Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch cable management technology, and in particular to a cable organizer. Background Technology

[0002] The internal structure of a switch contains multiple adapters to meet the connection needs of different network devices. There are also numerous connectors that are tightly plugged into these adapters. To ensure a clean and orderly internal environment and to facilitate future maintenance and management, the switch casing is usually equipped with cable management devices to organize the connector cables. For example... Figure 1 As shown, existing cable management devices typically employ an open design for their cable inlet 2', and its position is mostly located in the center of the cable management port 1'. After the connector is inserted into the adapter, the connector's cable is guided into the cable management device one by one for arrangement. Since the adapter is generally located on the front of the switch housing, and the cable management device is generally located on the side of the switch housing, after the cable is guided into the cable management device, the cable will bend at a certain angle. Due to the inherent rigidity of the cable, under the action of force, the cable tends to pile up on the side away from the adapter (towards...). Figure 1 Taking the orientation shown as an example, the cables are piled up to the right of the cable management port 1'. As the number of cables gradually increases and they pile up near the cable inlet 2', the already organized cables may come loose from the cable inlet 2'.

[0003] Furthermore, when adding cables to the existing cable layout, since the cable inlet 2' is located in the middle of the cable management inlet 1' and the cables are already bundled together, maintenance personnel need to first disassemble all the cables inside the cable management inlet 1', complete the connection and organization of the new cables, and then re-bundle and fix all the cables to restore the original neatness and stability. The process is cumbersome and reduces the maintenance efficiency of the switch.

[0004] Therefore, overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology is an urgent problem to be solved in this technical field. Utility Model Content

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] The embodiment 1 of the present application provides a wire arranging device, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first wire arranging port 10 is provided with a first cable inlet 100, and the first cable inlet 100 is arranged close to the side where the adapter 3 is located. The second wire arranging port 11 is arranged on one side of the wire arranging device 1, and the second wire arranging port 11 is provided with a second cable inlet 110. The second cable inlet 110 is used to accommodate the newly added cable into the second wire arranging port 11.

[0038] In a first aspect, by arranging the first cable entry port 100 at a position close to one side of the first cable management port 10, in the process of accommodating the cable, the cable is accumulated to a side away from the adapter 3, compared with the prior art design of arranging the cable entry port in the middle of the cable management port, arranging the first cable entry port 100 at a position close to one side of the first cable management port 10 reduces the possibility of the cable coming out of the first cable entry port 100; in a second aspect, by arranging the second cable management port 11 at one side of the cable organizer 1, when the switch is maintained, if it is necessary to add a cable, the cable in the first cable management port 10 does not need to be disassembled, and the newly added cable can be placed in the second cable management port 11, which is more convenient to operate and improves the maintenance efficiency of the switch.

[0039] In a first aspect, by arranging the first cable entry port 100 at a position close to one side of the first cable management port 10, in the process of accommodating the cable, the cable is accumulated to a side away from the adapter 3, compared with the prior art design of arranging the cable entry port in the middle of the cable management port, arranging the first cable entry port 100 at a position close to one side of the first cable management port 10 reduces the possibility of the cable coming out of the first cable entry port 100; in a second aspect, by arranging the second cable management port 11 at one side of the cable organizer 1, when the switch is maintained, if it is necessary to add a cable, the cable in the first cable management port 10 does not need to be disassembled, and the newly added cable can be placed in the second cable management port 11, which is more convenient to operate and improves the maintenance efficiency of the switch.

[0040] In order to completely describe the scheme provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the details of the cable organizer 1 in the above scheme will be further described in detail.

[0041] Since the optical fiber cable is thin, if the width of the first cable management port 10 and the second cable management port 11 is narrow or the edge is sharp, the optical fiber cable is easy to be abraded in the process of long-term use, based on this, the edge of the first cable management port 10 is provided with a first protrusion 101, the first protrusion 101 is located at the connection position of the first cable management port 10 and the thin plate beside it, so as to avoid the abrasion of the cable, and the edge of the first protrusion 101 is chamfered. Wherein, the thin plate is a plastic product which needs to ensure uniform material wall thickness in design, and the thin plate is arranged considering the design of the plastic part product.

[0042] In order to prevent the cable from being pulled out of the first cable inlet 100, the first cable organizer 10 is provided with a stop spring 102 at the first cable inlet 100, which is formed by bending the upper edge of the first cable organizer 10 downward. In the preferred embodiment, by providing the stop spring 102 at the first cable inlet 100, the cable stored in the first cable organizer 10 is stopped, further avoiding the cable from being pulled out of the first cable inlet 100. The connection between the stop spring 102 and the upper edge of the first cable organizer 10 is provided with a stop surface 103, which is formed by bending the upper edge of the first cable organizer 10 downward from the horizontal direction. The stop surface 103 extends downward and obliquely to the first cable inlet 100 to form the stop spring 102, which is used to further prevent the cable from being pulled out of the first cable inlet 100. In actual application scenarios, since the cable has a certain rigidity, when the number of cables stored in the first cable organizer 10 gradually increases, the cables will pop up and approach the upper edge of the first cable organizer 10. The stop surface 103 blocks the popped-up cables from approaching the first cable inlet 100, and the stop spring 102 arranged obliquely downward further blocks the movement space of the cables, preventing the cables from being pulled out of the first cable inlet 100. In the preferred embodiment, in order to avoid the opening of the first cable inlet 100 being too large, one of the vertical edges of the first cable organizer 10 is provided with a first inclined surface 104, which forms one side of the first cable inlet 100. The first inclined surface 104 is used to further prevent the cable from being pulled out of the first cable inlet 100. The gap between the first inclined surface 104 and the stop spring 102 forms the first cable inlet 100, which is arranged obliquely to effectively stop the cable.

[0043] As shown in Figure 3 In actual application scenarios, the cable organizer 1 is installed on the shell 2 of the switch, and the cable organizer 1 is installed and fixed with the shell 2 by plugging. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 The shell 2 is provided with a first mounting position 20 and a second mounting position 21. The first mounting position 20 is located at the edge of the shell 2, and the second mounting position 21 is arranged on the vertical surface away from the edge of the shell 2. Figure 5As shown, the wire arranging device 1 is provided with a first clamping block 12 and a second clamping block 13, the first clamping block 12 is clamped with the first installation site 20, and the second clamping block 13 is clamped with the second installation site 21. For the first clamping block 12, the first clamping block 12 comprises a first clamping plate 120 and a first limiting block 121, the first clamping plate 120 is inserted into the first installation site 20, and the first limiting block 121 abuts against the edge of the shell 2; the first limiting block 121 is L-shaped, covering the upper side and the side edge of the first clamping plate 120. As shown in the figure, the first installation site 20 is in the form of a notch for accommodating the first clamping plate 120. For the second clamping block 13, the second clamping block 13 comprises a second clamping plate 130 and a second limiting block 131, the second limiting block 131 is L-shaped, covering the upper side and the side edge of the second clamping plate 130; since the second installation site 21 is located on the vertical surface away from the edge of the shell 2, the second installation site 21 comprises a mounting hole 210 and a notch 211 located below the mounting hole 210, the mounting hole 210 is used for the second limiting block 131 to pass through, the second clamping plate 130 is inserted into the notch 211, and the second limiting block 131 abuts against the edges on both sides of the notch 211. When installing the wire arranging device 1 on the shell 2, first pass the second limiting block 131 through the mounting hole 210, align the first clamping plate 120 with the first installation site 20, align the second clamping plate 130 with the notch 211, and then move the wire arranging device 1 downward, the first clamping plate 120 is inserted into the first installation site 20, and the second clamping plate 130 is inserted into the notch 211, completing the installation of the wire arranging device 1.

[0044] Referring to Figure 2 As shown, in the wire arranging device 1, the second cable inlet 110 on the second wire arranging port 11 is arranged on the side of the wire arranging device 1, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the shell 2 is further provided with a front cover 22, the front cover 22 is connected with the bottom surface in reverse, after the wire arranging device 1 is installed on the shell 2, the front cover 22 abuts against the side edge where the second cable inlet 110 on the wire arranging device 1 is located, thereby closing the second cable inlet 110.

[0045] In order to ensure the reliability of the relative fixation between the wire arranging device 1 and the shell 2, in addition to the first installation site 20 and the second installation site 21, as Figure 5As shown, the wire arranging device 1 is further provided with a first fixing hole 15 and a second fixing hole 16, which are arranged on the bottom surface of the wire arranging device 1 and used to couple with external fixing members to fix the wire arranging device 1 on the shell 2, so as to prevent the wire arranging device 1 from falling off the shell during the transportation or movement of the switch. In an embodiment, the first fixing hole 15 and the second fixing hole 16 are threaded holes, and the external fixing members are screws. The shell 2 is provided with threaded holes or through holes, and the screws are screwed into the first fixing hole 15 and the second fixing hole 16 through the threaded holes or the through holes of the shell 2 to fix the wire arranging device 1 on the shell 2.
