Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable chain technology, specifically to a vertical guide groove with a locking structure. Background Technology

[0002] Cable chains are structures used to secure electrical wires, air compressor hoses, or hydraulic hoses. They are primarily used in space-constrained environments, such as robotic arms in factories, cranes, or automated parking systems, to facilitate machine rotation and movement. In some vertical applications of cable chains, such as in automated parking systems, the lack of a restraining structure below the chain causes it to suspend freely. During operation, vibrations can cause the suspended parts of the cable chain to collide, leading to the moving end pulling the fixed end along with it. This can result in the middle of the cable chain becoming tangled and compressed. If the moving end continues to move, the cable chain can break, disrupting the operation of the parking system and, in severe cases, causing vehicles to fall, creating a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vertical guide groove with a locking structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vertical guide groove with a locking structure, comprising a vertical guide rail frame, the side view of which is an L-shaped structure, both ends of which are fixedly connected to a fixing frame, the fixing frame being a U-shaped structure, and limit plates fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the fixing frame, the fixing frame and the limit plates being connected end to end, a cable chain body being provided between the fixing frame and the limit plates, a fixed end head being fixedly connected to the fixed end of the cable chain body, and a movable end head being fixedly connected to the free end of the cable chain body.

[0006] Preferably, the control plate has a U-shaped structure, and there are gaps between the two ends of the control plate and the two ends of the limiting plate. The fixing part is horizontally arranged and located at the upper end of the deformable part. The fixing part is fixedly connected to the upper end of the control plate.

[0007] Preferably, an auxiliary plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the control board, the sliding plate has a U-shaped structure, the sliding plate is sleeved on the auxiliary plate, the lower end of the deformable part is a connecting part, the connecting part has a U-shaped structure, the auxiliary plate is located at the connecting part, and the two ends of the connecting part are fixedly connected to the sliding plate.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the control panel is provided with a sliding groove, and the top plate and the control block are slidably connected in the sliding groove. The control block moves vertically, and the top plate moves horizontally.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the control block is an inclined structure, the lower end of the top plate is an arc-shaped structure, and the lower end of the top plate abuts against the upper end of the control block.

[0011] Preferably, a side plate is fixedly connected to the side end of the control panel, and an adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the middle of the side plate. The two ends of the adjusting screw pass through the top plate, and the adjusting screw and the top plate are threadedly connected.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the cable chain body is in the middle of the limiting plate, and the locking plate limits both sides of the cable chain body, so that the moving side and the fixed side of the cable chain body are independent of each other, preventing the cable chain body from shaking out of the limiting plate and colliding with each other when it is used vertically.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To enhance understanding of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described and introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments, and are not intended to limit the embodiments in any way. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 This invention provides a technical solution: a vertical guide rail with a locking structure, including a vertical guide rail frame 1. The side view of the vertical guide rail frame 1 is an L-shaped structure. Fixed frames 3 are fixedly connected to both ends of the vertical guide rail frame 1. The fixed frames 3 are U-shaped structures. Limiting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the fixed frames 3. The fixed frames 3 and the limiting plates 4 are connected end-to-end. A drag chain body 2 is provided between the fixed frames 3 and the limiting plates 4. A fixed end 5 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the drag chain body 2, and a movable end 7 is fixedly connected to the free end of the drag chain body 2. The fixed end 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the uppermost limiting plate 4. A connecting plate 6, which is U-shaped, is fixedly connected to the movable end 7. A fixed connection is made in the middle of the connecting plate 6. A mounting block 8 is fixedly connected to the side end of the connecting plate 6. A control plate 9 is fixedly connected to the side end of the mounting block 8. A pressing plate 10 is provided on the side end of the control plate 9. The pressing plate 10 is composed of a fixed part 101, a deformable part 102 and a connecting part 103. A locking control mechanism 15 is provided in the middle of the control plate 9. The locking control mechanism 15 is composed of a sliding plate 151, an unlocking block 152, a control block 153, an elastic plate 154, an adjusting screw 155 and a top plate 156. The limiting plate 4 and the vertical guide rail frame 1 work together to limit the drag chain body 2, so that the drag chain body 2 is limited in the middle of the limiting plate 4, thereby making the moving side and the fixed side of the drag chain body 2 independent of each other.

[0021] The limiting plate 4 has a U-shaped structure, and mounting platforms 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the limiting plate 4. A locking plate 12 is slidably connected to the middle of the mounting platform 11. The side end of the locking plate 12 has an arc-shaped structure. A spring is provided between the locking plate 12 and the mounting platform 11. The locking plate 12 can extend and retract into the mounting platform 11. When the cable chain body 2 is engaged with the limiting plate 4, the locking plate 12 can lock and limit both sides of the cable chain body 2, so that the moving side and the fixed side of the cable chain body 2 are independent of each other, avoiding the squeezing and collision of the suspended part of the cable chain body 2 when it is used vertically, and ensuring the safety of the cable chain body 2.

[0022] The control plate 9 has a U-shaped structure, with gaps between its two ends and the two ends of the limiting plate. The fixing part 101 is horizontally positioned above the deformable part 102 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the control plate 9. An auxiliary plate 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the control plate 9. The sliding plate 151 has a U-shaped structure and is fitted onto the auxiliary plate 13. The lower end of the deformable part 102 is a connecting part 103, which has a U-shaped structure. The auxiliary plate 13 is located at the connecting part 103. Both ends of the connecting part 103 are fixedly connected to the sliding plate 151. After the extrusion plate 10 and the control plate 9 are installed, when the moving end moves downward, the number of cable chains below the fixed end of the cable chain body 2 increases, that is, the suspended part increases. At this time, the deformation part 101 abuts against the side end of the cable chain body 2 and extrudes the cable chain body 2, thereby causing the cable chain body 2 to be engaged between the limiting plate 4 and the locking plate 12, and the locking plate 12 limits the cable chain body 2.

[0023] The inner wall of the control panel 9 is provided with a sliding groove 14. The top plate 156 and the control block 153 are slidably connected in the sliding groove 14. The control block 153 moves vertically, and the top plate 156 moves horizontally. The elastic plate 154 is an elastic iron sheet. The upper end of the elastic plate 154 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the control block 153, and the lower end of the elastic plate 154 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding plate 151. Unlocking blocks 152 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding plate 151. The side end has an arc-shaped structure, the upper end of the control block 153 has an inclined structure, and the lower end of the top plate 156 has an arc-shaped structure. The lower end of the top plate 156 abuts against the upper end of the control block 153. The side end of the control plate 9 is fixedly connected to a side plate 16, and an adjusting screw 155 is rotatably connected to the middle of the side plate 16. Both ends of the adjusting screw 155 pass through the top plate 156, and the adjusting screw 155 and the top plate 156 are threadedly connected. When the moving end head moves, the sliding plate 151 passes through two... In the middle of the locking plate 12, the unlocking blocks 152 on both sides of the sliding plate 151 can press the locking plate 12, thereby pressing the locking plate 12 into the mounting platform 11. At this time, if the moving end 7 rises, it can move the cable chain body 2 of that part out of the limiting plate 4. If the moving end 7 falls, the pressing plate 10 can press the cable chain body 2 of that part into the space between the limiting plate 4 and the locking plate 12, thereby limiting and fixing the cable chain body. When the adjusting screw 155 is rotated, the adjusting screw 155 can drive the top plate 156 to move. The top plate 156 can press the control block 153, thereby changing the position of the control block 153. The control block 153 can drive the position of the sliding plate 151 through the elastic plate 154, thereby adjusting the position of the unlocking block 152, so that the unlocking block 152 and the locking plate 12 are misaligned, so that the unlocking block 152 cannot press the locking plate 12, and the cable chain body 2 cannot work.

[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it should be emphasized that the above description is merely an introduction and description of the usage of the embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
