Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable storage technology, and in particular to a cable storage device for computer rooms. Background Technology

[0002] In order to meet the complex layout requirements such as cross-rack connections and cable tray turns between equipment, the cables inside the computer room are usually longer than the actual connection distance. In order to keep the computer room tidy, the excess cables are stored to effectively prevent the cables from getting tangled and knotted, making it easier for staff to organize the cables later.

[0003] Traditionally, excess cables are manually coiled into bundles and secured with cable ties. However, the one-time locking characteristic of cable ties results in a rigid, non-adjustable cable bundle. When the cables need to be resized, the cable ties must be cut and the cables re-coiled and secured. This not only wastes cable ties but also requires re-coiling and bundling the cables, making the process cumbersome. To address this, we provide a cable management device for computer rooms. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a cable management device for computer rooms, which solves the problem that traditional methods involve manually winding excess cables into bundles and securing them with cable ties. However, the cable ties, due to their one-time locking characteristic, result in a rigid, non-adjustable cable bundle. When the cables need to be resized, the cable ties must be cut and the cables rewound and secured, which not only wastes cable ties but also requires re-winding and bundling the cables, making the process cumbersome.

[0005] The purpose and effect of this utility model of a computer room cable storage device are achieved by the following specific technical means: A computer room cable storage device includes a mounting plate. The front side of the mounting plate is provided with a winding assembly for winding and storing cables. The winding assembly includes a positive and negative threaded rod rotatably connected to the front side of the mounting plate. The outer surface of the positive and negative threaded rod is threaded with a set of moving blocks. Each moving block is fixedly connected to a winding roller on its front side.

[0006] The winding assembly also includes a limiting structure disposed on the winding roller to prevent the cable from coming loose.

[0007] Preferably, an L-shaped sliding plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each of the movable blocks, and a sliding frame is slidably connected to the outside of a group of L-shaped sliding plates, with the back of the sliding frame connected to the front of the mounting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting structure includes a square groove formed on the front side of each winding roller, a square post inserted into the interior of each square groove, and a U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the front end of each square post.

[0009] Preferably, a sponge pad is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top of each U-shaped frame and the upper surface of the bottom of the U-shaped frame.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting block is provided between a group of U-shaped frames, and a set of connecting plates is slidably connected to the connecting block, with the other end of each connecting plate connected to the front end of the U-shaped frame.

[0011] Preferably, a retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each winding roller, and each retaining ring is located at the rear end of the winding roller.

[0012] Preferably, a throttle is fixedly connected to the right end of the positive and negative threaded rod, and an anti-slip sleeve is fitted on the outer surface of the throttle.

[0013] Preferably, the front and back of the mounting plate are both fixedly connected to fixing blocks, and the two sets of fixing blocks are symmetrically arranged.

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] The winding assembly allows for the winding of excess cables in the computer room. The U-shaped frame helps to limit the cable storage and prevent it from becoming loose. When the cable needs to be resized, simply reduce the spacing between the winding rollers to release the cable tension. The cable can then be easily pulled to the desired length, enabling quick and precise cable resizing. This avoids material waste, significantly simplifies cable management, and improves the flexibility and maintenance efficiency of computer room cabling.

[0016] The L-shaped sliding plate and the sliding frame work together to provide stable guidance for the moving block, ensuring that it drives the winding roller to slide smoothly under the drive of the positive and negative threaded rods. The retaining ring effectively constrains the radial displacement of the cable, preventing it from leaving the limit area of ​​the U-shaped frame under vibration conditions, thus avoiding the cable from automatically coming loose.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] As attached Figure 1 As shown: A data center cable storage device includes a mounting plate 1. Fixing blocks 3 are fixedly connected to both the front and back of the mounting plate 1. The two sets of fixing blocks 3 are symmetrically arranged. The fixing blocks 3 facilitate the installation of the mounting plate 1 by the staff and enable the subsequent cable storage work.

[0025] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 With appendix Figure 3 As shown: The front of the mounting plate 1 is provided with a winding assembly 2 for winding and storing cables. The winding assembly 2 includes a positive and negative threaded rod 201 rotatably connected to the front of the mounting plate 1. A set of moving blocks 202 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the positive and negative threaded rod 201. Each moving block 202 is fixedly connected to the front of a winding roller 203. When it is necessary to store and organize the cables, redundant cables can be wound in an orderly manner around the outside of the two winding rollers 203 to ensure that the cables are evenly layered and avoid cross knots. At the same time, by rotating the positive and negative threaded rod 201, the two moving blocks 202 can be driven to move synchronously in opposite directions or towards each other, which can increase or decrease the distance between the winding rollers 203. When the winding rollers 203 are far apart, they can open up the wound cables to prevent them from loosening. When they are close together, they release tension to facilitate pulling, making the scaling and adjustment of the cables more convenient and efficient. A handle 213 is fixedly connected to the right end of the positive and negative threaded rod 201. The outer surface of the handle 213 is covered with an anti-slip sleeve, which allows the operator to easily rotate the positive and negative threaded rod 201.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 With appendix Figure 2As shown: Each moving block 202 has an L-shaped slide plate 204 fixedly connected to its upper surface. A set of L-shaped slide plates 204 are slidably connected to a slide frame 205. The back of the slide frame 205 is connected to the front of the mounting plate 1. Through the precise cooperation between the L-shaped slide plate 204 and the slide frame 205, a stable linear guide mechanism is formed, ensuring that the moving block 202 slides smoothly along a predetermined trajectory under the drive of the positive and negative threaded rods 201, and ensuring that the moving block 202 drives the winding roller 203 to move stably.

[0027] As attached Figure 2 With appendix Figure 4 As shown: The winding assembly 2 also includes a limiting structure disposed on the winding roller 203 to prevent the cable from loosening. The limiting structure includes a square groove 206 opened on the front side of each winding roller 203. A square post 207 is inserted into the inside of each square groove 206. A U-shaped frame 208 is fixedly connected to the front end of each square post 207. By cooperating with the square post 207 and the square groove 206, the U-shaped frame 208 can be fixed, so that the U-shaped frame 208 can be stably placed on the outside of the cable wound on the winding roller 203, which can limit the cable and keep it in a certain tension state, thereby preventing the cable from loosening.

[0028] As attached Figure 2 With appendix Figure 3 As shown: Each winding roller 203 has a retaining ring 212 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each retaining ring 212 is located at the rear end of the winding roller 203. The retaining ring 212 can limit the winding cable and ensure that the cable is within the limiting area of ​​the U-shaped frame 208, so that the winding cable can maintain a certain tension. The bottom surface of the top end of each U-shaped frame 208 and the top surface of the bottom end of each U-shaped frame 208 are fixedly connected to a sponge pad 209. The high elasticity sponge pad 209 can buffer and protect the winding cable. Its surface corrugated structure and internal honeycomb air chamber can effectively disperse mechanical stress and absorb vibration energy.

[0029] As attached Figure 4 As shown: A connecting block 210 is provided between a group of U-shaped frames 208. A set of connecting plates 211 are slidably connected to the connecting block 210. The other end of each connecting plate 211 is connected to the front end of the U-shaped frame 208. By using the cooperation of the connecting block 210 and the connecting plate 211, the U-shaped frames 208 can be connected, which improves the firmness between the U-shaped frames 208.

[0030] Working principle: First, fix the mounting plate 1 in a suitable position inside the computer room. Then, wind the redundant cable around the outside of the two winding rollers 203. Next, precisely insert the square post 207 into the corresponding square slot 206, so that the U-shaped frame 208 is firmly engaged on the outside of the winding roller 203, thereby forming a reliable limit protection for the coiled cable and effectively preventing it from loosening due to vibration or movement. The positive and negative threaded rods 201 can be rotated to make the two moving blocks 202 drive the winding rollers 203 to move away from each other, which can further expand the coiled cable, thereby greatly improving the stability of the cable outside the winding rollers 203. When it is necessary to scale the cable, simply rotate the positive and negative threaded rods 201 to drive the two moving blocks 202 to move synchronously towards each other, causing the winding rollers 203 to move closer to each other to release the cable tension. At this time, the cable can be easily pulled to the required length, realizing fast and accurate cable scaling adjustment. This not only avoids material waste, but also significantly simplifies the operation process of cable management and improves the flexibility and maintenance efficiency of computer room cabling.
