Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable management technology, specifically relating to a concealed cable management structure for power distribution equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In modern buildings, industrial facilities, and data centers, power distribution equipment, as a core component of power distribution and control, is increasingly valued for its ease of installation and maintenance, safety, and overall aesthetics. With the growth in electricity demand and the increasing complexity of equipment, the number of cables connected to power distribution equipment has also increased significantly. These cables, including power lines, signal lines, and control lines, are responsible for transmitting power and data to various terminal devices and are crucial for ensuring the normal operation of the system. However, traditional cable management methods often have many drawbacks. On the one hand, cables are usually directly exposed, affecting not only the overall aesthetics but also making them susceptible to damage from external impacts, dust accumulation, or animal chewing, thus creating safety hazards. On the other hand, when cables malfunction or require upgrades, the chaotic cable layout and lack of effective management often make it difficult for maintenance personnel to quickly locate the problem, increasing repair difficulty and time costs. Furthermore, traditional cable management methods are insufficient in terms of space utilization, making it difficult to adapt to the compact and efficient layout requirements of modern power distribution equipment.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model improves aesthetics by concealing cables:

[0015] The combination of U-shaped mounting brackets and baffles completely conceals cables within the structure, preventing cable exposure and clutter, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the power distribution area, and meeting the requirements of modern buildings and industrial facilities for a clean and orderly environment. The detachable design of the layered strips allows users to adjust the cable layering space according to actual needs, improving space utilization. Different types or specifications of cables can be categorized and placed, facilitating management and maintenance while reducing interference and wear between cables. The detachable design of the baffles makes cable inspection and maintenance simple and quick. When a cable malfunctions or requires upgrades, simply removing the baffle allows for quick location and handling of the problem, significantly reducing repair time and costs. The cooperation of limiting blocks and grooves, along with the reinforcing effect of the limiting strips, ensures a stable connection between the baffles and the mounting brackets, preventing accidental detachment or shaking of the baffles after installation, thus improving the safety and stability of the cable management structure.

[0022] 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.

[0023] This specific embodiment is a concealed cable management structure for power distribution equipment, and its structural diagram is shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a mounting frame 1, a baffle 2, and layered strips 3. The mounting frame 1 has a U-shaped structure. The baffle 2 can be detachably installed on the back of the mounting frame 1. Multiple sets of layered strips 3 are distributed at intervals on the inner side of the mounting frame 1.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 Mounting blocks 5 protrude from the upper surface of the layered strip 3 near both sides. Insertion holes are provided on the inner wall of the mounting bracket 1, and the mounting blocks 5 are adapted to be inserted into the insertion holes.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 The mounting bracket 1 has a viewing slot 13 on the surface facing the baffle 2, and slots 11 are provided on both sides of the viewing slot 13. A plug plate 4 protrudes from the surface of the baffle 2 facing the slot 11 and is adapted to be plugged into the slot 11.

[0026] A horizontally opening movable groove 9 is provided on the side wall of the mounting bracket 1, and a movable block 7 is slidably installed inside the movable groove 9. A limiting block 10 is fixedly fixed on the surface of the movable block 7 facing the inside of the mounting bracket 1. A limiting groove 12 is provided on the side wall of the insert plate 4, and the limiting block 10 is adapted to the limiting groove 12. A limiting strip 14 is horizontally fixedly installed inside the limiting groove 12, and the limiting block 10 slides and fits against the limiting strip 14 after entering the limiting groove 12. A horizontally opening inner sliding groove 8 is provided on the bottom inner wall of the movable groove 9, and the bottom of the movable block 7 slides into the inner sliding groove 8. A spring 6 is horizontally embedded in the inner sliding groove 8, one end of the spring 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner sliding groove 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to the part of the movable block 7 that extends into the inner sliding groove 8.

[0027] Working principle: Combination of mounting bracket and layering strips:

[0028] The mounting bracket 1 has a U-shaped structure with multiple layers 3 spaced apart on its inner side. The layers 3 are connected to the mounting blocks 5 on their upper surfaces and the insertion holes on the inner wall of the mounting bracket 1 to form an adjustable cable layering space. Users can freely adjust the spacing of the layers 3 according to the number and size of the cables to classify and place different types or specifications of cables, avoiding cable tangling and mess.

[0029] Detachable design of baffle 2:

[0030] The baffle 2 is detachable via the adapter plate 4 and the slot 11 on the back of the mounting bracket 1. During installation, the adapter plate 4 is inserted into the slot 11 and secured by the engagement of the limiting block 10 and the limiting groove 12. The limiting block 10 slides within the moving groove 9 and is held in place by the force of the spring 6, ensuring that the baffle 2 will not accidentally fall off. When cable maintenance is required, simply push the moving block 7 to disengage the limiting block 10 from the limiting groove 12 to easily remove the baffle 2 and expose the internal cables. A limiting strip 14 is horizontally fixed inside the limiting groove 12. After the limiting block 10 enters the limiting groove 12, it slides to engage with the limiting strip 14, further enhancing the connection stability between the baffle 2 and the mounting bracket 1 and preventing the baffle 2 from shaking or shifting after installation.

[0031] The mounting bracket 1 has a viewing slot 13 on the side facing the baffle 2, allowing the user to observe the cable status and make a preliminary judgment on the location of the fault. When further operation is required, the baffle 2 can be removed to directly access the cable for maintenance work such as flushing, rewiring, or replacement.

[0032] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
