Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, a cable assembly 20 of the present application includes a cable 21 and two rf plugs 22 connected to two ends of the cable 21. The rf plug 22 includes a shielding shell 221, and the shielding shell 221 includes a head portion 222, an upper top surface 224 and a clamping portion 223 at a rear end of the head portion 222. The width of the clamping portion 223 is smaller than the width of the head portion 222.

The application uses the length direction of the cable 21 as the longitudinal direction, and uses the width direction of the radio frequency plug 22 as the transverse direction.

Referring to fig. 2, a carrier 10 for packaging cable assemblies of the present application includes a first positioning area 11, a second positioning area 12, a connecting portion 13 connecting the first positioning area 11 and the second positioning area 12, and a positioning structure 15 disposed on the first and second positioning areas 11, 12 along a length direction of the carrier 10. The carrier 10 is provided with a plurality of cutting grooves 14 in the length direction to realize the curling performance of the carrier 10, and the carrier 10 is made of metal materials or hard plastic materials.

The positioning structure 15 includes a pair of clamping jaws 151 for clamping the clamping portion 223, a first limiting piece 152 for limiting the front end of the head portion 222, and second and third limiting pieces 153 and 154 for limiting the two lateral sides of the cable 21. The clamping jaw 151 is located between the first position-limiting sheet 152 and the second and third position-limiting sheets 153 and 154. The second and third position-limiting pieces 153 and 154 are arranged in a staggered manner in the transverse direction. The top of the first, second and third position-limiting pieces 152, 153 and 154 is formed with an inclined guide portion 155. The clamping jaw 151 includes an arm portion 1511 extending upward from the first or second positioning region 11, 12, a pinch point portion 1512 bent inward from the arm portion 1511, and a guide portion 1513 extending obliquely outward from an upper end of the pinch point portion 1512.

Referring to fig. 4, the first positioning area 11 of the carrier 10 is provided with a first row positioning structure 31 and a second row positioning structure 32 in the length direction of the carrier 10; the second positioning area 12 of the carrier is provided with a third and a fourth row of positioning structures 33, 34 in the length direction of the carrier 10. Each column of locating formations 15 is disposed obliquely to the connecting portion 13.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, two rf plugs 22 of each cable assembly 20 are respectively fixed on one positioning structure 15 of the first and second positioning regions 11 and 12, and a metal wire is disposed in the cable 21, which has a certain flexibility, that is, the cable 21 is arranged in a U-shaped structure, so as to avoid the need of arranging the cable 21 in a straight line to make the carrier 10 have a wider width, thereby increasing the capacity of the carrier. The clamping jaw 151 of the positioning structure 15 is clamped at two sides of the clamping portion 223 of the radio frequency plug 22, the first limiting piece 152 limits the front end edge of the head portion 222, and the second and third limiting pieces 153 and 154 respectively limit two sides of the cable 21 at positions close to the radio frequency plug 22. The clamping jaw 151 and the first, second and third limiting pieces 152, 153 and 154 clamp and limit the radio frequency plug 22, so that the position of the radio frequency plug 22 is accurately limited, and the radio frequency plug can be conveniently taken and used in the subsequent automatic assembling process.

The first and third columns of positioning structures 31, 33 fix two rf plugs 22 of one cable assembly 20 respectively at two corresponding positioning structures 15 in the transverse direction; the two positioning structures 15 of the second and fourth columns of positioning structures 32, 34 respectively fix the two rf plugs 22 of one cable assembly 20 in the transverse direction. In practical implementation, a plurality of corresponding pairs of positioning structures 15 may be disposed on the first and second positioning areas 11 and 12, respectively, to further increase the capacity of the vehicle.

When the cable assembly 20 is loaded on the carrier 10, the first and third rows of positioning structures 31, 33 are loaded first, and then the second and fourth rows of positioning structures 32, 34 are loaded, however, when the cable assembly 20 is taken, the cable assembly on the second and fourth rows of positioning structures 32, 34 needs to be taken first, so as to avoid the cable 21 from being entangled. Or, the second and fourth rows of positioning structures 32, 34 are loaded first, and the first and third rows of positioning structures 31, 33 are loaded later, and then the positioning structures are taken out reversely.

Referring to fig. 5, the present application further includes another loading method: the first and third rows of positioning structures 31, 33 and the second and fourth rows of positioning structures 32, 34 are used to load the cable assembly 20 in an interlaced manner, and when the cable assembly is taken, the cable assembly is taken from the other end in an interlaced manner in the opposite way, which only requires the carriers 10 to move in sequence. When the cable assembly 20 is taken out, the two sides of the head 222 of the radio frequency plug 22 at the two ends of the cable assembly 20 are clamped by the automatic clamping jaws for taking out.

After the carrier 10 is loaded with the cable assembly 20, the cable assembly is coiled on the reel for transportation, so that the product is effectively prevented from being damaged in the transportation process.

The carrier for packaging the cable assembly improves the capacity by arranging a plurality of corresponding positioning structure rows on the first and second positioning areas 11 and 12 of the carrier 10 respectively so as to load a plurality of rows of cable assemblies 20 in the transverse direction.
