Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer wiring harness technology, specifically a printer wiring harness fixator. Background Technology

[0002] A printer cable harness holder is a device used to secure and manage internal or external cables of a printer, ensuring that the cables remain stable during equipment operation and preventing connection problems or equipment malfunctions caused by loosening or vibration. Its design typically includes a mounting base, clamping elements, and a locking mechanism to achieve reliable securing of the cable harness.

[0003] Currently, printers often use longer cable harnesses to accommodate more installation locations. However, current cable holders only have fixing, clipping, and locking mechanisms. When the installation location is too close, the cable holder cannot rewind the cable harness. As a result, most people do not choose to use the cable holder, but instead coil the cable harness and place it on the table. This method not only takes up desktop space and is not aesthetically pleasing, but it is also easy for the cable harness to come loose and hang on the ground, where it may be stepped on, pulled, or even cause the printer to fall, which is unsafe. Therefore, in order to address the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a printer wire harness retainer.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a printer wiring harness fixing device in one embodiment of this utility model includes: a fixing base 1, a winding mechanism 2, a positioning mechanism 3, and a guiding mechanism 4. The fixing base 1 is used for fixing. The winding mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on the fixing base 1, including a pair of winding bases 21 fixedly installed on the fixing base 1 and a winding positioning shaft 22 installed between the pair of winding bases 21. The positioning mechanism 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the winding positioning shaft 22. The positioning mechanism 3 includes a positioning ratchet 31 and a locking assembly 32. The positioning ratchet 31 is fixedly installed at one end of the winding positioning shaft 22, and the locking assembly 32 is disposed below the positioning ratchet 31. The positioning ratchet 31 cooperates with the locking assembly 32 to stop the rotation of the winding positioning shaft 22. The guiding mechanism 4 is fixedly installed between the pair of winding bases 21.

[0022] The printer wire harness holder is used as follows: Install the fixing base 1 on the desktop or directly on the printer, pass the wire harness through the guide mechanism 4, rotate the winding positioning shaft 22, and the wire harness is wound up by the rotation of the winding positioning shaft 22. Slide the guide mechanism 4 so that the wire harness can be wound up evenly. At the same time, the positioning ratchet 31 and the locking assembly 32 cooperate with each other to reduce the chance of the winding positioning shaft 22 turning back, so that the wire harness can be wound up better on the winding positioning shaft 22.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the winding positioning shaft 22 is installed through the winding base 21, which improves the stability of the winding positioning shaft 22, reduces the probability of the winding positioning shaft 22 detaching from the winding base 21, improves the balance of the winding positioning shaft 22, and reduces the probability of the winding positioning shaft 22 shaking when rotating.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a winding bearing 23 is installed between each of the two winding bases 21 and the winding positioning shaft 22, which improves the smoothness of the rotation of the winding positioning shaft 22, reduces the friction between the winding base 21 and the winding positioning shaft 22, and improves the service life of the winding base 21 and the winding positioning shaft 22.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a winding turntable 24 is fixedly installed at the end of the winding positioning shaft 22 away from the positioning ratchet 31. It can cooperate with the positioning ratchet 31 to limit the winding positioning shaft 22, and at the same time, it can facilitate the user to control the winding positioning shaft 22.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the engaging assembly 32 includes an engaging positioning post 321 and an engaging latch 322. The engaging positioning post 321 is fixedly installed on one side of the winding base 21. The engaging positioning post 321 can position the engaging latch 322, so that the rotation of the engaging latch 322 can be aligned with the corresponding axis. The engaging latch 322 is sleeved on the engaging positioning post 321, and the engaging latch 322 can engage the positioning ratchet 31, reducing the probability of the positioning ratchet 31 rotating backward.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the engaging latch 322 is matched with the positioning ratchet 31. The engaging latch 322 can engage the positioning ratchet 31. A rotary spring 323 is installed between the engaging positioning post 321 and the engaging latch 322. The rotary spring 323 can make the engaging latch 322 better engage the positioning ratchet 31.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the guiding mechanism 4 includes: a guide slide rod 41, a guide slider 42, and a guide limiting ring 43. The guide slide rod 41 is fixedly mounted on a pair of take-up bases 21, and guides the guide slider 42, providing a corresponding track for its sliding. The guide slider 42 is slidably mounted on the guide slide rod 41, and its sliding motion controls the position of the guide limiting ring 43. The guide limiting ring 43 is rotatably mounted on the lower side of the guide slider 42, and its position allows for more uniform winding of the wire harness.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the guide slide rod 41 is set through the guide slider 42. The guide slide rod 41 matches the guide slider 42, which facilitates the sliding of the guide slider 42 and provides corresponding guidance for the sliding of the guide slider 42.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the guide limit ring 43 is set through the guide slider 42, which facilitates the rotation of the guide limit ring 43 and provides assistance for the positioning of the wire harness. By rotating, the probability of the wire harness coming off can be reduced.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a guide bearing 44 is installed between the guide limiting ring 43 and the guide slider 42, which reduces the friction between the guide slider 42 and the guide limiting ring 43 and improves the smoothness of the rotation of the guide limiting ring 43.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, material, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, material, or apparatus.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
