Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device connection accessories technology, and in particular to an audio and video cable fixing bracket assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic devices typically use audio / video cables such as HDMI and USB cables to transmit signals. When these cables are connected to interfaces on devices, the weight of the cables themselves or external forces applied during use can increase pressure at the interfaces, causing the cable connectors to loosen and detach, resulting in signal interruption. Excessive force can even damage the cable connectors or device interfaces. To improve the stability of the connection between cables and devices, auxiliary structures are often used to secure the cables.

[0003] For example, utility model patent document CN216289284U discloses a data cable plug fixing structure. The technical solution of this structure includes a fixing body with a locking structure at one end. This locking structure is used to match and engage with a locking socket located on the data cable port side of the device body. The fixing body also has a connecting structure for connecting the data cable plug. Therefore, when the data cable plug is inserted into the data cable port on the device body, it provides a certain degree of fixation, preventing the plug from becoming loose. While this utility model patent's technical solution can fix the data cable plug, it can only fix a single plug. Furthermore, it uses a snap-fit ​​connection to fix the structure to the data cable, and the snap-fit ​​part is located at the connection point between the data cable and the plug. Repeated snapping during long-term use may damage this part. Utility Model Content

[0016] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide further details.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", "down", "inner", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the audio / video cable fixing assembly disclosed in this utility model consists of a fixing bracket 100, a fastening strap 200, and a fixing member 300. The fixing bracket 100 serves as a relay connection between the equipment housing 500 and the cable connector 400. The fastening strap 200 is used to fix the cable connector 400 onto the fixing bracket 100, and the fixing member 300 is used to fix the fixing bracket 100 onto the equipment housing 500. Since the fastening strap 200 is used to fix the cable connector 400, the number of cable connectors 400 that can be fixed can be increased by adjusting the fastening size of the fastening strap 200, thereby enabling the fixing of multiple adjacent cable connectors 400 with one audio / video cable fixing assembly.

[0019] This invention provides rigid support for the cable connector 400 via a fixing bracket 100, transferring the load-bearing portion of the cable from the device interface to the device housing 500, forming a rigid connection with the housing 500. This completely disperses the force at the device interface, preventing loosening caused by the cable's weight directly acting on the interface. Furthermore, the fastening strap 200 limits and fixes the cable connector 400, improving the stability of the connection between the cable connector 400 and the device interface. The tightness of the fastening strap 200 is adjustable, allowing for the fixing of multiple cable connectors 400 and facilitating tightening operations. Additionally, the fixing direction of the fixing bracket 100 can be adjusted according to space requirements, such as fixing it above, below, or to the side of the cable connector 400, further expanding the applicability of this invention. This utility model, through the cooperation of the fixed bracket 100, the fastening strap 200 and the fixing component 300, forms a firm connection between the cable and the equipment, which can effectively resist the vibration during transportation or use.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the fixing bracket 100 used in this utility model includes a base plate 110, a side plate 120, and a fixing plate 130. The base plate 110 serves as the direct contact part between the fixing bracket 100 and the cable connector 400. The shape of the base plate 110 can be set according to the shape of the cable connector 400 being fixed. For example, when the cable connector 400 is a rectangular connector, the base plate 110 can adopt a flat plate structure; for example, when the cable connector 400 is a circular connector, the base plate 110 can adopt an arc-shaped plate structure. This can improve the compatibility between the base plate 110 and the cable connector 400, and give the cable connector 400 and the base plate 110 a better fit. Side plates 120 are used to support and limit the fastening strap 200. A side plate 120 is fixed to each side of the base plate 110, and a limiting groove 140 is provided on the side plate 120. The fastening strap 200 is embedded in the limiting groove 140. The limiting groove 140 limits the fastening strap 200 to prevent it from sliding or shifting. The limiting effect of the limiting groove 140 on the fastening strap 200 makes the fixation of the fastening strap 200 to the cable connector 400 more reliable. The transition between the limiting groove 140 and the side plate 120 is set as an arc transition to avoid damage to the fastening strap 200. The limiting groove 140 can also be implemented as a through hole in the side plate 120, through which the fastening strap 200 passes. In this invention, a notch-shaped limiting groove 140 is preferred to facilitate the installation of the fastening strap 200. The number of limiting grooves 140 provided on the side plate 120 can be increased to increase the number of fastening straps 200, thus accommodating more fastening straps 200 and improving load capacity. The fixing plate 130 is used to cooperate with the fixing member 300 to fix the fixing bracket 100 to the equipment housing 500. The fixing plate 130 is provided with fixing holes 150 that are adapted to the fixing member 300. When fixing the fixing bracket 100 to the equipment housing 500, the fixing member 300 can be passed through the fixing hole 150 first and then connected to the equipment housing 500, or the fixing member 300 can be fixed to the equipment housing 500 first and then the fixing bracket 100 can be hooked onto the fixing member 300 through the fixing hole 150.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end of the base plate 110 that is not connected to the fixing plate 130 is set as an arc end, which can prevent scratches and avoid scratching the cable or cable connector 400 during installation.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a clearance hole 160 at one end of the base plate 110 connected to the fixing plate 130. The clearance hole 160 directly communicates with the fixing hole 150 provided on the fixing plate 130 to form an integral structure. By providing the clearance hole 160 on the base plate 110 and communicating with the fixing hole 150 on the fixing plate 130, the fixing bracket 100 can be connected to the fixing member 300 that is already fixed on the equipment housing 500 by means of a hook, which facilitates the connection and fixation between the fixing bracket 100 and the equipment housing 500.

[0023] The fastening strap 200 in this invention can be a cable tie, Velcro strap, or elastic band. Cable ties provide a more secure fastening effect, while Velcro straps and elastic bands facilitate fastening operations. The fixing element 300 in this invention can be a screw, threaded rod, bolt, or elastic buckle. When using a screw, threaded rod, or bolt as the fixing element 300, corresponding connection holes need to be provided on the equipment housing 500. When using an elastic buckle as the fixing element 300, it can cooperate with the existing slots or edges on the equipment housing 500 to achieve tool-free installation, which is convenient and requires no drilling. In another embodiment, a magnetic component can also be used as the fixing element 300, suitable for metal equipment housings 500. The strong magnetic attraction of the magnetic component allows for quick installation, but its load-bearing capacity is relatively poor.

[0024] The fixed bracket 100 in this utility model is made of cold-rolled steel plate, which is processed by laser cutting, bending and powder coating. It does not require molds, has low production costs and high overall strength. The fixed bracket 100 can also be made of aluminum alloy plate, which is processed by laser cutting, bending and surface sandblasting or anodizing, and has the characteristics of being lightweight and highly corrosion resistant. The fixed bracket 100 can also be made of engineering plastics such as ABS or PC, which is formed by injection molding or vacuum forming using plastic molds, and has the characteristics of being aesthetically pleasing and lightweight.
