FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a cable protection device of the present disclosure. In the embodiment, the cable protection device 10 is applied to an outdoor device 1. The outdoor device 1 comprises a first part 11 and a second part 12. The first part 11 is connected to the second part 12 through a first rotating shaft 13, so that the first part 11 and the second part 12 can be unfolded or folded through the first rotating shaft 13. The outdoor device 1 also includes a cable (not shown in the FIG. 1), which is connected to the first part 11 and the second part 12. In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, a rotation angle range of the first part 11 and the second part 12 rotated by the first rotating shaft 13 is 0-90 degrees.

In the embodiment, cable protection device 10 comprises a cable protection structure 101, set as a laminated structure. A first surface of the cable protection structure 101 is fixed to the first part, a second surface of the cable protection structure 10 is fixed to the second part, and the cable is sealed and surrounded by the cable protection structure 10. When the first part 11 and the second part 12 are unfolded or folded by the first rotating shaft 13, the cable protection structure 101 expands or closes.

In the embodiment, the cable protection structure 101 comprises a first fixing part 1011, a second fixing part 1012 and multiple rotating movable parts 1013. Both the first fixing part 1011 and the second fixing part 1012 are in a shape of Π. The first fixing part 1011 is fixed to the first part 11 by screws, and the second fixing part 1012 is fixed to the second part 12 by screws. The multiple rotating movable parts 13 are connected between the first fixing part 1011 and the second fixing part 1012. Each rotating movable part is in a shape of Π. A first end of the each rotating movable part 1013, a first end of the first fixing part 1011 and a first end of the second fixing part 1012 are sequentially connected by a second rotating shaft, and a second end of the each rotating movable part, a second end of the first fixing part 1011, and a second end of the second fixing part 1012 are sequentially connected by a third rotating shaft. When the first part 11 and the second part 12 are unfolded by the first rotating shaft 13, the multiple rotating movable parts 13 are unfolded to form a closed accommodating space for accommodating the cable. In the embodiment, the rotating shaft of the cable protection device 10 is coaxial with the rotating shaft of the outdoor device 1, so that the multiple rotating movable parts 1013 of the cable protection device 10 can be unfolded or folded with the first part 11 and the second part 12. The number of the rotating movable parts 1013 is related to the height of the cable protection device 10 after closing, and the number of the rotating movable parts 1013 can be reduced when the height is large.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of another embodiment of the cable protection device of the present disclosure. In the embodiment, the second fixing part 1012 further comprises an n-type structure N. The n-type structure N is fixed on the second fixing part and configured to fix the cable 100 to keep the cable 100 in a bent state. Also referring to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of the n-type structure used for fixing the cable. As shown in FIG. 3, when the second fixing part 1012 is fixed to the second part 12, the n-type structure N fixes the cable 100, so that the cable 100 is kept in the bent state. In order to show the working state of the n-type structure N more clearly, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the first fixing part 1011 not being fixed to the first part 11.

Referring to FIG. 4-5 together, FIG. 4 is a structural diagram of multiple rotating moving parts of the present disclosure, and FIG. 5 is a side view of the cable protection structure of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, each rotating movable part 1013 is composed of a first pillar A, a second pillar B and a plate surface C. The first pillar A is connected to a first side of the plate surface C, and the second pillar B is connected to a second side of the plate surface C. In the embodiment, the plate surface C is in a shape of S, comprising: a section C1, a first card C2 and a second card C3. A first side of the section C1 is connected to the first pillar A, and a second side of the section C1 is connected to the second pillar B. The first card C2 is connected to a third side of the section C1 and the second card C3 is connected to a fourth side of the section C1. An extension direction of the first card C2 is opposite to an extension direction of the second card C3. Both the first pillar A and the second pillar B comprise a bridge structure d, and the bridge structure d is configured to push the multiple rotating movable parts 1013 to rotate together, and further configured to prevent a dislocation of adjacent rotating moving parts 1013. The first pillar A and the second pillar B also comprise a notch structure f for giving way to the bridge structure d when the multiple rotating moving parts 1013 are folded.
