Description

Wire management bracket

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a bracket, and more particularly, to a bracket with a wire management function.

Background

Generally, electronic devices often have cables (cables). When the electronic device is accommodated in the storage cabinet, the cables often need to pass through other structures in the storage cabinet, so that the cables are easily interlaced and wound to cause problems of disorder, knotting and the like.

U.S. patent No. 7473846 discloses a cable support arm (cable support arm 24) that is attachable to a rail (rails 108). Wherein the cable support arm is provided with one or more cable support fittings 48. The wire placing piece is bent into a U shape by a metal wire ring, and a wire body at one side of the U shape is fixed on the cable supporting arm, so that the wire body at the other side of the U shape and the horizontal section of the U shape form an L shape for accommodating and supporting the cable. However, the wire-holding member of the cable support arm is in the shape of an upward-opening hook, and although the cable can be quickly placed, the cable can relatively fall off from the space opened above. Once the cable support arm is in use, the cables placed thereon will also straighten or bend. In other words, the cable may move or deform on the wire placement member and may be more likely to fall out of the space open above the wire placement member.

Therefore, how to overcome the above problems of the conventional wire management bracket has become a problem to be solved in the art.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention provides a wire arranging bracket which can quickly contain a cable and prevent the cable from separating from the wire arranging bracket.

The invention provides a wire arranging bracket which comprises a body and a sliding piece. The body has a top surface, two side surfaces, two retaining walls and a chute. The top surface and the two retaining walls form a containing groove for containing the cable. The sliding groove is arranged on at least one side surface. The sliding member is movably connected to the chute and has a top facing the top surface, the top forcing the cable proximate the top surface as the sliding member moves relative to the chute.

In an embodiment of the invention, the body forms a first convex portion on the top surface, the sliding member forms a second convex portion on the top surface, and the first convex portion and the second convex portion are configured to flex the cable along with the movement of the sliding member relative to the chute.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the top surface includes a straight section and an arc-shaped section. The first convex part is formed on the arc-shaped section. The sliding groove is arc-shaped, and the curvature of the sliding groove is the same as that of the arc-shaped section.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the body has two positioning walls formed on the straight section, and the top surface and the two positioning walls form a positioning groove for accommodating and positioning the cable. Each positioning wall is provided with a clamping part extending towards the other positioning wall, and the clamping part of each positioning wall divides the positioning groove into two positioning sections.

In an embodiment of the invention, the sliding groove penetrates through the two side surfaces, and the sliding member has a sliding portion movably penetrating through the sliding groove.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the sliding groove has a mounting hole, and the aperture of the mounting hole is larger than the groove width of the sliding groove. The sliding part is provided with two extending arms which are spaced from each other and can swing relatively and a stopping section which is formed at the tail ends of the two extending arms. The outer diameter of the stopping section changes along with the relative pivot swing of the two extension arms, and then selectively passes through the mounting hole, so that the sliding part can movably penetrate through and is limited in the sliding groove.

In an embodiment of the present invention, either one of the two retaining walls has an anti-disengaging portion, and the anti-disengaging portion is integrally formed on either one of the two retaining walls.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the sliding groove has a convex point formed on an inner wall surface of the sliding groove.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the side of the sliding member forms an opening.

Based on the above, the cable arranging bracket of the invention can move relative to the sliding groove by virtue of the sliding piece, and the cable is forced to be closer to the top surface by the top part along with the movement of the sliding piece relative to the sliding groove, so that the first convex part and the second convex part bend the cable, and the cable is tightly limited in the accommodating groove, thereby not only rapidly accommodating the cable, but also preventing the cable from easily separating from the cable arranging bracket.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 is an external view of a wire management bracket according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional schematic view of the wire management stent of fig. 1. Fig. 3 and 4 are schematic views illustrating the use of the wire management bracket of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the cable management bracket of the present embodiment includes a body 10 capable of accommodating the cable C and a sliding member 20 movably connected to the body 10 and capable of tightening the cable C.

The body 10 can be assembled to a cabinet or other space for accommodating articles according to the needs of the user or manufacturer. The body 10 has a top surface 11, two side surfaces 12, at least two retaining walls 13 and a sliding slot 14. The top surface 11 and the blocking wall 13 form a receiving groove 15 for receiving the cable C. The top surface 11 includes a straight section 111 and an arc section 112. The retaining wall 13 is integrally formed on the top surface 11, and any retaining wall 13 of the at least two retaining walls 13 has at least one anti-falling portion 131, and the anti-falling portion 131 is integrally formed on any retaining wall 13 of the at least two retaining walls 13 to prevent the cable C from falling off the receiving slot 15. The sliding slot 14 is disposed on at least one side 12 of the two sides 12 and is adjacent to the arc section 112, the sliding slot 14 has at least one mounting hole 141 and a protruding point 142 formed on an inner wall surface of the sliding slot 14, and an aperture of the mounting hole 141 is larger than a slot width of the sliding slot 14. In the present embodiment, the sliding slot 14 is arc-shaped and penetrates through the two side surfaces 12, and the curvature of the sliding slot 14 is the same as that of the arc-shaped section 112. The upper portion of the accommodating groove 15 is open, so that the cable C can enter the accommodating groove 15. The body 10 forms at least one first protrusion 16 on the arc segment 112. In the present embodiment, the arc-shaped segment 112 forms two first protrusions 16 spaced apart from each other.

The body 10 further has two positioning walls 17 formed on the straight section 111, the top surface 11 and the two positioning walls 17 form a positioning groove 18 for accommodating and positioning the cable C, and the upper portion of the positioning groove 18 is open so as to allow the cable C to enter the positioning groove 18. Each positioning wall 17 has at least one locking portion 171 extending toward the other positioning wall 17, and the locking portion 171 of each positioning wall 17 divides the positioning slot 18 into at least two positioning segments 181. In the present embodiment, the two locking portions 171 are integrally formed on each positioning wall 17, and the two locking portions 171 of each positioning wall 17 divide the positioning groove 18 into three positioning sections 181 with different sizes, so as to be suitable for clamping and positioning cables C with different cable diameters.

The slide 20 is movably connected to the chute 14 to be shiftable between a relaxed position and a tightened position. The sliding member 20 has a top 21 facing the top surface 11, a second protrusion 22 formed on the top 21, at least one sliding portion 23 movably disposed through the sliding slot 14, and an opening 24 formed on a side of the sliding member 20. The top 21 forces the cable C to be close to the top 11 as the sliding member 20 moves relative to the sliding slot 14, and the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 22 are configured to flex the cable C as the sliding member 20 moves relative to the sliding slot 14, so as to prevent the cable C from falling out of the accommodating slot 15.

In the present embodiment, the number of the sliding portions 23 is the same as the number of the mounting holes 14. The sliding part 23 has two extending arms 231 spaced apart from each other and capable of swinging relatively, and a stopping section 232 formed at the end of the two extending arms 231. The outer diameter of the stopping section 232 changes along with the two extending arms 231 swinging relatively to each other, and further selectively passes through the mounting hole 141, so that the sliding portion 23 can movably penetrate through and is limited in the sliding slot 14. When the assembler wants to assemble the sliding member 20 to the body 10, since the outer diameter of the stopping section 232 in the natural state is larger than the aperture of the mounting hole 141, the assembler needs to apply a force to the sliding member 20, so that the two extending arms 231 elastically deform and pivot with respect to each other, and the outer diameter of the stopping section 232 in the stressed state is smaller than the aperture of the mounting hole 141, and can pass through the mounting hole 141. When the stopping section 232 passes through the mounting hole 141, it is elastically restored, so that the sliding portion 23 is limited in the sliding slot 14 and cannot be separated from the sliding slot 14.

Referring to fig. 3, when the sliding member 20 is located at the release position, the cable C can rapidly enter the accommodating groove 15 through the open space above the accommodating groove 15 and the opening 24 of the sliding member 20, and the cable C can also rapidly enter the positioning groove 18 through the open space above the positioning groove 18, and enter the positioning section 181 adapted to clamp the current cable C according to the wire diameter of the current cable C. The anti-slip portion 131 can initially prevent the cable C from separating from the receiving slot 15, and the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 22 respectively abut against two opposite sides of the cable C.

Referring to fig. 4, the sliding member 20 moves relative to the sliding slot 14, and the sliding portion 23 gradually moves away from the mounting hole 141 over the protruding point 142 disposed in the sliding slot 14, so that the sliding member 20 is changed from the releasing position to the tightening position. The top 21 forces the cable C closer to the top 11 as the sliding member 20 moves relative to the sliding slot 14, so that the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 22 flex the cable C to tightly force the cable C in the receiving slot 15, thereby preventing the cable C from separating from the receiving slot 15.

In summary, the wire arranging bracket of the present embodiment can move relative to the sliding groove 14 via the sliding member 20, and the top portion 21 forces the cable C to be closer to the top surface 11 along with the movement of the sliding member 20 relative to the sliding groove 14, so that the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 22 bend the cable C to tightly limit the cable C in the accommodating groove 15, which not only can quickly accommodate the cable C, but also can prevent the cable C from easily separating from the wire arranging bracket.

The foregoing description is intended to be illustrative rather than limiting, and it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many modifications, variations or equivalents may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
