Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable storage technology, specifically a cable storage component for a single-arm computer trolley. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale engineering operations such as mining and tunnel excavation, rock drills are core crushing equipment. Their bodies are equipped with a large number of electrical, control, and signal cables with different functions. Single-arm computer trolleys are rock drills with a single drill arm and a computer control system. They are highly automated and intelligent. The cable design between the various functional modules of this type of rock drill is more complex. If these cables are not effectively stored and restrained, they are prone to tangling, friction and squeezing with external components, or being scraped by gravel. This can lead to damage to the cable insulation, interruption of signal transmission, and even short circuits. In order to maintain cleanliness and safety, these cables need to be stored and restrained.

[0003] Currently, the common cable management method involves confining multiple cables together within frames, conduits, or storage bags. This method addresses the issue of scattered cables to some extent and reduces the risk of cable damage during operation. However, existing cable management structures have several drawbacks in practical applications: Firstly, cables require initial confinement using clamps or cable ties. During this process, multiple cables are bundled together, generating significant friction between the cables and between the cables and the ties. When one or more cables within a ties are pulled, excessive pressure between the ties and cables can cause excessive friction, potentially breaking the ties. Secondly, the tightly bound cables cause their markings to wear and become blurred due to friction, oil contamination, or physical scratches. This makes it difficult to quickly distinguish cables with different functions during equipment maintenance and repair. This not only significantly increases the complexity of maintenance operations and prolongs equipment downtime but also increases the risk of operational errors due to misjudgment of cable usage. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a cable storage component for a single-arm computer trolley. This component reduces the friction between cables and between cables and cable ties, thereby reducing the risk of cable ties being broken. At the same time, it solves the technical problem of the inability to quickly identify cables after the cable markings have worn off.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a cable storage component for a single-arm computer trolley, including cable ties, the two ends of which can be connected to each other to form an annular cable storage area. Multiple partition blocks are arranged at intervals along the radial distribution of the annular cable ties in the cable storage area. Each partition block includes a triangular block, one end of which is connected to the inner wall of the cable ties, and the other end abuts against the adjacent triangular block, so as to divide the cable storage area into multiple cavities for accommodating single or single groups of cables.

[0006] As an optimized solution for the cable storage component of the aforementioned single-arm computer trolley: the inner wall of the cable tie is provided with a card slot, and one end of the triangular block is provided with a card head for snapping into the card slot.

[0007] As another optimized solution for the cable storage component of the aforementioned single-arm computer trolley: the dividing block includes a limiting block disposed at the end of the triangular block away from the cable tie, and the limiting block is a boss extending laterally from the side of the triangular block.

[0008] As another optimization of the cable management component of the aforementioned single-arm computer trolley, the end of the triangular block away from the cable tie is set as a plane.

[0009] As another optimized solution for the cable management component of the aforementioned single-arm computer trolley: the cable ties are provided with a first connecting strap and a second connecting strap at both ends, and the first connecting strap and the second connecting strap are provided with Velcro that can connect the two together.

[0010] As another optimization of the cable storage component of the aforementioned single-arm computer trolley: the side of the triangular block is provided with color markings to distinguish the function of the cables.

[0011] As another optimization of the cable storage component of the aforementioned single-arm computer trolley: the color markings are set on the inner wall of the side of the triangular block.

[0012] As another optimization of the cable management component of the aforementioned single-arm computer trolley: the color markings on the same cable tie are the same color.

[0013] As another optimization of the cable storage component of the aforementioned single-arm computer trolley: the color markings on the triangular blocks are different colors, with one side of the triangular block set as the base color and the other side set as a color marking for identifying cable functions.

[0014] As another optimized solution for the cable management component of the aforementioned single-arm computer trolley: the cable tie is provided with a connecting ring, which is fixed to the body of the cable tie and located on both sides of the cable tie, respectively, along with the separator block.

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Parts not described or disclosed in detail in the following embodiments of this utility model should be understood as prior art known or should be known by those skilled in the art.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a cable storage component for a single-arm computer trolley, including a long strip cable tie 3 made of nylon material. The two ends of the cable tie 3 can be connected to each other to form a ring-shaped cable storage area. Multiple partition blocks 6 are arranged at intervals along the radial distribution of the ring-shaped cable tie 3 in the cable storage area. The main body of the partition block 6 is a hollow right triangular prism structure triangular block 601. The triangular block 601 includes two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. The two triangular faces are isosceles acute triangles and are parallel to each other. The length of the side (i.e., the leg) of the isosceles acute triangle is greater than the length of its base. The three rectangular faces include a rectangular base and two rectangular sides. The rectangular base is connected between the bases of the two isosceles acute triangles, and the rectangular sides are connected between the sides of the two isosceles acute triangles.

[0022] The rectangular base of the triangular block 601 is connected to the inner wall of the cable tie 3. Various connection methods are available, including fixed and detachable connections. Fixed connections can be achieved through bonding, welding, etc. This embodiment provides a detachable connection method: multiple snap-fit ​​boxes 5 are fixed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the cable tie 3. An "I"-shaped snap-fit ​​head is provided on the rectangular base of the triangular block 601. The snap-fit ​​box 5 has a slot that engages with the "I"-shaped snap-fit ​​head. During installation, the "I"-shaped snap-fit ​​head is aligned and pressed into the slot of the snap-fit ​​box 5, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the triangular block 601 and the cable tie 3. The slot and snap-fit ​​head can also adopt other mutually compatible shapes.

[0023] The end of the triangular block 601 away from the cable tie 3 is one edge of a triangular prism. When the cable tie 3 holds the cable 8 into a ring, the edges of the top of the triangular block 601 abut against each other to form an internal support frame, while dividing the cable storage area into multiple cavities for accommodating a single cable or a group of cables 8.

[0024] To further improve the stability of the internal support frame of the cable tie 3, a limiting block 602 is provided at the end of the triangular block 601 away from the cable tie 3. The limiting block 602 is a protrusion extending laterally from the rectangular side of the triangular block 601. When the cable tie 3 holds the cable 8 in a loop, the top edges of the triangular blocks 601 inside abut against each other, and the side of the limiting block 602 also contacts the limiting blocks 602 on the adjacent triangular blocks 601. This design can increase lateral support points and effectively constrain the possible circumferential twisting of the triangular blocks 601, making the support frame composed of multiple triangular blocks 601 more stable.

[0025] Furthermore, the top edge of triangular block 601 is changed to a smaller flat surface, while its overall cross-section remains triangular, in order to increase the contact area when the tops of triangular blocks 601 abut against each other.

[0026] In use, the cable 8 is placed into the cavity formed between two adjacent triangular blocks 601, and then the two ends of the cable tie 3 are fixed. The two ends of the cable tie 3 are provided with a first connecting strip 1 and a second connecting strip 7 integrally injection molded with the cable tie 3. The first connecting strip 1 is provided with hook and loop fasteners, and the second connecting strip 7 is provided with hook and loop fasteners. By pressing the hook and loop fasteners together, the cable tie 3 can be fixed into a ring.

[0027] This utility model features a specific structure called triangular block 601, which divides the cable storage area into multiple cavities for accommodating single or group cables 8, achieving physical isolation of the cables 8 and effectively reducing friction between cables 8 and between cables 8 and cable ties 3, thereby reducing the risk of cable ties 3 being pulled apart.

[0028] The above are the basic embodiments of this utility model. Further improvements, optimizations, and limitations can be made based on the above to obtain the following embodiments:

[0029] Example 2

[0030] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as that of embodiment 1. The improvement is that when the markings on the cable 8 are worn, in order to quickly determine the function of the cable 8 during maintenance, a color marking for distinguishing the function of the cable 8 is provided on the rectangular side of the triangular block 601.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the color markings are set on the inner wall of the rectangular side of the triangular block 601, which can prevent the cable 8 from rubbing against the color marking surface, thus making the color markings clear and effective for a long time.

[0032] Different colors are used on the inner wall of the triangular block 601 to identify cables 8 with different functions. There are several methods for this identification; this embodiment provides two commonly used methods, specifically:

[0033] Single-function cable 8 storage: The triangular blocks 601 on the same cable tie 3 are configured with the same color. A group of cables 8 with the same function or belonging to the same system are stored in the cable tie 3. The function of the cable 8 stored in the cable tie 3 is determined by identifying the color of the inner wall of the triangular block 601.

[0034] Furthermore, color markings are set only on the inner wall of one rectangular side of the triangular block 601, while the inner wall of the other rectangular side is set to a uniform base color, such as white or black. The color markings on the triangular block 601 are set to a uniform orientation, for example, the base color is uniformly facing to the left. When the cable tie 3 stores the cables 8 in a loop, each cable 8 is surrounded by two colors: one is the base color, and the other is a different color marking. The function of each cable 8 stored in the cavity is uniquely determined by the non-base color marking on the side wall of the cavity. This design allows for quick identification even when cables 8 with different functions are stored in one cable tie 3.

[0035] This utility model sets color markings on the inner sidewall of the rectangular side of the triangular block 601, so that the color markings correspond one-to-one with the cable 8, which is intuitive and clear, and is protected by the structure and not easy to wear, realizing the rapid identification of different functional cables during maintenance.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as that of embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in: [The following is a more detailed description of the improvement.] Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the cable tie 3 is provided with a connecting ring 4, which is fixed to the body of the cable tie 3. The connecting ring 4 and the separator block 6 are located on opposite sides of the cable tie 3. The connecting ring 4 has a rectangular structure or other ring-shaped structure. After the cable 8 is stored, an additional rope can be passed through this ring to fix the cable bundle in a suitable position on the device. In other situations where cable bundles need to be secured, the connecting ring 4 can be used to fix them in a suitable position, thereby reducing unnecessary swinging or swaying.

[0038] Example 4

[0039] This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as Embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in the following: In the above embodiment, the Velcro can be replaced with other connecting structures, such as the buckle structure of a watch strap or the ratchet and bar structure of a plastic cable tie, to achieve the locking requirement. Similarly, the engaging structure between the snap-fit ​​box 5 and the triangular block 601 can also be replaced with other detachable connecting structures well known to those skilled in the art, such as a sliding groove connection.

[0040] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
