Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer room cable management technology, and more specifically, to a computer room cable management system. Background Technology
[0002] A computer room, also commonly known as a data center or computer room, is a space specifically designed to house and operate computer equipment, servers, network equipment, storage devices, and other related electronic equipment. This space not only provides a physical environment to protect these devices from external damage such as dust, temperature fluctuations, humidity changes, and electromagnetic interference, but also ensures the stable operation and high performance of the equipment.
[0003] In computer rooms, cable management is crucial for the normal operation of equipment and the cleanliness of the room. Existing cable management devices, such as nylon cable ties, suffer from wear and tear on cable sheaths due to prolonged use, and dense bundling hinders heat dissipation. Furthermore, plastic clips are of fixed size and cannot accommodate cables of different diameters. Therefore, this application proposes a computer room cable bundler to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing solutions, the purpose of this invention is to provide a computer room cable bundler that is flexible and adjustable to accommodate the cable bundle requirements of different diameters, while also having good heat dissipation performance to effectively prevent heat accumulation inside the cable bundle.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A computer room cable tie includes an elastic substrate and a silicone coating layer. The elastic substrate has a planar spiral structure and its surface is covered with a silicone coating layer. A shaft post is fixed at the center of the elastic substrate, and the longitudinal width of the shaft post is the same as the overall width of the elastic substrate. A hook and loop fastener is provided at the end of the elastic substrate, and a hook and loop fastener rough surface is provided on the outer surface of the elastic substrate corresponding to the hook and loop fastener.
[0007] Furthermore, the elastic matrix is made of TPU elastic plastic sheet with a thickness of 0.8-1.2mm, a width of 10-20mm, a helix angle of 15-30°, and a spacing of 8-15mm between each turn.
[0008] Furthermore, the silicone coating layer has a thickness of 2mm, and multiple sets of limiting grooves are uniformly formed on the inner surface of the silicone coating layer, with a depth of 0.5mm and a spacing of 2mm between the limiting grooves.
[0009] Furthermore, a insertion groove is provided inside the front end face of the shaft column, and a second magnet is embedded at the bottom of the insertion groove. A plug-in connector adapted to the insertion groove is fixed on the rear end face of the shaft column. A first magnet of the same specification as the second magnet is embedded inside the outer end face of the plug-in connector, and the magnetism of the first magnet is opposite to that of the second magnet.
[0010] Furthermore, the silicone coating layer and the elastic matrix are provided with multiple sets of through-holes for ventilation and heat dissipation along the spiral line at equal intervals, and the diameter of the ventilation and heat dissipation holes is half the width of the elastic matrix.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This utility model adopts a spiral structure design and has an overall elastic and adjustable function, which can adapt to the cable bundling requirements of cables of different diameters. It solves the problem that fixed-size cable bundling devices such as plastic clips cannot be adapted to cables of different diameters. In addition, the planar spiral structure of the cable bundler makes the space between the cables larger, which is conducive to the heat dissipation of the cables and avoids the adverse effect of dense bundling on the heat dissipation of the cables.
[0013] 2. This utility model provides an additional protective layer for cables by covering the elastic matrix with a silicone coating layer, which effectively reduces the wear and tear on the cable sheath caused by long-term bundling. Compared with nylon cable ties, this cable tie will not cause wear and tear on the cable sheath due to long-term bundling.
[0014] 3. This utility model adopts a magnetic splicing system to achieve rapid splicing between different wire bundlers. The connector and the slot are used to connect different wire bundlers to provide different binding areas for the wire bundles and ensure the binding effect. At the same time, the first magnet and the second magnet enable different wire bundlers to be connected quickly by magnetism. The connection between the wire bundlers is more stable and reliable. The attraction of the magnets ensures that the wire bundlers will not easily fall off or loosen after connection, realizing a fast and convenient connection.
[0015] 4. In this utility model, multiple sets of through-holes for ventilation and heat dissipation are equidistantly formed along the spiral line on the silicone coating layer and the elastic substrate. The diameter of the ventilation and heat dissipation holes is half the width of the elastic substrate. The ventilation and heat dissipation holes provide an effective heat dissipation path for the wire harness, which helps to reduce the working temperature of the cable and thus extend the service life of the cable.

[0022] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] Example:
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a computer room cable tie includes an elastic base 9 and a silicone coating layer 4. The elastic base 9 has a planar spiral structure. This planar spiral structure allows the cable tie to be tightly and flexibly wound around cables of different diameters, achieving strong adaptability. Its surface is covered with a silicone coating layer 4, which provides an additional protective layer. Its soft and wear-resistant properties effectively reduce wear on the cable sheath caused by long-term bundling. A shaft post 6 is fixed at the center of the elastic base 9, and the longitudinal width of the shaft post 6 is the same as the overall width of the elastic base 9, enhancing the structural stability of the cable tie and making it more secure when winding cables. Simultaneously, it can create a gap in the center of the cable bundle for air circulation when bundling cables, improving the heat dissipation effect of the cable bundle. The elastic base 9 has a hook and loop fastener 1 at the end, and a hook and loop fastener 2 that matches the hook and loop fastener 1 is provided on the outer surface of the elastic base 9. The hook and loop fastener 1 and the hook and loop fastener 2 constitute a quick and reusable fixing method, which makes it easy to fix the cable bundle to the cable. It also facilitates the disassembly and reuse of the cable bundle. This design solves the problems of existing cable bundling devices such as nylon cable ties, which cause wear on the cable sheath due to long-term bundling and dense bundling that affects the heat dissipation of the cable, and plastic buckles, which are fixed in size and cannot be adapted to cables of different diameters.
[0025] Compared to nylon cable ties, this cable tie does not cause wear and tear on the cable sheath due to prolonged bundling, because its silicone coating layer 4 provides additional protection.
[0026] The planar spiral structure of the cable bundle allows for more space between cables, which is beneficial for heat dissipation and avoids the adverse effects of dense bundling on cable heat dissipation.
[0027] The design of the elastic substrate 9 allows the cable bundler to adapt to cables of different diameters, solving the problem that fixed-size cable bundlers such as plastic clips cannot adapt to cables of different diameters.
[0028] In this embodiment, the elastic substrate 9 is made of TPU elastic plastic sheet. TPU material has good elasticity, wear resistance, and weather resistance, and can withstand various physical and chemical stresses in the computer room environment, ensuring the long-term performance of the cable tie. Its thickness is 0.8-1.2mm, which ensures both sufficient elasticity and firmness when winding cables. The width is 10-20mm, which provides sufficient winding area for the cables, ensuring cable stability. A wider substrate also provides better pressure distribution, reducing wear on the cable sheath. The helix angle is 15-30°, which ensures both flexibility when winding cables and adaptability to cables of different diameters. An excessively large helix angle may cause excessive tension during winding, while an excessively small angle may reduce winding efficiency. The spacing between each turn is 8-15mm, which ensures sufficient space between cables for heat dissipation and tightness when winding cables.
[0029] In this embodiment, the silicone coating layer 4 is 2mm thick. The 2mm thick silicone coating layer 4 provides sufficient protection to prevent the cable sheath from being worn, while maintaining the flexibility and ease of operation of the cable bundle. Multiple sets of limiting grooves 5 are evenly formed on the inner surface of the silicone coating layer 4. The limiting grooves 5 are mainly used to increase the friction between the cable bundle and the cable to prevent the cable from sliding or falling out inside the cable bundle. The depth of the limiting grooves 5 is 0.5mm, and the spacing between the limiting grooves 5 is 2mm.
[0030] In this embodiment, a insertion slot 11 is provided inside the front end face of the shaft post 6, and a second magnet 10 is embedded at the bottom of the insertion slot 11. A plug connector 7 adapted to the insertion slot 11 is fixed on the rear end face of the shaft post 6. A first magnet 8 of the same specification as the second magnet 10 is embedded inside the outer end face of the plug connector 7, and the magnetic properties of the first magnet 8 are opposite to those of the second magnet 10. This design uses the plug connector 7 in conjunction with the insertion slot 11 to realize the splicing connection between different wire bundles, so as to provide different bundling areas for the wire bundles and ensure the bundling effect. At the same time, the first magnet 8 and the second magnet 10 enable different wire bundles to be quickly connected by magnetism, making the connection between the wire bundles more stable and reliable. The attraction of the magnets ensures that the wire bundles will not easily fall off or loosen after connection, realizing a fast and convenient connection.
[0031] In this embodiment, multiple sets of through-holes 3 are equidistantly formed on the silicone coating layer 4 and the elastic substrate 9 along the spiral line. The diameter of the through-holes 3 is half the width of the elastic substrate 9. The through-holes 3 provide an effective heat dissipation path for the wire harness. The through-holes 3 help to reduce the operating temperature of the cable, thereby extending the service life of the cable.
[0032] The working principle of this type of computer room cable management device:
[0033] When cables need to be bundled, slide the cables one by one into the bundler's opening until it is full. Then, tighten the hook side 1 and attach it to the loop side 2 to seal the bundler and secure it to the cables, thus bundling them. If multiple bundlers are needed to increase the bundling area, the insertion slots 11 and connectors 7 on the shaft 6, along with magnets of opposite magnetic properties, can be used to connect and splice different bundlers together. The elastic base 9 of the bundler adopts a planar spiral structure, which allows the bundler to be tightly and flexibly wound around cables of different diameters. Its elasticity allows the bundler to adapt to various cable sizes, achieving effective cable bundling. The silicone sheath 4 provides an additional protective layer; its soft and abrasion-resistant properties effectively reduce wear on the cable sheath caused by long-term bundling, protecting the cables from physical damage. Multiple sets of through-holes 3 are equidistantly formed along the spiral line on the silicone sheath 4 and the elastic base 9. These ventilation holes provide an effective heat dissipation path for the wiring harness, helping to reduce the operating temperature of the cable and thus extend its service life.
[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
