threaded through the wire fixing groove 211.

[0064] A limiting surface is formed on the limiting part 21 on the side of the wire fixing groove 211 close to the electrical component 100. The connector 201 of the connection line 200 can abut against the limiting surface. The limiting surface plays a positioning role for the connection line 200 to prevent loosening. Among them, the limiting surface is the inner side surface of the limiting part 21. Specifically, a limiting surface is formed on the limiting part 21 on the side of the wire fixing groove 211 close to the socket 101 of the electrical component 100.

[0065] A step surface 203 is usually provided at the connection between the connector 201 and the wire body 202. When the limiting part 21 is in the closed position, the connection line 200 is inserted into the wire fixing groove 211, the step surface 203 is located outside the wire fixing groove 211, and the step surface 203 abuts against the inner side surface of the limiting part 21.

[0066] Some connectors 201 of the connection line 200 are short, and some connectors 201 of the connection line 200 are long. In order to enable the connectors 201 of different specifications of the connection line 200 to abut against the inner side surface of the limiting part 21, the inner side surface of the limiting part 21 can be set to be stepped.

[0067] In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 24 is provided on the limiting surface. The connector 201 on the connection line 200 can abut against the limiting protrusion 24. The thickness of the limiting protrusion 24 can be set according to the length of the connected connector 201. For multiple wire fixing grooves 211, the limiting protrusion 24 is only provided on one side of the required part of the wire fixing grooves 211.

[0068] In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 24 is integrally formed with the limiting part 21. Corresponding to different wire fixing grooves 211, the thickness of the limiting protrusion 24 can be set according to the length of the connected connector 201, so that the inner side surface of the limiting part 21 is stepped. The integrally formed setting is convenient for processing and production.

[0069] In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 24 is detachably connected to the limiting part 21, and the thickness of the limiting protrusion 24 is adjustable, which is convenient for adapting to more specifications of the connection line 200. Specifically, the thickness of the limiting part 21 is consistent, and a relatively large space is reserved on the inner side surface of the limiting part 21, which is convenient for installing limiting protrusions 24 with different thicknesses.

[0070] The thickness of the limiting protrusion 24 is adjustable. It can be that the limiting protrusion 24 includes a plurality of limiting pieces detachably connected, and the number of limiting pieces is selected according to the required thickness of the limiting protrusion 24. The limiting pieces can be bonded to each other or fixed to the limiting part 21 through studs. The thicknesses of the respective limiting pieces can be the same or different to provide more thickness combinations.

[0071] The limiting protrusion 24 and the limiting part 21 can be bonded. Further, an adhesion layer can be provided on the side of the limiting protrusion 24 for abutting against the connecting wire 200, which can bond the connecting wire 200 to make the connecting wire 200 firmly fixed. Among them, the limiting protrusion 24 can adopt an existing hard film.

[0072] The thickness of the limiting protrusion 24 is adjustable. It can also be that the limiting protrusion 24 is an elastic pad. When the connecting wire 200 abuts against the limiting protrusion 24, the limiting protrusion 24 will be squeezed and deformed, so that the thickness of the limiting protrusion 24 adapts to the connecting wire 200.

[0073] In some embodiments, the moving path of the locking rod 32 is a straight line. In some embodiments, the moving path of the locking rod 32 is a curve. In this embodiment, the moving path of the locking rod 32 is an arc. By rotating the locking rod 32, the locking rod 32 locks or releases the limiting part 21. When the locking rod 32 is in the locking position, the limiting part 21 and the mounting plate 11 are locked. When the locking rod 32 is in the release position, the limiting part 21 can rotate relative to the mounting plate 11.

[0074] The rotating end of the locking column 31 can be arranged on the limiting part 21 or on the mounting plate 11. In this embodiment, one end of the locking rod 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11. Specifically, a through hole is provided at one end of the locking rod 32, a threaded hole is provided on the mounting plate 11, a bolt is passed through the through hole, and one end of the bolt is connected to the threaded hole. The locking rod 32 can rotate around the bolt. The bolt not only acts as an axis but also is convenient for fixing to the mounting plate 11.

[0075] The locking rod 32 can lock the limiting part 21, which can be to press against the outer surface of the limiting part 21. Specifically, the outer surface of the limiting part 21 is an inclined surface. As the locking rod 32 rotates from the release position to the locking position, the locking rod 32 and the limiting part 21 are gradually pressed tightly.

[0076] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 30 further includes a locking column 31. When the locking rod 32 is in the locking position, the locking rod 32 is locked with the locking column 31. Among them, the locking method between the locking rod 32 and the locking column 31 can be snap connection, interference connection or magnetic attraction connection. The locking column 31 can play a role in limiting the locking rod 32 to prevent the locking rod 32 from rotating excessively.

[0077] In some embodiments, a clamping groove is provided on the locking post 31, and the locking rod 32 can be clamped with the clamping groove. In some embodiments, a clamping groove is provided on the locking post 31, and the locking rod 32 can be in interference connection with the clamping groove. During the process of rotating the locking rod 32, an external force needs to be applied to the locking rod 32 to make the locking rod 32 engage with or disengage from the clamping groove on the locking post 31, so that the locking rod 32 will not randomly disengage from the locking position.

[0078] In this embodiment, the locking post 31 is arranged on the limiting part 21, one end of the locking rod 32 is movably connected to the mounting plate 11, and the other end of the locking rod 32 can be locked with the locking post 31. In other embodiments, the locking post 31 is arranged on the mounting plate 11, one end of the locking rod 32 is movably connected to the limiting part 21, and the other end of the locking rod 32 can be locked with the locking post 31.

[0079] The electrical component 100 is arranged on the front surface of the mounting plate 11. The locking rod 32 can be arranged on the front surface of the mounting plate 11 or on the back surface of the mounting plate 11. In this embodiment, the locking rod 32 is arranged on the back surface of the mounting plate 11, and the locking post 31 is arranged on the back surface of the limiting part 21. When the limiting part 21 is in the closed position, the back surface of the mounting plate 11 is flush with the back surface of the limiting part 21. By providing a flush surface, when the locking rod 32 is locked with the locking post 31, the limiting part 21 and the mounting plate 11 can be stably fixed, and the shaking of the limiting part 21 can be avoided. Among them, the second plate 213 is arranged on the front surface of the first plate 212, and the back surface of the limiting part 21 is the surface of the first plate 212 away from the second plate 213. If the locking rod 32 is arranged on the front surface of the mounting plate 11, the limiting post is also arranged on the front surface of the limiting part 21, that is, the front surface of the first plate 212.

[0080] Among them, one set or multiple sets of limiting components 20 can be provided to play a role in full locking.

[0081] When the connecting line 200 is a data transmission line, if a data transmission failure occurs, it is necessary to check whether the failure is caused by missing insertion of the corresponding connecting line 200; when the connecting line 200 is a power line, if the functions of the electrical component 100 cannot be started, it is necessary to check whether the failure is caused by missing insertion of the corresponding connecting line 200.

[0082] The wire fixing device further includes a detection component 40. The detection component 40 is arranged on the mounting plate 11 and on one side of the electrical component 100. The detection component 40 is used to detect whether the connecting line 200 is inserted into the electrical component 100. By detecting the connecting line 200, it can assist in troubleshooting, improve the maintenance efficiency, and avoid disassembling the equipment shell to detect the connecting line 200 every time a failure occurs.

[0083] Specifically, the detection component 40 is located on one side of the socket 101 and in the insertion and extraction path of the connection line 200, so it can be used to detect whether the connection line 200 is inserted into the socket 101.

[0084] In this embodiment, the detection component 40 includes a photoelectric sensor. When the limiting part 21 is in the closed position, the photoelectric sensor faces the connection line 200. When the connection line 200 is inserted into the socket 101 of the electrical component 100, the light emitted by the photoelectric sensor irradiates on the connection line 200, causing the light to be reflected or blocked. Then, based on the electrical signal, it can be detected whether the connection line 200 is inserted into the socket 101 of the electrical component 100. A photoelectric sensor is a device that converts a light signal into an electrical signal. Its working principle is based on the photoelectric effect and is an existing sensor, which will not be elaborated here.

[0085] In some embodiments, the photoelectric sensor is a diffuse reflection sensor. Based on the principle of light reflection, it can detect the presence or position of an object. The diffuse reflection sensor includes a light-emitting diode and a photoresistor. The light-emitting diode emits a beam of light that faces the position where the connection line 200 should be. When the connection line 200 is not inserted into the socket 101 of the electrical component 100, the light enters the surrounding environment. When the connection line 200 is inserted into the socket 101 of the electrical component 100, the light irradiates on the connection line 200, and the connection line 200 reflects the light to the photoresistor. The photoresistor receives the light reflected by the connection line 200 and generates a signal. Therefore, it can be determined whether the connection line 200 is inserted into the electrical component 100 according to the electrical signal of the photoelectric sensor.

[0086] In some embodiments, the photoelectric sensor is an opposed sensor. The opposed sensor includes a light-emitting part and a receiving part. The light-emitting part and the receiving part are distributed on both sides of the connection line 200. The light emitted by the light-emitting part faces the position where the connection line 200 should be. When the connection line 200 is not inserted into the socket 101 of the electrical component 100, the light emitted by the light-emitting part directly irradiates on the receiving part, and the receiving part can receive the light. When the connection line 200 is inserted into the socket 101 of the electrical component 100, the light irradiates on the connection line 200, and the connection line 200 blocks the light, so the receiving part cannot receive the light. Therefore, it can be determined whether the connection line 200 is inserted into the socket 101 of the electrical component 100 according to the signal of the photoelectric sensor.

[0087] In some embodiments, the detection component 40 is a grating. The grating extends along the arrangement direction of the sockets 101 and can detect the connection lines 200 in all the sockets 101. The grating includes a light-emitting part and a light-receiving part. The light-emitting part and the light-receiving part are distributed on both sides of the connection line 200. Multiple light rays emitted by the light-emitting part form a light curtain. The position of the light curtain faces all the connection lines 200. When the connection line 200 is not inserted into the socket 101, the light rays emitted by the light-emitting part directly irradiate on the light-receiving part, and the light-receiving part can receive the light rays. When the connection line 200 is inserted into the socket 101, some light rays irradiate on the connection line 200, and the connection line 200 blocks the light rays, so that the light-receiving part cannot receive the light rays at the corresponding position. Therefore, it can be determined whether the connection line 200 is inserted into the socket 101 according to the signal of the photoelectric sensor.

[0088] For multiple wire fixing grooves 211, the detection component 40 can be arranged in some of the wire fixing grooves 211 according to the type of the connection line 200 to be connected, or the detection component 40 can be arranged in each wire fixing groove 211. In some embodiments, one photoelectric sensor is provided corresponding to each socket 101.

[0089] In summary, the wire fixing device has a wiring state and a disassembly state. In the wiring state, one end of the connection line 200 is inserted into the corresponding socket 101 on the electrical component 100, the limiting part 21 is in the closed position, the connection line 200 is inserted into the wire fixing groove 211, the locking rod 32 is in the locking position, and the locking rod 32 locks with the locking column 31. In the disassembly state, the locking rod 32 is in the release position, the locking rod 32 is disengaged from the locking column 31, the limiting part 21 is in the open position, the wire fixing groove 211 is disengaged from the connection line 200, and the connection line 200 can be pulled out from the socket 101 of the electrical component 100.

[0090] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a wire fixing method, which uses the above-mentioned wire fixing device. The wire fixing method includes a wiring process and a disassembly process. The wiring process includes: Step 11, the locking rod 32 is in the release position, and the limiting part 21 is in the open position; Step 12, insert one end of the connection line 200 into the electrical component 100, and rotate the limiting part 21 to the closed position so that the connection line 200 is inserted into the wire fixing groove 211; Step 13, operate the locking rod 32 to move to the locking position so that the locking rod 32 locks the limiting part 21 and the mounting plate 11. The disassembly process includes: Step 21, operate the locking rod 32 to move to the release position so that the locking rod 32 releases the limiting part 21; Step 22, rotate the limiting part 21 to the open position so that the connection line 200 is disengaged from the wire fixing groove 211; Step 23, pull out the connection line 200 from the electrical component 100.

[0091] No need to set a cable tie or adhesive tape, only two steps are needed to rotate the limit part 21 and operate the locking rod 32 to fix the wire. Since the locking rod 32 locks the limit part 21, the position of the limit part 21 is stable and the connecting wire 200 will not loosen. When removing the wire, only two steps are needed to operate the locking rod 32 and rotate the limit part 21 to pull out the connecting wire 200, which is convenient for wiring and removing, saving time and effort.

[0092] In step 12 , one end of the connecting wire 200 is inserted into the corresponding socket 101 on the electrical component 100 ; in step 23 , the connecting wire 200 is pulled out from the socket 101 .

[0093] In step 12, when the limiting portion 21 is rotated to the closed position, the locking rod 32 is locked with the locking column 31; in step 21, when the locking rod 32 is operated to move to the release position, the locking rod 32 is disengaged from the locking column 31.

[0094] The wiring process also includes: step 14, if the detection component 40 feeds back the first information, it is determined that the connection line 200 is inserted in place; otherwise, it is determined that the connection line 200 is not inserted in place. The first information can be displayed as text "the connection line 200 is inserted in place" or the green light is always on; the second information can be "the connection line 200 is not inserted in place" or the red light is always on.

[0095] When a photoelectric sensor is provided corresponding to each socket 101 , the status of each connecting line 200 can be determined according to the information fed back by each photoelectric sensor.
