[0064] In the first state, of the two connected links 1, the first abutting portion 1123 of one can abut against the fifth abutting portion 1223 of the other, and the first convex portion 1121 of one can abut against the side wall of the second groove 1221 of the other away from the first abutting portion 1123, and the third abutting portion 1125 of one can abut against the seventh abutting portion 1225 of the other, and the second convex portion 1222 of one can abut against the side wall of the first groove 1122 of the other away from the third abutting portion 1125. In this way, the two connected links 1 can have four force points in the first state, which increases the number of force points compared to the prior art, thereby improving the load capacity of the drag chain.

[0066] Optionally, the first abutting portion 1123 is in surface contact with the fifth abutting portion 1223. Further, the first convex portion 1121 is in surface contact with the side wall of the second groove 1221 away from the first abutting portion 1123. Further, the third abutting portion 1125 is in surface contact with the seventh abutting portion 1225. Further, the second convex portion 1222 is in surface contact with the side wall of the first groove 1122 away from the third abutting portion 1125.

Further, the second convex portion 1222 is in surface contact with the side wall of the first groove 1122 away from the fourth abutting portion 1126. The stress points adopt the form of surface contact, which can further improve the stress strength and has the effect of further improving the load capacity of the drag chain.

[0067] Optionally, the chain link 1 includes two side plates 1a and a connecting plate 1b connected between the two side plates 1a, and the two side plates 1a are symmetrically arranged relative to the connecting plate 1b; the two ends of the side plates 1a are respectively provided with a first supporting unit 112 and a second supporting unit 122. In other words, one end of each side plate 1a is provided with a first supporting unit 112, and the other end is provided with a second supporting unit 122, so that when the two connected chain links 1 swing, the force is more uniform, and the movement is smoother and more stable.

[0068] It should be noted that, in the same link 1, along the third direction, for one of the side plates 1a and the structure on the side plate 1a, the side close to the other side plate 1a is the inner side, and the side away from the other side plate 1a is the outer side; the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

[0069] Optionally, along the third direction, the second groove 1221 is located outside the second convex portion 1222, and the second groove 1221 has an external opening 12211 facing the third direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second groove 1221 is a U-shaped groove provided on the outside of the side plate 1a, and the U-shaped groove has the external opening 12211 in addition to the U-shaped opening facing the first direction, and the first convex portion 1121 of one of the two connected chain links 1 extends into the U-shaped groove from the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped groove. Furthermore, the two end surfaces of the U-shaped opening end of the U-shaped groove are the fifth abutting portion 1223 and the sixth abutting portion 1224.

[0070] Furthermore, an outer baffle plate 1c is provided on the outer side of the side plate 1a along the third direction. The outer baffle plate 1c of one of the two connected chain links 1 can close the outer opening 12211 of the other second groove 1221, thereby preventing dust and other debris from entering the second groove 1221 from the outer opening 12211 and affecting the cooperation between the first protrusion 1121 and the second groove 1221.

[0071] Optionally, the outer baffle plate 1c is provided with a first arc-shaped protrusion 1c1 at one end along the first direction, and a first arc-shaped groove 1c2 adapted to the first arc-shaped protrusion 1c1 at the other end; the arc-shaped first protrusion 1c1c1 of one of the two connected links 1 can extend into the first arc-shaped groove 1c2 of the other. Preferably, along the first direction, there is only a small gap between the first arc-shaped protrusion 1c1 of one of the two connected links 1 and the first arc-shaped groove 1c2 of the other, so as to ensure that the two connected links 1 can swing smoothly relative to each other, and improve the sealing effect of the outer baffle plate 1c on the second groove 1221, thereby improving the aesthetics of the high-load drag chain.

[0072] Optionally, along the third direction, the first groove 1122 is located inside the first convex portion 1121, and the first groove 1122 has an inner opening 11221 along the third direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first groove 1122 is a U-shaped groove provided inside the side plate 1a, and the U-shaped groove has not only a U-shaped opening facing the first direction, but also the inner opening 11221, and the second convex portion 1222 of one of the two connected links 1 extends into the U-shaped groove from the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped groove. Furthermore, the two end surfaces of the U-shaped opening end of the U-shaped groove are the third abutting portion 1125 and the fourth abutting portion 1126.

[0073] Furthermore, an inner baffle plate 1d is provided on the inner side of the side plate 1a along the third direction. The inner baffle plate 1d of one of the two connected chain links 1 can close the inner opening 11221 of the other first groove 1122, thereby preventing dust and other debris from entering the first groove 1122 from the inner opening 11221 and affecting the cooperation between the second protrusion 1222 and the first groove 1122.

[0074] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in order to avoid excessive increase in the thickness of the side panel 1a, the thickness of the second protrusion 1222 along the third direction can be reduced to compensate for the thickness of the inner baffle plate 1d along the third direction. In other words, compared with the drag chain without the inner baffle plate 1d, the second protrusion 1222 of the drag chain with the inner baffle plate 1d has a smaller thickness along the third direction and weaker strength, but it can still ensure that the load capacity of the drag chain meets user needs.

[0075] Optionally, the inner baffle plate 1d is provided with a second arc-shaped protrusion 1d1 at one end along the first direction, and a second arc-shaped groove 1d2 adapted to the second arc-shaped protrusion 1d1 at the other end; the second arc-shaped protrusion 1d1 of one of the two connected links 1 can extend into the second arc-shaped groove 1d2 of the other. Preferably, along the first direction, there is only a small gap between the second arc-shaped protrusion 1d1 of one of the two connected links 1 and the second arc-shaped groove 1d2 of the other, so as to ensure that the two connected links 1 can swing relatively smoothly and improve the sealing effect of the inner baffle plate 1d on the first groove 1122.

[0076] In this embodiment, in the same chain link 1, the first arc-shaped convex portion 1c1 and the first convex portion 1121 are both located at the first end 11 of the chain link 1, and at the first end 11, the first arc-shaped convex portion 1c1 is flush with the first convex portion 1121, so as to avoid interference with the relative rotation of the two connected chain links 1, and to be more aesthetically pleasing. Further, in the same chain link 1, the second arc-shaped convex portion 1d1 and the second convex portion 1222 are both located at the second end 12 of the chain link 1, and at the second end 12, the second arc-shaped convex portion 1d1 is flush with the second convex portion 1222, so as to avoid interference with the relative rotation of the two connected chain links 1, and to be more aesthetically pleasing.

[0077] Optionally, connecting plates 1b are provided on both sides of the side plate 1a along the second direction, which can increase the strength and stability of the link 1 on the one hand, and on the other hand, the connecting plates 1b on both sides of the side plate 1a can limit and support structures such as cables or pipelines placed in the drag chain.

[0078] Optionally, along the first direction, the length of the connecting plate 1b is less than the length of the side plate 1a, so that a gap can be formed between the connecting plates 1b of two connected links 1, which is beneficial for heat dissipation of cables or pipes in the drag chain and meets the needs of different users.

[0079] Optionally, the link 1 also includes a plurality of packaging plates arranged side by side with the connecting plate 1b along the first direction, and the packaging plates are detachably connected to the side plates 1a, so that the sealing of the link 1 can be improved by the packaging plates, thereby further preventing dust and other debris from entering the interior of the drag chain, thereby improving the protection of the drag chain on structures such as cables or pipelines.
