[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0056] It should be noted that the directional words such as "upper end, lower end, left side, right side" described below are all defined based on the drawings in the specification.

[0057] Please refer to FIG. 1 , the load balancing device provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a load balancer 10 and a load balancer installation component for installing the load balancer 10 .

[0058] The top wall of the load balancer 10 is provided with evenly distributed heat dissipation slots 11 for dissipating heat when the load balancer 10 is working.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 2 and 3 together. The load balancer installation assembly includes a support frame 20, which includes a telescopic arm frame 21 and a plurality of frames 22. The frames 22 are spaced apart in sequence along the first direction, and the frames 22 are evenly distributed along the first direction. The frames 22 are used to support the load balancer 10; the telescopic arm frame 21 is connected to the frames 22, and the telescopic arm frame 21 is an arm frame with adjustable length.

[0060] It should be noted that the first direction may be the X-axis direction as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , or the length direction of the load balancer 10 .

[0061] Specifically, the telescopic arm 21 includes a plurality of telescopic sections connected in sequence, the telescopic sections are arranged in sequence along a first direction, and a frame 22 is provided at the connection between two adjacent telescopic sections. By extending and retracting the telescopic sections, the distance between any two adjacent frames 22 is adjusted so that the frame 22 supports load balancers 10 of different sizes.

[0062] It can be seen that since a frame 22 is provided at the connection between two adjacent telescopic sections, as the telescopic arm 21 extends and contracts, each frame 22 is configured to be able to follow the extension movement of the telescopic arm 21 to increase the spacing, and follow the contraction movement of the telescopic arm 21 to reduce the spacing.

[0063] Such arrangement has the following beneficial effects: through the design of the telescopic arm 21 and the frame body 22, as the telescopic arm 21 extends and contracts, each frame body 22 is configured to be able to follow the extension movement of the telescopic arm 21 to increase the spacing, and follow the contraction movement of the telescopic arm 21 to reduce the spacing, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the size of the support frame 20, thereby facilitating the support frame 20 to adapt to load balancers 10 of different lengths, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the support frame 20.

[0064] In this way, the user can easily adjust the spacing between the frames 22 according to the actual size of the load balancer 10, and the spacing between any two adjacent frames 22 can be adjusted synchronously to achieve rapid installation and deployment of the corresponding load balancer 10, solving the technical problem that the shell of the traditional distributed load balancing device can only be designed individually according to the load balancer 10 that needs to be used, resulting in poor compatibility of the shell.

[0065] Please refer to FIG. 4 , the telescopic arm frame 21 includes a plurality of fixed rods 211, which are connected to the frame body 22 one by one, and two rotating rod assemblies 212 are rotatably arranged between any two adjacent fixed rods 211, and the two rotating rod assemblies 212 and the two corresponding fixed rods 211 are combined to form a telescopic section. The telescopic section is specifically a diamond frame structure.

[0066] In this way, each frame 22 is connected to each fixed rod 211 of the telescopic arm 21 one by one along the length direction of the load balancer 10. As the telescopic joint is extended or contracted, each frame 22 can move with the corresponding fixed rod 211, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the distance between each frame 22.

[0067] For example, as each telescopic joint is extended and deformed, each frame body 22 can follow the movement of the corresponding fixed rod 211 to increase the distance between each other, so that the support frame 20 can adapt to a larger load balancer 10; as each telescopic joint is contracted and deformed, each frame body 22 can follow the movement of the corresponding fixed rod 211 to reduce the distance between each other, so that the support frame 20 can adapt to a smaller load balancer 10.

[0068] In some embodiments, the number of frames 22 is set to n (n ranges from 5 to 10), and accordingly, the number of fixed rods 211 of the telescopic arm frame 21 is also set to n (n ranges from 5 to 10), and the number of fixed rods 211 of the telescopic arm frame 21 is the same as the number of frames 22. Since two rotating rod assemblies 212 and two corresponding fixed rods 211 are combined to form a telescopic section, n-1 telescopic sections can be formed.

[0069] In this way, each frame 22 is respectively connected to each fixed rod 211. When the spacing between each frame 22 is adjusted to the maximum limit, the dimension of the entire support frame 20 along the length direction can adapt to the maximum size / model of the load balancer 10. When the spacing between each frame 22 is adjusted to the minimum limit, the dimension of the entire support frame 20 along the length direction can also adapt to the minimum size / model of the load balancer 10.

[0070] On the one hand, the telescopic joint structure provides a high degree of flexibility and scalability, and the spacing between each frame 22 can be easily adjusted to accommodate load balancers 10 of different lengths. This design allows quick adjustment without replacing the entire support frame 20, thereby saving time and cost. On the other hand, the telescopic joint structure itself has good stability and can provide solid support to ensure the stability and safety of the load balancer 10 during use.

[0071] In some embodiments, the rotating rod assembly 212 includes a pin 2121 and two rotating rod bodies 2122, and the two rotating rod bodies 2122 are rotatably connected to the pin 2121. Specifically, the ends of the two rotating rod bodies 2122 that are close to each other are hinged through the pin 2121, so that the two rotating rod bodies 2122 can rotate relative to the pin 2121, thereby adjusting the angle between the two rotating rod bodies 2122.

[0072] When the included angle between the two rotating rod bodies 2122 increases, it means that the telescopic arm 21 has performed an extension movement, and when the included angle between the two rotating rod bodies 2122 decreases, it means that the telescopic arm 21 has performed a contraction movement.

[0073] In this way, the telescopic joint structure can be composed of standardized components. This arrangement makes the maintenance and replacement of parts of the telescopic arm 21 more convenient, which helps to reduce maintenance costs.

[0074] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between any two adjacent frames 22 so that each frame 22 can adapt to the corresponding load balancer 10, a telescopic drive mechanism, such as a hydraulic cylinder, can also be set at the bottom of the telescopic arm 21. The fixed end of the telescopic drive mechanism is connected to the fixed rod 211 at one end of the telescopic arm 21, and the telescopic end of the telescopic drive mechanism is connected to the fixed rod 211 at the other end of the telescopic arm 21. In this way, the telescopic arm 21 can be extended and contracted through the telescopic movement of the telescopic drive mechanism, so that the distance between any two adjacent frames 22 can be adjusted so that each frame 22 can adapt to the corresponding load balancer 10.

[0075] In addition, a remote control module may be provided, which is connected to the telescopic drive mechanism in communication, and the remote control module may be a handheld remote control, through which the spacing between the frames 22 may be adjusted according to the actual size of the load balancer 10. For example, the remote control module may be provided with adjustment buttons of different gears, and through different adjustment buttons, the extension distance of the telescopic drive mechanism corresponding to different gears may be controlled, so that each frame 22 is adapted to load balancers 10 of different sizes.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6 together. In order to fix the positions of the fixing rods 211 of the telescopic arm 21 after adjusting the spacing between the fixing rods 211, positioning knobs 213 are provided on the fixing rods 211 at both ends of the telescopic arm 21. The positioning knobs 213 are screwed to the fixing rods 211 at the ends of the telescopic arm 21 through threads.

[0077] Specifically, the positioning knob 213 is provided with an internal threaded hole, and the corresponding fixing rod 211 is provided with an external thread. The positioning knob 213 is threadedly connected to the corresponding fixing rod 211. The positioning knob 213 is used to contact and abut against the corresponding rotating rod body 2122 to fix the angle of the corresponding rotating rod body 2122. In this way, the rotating rod bodies 2122 at both ends of the telescopic arm 21 cannot be further expanded or contracted, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the position of each fixed rod 211 after adjusting the spacing between the fixed rods 211 of the telescopic arm 21.

[0078] In some embodiments, photoelectric sensors are disposed on the upper surfaces of the two outermost frames 22 , and the photoelectric sensors are communicatively connected to a controller, and the controller can control the overall length of the support frame 20 according to the signals transmitted by the photoelectric sensors. Specifically, when the frame 22 is in a retracted state and the load balancer 10 is placed on the frame 22, the two ends of the load balancer 10 are suspended compared to the frame 22. At this time, the photoelectric sensor is blocked by the load balancer 10. That is, when the controller determines that the frame 22 is in a retracted state and the photoelectric sensor is blocked by the load balancer 10, it is necessary to use the controller to control the frame 22 to increase the spacing, that is, the controller controls the telescopic joint to extend the telescopic joint, that is, the spacing of the frame 22 becomes larger. In the process of increasing the spacing of the frame 22, the photoelectric sensor on the outermost frame 22 should always be blocked by the load balancer 10. Once the photoelectric sensor exceeds the bottom edge of the load balancer 10, it indicates that the length of the frame 22 is too long. The controller will control the frame 22 to retract so that the photoelectric sensor is in a position blocked by the load balancer 10, so that the load balancer 10 can be better supported.

[0079] When the frame 22 is in the unfolded state and the load balancer 10 is placed on the frame 22, the coverage area of ​​the frame 22 is larger than the bottom area of ​​the load balancer 10, that is, when the controller determines that the frame 22 is in the unfolded state and the photoelectric sensor is not blocked by the load balancer 10, the controller needs to be used to control the frame 22 to reduce the spacing, that is, the controller controls the telescopic joint to shrink the telescopic joint until the photoelectric sensors on the two outermost frames 22 are blocked by the load balancer 10. At this time, the spacing of the frame 22 is adjusted to a certain extent to better support the load balancer 10. In this way, the photoelectric sensor can be used to adjust the overall length of the support frame 20 so that the overall length of the support frame 20 can better adapt to the load balancer 10. Of course, before the controller controls the telescopic joint, it is necessary to judge whether the current frame 22 is in the retracted state or the unfolded state, so as to control the extension or contraction of the telescopic joint later.

[0080] In addition, the telescopic length of each telescopic section can be independently adjusted, so that different numbers of frames 22 can be set at different supporting positions to meet the support stability of the load balancer 10. Specifically, a weight sensor is set on each frame 22, and the weight sensor is connected to the controller for communication. Since the weight of different positions of the load balancer 10 is different, the controller can adjust the telescopic length of each telescopic section individually through the feedback of the weight sensors at different supporting positions, so that the frames 22 can be arranged more closely in places where the load balancer 10 is heavier, so as to ensure the support stability of the load balancer 10.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 7 as well. The load balancer installation assembly also includes a cable protection mechanism 30, which is detachably connected to the frame 22. The cable protection mechanism 30 includes a cable protection plate 31 and a plurality of cable protection components 32 arranged on the cable protection plate 31. The cable protection components 32 are used to fix and protect the cable body connected to the interface of the load balancer 10.

[0082] Please refer to Figures 8 and 9 together. The cable protection assembly 32 includes a fixed sleeve 321, a sliding sleeve 322, a reset elastic member 323 and a plurality of rotating plates 324. The fixed sleeve 321 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cable protection plate 31, the sliding sleeve 322 is slidably connected to the fixed sleeve 321, a limit plate 3221 is provided on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 322, a pull block 3222 is provided at one end of the sliding sleeve 322 away from the limit plate 3221, the sliding sleeve 322 is provided with a plurality of sliding holes 3223, the two ends of the reset elastic member 323 are respectively connected to the fixed sleeve 321 and the limit plate 3221, and the reset elastic member 323 is used to provide the limit plate 3221 and the sliding sleeve 322 with a certain degree of rotation. The elastic force makes the limit plate 3221 have a tendency to move away from the fixed sleeve 321. Each rotating plate 324 can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 321, and each rotating plate 324 can be slidably arranged in the corresponding sliding hole 3223. Each rotating plate 324 is provided with a clamping block 3241 at one end away from the fixed sleeve 321. Each rotating plate 324 is used to drive each clamping block 3241 to open when the pulling block 3222 is pulled, and to drive each clamping block 3241 to clamp the cable body when the pulling block 3222 is released.

[0083] It can be seen that the sliding sleeve 322 can be slidably embedded in the fixed sleeve 321, and the sliding sleeve 322 can slide relative to the fixed sleeve 321 along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve 321. The two ends of the sliding sleeve 322 are respectively provided with a limit plate 3221 and a pull block 3222. At the same time, the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 322 is provided with a reset elastic member 323, and the reset elastic member 323 is installed between the fixed sleeve 321 and the limit plate 3221. The reset elastic member 323 can be a compression spring. The reset spring releases elastic energy through deformation, thereby pushing the limit plate 3221 to move, and then driving the sliding sleeve 322 to slide in the fixed sleeve 321.

[0084] When the cable body is installed, the sliding sleeve 322 is driven to slide in the fixed sleeve 321 by pulling the pull block 3222, thereby driving the limit plate 3221 to move, and the limit plate 3221 moves and squeezes the return spring to compress it and store elastic force, and during the movement of the sliding sleeve 322, the rotating plate 324 is pushed to rotate along the connection point with the fixed sleeve 321. At this time, the rotating plate 324 slides in the sliding hole 3223 of the sliding sleeve 322, and the sliding trajectory is an arc. At this time, the rotating plate 324 drives the clamping block 3241 to realize the opening function, and then the cable body is inserted, and the cable body is inserted into the interface of the load balancer 10, and then It is only necessary to loosen the pull block 3222. At this time, the reset spring needs to restore its deformation and release its elastic energy, thereby pushing the limit plate 3221 to move, and then driving the sliding sleeve 322 to slide in the fixed sleeve 321 (the sliding direction is opposite to the sliding direction when the pull block 3222 is pulled). The sliding return of the sliding sleeve 322 will push the rotating plate 324 to rotate along the connection point with the fixed sleeve 321 (the rotation direction is opposite to the rotation direction when the pull block 3222 is pulled), thereby realizing the function of the rotating plate 324 driving the clamping block 3241 to squeeze and clamp the cable body. Multiple clamping blocks 3241 can clamp at the same time, which can adapt to cable bodies of different thicknesses and has strong compatibility.

[0085] Considering that the conventional device for protecting the cable body cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness of the cable and cannot be applied to multiple load balancers 10, the flexibility is low. The cable protection assembly 32 provided by the present invention utilizes the sliding sleeve 322 to slide in the fixed sleeve 321, so that the multiple rotating plates 324 and the clamping block 3241 move in the opening direction or in the closing direction at the same time. At the same time, the setting of the compression spring can realize that after the pull block 3222 is released, the multiple rotating plates 324 and the clamping block 3241 move in the closing direction at the same time, thereby clamping the cable body.

[0086] With such an arrangement, a flexible cable clamping system can be created by utilizing the sliding of the sliding sleeve 322 in the fixed sleeve 321 and the arrangement of the compression spring: by sliding the sliding sleeve 322 in the fixed sleeve 321, the positions of the multiple rotating plates 324 and the clamping blocks 3241 can be easily adjusted to accommodate cables of different sizes. This design allows for quick adjustment and setting to accommodate the sizes of various cable bodies, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the clamping system; the arrangement of the compression spring enables the multiple rotating plates 324 and the clamping blocks 3241 to automatically move in a closing direction to clamp the cables after the pull block 3222 is released, thereby improving the convenience of operation and reducing the need for manual adjustment; the compression of the compression spring can provide additional clamping force to ensure that the cable body remains stable during the clamping process, thereby reducing potential problems caused by movement or vibration of the cable body.

[0087] Moreover, this design simplifies the installation and fixing process of the cable body. The user only needs to loosen the pull block 3222, and the elastic force of the spring will automatically fix the cable body in place, simplifying the operation steps. At the same time, since the design of the clamping system allows for quick adjustment and release, it can be reused many times and is suitable for environments where cables need to be replaced frequently. In addition, by precisely controlling the clamping force (specifically adjusting the elastic force of the compression spring), excessive squeezing of the cable body can be reduced, thereby avoiding damage to the cable body and extending the service life of the cable body.

[0088] In some embodiments, in order to adapt to the cable body, the end surface of each clamping block 3241 away from the fixing sleeve 321 is an arc surface, and each arc surface is used to abut against the cable body along the circumferential direction to fix the cable body.

[0089] It can be understood that each clamping block 3241 is relative to the support shoe structure arranged at the bottom of the rotating plate 324, and each support shoe structure is used to support the cable body. The size of the arc surface of the support shoe structure along the axial direction of the cable body is larger than the size of each part of the adapter plate along the axial direction of the cable body.

[0090] Of course, according to actual needs, the number of the above-mentioned clamping blocks 3241 can be set to at least three, for example, four. The four clamping blocks 3241 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, and the angle between any two adjacent clamping blocks 3241 in the circumferential direction is 90°, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of clamping the cable body.

[0091] Please refer to FIG. 10 , the load balancer installation assembly further includes a protective housing 40 , which is detachably connected to the frame 22 , and is used to protect the load balancer 10 .

[0092] Specifically, the protective shell 40 includes a shell body 41 and a protective plate 42 . The protective plate 42 and the shell body 41 are an integrally formed structure. The protective plate 42 and the cable protective plate 31 are located on the outside of each frame 22 , and the protective plate 42 and the cable protective plate 31 cover each frame 22 .

[0093] It can be seen that the shell body 41 serves as the main structure of the protective load balancer 10, and the protective plate 42 is arranged on the side of the shell body 41 to protect the vertical rod 222 part of the frame 22. At the same time, the protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31 are arranged side by side on the outside of each frame 22, and both the protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31 can cover each frame 22.

[0094] In some embodiments, any frame 22 is L-shaped, and any frame 22 includes a cross bar 221 and a vertical bar 222 connected to each other. The cross bar 221 extends along the second direction, and the vertical bar 222 extends along the third direction. The length of the cross bar 221 is greater than the length of the vertical bar 222. The vertical bar 222 is provided with a mounting groove 2221. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other; the cross bar 221 serves as a supporting structure at the bottom of the load balancer 10, and the length of the cross bar 221 is adjusted according to the width of the load balancer 10. The vertical bar 222 serves as a side wall limiting structure of the load balancer 10, and the length of the vertical bar 222 is adjusted according to the height of the load balancer 10.

[0095] It should be noted that the second direction may be the Y-axis direction as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , or the width direction of the load balancer 10 , and the third direction may be the Z-axis direction as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , or the height direction of the load balancer 10 .

[0096] In this way, when installing the load balancer 10, first place the load balancer 10 in the positioning cavity of each L-shaped frame 22, which can position the load balancer 10 from the bottom and one side of the load balancer 10, and then connect the protective shell 40 to the support frame 20. The protective shell 40 is used to cover the outside of the load balancer 10 and each frame 22, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the load balancer 10.

[0097] To facilitate the detachable connection of the protective shell 40 and the cable protection plate 31 to the frame 22 , the protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31 are both connected to the frame 22 via the mounting block 50 .

[0098] Please refer to Figure 11. The installation block 50 includes a connecting portion 51 and a clamping portion 52. The clamping portion 52 is vertically connected to the connecting portion 51. The connecting portion 51 is provided with a threaded connecting hole 511. The clamping portion 52 is provided with a hook 521 at one end away from the connecting portion 51. The clamping portion 52 is used to insert into the installation groove 2221 from one side of the corresponding vertical rod 222 so that the hook 521 is against the other side of the vertical rod 222.

[0099] In this way, the installation block 50 is connected to the protective shell 40 or the cable protection plate 31 through the connecting part 51. At the same time, the installation block 50 is connected to the installation groove 2221 of the corresponding vertical rod 222 through the hook 521 on the clamping part 52, so that the connection between the protective shell 40 or the cable protection plate 31 and the corresponding frame 22 can be established.

[0100] By connecting the hook 521 on the clamping portion 52 with the mounting groove 2221 of the vertical rod 222, quick installation can be achieved and assembly efficiency is improved. At the same time, the installation block 50 is connected to the protective shell 40 or the cable protection plate 31 through the connection portion 51, and is connected to the mounting groove 2221 of the vertical rod 222, so as to provide a stable connection and ensure that the protective shell 40 or the cable protection plate 31 will not loosen or fall off during use. In addition, if the position of the protective shell 40 or the cable protection plate 31 needs to be adjusted, the design of the installation block 50 allows easy adjustment without complicated operation.

[0101] The load balancer mounting assembly also includes a mounting screw 60. The protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31 are both provided with a plurality of mounting holes 421 spaced apart along the length direction of the load balancer 10. After the threaded connection hole 511 of the connecting portion 51 corresponds to the corresponding mounting hole 421, the mounting screw 60 passes through the corresponding mounting hole 421 and is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded connection hole 511, so that one end of the mounting block 50 is connected to the protective plate 42 or the cable protection plate 31, and the other end of the mounting block 50 is clamped in the corresponding mounting groove 2221, so as to fix the protective plate 42 or the cable protection plate 31 to the support frame 20.

[0102] When installing the protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31, insert the installation block 50 into the side of the installation groove 2221, and match the installation block 50 with the installation screw 60, then rotate the installation screw 60, and drive the installation block 50 to move toward the direction of the protective plate 42 or the cable protection plate 31 through the threaded cooperation between the installation screw 60 and the installation block 50 until it is squeezed and fixed. At this time, one end of the installation block 50 is stuck on the L-shaped frame 22, and the other end of the installation block 50 is connected to the protective plate 42 or the cable protection plate 31.

[0103] Of course, according to actual needs, the number of mounting screws 60 on the protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31 is set to four. The four mounting screws 60 on the protective plate 42 are arranged at the four corners of the protective plate 42, and the four mounting screws 60 on the cable protection plate 31 are arranged at the four corners of the cable protection plate 31.

[0104] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the spacing between the frames 22, the number of mounting holes 421 on the protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31 is set multiple, for example, at least three mounting holes 421 are set at the four corners of the protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31, and at least three mounting holes 421 are set at intervals along the length direction of the load balancer 10. In this way, when the spacing between the frames 22 is small, the mounting screw 60 can be installed in the inner mounting hole 421, and when the spacing between the frames 22 is large, the mounting screw 60 can be installed in the outer mounting hole 421.

[0105] In some embodiments, an elastic anti-skid pad 23 is provided on the cross bar 221, and the elastic anti-skid pad 23 is used to contact and resist the load balancer 10 to provide an anti-skid treatment for the load balancer 10 and prevent the load balancer 10 from being damaged by collision.

[0106] In this way, the contact between the elastic anti-skid pad 23 and the load balancer 10 facilitates the anti-skid treatment of the load balancer 10. At the same time, the elastic anti-skid pad 23 can be made of rubber material, which can prevent the load balancer 10 from being damaged by collision to a certain extent.

[0107] In some embodiments, the load balancer mounting assembly further includes an anti-impact support assembly 70 , and the anti-impact support assembly 70 includes a support rod 71 , a support sleeve 72 , and a support elastic member 73 .

[0108] Please refer to Figure 12 as well. The support rod 71 is fixedly connected to the corresponding frame 22, and a limit sleeve 711 is provided on the outer wall of the support rod 71; the support sleeve 72 is slidably mounted on the support rod 71, and the support sleeve 72 is used to slide relative to the support rod 71 along the axial direction of the support rod 71, and a support block 721 is provided at the end of the support sleeve 72 away from the limit sleeve 711; the support elastic member 73 is mounted on the support rod 71 and the support sleeve 72, and the two ends of the support elastic member 73 are respectively connected to the limit sleeve 711 and the support block 721, and the support elastic member 73 is used to provide elastic force to the support sleeve 72 and the support block 721, so that the support sleeve 72 and the support block 721 have a tendency to move away from the limit sleeve 711.

[0109] Of course, according to actual needs, the supporting elastic member 73 is specifically a supporting strong spring.

[0110] When the device is fully installed, if the load balancer 10 is impacted, the elastic force of the strong supporting spring and the sliding of the supporting sleeve 72 on the supporting rod 71 can enable the device to recover quickly after external pressure is applied. At the same time, it can prevent severe shaking or tilting during use, thereby preventing the device from damaging the internal structure of the load balancer 10 due to strong impact force.

[0111] Load balancer installation components using the above setup:

[0112] First, the distance between each frame 22 is adjusted by equidistantly extending or contracting the telescopic joint formed by the fixed rod 211, the rotating rod body 2122, and the pin shaft 2121, so as to adapt to load balancers 10 of different lengths, and the threaded cooperation between the positioning knob 213 and the fixed rod 211 allows the positioning knob 213 to squeeze the rotating rod body 2122 to fix the shape of the telescopic joint, that is, to fix the length of the support frame 20; in addition, the strong support spring connected to the support frame 20 cooperates with the support sleeve 72 to slide on the support rod 71 to effectively support the load balancer 10, so that when the load balancer 10 is subjected to impact force, the strong elastic action of the strong support spring can ensure that the support sleeve 72 quickly returns to its original position, thereby reducing shaking or tilting during use and reducing damage to the device caused by impact force. At the same time, the protective shell cooperates with the load balancer 10 to provide more comprehensive protection.

[0113] Secondly, the sliding sleeve 322 slides in the fixed sleeve 321 to cause the strong reset spring to deform and store elastic energy. The movement of the sliding sleeve 322 will push the rotating plate 324 and the clamping block 3241 to rotate along the connection point with the fixed sleeve 321, thereby opening the clamping gap formed between the clamping blocks 3241, and pushing the sliding sleeve 322 to reset when the strong reset spring is deformed and releases elastic energy. At this time, the clamping block 3241 closes the clamping gap again and clamps the cable. Through multi-directional clamping, the clamping force is uniform, which reduces the risk of damaging the cable, and the clamping effect is strong. It can adapt to cables of different sizes to prevent the cables from loosening.

[0114] Furthermore, by means of the threaded cooperation between the mounting block 50 and the mounting screw 60, the protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31 connected to the mounting screw 60 can be flexibly connected to the support frame 20. After the support frame 20 adjusts the spacing, the protective plate 42 and the cable protection plate 31 can be installed by only making the mounting groove 2221 correspond to the corresponding hole of the mounting screw 60. This makes it easy to install, disassemble and replace protective shells or cable protection plates 31 of different shapes and sizes, with high flexibility.

[0115] In summary, the present invention adapts to load balancers 10 of different lengths through the adjustable length support frame 20, and has strong compatibility. At the same time, the protective plate 42 for protecting the load balancer 10 and the cable protection plate 31 for protecting the cable can be flexibly and adaptably installed on the support frame 20 through the installation block 50 and the installation screw 60, which is convenient for disassembly and has high flexibility. In addition, the multi-directional clamping of the cable protection plate 31 can adapt to cables of different sizes, prevent the cables from loosening, and ensure uniform clamping force, thereby reducing the risk of damaging the cables.
