JP2000315875A - Member for bindingly holding cords - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a member which can bindingly and compactly hold the wiring cords of a plurality of electronics arranged on a rack, etc. SOLUTION: A member 100 for bindingly holding cord is constituted, by attaching a pair of cord holding elements 110 to an attaching plate 20 with bolts 150, in a state such that the elements 110 counterpose each other. Each element 110 is formed by bending a board into a U-shape and coated with an insulating layer 112. The front ends 116 of the elements 110 are formed in slopes, so that a clearance G1 is formed between the facing front ends, when the elements 110 are attached to the attaching plate 20. Cords are housed in the space between the elements 110 through this clearance G1. Since the clearance G1 is formed obliquely, the cords housed in the space will not come out of the clearance G1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a member which is mounted on a rack or the like for accommodating electronic equipment and the like and collects and holds various cords.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, by mounting an electronic device such as a server on a rack, a limited space can be effectively used. In this type of rack, the inside of the housing is partitioned by a shelf, and electronic devices such as servers are stored in each partition. Since a large number of cords are connected to each electronic device, a large number of cords are provided in the rack.

[0003]

Since these cords are accommodated in the rack in a complicated manner, handling of the cords may be hindered when replacing the electronic equipment in the rack. . The present invention provides a member for focusing and holding these cords.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a member for converging and holding a wiring cord of an electronic device according to the present invention is formed by bending both ends of a long plate-like material into a U-shape, and is provided at one of the bent ends. And a cord holding element having a beveled mounting bolt hole and a beveled tip formed at the other bent end. In addition, a pair of cord holding elements are fixed to the mounting portion with their leading ends opposed to each other with a gap therebetween. In addition, a coating layer of an insulating material is provided on the surface of the cord holding element.

[0005]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a server rack provided with a cord holding member of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a cord bundle holding member. A server rack, generally designated by reference numeral 1, has a door 4 on the front surface of a housing 3, and a rear panel 2 is detachably mounted on the rear surface.

On both sides of the inside of the housing 3, support columns 5 are vertically arranged.
Is provided. Holes 6 are formed in the support column 5 at an appropriate pitch. A plurality of partition plates 7 are arranged using the holes 6, and a server or the like is mounted on each partition plate 7. Heavy electronic devices are also arranged on the floorboard 8. If necessary, a structure in which a duct 9 is provided at one corner of the rear part of the housing 3 to accommodate a power cord 10 or the like can be adopted.

A vertically long mounting plate 20 is provided at the other rear corner of the housing 3, and the cord holding member 100 of the present invention is mounted on the mounting plate 20. The cord holding member 100 collects and holds cords 30 such as a server mounted on each partition plate 7.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the entire structure of the cord bundle holding member 100. Cord bundle holding member 100
Is configured by arranging the code holding elements 110 to face each other. The cord holding element 110 is formed by bending a plate-like steel material into a substantially U-shape. The portion holding the cord is coated with an insulating material 112 to form an insulating layer. The mounting portion of the cord holding element 110 is provided with a horizontally elongated bolt hole 114, which is fixed to the mounting plate 20 by two bolts 150.

The leading end 116 of the cord holding element 110 is
Form a slope. Then, this tip portion 116 has a gap G _1.
To form a pair of opposing cord holding elements 11
0 is fixed to the mounting plate 20. Adjustment of the gap G ₁
This is achieved by utilizing a horizontally elongated bolt hole 114. A large number of cords are focused and held in a rectangular space formed by a pair of opposed cord holding elements 110.

[0010] Each code is contained in the code holding member 100 through the gap G _1. Moreover, the code that is contained, can also be withdrawn through the gap G _1. The distal end of the cord holding elements forming a gap G ₁ are denoted by the slope 116. Meanwhile, the code contained therein, so aligned in the vertical direction, it does not depart from the gap G _1. However, the cord can be easily taken in and out by bending the cord and passing the gap.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the wiring cords of several electronic devices arranged in a rack or the like are collected and held, so that the wiring in the rack can be arranged and bundled in one place. . Therefore, the electronic devices in the rack can be arranged neatly. Also, code exchange at the time of electronic device exchange or the like can be easily achieved. Further, since the extra cords are not scattered, accidents such as disconnection can be prevented.
