Cable Organizing Mechanism for Stable U-Shaped Cable Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cable organizing racks occupy large spaces and cause U-shaped cables to twist and displace, affecting project quality and requiring excessive time for troubleshooting.
Innovation Solution
A cable organizing mechanism with a first and second plate body that form pass-through holes and limiting holes, utilizing clamping joints and adjusting pieces to securely organize cables without increasing the space occupied, allowing for quick connection and adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cable organizing rack is arranged independently to organize cables, then cable organization effect is improved, but occupying space increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the cable organizing function with the cable distribution rack by integrating an organizing plate that can be clamped to the front side of the distribution rack. This merging eliminates the need for a separate independent cable organizing rack, thereby improving cable organization effectiveness while reducing the total occupying space in the cabinet.
Solution Approach 2:
The cable distribution rack is designed to perform multiple functions: cable distribution and cable organization. The organizing plate integrated onto the distribution rack provides additional cable organizing capability, making the distribution rack a multi-functional device that serves both distribution and organization purposes without requiring additional dedicated space.
2Ease of operation
If U-shaped cables are bent to pass through the organizing structure, then cable routing is achieved, but U-shaped ends become twisted and displaced
Solution Approach 1:
The organizing plate provides localized guidance and support structures at specific positions where cables need to be routed. By providing targeted local support at the bending areas and pass-through locations, the structure maintains cable positions and prevents twisting and displacement of U-shaped ends while still enabling proper cable routing.
Solution Approach 2:
The organizing plate acts as an intermediary structure between the cable distribution rack and the cables themselves. It provides a mediating surface with guiding features that help maintain cable geometry and prevent displacement during routing, thereby stabilizing cable positions while enabling operational flexibility.
3Reliability
If a separate cable organizing rack is used, then cable organization is improved, but troubleshooting time increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the cable organizing function into the cable distribution rack itself, the patent creates an integrated system where both distribution and organization occur at the same location. This eliminates the need to physically move between separate racks during troubleshooting, thereby reducing troubleshooting time while maintaining effective cable organization.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a cable organizing mechanism, including: a first plate body and a second plate body. When the second plate body is mutually clamped with the first plate body, an opening allowing a joint of a cable to pass through is closed to form at least one a pass-through hole configured to allow the cable to pass through. The present invention further includes a cable arranging mechanism, including an extending plate connected with at least one of the first plate body or the second plate body and an auxiliary plate mutually clamped with the extending plate. When the extending plate is clamped with the auxiliary plate, a first clamping notch and a second clamping notch constitute a limiting hole allowing a cable to pass through. The present invention can solve the problem that after cables between a cabinet and a switch are organized in order, U-shaped ends of the cables are twisted and displaced due to their own characteristics, a cable organizing effect is unfavorable, and the cables cannot be completely spaced apart, and quality of project construction is affected.
