Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drag chain cable technology, specifically to a high-conductivity flexible aluminum alloy drag chain cable. Background Technology
[0002] Drag chain cables are suitable for use as protective devices for wires, cables, hydraulic and pneumatic hoses in various machine tools, robots, transportation machinery, measuring instruments, handling devices, and other drive controls, such as CNC machine tools, machining centers, automated machinery and production lines.
[0003] In applications where equipment units need to move back and forth, cables are often placed in cable drag chains to prevent them from becoming tangled, worn, pulled out, snagged, or scattered. This provides protection for the cables, and they can also move back and forth with the drag chain. These highly flexible special cables that can move back and forth with the drag chain without being easily worn are called drag chain cables. Most drag chain cables are moved by cable drag chains to reduce wear.
[0004] However, existing high-conductivity flexible aluminum alloy drag chain cables have the following shortcomings: (i) Traditional drag chain cables often have insufficient conductivity and are prone to fatigue fracture when bent due to loose conductor arrangement or high material rigidity. The drag chain structure mostly relies on simple splicing or hinge, which is prone to deformation and loosening after long-term use. The tensile and impact resistance is weak. The cover plate mostly adopts rigid fixing or thread fastening method, which is cumbersome to disassemble and assemble, has poor sealing performance, and has high maintenance cost.
[0005] (ii) Traditional drag chain cables often suffer from stress concentration at bends and internal conductor displacement and wear due to the lack of dynamic buffer and flexible guiding structure. The fixing method often relies on rigid connection or simple limit, resulting in high frictional resistance and easy fatigue deformation of components during movement.
[0006] (III) Traditional drag chain cables mostly use simple mechanical fixing or rigid connection structures, which are prone to loosening or breakage at the connection due to stress concentration. In addition, they lack sliding guide design, and long-term bending can easily aggravate component wear. The connection method is simple, the installation efficiency is low, and it is difficult to adapt to the needs of multi-angle movement, which makes the cable prone to displacement or detachment under complex working conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-conductivity flexible aluminum alloy drag chain cable, which improves conductivity and flexibility. The second conductor is evenly distributed around the first conductor and is fixed in place by a protective sleeve, enhancing current transmission efficiency and structural stability. The drag chain mechanism adopts a combination design of side plates and connecting plates, combined with a convex plate and rotating groove structure, which improves bending flexibility while ensuring high strength and adapting to complex motion scenarios. The cover plate mechanism integrates sliding blocks, springs, and slots to achieve quick disassembly and stable locking. The combination of push plate and pinch pad design improves ease of operation. The overall structure has both wear resistance and sealing performance, extending the cable's service life, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high conductivity flexible aluminum alloy drag chain cable, comprising a cable mechanism, a drag chain mechanism being provided on the surface of the cable mechanism, and a cover plate mechanism being provided at the top of the drag chain mechanism; The cable mechanism includes a first conductor and a second conductor, wherein a first insulating sleeve is provided on the surface of the first conductor and a second insulating sleeve is provided on the surface of the second conductor; The cable chain mechanism includes multiple cable chain bodies, with a first side plate and a second side plate fixed to both sides of each cable chain body, and a connecting plate fixed between adjacent cable chain bodies. The cover plate mechanism includes a cover plate body and a protrusion. The protrusion is disposed on a cable chain body. A sliding block is movably disposed in the cover plate body. A push plate is fixed at the top of the sliding block. A first locking block is fixed on the side of the sliding block. An inclined surface is provided on the first locking block.
[0009] Preferably, the second conductor is evenly distributed around the first conductor, and the first and second conductors are integrally fixed by a protective sleeve. By evenly distributing the second conductor around the first conductor and fixing it with an integrated protective sleeve, the conductivity and structural stability of the cable are significantly optimized. The evenly distributed conductor layout effectively reduces current transmission loss, suppresses electromagnetic interference, and improves signal fidelity under high-frequency operating conditions. The integrated molding design of the protective sleeve enhances the overall tensile and wear resistance, prevents short-circuit risks caused by conductor displacement or exposure, and can maintain low resistance loss and long-term reliability even in high-frequency bending scenarios. At the same time, it simplifies the assembly process and reduces maintenance costs.
[0010] Preferably, a first side plate is fixed to the left side of the cable chain body, a second side plate is fixed to the right side of the cable chain body, and a protruding plate is fixed to the outer side of the cable chain body away from the connecting plate. A first rotating groove is formed on the inner side of the first side plate, and a second rotating groove is formed on the outer side of the second side plate. The first rotating groove and the second rotating groove are respectively set on the first side plate on the left and the second side plate on the right, and combined with the surface protruding plate design, the flexibility and deformation resistance of the cable chain are significantly improved. The split layout of the side plates balances the bending stress and reduces local wear. The protruding plate strengthens the rigidity of the cable chain body and prevents torsional deformation during high-frequency movement. The rotating groove and the cover plate mechanism form a low-friction moving node, which not only ensures bending flexibility but also reduces mechanical wear during long-term movement, effectively extending the service life of the cable under dynamic working conditions.
[0011] Preferably, an installation groove is formed in the protrusion, and the cover plate body has a portion that can cooperate with the installation groove. The cover plate body is rotatably connected to another cable chain body via a hinge. Slots are formed on both sides of the protrusion. The sliding block extends out of the sliding groove and cooperates with the slot through a first locking block and a first inclined surface to lock the cover plate body relative to the protrusion. The sliding block retracts into the sliding groove and separates from the slot through the first locking block to unlock the cover plate body relative to the protrusion. Through the sliding connection between the installation groove and the protrusion, the rotational connection of the hinge, and the inclined groove guide design of the first locking block, efficient and stable opening, closing, and locking are achieved. The multiple sliding cooperation structure ensures that the cover plate maintains its sealing performance during high-frequency movement, reducing the risk of external media intrusion. The self-guiding characteristic of the first inclined surface allows the first locking block to quickly and accurately enter the position, improving assembly efficiency and reducing operational intensity. The synergistic effect of the hinge and sliding components balances bending stress, avoids wear caused by rigid collisions, significantly extends the service life of the cover plate mechanism, and ensures reliable protection of cables under dynamic working conditions.
[0012] Preferably, a spring is fixed on the side of the sliding block away from the first locking block, and the end of the spring away from the sliding block is fixed to the sliding groove. By setting a spring on the inner wall of the sliding block and linking it with the sliding groove, the elastic force is used to realize the automatic reset and stable locking of the sliding block, which significantly improves the reliability and durability of the cover plate mechanism. The elastic buffering effect of the spring effectively absorbs the impact of movement, reduces the frictional loss between the sliding block and the groove, and prevents jamming. The first locking block driven by the elastic force can quickly return to its original position and fit tightly into the groove, avoiding the risk of loosening due to vibration. This structure has both dynamic adaptability and self-locking function, reduces the need for manual maintenance, and ensures the long-term stable operation of the cable in high-frequency bending scenarios.
[0013] Preferably, a connecting block is provided at the top of the sliding block, and an adjustment groove is opened on the cover plate body for the reciprocating movement of the connecting block. A push plate is fixed at the top of the connecting block, and a pinch pad is fixed at the top of the push plate. By adding a connecting block, a push plate, and a pinch pad assembly at the top of the sliding block, the ease of operation and structural stability are significantly optimized. The sliding cooperation between the connecting block and the adjustment groove realizes the function of fine-tuning the position, which is convenient for quick adaptation to different working conditions. The flexible contact surface design of the push plate and the pinch pad reduces the intensity of operation, improves the grip comfort and precise control capability, and the spring-driven sliding block can automatically reset and remain stably locked after adjustment, effectively avoiding the risk of loosening, reducing assembly time and maintenance costs, while enhancing the impact resistance in dynamic environments and extending the service life of the cable system.
[0014] Preferably, a fixed seat is provided at the top of the connecting plate, a slider is provided inside the fixed seat, a soft pad is fixedly installed on the surface of the slider, a partition plate is fixed at the top of the slider, an anti-slip pad is fixed at the top of the partition plate, and a protective pad is provided on the side of the partition plate. Through the synergistic optimization of the fixed seat, slider and multi-layer buffer components, the dynamic stability and durability of the cable chain are significantly improved. The low-friction sliding cooperation between the slider and the fixed seat reduces bending resistance, the soft pad effectively absorbs motion impact and disperses stress, the partition plate combined with the anti-slip pad prevents internal conductor displacement, and the protective pad provides wear-resistant protection for the sides, reducing the risk of wear in high-frequency motion, enhancing the resistance to deformation, simplifying the maintenance process, and extending the service life of the cable under complex working conditions.
[0015] Preferably, the slider slides along the length of the fixed seat via a groove, and the soft pads are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the slider. The soft pads are slidably connected to the fixed seat via the groove. Through the sliding connection between the slider and the fixed seat and the symmetrical distribution of the soft pads, the dynamic stability and durability of the cable chain are significantly optimized. The groove guide reduces bending friction resistance, and the symmetrical layout of the soft pads balances the force and absorbs the impact of movement, reducing unilateral wear. The sliding cooperation between the partition plate and the fixed seat achieves modular separation, preventing displacement of the internal conductors. The anti-slip pads and protective pads enhance the overall sealing and wear resistance, effectively avoid stress concentration, improve fatigue resistance under high-frequency movement, simplify maintenance procedures, and extend the service life of the cable in complex working conditions.
[0016] Preferably, a connecting buckle cover plate is provided on the surface of the cable chain body, a fixing plate is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting buckle cover plate, and a second locking block is fixed to the side of the fixing plate. The second locking block has a second inclined groove, which improves the assembly stability and dynamic adaptability of the cable chain. The fixing plates evenly distributed inside the connecting buckle cover plate, combined with the guiding design of the second inclined groove, realize the precise positioning and quick assembly and disassembly of the second locking block, reducing the wear risk of traditional rigid connection. The fixing plate and the side plate are slidably engaged by the first connecting groove and B, which balances multi-directional forces and reduces bending friction, enhancing the resistance to deformation in complex movements.
[0017] Preferably, the fixing plates are evenly distributed circumferentially on the surface of the connecting cover plate. The fixing plates and the second locking blocks are engaged with the first side plate through the first connecting groove, and the fixing plates and the second locking blocks are engaged with the second side plate through the second connecting groove. This allows the two adjacent cable chain bodies to be fixed through the connecting cover plate, improving the dynamic stability and assembly reliability of the cable chain. The evenly distributed fixing plates, combined with the multi-directional sliding engagement of the first and second connecting grooves, balance the multi-directional forces during bending, reducing local stress concentration. The second inclined groove guide design of the second locking block reduces assembly difficulty and enables quick locking, avoiding the problem of loosening or breakage of traditional rigid connections, reducing friction loss, and enhancing the resistance to deformation under complex working conditions. This effectively extends the service life of the cable in high-frequency bending scenarios and simplifies the maintenance process.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (i) This invention improves conductivity and flexibility through the cover plate body, hinge, protrusion, mounting groove, slot, sliding groove, sliding block, first locking block, first inclined surface, spring, connecting block, push plate, pinch pad and adjusting groove. The second conductor is evenly distributed around the first conductor and is fixed by the protective sleeve, which enhances the current transmission efficiency and structural stability. The drag chain mechanism adopts a combination design of side plate and connecting plate, combined with the protrusion plate and rotating groove structure, which improves bending flexibility while ensuring high strength and adapting to complex motion scenarios. The cover plate mechanism integrates sliding block, spring and slot to realize quick disassembly and stable locking. The combination of push plate and pinch pad design improves the convenience of operation. The overall structure has both wear resistance and sealing performance, which extends the service life of the cable.
[0019] (ii) The present invention, including the equipment fixing seat, slide, slider, soft pad, partition plate, anti-slip pad and protective pad, improves the structural stability and flexibility. The cooperative design of the slider and slide reduces motion friction. Combined with the buffering effect of the soft pad, it effectively absorbs vibration and reduces bending stress. The combination of partition plate and anti-slip pad prevents internal displacement of the cable and enhances the fixation reliability. The protective pad provides additional protection for the conductor and reduces the risk of wear.
[0020] (III) In this invention, the first connecting groove, the second connecting groove, the connecting buckle cover plate, the fixing plate, the second locking block and the second inclined groove of the equipment improve the connection strength and stability of the drag chain structure. The fixing plate and the side plate on the inner wall of the connecting buckle cover plate slide together through the connecting groove to achieve multi-directional flexible positioning and reduce bending friction loss. The guiding design of the second locking block and the second inclined groove optimizes the assembly efficiency and prevents the connection from loosening. The evenly distributed fixing plate balances the force and enhances the resistance to deformation. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The cover plate mechanism 3 includes a cover plate body 301 and a protrusion 303 fixed to one of the cable chain bodies 201. One end of the cover plate body 301 is rotatably mounted on the other cable chain body 201. Specifically, a sliding block 307 is provided inside the cover plate body 301. A first locking block 308 is fixed to the side of the sliding block 307, and a push plate 312 is fixed to the top of the sliding block 307.
[0028] Specifically, a first side plate 202 is fixed to the left side of the cable chain body 201, a second side plate 203 is fixed to the right side of the cable chain body 201, a protruding plate 204 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the cable chain body 201, a first rotating groove 206 is formed on the inner surface of the first side plate 202, and a second rotating groove 207 is formed on the outer surface of the second side plate 203. The cover plate body 301 is slidably connected to the protruding plate 303 through the mounting groove 304. The end of the cover plate body 301 away from the mounting groove 304 is rotatably connected to the cable chain body 201 through a hinge 302. A sliding block 307 is slidably disposed on the cover plate body 301 and is slidably connected to the cover plate body 301 through the sliding groove 306. A first locking block 308 is used to engage with the sliding block 307 when it extends out of the cover plate body 301. The slot 305 engages with the protrusion 303, and the first locking block 308 has a first inclined surface 309. The end of the sliding block 307 away from the first locking block 308 is also connected to a spring 310. The end of the spring 310 away from the sliding block 307 is fixed inside the sliding groove 306. The sliding groove 306 is opened along the width direction of the cover plate body 301. The sliding groove 306 is a countersunk hole with a certain depth. The spring 310 is slidably connected to the cover plate body 301. A connecting block 311 is provided at the top of the sliding block 307. The connecting block 311 is slidably set in the adjustment groove 314. The adjustment groove 314 is also opened along the width direction of the cover plate body 301, and the adjustment groove 314 is connected to the sliding groove 306.
[0029] Furthermore, a push plate 312 is fixed at the top of the connecting block 311. The connecting block 311 is slidably connected to the cover plate body 301 through the adjustment groove 314. The push plate 312 is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting block 311, and a pinch pad 313 is fixedly installed at the top of the push plate 312.
[0030] The first conductor 101 and the second conductor 103 are made of copper, which has excellent conductivity (second only to silver) and strong oxidation resistance. They are suitable for low-voltage to high-voltage power transmission, signal transmission and other fields. They have high conductivity, corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength, and are suitable for complex environments and long-distance power transmission. The first insulating sleeve 102 and the second insulating sleeve 104 are made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which has high mechanical strength, wear resistance and good chemical stability. They are widely used in low-voltage cables. The protective sleeve 105 is made of rubber, which has good flexibility, wear resistance and high and low temperature resistance. It is used in dynamic environments such as mining cables and marine cables.
[0031] The technical effects of the first embodiment are as follows: It improves conductivity and flexibility. The second conductor 103 is evenly distributed and integrated with the protective sleeve 105 for fixation, which enhances current transmission efficiency and structural stability. The drag chain mechanism 2 adopts a combination design of side plate, convex plate 204 and rotating groove, and is reinforced with connecting plate 205. It maintains low friction loss and high deformation resistance in high-frequency bending, and adapts to complex motion scenarios. The cover plate mechanism 3 integrates a sliding block driven by spring 310 and a slanted groove guide system to achieve quick disassembly and stable locking. Combined with the push plate 312 and the pinch pad 313 design, it improves the ease of operation. At the same time, the multi-layer sealing structure enhances the protective performance. The overall wear resistance and service life are significantly better than traditional cables.
[0032] Example 2, according to Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, a fixed base 4 is fixed to the top of the connecting plate 205, and a slider 6 is slidably disposed on the fixed base 4. Specifically, a groove 5 is formed on the fixed base 4 for the slider 6 to slide. The slider 6 is disposed inside the fixed base 4, a soft pad 7 is fixed to the surface of the slider 6, a partition plate 8 is fixed to the top of the slider 6, an anti-slip pad 9 is fixed to the top of the partition plate 8, and a protective pad 10 is fixed to the side of the partition plate 8. The slider 6 is slidably connected to the fixed base 4 through the groove 5. The soft pads 7 are symmetrically distributed at the front and rear ends of the slider 6, and the soft pads 7 can slide along one side of the length direction of the groove 5. The partition plate 8 is slidably connected to the fixed base 4 through the groove 5. Specifically, because the groove 5 is relatively deep, when the slider 6 is embedded in the groove 5, part of the partition plate 8 also extends into the groove 5. When the slider 6 slides relative to the fixed base 4 in the groove 5, the partition plate 8 also partially slides within the groove 5.
[0033] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is as follows: It optimizes dynamic stability and protective performance. The sliding cooperation between the slider 6 and the groove 5 reduces motion friction resistance. The symmetrical distribution design of the soft pads 7 effectively absorbs bending vibration and disperses stress. The soft pads 7 are mainly made of rubber. During use, because they are in close contact with the inner side of the groove 5, they can stabilize the slider 6 without external force, preventing it from shaking and shifting. The soft pads 7 are small in size, so they do not increase the friction coefficient of the slider 6, ensuring that the sliding of the slider 6 relative to the groove 5 is unaffected. The combination of the partition plate 8 and the anti-slip pad 9 prevents internal conductor displacement, while the protective pad 10 provides additional wear-resistant protection for the conductor. This achieves low wear and high sealing performance during high-frequency motion, significantly improving the cable's flexibility, impact resistance, and long service life compared to traditional rigid fixing methods.
[0034] Example 3, according to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, a connecting buckle cover plate 13 is provided on the surface of the cable chain body 201. A fixing plate 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting buckle cover plate 13. A second locking block 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing plate 14. A second inclined groove 16 is provided on the right side of the second locking block 15. The fixing plates 14 are evenly distributed on the surface of the connecting buckle cover plate 13 along the circumferential direction. Specifically, the first connecting groove 11 and the second connecting groove 12 of two adjacent cable chain bodies 201 are aligned so that multiple fixing plates 14 on the connecting buckle cover plate 13 pass through the first connecting groove 11 on the first side plate 202, and then extend into the second connecting groove 12 of the second side plate 203. They are then locked into the inner side of the second side plate 203 by the second locking block 15, so that the two adjacent cable chain bodies 201 can be locked together by the connecting buckle cover plate 13.
[0035] The overall effect of embodiment 3 is as follows: it improves the assembly stability and dynamic adaptability of the cable chain. The fixed plates 14 evenly distributed inside the connecting buckle cover plate 13, combined with the guide design of the second inclined groove 16, realize the precise positioning and quick disassembly of the second locking block 15, reduce the wear risk of traditional rigid connection. The fixed plate 14 and the side plate are slidably engaged through the first connecting groove 11 and the second connecting groove 12B, which balances the multi-directional force and reduces bending friction, and enhances the resistance to deformation in complex motion. The overall design effectively avoids the problems of connection loosening and stress concentration through the synergistic effect of modular sliding components and guide inclined grooves, and extends the service life of the cable in high-frequency motion scenarios.
[0036] The working principle of the entire device is as follows: When in use, place the cable chain mechanism 2 in a suitable position, open the cover plate mechanism 3, and pull the push plate 312 along the center direction of the cover plate body 301 by the pinch pad 313, so that the push plate 312 drives the connecting block 31 to slide. Since the pinch pad 313 is connected to the sliding block 307 through the connecting block 311, and the connecting block 311 can slide in the adjusting groove 314, the sliding block 307 is simultaneously driven to slide in the sliding groove 306 while the connecting block 311 is moving. Since the end of the sliding block 307 has a first locking block 308, the first locking block 308 slides synchronously towards the center of the cover plate body 301. During the sliding process, the sliding block 307 further compresses the spring 310, causing the spring 310 to contract. When the first locking block 308 slides out of the protrusion 303 through the locking groove 305, the cover plate body 301 is then pinched. 01. Pull upwards to make the cover plate body 301 rotate upwards at the top of the cable chain body 201 via the hinge 302. After the cover plate body 301 is fully opened, place the cable mechanism 1 in the space between the adjacent cable chain body 201, the connecting plate 205 and the cover plate body 301. Finally, pinch the cover plate body 301 and press it downwards. During the pressing process, when the cover plate body approaches the protrusion 303, when the first locking block 308 contacts the locking grooves 305 on the left and right sides of the protrusion 303, it is affected by the first inclined surface 309 at the bottom of the first locking block 308 and the spring 310 is no longer under force. After its reset deformation, it drives the sliding block 307 and the first locking block 308 to move away from the center of the cover plate body until the first locking block 308 gradually locks into the locking groove 305, thereby locking the cover plate body 301 inside the locking groove 305.
[0037] In Embodiment 2: When placing the cable mechanism 1, the partition plate 8 can be pinched and pushed or pulled, so that the slider 6 slides inside the fixed seat 4 through the slide groove 5. The slider 6 drives the soft pad 7 to slide inside the fixed seat 4 through the slide groove 5, and the partition plate 8 slides at the top of the fixed seat 4. When the partition plate 8 slides to the designated position, the cable mechanism 1 can be placed between the adjacent partition plates 8, thereby fixing the cable mechanism 1. During long-term use, the protective pads 10 on both sides of the partition plate 8 can protect the cable mechanism 1. When the cover plate mechanism 3 is firmly fixed, the bottom end of its cover plate body 301 can be firmly fixed to the partition plate 8 between the connecting plate 205 and the cover plate body 301 through the anti-slip pad 9, thereby preventing the partition plate 8 from moving.
[0038] In Embodiment 3, when facing different usage needs, the connecting buckle cover plate 13 on the surface of the protruding plate 204 can be pinched and pulled backward, causing the fixing plate 14 to slide backward together with the second locking block 15. At this time, the fixing plate 14 drives the second locking block 15 to slide outward through the first connecting groove 11 inside the first side plate 202, and slide outward through the second connecting groove 12 inside the second side plate 203. When the fixing plate 14 drives the second locking block 15 to slide completely out of the interior of the first side plate 202 and the second side plate 203, then the cable chain body 201 can be pinched and pulled backward, causing the first side plate 202 to slide backward through the first rotating groove 206 and the second rotating groove 207 inside the second side plate 203, thereby achieving the effect of disassembling the cable chain body 201. When it is necessary to add the cable chain body 201, the first side plate 202 is aligned with the second side plate 203 and pulled inward. Push the first side plate 202 to slide into the second side plate 203 through the first rotating groove 206 and the second rotating groove 207. Finally, pinch the connecting buckle cover plate 13 to align the fixing plate 14 with the first connecting groove 11 and the second connecting groove 12 and press it inward. This causes the second locking block 15 to be compressed towards the center through the second inclined groove 16. The fixing plate 14 then drives the second locking block 15 to slide into the interior of the first side plate 202 and the second side plate 203 through the first connecting groove 11 and the second connecting groove 12, thus fixing them together. This allows for adjustment of the connection length of the drag chain body 201 as needed. Finally, the cable mechanism 1 can be connected to the equipment. At this point, tools are needed to remove the protective sleeve 105 and the first insulating sleeve 102 and the second insulating sleeve 104. Then, the first conductor 101 and the second conductor 103 can be connected to the equipment to achieve the desired effect.
