[0002] Cables are a combination of one or more insulated conductors and their protective layers, shielding layers, fillers, sheaths, etc., used to transmit electrical energy, electrical signals or optical signals. Their core feature is the integrated design of multiple structures, which combines conductivity, insulation and protection functions, and is different from a single conductor or bare wire.

[0003] When laying cables in a computer room, in order to maintain clear lines, smooth heat dissipation, convenient maintenance, and future expansion flexibility under the dual pressure of increasing bandwidth and equipment density, cable management racks, coils, and cable tray supports are used to bind and organize the cables during the laying process. The cables are then fixed to the layout created by these cable management racks, coils, and cable tray supports to avoid a messy cable situation in the computer room. These cable management racks, coils, and cable tray supports used to organize and plan the routing of cables can be called auxiliary devices for computer room cable management and routing planning.

[0004] However, existing cable management racks for computer rooms involve securing cables from top to bottom within oval-shaped cable trays on their outer surface. When a cable on the outer surface is damaged and needs replacement, it can only be removed from the rack by completely pulling one end of the cable out of the oval cable tray. If the cable is long, the entire disassembly process is quite cumbersome. Therefore, this does not meet the current requirements. To address this, we propose a new cable management rack for computer rooms. Utility Model Content

Existing cable management rack-type auxiliary devices for cable management and routing planning in computer rooms clamp the cables from top to bottom inside the elliptical cable clamping grooves on their outer surface. When a cable on its outer surface is damaged and needs to be replaced, it can only be removed from the cable rack by completely pulling one end of the cable out of the elliptical cable clamping groove. If the cable is long, the overall disassembly process is cumbersome.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a data center cable management and routing planning auxiliary device, comprising a cable management rack body, wherein multiple cable hanging slots are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the cable management rack body, a connecting rod is provided above the cable hanging slots, and a push rod that is movably inserted into the outer shell of the cable management rack body is fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end face of the connecting rod, and a rectangular push block is provided below the push rod, wherein the surface of the rectangular push block facing the push rod is an inclined surface;

[0007] One side of the rectangular push block is provided with a first spring located inside the main shell of the cable management rack. The surface of the first spring facing the nearest cable hanging slot is connected to a cable support plate. The top end of the cable support plate is located on the lower side inside the cable hanging slot, and the upper surface of the cable support plate located on the lower side inside the cable hanging slot is provided with an arc-shaped groove.

[0008] Preferably, the outer side of the push rod is provided with a cylindrical groove located inside the outer shell of the cable management frame, and the upper side inside the cylindrical groove is provided with a limiting sleeve fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the push rod, and the lower end face of the limiting sleeve is connected to a second spring sleeved on the outer surface of the push rod.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting sleeve has a circular through hole located on the upper end face of the cable management frame body, and the inner wall diameter of the circular through hole is smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the limiting sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, the cable support plate is provided with an anti-detachment groove below, an anti-detachment rod is fixed inside the anti-detachment groove, an anti-detachment sleeve is movably fitted on the outer surface of the anti-detachment rod, and the upper end face of the anti-detachment sleeve is fixed to the cable support plate located above it.

[0011] Preferably, both the push rod and the rectangular push block are made of aluminum alloy in one piece, and the push rod is in contact with the inclined surface located on the outer surface of the rectangular push block.

[0012] Preferably, the front and rear end faces of the cable support plate and the inner wall of the arc groove are covered with rubber protective sleeves, and the opposing faces of the two cable support plates located inside the same hanging groove are in contact with each other.

[0013] Preferably, a square protective cover is provided on one side of the second spring, located on the outer surface of the cable management frame body, and the cable management frame body and the square protective cover are fixed together by screws.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model features a cable support plate that can move left and right at both ends of the lower side of the cable tray inside the main body of the cable management rack. When a cable inside the cable tray malfunctions and needs to be replaced, simply grab both ends of the cable and pull it downwards. As the cable descends, it will contact the arc-shaped groove on the upper surface of the cable support plate. When the two contact each other, but the downward pulling force on the cable continues, the two cable support plates will be pushed outwards simultaneously. When the distance between the two cable support plates is longer than the cross-sectional diameter of the cable, the cable will be directly pulled out from inside the cable tray. This technical solution makes it easier and faster to remove faulty cables, thus making the main body of the cable management rack more convenient to use.

[0016] 2. This utility model allows for the quick installation of cables by pressing down on the connecting rod located above the cable tray when a cable needs to be secured inside. As the connecting rod descends, two cable support plates inside the cable tray are pushed outwards simultaneously. Once the distance between the two cable support plates exceeds the cross-sectional diameter of the cable, the cable is inserted directly into the cable tray between the two cable support plates. Then, the connecting rod is released, allowing the two cable support plates to close together and secure the cable. This technical solution enables rapid cable installation, further improving the convenience of the cable management rack. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] The cable management frame body 1 (model g5hyHkal), the first spring 6 (model JX110), and the limiting sleeve 11 (model 304) mentioned in this utility model can be obtained from the market or through private customization.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a computer room cable storage and routing planning auxiliary device, including a cable rack body 1. Multiple cable hanging slots 2 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the cable rack body 1. A connecting rod 12 is provided above the cable hanging slots 2. A push rod 5 that is movably inserted into the outer shell of the cable rack body 1 is fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end face of the connecting rod 12. A rectangular push block 7 is provided below the push rod 5, and the surface of the rectangular push block 7 facing the push rod 5 is an inclined surface 8.

[0025] A first spring 6 is provided on one side of the rectangular push block 7, which is located inside the outer shell of the cable management rack body 1. The surface of the first spring 6 facing the nearest hanging groove 2 is connected to a cable support plate 3. The top end of the cable support plate 3 is located on the lower side inside the hanging groove 2, and the upper end surface of the cable support plate 3 located on the lower side inside the hanging groove 2 is provided with an arc groove 4. Both ends of the lower side inside the hanging groove 2 on the cable management rack body 1, which is used to hold the cable, are provided with a cable support plate 3 that is connected to the first spring 6 and can move left and right. The cable inside the hanging groove 2 can be held in place by the two cable support plates 3 located inside the same hanging groove 2.

[0026] When a cable inside the cable tray 2 malfunctions and needs to be replaced, simply grasp both ends of the cable and pull it downwards. As the cable descends, it will come into contact with the arc-shaped groove 4 on the upper surface of the cable support plate 3. When the two come into contact, but the downward pulling force is still applied to the cable, an outward pushing force will be applied to the two cable support plates 3. When the cable support plates 3 are subjected to the outward pushing force, they will be pushed outwards and squeeze the first spring 6 connected to them. When the distance between the two cable support plates 3 is longer than the cross-sectional diameter of the cable, the cable will be directly pulled out from inside the cable tray 2.

[0027] The above technical solution makes it easier and faster to remove faulty cables, eliminating the need to completely pull one end of the cable from the cable management frame body 1 during the cable removal process, thus making the cable management frame body 1 more convenient to use.

[0028] When the cable is pulled out from the inside of the cable tray 2, the reaction force of the compressed first spring 6 can push the cable support plate 3 inward again until the two cable support plates 3 located inside the same cable tray 2 close together.

[0029] When it is necessary to insert the cable into a hanging slot 2 on the main body 1 of the cable rack, press down the connecting rod 12 located above the hanging slot 2. As the connecting rod 12 descends, the two push rods 5 fixed below the connecting rod 12 will move downward together. As the push rods 5 descend, they will contact the inclined surface 8 on the outer surface of the rectangular push block 7. Under the action of the inclined surface 8, as the push rods 5 descend, the rectangular push block 7 and the cable support plate 3 fixed thereto will be pushed outward together and squeeze the first spring 6 connected thereto. When the distance between the two cable support plates 3 is longer than the cross-sectional diameter of the cable, insert the cable directly into the hanging slot 2 between the two cable support plates 3, and then release the connecting rod 12 so that the two cable support plates 3 close together to fix the cable.

[0030] The above technical solution enables rapid cable installation, eliminating the need to re-insert the cable into the cable tray 2 during installation, thereby further improving the convenience of the cable management frame body 1.

[0031] The outer side of the push rod 5 is provided with a cylindrical groove 9 located inside the outer shell of the cable management frame body 1. The upper side of the cylindrical groove 9 is provided with a limiting sleeve 11 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the push rod 5. The lower end face of the limiting sleeve 11 is connected to a second spring 10 sleeved on the outer surface of the push rod 5. When the push rod 5 is pushed downward, the limiting sleeve 11 fixed to it will move downward together and squeeze the second spring 10 connected to it. When the new cable is installed and the connecting rod 12 is released, the push rod 5 and the connecting rod 12 can be pushed back to their original height by the reaction force of the squeezed second spring 10.

[0032] The limiting sleeve 11 has a circular through hole on the upper surface of the cable management rack body 1, and the inner diameter of the circular through hole is smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the limiting sleeve 11; the limiting sleeve 11 can prevent the push rod 5 from falling off the cable management rack body 1.

[0033] The cable support plate 3 is provided with an anti-detachment groove 13 below it. An anti-detachment rod 14 is fixed inside the anti-detachment groove 13. An anti-detachment sleeve 15 is movably fitted on the outer surface of the anti-detachment rod 14. The upper end face of the anti-detachment sleeve 15 is fixed to the cable support plate 3 located above it. The anti-detachment groove 13, the anti-detachment rod 14 and the anti-detachment sleeve 15 can prevent the cable support plate 3 from falling.

[0034] Both the push rod 5 and the rectangular push block 7 are made of aluminum alloy in one piece, and the push rod 5 is in contact with the inclined surface 8 on the outer surface of the rectangular push block 7. By using aluminum alloy to make the push rod 5 and the rectangular push block 7, the friction damage to both can be reduced when the rectangular push block 7 is pushed outward by the push rod 5, thereby increasing their service life.

[0035] The front and rear ends of the cable support plate 3 and the inner wall of the arc groove 4 are covered with rubber protective sleeves, and the opposing surfaces of the two cable support plates 3 located inside the same cable hanging groove 2 are in contact with each other; the rubber protective sleeves located on the outer surface of the cable support plate 3 and the inner wall of the arc groove 4 can protect the cable between the two cable support plates 3 and prevent it from being damaged.

[0036] The second spring 10 has a square protective cover on one side located on the outer surface of the cable management frame body 1, and the cable management frame body 1 and the square protective cover are fixed together by screws; the square protective cover can protect the internal structure of the cable management frame body 1, and when the internal structure of the cable management frame body 1 fails, the square protective cover can be removed to repair the internal structure of the cable management frame body 1.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
