Cable Management Assembly Rear Detach Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cable management assemblies are difficult to detach in narrow spaces due to the location of the operating part, making it inconvenient for users to manage cables behind electronic components.
Innovation Solution
A cable management assembly with a connecting device featuring a front part detachably connected to a target object and a rear part that can be operated to detach the front part, allowing for easier operation even in confined spaces by pivoting and using an engaging member and operating member to facilitate detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the operating part of the connecting mechanism is arranged at a lateral side of the connecting mechanism, then the connecting mechanism can be structurally simple, but it becomes difficult for users to detach the cable management assembly in narrow spaces
Solution Approach 1:
The operating part is repositioned from a lateral arrangement to a rearward arrangement, changing the spatial dimension of operation. The operating member extends along the longitudinal direction of the cable management assembly, allowing users to access and operate it from the rear side rather than from the lateral side, thereby solving the accessibility problem in narrow spaces.
2Volume of moving object
If the space between the side wall and the connecting mechanism is narrow, then the cable management assembly can be compact, but it is inconvenient for users to extend their hand to press the operating part
Solution Approach 1:
The operating member is configured to extend along the longitudinal direction of the cable management assembly rather than protruding laterally. This dimensional change allows users to access the operating part from the rear side of the assembly, bypassing the narrow lateral space constraint and eliminating the need to extend the hand through the limited space between the side wall and connecting mechanism.
3Ease of operation
If the operating part is positioned laterally for easy access, then user operation is convenient, but it prevents effective cable management behind the carried object
Solution Approach 1:
The operating member is repositioned to extend along the longitudinal direction and be operable from the rear side of the cable management assembly. This dimensional reconfiguration allows the lateral side of the assembly to be fully utilized for cable routing and management behind the carried object, while the operating part remains accessible from the rear, thus resolving the conflict between operational convenience and cable management effectiveness.
