Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wire storage, and more specifically to a cable storage device. Background Art

[0002] Cables are a general term for optical cables, electrical cables, etc. Cables are mainly used for control installation, equipment connection, power transmission, etc. They are common and indispensable in daily life. Because cables are very long, they are often wound for storage or transportation.

[0003] Existing portable cable storage devices mainly drive the winding drum to rotate by manually cranking a crank to wind the cable around the winding drum, such as a cable storage device that can evenly wind the cable disclosed in Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN111003590A, or a cable storage reel disclosed in Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN219885311U; both drive the reel to rotate by rotating the raised crank or handle, thereby driving the cable to be wound around the reel as the reel rotates.

[0004] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the application of force to drive the reel to rotate, the handle is mostly a cylindrical protrusion structure connected to the rocker arm at the end of the reel. This protrusion structure is easily subject to collision when the cable storage device is transported and moved; on the one hand, the handle is prone to position deviation or even damage after a collision, resulting in the inability to smoothly drive the reel to rotate for cable storage by turning the handle; on the other hand, when the cable storage device with stored cables encounters a handle collision during transportation, the handle is likely to move in an unwanted direction, thereby driving the reel to rotate in the opposite direction of winding, causing the cable to fall out.

[0005] Of course, the problem of the handle being easily affected by collision can be solved by detachably connecting the handle to the reel and removing the handle when carrying the cable storage device containing the cables. However, this will require the handle and the reel to be carried separately, which may easily cause the handle to be missed and the cable storage device to be unusable. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to address the deficiencies of the prior art and, on the basis of ensuring that the device is always carried as a whole, provide a cable storage device with a handle that can be folded and stowed, so that the cable storage device can be transported and stored in a form in which the handle is not easily affected by collision.

[0012] A locking member slidably mounted on the connecting rod and capable of pressing against the adapter block;

[0013] Providing elastic force to the locking member to drive it to press against the elastic member located at the adapter block;

[0014] So that the handle can be fixed on the adapter block in a transverse extension, or the handle can be close to the rocker arm and fixed on the adapter block in a direction in which the rocker arm extends.

[0015] As a further preferred solution, the handle is protruded from the outer periphery of one end of the adapter block to form a limiting portion;

[0016] Furthermore, the elastic member is placed between the limiting portion and the locking member in a compressed state.

[0017] As a further preferred solution, the locking member is provided on a side facing the limiting portion with: a sleeve sleeved on the outer periphery of the handle;

[0018] Furthermore, a space for accommodating the elastic member is formed at an interval between the sleeve and the handle.

[0019] As a further preferred solution, one end of the handle having the limiting portion is adapted to be accommodated in the sleeve;

[0020] Furthermore, a limiting block is fixedly connected inside the sleeve and is disposed on a side of the handle facing away from the adapter block.

[0021] As a further preferred embodiment, the handle includes: a grip sleeve which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the locking member and can rotate around the connecting rod as an axis.

[0022] As a further preferred solution, the gripping sleeve can also be slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the locking member;

[0023] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the locking member is formed with: a locking portion protruding toward the holding sleeve;

[0024] The inner wall of the holding sleeve is provided with a pressing portion which protrudes toward the locking member and is disposed on a side of the locking portion facing the adapter block.

[0025] As a further preferred solution, in the direction from the locking member to the limiting portion, the outer diameter of the gripping sleeve gradually increases.

[0026] As a further preferred solution, the elastic member is a spring sleeved on the handle.

[0027] As a further preferred solution, a connector is fixedly connected to the end of the reel, and the connector has:

[0028] A cable connector for fixing the cable, the cable connector having a portion for signal connection with the cable;

[0029] A plug connector is connected to the cable connector for signal connection with external devices.

[0030] As a further preferred solution, a wiring cavity with a cavity structure is provided inside the reel;

[0031] The cable connector is placed in the wiring cavity, and a side wall of the wiring cavity is provided with a wire entry hole for cables to enter the wiring cavity from the outside.

[0032] The main beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0033] By arranging the handle to be foldable, when cable work is required, the handle can be connected to the rocker arm in a laterally extended position, making it convenient to apply force to drive the reel to rotate, thereby achieving the cable storage work; and when transportation is required, the handle can be close to the rocker arm and connected to the rocker arm in a manner extending in the extension direction of the rocker arm, so that the handle can be folded and placed on one side of the rocker arm, thereby reducing the possibility of the handle being damaged due to collision or moving in an unwanted direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The present invention is specifically described below with reference to the embodiments:

[0045] Example:

[0046] A cable storage device, as shown in the following Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 6 , including a bracket 1, on which a reel 2 extending laterally and used for winding a cable is rotatably connected, and two ends of the reel 2 are respectively provided with a first limiting plate 2a and a second limiting plate 2b protruding from the outer circumference of the reel 2, and a cable storage space is formed between the first limiting plate 2a and the second limiting plate 2b to prevent the cable wound on the reel 2 from laterally detaching from the reel 2.

[0047] Moreover, one end of the reel 2 has a portion extending through the bracket 1, which is fixedly connected to a rocker arm 3, and a transfer block 301 is connected to the side of the rocker arm 3 facing away from the reel 2, and a columnar handle is connected to the transfer block 301. The operator can hold the handle to drive the rocker arm 3 to rotate, thereby driving the reel 2 to rotate so that the cable can be wound around the reel 2 for collection.

[0048] Since the handle is a cylindrical protrusion structure on one side of the rocker arm 3, it is easy to be hit during transportation, and in order to avoid the handle being disassembled and separated during transportation, the handle is foldable and retractable in this embodiment.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the handle includes a connecting rod 4, a locking member 5 and an elastic member 6.

[0050] The connecting rod 4 is a rod member whose one end is rotatably connected to the adapter block 301. By changing the rotation angle, it can be Figure 5 It extends laterally as shown in A, or can be as shown in the attached Figure 5 As shown in B, it is close to the rocker arm 3 and extends in accordance with (preferably parallel to, but with a certain deviation allowed) the extension direction of the rocker arm 3; and the specific structure of the adapter block 301 is set according to the rotation requirements of the connecting rod 4 to avoid hindering the rotation of the connecting rod 4. The locking member 5 is slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the connecting rod 4 and has a portion that can press against the adapter block 301; the elastic member 6 provides elastic force to the locking member 5 to drive it to press and limit on the adapter block 301, that is, the elastic member 6 provides elastic force to the locking member 5 to drive the locking member 5 to press and fit on a certain position of the adapter block 301 under the action of the elastic force, thereby limiting the locking member 5.

[0051] By pushing the locking member 5 away from the transfer block 301 with external force, the elastic force of the elastic member 6 is overcome, as shown in the attached Figure 5 As shown in B, the locking member 5 is spaced from the adapter block 301, so that the handle is driven to be rotatable.

[0052] When the handle is turned to Figure 5 As shown in A, it is in a transversely extended state. When the external force is removed, the elastic member 6 applies elastic force to the locking member 5 so that the locking member 5 is pressed against the adapter block 301. The handle can be fixed on the adapter block 301 in a transversely extended state, making it convenient to apply force to drive the reel to rotate, thereby realizing the cable storage work.

[0053] At this time, if the attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the adapter block 301 is preferably adapted to be provided with a first positioning surface 3011 with a planar structure for the locking member 5 to press against, that is, the adapter block 301 has a first positioning surface 3011 for the locking member 5 to press against when the connecting rod 4 is in a laterally extended position, so as to improve the limiting effect of the locking member 5 and achieve stable retention of the handle.

[0054] When the handle is turned to Figure 5 As shown in C, the handle is close to the rocker arm 3 and extends in the direction in which the rocker arm 3 extends (preferably parallel to, but a certain deviation is allowed). When the external force is removed, the elastic member 6 applies elastic force to the locking member 5 to press the locking member 5 against the adapter block 301. The handle can be close to the rocker arm 3 and extend in the direction in which the rocker arm 3 extends, and is fixed on the adapter block 301. The handle can be folded and placed on one side of the rocker arm to reduce the possibility of the handle being damaged due to collision or moving in an unwanted direction.

[0055] At this time, if the attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4As shown, the adapter block 301 is preferably adapted to be provided with a second positioning surface 3012 with a planar structure for the locking member 5 to press against, that is, the adapter block 301 has a second positioning surface 3012 for the locking member 5 to press against when the connecting rod 4 is close to the rocker arm 3 and extends in the extension direction of the rocker arm 3, so as to improve the limiting effect of the locking member 5 and realize the stable retention of the handle.

[0056] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 4 As shown, the outer periphery of the connecting rod 4 away from the adapter block 301 is raised to form a limiting portion 401; and the elastic member 6 is placed in a compressed state between the limiting portion 401 and the locking member 5 to provide elastic force for the locking member 5 to press against the adapter block 301.

[0057] At this time, the elastic member 6 is preferably a spring sleeved on the connecting rod 4 , which can stably provide elastic force to the locking member 5 , thereby enabling the handle to be stably fixed on the adapter block 301 .

[0058] Furthermore, a sleeve 501 which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod 4 can be further provided on the side of the locking member 5 facing the limiting portion 401. The sleeve 501 is preferably connected to the locking member 5 as a whole. Moreover, a space for accommodating the elastic member 6 is formed at intervals between the sleeve 501 and the connecting rod 4. The elastic member 6 is adapted to be accommodated in the space, so as to provide protection for the elastic member 6 while reducing the possibility of foreign objects falling onto the elastic member 6 and interfering with the deformation of the elastic member 6.

[0059] At this time, if the attached Figure 4 As shown, by setting the size of the sleeve 501, the connecting rod 4 can have one end of the limiting portion 401 (as shown in the attached Figure 4 The right end of the middle connecting rod 4) is adapted to be accommodated in the sleeve 501; and a stopper block 502 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 501 and is arranged on the side of the connecting rod 4 facing away from the adapter block 301. The stopper block 502 prevents the right end of the connecting rod 4 from escaping from the sleeve 501. Combined with the arrangement of the locking member 5 and the stopper 401, the connecting rod 4, the locking member 5, the sleeve 501, the stopper block 502 and the elastic member 6 can form an integral handle, and each part is not easy to be separated, so that the handle can be better carried in the production line.

[0060] Furthermore, when the operator holds the handle to drive the handle to rotate around the reel 2, the handle and the palm of the hand holding the handle will rotate relative to each other, causing damage to the palm. Figure 3 and attached Figure 4As shown, the handle in this embodiment further includes a gripping sleeve 7 which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the locking member 5 and can rotate with the connecting rod 4 as an axis, and is a protective sleeve for gripping. When the operator grips the gripping sleeve 7 to drive the handle to rotate around the reel 2, the gripping sleeve 7 and the locking member 5 can rotate, while the gripping sleeve 7 and the palm do not rotate, so as to protect the gripping palm and reduce the possibility of friction damage.

[0061] At this time, when the position of the handle needs to be adjusted, the gripping sleeve 7 is pulled to drive the locking piece 5 to be rotatable at a distance from the adapter block 301; in this embodiment, in the direction from the locking piece 5 to the limiting portion 401, the outer diameter of the gripping sleeve 7 gradually increases to facilitate pulling the gripping sleeve 7.

[0062] On the basis of the above, it is further considered that when the gripping sleeve 7 is only rotatable and cannot be slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the locking member 5, the movement of the gripping sleeve 7 is likely to drive the locking member 5 to move, resulting in the handle being unable to be stably fixed on the adapter block 301, and further resulting in the handle being unable to be driven to stably rotate around the reel 2. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the gripping sleeve 7 can rotate or slide back and forth along the direction from the locking member 5 to the limiting portion 401 to be mounted on the outer periphery of the locking member 5, and a locking portion 503 protruding toward the gripping sleeve 7 is formed on the outer periphery of the locking member 5; the inner wall of the gripping sleeve 7 is provided with a pressing portion 701 protruding toward the locking member 5 and placed on the side of the locking portion 503 facing the adapter block 301. In order to reduce the impact of the displacement of the gripping sleeve 7 on the locking member 5, only when the gripping sleeve 7 moves along the direction from the adapter block 301 to the locking member 5 and the pressing portion 701 abuts against the locking portion 503, can the gripping sleeve 7 be further pulled along the direction from the adapter block 301 to the locking member 5 to push the locking member 5 to be separated from the adapter block 301, so that the handle is in a rotatable state.

[0063] At this time, if the attached Figure 4 As shown, the adapter block 301 may also have a portion disposed on the side of the pressing portion 701 facing away from the locking portion 503 , with a sliding space for the pressing portion 701 to slide formed between the portion and the locking portion 503 , so as to limit the sliding path of the gripping sleeve 7 .

[0064] On the basis of the above scheme, the end of the reel 2 can also be fixedly connected with a connector 8, which has a cable connector 801 for fixing the cable, and the cable connector 801 has a part for signal connection with the cable (such as electrical signal connection or optical signal connection); it also has a plug connector 802 that is signal connected to the cable connector 801 and is used for signal connection with an external device, and the specific structure of the plug connector 802 is specifically set according to the requirements of the external device.

[0065] In this way, one end of the cable can be fixedly connected to the cable connector 801, so that when the cable is used to connect signals between two devices, there is no need to completely detach the cable from the reel 2. The other end of the cable only needs to be pulled to a device that needs to be connected as needed, and the other device can be directly connected through the plug connector 802, which makes it convenient to pull the cable according to the distance between the devices to avoid the problem of entanglement caused by excessive pulling of the cable. Moreover, when the cable is stored, since one end of the cable is already fixedly connected to the cable connector 801, there is no need to take additional action to fix the end of the cable on the reel 2. The reel 2 can be directly driven to rotate to wind and store the cable, making storage more convenient.

[0066] Furthermore, in order to avoid interference caused by the setting of the cable connector 801 on the winding and storage of the cable, as shown in the attached Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a hollow wiring cavity 201 is provided inside the reel 2; a cable connector 801 is placed in the wiring cavity 201, and a wire entry hole 202 is provided on the side wall of the wiring cavity 201 for cables to enter the wiring cavity 201 from the outside. One end of the cable can enter the wiring cavity 201 through the wire entry hole 202 to connect with the cable connector 801.

[0067] At the same time, if attached Figure 7 As shown, the end of the reel 2 can also be detachably connected with a protective cover 205 using, for example, a screw or threaded structure, which forms a protective cover for the joint member 8.
