Technical field
[0001] The present utility model relates to the field of cable management boxes, specifically a multifunctional cable management box. State of the art
[0002] The socket has multiple ports for easy connection to electrical plugs. With the rapid development of technology, numerous household appliances have found their way into almost every home. While this makes people's lives easier, it also has negative consequences, such as when many plugs are inserted into sockets and the cables of various electrical devices become tangled, making use very impractical and tidying up very tedious. For this reason, cable management boxes have appeared on the market, designed to house sockets and bundles of cables. However, the cable management boxes currently available take up a relatively large amount of space and only serve one purpose. To improve the functionality of the cable management box and make it more user-friendly and organized, a multifunctional cable management box is presented here. Content of the utility model
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is to provide a multifunctional cable management box with a simple design, high expandability and easy interchangeability.
[0004] The technical solution employed by this utility model to solve the aforementioned technical problems is as follows: a multifunctional cable management box with a main section for accommodating sockets and cable harnesses. The main section is provided with a mounting opening and features a removable extension module, the extension module being equipped with a viewing window that is flush with the mounting opening.
[0005] Preferably, a recess is provided on the inside of the main part of the cable management box into which the expansion module is inserted. The advantage is that the expansion module can be replaced as needed using the provided recess, thus increasing application flexibility.
[0006] Furthermore, the cable management box is equipped with mounting plates on both sides of the installation opening. Each mounting plate has a stop plate, and the mounting plates, stop plates, and the main part of the cable management box together form the aforementioned recess. A spacer plate is also attached to the underside of each stop plate. The advantage is that the interaction of the mounting plates, stop plates, and spacer plates facilitates the insertion of the expansion module into the recess and the assembly of the product.
[0007] Preferably, the aforementioned expansion module is equipped with a front cover and an elastic clamping element that interacts with the front cover. The expansion module is inserted into the installation opening, with the front cover and the elastic clamping element interacting to clamp the main part of the cable management box. The advantage is that the interaction of the front cover and the elastic clamping element allows the expansion module to snap into place more securely and be clamped and fixed to the main part of the cable management box.
[0008] Furthermore, the aforementioned main part is equipped with mounting plates on the inside of the installation opening. The front cover abuts these mounting plates, and the cover and the elastic clamping element interact to clamp the mounting plates securely. The advantage is that the mounting plates improve the interaction between the front cover and the elastic clamping element when snapping into place. By adjusting the thickness of the mounting plates to a suitable thickness, the locking mechanism between the front cover and the elastic clamping element functions more effectively, thus preventing wobbling.
[0009] Furthermore, the aforementioned front edge of the front cover is flush with the outer wall of the cable management box. The advantage is that a flush front cover and cable management box are more aesthetically pleasing and thus prevent scratches.
[0010] Preferably, the aforementioned expansion module includes at least one of the following units: time, temperature, or humidity. It not only displays the time, but also monitors and displays the ambient temperature and humidity so that the user can easily read this information.
[0011] In addition, the aforementioned expansion module is also equipped with a power supply unit, with the power supply working either with batteries or via USB.
[0012] Furthermore, the power outlet housed in the cable management box features a USB port for use with USB power. The advantage is that the expansion module can be powered directly via the USB port, increasing user-friendliness and making it more practical.
[0013] In comparison to existing technologies, the present utility model offers the advantage that the removable extension module can be selected as needed to display time, ambient temperature and humidity, etc., so that the user can conveniently read the time and information about the environment.
