Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable shaping technology, and more specifically, relates to a cable clamp. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, it is very common for cables with connectors to connect to devices electrically or for signals. Connectors are typically inserted inside or at the rear of the device housing, thus limiting the space available for the cables. After insertion, the cable at the rear end usually needs to be bent, and when multiple connectors are inserted into a device, the cables are generally bent in the same direction and bundled together for cable management. However, this method of connector insertion and cable management often results in significant skew stress on the connectors when inserted into the device due to cable bending, which can easily lead to poor connector contact. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a cable clamp that solves the problem that when cables are bent and plugged in, the connector is subjected to large skew stress, which can easily lead to poor contact of the connector.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cable clamp, comprising:
[0005] A first clamping part and a second clamping part are connected in an openable manner. At least one of the first clamping part and the second clamping part is provided with a receiving groove. The receiving groove is capable of accommodating a section of cable when the first clamping part and the second clamping part are in a snap-fit state. A cable outlet is formed at each end of the receiving groove, and the opening directions of the two cable outlets form an included angle.
[0006] Optionally, the first clamping part is connected to the second clamping part via a flexible connecting part.
[0007] Optionally, it also includes a snap-fit structure, through which the first clamping part and the second clamping part can be snapped together.
[0008] Optionally, it also includes a guide structure that provides guidance when the first clamping part and the second clamping part are engaged.
[0009] Optionally, the snap-fit structure includes a protrusion and a retaining ring respectively disposed on the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion, wherein a fastening hole is formed inside the retaining ring portion, and the protrusion is embedded in the fastening hole.
[0010] Optionally, the guide structure includes a guide post and a guide groove respectively disposed on the first clamping part and the second clamping part, the outer end of the guide post is provided with a chamfer, and the guide post and the guide groove are inserted into each other.
[0011] Optionally, both the first clamping part and the second clamping part are plate-shaped structures. At least one first groove and at least one second groove are respectively provided on one side of the first clamping part and one side of the second clamping part. The first groove and the second groove form the receiving groove when the first clamping part and the second clamping part are in a snap-fit state.
[0012] Optionally, the first groove and the second groove are L-shaped grooves.
[0013] Optionally, at least one protruding partition is provided at each end of the first groove and the second groove, the partition dividing the cable outlet into at least two cable holes, each cable hole being able to accommodate one cable.
[0014] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the cable hole matches the cross-sectional shape of the cable.
[0015] This utility model provides a cable clamp, which has the following advantages: The cable clamp has a first clamping part and a second clamping part that can be opened and closed. The snapping of the first clamping part and the second clamping part can restrict a section of cable in its receiving groove, and the cable extends out of the cable clamp from the cable outlets at both ends of the receiving groove. Since the opening directions of the cable outlets at both ends of the receiving groove form an angle, the cable in the cable clamp can be bent. When the connector on the cable wearing the cable clamp is plugged into the device, the cable clamp can effectively reduce the skew stress on the connector due to the limiting of the bent part of the cable, effectively avoid poor contact of the connector, and improve the stability of the plugging.

[0022] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a cable clamp, comprising:
[0024] The first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are closable. At least one of the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 is provided with a receiving groove. The receiving groove can accommodate a section of cable 3 when the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are in a snap-fit state. A cable outlet is formed at each end of the receiving groove, and the opening directions of the two cable outlets form an angle.
[0025] Specifically, to address the problem in existing technologies where the connector experiences significant skew stress after the cable 3 is bent and plugged in, leading to poor connector contact, the cable clamp provided by this invention has an openable and closable first clamping part 1 and a second clamping part 2. The snapping of the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 can confine a section of cable 3 within its receiving groove, and the cable 3 extends out of the cable clamp from the cable outlets at both ends of the receiving groove. Since the opening directions of the cable outlets at both ends of the receiving groove form an angle, the cable 3 inside the cable clamp can be bent. When the connector on the cable 3 wearing the cable clamp is plugged into the device, the cable clamp's limitation on the bent part of the cable 3 can effectively reduce the skew stress on the connector, effectively avoid poor connector contact, and improve the stability of the plugging.
[0026] Optionally, the first clamping part 1 is connected to the second clamping part 2 via the flexible connecting part 4.
[0027] Specifically, the two ends of the flexible connecting part 4 are respectively connected to the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2.

By setting the snap-fit structure, the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 can be snapped together in the snap-fit state, and their snap-fit state can be stably maintained.
[0032] Optionally, it also includes a guide structure that provides guidance when the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are engaged.
[0033] Specifically, the guide structure is connected to the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2. By setting the guide structure, it is possible to provide guidance for the relative positional relationship between the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 during the fastening process, guide the two to fasten according to the set path, and ensure the stability of the fastening state and the stability of the snap-fit structure.
[0034] Optionally, the snap-fit structure includes a protrusion 5 and a retaining ring 6 respectively provided on the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2, the retaining ring 6 having a snap-fit hole 7 inside, and the protrusion 5 engaging with the snap-fit hole 7.
[0035] Specifically, the protrusion 5 is a protruding structure at the end of the first clamping part 1, and the retaining ring part 6 is a laterally extending structure at the end of the second clamping part 2. When the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are engaged, the retaining ring part 6 extends to the end face of the first clamping part 1, and the protrusion 5 is engaged in the fastening hole 7 in the middle of the retaining ring part 6 to achieve engagement.
[0036] Optionally, the guide structure includes a guide post 9 and a guide groove 8 respectively disposed on the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2. The outer end of the guide post 9 is provided with a chamfer 10, and the guide post 9 and the guide groove 8 are inserted into each other.
[0037] Specifically, the guide groove 8 is a recessed structure located in the second clamping part 2, and the guide post 9 is a laterally extending structure located on one side of the first clamping part 1. When the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are fastened together, the protrusion 5 can be smoothly inserted into the guide groove 8 through the setting of its outer end chamfer 10, and as the fastening process progresses, the guide post 9 is gradually fully inserted into the guide groove 8, thereby realizing the fastening guidance and limiting function of the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2.
[0038] Optionally, both the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are plate-shaped structures. At least one first groove 11 and at least one second groove 12 are respectively provided on one side of the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2.

The first groove 11 and the second groove 12 are connected to form a receiving groove, which is used to accommodate the cable 3 and to form a fixed restriction on the bending part of the cable 3.
[0040] Optionally, the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 are L-shaped grooves.
[0041] Specifically, the L-shaped first groove 11 and the second groove 12, when engaged, form a curved receiving groove, the curved shape of which matches the shape of the bent portion of the cable 3.
[0042] Optionally, at least one protruding partition 13 is provided at each end of the first groove 11 and the second groove 12. The partition 13 divides the cable outlet into at least two cable holes 14, each of which can accommodate one cable 3.
[0043] Specifically, the partition 13 can subdivide the internal space of the receiving slot, with each space accommodating one cable 3, ensuring the shaping and limiting effect of the cable 3.
[0044] In this embodiment, the axes of the cable holes 14 located at both ends of the receiving groove form a 90° angle.
[0045] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the cable hole 14 matches the cross-sectional shape of the cable 3.
[0046] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the cable hole 14 can be set according to the cross-sectional shape of the clamped cable 3, so that the cable clamp can better fit the clamped cable 3 and improve the shaping and limiting effect of the cable 3.
