[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 . Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the cable management module 100 in one embodiment of this application is shown, wherein the sliding cover 130 is located at the first position P1. Figure 2 It is illustrated Figure 1 An exploded view of the cable management module 100. In this embodiment, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cable management module 100 is suitable for accommodating at least one cable 200, and includes a base 110, a cable management bracket 120, a sliding cover 130, a locking element 140, and a resilient element 150. The cable management bracket 120 is connected to the base 110 and includes a plurality of slots GR arranged along a direction D, at least one of which is configured to accommodate at least one cable 200. The sliding cover 130 is slidably connected to the cable management bracket 120 along the direction D. The resilient element 150 is elastic in the direction D. Figure 1 As shown, the sliding cover 130 is in the first position P1.
[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the cable management bracket 120 includes two side walls 121 and a top plate 122. Each of the side walls 121 includes an opposing upper edge 1211 and a lower edge 1212, and each side wall 121 includes a plurality of first recessed portions R1, each of which is recessed from the upper edge 1211. The upper edge 1211 of the side wall 121 is connected to the top plate 122, and the top plate 122 is connected between the two side walls 121. Furthermore, the top plate 122 includes a plurality of first hollow portions H1, each of which is aligned with and connected to the corresponding first recessed portion R1 to jointly define a slot GR.
[0061] On the other hand, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sliding cover 130 includes two limiting portions 131, a cover portion 132, and a plurality of connecting portions 133. The two limiting portions 131 extend along direction D. The cover portion 132 includes a plurality of second hollow portions H2. The plurality of connecting portions 133 are respectively connected between the cover portion 132 and one of the two limiting portions 131. Two adjacent connecting portions 133 together define a second clearance portion R2, and the second clearance portion R2 is aligned with and connects to the corresponding one of the plurality of second hollow portions H2.
[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cover portion 132 further includes a plurality of sub-cover portions 1321. The plurality of sub-cover portions 1321 are arranged along direction D and are respectively adjacent to at least one of the plurality of second hollow portions H2. Further, each of the plurality of connecting portions 133 includes a first sub-connecting portion 1331 and a second sub-connecting portion 1332. The first sub-connecting portion 1331 extends at least partially along direction D and connects to one of the plurality of sub-cover portions 1321, and the second sub-connecting portion 1332 connects the first sub-connecting portion 1331 and one of the two limiting portions 131. The first sub-connecting portion 1331 and the second sub-connecting portion 1332 are, for example, L-shaped, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0063] When the sliding cover 130 is in the first position P1, as Figure 1 As shown, the second clearance portion R2 of the sliding cover 130 is at least partially aligned with the slot GR of the cable management bracket 120, and the cable 200 is located in the slot GR and is restricted by the connecting portion 133 of the sliding cover 130 and the side wall 121 of the cable management bracket 120.
[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the top plate 122 includes opposing first ends 122a and second ends 122b, which are arranged along direction D. The cover portion 132 includes opposing third ends 132a and fourth ends 132b, which are also arranged along direction D. The base 110 includes a first sub-base 111, a second sub-base 112, and a base frame 113. The first sub-base 111 connects the second end 122b of the top plate 122 to the side walls 121. The second sub-base 112 connects the first end 122a of the top plate 122 to the side walls 121. The base frame 113 extends along direction D and connects between the first sub-base 111 and the second sub-base 112. In practical applications, the base 110 is configured to be installed within an electronic device (not shown), such as a server, but the invention is not limited thereto.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 . Figure 3 It is illustrated Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the cable management module 100 at line segment AA. For simplicity, cable 200 is not shown. Figure 3 In this embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, the cable management bracket 120 has a first cross-section A1, and the sliding cover 130 has a second cross-section A2. The first cross-section A1 and the second cross-section A2 are respectively perpendicular to direction D and at least partially U-shaped. The sliding cover 130 at least partially covers the cable management bracket 120. Furthermore, the two side walls 121 are at least partially located between the two limiting portions 131, and the two limiting portions 131 are slidably connected to one of the corresponding side walls 121.
[0066] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the sliding cover 130 also includes two sliding grooves 134. The two sliding grooves 134 are respectively disposed on the side of one of the two limiting portions 131 away from the cover portion 132 and are in the shape of barbs, and the lower edge 1212 of the side wall 121 is at least partially located in the corresponding sliding groove 134, thus effectively preventing the sliding cover 130 from being pushed up by the cable 200 relative to the cable management bracket 120.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 4 . Figure 4 It is illustrated Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the cable management module 100 is shown, in which the sliding cover 130 is located at the second position P2. In this embodiment, the sliding cover 130 is configured to slide relative to the cable management bracket 120 along direction D between the first position P1 and the second position P2. Figure 4As shown, the sliding cover 130 slides relative to the cable management bracket 120 to a second position P2. When the sliding cover 130 is in the second position P2, the second cutout H2 of the sliding cover 130 is at least partially aligned with the first cutout H1 of the cable management bracket 120, that is, the sliding cover 130 at least partially exposes the plurality of slots GR of the cable management bracket 120. In this case, the user can place the cable 200 in the slot GR or remove the cable 200 from the slot GR. Conversely, when the sliding cover 130 is in the first position P1, as... Figure 1 As shown, the second cutout H2 of the sliding cover 130 is offset from the first cutout H1 of the cable management bracket 120, meaning that the sliding cover 130 at least partially covers the plurality of slots GR of the cable management bracket 120. In this case, the cable 200 is confined within the slots GR by the sliding cover 130. This allows the cable management module 100 to neatly arrange the cable 200 within the electronic device, and the process of placing or removing the cable 200 from the slots GR is simple and easy, without involving the use of other tools, thus providing convenience for the user.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 5 . Figure 5 It is illustrated Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of the cable management module 100 at line segment BB. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the cover 132 includes at least one opening OP, which is located at the third end 132a. Figure 5 As shown, the locking element 140 is disposed at the first end 122a of the top plate 122. More specifically, the locking element 140 includes a fixing part 141, a pressing part 142, a spring arm 143, and at least one locking part 144. The fixing part 141 is connected to the first end 122a of the top plate 122. The spring arm 143 is connected between the fixing part 141 and the pressing part 142. The locking part 144 is disposed on the spring arm 143 and configured to at least partially engage with the opening OP of the cover 132 when the sliding cover 130 is in the second position P2, thereby locking the third end 132a of the cover 132, thereby maintaining the sliding cover 130 in the second position P2, so that the sliding cover 130 maintains at least partially exposed to the slot GR of the cable management bracket 120, so that the user can place the cable 200 in the slot GR or remove the cable 200 from the slot GR. Furthermore, the pressing part 142 protrudes from the second sub-base 112 to facilitate the user to press, thereby causing the spring arm 143 to deform elastically and the locking part 144 to disengage from the opening OP of the cover part 132 and no longer be locked in the opening OP.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 . Figure 6 It is illustrated Figure 4A cross-sectional view of the cable management module 100 at line segment CC. Figure 7 It is illustrated Figure 2 A schematic diagram illustrating the function of the elastic element 150 is shown, where the sliding cover 130 is located at the second position P2. In this embodiment, as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the top plate 122 includes a guide groove GD and an inner edge 1221. The inner edge 1221 is located at the second end 122b and defines the guide groove GD, which extends in the direction D. The sliding cover 130 also includes a mounting portion 135, which is disposed at the fourth end 132b and at least partially passes through the guide groove GD of the top plate 122. The elastic element 150 can actually be a spring and connects the mounting portion 135 of the sliding cover 130 to the first sub-base 111 of the base 110. Furthermore, the inner edge 1221 at the end of the guide groove GD and the edge of the first sub-base 111 can provide a stop for the mounting portion 135 to prevent the sliding cover 130 from sliding excessively relative to the cable management bracket 120. In practical applications, such as Figure 7 As shown, the edge of the first sub-base 111 can be recessed to form an additional guide groove GD' to provide guidance and limit for the mounting part 135.
[0070] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sliding cover 130 is in the second position P2 and the elastic element 150 is in an elastically stretched state. In this case, the locking part 144 of the locking element 140 is engaged with the opening OP of the cover 132 to maintain the sliding cover 130 in the second position P2. After the user has placed the cable 200 in the slot GR or removed the cable 200 from the slot GR, the user can easily press the pressing part 142 of the locking element 140 to disengage the locking part 144 of the locking element 140 from the opening OP of the cover 132 and no longer engage with the opening OP. At this time, the elastic element 150 elastically contracts and resets to provide a pulling force on the sliding cover 130, so that the sliding cover 130 slides from the second position P2 to the first position P1. The process is simple and quick.
[0071] In summary, the technical solutions disclosed in the above embodiments of this application have at least the following advantages:
[0072] (1) The cable management module can neatly place the cable inside the electronic device, and the process of placing the cable in the slot or taking the cable out of the slot is simple and easy, without involving the use of other tools, thus bringing convenience to the user.
[0073] (2) The locking element can hold the slide cover in the second position, so that the slide cover maintains at least partial exposure of the slot of the cable management bracket, so that the user can place the cable in the slot or remove the cable from the slot.
[0074] (3) When the user has placed the cable in the slot or taken the cable out of the slot, the user can easily press the pressing part of the locking element to disengage the locking part of the locking element from the opening of the cover and no longer be stuck in the opening. At this time, the elastic element elastically contracts and resets to provide a pulling force to the sliding cover, so that the sliding cover slides from the second position to the first position. The process is simple and quick.
[0075] In one embodiment of this application, the cable management module can be used for artificial intelligence (AI) computing, edge computing, and can also be used on 5G servers, cloud servers, or vehicle networking servers.
[0076] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0077] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
