[0021] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present invention and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.
[0022] Example: like Figure 1 、 3 As shown in Figure 4, the present invention provides a cable management device for a computer room, comprising a plurality of management units arranged in parallel, the management unit comprising a shell 1, a liftable cover 4 being provided on the shell 1, a rotatable mounting shaft 9 being provided on the shell 1, two groups of oppositely arranged winding racks 10 being provided on the mounting shaft 9, and a winding half-wheel 17 being provided on the winding rack 10 which is slidable and rotatable along the axis of the mounting shaft 9, and each two groups of winding half-wheels 17 cooperate to form a rod body for receiving the cables.
[0023] In the initial state, the multiple groups of winding half-wheels 17 are closed, arranged in pairs. Cables can be attached to the mounting shaft 9. The mounting shaft 9 is then rotated to drive the rod formed by the multiple groups of winding half-wheels 17 in a circular motion, thereby reeling the cables. The winding frame 10 can be reversed and the closed winding half-wheels 17 can be opened to remove the cables. A baffle 18 is provided on the side of the winding half-wheels 17 facing away from the adjacent group of winding half-wheels 17 to effectively prevent the cables from escaping from the winding half-wheels 17 during and after reeling.
[0024] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover body 4 is provided with a driving mechanism connected to multiple groups of winding half wheels 17. The driving mechanism converts the lifting of the cover body 4 into driving the opening and closing of the two groups of winding half wheels 17 abutting each other. The driving mechanism includes a first connecting shaft 13 that is slidable along its axis and passes through the mounting shaft 9. Two groups of connecting components are provided on the first connecting shaft 13. Each group of connecting components is connected to the multiple groups of winding half wheels 17 on one group of winding frames 10, so as to convert the sliding of the first connecting shaft 13 into driving the synchronous sliding of the multiple groups of winding half wheels 17. The connecting component includes a second connecting shaft 19 that is rotatable and slidable along its axis and passes through the winding frame 10. One end of the second connecting shaft 19 is connected to the winding half wheels 17, and the other end is provided with a first connecting wheel 20. A driving plate 16 is provided on the first connecting shaft 13, and multiple groups of first connecting wheels 20 are rotatably provided on the driving plate 16.
[0025] The driving plate 16 can be driven to slide by controlling the sliding of the first connecting shaft 13, and then the multiple groups of winding half wheels 17 on the single group of winding racks 10 can be controlled to slide simultaneously through the cooperation of the driving plate 16 and the first connecting wheel 20, so as to conveniently and quickly control the opening of the multiple groups of winding half wheels 17 and facilitate the connection of the cables to the mounting shaft 9.
[0026] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning sleeve 2 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1, and a positioning rod 5 is provided on the cover 4. The positioning rod 5 is slidably inserted into the positioning sleeve 2 along its axis. The driving mechanism also includes a linkage assembly provided on the cover 4 and connected to the first connecting shaft 13. The linkage assembly can convert the lifting of the cover 4 into driving the sliding of the first connecting shaft 13. The linkage assembly includes a driving frame 21 slidably provided on one side of the housing 1 along a direction perpendicular to the side of the housing 1. The first connecting shaft 13 is provided with a second connecting wheel 14, which is clamped on the driving frame 21. The driving frame 21 is provided with a guide seat 22, and the guide seat 22 is provided with an inclined groove 23. The two ends of the inclined groove 23 are respectively connected to a first straight groove 24 and a second straight groove 25. The positioning rod 5 is provided with a driving column 6. The driving column 6 passes through the positioning sleeve 2 and is slidably clamped in the first straight groove 24. The length of the first straight groove 24 is greater than that of the second straight groove 25.
[0027] When the cover 4 is pulled upward, the drive post 6 first slides within the first straight slot 24. At this time, the movement of the drive frame 21 is not controlled. When the drive post 6 slides into the inclined slot 23, the inclined slot 23 drives the drive frame 21 to slide as a whole in a direction perpendicular to the side of the housing 1, thereby driving the drive plate 16 to slide, so that the multiple sets of winding half wheels 17 are opened until the drive post 6 slides into the second straight slot 25. A shielding shell 3 is provided on one side of the housing 1, and a first elastic member 15 is provided between the drive frame 21 and the shielding shell. When the drive post 6 slides into the second straight slot 25, the first elastic member 15 is compressed, and the first elastic member 15 applies a force toward the side of the housing 1 to the drive frame 21, thereby increasing the friction between the drive post 6 and the second straight slot 25, thereby easily fixing the cover 4 and freeing both hands to insert the cable.
[0028] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the cover body 4 is provided with a winding mechanism connected to the mounting shaft 9. The winding mechanism converts the lifting of the cover body 4 into driving the mounting shaft 9 in forward and reverse directions. The winding mechanism includes a one-way drive assembly provided on the cover body 4 and connected to the mounting shaft 9 when the cover body 4 is raised. The one-way drive assembly converts the lifting of the cover body 4 into driving the mounting shaft 9 to rotate in one direction. The one-way drive assembly includes a ratchet 12 provided on the mounting shaft 9. A ratchet bar 7 is provided on one side of the cover body 4 so as to slide laterally. The ratchet bar 7 engages with the ratchet 12 after rising. A second elastic member 8 is provided between the ratchet bar 7 and the cover body 4. The mounting shaft 9 is provided with a reset assembly connected to the housing 1. The reset assembly drives the mounting shaft 9 to rotate and reset when the mounting shaft 9 is disengaged from the one-way drive assembly. The reset assembly includes a coil spring 11, which is sleeved on the mounting shaft 9, with one end of the coil spring 11 fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 9 and the other end of the coil spring 11 fixedly connected to the housing 1.
[0029] When the cable is connected to the mounting shaft 9, the cable is reeled in and the cable is reeled in. When the cable is reeled in and the cable is reeled in, the cable is reeled in and the cable is reeled in. The cable is then reeled in and the cable is reeled in.
[0030] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the present invention: When the cable is in use, the cover body 4 can be pulled upward to rise. During the rising process of the cover body 4, the installation shaft 9 can be controlled by the reeling mechanism to reverse, so that the reeling frame 10 is reversed and reset, and then the organized cable passes through the bottom space of the cover body 4 and is connected to the equipment. In the process of rising, the cover body 4 can also be controlled by the driving mechanism to open the two sets of reeling half wheels 17 abutting each other, and the cable is overlapped on the installation shaft 9 through the gap between the two sets of reeling half wheels 17, and then the cover body 4 is moved downward. After the cover body 4 moves downward, the reeling half wheels 17 can be controlled by the driving mechanism to close to form a complete rod body. At the same time, the installation shaft 9 is controlled to rotate by the reeling mechanism, so that multiple groups of rods can reel in the cables. The device can be used to manage the cables in the machine room. The cable reeling work can be automatically completed during the cable placement process, avoiding the cables from being scattered and affecting subsequent use. At the same time, the operation is convenient and fast, which effectively improves the efficiency of cable management and reduces the labor intensity of the staff.
