Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable management technology, specifically a reinforced cable management rack. Background Technology

[0002] Cable management racks are products used to organize cable harnesses. For example, the product with publication number CN217563940U can store messy cable harnesses, bringing many conveniences to cable harness organization, cable harness testing, and cable harness repair in computer room cabinets.

[0003] However, when installing this product with a server rack, because the product is made entirely of plastic and has low strength, it requires the mounting holes on the lugs on one side of the base and the mounting holes on the extension rod on the other side of the base to work together to be stably installed on the server rack. If only the mounting holes on one side are used to install it with the server rack, the product may deform over time due to its low strength. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of product installation, the overall size of the product must be sacrificed. However, the larger size will make the product unable to adapt to server racks of various depths. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reinforced cable management rack, which can at least solve some of the defects in the existing technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a reinforced cable management rack, comprising a base, the base having a plurality of cable storage channels for cable bundles to pass through, each cable storage channel having cable bundle openings at both ends, a cover mounted on the base, the cover having a mounting portion that can be fitted with external parts, and the cover having a reinforced structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the cover includes a panel and a metal frame, the metal frame being mounted on the base, and the panel being mounted on the metal frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the panel is provided with an identification block corresponding to the wire harness port.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a plug that can seal the opening of the wire harness.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a buckle that can be disposed on the base, the buckle including an annular section formed by the plate body for the wire harness to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the plate has protrusions, and the base has grooves into which the protrusions can be engaged.

[0011] Furthermore, the buckle is slidably mounted on the base via a sliding structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the wire harness opening is a closed opening formed by the surrounding edges.

[0013] Furthermore, the edge of the base is provided with a through hole.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes an upper cover disposed on the base body, the upper cover obscuring each of the wire storage channels.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a reinforced cable management rack, including a base 1. The base 1 has several cable storage channels 10 for cable harnesses to pass through, and each cable storage channel 10 has cable harness openings at both ends. A cover 2 is mounted on the base 1, and the cover 2 has a mounting part 20 that can be installed with external parts. The cover 2 also has a reinforced structure. In this embodiment, by designing a reinforced cover 2 on the base 1, the base 1, reinforced by the cover 2, can be directly installed on external parts, such as a server rack, through the mounting part 20 on the cover 2. The reinforced cover 2 can stably support the weight of the product and its cable harnesses and other components without deformation. Compared with existing products, it eliminates the need for extensions and lengthening rods, reducing the product size and saving production costs. Specifically, the existing product is the applicant's own product, which has been optimized and improved in this embodiment after years of use. The most significant optimization lies in the ingenious use of a reinforced faceplate 2 mounted on the base 1. Even though the base 1 is still made of plastic, the faceplate 2, once installed, can easily support the weight of the product when used with external components, such as a server rack. This weight comes from the weight of the base 1 itself, the wiring harness, the mounting screws, and the top cover 4. By designing the strength of the faceplate 2, it can withstand the combined weight of these components, thus reliably mounting the product onto external parts. Preferably, the faceplate 2 is detachable from the base 1, allowing for replacement as needed. Detachable connections can be made using methods such as snap-fit, threaded, or magnetic connections. When using the base 1, the wire harness opening can be divided into a wire harness inlet 11 and a wire harness outlet 12 according to its function. The wire harness is inserted from the wire harness inlet 11 and discharged from the wire harness outlet 12. Of course, this embodiment does not limit which is the wire harness inlet 11 and which is the wire harness outlet 12 in the figure. In principle, the wire harness is stored in one inlet and one outlet. How to use this product can be selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the wire harness inlets 11 can be concentrated together, either as a single line as shown in the figure or in an array. This facilitates the installation of a single cover 2. The wire harness outlets 12 can be designed as needed. For example, in this embodiment, the wire harness outlets 12 are divided into two directions by a two-lobed fan-shaped structure. Of course, the wire harness outlets 12 can also be concentrated into a single line or an array, just like the wire harness inlets 11. The mounting part 20 on the cover 2 is the mounting hole on the lug.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4The aforementioned cover 2 is further refined. The cover 2 includes a panel 21 and a metal frame 22. The metal frame 22 is mounted on the base 1, and the panel 21 is mounted on the metal frame 22. In this embodiment, the cover 2 is refined into a panel 21 and a metal frame 22. The metal frame 22 is the reinforced structure of the cover 2. The reinforced structure made of metal parts can greatly improve the strength of the cover 2, thereby meeting the requirements for its stable installation on external components such as cabinets. The metal frame 22 can be mounted on the base 1, and the panel 21 can be mounted on the metal frame 22, both using the aforementioned detachable connection method. Of course, the reinforced structure is not limited to using a metal frame 22; a cover 2 with reinforcing ribs can also be designed, and a cover 2 that meets the requirements can be selected through strength tests. The aforementioned mounting holes are present on both the panel 21 and the metal frame 22, and they are aligned. When the panel 21 and the metal frame 22 are assembled, their mounting holes will overlap, allowing for convenient assembly of the product with the cabinet.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The panel 21 is provided with an identification block 23 corresponding to the wire harness port. The identification block 23 can be designed on the panel 21, such as the digital identification shown in this embodiment, which can facilitate the staff to record the type of wire harness in each wire storage channel 10, and provide convenience for later maintenance and repair.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This reinforced cable management rack also includes a plug 7 that can seal the cable harness opening. The plug 7 can be designed at the inlet and / or outlet of the unused cable storage channel 10 to prevent dust accumulation; the plug 7 can be made of silicone.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The seat 1 includes a support plate 15 and partitions 14 disposed on the support plate 15. The support plate 15 and two adjacent partitions 14 cooperate to form the wire storage channel 10. The partitions 14 may be vertically disposed on the support plate 15. The shape of the partitions 14 can be designed to define the shape of the wire storage channel 10. For example, if the arc-shaped partitions 14 are used in this embodiment, the wire storage channel 10 will be a curved channel. If the straight partitions 14 are used in this embodiment, the wire storage channel 10 will be a straight channel. Arc-shaped partitions 14 and straight partitions 14 can also be used together. For example, if straight partitions 14 are designed at the outer edge of the seat 1, then buckles 5 can also be installed at this edge. The two arc-shaped partitions 14 at the middle notch of the current seat 1 are not convenient for installing buckles 5, so that buckles 5 can only be conveniently installed at... Figure 4 The position is shown. Of course, the number of clips 5 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 7This reinforced cable management rack also includes clips 5 that can be mounted on the base 1. In this embodiment, the clips 5 are optional accessories. The function of the clips 5 is to cooperate with the cable storage channel 10 to store cable bundles. The number of clips 5 can be selected as needed, simply by configuring a corresponding mounting structure on the base 1. Preferably, as... Figure 7 As shown, the buckle 5 includes an annular section 51 formed by the plate body 50, through which the wire harness can pass. The buckle 5 is an overall annular structure. Functionally, the plate body 50 can be divided into a vertical plate 55 and two L-shaped plates 56. The three are in a ring structure. The L-shaped plates 56 can be elastic plates. The two are arranged close to each other, as shown in the staggered state in this embodiment. In this way, the wire harness can be squeezed into the annular section 51 through the gap between the two. Alternatively, the two L-shaped plates 56 can be facing each other, and the wire harness can be squeezed into the gap between the two.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The plate 50 has a protrusion 52, and the base 1 has a groove 53 into which the protrusion 52 can be engaged. In this embodiment, Figure 5 It is in the state where clip 5 is not installed. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The buckle 5 is installed. The protrusion 52 can be set on the vertical plate 55. During installation, the protrusion 52 on the vertical plate 55 can be inserted into the groove 53 on the base 1, thereby realizing the installation and positioning of the buckle 5.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The buckle 5 is slidably mounted on the base 1 via a sliding structure. A sliding surface 13 is designed on the base 1, allowing the buckle 5 to slide along the sliding surface 13 to different positions. A groove 53 can be provided at the sliding position, facilitating positioning by the protrusion 52 engaging the groove 53 after sliding. The sliding structure includes hooks 54 hooked onto the edge of the base 1. In this embodiment, four hooks 54 can be designed to clamp the buckle 5 along the edge of the base 1 without affecting its sliding. In normal use, the buckle 5 is first pulled away from the base 1, pulling the protrusion 52 out of the groove 53. Then, the buckle 5 is driven to slide along the sliding surface 13. After sliding to the correct position, the buckle 5 is pushed towards the base 1, causing the protrusion 52 to engage the groove 53, thus completing the positioning of the buckle 5.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 4The wire harness opening is a closed opening formed by the edge 16. In this embodiment, compared to the applicant's previous products, the use of a closed wire harness inlet 11 and / or outlet 12 allows the base 1 to be used independently. In existing products, because both the wire harness inlet 11 and outlet 12 are U-shaped, when the base 1 is used independently for wire storage, the wire storage channel 10 facing the upper cover 4 is open, offering no constraint on the wire harness. If not used with the upper cover 4, there is a risk that the wire harness may escape from the wire storage channel 10. This embodiment, however, uses a closed opening, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, both the wire harness inlet 11 and the wire harness outlet 12 are square openings formed by the edges 16. Since the openings are closed, even if the base 1 is not used in conjunction with the top cover 4, the wire harness can still be limited at the wire harness inlet 11 and / or the wire harness outlet 12, preventing the wire harness from escaping from the wire storage channel 10. Moreover, the strength of the closed opening is also higher, improving the durability of the wire storage channel 10.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The edge of the base 1 is provided with a through hole. In this embodiment, in order to make the assembly of the base 1 with the external parts more secure, a through hole 18 can also be provided on the edge of the base 1, which can be used to fix it to the external parts such as the cabinet with the strip.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The base 1 and the cover 2 are fitted with a pre-drilled pin hole 17. In this embodiment, the pre-drilled pin hole facilitates the installation of the pin and ensures a more secure fixation to prevent displacement when the product has special stress requirements later.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The reinforced cable management rack also includes an upper cover 4 covering the base 1, which covers each of the cable storage channels 10. The upper cover 4 is a structure that existed in the applicant's previous generation product, and this embodiment has not improved it. Its function is to cover the base 1 and, together with the support plate 15 of the base 1, cover each partition 14, which can protect the cable harness and improve its appearance.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a server rack, including a rack body and the aforementioned reinforced cable management rack, with the mounting part 20 fixedly installed on the rack body. In this embodiment, the aforementioned reinforced cable management rack can be used in conjunction with the server rack for cable bundle storage within the rack. Compared to the previous generation product mentioned in the applicant's background art, the reinforced cable management rack of this embodiment has the advantages of smaller size, controllable cost and number of parts, and is more suitable for server racks of different depths.

[0038] 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.
