[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0035] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0036] In order to solve the technical problem that the connection cables 50 of information devices such as servers and network switches are easily damaged by excessive bending in the prior art, this application provides an information device that is connected to the position where the cable 50 needs to be bent, and can protect the cable 50.

[0037] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The following describes an information device connection device provided in an embodiment of this application. The information device connection device provided in this application includes a winding spring 10 and two connection ends 20. The winding spring 10 can be made of metal, plastic, or other elastic materials, and is used to be sleeved on the outer periphery of a cable 50. The two connection ends 20 are respectively disposed at both ends of the winding spring 10. Each connection end 20 includes two connectors 21 that are mated together, and a fastener 22. The fastener 22 is detachably connected between the two connectors 21. After the two connectors 21 are mated, they form a retaining cavity for accommodating the end of the winding spring 10, and a threading channel for the cable 50 to pass through. The threading channel communicates with the retaining cavity.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the information device connection device provided in this application embodiment are:

[0039] This application provides an information equipment connection device including a winding spring 10 and two connecting ends 20. The winding spring 10 is sleeved on the outer periphery of a cable 50, and the two connecting ends 20 are detachably mounted at both ends of the winding spring 10. The cable 50 passes through the connecting ends 20 and the winding spring 10, and the connecting ends 20 can be clamped and fixed to the outer sheath of the cable 50 through a wire-passing channel. The connecting ends 20 include two mating and detachably connected connectors 21, and their installation positions can be flexibly adjusted as needed. The winding spring 10 provides support and protection for the cable 50, preventing excessive bending of the cable 50 when the cable bends, reducing the probability of information equipment failure due to cable bending, alleviating the workload of maintenance engineers, and saving economic and time costs.

[0040] In this embodiment, the winding spring 10 can be made of metal, plastic, or other materials, as long as it has a certain degree of elasticity. The winding spring 10 is used to sleeve the outer periphery of the cable 50, and its inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cable 50. Two connecting ends 20 are detachably installed on the outer periphery of the cable 50. The connecting ends 20 can be made of metal or engineering plastic, and their shape can be square, cylindrical, etc. After the two connecting ends 20 are mated, they are clamped between the outer sheath of the cable 50 and the end of the winding spring 10, and the clamping force generated by the mating makes them connected and fixed to the outer sheath of the cable 50. It should be noted that the diameter of the wire passage is slightly smaller than the diameter of the outer sheath of the cable 50. Since the outer sheath of the cable 50 is made of rubber, it has a certain degree of elasticity, and the clamping force will not have an adverse effect on the cable 50.

The fastener 22 and the connecting hole can be threaded together. Tightening the fastener 22 can connect the two connectors 21 into one unit. The fastener 22 can be a self-tapping screw, screw, etc., and the connecting hole can be a smooth hole or a threaded hole.

[0043] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7In some possible embodiments, the inner wall of the connector 21 used to form the holding cavity is provided with a first flexible protective layer 23, and the inner wall of the connector 21 used to form the threading channel is provided with a second flexible protective layer 24. The first flexible protective layer 23 and the second flexible protective layer 24 can be made of flexible materials such as fabric and rubber.
