[0035] Example 1:

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown. Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the cable-driven power supply mechanism of this embodiment is disclosed. The cable-driven power supply mechanism includes a support frame 1, a primary winding reel 2, a secondary winding reel 3, a pulley block 4, a primary pull rope 5, a secondary pull rope 6, a power supply cable 7, a power supply cable bracket 8, a movable pulley frame 9, and a tension spring 10. The support frame 1 is a rectangular frame structure. The primary winding reel 2 and the secondary winding reel 3 are fixedly and spaced apart on the top of the support frame 1. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the primary winding reel 2 in this embodiment is disclosed. Figure 3A schematic diagram of the secondary winding reel 3 in this embodiment is disclosed. The primary winding reel 2 includes a first winding reel 2.1, a second winding reel 2.2, and a conductive slip ring 2.3, all coaxially connected. The secondary winding reel 3 includes a third winding reel 3.1 and a fourth winding reel 3.2, both coaxially connected. Specifically, the primary winding reel 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 1 via a first bearing seat 11, and the secondary winding reel 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 1 via a second bearing seat 12. The pulley block 4 includes at least one fixed pulley 4.1 and at least one movable pulley 4.2. The fixed pulley 4.1 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the support frame 1 and is located inside the support frame 1. The movable pulley 4.2 is fixedly mounted on a movable pulley frame 9 and is also located inside the support frame 1. The movable pulley frame 9 is located inside the support frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 1 via a tension spring 10. One end of the primary pull rope 5 is fixedly wound around the second winding reel 2.2, and the other end is fixedly wound around the third winding reel 3.1. One end of the secondary pull rope 6 is fixedly wound around the fourth reel 3.2, and the other end passes through the grooves of the fixed pulley 4.1 and the movable pulley 4.2 in sequence before being fixed to the upper part of the support frame 1. One end of the power supply cable 7 is fixedly wound around the first reel 2.1 and electrically connected to the conductive slip ring 2.3, and the other end is connected to the power supply cable bracket 8 and suspended above the ground. The support frame 1 is rotatably mounted on the electrical equipment 16 via the rotary support platform 15. The power supply cable bracket 8 is fixed to the ground or a wall. In some embodiments, the electrical equipment 16 is any one of an electric loader, electric excavator, electric forklift, electric flatcar, electric tunneling machine, electric drilling machine, electric rotary drilling rig, or electric bulldozer, and is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, both the primary pull rope 5 and the secondary pull rope 6 are flat strips or round ropes. The power supply cable 7 is a multi-core flat cable or a multi-core round cable.

[0037] The beneficial effects of the cable-driven power supply mechanism provided in this embodiment include at least the following: the power supply cable 7, after being suspended above the ground by the power supply cable bracket 8 and the support frame 1, supplies power to any electrical device 16, avoiding the damage that would occur if the power supply cable 7 were placed on the ground. Furthermore, suspending the power supply cable 7 expands the operating range of the electrical device 16 without being affected by it being placed on the ground. Taking an electric excavator as an example, if the power supply cable 7 is placed on the ground to supply power to the electric excavator, the excavator would need to avoid the power supply cable 7 laid on the ground during digging operations, which is inconvenient. In this embodiment, by simultaneously installing a primary reel 2 and a secondary reel 3 on the support frame 1, along with a pulley system 4 installed within the support frame 1, the transmission and automatic extension / retraction of the power supply cable 7 are achieved, facilitating the operation of the electrical device 16.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first reel 2.1, the second reel 2.2, and the conductive slip ring 2.3 are coaxially fixedly connected via the first connecting shaft 13. The first reel 2.1 and the second reel 2.2 are fixedly connected. The third reel 3.1 and the fourth reel 3.2 are coaxially fixedly connected via the second connecting shaft 14. The third reel 3.1 and the fourth reel 3.2 are fixedly connected. The first connecting shaft 13 is parallel to the second connecting shaft 14. Further, in this embodiment, there are two first bearing seats 11, which are respectively installed at both ends of the first connecting shaft 13. There are two second bearing seats 12, which are respectively installed at both ends of the second connecting shaft 14. The diameter of the first reel 2.1 is larger than the diameter of the second reel 2.2. The diameter of the third reel 3.1 is larger than the diameter of the fourth reel 3.2.

[0039] In some implementations, there are multiple fixed pulleys 4.1 and multiple movable pulleys 4.2. Multiple fixed pulleys 4.1 are simultaneously fixedly installed on the upper part of the support frame 1. Multiple movable pulleys 4.2 are simultaneously fixedly installed on the movable pulley frame 9 and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 1 via tension springs 10. Multiple fixed pulleys 4.1 and multiple movable pulleys 4.2 can effectively reduce the stress on the power supply cable 7, the primary pull rope 5, and the secondary pull rope 6. In this embodiment, the number of fixed pulleys 4.1 is two, three, four, or five, and is not limited here. Similarly, the number of movable pulleys 4.3 is two, three, four, or five, and is not limited here.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] In this embodiment, unlike Embodiment 1, the second winding spool 2.2 is replaced by the first gear, and the third winding spool 3.1 is replaced by the second gear. The first gear meshes with the second gear for transmission. The diameter of the first gear is smaller than the diameter of the second gear. This structural design effectively improves the transmission accuracy of the winding spools.

[0042] Example 3:

[0043] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the grooves of the multiple fixed pulleys 4.2 are arranged in a straight line. The grooves of the multiple movable pulleys 4.3 are also arranged in a straight line.

[0044] Example 4:

[0045] In this embodiment, unlike in embodiment 1, multiple fixed pulleys 4.1 are fixedly mounted on the upper part of the support frame 1 via any connecting shaft, and multiple movable pulleys 4.2 are fixedly mounted on the movable pulley frame 9 via another connecting shaft.

[0046] Example 5:

[0047] In this embodiment, unlike in embodiment 1, multiple fixed pulleys 4.1 are suspended from the upper part of the support frame 1 by ropes, and the grooves of multiple movable pulleys 4.2 are parallel to each other and are simultaneously fixedly installed on the same connecting shaft.

[0048] Example 6:

[0049] In this embodiment, unlike in embodiment 1, the pulley block 4 is removed, one end of the secondary pull rope 6 is fixedly wound on the fourth reel 3.2, and the other end is connected to the tension spring 10.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
