Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of computer technology, specifically a wire harness management device for industrial computer installation. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial computers are highly reliable computing devices designed specifically for industrial environments. They possess excellent stability and environmental adaptability and are widely used in key areas such as intelligent manufacturing, energy management, and smart transportation.

[0003] Currently, nylon cable ties are commonly used for bundling wire harnesses in industrial computer installations. However, this method has significant technical drawbacks: excessive tightening can easily lead to mechanical damage to the wire harness insulation layer, and silicone wires are more prone to plastic deformation under high-temperature conditions; in long-term working environments, stress concentration at the cable tie fixing points may cause fatigue fracture of the wire core, requiring additional protective sleeves to alleviate friction loss; in addition, traditional cable ties lack electromagnetic shielding, and high-density bundling may exacerbate crosstalk problems in high-frequency signal transmission; and the irreversible fixing characteristics of disposable nylon cable ties mean that wire harness maintenance must be completed through destructive cutting, which will significantly increase maintenance costs in applications requiring frequent wiring changes. Therefore, a wire harness management device for industrial computer installation is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a wire harness management device for industrial computer installation, which solves the problems of existing cable ties easily damaging wire harnesses, causing core breakage in vibration environments, and exacerbating crosstalk in high-frequency signal transmission.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a wire harness management device for industrial computer installation, comprising a support frame, the support frame being bolted to the computer chassis, and further comprising:

[0006] A winding assembly, which is fixedly mounted on the support frame, is used to organize industrial computer wiring harnesses;

[0007] A first fixing component is disposed at one end of the winding component for gathering the wire harness, and the first fixing component is connected to the winding component to fix the wire harness to the winding component;

[0008] A second fixing component is disposed at the other end of the winding component, and the structure of the second fixing component is the same as that of the first fixing component.

[0009] The winding assembly includes a sorting frame, and the outer periphery of the sorting frame is provided with spiral grooves, which can be 2 to 6 grooves depending on the usage requirements;

[0010] Both ends and the outer edge of the spiral groove are rounded.

[0011] Multiple wire harnesses of an industrial computer are wound around the outside of a sorting rack and embedded in spiral grooves in a spiral shape. The multiple wire harnesses are separated by the intervals between the spiral grooves, and then the wire harnesses are fixed to the sorting rack by a first fixing component and a second fixing component installed at both ends of the sorting rack.

[0012] Preferably, the sorting rack has a hollow structure, and the outer ring array of the sorting rack has heat dissipation holes that connect to the interior of the sorting rack.

[0013] The industrial computer is wound into a spiral groove on the outside of the rack, and its contact with the rack is reduced through heat dissipation holes.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the sorting rack is fixedly equipped with a ring array of heat dissipation fins, and the heat dissipation fins are embedded in the inner wall of the sorting rack;

[0015] The heat dissipation fins have heat dissipation slots on their outer surface, and a temperature sensor is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the heat dissipation fins. The temperature sensor is connected to the control system via a connecting wire.

[0016] Preferably, the temperature sensor is equipped with connecting tubes at both the top and bottom, and the connecting wire passes through the top connecting tube and connects to the control system;

[0017] The sorting rack and connecting pipe are mounted on the support frame via the connecting frame.

[0018] Preferably, the connecting pipe is fitted with a gathering docking cover, the outer wall of the end of the sorting rack is provided with a first L-shaped limiting groove, and the inner wall of the gathering docking cover is fixedly fitted with a first locking block.

[0019] Preferably, the inner diameter of the gathering docking cover gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the lower inner diameter of the gathering docking cover is larger than the outer diameter of the sorting rack.

[0020] The convergence docking cover slides along the first L-limiting slot via the first locking block. Rotating the convergence docking cover causes the first locking block to be located at the lateral end of the first L-limiting slot, so that the convergence docking cover is fixedly sleeved on the end of the sorting frame, and the industrial computer is clamped to the outside of the sorting frame.

[0021] Preferably, a second L-limiting groove is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the gathering docking cover, and a retainer is sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe. The retainer slides in the second L-limiting groove through a second locking block.

[0022] Preferably, when the retainer is engaged with the upper end of the convergence docking cover, an elliptical limiting groove is formed between the retainer and the convergence docking cover;

[0023] The retainer moves upward along the connecting tube, and the industrial computer cable harness can be wound around the outside of the sorting frame after passing through the gathering dock cover. Then, the retainer is locked inside the gathering dock cover to support the cable harness.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] This invention winds multiple wire harnesses around the outside of a storage rack along spiral grooves, creating a spiral shape. The spacing between the spiral grooves separates the wire harnesses, preventing crosstalk in high-frequency signal transmission caused by high-density bundling. Winding the wire harnesses into the spiral grooves also prevents mechanical damage to the wire harness insulation due to over-tightening and avoids fatigue fracture of the wire core caused by stress concentration at the cable tie fixing points in long-term vibration environments. Simultaneously, the spiral groove design prevents bending of the industrial computer wire harnesses, and the length of the spiral grooves increases according to the length of the wire harnesses, allowing for the storage of excess wire harnesses, resulting in a neater interior for the industrial computer and reducing operational malfunctions.

[0026] This invention winds industrial computer wiring harnesses into spiral grooves on the outside of a rack. The heat generated by the wiring harnesses is conducted to heat dissipation fins through the rack. As the surface temperature of the heat dissipation fins continues to rise, the heat is transferred to the air molecules in contact with them, causing the air temperature to rise. According to the ideal gas law, air expands in volume and decreases in density when heated, thus generating buoyancy. The warmer air with lower density rises, while the surrounding cooler air sinks to fill the gap, forming a circulating airflow. This achieves heat dissipation for the rack and wiring harnesses, avoiding overheating that could affect computer operation.

[0027] This invention allows industrial computer cable harnesses to be wound along the spiral groove on the outside of the sorting frame by pulling the gathering dock cover upwards to disengage it from the top of the sorting frame, and then pulling the retainer upwards to disengage it from the gathering dock cover. After winding, the gathering dock cover moves downwards and moves along the first L-limiting groove via the first locking block, engaging with the lateral end of the first L-limiting groove. This fixes the computer cable harness to the sorting frame. The cable harness at the lower end of the sorting frame is then fixed by the second fixing component. The retainer slides along the second L-limiting groove via the second locking block and engages with the upper end of the gathering dock cover. The retainer separates multiple cable harnesses, preventing them from being densely bundled together. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a wire harness management device for industrial computer installation, including a support frame 1, which is bolted to the computer chassis, and further comprising:

[0039] Winding assembly 3, which is fixed on support frame 1, is used to organize industrial computer wire harnesses;

[0040] The first fixing component 2 is disposed at one end of the winding component 3 and is used to gather the wire harness. The first fixing component 2 is connected to the winding component 3 to fix the wire harness on the winding component 3.

[0041] The second fixing component 4 is disposed at the other end of the winding component 3, and the structure of the second fixing component 4 is the same as that of the first fixing component 2.

[0042] The winding assembly 3 includes a sorting frame 36, and a spiral groove 38 is provided around the outside of the sorting frame 36. The spiral groove 38 can be 2 to 6 grooves depending on the usage requirements.

[0043] Both ends and the outer edge of the spiral groove 38 are rounded.

[0044] Multiple wire harnesses of an industrial computer are wound around the outside of a sorting rack 36 and embedded in a spiral groove 38 in a spiral shape. The multiple wire harnesses are separated by the intervals between the multiple spiral grooves 38, and then the wire harnesses are fixed to the sorting rack 36 by the first fixing component 2 and the second fixing component 4 installed at both ends of the sorting rack 36.

[0045] During the installation of the industrial computer, multiple wire harnesses are wound around the outside of the organizing rack 36 and along the spiral grooves 38, making the wire harnesses spiral. The intervals between the multiple spiral grooves 38 separate the multiple wire harnesses, avoiding the problem of crosstalk in high-frequency signal transmission caused by high-density bundling of the wire harnesses. Wrapping the wire harnesses inside the spiral grooves 38 avoids mechanical damage to the wire harness insulation caused by excessive tightening and the problem of fatigue fracture of the wire core caused by stress concentration at the cable tie fixing points in long-term vibration environment.

[0046] Meanwhile, the spiral groove 38 design can prevent bending of industrial computer wiring harnesses. The length of the spiral groove 38 can be increased according to the length of the wiring harness to accommodate excess wiring harnesses, making the industrial computer chassis tidier and reducing the risk of industrial computer malfunctions.

[0047] like Figures 2-7 As shown, the sorting rack 36 has a hollow structure, and the outer ring array of the sorting rack 36 has heat dissipation holes 37, which are connected to the interior of the sorting rack 36 through the heat dissipation holes 37.

[0048] The industrial computer is wound into the spiral groove 38 on the outside of the organizing rack 36, and the contact with the organizing rack 36 is reduced through the heat dissipation hole 37.

[0049] The wiring harness installed in the industrial computer is wound around the spiral groove 38 on the outside of the organizer 36. The heat dissipation holes 37 reduce the contact area between the wiring harness and the organizer 36, thus avoiding overheating. The heat dissipation holes 37 can improve the ventilation effect of the wiring harness and ensure the operation of the industrial computer. At the same time, the organizer 36 increases the diameter of the wiring harness winding for the hollow equipment, thereby improving its heat dissipation effect.

[0050] like Figures 3-5 As shown, heat dissipation fins 33 are fixedly mounted in a ring array on the inner wall of the sorting rack 36, and the heat dissipation fins 33 are embedded in the inner wall of the sorting rack 36.

[0051] The heat dissipation fins 33 have heat dissipation slots 34 on their outer side, and a temperature sensor 35 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the heat dissipation fins 33. The temperature sensor 35 is connected to the control system via a connecting wire 39.

[0052] The temperature sensor 35 has connecting tubes 32 installed at both the top and bottom, and the connecting wire 39 passes through the connecting tube 32 at the top and connects to the control system.

[0053] The sorting rack 36 and the connecting pipe 32 are installed on the support frame 1 through the connecting frame 31.

[0054] The industrial computer cable harness is wound into the spiral groove 38 on the outside of the organizer 36. The heat generated by the cable harness is conducted to the heat dissipation fins 33 through the organizer 36. As the surface temperature of the heat dissipation fins 33 continues to rise, the heat is transferred to the air molecules in contact with it, causing the air temperature to rise. According to the ideal gas law, the air expands in volume and decreases in density when heated, thus generating buoyancy. The warmer air with lower density will rise, while the surrounding cooler air will sink to fill the gap, forming a circulating airflow. This achieves heat dissipation for the organizer 36 and the cable harness, avoiding overheating that could affect the operation of the computer.

[0055] The temperature sensor 35 monitors the temperature of the sorting rack 36 and the heat sink 33 in real time and transmits the data to the control system. If the temperature is higher than the set temperature, the control system controls the computer to shut down the running program to avoid computer overload and damage to components.

[0056] like Figures 5-8 As shown, a gathering docking cover 21 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe 32, a first L-limiting slot 25 is opened on the outer wall of the end of the sorting rack 36, and a first locking block 27 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the gathering docking cover 21.

[0057] The inner diameter of the gathering docking cover 21 gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the lower inner diameter of the gathering docking cover 21 is larger than the outer diameter of the sorting rack 36.

[0058] The convergence docking cover 21 slides along the first L-limiting slot 25 via the first locking block 27. The convergence docking cover 21 is rotated so that the first locking block 27 is located at the lateral end of the first L-limiting slot 25, so that the convergence docking cover 21 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the sorting rack 36, and the industrial computer is clamped to the outside of the sorting rack 36.

[0059] The upper end of the inner wall of the gathering docking cover 21 is provided with a second L-limiting slot 211, and a retainer 212 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe 32. The retainer 212 slides in the second L-limiting slot 211 through the second locking block 213.

[0060] When the retainer 212 is engaged with the upper end of the convergence and docking cover 21, an elliptical limiting groove is formed between the retainer 212 and the convergence and docking cover 21.

[0061] The retainer 212 moves upward along the connecting tube 32, and the industrial computer cable harness can be wound around the outside of the sorting frame 36 after passing through the gathering dock cover 21. Then the retainer 212 is locked inside the gathering dock cover 21 to support the cable harness.

[0062] By pulling the gathering docking cover 21 upward to disengage from the top of the sorting rack 36, and then pulling the retainer 212 upward to move it away from the gathering docking cover 21, the industrial computer cable harness can be passed through the gathering docking cover 21 and wound along the spiral groove 38 on the outside of the sorting rack 36. After the winding is completed, the gathering docking cover 21 moves downward through the first locking block 27 along the first L limiting slot 25 and engages with the lateral end of the first L limiting slot 25. The computer cable harness can be fixed to the sorting rack 36 by the gathering docking cover 21, and the cable harness at the lower end of the sorting rack 36 can be fixed by the second fixing component 4.

[0063] After the wire harness is fixed, the retainer 212 slides along the second L-limiting groove 211 and engages with the upper end of the gathering docking cover 21 via the second locking block 213. The retainer 212 separates multiple wire harnesses and avoids the phenomenon of dense binding of wire harnesses.

[0064] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0065] By pulling the gathering docking cover 21 upward to disengage from the top of the sorting rack 36, and then pulling the retainer 212 upward to move it away from the gathering docking cover 21, the industrial computer cable harness can be passed through the gathering docking cover 21 and wound along the spiral groove 38 on the outside of the sorting rack 36. After the winding is completed, the gathering docking cover 21 moves downward through the first locking block 27 along the first L limiting slot 25 and engages with the lateral end of the first L limiting slot 25. The computer cable harness can be fixed to the sorting rack 36 by the gathering docking cover 21, and the cable harness at the lower end of the sorting rack 36 can be fixed by the second fixing component 4.

[0066] After the wire harness is fixed, the retainer 212 slides along the second L-limiting slot 211 and engages with the upper end of the gathering docking cover 21 via the second locking block 213. The retainer 212 separates multiple wire harnesses to avoid the phenomenon of dense binding of wire harnesses.

[0067] During the installation of the industrial computer, multiple wire harnesses are wound around the outside of the organizing rack 36 and along the spiral groove 38, making the wire harnesses spiral. The intervals between the multiple spiral grooves 38 separate the multiple wire harnesses, avoiding the problem of crosstalk in high-frequency signal transmission caused by high-density bundling of the wire harnesses. Wrapping the wire harnesses inside the spiral grooves 38 avoids the problem of mechanical damage to the wire harness insulation caused by excessive tightening of the wire harnesses and the problem of fatigue fracture of the wire core caused by stress concentration at the cable tie fixing points in long-term vibration environment.

[0068] Meanwhile, the spiral groove 38 design can prevent industrial computer wiring harnesses from bending. The length of the spiral groove 38 can be increased according to the length of the wiring harness to accommodate excess wiring harnesses, making the industrial computer chassis tidier and reducing industrial computer malfunctions.

[0069] The heat dissipation holes 37 reduce the contact area between the wire harness and the organizer 36, thus preventing overheating. The heat dissipation holes 37 also improve the ventilation of the wire harness, ensuring the operation of the industrial computer. At the same time, the organizer 36 increases the diameter of the wire harness winding in the hollow equipment, improving its heat dissipation effect.

[0070] The industrial computer cable harness is wound into the spiral groove 38 on the outside of the organizer 36. The heat generated by the cable harness is conducted to the heat dissipation fins 33 through the organizer 36. As the surface temperature of the heat dissipation fins 33 continues to rise, the heat is transferred to the air molecules in contact with it, causing the air temperature to rise. According to the ideal gas law, the air expands in volume and decreases in density when heated, thus generating buoyancy. The warmer air with lower density will rise, while the surrounding cooler air will sink to fill the gap, forming a circulating airflow to dissipate heat from the organizer 36 and the cable harness, avoiding overheating that could affect the operation of the computer.

[0071] The temperature sensor 35 monitors the temperature of the organizing rack 36 and the heat sink 33 in real time and transmits the data to the computer. If the temperature exceeds the set temperature, the computer shuts down the running program to avoid computer overload and damage to components.
