[0002] As the demand for optoelectronic pods increases in the drone market, the functional requirements for these pods also increase. This necessitates improving the performance of sensors and modules within the optical pod. These modules and sensors are connected via cables, which are mostly soldered together.

[0003] However, in related technologies, the cables in the optoelectronic pod are generally not fixed, which can cause the solder joints to loosen or even break as the cables shake, resulting in the module failing to output power properly and thus affecting the normal use of the drone. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a cable bracket for the optical module and an optoelectronic pod, which aims to ensure the stability of the cable solder joints between the cable and the module, so as to ensure the normal use of the UAV.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a cable bracket based on an optical compartment module, comprising:

[0006] A crossbeam 10 is mounted on the surface of the module.

[0007] The crossbeam 10 is provided with a through groove 20, and a cable is attached to the crossbeam 10. The cable is fixed to the crossbeam 10 by a cable tie, and the cable tie passes through the through groove 20.

[0008] In one embodiment, the through groove 20 extends along the extension direction of the crossbeam portion 10.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cable is arranged perpendicular to the crossbeam portion 10.

[0010] In one embodiment, the cable is projected onto the through slot 20.

[0011] In one embodiment, a fixing arm 30 is connected to the crossbeam portion 10 and the fixing arm 30 is connected to the surface of the module so that the crossbeam portion 10 is suspended from the module.

[0012] In one embodiment, one end of the cable is bent and attached to the surface of the module, and the length of the fixing arm 30 is adapted to the bending length of the cable.

[0013] In one embodiment, there are two fixing arms 30, and the two fixing arms 30 are respectively disposed at both ends of the crossbeam portion 10, and the fixing arms 30 are vertically disposed on the fixing arm 30.

[0014] In one embodiment, the end of the fixed arm 30 away from the crossbeam portion 10 is connected to a connecting portion 40, the connecting portion 40 is attached to the surface of the module, and the connecting portion 40 is connected to the module.

[0015] In one embodiment, the connecting part 40 is provided with a connecting hole 50, and the connector passes through the connecting hole 50 and is connected to the module.

[0016] This utility model also proposes an optoelectronic pod, including the optical pod-based internal module cable bracket.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model is to mount a crossbeam on the surface of the module, mount the cable on the crossbeam, and bend the cable and weld it to the connection point on the surface of the module. By passing a cable tie through the through slot and fixing the cable to the crossbeam, the cable is fixed and restricted relative to the module, thereby avoiding the loosening or breakage of the solder joints, which would cause the module to malfunction and thus ensuring the stability of the module.

[0029] As the demand for optoelectronic pods increases in the drone market, the functional requirements for these pods also increase. This necessitates improving the performance of sensors and modules within the optical pod. These modules and sensors are connected via cables, which are mostly soldered together.

[0030] However, in related technologies, the cables in the optoelectronic pod are generally not fixed, which can cause the solder joints to loosen or even break as the cables shake, resulting in the module failing to output power properly and thus affecting the normal use of the drone.

[0031] This utility model proposes a cable bracket based on an optical compartment module.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the optical chamber in-module cable bracket includes:

[0033] A crossbeam 10 is mounted on the surface of the module.

[0034] The crossbeam 10 is provided with a through groove 20, and a cable is attached to the crossbeam 10. The cable is fixed to the crossbeam 10 by a cable tie, and the cable tie passes through the through groove 20.

[0035] It is understood that the crossbeam portion 10 is parallel to the surface of the module so that when multiple cables are connected to the crossbeam portion 10, the multiple cables can be stably placed on the crossbeam portion 10 so that they can be accurately fixed on the crossbeam portion by the cable ties.

[0036] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the fixing of the cable tie to the cable on the crossbeam, the through groove 20 passes through the crossbeam 10, and then after the cable tie is inserted through the through groove 20, the two ends of the cable tie are wrapped around the cable and the cable is fixed to the crossbeam 10, thereby achieving stable fixing of the cable.

[0037] Furthermore, by securing the cable to the crossbeam 10 with cable ties, the cable is prevented from tangling on the crossbeam 10, thereby protecting the module cable and securing the incoming and outgoing lines of the module.

[0038] The technical solution of this utility model is to mount the crossbeam 10 on the surface of the module, mount the cable on the crossbeam 10, and bend the cable and weld it to the connection point on the surface of the module. By passing the cable tie through the through groove 20 and fixing the cable on the crossbeam 10, the cable is fixed and restricted relative to the module, thereby avoiding the loosening or breakage of the solder joint, which would cause the module to malfunction and thus ensuring the stability of the module.

[0039] In one embodiment, the through groove 20 extends along the extension direction of the crossbeam portion 10.

[0040] In order to facilitate the fixing of multiple cables that overlap the crossbeam 10 to the crossbeam 10, the through groove 20 extends along the extension direction of the crossbeam 10.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, multiple cables are spaced apart on the crossbeam 10. Since the through groove 20 is elongated, the multiple cables are spaced apart on the crossbeam 10, which facilitates multiple cable ties to pass through the through groove 20 at the same time to fix the cables.

[0042] It is understood that fixing multiple cables at intervals on the crossbeam 10 allows the cables to be arranged in an orderly manner on the crossbeam 10, thereby reducing the proportion of the cables in the surrounding space and facilitating the routing of other cables, thus ensuring the orderly arrangement of the cables in the optoelectronic pod.

[0043] In one embodiment, the cable is arranged perpendicular to the crossbeam portion 10.

[0044] To facilitate the bundling of the cable with cable ties, the cable is arranged perpendicular to the crossbeam 10, that is, the cable is arranged perpendicular to the through groove 20.

[0045] It is understandable that, since the cable is arranged to cross the through groove 20, the cable tie is passed through the through groove 20, passes around the cable and the crossbeam 10, and then fixes the cable on the crossbeam 10, thereby improving the efficiency of cable bundling.

[0046] In one embodiment, the cable is projected onto the through slot 20.

[0047] It is understood that the cable is projected onto the through groove 20, so that the through groove 20 and the cable can be intersected, thereby facilitating the binding of the cable tie.

[0048] In one embodiment, a fixing arm 30 is connected to the crossbeam portion 10 and the fixing arm 30 is connected to the surface of the module so that the crossbeam portion 10 is suspended from the module.

[0049] It should be noted that when the cable is laid on the module, the cable needs to be bent to facilitate soldering. However, there is a possibility that the required bending radius of the cable cannot be reached, which may damage the cable.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the suspension of the crossbeam 10 above the module, the fixing arm 30 supports the crossbeam 10 on the surface of the module.

[0051] It is understood that the crossbeam 10 is suspended above the module surface by the fixing arm 30, the cable is attached to the crossbeam 10, and then one end of the cable is bent and attached to the module surface and soldered to the connection point of the module. The length of the fixing arm 30 provides space for bending the cable, thereby avoiding excessive bending of the cable and damage to the cable.

[0052] Furthermore, the crossbeam 10 is suspended above the module by the fixing arm 30, and the cable is fixed to the crossbeam 10 by cable ties. The cable is bent and fits against the surface of the module and is connected to the connection point of the module. In this way, the suspended crossbeam 10 reasonably constrains the cable arrangement without affecting the overall wiring distribution inside the optoelectronic pod, ensuring the orderliness of the cables inside the optoelectronic pod.

[0053] In one embodiment, one end of the cable is bent and attached to the surface of the module, and the length of the fixing arm 30 is adapted to the bending length of the cable.

[0054] It should be noted that the optoelectronic pod uses cables of various materials, and different cables require different bending radii. Therefore, it is necessary to set up fixed arms of different lengths to avoid the bracket taking up too much space.

[0055] It is understandable that by changing the height of the fixing arm 30, the bending radius of the cable can be adapted, avoiding the fixing arm 30 being too high or too low from affecting the bending of the cable and ensuring the safety of the cable.

[0056] In one embodiment, there are two fixing arms 30, and the two fixing arms 30 are respectively disposed at both ends of the crossbeam portion 10, and the fixing arms 30 are vertically disposed on the fixing arm 30.

[0057] To ensure the stability of the crossbeam 10 on the module surface, two crossbeams are provided at each end of the crossbeam 10, thereby relying on the two fixed arms 30 to stably suspend the crossbeam 10 on the module surface.

[0058] It is understood that when multiple cables are connected to the crossbeam 10, the cable ties fix the cables to the crossbeam 10 and are stably fixed to the module surface by the two fixing arms 30, ensuring that the crossbeam 10 can stably support the cables, preventing the cables from moving and affecting the stability of the solder joint connection, and also supporting the cables in an orderly manner to ensure the neatness of the cable routing in the optoelectronic pod.

[0059] In one embodiment, the end of the fixed arm 30 away from the crossbeam portion 10 is connected to a connecting portion 40, the connecting portion 40 is attached to the surface of the module, and the connecting portion 40 is connected to the module.

[0060] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in order to improve the efficiency and stability of the connection between the fixed arm 30 and the module surface, the connecting part 40 is connected to one end of the fixed arm, and one side of the connecting part 40 is attached to the module surface.

[0061] It is understood that the connecting part 40 is connected to the side of the fixed arm 30 and extends toward the other fixed arm 30. By increasing the contact area between the fixed arm 30 and the module, the stability of the connection between the connecting part 40 and the module is improved.

[0062] In one embodiment, the connecting part 40 is provided with a connecting hole 50, and the connector passes through the connecting hole 50 and is connected to the module.

[0063] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the connection between the connecting part 40 and the surface of the module, a connecting hole 50 is provided on the connecting part 40, and the connector passes through the connecting hole 50 and is connected to the module.

[0064] It should be noted that the connector is a screw, which passes through the connecting hole 50 and is connected to the module, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting part 40 and the module.

[0065] Moreover, the connector is a screw, and the screw used is the same as other screws in the module, thereby reducing material selection costs.

[0066] This utility model also proposes a photoelectric pod, which includes the optical pod-based internal module cable bracket. The specific structure of the optical pod-based internal module cable bracket is as described in the above embodiments. Since this photoelectric pod adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0067] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
