Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable finder technology, specifically a cable finder with an interface anti-detachment mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In modern communication networks, power systems, and structured cabling projects, cable tracers are indispensable testing tools. Whether network engineers are troubleshooting network line faults, electricians are inspecting power line routes, or construction workers are conducting cabling system acceptance tests, cable tracers can quickly and accurately locate target lines by transmitting and receiving signals, greatly improving the efficiency of line testing and maintenance. As networks and power facilities become increasingly complex, the performance and reliability requirements for cable tracers are also rising.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent application number 202322580995.0 discloses an interface positioning and anti-detachment structure for a cable finder. It includes a fixed block, a first movable groove, a first positioning block, a first adjusting rod, and a handle. Because the first adjusting rod has external threads, it can be screwed on, causing the externally fitted first positioning block to move downwards. This allows it to work with the fixed block to press and fix the cable end, making it easy to press and fix according to the width of the connecting wire, preventing detachment and solving the problem of inconvenience in pressing and fixing according to the width of the connecting wire during use. However, this device still has certain shortcomings.
[0004] When implementing anti-detachment design, the connecting wire is directly pressed and fixed. However, the pressing force is difficult to control, which can easily damage the core wire inside the connecting wire and reduce its service life.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a cable finder with an interface anti-detachment mechanism to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cable finder with an interface anti-detachment mechanism to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that in the current market, when designing anti-detachment devices, the connecting wires are directly pressed and fixed, and the pressing force is difficult to control, which can easily damage the core wires inside the connecting wires and reduce the service life of the connecting wires.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cable finder with an interface anti-detachment mechanism, comprising a cable finder body, a wiring port on the upper surface of the cable finder body, a wiring frame installed above the wiring port, a connector connected to the wiring port, a limit block installed on the connector, and abutment grooves on both the left and right sides of the limit block, limit rods installed on both the left and right sides of the wiring frame, and a stop block installed on the opposite end of each limit rod, a U-shaped block sleeved on each limit rod, and an abutment block installed on the side of the U-shaped block near the wiring frame, the U-shaped block and the wiring frame being connected by a telescopic spring;
[0008] A rear side plate is installed on the rear side of the upper surface of the line finder body, and an adjusting bolt is installed on the rear side plate. A movable strip is installed on the adjusting bolt, and pressure plates are installed on both the left and right sides of the movable strip.
[0009] Preferably, anti-slip blocks are installed on both the left and right sides of the line finder body, and the surface of the anti-slip blocks is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0010] The above structural design increases the friction when holding the cable finder body. During operation, especially when the U-shaped block is opened with one hand during wiring, the cable finder body can be prevented from slipping, improving operational safety and stability, and avoiding damage or disruption to work progress caused by the equipment slipping.
[0011] Preferably, a power cord is installed on the connector, and the power cord passes through the limiting block.
[0012] With the above structural design, the power cord passes through the limiting block, making the connector, limiting block and power cord a whole. Together with other anti-detachment components, under the action of telescopic springs, the three are synchronously positioned to prevent detachment, ensuring a tight connection of the circuit.
[0013] Preferably, the U-shaped block is slidably connected to the limiting rod, and the groove width on the U-shaped block is 5cm.
[0014] The above structural design ensures the smooth movement of the U-shaped block on the limiting rod. During the fixing and adjustment of the joint, the U-shaped block will not shift, allowing the abutment block to accurately match the abutment groove of the limiting block, enhancing the reliability of the anti-detachment structure and improving the stability of the joint fixing.
[0015] Preferably, the rear side plate is perpendicular to and fixedly connected to the line finder body, and a hook hole is provided on the rear side plate.
[0016] The above structural design provides a convenient way to store the cable finder. The cable finder can be hung on the wall or other suitable locations to save space and allow it to be stored in an orderly manner when not in use, making it easy to retrieve next time. It also helps to keep the working environment clean.
[0017] Preferably, the adjusting bolt is connected to the wiring frame via a bearing seat, and a guide rod is connected between the wiring frame and the rear side plate. The guide rod passes through the movable strip and is slidably connected to the movable strip.
[0018] With the above structural design, when it is necessary to improve the anti-detachment of the connector and power cord, such as when carrying the mobile cable finder body, the movable bar can be moved by rotating the adjusting bolt, thereby limiting the pressure plate to the U-shaped block and avoiding direct squeezing of the power cord.
[0019] Preferably, the pressure plate corresponds to the U-shaped block, and the pressure plate is located on the rear side of the U-shaped block, and the pressure plate is slidably connected to the groove on the U-shaped block.
[0020] The above structural design, combined with other anti-detachment structures, strengthens the fixation of the connectors and power cords, preventing them from loosening and falling off, and ensuring the stability of the line connection of the cable finder body in complex operating environments.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the cable finder with an interface anti-detachment mechanism:
[0022] 1. Excellent anti-detachment effect: Through the synergistic action of the limiting block, abutment groove, limiting rod, U-shaped block, abutment block and telescopic spring, the connector is limited from the left and right directions. In addition, the pressure plate limits the U-shaped block, which effectively prevents the connector from falling off the wiring port, ensuring the stability of the line connection during the use of the line finder body and avoiding the problem of signal transmission interruption or inaccurate detection results due to loose connector.
[0023] 2. Protect the connecting wire: Unlike the traditional method of directly crimping the connecting wire, this device uses a limiting block on the connector to fix it, avoiding direct compression of the core wire inside the power cord. This reduces the risk of damage to the core wire due to improper fixing, extends the service life of the connecting wire, and reduces the cost of frequent replacement due to damage to the connecting wire.
[0024] 3. Easy to store and organize: The hook holes on the rear panel provide a convenient way to store the cable finder. The cable finder can be hung on the wall or other suitable locations, saving space and making it easy to organize. This allows the cable finder to be stored in an orderly manner when not in use, making it convenient to retrieve next time. Attached Figure Description

[0031] 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.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a cable finder with an interface anti-detachment mechanism, comprising a cable finder body 1, an anti-sliding block 2, a wiring port 3, a wiring frame 4, a connector 5, a power cord 6, a limiting block 7, an abutment groove 8, a limiting rod 9, a stop block 10, a U-shaped block 11, an abutment block 12, a telescopic spring 13, a rear side plate 14, a hook hole 15, an adjusting bolt 16, a movable strip 17, a guide rod 18, and a pressure plate 19. The upper surface of the cable finder body 1 has a wiring port 3, and a wiring frame 4 is installed above the wiring port 3. Anti-slip blocks 2 are installed on both the left and right sides of the cable finder body 1, and the surface of the anti-slip blocks 2 is provided with anti-slip texture. When connecting the cable finder body 1, hold the anti-slip blocks 2 on the cable finder body 1 with one hand, and then use the index and middle fingers to push the U-shaped blocks 11 on the left and right sides outward until they abut against the stop block 10, so that the U-shaped blocks 11 drive the abutment block 12 to move in the opposite direction. At this time, the telescopic spring 13 is in the stretched state. The connector 5 is connected to the wiring port 3, and the power cord 6 is installed on the connector 5. The power cord 6 passes through the limit block 7. Insert the connector 5 into the wiring port of the cable finder body 1. At point 3, the limiting block 7 on connector 5 enters the wiring frame 4. The abutment grooves 8 on the left and right sides of the limiting block 7 are respectively opposite to the abutment blocks 12 on the limiting rods 9 on both sides of the wiring frame 4. Then, the U-shaped block 11 is released, and the U-shaped block 11 and the abutment block 12 move relative to each other and reset under the action of the elastic force of the telescopic spring 13, so that the abutment block 12 engages with the abutment groove 8 on the limiting block 7, thereby completing the anti-disengagement positioning of the limiting block 7, connector 5 and power cord 6. The limiting block 7 is installed on the connector 5, and the limiting block 7 has abutment grooves 8 on both the left and right sides. Limiting rods 9 are installed on both the left and right sides of the wiring frame 4, and a stop block 10 is installed on the opposite end of each limiting rod 9. A U-shaped block 11 is sleeved on each limiting rod 9. The U-shaped block 11 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 9. The groove width on the U-shaped block 11 is 5cm. When the U-shaped block 11 is subjected to force, it can move left and right along the limiting rod 9, so that the U-shaped block 11 is more stable when moving left and right and will not deviate. A stop block 12 is installed on the side of the U-shaped block 11 near the wiring frame 4. The U-shaped block 11 is connected to the wiring frame 4 by a telescopic spring 13.
[0033] A rear side plate 14 is installed on the rear side of the upper surface of the cable finder body 1. The rear side plate 14 is perpendicular to and fixedly connected to the cable finder body 1. The rear side plate 14 has a hook hole 15, which can be used to hang the cable finder in a specific position for easy storage and organization. An adjusting bolt 16 is installed on the rear side plate 14. The adjusting bolt 16 is connected to the wiring frame 4 through a bearing seat. A guide rod 18 is connected between the wiring frame 4 and the rear side plate 14. The guide rod 18 passes through the movable strip 17 and is slidably connected to the movable strip 17. When it is necessary to carry and move the cable finder body 1, the anti-detachment properties of the connector 5 and the power cord 6 need to be further improved. Rotating the adjusting bolt 16 causes the movable strip 17 to move along the guide rod 18 toward the U-shaped block 11. The movable bar 17 moves in a certain direction, and then the pressure plates 19 on both sides of the movable bar 17 will move accordingly. When the pressure plates 19 move to abut against the groove on the U-shaped block 11, they will limit the movement of the U-shaped block 11, preventing it from shifting and enhancing the fixing effect of the connector 5. This indirect fixing method avoids directly pressing the power cord 6, reducing the risk of damage to the internal core wires of the power cord 6. The movable bar 17 is installed on the adjusting bolt 16, and pressure plates 19 are installed on both sides of the movable bar 17. The pressure plates 19 correspond to the U-shaped block 11 and are located on the rear side of the U-shaped block 11. The pressure plates 19 are slidably connected to the groove on the U-shaped block 11. The pressure plates 19 facilitate further limiting of the U-shaped block 11, improving the anti-detachment effect of the connector 5 and the power cord 6.
[0034] Working principle: When using the cable finder with an anti-detachment mechanism, firstly, when wiring the cable finder body 1, hold the anti-sliding block 2 on the cable finder body 1 with one hand, and then use the index and middle fingers to push the U-shaped blocks 11 on the left and right sides outward until they abut against the stop block 10, so that the U-shaped blocks 11 drive the abutment block 12 to move in the opposite direction. At this time, the telescopic spring 13 is in the stretched state. Insert the connector 5 into the wiring port 3 of the cable finder body 1. At this time, the limiting block 7 on the connector 5 enters the wiring frame 4. The abutment grooves 8 on the left and right sides of the limiting block 7 are respectively opposite to the abutment blocks 12 on the limiting rods 9 on both sides of the wiring frame 4. Then release the U-shaped block 11. The U-shaped block 11 and the abutment block 12 move relative to each other and reset under the action of the telescopic spring 13, so that the abutment block 12 engages with the abutment groove 8 on the limiting block 7, thereby completing the anti-detachment positioning of the limiting block 7, connector 5 and power cord 6.
[0035] When the cable finder body 1 needs to be moved, the anti-detachment properties of the connector 5 and power cord 6 need to be further improved. Rotating the adjusting bolt 16 causes the movable strip 17 to move along the guide rod 18 towards the U-shaped block 11. Then, the pressure plates 19 on both sides of the movable strip 17 move accordingly. When the pressure plates 19 move to abut against the groove on the U-shaped block 11, they limit the movement of the U-shaped block 11, preventing displacement and enhancing the fixation of the connector 5. This indirect fixing method avoids directly pressing the power cord 6, reducing the risk of damage to the internal core wires of the power cord 6, thus completing a series of tasks. Content not described in detail in this specification belongs to prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
