Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of POE power adapters, and particularly relates to a novel shell structure and a POE power adapter. Background Art
[0002] POE stands for Power Over Ethernet, which refers to active Ethernet. POE power supply refers to a technology that can provide DC power to some IP-based terminals (such as IP phones, wireless LAN access points AP, network cameras, etc.) while transmitting data signals without making any changes to the Ethernet Cat.5 wiring infrastructure.
[0003] The POE power adapter only needs one network cable to provide power and data transmission for low-power network devices at the same time, which not only saves power cable materials but also reduces installation costs. It is mainly used for wireless wiring.
[0004] In the prior art, during the installation and wiring process of the POE power adapter, the redundant power cords are scattered on one side, which increases the workload for on-site wiring. In addition, the power cords of the POE power adapter need to be placed together with other wires, which reduces the heat dissipation space of the power cords and weakens the heat dissipation performance. When the POE power adapter is idle, its power cords need to be tied up with a rope to prevent them from being scattered. However, ropes are not readily available, making operation inconvenient. Moreover, the tied power cords and the housing of the POE power adapter are connected at one point and are relatively scattered. In the POE power adapter collection area, they are easily crossed with other power cords, making it difficult to pick up. Violent pulling and picking up can easily cause certain damage to the POE power adapter. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to address the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a new shell structure. Through the coordinated design between the storage tube and the cable management component, as long as there is redundancy in the power cord, the cable management component can be adjusted to the cable management state, and then the power cord can be wrapped around the cable management component, so that the power cord and the shell are integrated into one, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of the power cord being scattered and easy to take. Since the number of cable management components is designed to be multiple and has a certain length, the layout space for the power cord is increased, which can reduce the poor heat dissipation caused by excessive wire overlap and is conducive to heat dissipation. The present invention also provides a POE power adapter, which adopts the design of a storage tube and a cable management component. When the length of the power cord is just enough, the cable management component can be adjusted to an idle state, that is, the cable management component can be embedded in the storage tube, thereby reducing the area occupied by the shell, making the structure compact and effectively improving space utilization.
[0006] The technical effects to be achieved by the present invention are achieved through the following aspects:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present utility model provides a novel housing structure, including
[0008] a main body, an accommodation cavity is provided inside the main body, and a plurality of storage tubes extend from the outside of the main body towards the accommodation cavity, and
[0009] a wire management member, which is movable within the storage tube and passes through the main body;
[0010] wherein, the wire management member includes an idle state and a wire management state. The idle state is that the wire management member is embedded in the storage tube, and the wire management state is that the wire management member protrudes from the storage tube and is snap-fitted to the storage tube.
[0011] In some implementation manners, the storage tube includes a tube body, an opening, and a positioning block. The opening is provided at the upper end of the tube body, and the wire management member passes through the opening. The positioning block is provided at the edge of the opening, and the wire management member can be snap-fitted to the positioning block.
[0012] In some implementation manners, the positioning block includes a first block body and a positioning groove. The positioning groove is provided in the first block body and is symmetrically arranged with the opening as the center.
[0013] In some implementation manners, the positioning groove includes a cavity body and a clamping cavity. The cavity body extends towards one side to form the clamping cavity; one end of the clamping cavity close to the entrance of the positioning groove is arc-shaped.
[0014] In some implementation manners, the wire management member includes a roller body, a clamping block, and a hand-held block. The clamping block is connected to the lower end of the roller body and is arranged inside the storage tube. The hand-held block is connected to the upper end of the roller body and is arranged outside the storage tube;
[0015] In a cross-section, the size of the roller body is smaller than the size of the opening, and the size of the opening is smaller than the size of the hand-held block and the size of the clamping block.
[0016] In some implementation manners, the clamping block includes a second block body and a hook body. The hook bodies are arranged on both sides of the second block body corresponding to the positioning groove, and the hook bodies are embedded in the clamping cavity.
[0017] In some implementation manners, a grip groove is provided on the edge of the hand-held block.
[0018] In some implementation manners, grooves are arranged in an array on the surface of the roller body.

One end of the limiting rod is movably connected to the main body, a limiting hole is provided at the other end of the limiting rod, and the fixing column passes through the limiting hole;
[0020] When the fixed column passes through the limit hole, the limit rod is embedded in the groove.
[0021] In a second aspect, the present utility model provides a POE power adapter, including the above-mentioned housing structure.
[0022] In summary, the present utility model has at least the following advantages:
[0023] 1. The novel housing structure provided by the present utility model, through the cooperative design between the storage tube and the wire management member, as long as there is redundancy in the power cord, the wire management member can be adjusted to a wire management state, and then the power cord can be wound around the wire management member, so that the power cord is integrated with the housing, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of the power cord being scattered and facilitating taking. Since the number of wire management members is designed to be multiple and has a certain length, the layout space for the power cord is increased, heat dissipation caused by excessive wire stacking can be reduced, and heat dissipation is facilitated.
[0024] 2. The novel housing structure provided by the present utility model adopts the design of the storage tube and the wire management member.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. The described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0037] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model claimed, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0038] Embodiment 1:
[0039] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-2 , the novel housing structure of the present utility model includes a main body 1 and a cable organizing member 2. An accommodating cavity 11 is provided inside the main body 1, and a plurality of storage pipes 12 extend outward from the outside of the main body 1 towards the accommodating cavity 11; the cable organizing member 2 is movable inside the storage pipes 12 and passes through the main body 1; wherein, the cable organizing member 2 includes an idle state and a cable organizing state. The idle state is that the cable organizing member 2 is embedded inside the storage pipes 12, and the cable organizing state is that the cable organizing member 2 protrudes inside the storage pipes 12 and is detachably connected to the storage pipes 12. The accommodating cavity 11 is used for placing various electrical components.
[0040] Among them, four storage tubes 12 can be provided, which are respectively located at the four corners on the same side of the main body 1, and the wire management members 2 are provided corresponding to the storage tubes 12. Through this setting, it can be determined which wire management member 2 is adjusted to the wire management state and which wire management member 2 is adjusted to the idle state according to the length of the redundant wire, which is suitable for dealing with various wire lengths. When the redundant wire is long, all the wire management members 2 can be adjusted to the wire management state; when the redundant wire is short, two or even one wire management member 2 can be selected to be adjusted to the wire management state; the wire is wound around the wire management member 2, and the space enclosed between the wire and the wire management member 2 can be a heat dissipation space, which has the functions of both a large heat dissipation space and a regular redundant wire.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , when the wire management member 2 is in the wire management state, one side of the wire management member 2 extends out of the storage tube 12 until the other side of the wire management member 2 is fixedly connected with the storage tube 12 in a snap-fit manner, so that the wire management member 2 maintains a certain height, enabling the redundant wire to be wound around the wire management member 2. And because the wire management member 2 has a certain height, the power cord does not need to be overlapped and wound, thereby increasing the heat dissipation space. See Figure 4 , when the wire management member 2 is in the idle state, manually press the wire management member 2 into the storage tube 12 to separate the snap-fit position between the wire management member 2 and the storage tube 12, and then embed the wire management member 2 into the storage tube 12, thereby reducing the occupied area of the housing, making the structure compact, and correspondingly improving the space utilization rate. And this structure is convenient to operate and has great practicality.
[0042] Please refer to the appendix Figure 5 , the storage tube 12 includes a tube body 121, an opening 122 and a positioning block 123. The opening 122 is provided at the upper end of the tube body 121, and the wire management member 2 passes through the opening 122. The positioning block 123 is provided at the edge of the opening 122, and the wire management member 2 can be snap-fitted with the positioning block 123.
[0043] The positioning block 123 includes a first block body 1231 and a positioning groove 1232. The positioning groove 1232 is provided on the first block body 1231 and is symmetrically arranged with the opening 122 as the center. The positioning groove 1232 includes a cavity 1233 and a clamping cavity 1234. The cavity 1233 extends toward one side to form the clamping cavity 1234; one end of the clamping cavity 1234 close to the entrance of the positioning groove 1232 is arc-shaped. Among them, the arc-shaped setting can make the hook body 222 easy to be clamped into and separated from, which is convenient for operation.
[0044] Please refer to the appendix Figure 6 , the wire management member 2 includes a roller body 21, a clamping block 22 and a hand-held block 23. The clamping block 22 is connected to the lower end of the roller body 21 and is arranged inside the storage tube 12. The hand-held block 23 is connected to the upper end of the roller body 21 and is arranged outside the storage tube 12; in the cross-section, the size of the roller body 21 is smaller than the size of the opening 122, and the size of the opening 122 is smaller than the sizes of the hand-held block 23 and the clamping block 22.
[0045] The clamping block 22 includes a second block body 221 and a hook body 222. The hook bodies 222 are arranged on both sides of the second block body 221 corresponding to the positioning grooves 1232, and the hook bodies 222 are embedded in the clamping cavities 1234.
[0046] Through the above structural description of the storage tube 12 and the wire management member 2, it can be understood that the roller body 21 can move up and down at the opening 122, and is limited by the clamping block 22 and the handheld block 23 to prevent the roller body 21 from detaching from the tube body 121, so that the wire management member 2 can be flexibly switched between the idle state and the wire management state. When the wire management member 2 is in the wire management state, the roller body 21 located in the tube body 121 is pulled out from the opening 122 through the handheld block 23, so that the second block body 221 enters the cavity 1233 of the positioning groove 1232, and the hook body 22 is snapped into the clamping cavity 1234, so that the clamping block 22 and the positioning block 123 are fixedly connected, and then the roller body 21 is fixed at the corresponding position. When the wire management member 2 needs to be switched to the idle state, the handheld block 23 is pressed downwards, so that the hook body 222 disengages from the clamping cavity 1234, the second block body 221 leaves the positioning groove 1232, the roller body 21 enters the tube body 121 from the opening 122, the clamping block 22 is placed at the bottom of the tube body 121, and the handheld block 23 is attached to the opening 122, thus completing the switching of the wire management member 2 from the wire management state to the idle state. The overall operation is convenient, and the structure is simple and practical, suitable for mass production.
[0047] In some embodiments, a grip groove 231 is provided on the edge of the handheld block 23. Through the provision of the grip groove 231, when the wire management member 2 is switched to the wire management state, it is convenient for the operator to hold it in the grip groove 231, increasing the operation area and friction for taking, and facilitating the taking of the roller body 21. In addition, when the POE power adapter is idle, the power cord needs to be sorted, that is, the power cord is wound around the roller body 21. When the redundant wire is wound to the end, the power cord can be inserted into the grip groove 231, thereby fixing the power cord and effectively preventing the power cord from becoming loose and ensuring the neatness of the power cord.
[0048] Embodiment 2:
[0049] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the structure of the housing of the present utility model is further optimized.
[0050] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 , on the surface of the roller body 21 in this embodiment, grooves 211 are arranged in an array. Among them, through the provision of the grooves 211, during the winding process of the power cord, the power cord can be snapped into the grooves 211, so that there is a certain gap between the wound parallel wires, thereby increasing the heat dissipation space and preventing the heat generated during the operation of the power cord from being difficult to disperse.
[0051] In addition, the grooves 211 can cooperate with the limiting member 13 to control the length of the roller body 21 coming out of the tube body 121, so as to adapt to the lengths of various power supplies.
[0052] In some embodiments, the main body 1 is provided with a limiting member 13 corresponding to the groove 211; the limiting member 13 includes a limiting rod 131 and a fixing column 132. One end of the limiting rod 131 is movably connected to the main body 1, a limiting hole 1311 is provided at the other end of the limiting rod 131, and the fixing column 132 passes through the limiting hole 1311; when the fixing column 132 passes through the limiting hole 1311, the limiting rod 131 is embedded in the groove 211.
[0053] It can be understood that the cooperation action between the groove 211 and the limiting member 13 is as follows: when the roller body 21 has not been pulled out of the pipe body 121, at this time the limiting rod 131 is far away from the fixing column 132; when the roller body 21 is pulled out to a certain position, the limiting rod 131 is embedded in the groove 211, and the fixing column 132 passes through the limiting hole 1311, so as to clamp the roller body 21, effectively preventing the roller body 21 from falling into the pipe body 121. Through this setting, the wire management member 2 can be widely applied to power cords of various lengths, with a large application range and high flexibility.
[0054] Embodiment 3:
[0055] On the basis of the above embodiment, this embodiment provides a POE power adapter, including the above-mentioned housing structure. The POE power adapter of this embodiment can ensure the neatness of the power cord and can ensure a large heat dissipation space for the power cord.
[0056] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, terms such as "installation", "connection", "connection", "fixation" and other terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.
[0057] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship when the product of this invention is normally placed. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, terms such as "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0058] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "overhanging", etc. do not require the components to be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but may be slightly inclined. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but may be slightly inclined.
[0059] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the first feature being above or below the second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features not being in direct contact but being in contact through additional features therebetween. Moreover, the first feature being above, over and on the second feature includes the first feature being directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicating that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being below, under and beneath the second feature includes the first feature being directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicating that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.
