Description

Cable management rack

This creation belongs to the field of accessories for industrial computer cabinets, and particularly relates to a cable management frame, which is convenient for operators to quickly place or detach various signal lines or power connection lines.

According to the maturity of communication technology, modern people often use various 3C electronic products such as desktop computers, notebook computers, mobile phones, and tablet computers to handle various life or work affairs. In order to store a variety of business opportunities for e-commerce, various types of industrial computer servers such as cabinet servers, blade servers, or upright servos have been developed to meet the electronic requirements of enterprises. .

Generally, an industrial computer cabinet includes a cabinet and a plurality of servo hosts installed in the cabinet. In addition to the advantages of space saving and easy management, it can also use multiple servo hosts to operate cooperatively to perform large computational items. In order to facilitate the subsequent maintenance and replacement management of the servo host, and provide convenient operating space for maintenance personnel, in addition to the design of the slide rails, the storage of related signal lines and power connection lines has also moved with the slide rails. Cable management structure, so that maintenance personnel can complete the maintenance and replacement management of the servo host in a short time.

At present, the common cable management racks on the market mostly adopt multi-section support arms for pivot connection, and can be designed to be extended by swinging at the pivot joint. One end of the arm is connected to the slide rail or the servo host, so that when the servo host moves outward, the cable management frame can be extended and extended accordingly, and the signal line or power connection line will not Entanglement is happening.

However, the top surface of the aforementioned arm is still open. Although it has the advantage of convenient placement, it also has the disadvantage of falling off from the open space above. This is because when the cable management frame is in use, both ends of the arm will be closed. Straightening or bending and nearly overlapping will also cause the signal line or power connection line placed thereon to be straightened or bent accordingly, which will cause movement or deformation, so it may fall off from the open space above, and, Because such a structure uses a metal plate, its combined weight also deforms, which is also a major problem for use. Therefore, for example, the Republic of China Invention Patent No. I446666 "The cable management device of the cable management frame" discloses a box-shaped cable management device, which includes a socket and a fastener. The signal line or power connection line passes through and is used to limit its moving position, which not only greatly reduces the volume and weight, but also can further prevent the problem of falling off, because more flexible space is provided, the signal line or power When the cable is straightened or bent, the movement or deformation caused by the cable becomes smaller.

Although the above-mentioned cable management device of the cable management frame seems to solve the problem of the original cable management frame, but because the cable management device is fixed at a specific position on the arm, when using different wire thickness, its hardness or can be bent The degree of folding is also different. When some fine-tuning may be required, this type of wire setting device cannot provide an effective solution, or there is a design that combines the wire setting device and can slide on the arm, but also because The position during fixed use cannot be reached and the convenience during use cannot be effectively improved. It is necessary to find a design that can balance the lack of design in the two, thereby improving the long-term problems of the cable management rack.

In view of this, one of the purposes of this creation is to provide a cable management rack that uses a locking means to achieve actions such as locking or releasing when a specific operation is performed on a cable management box in order to improve Convenience and stability during operation and use.

In order to achieve the above purpose, a cable management frame of the present invention includes: an arm, each of which is provided with a connecting portion at two ends, and at least one slide groove is provided along the extending direction of the arm; And at least one cable management box, one side of which is provided with a retaining part and movably disposed in the chute, and the cable management box includes a body and a cover, and the cross section of the system is a U-shaped structure, and The two ends of the opening of the body are respectively provided with a first pivoting portion and a buckling portion, and the cover is provided with a second pivoting portion corresponding to the first pivoting portion to pivot the cover to the body. The upper part is used to close the opening, and there is a locking means for adjusting the position of the cable management box relative to the arm at any time.

In an embodiment, the chute of this creation is composed of two through holes arranged in parallel, and the retaining portions correspond to the through holes to form two opposite snaps. The cross-sectional shape of the two snaps is slightly It is L-shaped and the openings are opposite to each other. In addition, one of the buckles is elastic and easy to install and operate. It should be noted that the arm of this creation is bent into a bow shape corresponding to the width of the cable management box, and the cable management box is installed behind the arm so that the central axis is connected to the two ends of the arm. Straight lines are collinear. In addition, the arm can also be provided with two sections of chute at intervals, and at least one cable management box can be movably arranged in each chute, thereby improving its use flexibility.

In an embodiment, in order to match different uses, the locking means used in this creation is also different. First, the locking means is provided on the outer periphery of the second pivotal portion corresponding to the support arm and is provided with at least A convex part is used to achieve the purpose of locking after the convex part interferes with the arm. In addition, depending on the position of the convex portion, it can also provide different requirements for operators. For example, the convex portion is located at the position when the cover is closed at 0 degrees, and the lock can be formed after the cover is closed, or For example, when the convex part is implemented in a plural form, the two convex parts are respectively located at the position of 90 degrees after the cover is opened and 0 degrees when the cover is closed, and a lock can be formed when the cover is opened and closed. set. Second, the locking means is provided with at least one elastic bump on one surface of the cable management box relative to the arm, and one surface of the arm is provided with a plurality of positioning holes corresponding to the elastic bump, and the The equal positioning holes are arranged at intervals, and one of the elastic bumps is locked behind one of the positioning holes to achieve the purpose of locking.

Due to the lightweight design, in order to take into account its durability and service life, the top and bottom edges of the arm are bent inward to provide a reinforcement part to increase the structural strength of the arm and avoid traction. Straighten or bend when deformed.
