Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of cable fittings technology, and more specifically, to a folding cable reel. Background Technology

[0002] In power engineering, communication engineering, and various fields involving cable laying and recycling, cable reels are key tools for winding and transporting cables. Traditional cable reels are usually integral structures, which have revealed many drawbacks in practical applications.

[0003] The bulky and fixed integrated cable reel takes up a lot of storage space when not in use. In some narrow construction sites or warehouses with limited space, its large size causes great inconvenience for storage and transportation. For example, in the power renovation project of old urban communities, the construction site is narrow and it is difficult to find a suitable place to put the traditional cable reel.

[0004] During transportation, integral cable reels, due to their fixed volume, require a large amount of transport space, leading to a significant increase in transportation costs. This is especially true for long-distance transportation or projects that require multiple transfers, where the increase in transportation costs is particularly pronounced.

[0005] Furthermore, the size requirements of cable reels often vary in different construction scenarios, and integral cable reels are difficult to adapt to various complex and changing working environments, lacking versatility and flexibility.

[0006] To address the problems associated with traditional cable reels and meet the growing demands for convenient construction, efficient storage, and transportation, it is essential to develop a foldable cable reel. Foldable cable reels can significantly reduce their size when not in use, facilitating storage and handling. During transportation, they can reduce space occupation and save on transportation costs. Furthermore, their shape can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of different construction scenarios, greatly improving the convenience and applicability of cable reels in practical applications. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a foldable cable reel, which solves the technical problem in related technologies / prior technologies that the size requirements of cable reels often vary in different construction scenarios, and that integral cable reels are difficult to flexibly adapt to various complex and changing working environments, lacking versatility and flexibility.

[0008] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a folding cable reel, comprising:

[0009] Inner liner, wherein movable pieces are connected to the opposite side walls of the inner liner;

[0010] A folding movable assembly is disposed between the inner liner and the movable piece;

[0011] A movable connection assembly is disposed at the edge of the inner liner sheet;

[0012] The folding movable component includes a flip piece connected to the inner lining piece. An inner lining frame is provided inside the movable piece. A limit frame is provided on the side wall of the inner lining frame. The limit frame is located between the inner lining frame and the movable piece. The end of the limit frame passes through the interior of the limit frame. A limit protrusion is provided on the side wall of the limit frame. A limit ring is provided at the edge of the side wall of the movable piece.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the number of the limiting frames is several, and the multiple limiting frames are grouped into groups of two. The inner sidewall of each group of limiting frames forms a sliding opening, and the end of the limiting frame is inserted into the sliding opening.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the movable connection assembly includes a movable cavity, which is opened on the outer side wall of the inner liner, and an mounting plate is disposed inside the movable cavity. The mounting plate is connected to the limiting frame by a pin.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the number of movable cavities is several, and multiple movable cavities are opened on the outer side wall of the inner liner, with each movable cavity being fitted with the movable piece.

[0016] As a further technical solution, both the interior of the inner liner frame and the interior of the inner liner sheet are provided with through rings, and the interior of the through rings is provided with through holes.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the side wall of the movable piece is provided with a movable hole, the limiting frame is provided with a movable shaft, the movable shaft is inserted into the interior of the movable hole, and the movable shaft is connected to the movable hole by a movable pin.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0019] 1. In this disclosure, the foldable cable reel can significantly reduce its space when idle by folding. Taking a conventional integral cable reel as an example, it requires a large storage area when stored. However, after folding, the volume of the foldable cable reel can be reduced to one-fifth or even less than the original, effectively alleviating the problem of tight warehouse space. Whether it is temporarily stored in a small construction site or stored for a long time in a large storage center, it can greatly improve the space utilization rate.

[0020] 2. In this disclosure, the advantages of foldable cable reels are fully demonstrated in the transportation process. Due to their foldable nature, their shape can be flexibly adjusted during transportation, reducing transportation costs by four-fifths and reducing space occupation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0029] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0033] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a folding cable reel in one embodiment of this disclosure is illustrated, comprising:

[0035] Inner liner 1, with movable pieces 2 connected to the opposite side walls of the inner liner 1;

[0036] Folding movable component 3 is disposed between inner liner 1 and movable piece 2;

[0037] The movable connecting component 4 is located at the edge of the inner liner 1;

[0038] The folding movable component 3 includes a flip piece 3-1, which is connected to the inner lining piece 1. An inner lining frame 3-2 is provided inside the movable piece 2. A limit frame 3-3 is provided on the side wall of the inner lining frame 3-2. The limit frame 3-3 is located between the inner lining frame 3-2 and the movable piece 2. The end of the limit frame 3-3 passes through the interior of the limit frame 3-3. A limit protrusion 3-4 is provided on the side wall of the limit frame 3-3. A limit ring 3-5 is provided at the edge of the side wall of the movable piece 2.

[0039] The movable connection assembly 4 includes a movable cavity 4-1, which is located on the outer side wall of the inner liner 1. An installation piece 4-2 is disposed inside the movable cavity 4-1, and the installation piece 4-2 is connected to the limiting frame 3-3 by a pin.

[0040] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes a number of limiting frames 3-3, with multiple limiting frames 3-3 forming a group of 2. The inner sidewall of each group of limiting frames 3-3 forms a sliding opening 3-6, and the end of the limiting frame 3-3 is inserted into the sliding opening 3-6.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are several movable cavities 4-1. Multiple movable cavities 4-1 are opened on the outer side wall of the inner lining piece 1. Each movable cavity 4-1 is fitted with a movable piece 2. Both the inner lining frame 3-2 and the inner lining piece 1 are provided with through rings 5. Through holes 6 are provided inside the through rings 5.

[0042] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side wall of the movable piece 2 is provided with a movable hole 7, and the limit frame 3-3 is provided with a movable shaft 8. The movable shaft 8 is inserted into the interior of the movable hole 7, and the movable shaft 8 and the movable hole 7 are connected by a movable pin.

[0043] Since the movable cavity 4-1 of the movable connecting assembly 4 is located on the outer wall of the inner liner 1, the movable piece 2 inside the movable cavity 4-1 is connected to the limiting frame 3-3 by a pin. When the movable piece 2 is grasped and gently pulled outwards, it rotates around the pin connected to the limiting frame 3-3, thereby driving the limiting frame 3-3 to move. There are several limiting frames 3-3, arranged in groups of two. Each group of limiting frames 3-3 has a sliding opening 3-6 formed on its inner wall. The end of the limiting frame 3-3 is inserted into the sliding opening 3-6. During the pulling of the movable piece 2, the end of the limiting frame 3-3 will slide along the sliding opening 3-6. At the same time, the inner liner frame 3-2 inside the movable piece 2 will also move. The movable piece 2 is connected to the inner liner 1 through the folding movable component 3. The flip piece 3-1 in the folding movable component 3 is connected to the inner liner 1. As the movable piece 2 unfolds, the flip piece 3-1 will also rotate accordingly, so that the movable piece 2 gradually unfolds to a suitable angle with the inner liner 1, until the entire cable shaft is unfolded to a usable state.

[0044] After the cable reel is unfolded, since both the inner liner 3-2 and the inner liner 1 are equipped with through rings 5 ​​and through holes 6, one end of the cable is passed through one of the through holes 6 and then the cable reel is wound around. During the winding process, the limiting rings 3-5 on the side wall of the movable piece 2 and the limiting protrusions 3-4 on the side wall of the limiting frame 3-3 can play a certain limiting role to prevent the cable from sliding randomly during the winding process and ensure the neatness of the cable winding.

[0045] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
