The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementations. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 9As shown, in this embodiment, a quick-release structure for a cable chain cover includes a first chain plate 1, a second chain plate 2, and a cover plate 3. The first end of the cover plate 3 is hinged to the first chain plate 1, and the second end of the cover plate 3 is detachably mounted to the second chain plate 2 via a quick-release mechanism. The quick-release mechanism includes a sliding member 4, a locking member 5, and a limiting component. The sliding member 4 is slidably mounted on the cover plate 3 along its length. The locking member 5 is disposed on the sliding member 4. A locking groove 20 is provided on the inner sidewall of the second chain plate 2 corresponding to the locking member 5. The limiting component is configured to position the sliding member 4 in a first position or a second position.

[0032] When the sliding member 4 is in the first position, the locking member 5 extends out of the end of the cover plate 3 and inserts into the locking groove 20 to lock the second end of the cover plate 3 onto the second chain plate 2.

[0033] When the sliding member 4 is in the second position, the end of the locking member 5 disengages from the locking groove 20 to release the second end of the cover plate 3 from the second chain plate 2.

[0034] It should be noted that: cover plate 3 can be either the upper or lower cover plate of a unit link of the cable chain, and cover plate 3 can also be either a closed or open cover plate of a unit link of the cable chain.

[0035] As can be seen, by hinged the first end of the cover plate 3 to the first chain plate 1, and providing a sliding member 4 and a locking member 5 at the second end, during installation, the first end of the cover plate 3 is first hinged to the first chain plate 1, and the cover plate 3 is flipped downwards to a preset angle around the first end. Then, the sliding member 4 is pushed closer to the second chain plate 2, so that the locking member 5 is inserted into the locking groove 20 on the second chain plate 2. At this time, the limiting component fixes the locking member 5 in the first position, thereby achieving quick installation of the cover plate 3. During disassembly, the sliding member 4 is first pushed away from the second chain plate 2, so that the locking member 5 is disengaged from the locking groove 20 on the second chain plate 2. At this time, the limiting component fixes the locking member 5 in the second position, thereby unlocking the second end of the cover plate 3. Then, the cover plate 3 is flipped upwards around the first end to open the cover plate 3, facilitating the placement of wires or tubular parts. While ensuring the reliability of the connection between the cover plate 3 and the first chain plate 1 and the second chain plate 2, the efficiency of cover plate assembly and disassembly is greatly improved, and the operation is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving.

[0036] As an optional implementation, the first chain plate 1 has an assembly groove 10 for mounting the cover plate 3. A hinge shaft 11 is provided in the assembly groove 10. The first end of the cover plate 3 has an open hinge groove 30. The first end of the cover plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the hinge shaft 11 through the hinge groove 30. The hinge shaft 11 and the hinge groove 30 are tightly fitted so that the cover plate 3 can be fixed at any angle during the flipping process.

[0037] As another alternative implementation, a hinge groove with an opening can be provided on the first chain plate 1, and a hinge shaft can be provided at the first end of the cover plate 2. The first end of the cover plate is rotatably installed in the hinge groove via the hinge shaft. The hinge shaft and the hinge groove are tightly fitted so that the cover plate 3 can be fixed at any angle during the flipping process.

[0038] As can be seen, the hinge connection between the cover plate 3 and the first chain plate 1 is achieved through the cooperation of the hinge shaft 11 and the hinge groove 30, providing a simple and easy-to-implement hinge connection method.

[0039] As an optional implementation, a square limiting head 31 is provided at the second end of the cover plate 3. A square limiting groove 21 is provided on the second chain plate 2 in conjunction with the limiting head 31. A square positioning boss 22 is provided in the limiting groove 21. A square positioning hole 32 is provided on the limiting head 31 in conjunction with the positioning boss 22. A locking groove 20 is provided on the inner side of the positioning boss 22.

[0040] As can be seen, by the cooperation of the limiting head 31 and the limiting groove 21, the end of the cover plate 3 can be completely embedded into the second chain plate 2. At the same time, the setting of the positioning boss 22 and the positioning hole 32 can ensure the accuracy of the installation position of the cover plate 3 and the reliability of the connection, so as to realize the stable and reliable connection of the end of the cover plate 3 to the second chain plate 2.

[0041] As an optional implementation, both ends of the cover plate 3 are provided with sliding grooves 33 extending along the length direction of the cover plate 3. The sliding grooves 33 are also provided with inner grooves 34. The sliding member 4 can be slidably assembled in the sliding grooves 33. The length of the sliding grooves 33 is greater than the length of the sliding member 4. The bottom of the inner groove 34 is provided with a through hole 35 penetrating the end of the cover plate 3. The through hole 35 is connected to the positioning hole 32. The locking member 5 passes through the through hole 35 and is inserted into the locking groove 20. Preferably, the through hole 35 is a square hole, and the end of the locking member 5 that passes through the through hole 35 is also a square structure.

[0042] As can be seen, by setting the slide groove 33, the sliding member 4 is assembled in the slide groove 33, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the sliding member 4. The length of the slide groove 33 is greater than the length of the sliding member 4 so that the sliding member 4 can be in the first position and the second position. The inner groove 34 is used to provide assembly space for the locking member 5 and the limiting component. The through hole 35 and the locking member 5 are set as a square structure that cooperates with each other. When the locking member 5 passes through the through hole 35, the through hole 35 also has a guiding and limiting effect on the locking member 5 to ensure the stability and reliability of the sliding of the locking member 5.

[0043] As an optional implementation, the limiting component includes a limiting boss 6 and two elastic claws 7. One end of the two elastic claws 7 is connected to the slider 4, and the other end is brought together to form an elastic latch 70. The limiting boss 6 is disposed at the bottom of the slide groove 33. The opening width of the elastic latch 70 is smaller than the width of the limiting boss 6. When the slider 4 is in the first position, the side of the limiting boss 6 near the second end of the cover plate 3 positions the slider 4. When the cover plate 3 is removed, the slider 4 is pushed to slide towards the center of the cover plate 3. The elastic latch 70 is subjected to greater force and passes over the limiting boss 6. At this time, the side of the limiting boss 6 away from the second end of the cover plate 3 positions the slider 4 to position the slider 4 in the second position.

[0044] As can be seen, by cooperating with the two ends of the limiting boss 6 and the elastic latch 70, the sliding member 4 is relatively fixed in the first position or the second position, providing a simple, reliable and stable limiting component.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the limiting boss 6 is symmetrically provided with two first positioning slopes 60 and two second positioning slopes 61. The elastic latch 70 is provided with two third positioning slopes 71 and two fourth positioning slopes 72 on both sides. When the sliding member 4 is in the first position, the two first positioning slopes 60 and the two third positioning slopes 71 are tightly fitted together to position the sliding member 4. When the cover plate 3 is removed, the sliding member 4 is pushed to slide towards the center of the cover plate 3. The elastic latch 70 is subjected to greater force and returns to its original position after passing over the two first positioning slopes 60. The two second positioning slopes 61 and the two fourth positioning slopes 72 are tightly fitted together to position the sliding member 4 in the second position.

[0046] It is evident that the cooperation between the limiting boss 6 and the positioning inclined surface on the elastic latch 70 further improves the stability and reliability of the positioning of the sliding part 4.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the sliding member 4, the locking member 5, and the two elastic claws 7 are integrally injection molded. The locking member 5 is located below the sliding member 4, and one end of each of the two elastic claws 7 is connected to the locking member 5. The locking member 5 is connected to the sliding member 4 via a connecting part 8. The connecting part 8 is eccentrically located on the sliding member 4 and is positioned on one side near the second end of the cover plate 3. The locking member 5 includes a locking head 50 and a connecting plate 51. The locking head 50 is connected to the connecting part 8 via the connecting plate 51 and is located at the head end of the connecting plate 51. A limiting block 52 extending between the two elastic claws 7 is provided at the tail end of the connecting plate 51. The thickness of the locking head 50 is greater than the thickness of the connecting plate 51.

[0048] It is evident that by integrating the slider 4, locking member 5, and two elastic claws 7 into a single structure, a sliding assembly that is easy to manufacture and low in cost is provided. Of course, depending on actual needs, the slider 4, locking member 5, and two elastic claws 7 can also be arranged as separate components that can be disassembled. By eccentrically positioning the connecting portion 8 and setting the thickness of the connecting plate 51 to be less than the thickness of the locking head 50, the junction between the connecting plate 51 and the locking head 50 is made more easily deformable, thus facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the slider 4. Simultaneously, the limiting block 52 can limit the slider 4 from the outside when it is in the second position, further improving the stability and reliability of the slider 4's positioning.

[0049] When installing the slider 4, first align the locking head 50 with the through hole 35 and insert it, then push the entire slider 4 outward into the slide groove 33.

[0050] When disassembling the sliding member 4, since the sliding member 4 is located in the first position, there is a gap 8 between the inner side of the slide groove 33 and the sliding member 4 to facilitate operation. The inner end of the sliding member 4 is lifted upward, so that the connecting plate 51 and the locking head 50 are deformed. Finally, the entire sliding member 4 can be pulled out from the slide groove 33.

[0051] The specific disassembly and assembly process of the quick-release structure of the aforementioned cable chain cover is as follows:

[0052] During installation:

[0053] S1, firstly, install the first end of the cover plate 3 onto the hinge shaft 11 on the first chain plate 1 through the hinge groove 30.

[0054] S2, flip the cover plate 3 downwards around the hinge shaft 11 to a horizontal state. At this time, the first end of the cover plate 3 is positioned by the cooperation of the positioning boss 22 and the positioning hole 32, so that the locking head 50 corresponds to the locking groove 20 on the second chain plate 2.

[0055] S3, push the sliding member 4 at the second end of the cover plate 3 to the first position for positioning. At this time, the locking head 50 on the sliding member 4 is inserted into the locking groove 20 on the second chain plate 2 to fix the second end of the cover plate 3 on the second chain plate 2, thus completing the installation of one cover plate.

[0056] When disassembled:

[0057] S1, In the initial state, the sliding member 4 at the second end of the cover plate 3 is in the first position. Push the sliding member 4 at the second end of the cover plate 3 to the second position for positioning. At this time, the locking head 50 on the sliding member 4 disengages from the locking groove 20 on the second chain plate 2 so that the second end of the cover plate 3 is unlocked from the second chain plate 2.

[0058] S2, operate the second end of the cover plate 3 to make the cover plate 3 rotate upward around the hinge shaft 11 to a preset angle so that the channel of the cable chain is opened, thus completing the disassembly of one cover plate.

[0059] A cable chain includes several unit links that are rotatably connected together. Each unit link includes a first chain plate, a second chain plate, an upper cover plate, and a lower cover plate, wherein the upper cover plate and / or the lower cover plate are mounted on the first chain plate and the second chain plate via a quick-release structure of the cable chain cover plate.

[0060] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above examples. Various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
