2. Description of the Related Art Next, a conventional method for fixing a cable to a pallet will be described with reference to FIG. 3A and 3B are views for explaining a conventional method of fixing a cable to a pallet. FIG. 3A is a plan view schematically showing a cable in which an electronic device and an adapter are connected, and FIG. It is a top view which shows typically the cable which opened the one end connected to the electronic device.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the conventional method for fixing the cables to the pallet is to fix a plurality of cable bands 14 at the required points of the pallet 11 and then to connect the cables 12 with the respective cable bands 14. Pallet
It was fixed at 11.

The cable 12 is fixed to the pallet 11 while being connected to one end of an electrical connecting means, such as a rectangular connector 12a, which is detachably connected to the electronic device 10 freely mounted on the pallet 11. A circular connector 12b, which is an electrical connection means that is detachably coupled to the adapter 13.
It is configured by connecting.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, the cable 12
Is generally long enough to flexibly accommodate a plurality of electronic devices 10 having different sizes and shapes.

Therefore, depending on the electronic device 10 mounted on the pallet 11, the cable 12 of the electronic device 10 may have an extra length portion 12c, which is a slack. Since the extra length portion 12c is likely to be scattered on the pallet 11, it is folded back in a zigzag shape and fixed by the cable band 14 fixed to the pallet 11.

However, not only a large number of man-hours are required for folding back the extra length portion 12c, but also a lot of man-hours are required for fixing the folded back extra length portion 12c by the cable band 14. there were.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a method of fixing a cable to a pallet which can easily fix an extra length of the cable to the pallet in a short time. It is in.

[0009]

As shown in FIG. 1, the above-mentioned object is to provide an electrical connection means 12a connected to one end with a pallet 11.
In the method of fixing the cable to the pallet, which is removably coupled to the electronic device 10 temporarily mounted in, and the extra length portion 12c is generated when the other end is connected to the adapter 13 fixed to the pallet 11, Gutter-shaped longitudinal opening 21
Cable duct main body 21 in which a is freely closed by lid 22
To the pallet 11 and insert the cable 12 through this opening 21a.
This is achieved by a method of fixing a cable to a pallet, characterized in that the opening 21a is closed by the lid 22 after the extra length portion 12c of the cable is housed in the cable duct body 21.

[0010]

In the method of fixing a cable to a pallet according to the present invention, the extra length portion 12c of the cable 12 is simply folded back into a zigzag shape and the opening portion of the cable duct main body 21 is kept as it is.
This opening 21a can be opened by the door after being housed inside it from 21a.
It is configured to close at 22.

Therefore, the method of fixing the cable to the pallet of the present invention simplifies the fixing of the cable 12 generated by the extra length portion 12c to the pallet 11 and enables the fixing in a short time. ..

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A method of fixing a cable to a pallet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a view for explaining a method of fixing a cable to a pallet according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1 (a), the plane of the pallet is the remaining space of a cable connecting an electronic device and an adapter. A plan view schematically showing a state in which the long part is fixed by a cable duct, and FIG. 6 (b) is a schematic view showing a state in which a cable which is connected to an electronic device and whose one end is open is fixed by a cable duct and an auxiliary cable duct. FIG. 3C is a plan view and FIG. 3C is a side view of essential parts schematically showing a state in which an electronic device is tested by a testing machine.

2A and 2B are views for explaining the cable duct. FIG. 2A is an enlarged front view and FIG. 2B is an enlarged side view. In the present specification, the same parts, the same materials and the like are designated by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), a method of fixing a cable to a pallet according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows. After fixing the gutter-shaped cable duct main body 21 that constitutes the duct 20 and then accommodating the extra length portion 12c of the cable 12 folded in a zigzag shape from the opening 21a of the cable duct main body 21 in the cable duct main body 21 , Lid 22 with opening 21
The cable 12 is configured to be fixed by closing a.

A gutter-shaped cable duct body made of a hard and elastic material, for example hard polyethylene
As shown in FIG. 2 (a), 21 is provided with a wedge-shaped recessed fitting portion 21 b outside the opening 21 a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a lid 22 made of the same hard polyethylene as the cable duct body 21 and having a shallow concave shape is fitted with wedges at the ends of the vertical portions 22a on both sides thereof. An attachment portion 22b is provided.

Therefore, after the lid 22 is placed on the cable duct main body 21 so that the opening 21a thereof is closed and the tip of the vertical portion 22a faces downward, the lid 22 is pressed against the cable duct main body 21. By elastically fitting the fitting portion 22b into the fitting portion 21b, the lid 22 is securely fixed to the cable duct body 21 as shown in FIG. 2 (a).

Further, by sliding the lid 22 in the direction of arrow L or arrow R as shown in FIG. 2 (b),
It can be easily removed from the cable duct body 22. A method of fixing a cable to a pallet according to an embodiment of the present invention is to fix the cable duct main body 21 configured as described above to the pallet 11 and to open the cable duct main body from the opening 21a.
Extra length 12 of cable 12 folded back into a zigzag shape inside 21
After accommodating c, the lid 22 can be fixed to the cable duct main body 21 with one touch, so that the cable with the extra length 12c
This makes it easy to fix the 12 to the pallet 11 and enables the fixing in a short time.

Further, in addition to the cable duct main body 21, another cable duct main body 21 'having the same structure as the cable duct main body 21 is fixed to the pallet 11 as shown in FIGS. 1 (c) and 2 (a). Then, after the cable 12 that has been disconnected from the electronic device 10 is housed in the cable duct main body 21 ', the opening 21'a of the cable duct main body 21' and the lid 22 that constitutes the cable duct 20 'are formed. If you block it with ', the tester
Pallet with electronic device 10 that has been tested by 15
Even if 11 is moved by the return conveyor 16 from the front side to the back side of the paper, the cable 12 does not get entangled with the fixed portion (not shown) of the return conveyor 16, etc.
It is possible to smoothly return 11 to the initial position.

[0021]

As described above, the present invention simplifies the fixing of the cable having the extra length portion to the pallet and enables the fixing in a short time.
