Description

Cable hank
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of cable hank.Especially, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to be used for the cable hank of power cable, wherein, one or more electrical sockets are set on the cable hank, thereby for being positioned at the electric device supply electric power away from main power source.
Background technology
Cable hank is configured to electric power is transported to long-range position from main power source usually.Cable hank typically comprises cylindrical drum that is installed on the framework and the cable that is wound on the reel.The free end of cable is provided with the plug that is suitable for inserting main power socket.The other end of cable is sent in one or more sockets in the panel that is arranged on reel one end place.Each socket is configured to receive the plug from remote-control device, and through the cable of cable hank electric power is flowed to this device.Wherein, cable hank is configured for the open air, and the covering that has hinged cover typically is installed on panel, avoids the intrusion of water and dust with the protection socket.Yet these coverings often damage in transportation or in using.
Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a kind of cable hank that addresses the above problem.
Summary of the invention
According to a first aspect of the invention, provide a kind of cable hank, comprised reel, reel has one section cable that can be wound on the reel; Cable has free end, and free end is equipped with the plug that is used to insert complimentary socket, and the other end of cable is sent at least one socket on the panel that is arranged on reel one end place; At least one socket is provided with protective cover, and wherein, socket and covering at least in part in the concave panel.
According to a second aspect of the invention, provide a kind of panel that is used for cable hank, comprised at least one socket, socket is provided with protective cover, wherein socket and covering at least in part in the concave panel.
Therefore, the invention provides cable hank, wherein, protective cover is than the less degree of standard ground projection.This not only is used to make cable hank compacter (and be convenient to more thus store and transportation), is the risk damaged of protective cover when transportation or in use no matter also reduced.Further, the fact that socket itself is recessed, having reduced water, dust or the contact of other pollutant wherein may be the risk of the contactant of electricity.In a word, by effectively socket being included in the reel, the present invention has more effectively utilized the inner space of reel.
In a specific embodiment, panel, socket and cover are made by monolithic moulding material (for example plastics).Advantageously, it means that these elements can form in single process (for example injection mo(u)lding), rather than individually makes and then assembling.This cause higher efficient and thereby more cost-efficient manufacture process, and also cause between these elements, need not to add panel, water or other pollutant can enter cable hank and weaken its performance by described panel.
Protective cover can be by constituting around socket and from the outward extending hollow tube of socket.Lid can be configured to the free end of cover when socket does not use.Lid can be installed into and can move to open position from off-position, allows plug insertion socket at described open position.Lid can be hinged, can slippingly or can install rotationally.
In certain embodiments, 50% of cover or more concave panels in.This has reduced the risk of damaging cover and/or socket significantly.
In a specific embodiment, cover in 100% concave panel.
Reel can be pivotally mounted on the support.Alternatively, reel can be installed in rotation in the shell.In either case, reel can be provided with and carry handle.
Cable can be electric power or optics and can be configured to transmit electric power, TV, phone, the Internet or network signal.

Specific embodiment
Referring to Figure 1A, it shows the cable hank 10 according to first embodiment of the invention.Cable hank 10 comprises the cable 12 of coiling hollow cylindrical reel 14.The free end 15 of cable 12 is provided with plug 16, and plug 16 is used for being inserted into the socket (not shown) of the complementation that is connected to main power source.
Round flange (mark front flange 18A and back flange 18B) is set at each end place of reel 14, and round flange radially extends from reel 14, and is configured to cable 12 is remained on the reel 14.Shown in Figure 1A, the front of reel 14 is provided with panel 20, and panel 20 is arranged among the front flange 18A, and with the end part aligning of reel 14.Panel 20 is provided with the electrical socket 22 (shown in Fig. 2 D) of two vicinities, and each electrical socket 22 is centered on by cover 24, and cover 24 partly extends outward panel 20.Each cover 24 is provided with and covers 26, and lid 26 is connected to the top of cover 24 by hinge 28.The bottom of each lid 26 is provided with protuberance 29, and protuberance 29 is configured to cover 26 as the finger handle part to open.
Towards the outward flange of front flange 18A, be provided with cylindrical grip 30.Cylindrical grip 30 is as the hand handle part of rotating drum 14, thereby reels or tear cable 12 on the winding reel 14 open.
Place, rear portion at reel 14 is provided with the plate (not shown) that prevents to enter reel 14.Tubular metal support 32 extends from described plate, tubular metal support 32 provides U-shaped footing 34, and U-shaped footing 34 is positioned under the reel 14, and extends upward from the rear portion of reel 14, carry handle 36 to terminate in the center, handle 36 is carried towards the direction parallel with the axle of reel 14 in the center.
Though not shown, cable 12 be admitted to the center of reel 14 away from an end of free end 15, and therefore be electrically connected to each socket 22.
Figure 1B shows cable hank 40 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.Cable hank 40 among Figure 1B and unique important difference part of the cable hank 10 among Figure 1A are the shape of support 32 '.Therefore use suitable same reference numerals.As mentioned above, the support 32 ' among Figure 1B extends from the plate at the rear portion of reel 14, and forms the U-shaped footing 34 ' that is positioned under the reel 14.Yet in the present embodiment, other has U-shaped pillar 42 to be arranged on the relative direction of U-shaped footing 34 ', and is connected with the inboard of footing 34 ', to form rectangular susceptor 44.Back corner place at pedestal 44, support 32 ' vertically extends to the top of about back flange 18B, and extend towards the center of cylinder 14 forward and upwards herein, carry in the handle 36 ' until terminating in, carry handle 36 ' towards with the direction of the axle quadrature of reel 14.
Fig. 2 A, 2B, 2C and 2D show the more details of the panel 20 that the cable hank that shows among Figure 1A and Figure 1B 10,40 adopts among both.As seen from the figure, socket 22 and cover 24 are partly in the concave panel 20.In fact, in this embodiment of panel 20, each cover 24 about 50% by recessed.From these figure, also can be clear that, under the situation of plastic material, panel 20, socket 22 and cover 24 and be combined into an independent molding.
