Cable positioning device and charger using same
A cable positioning device and a charger using the cable positioning device is disclosed to include a cable positioning device mounted in a mounting structure inside the charger to secure a cable. The cable positioning device includes a polygonal column that can be forced by an external pressure to deform non-elastically and to further tightly fit the cable, having at least one surface thereof abutted against an inner wall of the mounting structure in the axial direction of the cable to prevent displacement of the cable positioning device and the internal electric wires of the cable due to accidental twisting of the external part of the cable, improving the cable installation efficiency.
1. A cable positioning device for securing a cable in a mounting structure, characterized in that the cable positioning device comprising a column having a polygonal cross section, a passage defined within said column for the insertion of said cable, said column being forcible by an external force to deform non-elastically and to further tightly fit said cable, said column comprising at least one peripheral surface abutted against an inner wall of said mounting structure,
wherein said column has one end thereof extending outwards to form an abutment portion, the area surrounded by the border edge of said abutment portion being larger than the cross-sectional area of said column.
2. The cable positioning device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said column is a quadrilateral column.
3. The cable positioning device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said column is a hexagonal column.
4. The cable positioning device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said column is made of aluminum.
5. A charger, comprising a connector body, a grip connected to said connector body, a mounting structure formed integrally in said connector body, and a cable inserted through said grip, characterized in that the charger further comprises a cable positioning device as claimed in claim 1 , said cable positioning device being mounted in said mounting structure to tightly fit said cable.
6. The charger as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said column is a quadrilateral column.
7. The charger as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said column is a hexagonal column.
8. The charger as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said column is made of aluminum.
