Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cable management technology, and in particular relates to a cable management block for a magnetic optical platform. Background Technology
[0002] In optical laboratories, numerous electronic devices are often involved, and the distribution and securing of their cables on optical platforms directly impacts the laboratory's safety and tidiness. Therefore, cables need to be confined in specific locations to prevent damage or injury caused by accidental pulling or dragging. However, existing cable management devices are designed for wall mounting, and their securing methods, such as adhesive bonding or expansion screws, can damage the optical platform, making them unsuitable for use on optical platforms. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a cable organizing block for a magnetic optical platform, which solves the problem that cable organizing components in the prior art are not suitable for use on optical platforms.
[0004] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention provides a cable organizing and pressing block for a magnetic optical platform, comprising a limiting part and a fixing part fixed together. The limiting part is provided with a cable groove, and the opening of the cable groove is used to fit against the optical platform so that a limiting space is formed between the limiting part and the optical platform within the cable groove. The limiting space is used to place a cable. The fixing part has a through hole for a screw to pass through. The screw is threaded onto the optical platform to fix the fixing part to the optical platform. The lower side of the fixing part is provided with a magnet for magnetically attracting the optical platform.
[0005] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cable groove has a first slot on the lower side of the limiting part, the cable groove has a second slot on the front side of the limiting part, and the cable groove has a third slot on the rear side of the limiting part. The first slot is used to face the optical platform so that the limiting space is formed in the cable groove. The fixing part is located on the left or right side of the limiting part.
[0006] In some embodiments of the present invention, the through hole is a waist-shaped hole.
[0007] In some embodiments of the present invention, a flexible buffer layer is provided on the wall of the cable trough.
[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, the flexible buffer layer material is rubber, polyurethane, sponge, or silicone.
[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lower side of the fixing part is provided with a mounting groove, and the magnet is fixed in the mounting groove.
[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, the magnet is fixed in the mounting slot by screws.
[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, the magnet is a neodymium iron boron magnet.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting part and the fixing part are both made of aluminum alloy.
[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting part and the fixing part are integrally formed.
[0014] As described above, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The cable organizing block's fixing part integrates two methods: magnetic attraction and screw thread fixing. The magnetic attraction method can quickly and temporarily fix the cable organizing block on the optical platform, meeting the need for temporary adjustment of cable routing during optical platform experiments. The screw fixing method can achieve long-term stable fixing, meeting the need for cable neatness during long-term experiments. Both fixing methods are compatible with the optical platform and will not damage the platform. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a cable organizing block for a magnetic optical platform, comprising a limiting part 1 and a fixing part 2 fixed together. The limiting part 1 is used to restrict the cable, and the fixing part 2 is used to fit against and fix to the optical platform, thereby fixing the cable organizing block on the optical platform. The limiting part 1 is provided with a cable groove 11, the opening of which is used to fit against the optical platform, so that a limiting space is formed between the limiting part 1 and the optical platform within the cable groove 11. The limiting space is used to place the cable, so that the movement area of the cable is within the limiting space.
[0020] The fixing part 2 has a through hole 21 for a screw to pass through. The screw is threaded onto the optical platform to fix the fixing part 2 to the optical platform. A magnet 22 is provided on the lower side of the fixing part 2 for magnetically attracting the optical platform. When it is necessary to temporarily restrict the cable position, the magnet 22 can be used to magnetically attract the optical platform to meet the need for temporary cable routing adjustments during experiments. When it is necessary to restrict the cable for a long time, the screw can be threaded through the through hole 21 and connected to the optical platform, thus achieving long-term stable fixation and meeting the need for cable neatness during long-term experiments. Both fixing methods are compatible with the optical platform and will not damage it.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cable groove 11 has a first slot 111 on the lower side of the limiting part 1, a second slot 112 on the front side of the limiting part 1, and a third slot 113 on the rear side of the limiting part 1. The first slot 111 faces the optical platform, so that the aforementioned limiting space is formed within the cable groove 11. When the cable organizing block restricts the cable, the cable extends simultaneously from both the second slot 112 and the third slot 113. The cable can be pulled back and forth within the limiting space, but this restricts the cable to being pulled only within the limiting space. This method confines the cable within the limiting space, preventing it from shifting or being dragged arbitrarily on the optical platform, while allowing for free adjustment of its length through the second slot 112 and the third slot 113, thus meeting the operational needs of frequently adjusting the cable's direction and length in optical experiments.
[0022] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing part 2 is located on the left side of the limiting part 1.
[0023] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the fixing part 2 is located on the right side of the limiting part 1.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the through hole 21 is an oblong hole. This oblong hole allows the screw to slide within a small range along its length, and the relative position between the cable management block and the optical platform can be finely adjusted during installation, increasing the flexibility of the cable management block.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a flexible buffer layer 3 is provided on the wall of the cable trough 11. When the diameter of the cable is large, the contact between the wall of the cable trough 11 and the surface of the cable can easily cause wear and cracking of the cable sheath, and even affect the safety of the internal conductors. The flexible buffer layer 3 has good elasticity and deformation capacity, and can flexibly fit with the surface of the cable, disperse the squeezing force of the trough wall on the cable, effectively prevent the cable from being crushed, and at the same time reduce the friction loss between the cable and the trough wall, extending the service life of the cable. At the same time, because the flexible buffer layer 3 is added in the cable trough 11, the limiting space is reduced. When the cable organizing block fixes the cable, it will press the cable tightly within the limiting space. The elasticity of the flexible buffer layer 3 can increase the contact friction between the cable and the wall of the cable trough 11, further enhancing the fixing effect of the cable. Even if it is touched by a slight external force, it is not easy to displace, that is, the cable cannot be pulled out within the limiting space.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present invention, the flexible buffer layer 3 is made of materials such as rubber, polyurethane, sponge, or silicone.
[0027] In some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting groove is provided on the lower side of the fixing part 2, and the magnet 22 is fixed in the mounting groove. The lower side of the fixing part 2 is in contact with the optical platform. Installing the magnet 22 in the mounting groove on the lower side minimizes the contact distance between the magnet 22 and the optical platform, maximizes the magnetic attraction force of the magnet 22, and avoids problems such as insufficient magnetic attraction force and easy displacement of the cable management clamp due to the protrusion of the magnet 22 mounting position. This allows for better magnetic attraction of the optical platform. At the same time, the magnet 22 is arranged in the mounting groove so that the surface of the magnet 22 is flush with the lower side of the fixing part 2, ensuring the flatness when the fixing part 2 is attached to the optical platform and avoiding damage to the precision surface of the optical platform.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the magnet 22 is fixed in the mounting groove by the screw 23, which can prevent the magnet 22 from falling off or shifting when it is repeatedly installed, disassembled or subjected to slight external force, and ensure that the cable organizing block can be stably adsorbed on the optical platform when temporarily fixed, thus ensuring the reliability of the cable limit.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present invention, magnet 22 is a neodymium iron boron magnet. Neodymium iron boron magnets have strong magnetic force and can better temporarily fix the cable management block.
[0030] In some embodiments of the present invention, both the limiting part 1 and the fixing part 2 are made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is lightweight and will not impose excessive additional weight on the optical platform. Aluminum alloy has excellent machinability and is easy to process.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting part 1 and the fixing part 2 are integrally formed. This integral forming eliminates the connection gaps and assembly errors of split structures, resulting in stronger overall structural integrity. It can withstand repeated installation, disassembly, and external force impacts, and is less prone to breakage or deformation, thus extending the service life of the cable management block. The cable management block is manufactured by milling. To ensure aesthetics, the surface is sandblasted and then anodized to red after processing. Sandblasting creates a uniformly rough microstructure on the aluminum alloy surface, and the subsequent anodizing process generates a dense oxide film on the surface, effectively improving the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the cable management block. Even with long-term use in a laboratory environment, it is not prone to scratches or rust, maintaining structural integrity. After anodizing to red, the cable management block has a striking appearance and is more easily identifiable.
[0032] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
