In this embodiment, the driving part 300 is connected to the second end 420 and drives the winding shaft 400 to rotate by driving the second end 420 to rotate.

In a more specific embodiment, the driving part 300 drives the bobbin 400 to rotate by converting a linear motion into a rotation. This kind of setting mode can be convenient for user operation, need not manual rotation spool 400, and simultaneously, linear motion's stroke is shorter than the rotation stroke of spool 400, does benefit to and accomodates longer pencil.

In a more specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the driving part 300 includes a key 301, and the key 301 has a substantially cylindrical structure and is sized to fit into the mounting hole 202. The button 301 is slidably disposed in the mounting hole 202 and may at least partially protrude into the content cavity 201 during sliding. The button 301 has the installation cavity 310, and installation cavity 310 sets up towards interior appearance chamber 201 and communicates with interior chamber 201, and second end 420 stretches into in the installation cavity 310, and second end 420 is provided with the external screw thread, and the inner wall that encloses into installation cavity 310 of button 301 forms the internal thread, and the external screw thread and internal thread screw-thread fit and then can threaded connection. When the key 301 slides along the axial direction of the mounting hole 202, the second end 420 is driven by the driving force of the key 301 to rotate around the axial direction of the mounting hole 202, thereby driving the spool 400 to rotate. In the actual operation process, the key 301 slides along the axial direction of the mounting hole 202 by applying an external force, at this time, the second end 420 is driven by the internal thread on the key 301 to rotate, and in the process, the wire harness can be wound or taken out. Because the winding groove 430 is spirally arranged along the outer wall of the winding shaft 400, and the extension length of the winding groove is greater than the length of the winding shaft 400 along the axial direction of the winding shaft, the key 301 can realize the purposes of shorter sliding stroke and longer wiring harness winding in the winding process, the size of the wiring harness storage device 100 is further reduced, and the portability of the wiring harness storage device is improved.

In one embodiment, the spiral direction of the internal thread of the second end 420 and the spiral direction of the winding slot 430 may be the same direction, such that when the key 301 slides in a direction toward the second end plate 215 and the fourth end plate 225, the second end 420 rotates relative to the key 301, the winding slot 430 may wind the harness, and when the winding shaft 400 rotates in a reverse direction, the harness may be taken out of the winding slot 430. In another embodiment, the direction of the internal thread of the second end 420 is opposite to the direction of the thread of the winding slot 430, such that when the key 301 slides in a direction away from the second end plate 215 and the fourth end plate 225, the second end 420 rotates relative to the key 301, the winding slot 430 can wind the harness, and when the winding shaft 400 rotates in the opposite direction, the harness can be taken out of the winding slot 430.

In order to facilitate the user to manually operate the key 301, at least a portion of the key 301 may extend out of the mounting hole 202 to form a pressing portion, and the user may press the pressing portion to apply pressure to the key 301, so that the key 301 slides along the axial direction of the mounting hole 202. Specifically, one end of the key 301 away from the third end plate 224 and the fourth end plate 225 is closed to form a pressing portion. In order to prevent the pressing portion from completely coming out of the mounting hole 202, the outer wall of the key 301 is provided with a boss, the outer diameters of the key 301 on the two sides of the boss are not equal, the outer diameters of the key 301 located in the mounting hole 202 and the inner cavity 201 are larger than the outer diameter of the key 301 located outside the mounting hole 202, and thus the first end plate 214 and the third end plate 224 can be abutted to the boss, so that the first end plate 214 and the third end plate 224 limit the sliding amount of the key 301, and the key 301 is prevented from completely coming out of the mounting hole 202.

In order to allow the second end 420 to be displaced relative to the key 301 in the axial direction of the mounting hole 202, the depth of the mounting cavity 310 may be set larger than the size of the second end 420, that is, the second end 420 does not completely occupy the mounting cavity 310 when extending into the mounting cavity 310, and the end surface of the second end 420 is spaced from the bottom wall surrounding the mounting cavity 310. In order to ensure the stability of the thread rotation between the second end 420 and the key 301, in some embodiments, the length of the internal thread may be greater than the length of the external thread, so that it can be ensured that the second end 420 and the key 301 do not fall off during the relative rotation, and the key 301 cannot fall off from the mounting hole 202 because the second end 420 and the key 301 are always in thread engagement. Of course, in some embodiments, the length of the external thread may be greater than the length of the internal thread. Wherein the length of the thread refers to the length of the thread along the helical direction thereof.

The pressing driving mode provided by the embodiment can convert the pressing operation of the user into the rotation of the winding shaft 400, so that the winding process of the wire harness is realized, the operation of the user is more convenient, the winding shaft 400 does not need to be manually controlled to rotate, and components such as a motor and the like with heavy weight and large volume do not need to be arranged, so that the volume and the weight of the whole wire harness accommodating device 100 are smaller and more portable.

In other embodiments, the driving portion 300 may also adopt other structures, for example, a manual rotation structure such as a hand wheel, a handle, etc. is provided to extend the second end 420 directly out of the mounting hole 202; alternatively, a device such as a motor may be provided as the driving portion 300 to be connected to the second end 420, and is not particularly limited herein.

In one embodiment, since a metal plug is usually disposed at an end of a wire harness such as a charging wire or a USB connection wire, the fixing member 600 may be a magnetic member 610, and the magnetic member 610 is suitable for magnetically attracting the wire harness, and further, when the bobbin 400 is made of a metal material, the magnetic member 610 may also magnetically attract the bobbin 400. The magnetic member 610 may be directly disposed on the bobbin 400 and disposed adjacent to the second end 420, and this arrangement may more effectively utilize the length of the winding slot 430 to accommodate a longer wire harness, although the magnetic member 610 may also be disposed at other positions of the bobbin 400, and is not limited herein.

The magnetic member 610 may be embedded in the bobbin 400, and may be partially exposed on the outer wall of the bobbin 400, so that a user may recognize the magnetic member 610 and magnetically attract the plug of the wire harness. In some embodiments, the magnetic member 610 may be embedded in the bobbin 400. The number of the magnetic members 610 may be one or more, and a permanent magnet may be employed as the magnetic members 610 to improve the attraction force. Preferably, the magnetic member 610 may be disposed at a notch position of the winding slot 430 near the second end 420, such that a user may first attach the plug of the wire harness to the magnetic member 610, and at least a portion of the wire harness is wound in the winding slot 430, so as to improve the receiving efficiency.

In other embodiments, the fixing member 600 may have other structures. For example, in one embodiment, the fixing member 600 may be a screw, and the screw may be fixed to the outer wall of the bobbin 400, and when in use, one end of the wire harness may be wound around the screw to be pre-fixed. In another embodiment, a clip for fixing a plug of a wire harness may be provided as the fixing member 600, and in this case, the fixing member 600 may be similarly provided on the outer wall of the bobbin 400.

It is understood that the fixing member 600 may be configured in other forms, and only a plug capable of pre-fixing a wire harness is required, which is not particularly limited herein.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
