Obviously, all features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed, except mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any way. Any feature disclosed in this specification, unless otherwise described, can be replaced by other alternative features that are equivalent or have similar purposes, that is, unless otherwise described, each feature is just an example of a series of equivalent or similar features. The technical solution of the present invention is described in many aspects in combination with the figures and embodiments below.

[0048] The cable storage and fixing device according to the utility model can be used to store and fix the maintenance cables of onboard equipment, but can also be used in other fields that require storage and fixing of cables.

[0049] In this document, the terms "inside", "outside", "inward", "outward", "proximal", "distal", etc. are only used to describe the relative positions of various elements.

[0050] In this document, serial numbers "first", "second", etc. do not represent order (for example, do not imply a precedence relationship unless explicitly stated) or priority or importance. The above serial numbers are only used to indicate that they are different and independent devices, elements or steps.

[0051] Figure 1 1 is an exploded view of the cable storage and fixing device 100 according to the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the cable storage and fixing device 100 according to the present invention includes a cable sleeve 2, a sleeve 3, a fixing member 5 and a fastener 6.

[0052] The cable sleeve 2 can be used to wrap the cable 1, and the sleeve 3 can be used to store the cable sleeve 2. When the cable 1 does not need to be unfolded, the cable sleeve 2 wrapped with the cable 1 can be stored in the sleeve 3, for example, the cable sleeve 2 can be coiled and stored in the sleeve 3, and the sleeve 3 can keep the cable sleeve 2 coiled, which can reduce or avoid interference between the cable 1 and the surrounding environment when the cable 1 does not need to be unfolded, and reduce the risk of damage to the cable 1.

[0053] When the cable 1 needs to be unfolded during equipment maintenance, the cable sleeve 2 stored in the sleeve 3 can be stretched, for example, the coiled cable sleeve 2 can be unwound so that the cable sleeve 2 wrapped around the cable 1 can be stretched for equipment maintenance, which can facilitate the storage and unfolding of the cable 1, saving time and effort. In addition, when the cable 1 is unfolded, the cable sleeve 2 wrapped around the cable 1 provides additional wear protection for the cable 1, reducing the risk of damage to the cable 1.

[0054] Preferably, the cable sleeve 2 is configured to be partially or fully elastically stretchable and coiled. More specifically, the cable sleeve 2 is made of an elastically deformable material, and its shape is coiled, so that the cable sleeve 2 is naturally coiled and stored in the sleeve 3 when not subjected to external force. In particular, the cable sleeve 2 can be configured to be partially or fully elastically stretchable and coiled into a tower shape, a disc shape, etc. When the cable 1 needs to be unfolded during maintenance, an external force is applied to the cable sleeve 2 so that the cable sleeve 2 stretches and deforms and is no longer coiled. At the end of the maintenance, the cable sleeve 2 is released, and after no external force is applied to it, the cable sleeve 2 will resume coiling and be stored in the sleeve 3 under the action of the elastic restoring force, which makes it easier to store and unfold the cable 1, saving time and effort. More preferably, the cable sleeve 2 is configured as follows Figure 1 The spiral cable sleeve 2 shown in the figure can also be configured into other shapes that can be elastically stretched and coiled. In addition, through the sleeve and the elastically stretched and coiled cable sleeve 2, the unfolding and storage direction of the cable 1 can also be controlled to reduce the possibility of interference with the surrounding environment.

[0055] More preferably, the cable storage and fixing device 100 further comprises an adhesive member 9, and the adhesive member 9 is bonded to the end of the cable sleeve 2 that wraps the cable 1. The adhesive member 9 is preferably bonded to both ends of the cable sleeve 2, but may be bonded to only one end of the cable sleeve 2. By bonding the adhesive member 9 to the end of the cable sleeve 2 that wraps the cable 1, the cable 1 and the cable sleeve 2 can be fixed together to avoid accidental movement of the cable 1 relative to the cable sleeve 2, thereby avoiding obstruction of storage. In addition, the adhesive member 9 can also prevent environmental foreign matter from entering the gap between the cable sleeve 2 and the cable 1. Preferably, the adhesive member 9 is an adhesive tape.

[0056] The sleeve 3 includes a first end 301 and a second end 302. Preferably, the first end 301 of the sleeve 3 is in a trumpet shape that expands outward, and the fixing member 5 fixes the cable sleeve 2 to the vicinity of the second end 302 of the sleeve 3, so that the cable sleeve 2 is received into the sleeve 3 through the first end 301 of the sleeve 3 and extends outward through the first end 301 of the sleeve 3, so that the trumpet-shaped first end 301 that expands outward is conducive to the storage and deployment of the cable 1, and reduces the interference between the cable sleeve 2 and the edge of the first end 301.

[0057] Preferably, the sleeve 3 is cylindrical as shown in the figure, but the sleeve 3 may also be in other shapes, such as a rectangular parallelepiped. Preferably, the size of the sleeve 3 is configured to be sufficient to accommodate the coiled cable sleeve 2, such as Figure 4 As shown. The sleeve 3 also includes a mounting portion 4, preferably the mounting portion 4 is a boss 4 extending from the sleeve 3, as shown. Preferably, the sleeve 3 is bonded and mounted on the structural surface 200 by applying an adhesive on the outer surface of the boss 4 and placing the outer surface of the boss 4 close to the structural surface 200 (see FIG. 2 ). Figure 6 ). Alternatively, a slot may be provided on the side surface of the boss 4, and a joint portion cooperating with the slot may be provided on the structural surface 200, and the sleeve 3 may be mounted on the structural surface 200 by the cooperation between the slot and the joint portion, or vice versa. Alternatively, a magnetic member that can attract each other may be provided on the boss 4 and the structural surface 200, and the sleeve 3 may be mounted on the structural surface 200 by magnetic attraction. The structural surface 200 may be the surface of a kitchen interior panel, or the surface of other onboard structures.

[0058] The fixing member 5 is configured to fix one end of the cable sleeve 2 to the sleeve 3, and is preferably a clamp member 5. Preferably, as shown in the figure, the first end 301 and the second end 302 of the sleeve 3 are open, and a fastening hole 7 is provided near the second end 302. The clamp member 5 is fastened to the fastening hole 7 via a fastener 6, thereby fixing one end of the clamped cable sleeve 2 and the sleeve 3 together. More preferably, the fastening hole 7 is provided on a fastening flange 8 extending from the second end 302, so as to facilitate the fastening of the clamp member 5. Preferably, the fastener 6 is a bolt-nut fastener.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment not shown, the first end 301 of the sleeve 3 is open, while the second end 302 is substantially closed, and a fixing hole is provided on the end surface of the second end 302, the fixing hole being configured to receive a cable sleeve passing therethrough, and the fixing member 5 being configured to fix the cable sleeve 2 passing therethrough relative to the fixing hole. Specifically, the cable sleeve 2 passes through the fixing hole, and the fixing member 5 fixes one end of the cable sleeve 2 on one or both sides of the fixing hole, so that the cable sleeve 2 cannot move relative to the fixing hole, and fixes one end of the cable sleeve 2 to the sleeve 3. Specifically, the fixing member 5 is a clamp ring, a cable tie, a clip, etc. Preferably, the fixing hole is arranged near the edge of the end surface of the second end 302. Alternatively, the fixing hole can also be adapted to the configuration of the cable sleeve 2, for example, it can be arranged at the center of the end surface of the second end 302. Alternatively, an external thread can also be constructed at one end of the cable sleeve 2, and an external thread matching it can be constructed in the fixing hole, and the fixing member 5 can also be a nut.
