Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable storage technology, specifically relating to a hidden storage box for camera cables. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of security monitoring technology, cameras have been widely used in smart cities, industrial monitoring, smart homes and other scenarios. The stable operation of cameras depends on the connection of various cables such as power cords, signal cables and data cables. However, in actual installation and use, camera cables are often exposed due to redundant length and complicated types. This not only affects the overall aesthetics of the equipment, but also makes the cables prone to wear and breakage due to external friction and pulling, and may even cause short circuits, signal interruptions and other faults. Therefore, a storage box that can effectively hide and protect camera cables is needed to hide and store them.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN219321999U discloses "a cable management rack that can hide excess cables", which includes a cable storage box. The side wall of the cable storage box is provided with a front cable outlet hole and a rear cable outlet hole, which are arranged opposite to each other. The bottom wall of the cable storage box is provided with multiple cable winding rods, and multiple cable management rods are detachably and movablely arranged on the side wall of the cable storage box near the front cable outlet hole. The multiple cable management rods are spaced apart.

[0004] While existing cable concealment devices can arrange and conceal cables in a regular manner by setting forward and rear cable entry / exit holes and a winding rod on the cable storage box, achieving the goals of convenient maintenance and aesthetics, practical use has revealed significant drawbacks. When the cable is wound around the winding rod, it is usually under tension. In this state, if the cable is accidentally pulled, the tension will generate a large friction force between the cable and the winding rod. Frequent friction will cause the cable insulation layer to gradually wear down, and in severe cases, it may even damage the internal core structure of the cable, greatly shortening the cable's service life and increasing maintenance costs and system failure risks. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides the following technical solution: a hidden storage box for camera cables, including a rectangular storage box 1, a detachable top cover 2 on the top of the rectangular storage box 1, and cable inlets 3 and cable outlets 4 on its two side walls respectively; four vertically upward mounting brackets 11 are provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the rectangular storage box 1, and a cable winding rod 5 is provided between each two adjacent mounting brackets 11, the axis of each cable winding rod 5 coincides with the center line connecting the corresponding cable inlet 3 and cable outlet 4; four sets of support components 100 are respectively provided on the four mounting brackets 11, two sets of support components 100 correspond to the positions of the cable inlets 3 on both sides respectively, and the other two sets of support components 100 correspond to the positions of the cable outlets 4 on both sides respectively. The support components 100 are used to support the cable when it is pulled by external force. 100 provides buffer displacement. The support assembly 100 includes an arc-shaped plate 105 fixed inside the rectangular storage box 1. A slide rod 101 passes through the mounting bracket 11. A movable frame 102 is fixed to one end of the slide rod 101. A roller 103 is rotatably connected to the movable frame 102. A return spring 104 is sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod 101. The two ends of the return spring 104 abut against the movable frame 102 and the mounting bracket 11, respectively. In use, the camera cable can be introduced from the inlet 3, guided by the take-up rod 5, and led out from the outlet 4. During this process, the cable will pass through the support assembly 100. To avoid excess cable being exposed, the excess cable can be wound around the take-up rod 5. A section of the cable will be located on the outer wall of the roller 103. When the return spring 104 is in the initial position (as indicated by the attached...), Figure 4 As shown, the moving frame 102 will drive the roller 103 to press against the cable, so that the cable is in a V-shape and limited. This not only prevents the cable from loosening, but also provides a certain buffer space. When the cable is pulled by an external force, the roller 103 will move on the outer wall of the arc plate 105. As the roller 103 moves, the moving frame 102 will move. As the moving frame 102 moves, it will squeeze the return spring 104, causing the return spring 104 to contract and generate elastic force. This elastic force can play a buffering role, reducing the friction between the cable and the roller 103 and the arc plate 105, preventing the cable from being worn due to a large friction force at one moment, effectively extending the service life of the cable, reducing maintenance costs and system failure risks.

[0027] Preferably, by Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a pair of guide rods 106 are fixed on one side of the movable frame 102, and one end of the pair of guide rods 106 passes through the mounting frame 11; the guide rods 106 can guide the movement of the movable frame 102, prevent the movable frame 102 from deviating during the movement, and further improve the stability of the support assembly 100.

[0028] Preferably, by Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, both the roller 103 and the arc plate 105 are made of nylon, and the outer wall of the roller 103 abuts against the outer wall of the arc plate 105. Nylon material has high wear resistance and self-lubrication, which can further reduce the friction between the cable and the roller 103 and the arc plate 105, and improve the service life of the cable.

[0029] Preferably, by Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the rectangular storage box 1 has an opening 7 above the inlet 3 and outlet 4. The opening 7 communicates with the inlet 3 and outlet 4. The top of the rectangular storage box 1 is fitted with four U-shaped brackets 8, which are used to close the opening 7. In use, the cable can enter the rectangular storage box 1 through the opening 7 so that the cable can be threaded through the inlet 3 and outlet 4. When it is necessary to close the top of the rectangular storage box 1, the four U-shaped brackets 8 can be fitted on the top of the rectangular storage box 1 respectively, so that the U-shaped brackets 8 cover the opening 7, thereby preventing the cable from moving into the opening 7.

[0030] Preferably, by Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a fixing cover 6 is fixed to the top of the cable retractor 5, and two reinforcing plates 12 are fixed to one side of the mounting bracket 11. The fixing cover 6 can effectively prevent the cable from falling off the top of the cable retractor 5 when it is wrapped around it, thereby significantly improving the cable storage effect of the rectangular storage box 1. In addition, the configuration of the reinforcing plates 12 enhances the structural strength of the mounting bracket 11, effectively preventing it from deforming during long-term use, and further ensuring the stability and reliability of the support assembly 100.

[0031] Preferably, by Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the rectangular storage box 1 is fixed with support rods 9 on both sides of the four openings 7, and each of the four U-shaped frames 8 has a positioning hole 10 for inserting two support rods 9. When it is necessary to put the U-shaped frame 8 on the top of the rectangular storage box 1, the positioning hole 10 on the U-shaped frame 8 can be aligned with the support rod 9 and inserted, thereby realizing the quick positioning of the U-shaped frame 8. This not only facilitates operation but also improves the practicality of the rectangular storage box 1. In addition, the cooperative arrangement of the support rods 9 and the positioning hole 10 can also limit the U-shaped frame 8, preventing the U-shaped frame 8 from shaking or falling off during use, further improving the stability of the rectangular storage box 1.

[0032] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.

[0033] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When in use, first remove the top cover 2 from the top of the rectangular storage box 1 to expose the internal structure such as the mounting bracket 11, the cable winding rod 5 and the support component 100. Then, introduce the outer wall of the camera cable into the inlet 3 and the outlet 4 through the opening 7. After passing through the support component 100, lead it out from the outlet 4 and connect it to the camera or related equipment.

[0034] During this process, excess cable needs to be handled. The length of the cable is observed, and the excess part that exceeds the actual use needs is neatly wrapped around the take-up bar 5. The fixing cap 6 at the top of the take-up bar 5 can effectively prevent the cable from falling off the top during the winding process, ensuring that the excess cable is stably stored in the box and not exposed to the outside. At the same time, a section of cable will naturally be located on the outer wall of the roller 103 in the support component 100. At this time, the reset spring 104 is in the initial position, which will push the moving frame 102 to drive the roller 103 to press against the cable, so that the cable is limited in a V-shape. This not only prevents the cable from becoming loose, but also leaves a certain buffer space.

[0035] After the cable is introduced and wound, the opening 7 needs to be closed. The four U-shaped brackets 8 are respectively placed on the top of the rectangular storage box 1. The positioning holes 10 on the U-shaped brackets 8 are aligned with the support rods 9 on the top of the rectangular storage box 1 and inserted to achieve quick positioning and fixation of the U-shaped brackets 8, thereby covering the top of the opening 7 and preventing the cable from moving into the opening 7. Finally, the top cover 2 is installed back on the top of the rectangular storage box 1 to complete the assembly of the entire storage box.

[0036] When the cable is pulled by an external force, the pulling force will act on the cable located on the outer wall of the roller 103, thereby driving the roller 103 to move on the outer wall of the arc plate 105. At the same time, the roller 103 will drive the moving frame 102 to move synchronously. The moving frame 102 moves along the mounting frame 11 under the guidance of the slide rod 101. At this time, the return spring 104 sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod 101 will be compressed by the moving frame 102 and contract, while generating a reverse elastic force. This elastic force will buffer the pulling force on the cable, reduce the friction between the cable and the roller 103 and the arc plate 105, and prevent the cable from being worn due to excessive instantaneous force. Moreover, the guide rod 106 on one side of the moving frame 102 passes through the mounting frame 11 and can guide the moving frame 102 during the movement to prevent it from deviating and ensure that the support component 100 can stably play a buffering role.

[0037] When the external force disappears, the reset spring 104 will return to its initial state, pushing the moving frame 102 and the roller 103 back to their original positions, pressing against the cable again, so that the cable will return to the V-shaped limit state.

[0038] In daily use, if it is necessary to inspect or adjust the cable, simply remove the top cover 2. If the cable routing adjustment is involved, the U-shaped bracket 8 can be removed from the top of the rectangular storage box 1, and the opening 7 can be opened for operation. After the operation is completed, the U-shaped bracket 8 and the top cover 2 can be fixed again according to the above steps. The reinforcing plate 12 on one side of the mounting bracket 11 enhances the structural strength of the mounting bracket 11, ensuring that it is not easily deformed during long-term use and under stress, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the support component 100 and other structures.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
