Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In modern communication systems, especially in the deployment of wireless access points (APs), hybrid fiber optic cables and pigtails are widely used for data transmission and signal connection. However, in practical engineering, the installation and storage of hybrid fiber optic cables and pigtails face many challenges. For example, in related technologies, APs are installed on building walls or interior ceilings using brackets. However, these brackets cannot accommodate the hybrid fiber optic cables connected to the APs, resulting in messy, hanging cables that occupy a lot of space and affect aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a cable storage base and cable management box to improve the problem that the bracket cannot store the optical and electrical hybrid cable connected to the AP, resulting in messy and hanging cables.

[0006] When using the cable organizer provided in this embodiment to store cables for connection to the AP, the cable organizer can be fixed to the bearing surface, and the end face of the coil assembly away from the substrate can be made to abut against the bearing surface, thereby forming a receiving space with the substrate and bearing surface as limiting surfaces and the coil assembly as the spool. The cable for connection to the AP can then be wound onto the coil assembly. During the process of winding the cable for connection to the AP onto the coil assembly, the coil assembly acts as a spool; the cable will fall due to gravity, and the substrate serves to catch the cable wound onto the coil assembly, thereby reducing the possibility of the cable wound onto the coil assembly falling off the cable organizer.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0044] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cable storage base 100 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown, which also shows screws L for mounting the cable storage base 100 to a bearing surface (e.g., a building wall or an interior ceiling). The mounting of the cable storage base 100 on the bearing surface will be described later. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 The cable tray 100 is shown in another structural diagram from a different angle, where screws for mounting the cable tray 100 to the bearing surface are not shown. Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a cable organizer 100 according to an embodiment of this application, where a cable 400 is stored. It is worth noting that only a portion of the cable 400 near the edge of the substrate 1 is shown in the diagram; the portion of the cable 400 wound around the coil assembly 2 is not shown. In practical applications, the cable 400 is typically wound around the coil assembly 2 and gradually extends towards the edge of the substrate. Please refer to... Figures 1-3 This application provides a cable storage holder 100 including a substrate 1 and a cable coil assembly 2. The substrate 1 has a first surface a and a second surface b opposite to each other in the thickness direction D of the substrate 1. The cable coil assembly 2 is disposed on the first surface a and located in the middle of the first surface a. The end face of the cable coil assembly 2 facing away from the substrate 1 is used to face the bearing surface. It is worth noting that the cable coil assembly 2 being located in the middle of the first surface a does not mean that the cable coil assembly 2 can only be located at the center of the first surface a in a narrow sense. Rather, it should be interpreted broadly that as long as there is a gap between the cable coil assembly 2 and the edge of the substrate 1, the cable coil assembly 2 can be located in the center of the first surface a or in a non-center position.

[0045] When using the cable organizer 100 provided in this embodiment to store the cable 400 for connection with the AP, the cable organizer 100 can be fixed to the bearing surface, and the end face of the coil assembly 2 away from the base plate 1 can be made to abut against the bearing surface, thereby forming a receiving space with the base plate 1 and the bearing surface as limiting surfaces and the coil assembly 2 as the spool. The cable 400 for connection with the AP can then be wound around the coil assembly 2. During the process of winding the cable 400 for connection with the AP onto the coil assembly 2, the coil assembly 2 acts as a spool; the cable 400 will fall due to gravity, and the base plate 1 serves to catch the cable 400 wound around the coil assembly 2, thereby reducing the possibility of the cable 400 detaching from the cable organizer 100. The arrangement of the coil assembly 2 and the base plate 1 allows the operator to wind and fix the cable 400 simultaneously without having to do so, enabling them to wind the cable 400 onto the cable organizer 100 with one hand. This makes cable storage more convenient, improves the installation experience, and reduces costs.

[0046] In some embodiments, the edge of the first surface a is provided with a first limiting portion 11 extending in a direction away from the second surface b (see...). Figure 3 (As indicated in the text), the cable reel assembly 2 and the first limiting part 11 together define the cable reel area, and the first limiting part 11 is used to limit the cable movement. Please refer to... Figure 4 In the thickness direction D of the substrate 1, the size L2 of the first limiting part 11 is smaller than the size L1 of the coil assembly 2, so as to facilitate the cable being coiled onto the coil assembly 2 and to facilitate the installation of the cable storage seat 100 on the bearing surface. The first limiting part 11 can act as a cable stopper, preventing the cable 400 from popping out of the cable storage seat 100, and making it less likely for the cable 400 wound on the coil assembly 2 to fall off, and the stored cable 400 occupies less space. In addition, in the cable storage seat 100 provided in this embodiment, the first limiting part 11 fits the winding path of the cable, and when the cable is wound for the second turn or more, the overlapping point of the cable 400 can enter and exit smoothly.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the size L2 of the first limiting portion 11 in the thickness direction D of the substrate 1 may also be greater than or equal to the size L1 of the coil assembly 2.

[0048] In specific implementation, the first limiting part 11 can be integrally formed with the substrate 1; the first limiting part 11 and the substrate 1 can also be separate components connected by snap-fit ​​or connector.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 4In some implementations, the first limiting part 11 includes multiple baffles 111, which are spaced apart along the edge of the substrate 1. It is easy to understand that, in the thickness direction D of the substrate 1, the dimension L2 of the baffles 111 is smaller than the dimension L1 of the coil assembly 2, so that the cable receiving seat 100 can be smoothly installed on the bearing surface and the cable 400 can be coiled onto the coil assembly 2. To better block the cable 400, in some embodiments, the multiple baffles 111 are evenly distributed along the edge of the substrate 1 to provide better blocking for the cable.

[0050] In some implementations, a second limiting part 12 is connected between any two adjacent retaining walls 111 along the edge direction of the substrate 1. The second limiting part 12 is connected to the substrate 1, and in the thickness direction of the substrate, the size L4 of the second limiting part 12 is smaller than the size L3 of the first limiting part 11. The second limiting part 12 can provide a certain degree of obstruction to the cable 400 wound on the coil assembly 2 without affecting the cable 400 winding on the coil assembly 2, thereby reducing the possibility of the cable 400 detaching from the cable storage seat 100. In order to reduce the impact of the cable storage seat 100 on the performance of the cable 400, in specific implementations, the connection between each second limiting part 12 and each retaining wall 111 can be chamfered or rounded, that is, the second limiting part 12 and the retaining wall 111 are smoothly transitioned.

[0051] Please return Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some implementations, a first protrusion 13A is formed on the first surface a, around the outer periphery of the coil assembly 2, and a plurality of second protrusions 13B are formed on the second surface b. The orthographic projection of each second protrusion 13B on the first surface a is within the range of the orthographic projection of the first protrusion 13A on the first surface a. At least one second protrusion 13B corresponds to at least one through hole 131, that is, one or more second protrusions 13B may each correspond to at least one through hole 131. Specifically, the through hole 131 extends from the second protrusion 13B through the first protrusion 13A, and the through hole 131 is used to connect to an external structure through a fastener and to accommodate the fastener. The first surface a is used to support the cable. If the fastener is exposed on the first surface a, it will interfere with the coiling of the cable when it is wound around the coil assembly 2. In this embodiment, accommodating the fastener in the through hole 131 can prevent the fastener from being exposed on the first surface a and interfering with the storage of the cable 400. For example, in the thickness direction of the substrate, the size of the first boss 13A is equal to the size of the second limiting portion 12.

[0052] It is worth noting that the external structure 300 mentioned in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the AP. The following description uses the case where the external structure 300 is the AP as an example.

[0053] In some implementations, the cable tray 100 includes a positioning feedback element 14 disposed on the substrate 1 for providing feedback after the external structure 300 (e.g., AP) reaches a predetermined position on the cable tray 100, thereby enabling the operator to know that the external structure 300 has been installed in place, making the installation of the external structure 300 on the cable tray 100 easier.

[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the through hole 131 includes a first hole 1311 and a second hole 1312 sequentially arranged in the direction from the first surface a to the second surface b. The orthographic projection of the second hole 1312 on the first surface a is within the range of the orthographic projection of the first hole 1311 on the first surface a. The second hole 1312 is a gourd-shaped hole, and the arrangement direction of the large and small holes of each gourd-shaped hole is the same. Figure 1 Taking the cable storage base shown as an example, the large and small holes of each gourd-shaped hole are arranged sequentially along direction B. The first direction A is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the large and small holes and perpendicular to the thickness direction of the substrate 1; for example... Figure 2 As shown, at least one of the gourd-shaped holes is an extended hole, and a clearance hole 1313 is provided on one side of the extended hole in the first direction. The clearance hole 1313 communicates with the corresponding large hole. The positioning feedback component 14 includes an elastic plate 141 and a guide block 142. The elastic plate 141 is located between the extended hole and the clearance hole 1313 and extends in the direction B from the large hole of the gourd-shaped hole to the small hole. Obviously, there are gaps on both sides of the elastic plate 141 in the first direction A. That is, in Figure 2 From the viewing angle, there are gaps on both the left and right sides of the elastic plate 141. One end of the elastic plate 141 is connected to the base plate 1, and the other end of the elastic plate 141 is connected to the guide block 142. The guide block 142 is used to guide the fixing member into the small hole of the gourd hole, and the guide block 142 can limit the fixing member after it has moved into place.

[0055] Taking the cable storage base 100 provided in this embodiment as an example for installing an access point (AP) onto an indoor ceiling and storing the cable 400 connected to the AP, in some embodiments, the aforementioned fixing component is a lug screw. To install the AP onto the cable storage base 100, the screw head and part of the screw rod of the lug screw are inserted into the large hole of the gourd hole from the second surface b towards the first surface a, and then the AP is pushed horizontally so that the screw rod of the lug screw engages with the small hole of the gourd hole. During the process of the lug screw rod sliding into the small hole, the lug screw rod first pushes the guide block 142 in the first direction A. After the lug screw rod is fully inserted into the small hole, the guide block 142 will reset and spring back under the action of the elastic plate 141, thereby colliding with the screw rod and producing a sound, i.e., providing feedback on the positioning. Furthermore, the screw head is offset from the first surface a of the substrate, which can prevent the coiled cable 400 from affecting the installation of the AP.

[0056] In some embodiments, a reinforcing block 143 is provided at the connection between the elastic plate 141 and the substrate 1 to improve the strength of the elastic plate 141 without affecting its function. It is easy to understand that the reinforcing block 143 is a block-shaped structure that provides reinforcement. Additionally, in some embodiments, a protrusion 13B1 is provided on the surface of the second protrusion 13B facing away from the first protrusion 13A. After the AP is installed in place on the cable holder, the protrusion 13B1 abuts against the AP, thereby preventing wobbling between the AP and the cable holder due to excessive longitudinal clearance.

[0057] In some embodiments, the cable storage base 100 further includes a fall-prevention screw 3. Specifically, the substrate 1 has a connecting hole extending along a first direction A. One end of the connecting hole communicates with a through hole 131, and the other end of the connecting hole communicates with the outside. The fall-prevention screw 3 is connected to the connecting hole, and the tail end of the fall-prevention screw 3 extends into the through hole 131, which can limit the fixing member after the fixing member is moved into place, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the AP and the cable storage base 100 and preventing the AP from falling off the cable storage base 100. For example, the cable storage base 100 is made of elastic plastic, the connecting hole is a smooth hole, and the fall-prevention screw 3 is a self-tapping screw. When using the cable storage base 100 provided in this embodiment, the fall-prevention screw 3 is at least partially screwed into the connecting hole, and an internal thread is tapped on the inner wall of the connecting hole, thereby achieving fixation in the connecting hole.

[0058] In some embodiments, the substrate 1 is a rectangular structure with chamfers or rounded corners at each apex. That is, the extension trajectory of the enclosure structure formed by the first limiting part and the second limiting part is a rectangle with chamfers or rounded corners at each apex. This solution can avoid causing hard bending of the cable 400, allowing the cable 400 to be smoothly wound on the coil assembly 2, thereby reducing damage to the cable 400.

[0059] Specifically, the coiling assembly 2 can be configured as follows: it may include a cylindrical coiling tube; or it may include multiple pillars distributed along a circumferential trajectory; or it may include multiple arc-shaped plates with the same radius and located on the same circumference. In general, the outer contour of the coiling assembly 2 is circular. This reduces the complexity of coiling, requiring only circular winding; it also avoids sharp bends in the cable 400, allowing it to wrap smoothly around the coiling assembly 2, thus reducing damage to the cable 400; and it effectively controls the coiling radius, ensuring a more uniform curvature during winding of the optoelectronic hybrid cable, preventing sudden decreases in curvature that could lead to excessive light attenuation and affect optical signal transmission. Of course, the structure of the coiling assembly 2 is not limited to these examples and can also be other structures, which will not be listed here.

[0060] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second surface b of the substrate 1 is provided with a plurality of wire-holding portions 15; the wire-holding portions 15 are exposed on the second surface b in the direction away from the first surface a. A wire-receiving groove M is formed between the wire-holding portions 15 and the second surface b, which can accommodate the pigtail, thereby making the pigtail more neatly stored.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, multiple wire-clamping portions 15 are spaced apart on the first circumference to avoid causing hard bending of the pigtail, so that the pigtail can be smoothly stored, thereby reducing damage to the pigtail.

[0062] For example, the cable clamping portion 15 includes a plate 151 and a protrusion 152. The plate 151 is located on the side of the second surface b of the substrate 1 facing away from the first surface a and opposite to the substrate 1. The end of the plate 151 near the middle of the substrate 1 is the first end, and the end of the plate 151 opposite to the first end is the second end. The first end is connected to the substrate 1. The protrusion 152 is disposed at the second end of the plate 151, and the protrusion 152 is located on the side of the plate 151 facing the substrate 1. In this design, the protrusion 152 can limit the fiber optic cable, thus preventing the fiber optic cable from coming out of the cable tray as much as possible.

[0063] In practical implementation, the wire-clamping parts are arranged in suitable positions to minimize light attenuation while fitting the arc appearance. In one specific implementation, to avoid light attenuation, the fiber is coiled within a circular area with a radius of 80 mm centered on the axis of the coiling assembly. That is, multiple wire-clamping parts 15 are distributed on a circumference with a radius of 80 mm centered on the axis of the coiling assembly to obtain the most suitable winding path for the pigtail fiber coiling. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple wire-clamping parts 15 can also be distributed on a circumference with a radius greater than or less than 80 mm centered on the axis of the coiling assembly.

[0064] In another specific implementation, the fiber coil area is a rectangular area, and each apex of the rectangular area is rounded. That is to say, multiple wire clamping parts 15 are distributed according to the outline of the rectangular area.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second surface b is provided with a plurality of slots 16 for fixing the heat shrink tubing, thereby making the heat shrink tubing securely positioned and less prone to damage. In the optoelectronic hybrid cable, the optical fiber and pigtail are connected via heat shrink tubing, a weak connection; the slots 16 can protect the heat shrink tubing.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the substrate 1 has a first connecting cylinder 17 and a second connecting cylinder 18 that are interconnected. The first connecting cylinder 17 is closer to the edge of the substrate 1 than the second connecting cylinder 18. The anti-fall screw 3 is threadedly connected to both the first connecting cylinder 17 and the second connecting cylinder 18. The first circumference passes through the first connecting cylinder 17, and the outer diameter of the first connecting cylinder 17 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second connecting cylinder 18. In this way, the cable 400 can be protected and damage to the cable 400 can be avoided during the removal and installation of the anti-fall screw 3.

[0067] Furthermore, when the cable tray 100 is molded using injection molding, if both the first connecting cylinder 17 and the second connecting cylinder 18 are made with small outer diameters, insufficient glue flow can easily occur, resulting in product defects. In this embodiment, making the outer diameter of the first connecting cylinder 17 smaller than the outer diameter of the second connecting cylinder 18 can reduce the encroachment of the first connecting cylinder 17 on the cable routing space while ensuring the manufacturability of the cable tray and a better yield rate.

[0068] In some embodiments, the substrate is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 110 to ensure the normal operation of the AP.

[0069] Specifically, to achieve the connection between the cable organizer and the bearing surface, the substrate can be provided with multiple countersunk holes 140. Specifically, the large and small holes of the countersunk holes 140 are arranged along the direction from the second surface b to the first surface a, that is, the small holes are closer to the first surface a, and the large holes are closer to the second surface b. The cable organizer is fixed to the bearing surface by multiple screws. In this solution, the countersunk holes 140 reduce the required screw length.

[0070] When designing a cable management stand, first calculate the minimum space required to store 400 cables, match the cable management stand to this minimum space, and consider using the bearing surface to cooperate with the cable management stand to form a cable coiling space. Then, based on this cable coiling space, gradually expand the design of other features of the cable management stand.

Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this application provides a cable management box including a decorative cover assembly 200 and the aforementioned cable storage base 100. The decorative cover assembly 200 is connected to the cable storage base 100, and the decorative cover assembly 200 can be opened and closed relative to the cable storage base 100. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The decorative cover assembly 200 covers the cable storage base 100. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The decorative cover assembly 200 opens relative to the cable management base 100. Specifically, as shown... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the decorative cover assembly 200 is placed on the cable storage base 100, the decorative cover assembly 200 surrounds the outer periphery of the cable storage base 100, and the cable box has a cable inlet / outlet O1.

[0072] It should be understood that the decorative cover assembly 200 is provided with a clearance groove for avoiding the anti-fall screw 3, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the anti-fall screw 3.

[0073] Figure 9 This illustration shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of a cable management box provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the decorative cover assembly 200 includes two U-shaped decorative covers 210. Each U-shaped decorative cover 210 includes a first plate 211 and a second plate 212 that are perpendicular to each other and fixedly connected. The first plate 211 is used to abut against the second surface b when the U-shaped decorative cover 210 is closed on the cable storage base 100; the second plate 212 is used to surround the outer periphery of the cable storage base 100 when the U-shaped decorative cover 210 is closed on the cable storage base 100; the ends of the two U-shaped decorative covers 210 that are close to each other are respectively hinged to the cable storage base, and the ends of the two U-shaped decorative covers 210 opposite to the hinged ends can be snapped into the cable storage base 100. In this solution, the opening and closing of the decorative cover assembly 200 and the cable storage base 100 is relatively convenient.

[0074] Figure 10 An exploded view of a cable management box provided in an embodiment of this application is shown below. Please refer to the diagram. Figure 9 and Figure 10 Specifically, to achieve the hinge connection between the U-shaped decorative cover 210 and the cable storage base 100, hooks 2122 can be provided at both ends of the second plate 212 near the other U-shaped decorative cover 210, and snap-fit ​​shafts 120 can be provided in the corresponding parts of the cable storage base 100. Figure 3As can be seen in the image, the U-shaped decorative cover 210 is hinged to the snap-fit ​​shaft 120 via two hooks 2122 at both ends of the second plate 212. A blocking part 130 may be provided at the end of the snap-fit ​​shaft 120 away from the cable storage base 100. The blocking part 130 provides a limiting function for the hooks 2122 to prevent the hooks 2122 from sliding out of the snap-fit ​​shaft.

[0075] Specifically, to achieve the snap-fit ​​connection between the U-shaped decorative cover 210 and the cable storage base 100, an elastic snap-fit ​​block 19 can be provided at one of the hinged ends of the second plate 212 away from the U-shaped decorative cover 210 and the corresponding part of the cable storage base 100, and a snap-fit ​​hole 2121 can be provided at the other end. The snap-fit ​​between the U-shaped decorative cover 210 and the cable storage base 100 is achieved through the cooperation of the elastic snap-fit ​​block 19 and the snap-fit ​​hole 2121. When it is necessary to release the snap-fit ​​between the U-shaped decorative cover 210 and the cable storage base 100, the elastic snap-fit ​​block 19 can be pushed to disengage from the snap-fit ​​hole 2121. In this solution, the connection and disconnection operations between the U-shaped decorative cover 210 and the cable storage base 100 are relatively convenient. For example, both the U-shaped decorative cover and the cable storage base can be made of elastic plastic. For example, the hinge end of the second plate 212 away from the U-shaped decorative cover 210 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 2121, and the corresponding part of the cable storage base 100 is provided with an elastic snap-fit ​​block 19.

Figure 12 The diagram shows a schematic representation of the cable management box provided in this application when viewed from the direction of the second surface b towards the first surface a. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, when the decorative cover assembly 200 is closed on the cable storage base 100, at least one hollow area O2 is formed between the decorative cover assembly 200 and the cable storage base 100. The hollow area O2 can serve as the outlet for the pigtail, making it more convenient for the pigtail to enter and exit the cable management box.

[0077] Figure 13 for Figure 11 The side view of the cable management box shown is as follows: Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the second plate 212 is smaller in size in the direction perpendicular to the first plate 211 than the coil assembly 2 is smaller in thickness direction in the substrate 1, so as to avoid the U-shaped decorative cover 210 extending beyond the cable storage base 100 in the direction away from the second surface b of the first surface a of the substrate 1 due to processing errors, thus preventing the U-shaped decorative cover 210 from engaging with the cable storage base 100.

[0078] In some embodiments, a plurality of knockout holes are formed on the second plate, and a knockout block 213 is provided in each knockout hole. The knockout block 213 is connected to the knockout hole by a connecting strip. In this way, the knockout block 213 can be knocked off as needed to form an inlet / outlet port for the cable 400 to enter and exit.
