Description

Cable structure

The invention relates to a cable management structure, in particular to a cable management structure for adjusting the position of the clamp.

In today's various devices, it is expected to achieve maximum workload in a limited space. For example, in a servo cabinet, users expect to have a larger number of servers in a limited space to provide more computing functions. Therefore, in the body of the device, there are often many connection lines for power supply and signal transmission between various components inside and outside the machine. However, as the workload of the device increases, the number of lines will increase. Therefore, it is necessary to organize the lines by the cable management structure to avoid circuit confusion.

In the current body, components are often installed in a drawer type, and the lines are arranged on a wire structure such as a link arm. When it is necessary to add, remove or replace components in the body, the user will withdraw the components from the body, and the link arm is pulled from the bent state to the stretched state, so as to maintain the connection state of the line. The component is processed. However, the link arm occupies a lot of space whether it is in a bent state or a stretched state, thereby wasting space in the body. However, if the cable management structure is installed outside the body, the cable management structure will block the path of the component from the body, so that the component cannot be exchanged from the body.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a cable management structure in which the components are allowed to enter and exit the body without interference with the cable management structure by the movement of the tray.

The invention discloses a cable management structure for mounting on a body and arranging one line of the body. The body has an assembly opening. The assembly opening is configured to allow at least one component to enter the body and exterior of the body along at least one mounting path. The cable management structure includes a body, at least one tray and at least one cable clamp. The seat body is mounted on the assembly opening of the body. At least one tray is movably disposed on the base body and has a first position and a second position relative to the base body. At least one tray blocks at least one mounting path when at least one tray is in the first position. At least one tray is remote from the at least one mounting path when the at least one tray is in the second position. At least one cable clamp is disposed on at least one tray and is used for finishing the line.

According to the cable management structure of the present invention, the tray can be switched between the first position and the second position by the movement of the tray. When the component needs to be replaced, the user can move the tray to the second position so that the component can enter and exit the body along the mounting path. Therefore, even if the body is filled with various components, the cable management structure does not affect the mounting and dismounting of the components.

The above description of the present invention and the following description of the embodiments of the present invention are intended to illustrate and explain the spirit and principles of the invention.

At this time, the upper tray 121 is away from the first mounting path P1, so that the first member 21 can enter and exit the inside and outside of the body 2 along the first mounting path P1.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the user can rotate the upper engaging member 141 to the unlocking position, and then use the upper handle 1211 to rotate the upper tray 121 to the upper second position, so that the upper engaging member 141 is stuck. The engaging projection 1411 is inserted into the second engaging portion 1102a above the seat body 11. At this time, the upper tray 121 is away from the second mounting path P2, so that the second member 22 can enter and exit the inside and outside of the body 2 along the second mounting path P2.

As shown in FIG. 5C, the user can pass the finger through the through hole 1221a of the handle 1221 of the lower tray 122, and pull the pull ring portion 1422 of the lower engaging member 142 to rotate the lower engaging member 142 to unlock. The position is such that the engagement protrusion 1421 of the lower engaging member 142 is released from the engagement with the lower first engaging portion 1101b. The lower tray 122 is then rotated to the second position by the lower handle 1221. At this time, the lower engaging member 142 can be suspended from the seat body 11 without being engaged with other components. The lower tray 122 is away from the third mounting path P3, so that the third member 23 can enter the inside and outside of the body 2 along the third mounting path P3.

In summary, the cable management structure of the present invention enables the tray to be switched between the first position and the second position by the movement of the tray. When you need to pump When the component is changed, the user can move the tray to the second position so that the component can enter and exit the body along the mounting path. Therefore, even if the body is filled with various components, the cable management structure does not affect the mounting and dismounting of the components.
