Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable storage, and in particular to a limiting mechanism and a quick-access test cable reel. Background Technology

[0002] In various testing environments, cables are used very frequently as an important medium for connecting equipment, transmitting data and power; however, traditional cable management methods usually involve simple coils or random winding, which have many drawbacks.

[0003] Traditional simple cable reels have a simple structure, consisting only of a basic disc and a central shaft. They lack effective cable fixing and separation designs, which makes it easy for cables to become tangled and knotted during storage and use. This not only affects the appearance but also greatly increases the time required to untangle the knots when using them again, seriously reducing work efficiency. This problem is particularly prominent in test environments where cables need to be used and replaced frequently. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing cables lack effective fixation after collection, which makes the cables prone to tangling.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a limiting mechanism, which includes a stop unit provided on the side wall of the take-up box. The stop unit includes a gear plate that rotates synchronously with the shaft of the take-up box, a positioning member that passes through the side wall of the take-up box, and a gear plate for fixing the positioning member.

[0006] The positioning element limits the toothed disc, thereby fixing the position of the wound cable.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the limiting mechanism of this utility model: the braking unit further includes a hinge seat disposed on the outer wall of the take-up box, a handle rotatable along the hinge seat, a spring clip disposed on the outer wall of the take-up box for fixing the position of the handle, and a cam disposed at the end of the handle and linked with the positioning member.

[0008] The cable take-up box has an internal cavity, and the positioning member passes through the cavity and extends to its outer side.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the limiting mechanism of this utility model: the positioning member includes a fixing rod, a spring disposed on the outside of the fixing rod, and a fixing block disposed at the end of the fixing rod;

[0010] One end of the spring abuts against the end face of the fixing block, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the cavity of the take-up box;

[0011] The fixing block is enabled by the spring to extend its end to the outside of the take-up box.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the limiting mechanism of this utility model: the cam includes an abutting surface disposed on its side wall.

[0013] The contact surface abuts against the end face of the fixing block, thereby enabling the handle to be in a vertical position.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the limiting mechanism of this utility model: the end of the cam abuts against the end face of the fixed block, and the end of the fixed rod is inserted into the tooth gap of the gear disc;

[0015] The end of the fixing rod is away from the inside of the tooth gap of the toothed disc.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the limiting mechanism described in this utility model: the handle is close to the outside of the take-up box.

[0017] The grip can be engaged inside the spring clip, thereby limiting the position of the grip.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the positioning component can limit the toothed disc, thereby fixing the cable wrapped around the outside of the shaft during the cable winding and unwinding process, ensuring that the cable winding and unwinding process is more neat and avoiding the cable from getting tangled or knotted, making it more convenient for the staff to operate.

[0019] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing cable winding process is slow and easily becomes tangled.

[0020] The above-mentioned technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a quick-access test cable reel, which includes a cover plate that covers the top of the cable take-up box.

[0021] The cover plate includes a protrusion on its top, and the bottom of the cable take-up box has a slot, the protrusion being adapted to the slot.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the quick-rewinding test cable reel of this utility model: a spring plate is provided on the outside of the take-up box shaft, and the spring plate releases elastic potential energy to drive the cable wound on its outside to be wound into the inside of the take-up box.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the rapid storage test reel of this utility model: during the release of elastic potential energy by the spring sheet, it can drive the toothed disc to rotate synchronously.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: after the cable is stretched to both sides, it needs to be wound up; firstly, the limiting position of the toothed disc needs to be released, and then the elastic potential energy is released through the spring plate, which can drive the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the cable can be quickly wound around the outside of the rotating shaft, thus making it easier for the staff to complete the winding of the cable.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0033] The terminology used in this invention refers to those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functionality of this invention; however, these terms may vary according to the intent, precedent, or new technology of those skilled in the art. Furthermore, specific terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of this invention. Therefore, the terminology used in this specification should not be construed as simple names, but rather based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of this invention.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides a limiting mechanism, including a stop unit 2 provided on the side wall of the take-up box 11. The stop unit 2 includes a toothed disc 24 that rotates synchronously with the shaft of the take-up box 11, a positioning member 25 that passes through the side wall of the take-up box 11, and a toothed disc 24 for fixing the positioning member 25. The positioning member 25 limits the toothed disc 24, thereby fixing the position of the wound cable.

[0035] In this embodiment, the take-up box 11 is a box-shaped structure with a certain internal space, which can provide sufficient space for the cable to be wound up. During the winding process, the rotating shaft inside the take-up box 11 can wrap the cable around its outside. During the rotation of the rotating shaft, the toothed disc 24 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft. The positioning member 25 limits the toothed disc 24, thereby fixing the position of the cable, so as to ensure that the cable can be neatly wound around the outside of the rotating shaft, thus making it easier for the staff to organize the cable.

[0036] It should be noted that the toothed disc 24 is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are movably connected to the take-up box 11, so that the rotating shaft can rotate inside the take-up box 11; by rotating the rotating shaft, the cable can be neatly wound inside the take-up box 11.

[0037] Furthermore, after the cable is wound up to the appropriate length, the position of the toothed disc 24 is limited by the positioning component 25, which can better ensure that the cable outside the shaft is fixed inside the take-up box 11, thereby preventing the cable from getting tangled or knotted during the winding and winding process, and making it easier for the staff to perform the next winding and winding operation.

[0038] In summary, the combination of the toothed disc 24 and the positioning component 25 can better fix the position of the cable, thereby effectively preventing the cable from getting tangled and knotted, and making it easier for staff to reel in and unwind the cable next time.

[0039] refer to Figure 2 - Figure 5 As an optional embodiment, the stop unit 2 also includes a hinge seat 21 disposed on the outer wall of the take-up box 11, a handle 22 rotatable along the hinge seat 21, a spring clip 23 disposed on the outer wall of the take-up box 11 for fixing the position of the handle 22, and a cam 26 disposed at the end of the handle 22 and linked with the positioning member 25; the take-up box 11 has a cavity inside, and the positioning member 25 passes through the cavity and extends to its outer side.

[0040] In this embodiment, the hinge seat 21 is welded and fixed to the take-up box 11, and the hinge seat 21 has a shaft hole that matches the handle 22. The handle 22 rotates along the axis of the shaft hole. A spring clip 23 is also welded and fixed to the side wall of the take-up box 11. When the spring clip 23 is squeezed, it will flip to one side. When it is not squeezed by external force, the spring clip 23 will reset and be inserted into the outer wall of the handle 22, thereby limiting the position of the handle 22.

[0041] It should be noted that the cam 26 is welded and fixed to the grip 22, and the end of the cam 26 abuts against the end of the positioning member 25. During the flipping process of the grip 22, the end of the cam 26 will press against the end of the positioning member 25, thereby causing the positioning member 25 to move towards the gear plate 24.

[0042] Furthermore, the take-up box 11 has a cavity on its side wall, and the cavity provides appropriate space for the positioning member 25 to be installed, thereby ensuring that both ends of the positioning member 25 can penetrate the side wall of the take-up box 11 and extend to both sides; one end extends to the outer wall of the take-up box 11, and the other end extends to the inner wall of the take-up box 11.

[0043] refer to Figure 2 - Figure 5 In one embodiment provided in this application, the positioning member 25 includes a fixing rod 251, a spring 252 disposed on the outside of the fixing rod 251, and a fixing block 253 disposed at the end of the fixing rod 251; one end of the spring 252 abuts against the end face of the fixing block 253, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the cavity of the cable take-up box 11; the fixing block 253 is able to extend its end to the outside of the cable take-up box 11 by means of the spring 252.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fixing rod 251 consists of a rod part and a head. The rod part of the fixing rod 251 is located inside the cavity of the take-up box 11, and the head of the fixing rod 251 extends through the inside of the take-up box 11. The head of the fixing rod 251 can be adapted to the tooth gap of the toothed disc 24. By inserting the head of the fixing rod 251 into the tooth gap, the toothed disc 24 can be limited.

[0045] It should be noted that the spring 252 is located inside the cavity, with one end of the spring 252 abutting against the inner wall of the cavity and the other end abutting against the end face of the fixing block 253. During this process, the elastic potential energy of the spring 252 is relatively small. The spring 252 pushes the head of the fixing rod 251 to move away from the gear plate 24, thereby enabling the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0046] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment provided in this application, the cam 26 includes an abutment surface 261 disposed on its side wall, the abutment surface 261 abutting against the end face of the fixing block 253, thereby enabling the grip 22 to be in a vertical state.

[0047] In this embodiment, the cam 26 is welded and fixed to the handle 22, and the position of the cam 26 protrudes out of the rectangular trajectory of the handle 22; the cam 26 rotates synchronously with the handle 22, and when the spring 252 pushes the head of the fixing rod 251 away from the toothed disc 24, the rotating shaft inside the take-up box 11 can rotate.

[0048] Furthermore, during the release of elastic potential energy by the spring 252, the end face of the fixing block 253 extends to the outside of the take-up box 11. Then, as the handle 22 flips, the contact surface 261 comes into contact with the fixing block 253. The fixing block 253 then comes into contact with the contact surface 261, thereby limiting the cam 26 through the fixing block 253, so that the handle 22 is in a state perpendicular to the outer wall of the take-up box 11. Then, the operator can easily move the take-up box 11 after winding by grasping the handle 22.

[0049] It should be noted that when the fixing block 253 is in contact with the contact surface 261, the toothed disc 24 is no longer restricted. At this time, the cable can be retracted and extended. In addition, the staff can better determine the locking status of the toothed disc 24 by observing the status of the handle 22.

[0050] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the end of the cam 26 abuts against the end face of the fixing block 253, and the end of the fixing rod 251 is inserted into the tooth gap of the toothed disk 24; the end of the fixing rod 251 is away from the tooth gap of the toothed disk 24.

[0051] In this embodiment, flipping the handle 22 can drive the cam 26 to rotate, thereby causing the end of the cam 26 to gradually press against the end face of the fixing block 253. As the angle of the handle 22 flipping gradually increases, the handle 22 gets closer to the outside of the take-up box 11. When the handle 22 contacts the take-up box 11, the end of the cam 26 pushes the positioning member 25 to move towards the toothed disc 24, thereby causing the head of the fixing rod 251 to insert into the tooth gap of the toothed disc 24, thereby achieving the limiting of the toothed disc 24.

[0052] It should be noted that the fixed block 253 is squeezed by the end of the cam 26, which causes the spring 252 to be in a compressed state. The spring 252 is located inside the cavity and stores compressed energy.

[0053] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As an optional embodiment, the handle 22 is placed close to the outside of the cable reel box 11, and the handle 22 can be snapped into the inside of the spring clip 23, thereby limiting the position of the handle 22.

[0054] In this embodiment, the handle 22 is flipped so that it is close to the side wall of the cable take-up box 11, and then the outer wall of the handle 22 is adapted to the spring clip 23. During the flipping process of the handle 22 towards the spring clip 23, the handle 22 first squeezes the spring clip 23 to open it to one side, and then after flipping to the appropriate position, the spring clip 23 resets and locks the handle 22 inside it. The handle 22 can be limited by the spring clip 23.

[0055] It should be noted that after the position of the grip 22 is fixed, the position of the cam 26 can be fixed, and the cam 26 pushes the positioning part 25 to move. After the cam 26 is fixed, the position of the gear plate 24 can be fixed; thereby positioning the cable wound on the outside of the shaft, effectively preventing the cable from getting tangled and twisted due to lack of limit.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 This embodiment provides a quick-access test cable reel, including a cover plate 12 that covers the cable take-up box 11. The cover plate 12 includes a protrusion 121 on its top and a slot 111 on the bottom of the cable take-up box 11, with the protrusion 121 and the slot 111 being adapted to each other.

[0057] In this embodiment, the cover plate 12 and the cable take-up box 11 are fixed by bolts. The cable take-up box 11 is a box-shaped structure with an open top, and the top of the cover plate 12 is provided with a protrusion 121 that matches the bottom slot 111 of the cable take-up box 11. The protrusion 121 can be inserted into the slot 111, so that multiple sets of cable take-up boxes 11 can be stacked together, which makes it easier for staff to use multiple sets of cables. This effectively prevents the cable take-up box from taking up too much space during placement, causing inconvenience for staff during cleaning.

[0058] It should be noted that the combination of cover plate 12 and cable take-up box 11 makes it easier for staff to assemble the cable take-up box. When multiple cables need to be placed, it makes it easier for staff to operate and further improves the efficiency of staff.

[0059] Furthermore, the engagement between the protrusion 121 and the groove 111 can be achieved by using a locking block and a locking slot to engage the protrusion 121 into the groove 111. Through the engagement between the locking block and the locking slot, the positions of the two sets of cable take-up boxes can be fixed, making the entire device more stable during use.

[0060] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In one embodiment provided in this application, a spring plate 13 is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft of the take-up box 11. The spring plate 13 releases elastic potential energy to drive the cable wound on its outside to be wound into the inside of the take-up box 11. During the process of releasing elastic potential energy, the spring plate 13 can drive the toothed disc 24 to rotate synchronously.

[0061] In this embodiment, the spring plate 13 is disposed on the outside of the rotating shaft inside the take-up box 11. By releasing elastic potential energy through the spring plate 13, the cable can be effectively wound up. Under normal conditions, the elastic potential energy of the spring plate 13 is small, and the cable is located inside the take-up box 11. Then, when the cable is released out of the take-up box, the cable gradually squeezes the spring plate 13 inward, and the spring plate 13 drives the rotating shaft to rotate synchronously. During this process, the spring plate 13 is in a compressed energy storage state.

[0062] It should be noted that when the operator needs to move the device, flipping the handle 22 causes the contact surface 261 to contact the end face of the fixing block 253. Then, the elastic potential energy released by the spring 252 can limit the contact surface 261, thereby ensuring that the handle 22 is perpendicular to the outer wall of the take-up box 11. At the same time, the spring 252 also pushes the head of the fixing rod 251 away from the toothed disc 24, thereby releasing the limitation on the toothed disc 24. Then, the spring plate 13 releases elastic potential energy, which can wind the cable around the outside of the spring plate 13. At this time, the operator can grab the handle 22 to carry the take-up box for movement. At this time, the cable is wound inside the take-up box 11, ensuring the neatness of the cable and making it more convenient for the operator to work.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of this utility model.

[0064] Importantly, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
