Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a hub box installation structure, including a hub box 10 and a base 20 for mounting the hub box 10. Preferably, the base 20 may be part of a desktop structure, but is not limited thereto, and may also be the bottom structure of other devices or a wall structure, so as to realize the applicability of the present invention in multiple scenarios.

[0030] The junction box 10 includes a rotating plate 11 that can rotate relative to the base 20. The rotating plate 11 can switch between an extended state and a closed state so that the user can fold it up to save space when not in use and unfold it for use when it is necessary to organize or maintain cables.

[0031] One side of the rotating plate 11 is hinged to the fixed plate 12, which is fixedly installed on the base 20, thereby realizing the rotation function. This structure is simple and reliable, and easy to assemble and maintain.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixing plate 12 has a perforated groove 121. The socket 14 is inserted into the perforated groove 121 and fixed to the fixing plate 12 by threaded fasteners. This structure facilitates the integration of the socket 14 into the junction box 10 for centralized power supply. Users can directly insert power cords, charging cables, etc., into the socket 14 on the fixing plate 12 as needed, which is convenient and quick. This structural design integrates the socket 14 with cable management, effectively saving space and improving the overall tidiness of the desktop.

[0033] Preferably, the socket 14 can be a modular socket structure, which can be replaced with USB interface, power socket, network port, HDMI interface module, etc., depending on the usage scenario, improving the functional flexibility of the junction box. Simultaneously, the socket 14 can also be installed on the fixing plate 12 via a snap-fit ​​structure or sliding rail mounting method, facilitating disassembly, replacement, or later maintenance. The socket 14 can also be set on the rotating plate 11, fixing plate 12, or other junction box structures according to specific usage requirements to achieve diverse layouts.

[0034] Two snap-fit ​​structures are provided between the rotating plate 11 and the base 20, located near the two side edges of the rotating plate 11. Each snap-fit ​​structure includes a protrusion 131 on the rotating plate 11 and a recess 221 on the base 20. The protrusion 131 is preferably located on the first connector 13, which is installed on the mounting plate 1121 integrally formed on the rotating plate 11 by threaded fasteners. The second connector 22 is provided with two protrusions 222, and a recess 221 is formed between the two protrusions 222 for engaging with the protrusion 131. This recess 221 structure formed by the gap between the protrusions 222 has the advantages of simple processing and precise positioning, which can improve the snap-fit ​​stability and repeatability of the rotating plate 11 and the base 20. The second connector 22 is embedded in the groove 21 on the base 20 by threaded fasteners, which enhances the structural strength and positioning accuracy.

[0035] More preferably, the two side walls of the protrusion 131 are provided with arc-shaped protrusions 1311. When the protrusions 1311 are engaged, they form a limiting abutment fit or a slight interference fit with the inner wall of the recess 221 to enhance the holding force when the rotating plate 11 is closed and effectively prevent shaking or loosening.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, to enable cable exit, a baffle 112 is provided on the free side of the rotating plate 11 away from the hinge end. A portion of the baffle 112 is bent inward to form an exit opening 111 for cable exit. This exit opening 111 is a clearance structure on the rotating plate 11. Its design eliminates the need for additional holes in the baffle 112 or the rotating plate 11 itself, simplifying the manufacturing process and maintaining the integrity and appearance of the junction box structure. It also effectively prevents cable damage and pinching.

[0037] In addition to the above-described embodiments, the clearance structure can also be implemented in other forms, such as pre-setting through holes or slits on the edge or body of the rotating plate 11, or providing detachable cable protection covers, soft rubber sleeves, brush holes, etc., to achieve smooth cable exit and flexible protection. All of the above structural forms can achieve the cable exit function and are equivalent variations of the clearance structure described in this utility model, and should also be included within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] To facilitate cable management, the rotating plate 11 is also equipped with four winding posts 113. These winding posts 113 extend vertically upward from the upper surface of the rotating plate 11, allowing users to wind excess cables around them, effectively preventing cable tangling and accumulation.

[0039] In addition, a clip-on cable management plate 114 is fixedly installed on the rotating plate 11, which has two rows of clips 1141. These clips 1141 can be used to clamp and fix cables to prevent them from getting tangled. The clip-on cable management plate 114 can also be replaced with Velcro cable ties, detachable card-type cable bundles, or other forms to further improve the system's adaptability, depending on the usage requirements.

[0040] The junction box mounting structure described in this embodiment is fixed by mechanical snap-fit, eliminating the need for screws or magnetic structures and avoiding safety hazards caused by weakened magnetic force or loose screws. It also boasts advantages such as easy installation, convenient use, stable structure, and efficient cable management, making it particularly suitable for modern office desks, height-adjustable desks, and other scenarios requiring frequent cable adjustments.

[0041] In this embodiment, the hub box mounting structure is preferably applied to a height-adjustable desk. Specifically, the base 20 is the desktop of the height-adjustable desk, and the hub box 10 is installed at its bottom. Through the above structural design, when the desktop is height-adjusted with the height-adjustable desk mechanism, the hub box 10 located at its bottom can stably follow without additional adjustment, thus improving the overall coordination of the system.

[0042] This utility model is particularly suitable for office furniture such as height-adjustable desks that have higher requirements for cable management. Its junction box installation structure achieves convenient maintenance through the rotatable rotating plate 11, and achieves good holding force through the concave-convex snap-fit ​​structure, avoiding the risk of loosening during vibration or repeated lifting and lowering of traditional magnetic fixing methods.

[0043] Furthermore, since the junction box 10 is installed under the desktop, it not only saves space, but also makes operation convenient through the rotatable structure of the rotating plate 11. With the cable outlet 111 set on its free side, the cables can be easily organized when open and can be orderly led out when closed, effectively avoiding problems such as cable damage and tangling, and further improving the aesthetics and practicality of the overall system.

[0044] Of course, in addition to height-adjustable desks, the junction box installation structure of this utility model is also suitable for various application scenarios such as fixed-height office desks, conference tables, teaching platforms, and control consoles, and has good versatility and expandability.

[0045] This specification and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of this application and are intended to cover any and all modifications, variations, combinations, or equivalents within the scope of this application. Clearly, those skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications to this application without departing from its scope. Therefore, if such modifications and modifications fall within the scope of this application and its equivalents, this application intends to include such modifications and modifications.
