Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of office furniture technology, specifically to a cable management box and an office desk having the same. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread adoption of smart office devices, managing desktop cables using cable management boxes has become an important means of improving office efficiency and tidiness. Traditional cable management boxes are generally upward-opening boxes mounted on the desktop, with a flap at the opening. This allows for cable management through the opening when the flap is open, and maintains a neat appearance and prevents debris from entering the box when the flap is closed. However, because the flap is only hinged to the cable management box or desktop via a hinge axis, users may accidentally open the flap by moving electronic devices and causing the cables to be dragged. Furthermore, these cable management boxes require users to stand up and bend over to operate them (especially when plugging and unplugging cables from power strips), which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable management box and an office desk with it, which can position the sliding door in the open and closed positions through a positioning structure to prevent the sliding door from being opened or closed accidentally.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A cable management box, comprising:

[0006] The box body has a cable management cavity and a cable management port that connects the cable management cavity to the outside;

[0007] A sliding door, slidably disposed within the housing and having an open position and a closed position relative to the housing, wherein the sliding door opens the cable management opening when in the open position, and closes the cable management opening when in the closed position; and...

[0008] A positioning structure is disposed between the housing and the sliding door, the positioning structure being used to position the sliding door in the open position and the closed position.

[0009] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: the sliding door can slide between an open and closed position relative to the box body via a sliding motion. When the sliding door is in the open position, the cable management opening is open, making it convenient for users to manage cables through the opening; when the sliding door is in the closed position, the cable management opening is closed, maintaining the overall aesthetics and preventing debris from entering the box body. The positioning structure allows the sliding door to be positioned in both the open and closed positions, preventing accidental opening or closing.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning structure includes a spring positioning bead and a positioning groove adapted to the bead body of the spring positioning bead. One of the spring positioning bead and the positioning groove is disposed in the box body, and the other is disposed in the sliding door. At least two sets of spring positioning beads are provided and spaced apart along the sliding direction of the sliding door, and at least one set of positioning grooves is provided; or, at least two sets of positioning grooves are provided and spaced apart along the sliding direction of the sliding door, and at least one set of spring positioning beads is provided. The bead body of the spring positioning bead can extend and retract relative to the tube body of the elastic positioning bead. After the bead body extends out of the tube body and is engaged in the positioning groove, the sliding door can be positioned in the box body. Furthermore, through the cooperation between the inner wall surface of the positioning groove and the surface of the bead body, when the sliding door is subjected to external force, the bead body can be automatically retracted into the tube body by the sliding door, thus separating the bead body from the positioning groove. After the sliding door slides until the bead body and the positioning groove are aligned again, the bead body can automatically extend out of the tube body and be engaged in the positioning groove. Therefore, the above structural design facilitates the sliding operation of the sliding door and can automatically position the sliding door after it has slid into place.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning groove is disposed in the sliding door, the spring positioning bead is disposed in the housing, and the sliding door is further provided with a groove extending along its sliding direction, the depth of the groove being less than the depth of the positioning groove. By providing the groove, the retraction stroke of the bead during the sliding process of the sliding door can be reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the bead and the sliding door, reducing the resistance of the sliding door during the sliding process, and reducing the wear on the sliding door and the bead.

[0012] Preferably, the sliding door is provided with an operating part, which is used to drive the sliding door to slide relative to the housing in response to an external force. Providing an operating part facilitates user operation of the sliding door.

[0013] Preferably, the cable management box further includes a limiting structure disposed between the box body and the sliding door, the limiting structure being used to restrict the sliding direction of the sliding door. The limiting structure restricts the sliding direction of the sliding door during its sliding process, preventing significant shaking of the sliding door.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting structure includes a limiting groove disposed in the sliding door and a limiting flange disposed in the box body, the limiting flange extending into the limiting groove and the two slidingly engaging.

[0015] Preferably, the limiting groove includes a first long groove with its opening facing outwards from the cable management cavity and a second long groove with its opening facing inwards from the cable management cavity. The box body includes an outer box and an inner box disposed within the outer box. The limiting flange includes a first flange disposed within the outer box and a second flange disposed within the inner box. The first flange is slidably disposed within the first long groove, and the second flange is slidably disposed within the second long groove.

[0016] Preferably, the box body includes a bottom wall and a side wall, the cable management opening is formed on the side wall and extends downward to the bottom wall, and the sliding direction of the sliding door is the height direction of the box body.

[0017] Preferably, a wiring groove is formed at the upper end of the sliding door, and the wiring groove extends downward from the upper end face of the sliding door.

[0018] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, the present invention also adopts the following technical solution:

[0019] An office desk includes a tabletop, and the office desk further includes a cable management box as described in any one of the above technical solutions, the cable management box being disposed on the tabletop. Attached Figure Description

In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise precisely specified.

[0030] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a connection through an intermediary, or a connection within two elements or an interaction between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] This embodiment provides a cable management box, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cable management box includes a box body 1, a sliding door 2, and a positioning structure. The box body 1 has a cable management cavity and a cable management opening 12 connecting the cavity to the outside. The sliding door 2 is slidably disposed on the box body 1 and has an open position and a closed position relative to the box body 1. When the sliding door 2 is in the open position, the cable management opening 12 is open; when the sliding door 2 is in the closed position, the cable management opening 12 is closed. Thus, the sliding door 2 can slide between the open and closed positions relative to the box body 1. When the sliding door 2 is in the open position, the cable management opening 12 is open, facilitating cable management by the user; when the sliding door 2 is in the closed position, the cable management opening 12 is closed, maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance and preventing debris from entering the box body 1. In this embodiment, the positioning structure is disposed between the box body 1 and the sliding door 2, and is used to position the sliding door 2 in the open and closed positions. By positioning the sliding door 2 in the open and closed positions, the accidental opening or closing of the sliding door 2 can be prevented.

[0032] In this embodiment, the positioning structure includes a spring positioning bead 3 and a positioning groove 20 that matches the bead body in the spring positioning bead 3. Specifically, the spring positioning bead 3 is disposed in the box body 1, and the positioning groove 20 is disposed in the sliding door 2. The bead body of the spring positioning bead 3 can extend and retract relative to the tube body of the elastic positioning bead. After the bead body extends out of the tube body and is inserted into the positioning groove 20, the sliding door 2 can be positioned in the box body 1. In addition, through the cooperation between the inner wall surface of the positioning groove 20 and the surface of the bead body, when the sliding door 2 is subjected to external force, the bead body can be automatically retracted into the tube body by the sliding door 2, so that the bead body is separated from the positioning groove 20; after the sliding door 2 slides until the bead body and the positioning groove 20 are aligned again, the bead body can automatically extend out of the tube body and be inserted into the positioning groove 20. Therefore, the above structural design facilitates the sliding operation of the sliding door 2, and can automatically position the sliding door 2 after it slides into place. It should be noted that the aforementioned "the positioning groove 20 is compatible with the ball of the spring positioning bead 3" means that the positioning groove 20 is spherical in shape, and the ball of the spring positioning bead 3 can fit roughly against the inner wall of the positioning groove 20 when it is inserted into the positioning groove 20.

[0033] The spring-loaded positioning bead 3 is an existing product. It generally includes a tube body, a bead housed within the tube body, and a compression spring housed within the tube body. The compression spring is in a compressed state, applying pressure to the bead body, causing the bead to tend to extend outwards from the end of the tube body. Simultaneously, the design of the tube body's end dimensions ensures that the bead body can only partially extend from the end of the tube body and cannot detach from it. Thus, the bead body can cooperate with an external groove structure to achieve a locking and positioning effect. The spring-loaded positioning bead 3 can be purchased directly from the market and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of spring positioning beads 3 are provided, and the two sets of spring positioning beads 3 are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the sliding door 2. One set of positioning grooves 20 is provided, and the positioning grooves 20 are located at the lower part of the sliding door 2. When the sliding door 2 is in the closed position, the lower spring positioning bead 3 engages with the corresponding positioning groove 20; when the sliding door 2 is in the open position, the upper spring positioning bead 3 engages with the corresponding positioning groove 20. In this embodiment, positioning grooves 20 are provided on both the left and right sides of the sliding door 2. Therefore, each set of positioning grooves 20 includes two positioning grooves 20 at the same height. Similarly, the two sets of spring positioning beads 3 are distributed at different heights, and each set of spring positioning beads 3 also includes two spring positioning beads 3 at the same height.

[0035] It is readily understood that in other alternative embodiments, as long as at least two sets of spring positioning beads 3 are provided and spaced apart along the sliding direction of the sliding door 2, and at least one set of positioning grooves 20 is provided, the usage requirements can be met. Alternatively, at least two sets of positioning grooves 20 are provided and spaced apart along the sliding direction of the sliding door 2, and at least one set of spring positioning beads 3 is provided, which can also meet the usage requirements.

[0036] Alternatively, in other optional embodiments, the positioning groove 20 can be disposed on the housing 1, and the spring positioning bead 3 can be disposed on the sliding door 2 accordingly. Considering that the sliding door 2 has a plate-like structure and its overall thickness should not be too large, in this embodiment, the spring positioning bead 3 is disposed on the housing 1 to facilitate the positioning and installation of the spring positioning bead 3.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the sliding door 2 is also provided with a groove 21 extending along its sliding direction, the depth of which is less than the depth of the positioning groove 20. By providing the groove 21, the retraction stroke of the ball during the sliding process of the sliding door 2 can be reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the ball and the sliding door 2, reducing the resistance of the sliding door 2 during the sliding process, and reducing the wear on the sliding door 2 and the ball.

[0038] To facilitate the user's opening and closing of the sliding door 2, the sliding door 2 in this embodiment is provided with an operating part 23. The operating part 23 is used to drive the sliding door 2 to slide relative to the housing 1 in response to external forces. Figure 4 As shown, the operating part 23 in this embodiment is a groove structure opened on the sliding door 2. The groove structure allows the user's fingers to be inserted, and the user can apply pressure to the inner wall of the groove structure with their fingers to drive the sliding door 2 to slide relative to the box body 1.

[0039] To improve the stability of the sliding door 2 during the sliding process, the cable management box provided in this embodiment also includes a limiting structure disposed between the box body 1 and the sliding door 2. The limiting structure is used to restrict the sliding direction of the sliding door 2. The limiting structure can restrict the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 during the sliding process, preventing the sliding door 2 from shaking significantly.

[0040] Furthermore, in combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the limiting structure in this embodiment includes a limiting groove 22 disposed on the sliding door 2 and a limiting flange disposed on the box body 1. The limiting flange extends into the limiting groove 22 and the two are slidably engaged. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting groove 22 includes a first elongated groove 220 opening outwards from the cable management cavity and a second elongated groove 221 opening inwards from the cable management cavity. The box body 1 includes an outer box 10 and an inner box 11 disposed within the outer box 10. The limiting flange includes a first flange 100 disposed on the outer box 10 and a second flange 110 disposed on the inner box 11. The first flange 100 is slidably disposed within the first elongated groove 220, and the second flange 110 is slidably disposed within the second elongated groove 221. Through the above structural design, the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 can be limited from both the inner and outer sides of the sliding door 2 by the engagement of the first flange 100 with the first elongated groove 220 and the engagement of the second flange 110 with the second elongated groove 221. At the same time, it facilitates the assembly operation of the sliding door 2 and the box body 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the box 1 includes a bottom wall and side walls. A cable management opening 12 is formed on the side wall and extends downwards to the bottom wall. The sliding direction of the sliding door 2 is the height direction (vertical direction) of the box 1. As mentioned earlier, the box 1 in this embodiment includes an outer box 10 and an inner box 11. Therefore, both the outer box 10 and the inner box 11 have bottom walls and side walls, and both have cable management openings 12 extending downwards from the side walls to the bottom walls. Through the above structural design, the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 in this embodiment is the height direction of the cable management box. When applied to an office desk, the cable management box can be placed at the front end of the desk, with the cable management opening 12 aligned with the user. This way, when the user needs to perform cable management, there is no need to stand up and bend over to operate from above; they can simply reach forward and open the sliding door 2 while maintaining a seated posture, which is very convenient.

[0042] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the sliding door 2 can also be disposed on the upper surface of the box body 1, that is, the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 is horizontal.

[0043] To further facilitate cable management, a cable routing groove 24 is formed at the upper end of the sliding door 2 in this embodiment. The cable routing groove 24 extends downward from the upper end face of the sliding door 2.

[0044] The cable management box provided in this embodiment can be applied to office desks, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the desk includes a tabletop 4, and a cable management box is installed on the tabletop 4.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only optional embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
