A network cable storage device convenient to draw

Abstract

This invention provides a convenient pull-out network cable storage device, including a storage box, a winding assembly, and a limiting assembly. When the network cable needs to be extended, pulling both ends of the cable will rotate the winding ring, releasing the cable wound on it. The rotation of the winding ring causes the coil spring to contract and store force via a turntable. When the cable is pulled to the appropriate length, the pulling force can be released. At this time, the limiting assembly prevents the winding ring from reversing. When the cable needs to be retracted, adjusting the limiting assembly will release the restriction on the turntable's reversal. The reaction force of the coil spring will then cause the turntable to reverse, which in turn drives the winding ring to reverse and wind up the cable. The length of the cable can be adjusted by pulling both ends of the cable or releasing the restriction on the turntable's reversal. This operation is convenient and improves the efficiency of cable length adjustment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network cable storage technology, specifically to a network cable storage device that is easy to pull out. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when it is necessary to change the location of the network cable connection device, a network cable storage device is needed to adjust the length of the network cable. If the network cable is discarded at will, it will not only cause inconvenience for subsequent use, but also affect the environment of the information department.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number 202220377681.3 discloses a network cable storage device, including a base plate and a lifting assembly. A base is provided on the top surface of the base plate, and a fixed column is provided inside the base plate. A housing is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the base plate, and a first motor is provided inside the housing. The output end of the first motor is connected to a lead screw. The lead screw passes through the interior of the base plate and the base and extends into the interior of the fixed column. The lead screw is fixedly connected to the fixed column, and a movable cavity is provided through the top of the fixed column.

[0004] Existing network cable storage devices require the cable to rotate around a fixed post to extend or shorten it, which is cumbersome and reduces the efficiency of cable length adjustment. Therefore, to address these issues, a pull-out network cable storage device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a pull-out network cable storage device that is easy to operate and improves the efficiency of adjusting network cable length.

[0007] The storage box has a storage cavity at the top, and a cover plate that can be detachably installed at the top of the storage box to cover the opening of the storage cavity;

[0008] A winding assembly includes a turntable, a winding ring, and a winding spring. The turntable is coaxially and rotatably disposed within the storage cavity. The winding ring is coaxially disposed at the top of the turntable. Two sets of first grooves are formed opposite each other on the circumference of the winding ring. Two sets of second grooves communicating with the storage cavity are formed opposite each other on the circumference of the storage box. The winding spring is located at the bottom of the turntable, and its two ends are respectively connected to the turntable and the wall of the storage cavity.

At this point, the limiting component prevents the winding ring from reversing via the turntable. When the cable needs to be retracted, adjust the limiting component to remove the restriction on the turntable's reversal. The reaction force of the coil spring will then cause the turntable to reverse, which in turn causes the winding ring to reverse, winding up the cable. The length of the network cable can be adjusted by pulling on both ends or removing the restriction on the turntable's reversal. This operation is convenient and improves the efficiency of network cable length adjustment.

[0014] In one embodiment, the limiting component includes a ratchet, a pawl, a spring, and a first knob; the ratchet is coaxially disposed at the bottom end of the turntable, one end of the pawl is rotatably disposed on the bottom surface of the storage cavity, and the other end engages with the ratchet, the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the peripheral wall of the storage cavity and the outer side of the pawl to maintain the engagement between the ratchet and the pawl, and the first knob is rotatably disposed at the bottom end of the storage box and coaxially connected to the pawl's rotating shaft.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of a pull-out network cable storage device includes a storage box 10, a winding assembly, and a limiting assembly.

[0033] The storage box 10 has a storage cavity 101 at its top, and a cover plate 102 that covers the opening of the storage cavity 101 is detachably provided at the top of the storage box 10. The winding assembly includes a turntable 20, a winding ring 201, and a coil spring 202. The turntable 20 is rotatably disposed coaxially in the storage cavity 101. The winding ring 201 is coaxially disposed at the top of the turntable 20. Two sets of first grooves 203 are provided on opposite sides of the winding ring 201. Two sets of second grooves 103 communicating with the storage cavity 101 are provided on opposite sides of the storage box 10. The coil spring 202 is located at the bottom of the turntable 20, and its two ends are respectively connected to the walls of the turntable 20 and the storage cavity 101. A limiting component is disposed on the storage box 10 and connected to the turntable 20 to limit or cancel the reverse rotation of the turntable 20 when the coil spring 202 is charged.

[0034] In the above embodiment, when it is necessary to extend the network cable 1, the winding ring 201 can be rotated by pulling both ends of the network cable 1, thereby releasing the network cable 1 wound on the winding ring 201. The rotation of the winding ring 201 causes the coil spring 202 to contract and store force through the turntable 20. When the network cable 1 is pulled to a suitable length, the pulling force on the network cable 1 can be released. At this time, the limiting component restricts the winding ring 201 from reversing through the turntable 20. When it is necessary to shrink the network cable 1, the limiting component can be adjusted to release the restriction on the reversal of the turntable 20. At this time, the reaction force of the coil spring 202 can make the turntable 20 reverse. The reversal of the turntable 20 drives the winding ring 201 to reverse, thereby winding the network cable 1. The length of the network cable 1 can be adjusted by pulling both ends of the network cable 1 or releasing the restriction on the reversal of the turntable 20. The operation is convenient and improves the efficiency of adjusting the length of the network cable 1.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the storage box 10 has multiple sets of slots 104 evenly distributed around its periphery, and the cover plate 102 is provided with multiple sets of elastic buckles 1021 corresponding to the multiple sets of slots 104. The multiple sets of elastic buckles 1021 can be locked into the multiple sets of slots 104. The cover plate 102 and the storage box 10 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, making it convenient to install and remove the cover plate 102, thereby further facilitating the placement or removal of the network cable 1 from the device.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, sponge blocks 105 are bonded and fixed in both sets of second wire grooves 103. Both sets of sponge blocks 105 have through holes 1051, through which the network cable 1 can pass. The inner wall of the through hole 1051 is in contact with the periphery of the network cable 1.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the limiting component includes a ratchet 30, a pawl 301, a spring 302, and a first knob 303. The ratchet 30 is coaxially disposed at the bottom of the turntable 20. One end of the pawl 301 is rotatably disposed on the bottom surface of the storage cavity 101, and the other end engages with the ratchet 30. The two ends of the spring 302 are respectively connected to the peripheral wall of the storage cavity 101 and the outside of the pawl 301 to maintain the engagement between the ratchet 30 and the pawl 301. The first knob 303 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the storage box 10 and is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the pawl 301.

[0038] In the above embodiment, when the turntable 20 rotates and causes the coil spring 202 to retract and store power, the turntable 20 simultaneously drives the ratchet 30 to rotate. At this time, the pawl 301 cooperates with the ratchet 30 to restrict the reverse rotation of the ratchet 30, thereby facilitating the restriction of the turntable 20 to rotate. By rotating the first knob 303, the pawl 301 is driven to rotate, causing the pawl 301 to separate from the ratchet 30. At this time, the pawl 301 releases the restriction on the reverse rotation of the ratchet 30, thereby releasing the restriction on the reverse rotation of the turntable 20. At this time, the coil spring 202 can drive the turntable 20 to rotate in reverse, making it convenient to restrict or release the restriction on the reverse rotation of the turntable 20.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the winding assembly further includes an adjustment assembly; the winding ring 201 includes two sets of semicircular rings 2011, with first grooves 203 provided on the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 facing each other, and the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 can be slidably disposed on the top of the turntable 20 along the radial direction of the turntable 20. The adjustment assembly is disposed on the turntable 20 and connected to the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 to drive the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 to move closer or further apart.

[0040] In the above embodiment, by adjusting the component to drive the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 to move closer or further apart, the rotation of the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 can be adjusted to one revolution, and the length of the net cable 1 wound on the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the speed at which the turntable 20 of the coil spring 202 reverses and rewinds the net cable 1, improving the practicality of the device.

[0041] Please see Figure 6In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes a bidirectional screw 40, a second knob 401, and a bevel gear 402. The bidirectional screw 40 is rotatably mounted on the turntable 20 and arranged radially thereon. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 40 are threadedly connected to two sets of semicircular rings 2011. The second knob 401 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft of the turntable 20, with one end located outside the storage box 10. The other end of the second knob 401 and the bidirectional screw 40 are coaxially mounted with bevel gears 402, and the two sets of bevel gears 402 mesh.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the bidirectional screw 40 can be driven to rotate by rotating the second knob 401 through the meshing of two sets of bevel gears 402. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 40 and the threaded engagement of the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 can drive the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 to move closer or further apart, which is convenient for driving the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 to move closer or further apart.

[0043] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, a guide groove 204 is provided at the top of the turntable 20, and guide blocks 2012 are provided at the bottom of each of the two sets of semicircular rings 2011. The two sets of guide blocks 2012 are slidably disposed in the guide groove 204 along the radial direction of the turntable 20. A bidirectional screw 40 is rotatably disposed in the guide groove 204, and its two ends are threadedly connected to the two sets of guide blocks 2012 respectively. By providing the guide groove 204 and cooperating with the guide blocks 2012, the stability of the two sets of semicircular rings 2011 during sliding can be improved.

[0044] The specific implementation of the above-mentioned easy-to-pull-out network cable storage device is as follows:

[0045] When it is necessary to extend the network cable 1, pulling on both ends of the network cable 1 will rotate the take-up ring 201, thereby releasing the network cable 1 wound on the take-up ring 201. The rotation of the take-up ring 201 causes the coil spring 202 to contract and store force through the turntable 20, which in turn drives the ratchet 30 to rotate. When the network cable 1 is extended to the appropriate length, the pulling force on the network cable 1 can be released. At this time, the pawl 301 and the ratchet 30 cooperate to restrict the reverse rotation of the ratchet 30, thereby restricting the reverse rotation of the take-up ring 201 through the turntable 20. When it is necessary to shrink the network cable 1, the first knob 303 is turned to drive the pawl 301 to rotate, so that the pawl 301 is separated from the ratchet 30. At this time, the pawl 301 no longer restricts the ratchet 30 from reversing. Then, the reaction force of the coil spring 202 can cause the turntable 20 to reverse. The reversal of the turntable 20 drives the winding ring 201 to reverse, which can wind up the network cable 1. The length of the network cable 1 can be adjusted by pulling the two ends of the network cable 1 or by removing the restriction on the reversal of the turntable 20. The operation is convenient and improves the efficiency of adjusting the length of the network cable 1.
