Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable installation technology, and in particular to a modular cable management device for server racks. Background Technology

[0002] Server racks typically contain a large number of complex cables. To ensure a neat and clear cable layout and facilitate smooth maintenance, specialized cable management devices are usually used to organize the cables. The modular design gives the cable management device flexibility and operability. When faced with cable maintenance needs, maintenance personnel do not need to disassemble and reorganize the entire cable system on a large scale, but can operate on the specific cables that need maintenance individually.

[0003] In existing technologies, common cable positioning devices are typically designed as long plate structures. These devices have one or more through holes inside, whose main function is to allow cables to pass through, thereby achieving initial positioning and constraint of the cables. However, when dealing with long cables and passing them through the through holes of the positioning device, due to the length of the cable, one end of the cable must be located first. This is because long cables may have become tangled during storage or transportation, with both ends of the cable possibly obstructed by other objects or the cable itself tangled, making it difficult to quickly locate the required end. Once the attempt to pass the cable through the through hole begins, the tediousness of organizing the cable becomes even more apparent. Due to the length of the cable, the position and direction of the cable need to be constantly adjusted during the threading process to ensure that it can smoothly enter the through hole. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid the cable from getting tangled or knotted with other objects. This requires the operator to maintain a high degree of concentration at all times and spend a lot of time and energy on meticulous operation. Therefore, there is a need to improve the modular cable management device for server racks to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problem that finding one end of a long cable and passing it through a positioning device is a cumbersome process that affects work efficiency when organizing long cables.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a modular cable management device for server racks, including a limiting shell, a sliding block slidably connected to the limiting shell, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the sliding block, a positioning plate fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, a reset torsion spring fixedly connected between the sliding block and the positioning plate, a limiting claw fixedly connected to the positioning plate, a cable body disposed on the limiting claw, an adjustment component disposed between the limiting shell and the sliding block, and a positioning component disposed on the limiting claw. The gap between the limiting claw and the limiting shell can be adjusted according to the size of the cable body by means of the adjustment component.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting shell has a matching groove at the corresponding position of the sliding block, and the sliding block slides inside the groove.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning disk has a flat surface, and when the two limiting claws rotate to the contact position, the flat surface of the positioning disk contacts the sliding block.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning component includes a limiting shaft fixedly connected to the sliding block, a first threaded rod rotatably connected to the limiting claw, and a nut threadedly connected to the first threaded rod, wherein the first threaded rod and the nut cooperate to lock the limiting claw.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting claw has an opening at the corresponding position of the first threaded rod, and the first threaded rod passes through the opening.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting shell has a limiting groove at the corresponding position of the limiting shaft, and the limiting shaft slides inside the limiting groove.

[0011] Preferably, the adjusting assembly includes a threaded cylinder rotatably connected to the limiting shell, an external hexagonal block fixedly connected to the threaded cylinder, and a second threaded rod threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder. The second threaded rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block, and the threaded cylinder is driven to rotate by the external hexagonal block, while the second threaded rod moves linearly by the threaded connection.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When installing the cable body, the openable limiting claw does not require finding one end of the cable body. The cable body can be directly squeezed by the limiting claw and then enter between the two limiting claws to position the cable body. Furthermore, the distance between the limiting claw and the limiting shell can be controlled by the adjusting component to position cable bodies of different sizes. This makes it more widely applicable and quick and convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a modular cable management device for server racks, including a limiting shell 1, a sliding block 21 slidably connected to the limiting shell 1, a rotating shaft 22 rotatably connected to the sliding block 21, a positioning disk 23 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 22, a reset torsion spring 24 fixedly connected between the sliding block 21 and the positioning disk 23, a limiting claw 25 fixedly connected to the positioning disk 23, a cable body 5 disposed on the limiting claw 25, an adjustment component disposed between the limiting shell 1 and the sliding block 21, and a positioning component disposed on the limiting claw 25. The adjustment component can adjust the gap between the limiting claw 25 and the limiting shell 1 according to the size of the cable body 5. The end of the limiting claw 25 away from the sliding block 21 is provided with an arc-shaped opening. When installing the cable body 5, the cable body 5 directly squeezes the arc-shaped opening, thereby causing the limiting claw 25 to rotate around the rotating shaft 22 as the center. At the same time, the rotation drives the reset torsion spring 24 through the positioning disk 23. The deformation of the reset torsion spring 24 causes the cable body 5 to enter between the two limiting claws 25. The deformed reset torsion spring 24 can reset the limiting claws 25, thus re-engaging the two limiting claws 25. The fixed positioning component fixes the two limiting claws 25 together. The position of the limiting claws 25 can be raised or lowered by adjusting the component, thereby adjusting the gap between the two limiting claws 25 and the limiting shell 1, thereby positioning the cable body 5 of different sizes. The limiting shell 1 has a matching groove at the corresponding position of the sliding block 21, and the sliding block 21 slides inside the groove. The groove limits the sliding block 21, so that the sliding block 21 slides linearly without rotating, thus enabling precise adjustment. The positioning disk 23 has a plane. When the two limiting claws 25 rotate to the contact position, the plane of the positioning disk 23 contacts the sliding block 21. By the plane of the positioning disk 23 pressing against the sliding block 21, the rotation angle of the limiting claws 25 can be positioned, limiting the rotation angle within a certain range.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5In this embodiment, the positioning component includes a limiting shaft 31 fixedly connected to the sliding block 21, a first threaded rod 32 rotatably connected to the limiting claw 25, and a nut 33 threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 32. The first threaded rod 32 and the nut 33 cooperate to lock the limiting claw 25. By fixing the two limiting claws 25 through the positioning component, the limiting claws 25 can be prevented from opening on their own due to external force, ensuring stable positioning of the cable body 5. The limiting claw 25 has an opening at the corresponding position of the first threaded rod 32, and the first threaded rod 32 passes through the opening. The opening allows the first threaded rod 32 to rotate, thereby contacting the positioning of the two limiting claws 25, making fixing more convenient. The limiting shell 1 has a limiting groove at the corresponding position of the limiting shaft 31, and the limiting shaft 31 slides inside the limiting groove. By the limiting shaft 31 cooperating with the limiting groove, the position of the sliding block 21 is positioned, preventing the sliding block 21 from sliding too much and detaching from the limiting shell 1, and also preventing the second threaded rod 43 from detaching from the threaded cylinder 41.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-2 In this embodiment, the adjustment component includes a threaded cylinder 41 rotatably connected to the limiting shell 1, an external hexagonal block 42 fixedly connected to the threaded cylinder 41, and a second threaded rod 43 threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder 41. The second threaded rod 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 21. The threaded cylinder 41 is driven to rotate by the external hexagonal block 42, and the second threaded rod 43 moves linearly by the threaded connection. Rotating the external hexagonal block 42 can adjust the size of the cable body 5, making it more widely applicable and suitable for cable bodies 5 of different sizes.

[0023] During operation, first release the positioning of the first threaded rod 32 on the two limiting claws 25, and flip the first threaded rod 32 to avoid affecting the cable body 5. Then, make the cable body 5 press against the arc-shaped opening of the limiting claw 25. The limiting claw 25 will rotate around the rotating shaft 22 when pressed. At the same time, the rotation will drive the reset torsion spring 24 through the positioning plate 23, causing the reset torsion spring 24 to deform. After the cable body 5 enters the inside of the limiting claw 25, the deformed reset torsion spring 24 will reset the positioning plate 23, thereby resetting the limiting claw 25, thus enclosing the cable body 5 in the two limiting claws. Between the two limiting claws 25, the first threaded rod 32 is inserted into the opening of the limiting claw 25, and then the nut 33 is screwed on to position the two limiting claws 25. When the cable body 5 is punctured less, the outer hexagon block 42 is rotated to drive the threaded cylinder 41, and the threaded cylinder 41 drives the sliding block 21 to descend. The sliding block 21 drives the limiting claws 25 to descend, so that the limiting claws 25 and the limiting shell 1 are interlocked, thereby clamping the cable body 5. The position of the limiting shell 1 can be fixed by bolts, and multiple limiting shells 1 can be connected in series by bolts, depending on the actual use needs.

[0024] Through the above steps, when installing the cable body 5, the openable limiting claw 25 does not require finding one end of the cable body 5. The cable body 5 can directly squeeze the limiting claw 25 and then enter between the two limiting claws 25, thereby positioning the cable body 5. This solves the problem that when sorting long cables, the process of first finding one end of the cable and passing it through the positioning device is cumbersome and affects work efficiency.
