Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire and cable rack technology, specifically a rack for storing wires and cables. Background Technology
[0002] Electrical engineering refers to engineering related to the production, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy. In a broader sense, it also includes engineering projects that utilize electricity as a power source and energy source in various fields. With the construction of urban power grids and infrastructure, the use of cables is increasing, and due to the large-scale production of wires and cables in factories, maintaining adequate inventory of these products is particularly important.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN211733397U discloses a shelf for storing wires and cables, including a shelf panel, a motor, a gear shaft, a winding roller, a support bearing, a controller, an LCD touch screen, a battery, a support rod, a handle, and a limit metering module. The shelf panel is rectangular, the motor is located on the inner wall of the shelf panel, the gear shaft is located on the output shaft of the motor, the support bearing is sleeved on the outside of the gear shaft, the winding roller is located on the outside of the gear shaft, the limit metering module is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the shelf panel, the controller and the battery are located on the inner wall of the shelf panel, the support rod is located on the upper wall of the shelf panel, the handle is located at the upper end of the support rod, and the LCD touch screen is fixedly connected to the handle.
[0004] The aforementioned cable storage rack still has certain shortcomings. It uses a controller, motor, and gear shaft to electrically drive the winding roller to rotate, saving manpower. However, since the winding roller is sleeved on the outside of the gear shaft, it may sway vertically up and down during transportation, which may cause the cable to be pulled and damaged. Therefore, this application proposes a cable storage rack to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a storage rack for wires and cables, which has the advantages of preventing the winding roller from swaying vertically up and down. This solves the problem that the winding roller may sway vertically up and down during transportation, which could cause the cables to be pulled and damaged.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a shelf for storing wires and cables, comprising a base, two cross columns rotatably connected to the front side of the base, a winding roller sliding on the outer side of each of the two cross columns, six fixed seats evenly distributed around the center of each of the two winding rollers on the front side, a winding mechanism for rotating the winding rollers provided inside the base, and a limiting mechanism for limiting the two winding rollers on the front side of the cross columns.
[0007] Furthermore, multiple wheel sets are installed on the back side of the base, and a push rod is fixed on the front side of the base near its left end.
[0008] Furthermore, the winding mechanism includes a motor fixed to the right side of the base, a connecting column fixed to the outer side of the motor output shaft, a worm gear fixed to the left end of the connecting column, a worm wheel driven to the outer side of the worm gear, and two movable rods rotatably connected to the back wall of the inner cavity of the base, with meshing gears fixed to the outer sides of both movable rods.
[0009] Furthermore, the worm gear is fixed to the outside of the right movable rod, and the front ends of the two movable rods are respectively welded to two cross posts.
[0010] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes screws threaded to the front sides of two cross pins, with connecting blocks fixed to the front ends of the two screws, handles fixed to the front ends of the two connecting blocks, and pressure plates fixed to the left and right ends of the two connecting blocks.
[0011] Furthermore, rubber pads are fixed to the back sides of two adjacent pressure plates, and the rubber pads are in contact with the front end of the take-up roller.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The cable storage rack has two take-up rollers fitted onto the outside of two cross posts. Then, by rotating the two handles, the connecting block drives the two adjacent pressure plates to rotate, so that the two adjacent rubber pads are in contact with the front of the two take-up rollers, thus limiting the movement of the two take-up rollers and preventing the cables from being pulled by vibration when the take-up rollers move.

[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The cable storage rack in this embodiment includes a base 1. Two cross posts 3 are rotatably connected to the front side of the base 1. A winding roller 5 slides on the outer side of each of the two cross posts 3. Six fixed seats 7 are evenly distributed around the center of each of the two winding rollers 5. The base 1 is provided with a winding mechanism 4 for the winding rollers 5 to rotate. A limiting mechanism 2 is provided on the front side of the cross posts 3 to limit the two winding rollers 5.
[0022] Multiple wheel sets 6 are installed on the back side of the base 1, and a push rod 8 is fixed on the front side of the base 1 near its left end, so as to move the wire and cable storage shelf to the use area by means of the wheel sets 6.
[0023] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism 2 includes screws 201 threadedly connected to the front side of two cross pins 3. Each screw 201 has a connecting block 202 fixed at its front end. Each connecting block 202 has a handle 203 fixed at its front end. Each connecting block 202 has a pressure plate 204 fixed at its left and right ends.
[0024] Rubber pads are fixed to the back of each of the two adjacent pressure plates 204. The two take-up rollers 5 are respectively fitted onto the outside of the two cross posts 3. Then, the two handles 203 are rotated, causing the connecting block 202 to drive the two adjacent pressure plates 204 to rotate, so that the two adjacent rubber pads are respectively in contact with the front of the two take-up rollers 5, limiting the two take-up rollers 5 and preventing the take-up rollers 5 from vibrating and swaying up and down when moving. The rubber pads are in contact with the front end of the take-up rollers 5, and the rubber pads can protect the take-up rollers 5.
[0025] Understandably, the two take-up rollers 5 are respectively fitted onto the outside of the two cross posts 3, and then the two handles 203 are rotated to make the connecting block 202 drive the two adjacent pressure plates 204 to rotate, so that the two adjacent rubber pads are respectively in contact with the front side of the two take-up rollers 5, thereby limiting the two take-up rollers 5 and preventing the take-up rollers 5 from pulling the cable due to vibration when moving.
[0026] Please see Figures 4 to 5 In this embodiment, the winding mechanism 4 includes a motor 401 fixed to the right side of the base 1. A connecting column 402 is fixed to the outside of the output shaft of the motor 401. A worm gear 403 is fixed to the left end of the connecting column 402. A worm wheel 404 is driven to the outside of the worm gear 403. Two movable rods 405 are rotatably connected to the back wall of the inner cavity of the base 1. A gear 406 that meshes with each other is fixed to the outside of the two movable rods 405.
[0027] The worm gear 404 is fixed to the outside of the right movable rod 405. The front ends of the two movable rods 405 are welded to the two cross posts 3 respectively. After moving to the designated area, one end of the wire and cable is fixed to the outside of the two take-up rollers 5 respectively. At this time, the motor 401 can be started to make the worm gear 404 and worm 403 rotate, which will drive the right movable rod 405 to rotate, thereby making the two gears 406 mesh and drive, and then making the two take-up rollers 5 rotate to collect the wire and cable.
[0028] Understandably, once the cable is stored, the motor 401 is stopped, allowing the other end of the cable to be fixed to the mounting base 7. The mounting base 7 can secure the cable with bolts and clamps, preventing cable lengths from being inconvenient to store.
[0029] All electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply, and all electrical components mentioned are conventional and known devices. This application will not elaborate further. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer that performs control. The control circuit of the main controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so this utility model will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail. At the same time, any parts of this utility model that are not described in detail are all common technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0032] When the cable storage rack is needed, push the cable storage rack to move it to the usage area using the wheel set 6. Place the two take-up rollers 5 on the outside of the two cross posts 3 respectively. Then rotate the two handles 203 to make the connecting block 202 drive the two adjacent pressure plates 204 to rotate, so that the two adjacent rubber pads are respectively in contact with the front side of the two take-up rollers 5 to limit the two take-up rollers 5 and prevent them from vibrating and swaying up and down when moving. After moving to the designated area, fix one end of the cable to the outside of the two take-up rollers 5 respectively. At this time, the motor 401 can be started to make the worm gear 404 and worm 403 rotate, which will drive the right movable rod 405 to rotate, so that the two gears 406 mesh and drive, thereby making the two take-up rollers 5 rotate to collect the cable. After collection, stop the motor 401 and fix the other end of the cable to the fixed seat 7 to avoid the cable being inconvenient to collect due to different lengths.
