[0035] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments in this specification, the embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the content described below are some examples or embodiments of this specification. For those skilled in the art, without creative effort, the technical solutions or means disclosed in this specification can be applied to other scenarios based on this technical content.
[0036] It should be understood that the terms "system," "device," "unit," "component," "building block," and / or "module" used in this specification are a method of distinguishing different components, elements, parts, sections, or assemblies at different levels. However, if other terms can achieve the same purpose, they may be replaced by other expressions.
[0037] Unless otherwise specified, the technical terms used to describe components, elements, etc. in this specification are not singular but may include plural. Generally speaking, terms such as "comprising" or "including" only indicate that explicitly identified steps, elements, or components are included, and these steps, elements, and components do not constitute an exclusive list, as the described method or apparatus may also include other steps or components.
[0038] See Figures 1 to 6 The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of a pull-down cable management box, comprising: two fixedly arranged fixing members 1, an open-topped box body 2 disposed between the two fixing members 1, and a damping pivot 3 connecting the fixing members 1 and the box body 2. The box body 2 has a mounting structure for mounting device components. In some embodiments, it may further include device components detachably fixed to the box body 2 via the mounting structure. Further, in some embodiments, the device component may be a socket component 4. In other embodiments, the device component may be other components. The box body 2 is rotatable downwards relative to the fixing members 1 about a rotation axis, and the damping pivot 3 is located on the rotation axis.
[0039] In some embodiments, the two fixing members 1 can be independent plate structures or interconnected plate structures, such as a U-shaped structure connected by a crossbeam. In some embodiments, the two fixing members 1 can be arranged on the lower surface of the device, such as a desktop, to arrange the entire pull-down cable management box on the lower surface of the device.
[0040] In some related embodiments, cable management devices are typically placed on the upper surface of a device, such as a desktop, causing the cable bundles to extend across the desktop and potentially interfere with other items placed on it. One or more pull-down cable management boxes provided in this specification can be placed on the lower surface of the desktop, allowing the cable bundles to be powered, routed, and organized below the desktop without interfering with the layout above it. In some other embodiments, the pull-down cable management boxes of this specification can also be placed on the lower surface of a partition or top panel in an enclosed space such as a server rack.
[0041] In some related embodiments, cable management devices typically require opening the top cover to maintain the internal cable bundles. The top cover may house a monitor or integrate a wireless charger, requiring the user to clear these items before maintenance can be performed. The one or more pull-down cable management boxes provided in this specification allow direct access to the internal space by pulling down the box body 2, with the pull-down angle positioned via a damping hinge 3.
[0042] Furthermore, one or more pull-down cable management boxes provided in this specification also provide a power supply or socket component 4, which can be a single socket or a power strip, and can supply power to the device and accommodate and lead out the device's wiring harness as well as the wiring harness of the socket or power strip.
[0043] In some embodiments, the housing 2 includes a base plate 20, a first mounting plate 21, and a second mounting plate 22. In some embodiments, the housing 2 may also include a side plate 25 and a front panel 26.
[0044] The first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 together form the rear panel of the box body 2, and the bottom plate 20, the front panel 26, the two side panels 25 and the rear panel together form the box body 2.
[0045] In some embodiments, the front panel 26 is provided with a plurality of front panel slots 261, which can be used for the introduction or exit of wire harnesses, and can also provide space for the user to pull down the box 2 (e.g., in the form of a snap-on slot).
[0046] In one or more embodiments of this specification, a first mounting plate 21 and a second mounting plate 22 are provided at an angle. The first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 are used to mount the socket component 4, and the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 provide different mounting angles to accommodate different directions of wire harness introduction or exit. In some embodiments, the angle between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 can be 25° to 75°, for example, 30° to 60°. Exemplarily, the angle between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 can be 26°, 33°, 45°, 55.2°, 58°, 62°, 73°, or 75°.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first mounting plate 21 is connected to the base plate 20, and the second mounting plate 22 is connected to the first mounting plate 21. In other embodiments, the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 may be distributed on the left and right sides, and both are connected to the base plate 20, while having different angles relative to the base plate 20, so that the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 have different angles.
[0048] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting plate 21 has a first mounting surface 21a and a second mounting surface 21b, wherein the first mounting surface 21a faces the inside of the housing 2 and the second mounting surface 21b faces the outside of the housing 2, and the socket component 4 can be mounted to the first mounting surface 21a and / or the second mounting surface 21b.
[0049] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the second mounting plate 22 has a third mounting surface 22a and a fourth mounting surface 22b, wherein the third mounting surface 22a faces the inside of the housing 2 and the fourth mounting surface 22b faces the outside of the housing 2, and the socket member 4 can be mounted to the third mounting surface 22a and / or the fourth mounting surface 22b.
[0050] In some embodiments, the socket component 4 can be mounted on any one of the first mounting surface 21a, the second mounting surface 21b, the third mounting surface 22a, and the fourth mounting surface 22b.
[0051] In some embodiments, the socket component 4 can be simultaneously mounted on the first mounting surface 21a and the second mounting surface 21b. Further, the socket component 4 can be simultaneously mounted on the first mounting surface 21a, the second mounting surface 21b, and the fourth mounting surface 22b.
[0052] In some embodiments, the socket component 4 can be simultaneously mounted on the third mounting surface 22a and the fourth mounting surface 22b. Further, the socket component 4 can be simultaneously mounted on the third mounting surface 22a, the fourth mounting surface 22b, and the second mounting surface 21b.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first mounting surface 21a and the third mounting surface 22a may have spatial conflicts, so one of the mounting socket components 4 on the first mounting surface 21a or the third mounting surface 22a can be selected according to actual needs (e.g., according to the requirements of the wiring direction inside the housing 2).
[0054] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the box body 2 may not have a top cover plate, and the two fixing members 1 may not have a top cover plate, so that the lower surface of the device, such as the lower surface of the desktop, the lower surface of the top surface of the cabinet, or the lower surface of the partition of the cabinet, can be used as the top cover plate.
[0055] Therefore, in some embodiments, the desktop or partition structure may have holes, and the device wiring harness may be directly introduced into the box 2 from top to bottom through the hole in the desktop. Therefore, the socket component 4 inside the box 2 has an assembly requirement for the introduction angle.
[0056] In some embodiments, the base plate 20 is horizontally arranged, the first mounting plate 21 is arranged at a 45° angle, and the second mounting plate 22 is vertically arranged. The first mounting plate 21 can provide an oblique socket member 4, and the second mounting plate 22 can provide a horizontal socket member 4. The two can be selected according to actual needs.
[0057] In one or more embodiments of this specification, each of the two sides of the first mounting plate 21 is provided with one or more first fixing holes 211 extending along its length direction, and the first fixing holes 211 penetrate the first mounting plate 21 along its thickness direction.
[0058] In one or more embodiments of this specification, each of the two sides of the second mounting plate 22 is provided with one or more second fixing holes 221 extending along its length direction, and the second fixing holes 221 penetrate the second mounting plate 22 along its thickness direction.
[0059] In some embodiments, the first fixing hole 211 and the second fixing hole 221 extend in a generally horizontal direction, and a plurality of first fixing holes 211 or a plurality of second fixing holes 221 are arranged in a generally vertical direction. The elongated fixing holes can adjust the positions of the two ends of the socket member 4, while accommodating socket members 4 of different sizes, such as different lengths.
[0060] In some embodiments, at least one of the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 of the housing 2 is provided with a first wire harness groove 51 for the wire harness to pass through. For example, the first mounting plate 21 may have an independent first wire harness groove 51, the second mounting plate 22 may also have an independent first wire harness groove 51, or the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 may have a first wire harness groove 51 that is interconnected as shown in the figure.
[0061] In one or more embodiments of this specification, the fixing member 1 has a first limiting member, and the box body 2 has a second limiting member that matches the first limiting member; the first limiting member and the second limiting member are configured such that when the box body 2 rotates downward relative to the fixing member 1 to a preset angle, the second limiting member abuts against the first limiting member to prevent the box body 2 from rotating further downward.
[0062] In some embodiments, the fixing member 1 includes: a plate-shaped body 11, a fixing side 12 extending from the upper part of the plate-shaped body 11, and a limiting side 13 extending from the lower part of the plate-shaped body 11, the limiting side 13 providing a first limiting member; the box body 2 includes: a limiting pin 23 fixed to the side of the box body 2, the limiting pin 23 providing a second limiting member.
[0063] The fixed side 12 is used to fix the overall mechanism.
[0064] For example, the plate-shaped body 11 may include a beveled edge on the first mounting plate 21, and a limiting side 13 forms a first limiting member at the beveled edge. When the box body 2 rotates, the limiting pin 23 rotates with the downward rotation of the box body 2 until it abuts against the beveled edge of the limiting side 13.
[0065] In some embodiments, the limiting side 13 is U-shaped and has an angle with the plane where the plate-shaped body 11 is located, for example, the limiting side 13 is perpendicular to the plane where the plate-shaped body 11 is located. In some embodiments, the limiting side 13 covers at least a portion of the lower outer edge of the plate-shaped body 11.
[0066] In some embodiments, the limiting side 13 has a shape that matches the longitudinal section of the box body 2, and the limiting side 13 covers the side of the box body 2 so that the box body 2 has a good appearance when closed. In some embodiments, the limiting side 13 may be slightly larger than the side of the box body 2.
[0067] In one or more embodiments of this specification, the fixing member 1 has a third limiting member, and the box body 2 has a fourth limiting member that matches the third limiting member; the third limiting member and the fourth limiting member are configured such that when the box body is in a closed state relative to the fixing member, the third limiting member and the fourth limiting member cooperate with each other to keep the box body in a closed state.
[0068] In some embodiments, the third limiting member is a hand-tightening screw, and the fourth limiting member is a screw hole. In some embodiments, the housing 2 maintains its current position via a damping pivot 3; for example, when the housing 2 is fully closed, it is maintained in the closed state via the damping pivot 3. In some other embodiments, the interior of the housing 2 may have a relatively large load, in which case it is advisable to maintain the closed position of the housing 2 by arranging hand-tightening screws and corresponding screw holes.
[0069] In some embodiments, the third limiting member is a reset indexing pin 14 disposed on the fixing member 1, and the fourth limiting member is a reset indexing pin hole 24 correspondingly opened on the housing 2. Continuing the previous example, in some other embodiments, the interior of the housing 2 may have a relatively large load. In this case, it is advisable to maintain the closed position of the housing 2 by arranging the reset indexing pin 41 and the corresponding reset indexing pin hole 24.
[0070] In some embodiments, the side of the housing 2 is provided with a second wire harness groove 52, and the fixing member 1 is provided with one or more third wire harness grooves 53 corresponding to the second wire harness groove.
[0071] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second wire harness groove 52 and the third wire harness groove 53 may have different shapes, but the second wire harness groove 52 and the third wire harness groove 53 may at least partially overlap each other so as to lead out the wire harness from the side.
[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
