Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a wire sleeve, and more particularly to an easy-to-install wire sleeve and an electronic device equipped with the wire sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] In electronic devices with cables that require waterproofing and dustproofing, cable sleeves are typically used at the cable exit points to ensure a perfect fit between the cable and the device's casing, eliminating gaps that could allow foreign objects to intrude. However, existing cable sleeves are time-consuming to install and require significant force or installation fixtures. Furthermore, some cable sleeves require screws or additional securing mechanisms, increasing costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides an easy-to-install cable sleeve and an electronic device equipped with the cable sleeve to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] According to one embodiment, the electronic device of this utility model includes a housing, a wire sleeve, and a wire. The housing includes a mounting hole. The wire sleeve includes a sleeve portion and a plurality of deformable portions. The plurality of deformable portions extend from one end of the sleeve portion and are arranged at intervals. The sleeve portion is mounted in the mounting hole. The plurality of deformable portions are located in the housing. The sleeve portion has a first through hole. A second through hole is formed between the plurality of deformable portions. The diameter of the first through hole is larger than the diameter of the second through hole. The diameter of the wire is larger than the diameter of the second through hole. When the wire passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence, the wire forces the plurality of deformable portions to deform and unfold outward, thereby locking the housing.

[0005] In one embodiment, the length of each deformable portion is greater than or equal to twice the wall thickness of the sleeve portion.

[0006] In one embodiment, the wall thickness of each deformable part is greater than or equal to 1.5 times the wall thickness of the sleeve part.

[0007] In one embodiment, a plurality of deformable portions are radially recessed relative to the sleeve portion along the sleeve.

[0008] In one embodiment, the housing includes a locking portion surrounding a mounting hole, and the sleeve further includes a slot surrounding a first through hole. When the sleeve is installed in the mounting hole, the locking portion engages with the slot.

[0009] In one embodiment, the sleeve portion includes at least one outer annular rib. When the sleeve portion is installed in the mounting hole, the at least one outer annular rib tightly abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0010] In one embodiment, the sleeve portion includes at least one inner annular rib. When the wire passes through the first through hole, the at least one inner annular rib abuts tightly against the wire.

[0011] According to one embodiment, the sleeve of this utility model includes a sleeve portion and a plurality of deformable portions. The sleeve portion has a first through hole. The plurality of deformable portions extend from one end of the sleeve portion and are arranged at intervals. A second through hole is formed between the plurality of deformable portions. The diameter of the first through hole is larger than the diameter of the second through hole.

[0012] In one embodiment, the length of each deformable portion is greater than or equal to twice the wall thickness of the sleeve portion.

[0013] In one embodiment, the wall thickness of each deformable part is greater than or equal to 1.5 times the wall thickness of the sleeve part.

[0014] In one embodiment, a plurality of deformable portions are radially recessed relative to the sleeve portion along the sleeve.

[0015] In one embodiment, the sleeve further includes a slot surrounding the first through hole.

[0016] In one embodiment, the sleeve portion includes at least one outer annular rib and at least one inner annular rib.

[0017] In summary, this utility model features a plurality of deformable portions arranged at intervals at one end of the sleeve portion of the wire sleeve. During assembly, the sleeve portion of the wire sleeve is first installed into the mounting hole of the housing, and then the wire is sequentially passed through the first and second through holes of the wire sleeve. Since the wire diameter is larger than the diameter of the second through hole, when the wire passes through the second through hole, it forces the plurality of deformable portions to deform outwards and unfold, thus securing them to the housing. In this way, the wire sleeve is securely fixed to the housing and will not fall off. Furthermore, this utility model utilizes the force and interference of the wire passing through the wire sleeve to cause the deformable portions to deform outwards and unfold, achieving a fixing effect. This not only makes installation easy but also makes it difficult to detect or imitate from the appearance of the electronic device. During disassembly, the wire can be removed first, causing the plurality of deformable portions to deform inwards and return to their original position. At this point, the wire sleeve can be directly pulled out of the mounting hole of the housing. Therefore, the wire sleeve can be easily disassembled and reused.

[0018] The advantages and spirit of this utility model can be further understood through the following detailed description of the utility model and the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an electronic device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Exploded view of electronic device 1 in the diagram. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The line loop 12 is shown in a three-dimensional image from another perspective. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the sleeve portion 120 of the wire sleeve 12 being installed in the mounting hole 100 of the housing 10. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the wire 14 passing through the first through hole 126 of the wire sleeve 12. Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view of the second through hole 128 through which the wire 14 passes through the wire sleeve 12.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 1 includes a housing 10, a wire sleeve 12, and a wire 14. The electronic device 1 can be any device equipped with the wire sleeve 12 and the wire 14, depending on the application. Generally, the electronic device 1 will also include necessary hardware and software components for operation, such as circuit boards, controllers, power supplies, and application programs, depending on the application.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 may include a mounting hole 100 and a engaging portion 102, wherein the engaging portion 102 surrounds the mounting hole 100. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sleeve 12 may include a sleeve portion 120, a plurality of deformable portions 122, and a slot 124. The sleeve portion 120 has a first through hole 126. The plurality of deformable portions 122 extend from one end of the sleeve portion 120 and are arranged at intervals. A second through hole 128 is formed between the plurality of deformable portions 122. The slot 124 is located at the other end of the sleeve portion 120 and surrounds the first through hole 126.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sleeve 12 may include three deformable portions 122, and there are partial grooves between the three deformable portions 122, so that the three deformable portions 122 are arranged in a ring at intervals. It should be noted that the number of deformable portions 122 can be determined according to the actual application and is not limited to three.

[0045] During assembly, first install the sleeve portion 120 of the wire sleeve 12 into the mounting hole 100 of the housing 10, so that the plurality of deformable portions 122 are located in the housing 10, such as... Figure 4 As shown. When the sleeve portion 120 of the cable sleeve 12 is installed in the mounting hole 100 of the housing 10, the engaging portion 102 of the housing 10 will engage with the slot 124 of the cable sleeve 12. Next, the wire 14 is sequentially passed through the first through hole 126 and the second through hole 128 of the cable sleeve 12, as shown. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown.

[0046] In this embodiment, the diameter of the first through hole 126 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 128, and the diameter of the wire 14 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 128. Therefore, when the wire 14 passes through the first through hole 126 and the second through hole 128 in sequence, the wire 14 will force the deformable portions 122 of the plurality of wire sleeves 12 to deform and unfold outward, thus locking the housing 10. Figure 6 As shown. This securely fixes the sleeve 12 to the housing 10 and prevents it from falling off. For disassembly, the wire 14 can be removed first, causing the plurality of deformable parts 122 to deform inward and return to their original position. At this point, the sleeve 12 can be directly pulled out of the mounting hole 100 of the housing 10.

[0047] In this embodiment, the sleeve 12 may be made of rubber, but is not limited thereto. Taking a material with a Shore A hardness of 70 degrees as an example, the length L of each deformable part 122 may be greater than or equal to twice the wall thickness T1 of the sleeve part 120, and the wall thickness T2 of each deformable part 122 may be greater than or equal to 1.5 times the wall thickness T1 of the sleeve part 120. Together, these properties enable the deformable part 122 to effectively lock the housing 10 after deformation, thereby achieving a better anti-detachment effect.

[0048] In this embodiment, a plurality of deformable portions 122 can be radially retracted relative to the sleeve portion 120 along the wire sleeve 12 to form a deformation space S at the connection between the deformable portion 122 and the sleeve portion 120. When the wire 14 passes through the second through hole 128, the deformable portion 122 can be more easily deformed and unfolded outward through this deformation space S.

[0049] In this embodiment, the sleeve portion 120 of the sleeve 12 may include at least one outer annular rib 1200 and at least one inner annular rib 1202, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown in the figure, when the sleeve portion 120 of the sleeve 12 is installed in the mounting hole 100 of the housing 10, at least one outer annular rib 1200 can tightly abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole 100 to enhance the fixing effect between the sleeve 12 and the housing 10. Furthermore, when the wire 14 passes through the first through hole 126 of the sleeve 12, at least one inner annular rib 1202 can tightly abut against the wire 14 to enhance the fixing effect between the sleeve 12 and the wire 14. It should be noted that the number of outer annular ribs 1200 and inner annular ribs 1202 can be determined according to the actual application and is not limited to the embodiment shown in the figure.

[0050] In summary, this utility model features a plurality of deformable portions arranged at intervals at one end of the sleeve portion of the wire sleeve. During assembly, the sleeve portion of the wire sleeve is first installed into the mounting hole of the housing, and then the wire is sequentially passed through the first and second through holes of the wire sleeve. Since the wire diameter is larger than the diameter of the second through hole, when the wire passes through the second through hole, it forces the plurality of deformable portions to deform outwards and unfold, thus securing them to the housing. In this way, the wire sleeve is securely fixed to the housing and will not fall off. Furthermore, this utility model utilizes the force and interference of the wire passing through the wire sleeve to cause the deformable portions to deform outwards and unfold, achieving a fixing effect. This not only makes installation easy but also makes it difficult to detect or imitate from the appearance of the electronic device. During disassembly, the wire can be removed first, causing the plurality of deformable portions to deform inwards and return to their original position. At this point, the wire sleeve can be directly pulled out of the mounting hole of the housing. Therefore, the wire sleeve can be easily disassembled and reused.
