Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable retraction and extension, and in particular to a retraction and extension device for cables arranged in a data center. Background Art

[0002] A data center refers to a facility specifically designed for storing, processing, and distributing large amounts of data. These facilities are usually equipped with advanced computer systems, storage devices, and network equipment to ensure the security, reliability, and efficient processing of data. During the construction of a data center, a large number of cables are required for data transmission. The layout and laying of cables in the data center require the use of corresponding retractable devices. Current retractable devices are generally large in size and occupy a lot of space, making it difficult to effectively adapt to the cable carrying needs during the layout and laying process. At the same time, most existing retractable devices have a relatively simple structure and can only realize the retractable operation of the cables. When the cables are reeled in, it is easy for the cables to be unevenly distributed on the side walls of the collection roller. An overly concentrated distribution may affect the smoothness of the rotation of the collection roller, causing the subsequent cable payout process to jam. To this end, we propose a retractable device for laying cables in a data center. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cable retraction device for data center layout, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cable retracting and releasing device for data center layout, comprising a mounting frame, a collecting roller rotatably connected to the mounting frame, a drive motor embedded in a side wall of the mounting frame, and an output end of the drive motor fixedly connected to an end of the collecting roller;

[0005] The mounting frame includes mounting plates arranged opposite to each other, a handle rod is fixedly mounted between the two mounting plates, an assembly groove is opened between the two mounting plates, an assembly plate is fixedly mounted in the assembly groove, and a wire management mechanism is fixedly mounted on the top of the assembly plate.

[0006] Preferably, the wire management mechanism includes a fixed plate, which is relatively fixedly assembled on the top of the assembly plate, and a screw rod is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates.

The outer wall of the screw rod is screwed with a movable plate, and the bottom of the movable plate is fixedly connected to a guide frame through an open groove. The open groove is provided on the surface of the assembly plate, and a wire hole is provided in the guide frame. The top of the assembly plate is relatively fixedly assembled with a contact switch.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: a cable retraction and release device for laying out cables in a data center, which adopts a handheld collecting roller to retract and release cables. Compared with traditional cable retraction and release devices, it occupies less space, is convenient to be handheld and carried, has better applicability, and can perform cable layout operations in a narrow space. At the same time, a wire management mechanism is set in the mounting frame. When the device performs cable retraction operations through the set wire management mechanism, the cables can be evenly distributed on the side walls of the collecting roller, so that the bearing force of the collecting roller is more uniform, and will not affect the smoothness of the rotation between the collecting roller and the mounting frame, and will not cause jamming when the cables are subsequently released.

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0017] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The utility model provides a technical solution: a cable retraction and winding device for data center layout, including a mounting frame 1, which is composed of two mounting plates 11. A handle rod 12 is fixedly connected between the mounting plates 11. The handle rod 12 is used to grasp the entire device, which is convenient for laying and winding up the cables. A collecting roller 2 is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 11. A driving motor 3 is fixedly assembled on the side wall of the mounting plate 11. The output end of the driving motor 3 is connected to the end of the collecting roller 2 through a coupling. The driving motor 3 is electrically connected to an external power supply, and the collecting roller 2 is driven to rotate in the mounting frame 1 by the driving motor 3 to realize the cable retraction and winding operation.

[0018] A switch button 15 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the handle bar 12 . The switch button 15 is electrically connected to the drive motor 3 . The switch button 15 controls the on and off of the drive motor 3 .

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG, hollow holes 4 are evenly opened at both ends of the collecting roller 2. By providing the hollow holes 4, the overall weight of the collecting roller 2 can be reduced, making it easier for the operator to take the collecting roller 2.

[0020] An assembly groove 13 is provided in the mounting frame 1 and passes through the mounting plates 11 on both sides. A horizontally arranged assembly plate 14 is fixedly installed in the assembly groove 13, and a wire management mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the assembly plate 14. By setting the wire management mechanism 5, the device can drive the cables to move left and right during the process of retracting and releasing the cables, so that the cables are more evenly distributed on the outer wall of the collecting roller 2.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the wire management mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 51, and there are two fixed plates 51. The two fixed plates 51 are symmetrically fixedly assembled on the surface of the assembly plate 14 in the left and right directions. A screw rod 52 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 51, and a control motor 53 is fixedly assembled on the surface of the assembly plate 14. The output end of the control motor 53 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw rod 52. The outer wall of the screw rod 52 is sleeved with a movable plate 54, and the bottom of the movable plate 54 is fixedly connected with a guide frame 56 that passes through the open groove 55. A wire hole 57 for the cable to pass through is opened in the guide frame 56. After the cable passes through the wire hole 57, the guide frame 56 is driven to reciprocate left and right by the movable plate 54, so that the guide frame 56 can be evenly distributed on the side wall of the collecting roller 2.

[0022] The control motor 53 is a pulse stepper motor, which is electrically connected to an external controller and an external power supply. The external controller sends a pulse signal to the control motor 53 to control the forward or reverse rotation of the output end of the control motor 53. Figure 3As shown in the figure, the surface of the assembly plate 14 is symmetrically fixed with contact switches 6 on both sides of the opening groove 55 on the left and right sides. The contact switches 6 are connected to the external controller by electrical signals. As the movable plate 54 moves in the opening groove 55, after touching the contact switch 6 at the corresponding position, the contact switch 6 sends an electrical signal to the controller, and the external controller rotates the output end of the control motor 53 in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the movable plate 54.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the bottom of the movable plate 54 is fixedly connected with relatively distributed limit blocks 71, and the surface of the assembly plate 14 is relatively provided with limit grooves 72. The limit blocks 71 are slidably connected in the limit grooves 72. The limit assembly 7 composed of the limit blocks 71 and the limit grooves 72 limits the moving stroke of the movable plate 54, so that the reciprocating motion stroke of the movable plate 54 in the open groove 55 is more precise.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a rubber ring 58 is installed in the wire hole 57. The rubber ring 58 is provided to protect the cable passing through the wire hole 57 to avoid friction between the cable and the inner wall of the wire hole 57, thereby preventing damage to the outside of the cable and affecting the subsequent use of the cable in the layout process.

[0025] Working principle: This device is mainly used for laying cables during data center layout, and is used for retracting and releasing cables. It adopts a handheld method, which is more convenient for retracting and releasing cables. It mainly adopts a drive motor 3 to drive the collecting roller 2 to rotate in different directions to realize the reeling and releasing of cables. At the same time, a wire management mechanism 5 is also provided. In the process of retracting and releasing the cables, the reeling direction of the cables can be adjusted by the provided wire management mechanism 5, and the cables can be controlled to be evenly distributed on the side walls of the collecting roller 2 to avoid the cables being concentrated on the side walls of the collecting roller 2, thereby causing uneven load-bearing of the collecting roller 2 and affecting the connection between the collecting roller 2 and the mounting frame 1.
