Technical Field
[0001] This utility model provides a concealed cable management channel, and particularly relates to a smart classroom podium with a concealed cable management channel. Background Technology
[0002] As the core carrier for integrating teaching equipment wiring connections and equipment placement, the smart classroom podium has an internal cable management device that is a key structure for ensuring the orderly arrangement of multimedia equipment, power lines, etc. Its main function is to collect and guide various circuit wires inside the podium, avoid exposed or messy wiring, ensure normal power supply and signal transmission for teaching equipment, and facilitate subsequent wiring maintenance and management.
[0003] Existing cable management devices for smart classroom podiums mostly adopt open cable trays or simple closed shell structures, basically consisting of a flat base plate fixed inside the podium and side guards, with some having simple partitions. While these structures can achieve basic cable storage, they have significant shortcomings: First, they lack targeted cable management mechanisms, allowing cables to easily stack and tangle inside the shell, especially when multiple cables run in parallel, leading to twisting and crossing. Second, the shells are mostly fixed designs, requiring complete disassembly or significant handling to insert or remove cables, making the process cumbersome. Third, the shell openings lack effective sealing or guiding structures, easily accumulating dust and allowing cables to slip out, failing to achieve orderly constraint and concealed management of cables, and thus failing to meet the needs of smart classrooms for refined and convenient cable management.

[0016] It should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "up," "down," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used herein in the description of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention; the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the smart classroom podium with a hidden cable management channel includes an inner podium panel 1. The upper part of the inner podium panel 1 is fixedly connected to the cable management channel assembly 2 by bolts passing through the fixing holes of the ear plate 10. In the protective shell 3 of the cable management channel assembly 2, the limiting plate 5 abuts against the inner podium panel 1. The symmetrical arc-shaped shell 6 integrated with it forms a cavity for accommodating the cables. The outwardly protruding arc plate 11 at the end of the arc-shaped shell 6 is fixed to the rubber strip 7. The protrusions 13 of the rubber strip 7 abut against each other to form an entrance and exit that can be elastically opened and closed. The dust collection tank 12 is used to collect dust falling in from the opening.
[0019] The adjusting rod 8 of the combing assembly 4 is placed between the arc-shaped outer shells 6. The sliding plate at the top of the combing assembly abuts against the middle baffle plate 15. The connecting frame at the bottom is fixed to the combing plate 9 and abuts against the middle baffle plate 15. When the adjusting rod 8 is pushed, the sliding plate and the connecting frame slide along the middle baffle plate 15, causing the combing plate 9 to move closer to or away from the limiting plate 5. After the wires are inserted from the inlet and outlet of the rubber strip 7, the slots of the combing plate 9 correspond to the limiting slots of the limiting plate 14, which classifies and inserts different wires to achieve orderly combing and avoid tangling and twisting.
[0020] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped outer shell 6 is integrally molded from ABS plastic, the rubber strip 7 is made of silicone rubber, which has good elasticity and wear resistance, and the adjusting rod 8 and the combing plate 9 are made of PVC. The overall structure is lightweight and the strength meets the usage requirements.
[0021] Based on the above, the smart classroom podium with concealed cable management channels includes an inner podium panel 1. Several cable management channel components 2 are fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner podium panel 1 by bolts. The cable management channel components 2 include a protective shell 3 and a cable management component 4. The protective shell 3 includes a limiting plate 5 that abuts against the upper part of the inner podium panel 1. Ear plates 10 are integrally connected to both sides of the limiting plate 5. The ear plates 10 are provided with fixing holes corresponding to the bolt structure. Symmetrically distributed arc-shaped shells 6 are integrally connected to the limiting plate 5. The larger end of a pair of arc-shaped shells 6 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 5, and the other end is a convex arc-shaped plate 11. The arc-shaped protrusion direction of the convex arc plate 11 is opposite to the arc-shaped concave direction of the arc-shaped shell 6. A rubber strip 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped shell 6 away from the limiting plate 5. A pair of rubber strips 7 abut against each other. A dust collection groove 12 is provided on the side away from the interior of the cable management channel components 2. The ends of the rubber strips 7 that are close to each other are bent upward to form a protrusion 13 that abuts against the adjusting rod 8.
[0022] In this implementation plan, from the perspective of key implementation points and innovation, the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned component combination are significant: First, the cooperation between the ear plate 10 and the bolt structure enables the stable installation of the cable tray assembly 2 on the inner plate 1 of the podium, and facilitates flexible adjustment of the installation position according to the cable layout, solving the problem of rigid fixation in traditional cable management devices; Second, the concave-convex design of the arc-shaped outer shell 6 and the convex arc-shaped plate 11 not only expands the internal cable management space but also enhances the structural strength of the outer shell, while the convex arc-shaped plate 11 provides stable support for the rubber strip 7; Third, the protruding tips 13 of the rubber strip 7 abut against each other to form an elastically openable and closeable inlet / outlet. It achieves both dustproof sealing when no wires are inserted and adaptability to the opening of the adjusting rod or the installation of new wires during the combing process, preventing wires from slipping. The dust collection tank 12 collects dust that seeps in from the opening, reducing dust corrosion to the wires. Fourth, the combing component 4 drives the combing plate 9 to slide via the adjusting rod 8, ensuring precise alignment between the slot and the limiting slot 14, achieving classified combing and positioning of multiple wires, effectively solving the problems of wire entanglement and twisting. Fifth, the cooperation between the central baffle 15, the sliding plate, and the connecting frame ensures smooth sliding of the adjusting rod 8, preventing deviation during combing and improving ease of operation. Overall, the synergistic effect of each structure achieves concealed storage, orderly combing, dustproof protection, and convenient maintenance of wires, comprehensively optimizing the cable management function of the smart classroom podium.
[0023] When using the smart classroom lectern, first use the pre-installed metal mounting brackets and expansion screws inside to fix the inner panel of the lectern to the side wall or bottom of the lectern cavity, ensuring that it maintains a suitable distance from the installation positions of existing equipment such as the multimedia host and projector power box inside the lectern. Then, use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the bolts through the fixing holes of the ear plate and the pre-installed screw holes inside the lectern, completing the fixing of the cable tray assembly. If the cable management position needs to be adjusted, the bolts can be loosened, the cable tray assembly can be moved to a suitable position, and then it can be re-fixed. When using the lectern, first straighten the existing cables such as the power cord of the multimedia host, the signal cable of the projector, and the transmission cable of the microphone. Use a conventional cable puller to gently push one end of the cable into the protrusion of the rubber strip. The elastic deformation of the rubber strip will allow the cable to enter the cavity formed by the arc-shaped shell and the limiting plate. Then, push the adjusting rod to move the combing plate towards the limiting plate, and insert different types of cables into the slots of the combing plate and the limiting slots of the limiting plate for classified fixing. The ends of the cables can be tied to the plastic cable clips pre-installed inside the lectern using existing nylon cable ties. During routine maintenance, if dust accumulates in the dust collection trough, a regular brush can be used to clean it. When it is necessary to replace the wiring, pull the adjusting rod to disengage the combing plate from the wiring, and then use regular wire strippers to process the wiring connectors. After replacing the new wiring, repeat the combing and fixing steps. The entire process does not require disassembling the main structure of the podium and can be completed using only existing common tools.
[0024] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the claims.
