Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering technology, and more specifically to a tow rope mounting connector assembly that can use a high-position bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Large equipment requires the use of a mobile trolley for magnetic testing. Since the mobile trolley itself must not be magnetic, it needs to be driven by a towing device to move it by a drag rope.

[0003] The towing rope needs to be connected to the vehicle body via a mounting connector assembly, with the connection method being a rope sleeve and a pin. When using a vertical pin, the lower end of the pin protrudes more of the tensioned towing rope, necessitating that the towing rope bracket be positioned lower to avoid interference with the mounting connector assembly on the moving vehicle body.

[0004] When using a horizontal pin, the pin end structure is moved to the side, which avoids the drag rope bracket. However, the bracket still has to avoid the rope loop and the lower half of the pin. Although this is an improvement over the vertical pin, it is still not ideal. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a towing rope mounting connector assembly that can use a high-position bracket to solve the problem of lateral tilting or inadequate support caused by excessive gaps.

[0006] In a first aspect of the present invention, a drag rope mounting connector assembly that can use a high-position bracket is provided, comprising: a bracket, a pin assembly, and a support bracket;

[0007] The support frame is enclosed by stiffening plates on the rear and outer sides, and has open ends on the front and inner sides;

[0008] The pin in the pin assembly is a vertical pin, which is mounted on the bracket;

[0009] The support rod is located on the side of the bracket near the stiffening plate and is used to support the rope loop.

[0010] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the support includes: a base plate and a vertical plate;

[0011] The base plate has countersunk through holes, and the towing rope mounting connector assembly is installed onto the mobile trolley using screws; the vertical plate is perpendicular to the base plate and divides the support into two areas.

[0012] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the outermost region is an auxiliary frame, which is mainly used to strengthen the rigidity of the support and bear the diagonal load of the towing rope.

[0013] In the inner area, the upper and lower mounting slots for the towing rope are formed by three spaced-apart shaft hole partitions, C-shaped panels, and cantilevered vertical plates.

[0014] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, screw holes are provided on both the cantilever vertical plate and the shaft hole partition plate at the middle position, for installing the support plate after the towing rope is installed to improve the local structural rigidity.

[0015] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the auxiliary frame consists of an auxiliary panel, an auxiliary vertical plate, and three auxiliary partitions.

[0016] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, stiffening plates are arranged between the cantilever arm of the cantilever vertical plate and the C-shaped panel to support the support frame.

[0017] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the pin assembly is used to fix the rope sleeve of the drag rope and consists of a pin and a retaining ring at the shaft end;

[0018] The pin is inserted into the shaft holes of three spaced-apart shaft hole partitions on the bracket, and the end is positioned and secured with a shaft end retaining ring.

[0019] In some alternative embodiments of the invention, the support frame is used to support the rope loop and consists of two suspension plates and one support rod.

[0020] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, there are 1 to 3 sets of support rods, which are installed on the cantilever end of the cantilever vertical plate.

[0021] In some alternative embodiments of the invention, it includes two symmetrical parts, each of which consists of a bracket and a pin assembly.

[0022] In one specific embodiment of this application, a tow rope mounting connector assembly that can use a high-mounted bracket is provided, including a bracket, a pin assembly, and a support rod bracket. The pin is a vertical pin mounted on the bracket. The bracket has stiffening plates on its rear and outer sides, and open ends on its front and inner sides. In use, the tow rope loop is inserted into the bracket from the open end, passing through the pin hole, and then the pin is inserted to fix the loop to the bracket. Thus, the loop wraps around the pin from inside the bracket, with both ends extending from the front and inner sides respectively. The same loop is then installed with another symmetrical tow rope mounting connector assembly. In this way, the loop wraps around the two pins on the left and right, with the tow rope body located in the middle, away from the two tow rope mounting connector assemblies. The empty space between the two tow rope mounting connector assemblies can be used to arrange a high-mounted bracket close to the tow rope. Considering that the loop is relatively large and may snag on the fasteners on both sides of the bracket when slack, a thinner support rod bracket is used to provide some support for the loop. This way, the bracket only needs to avoid the thin support rod.

[0023] The support frame is the main structure of the tow rope mounting connector assembly, including a base plate, vertical plate, shaft hole partition plate, cantilever vertical plate, C-shaped panel, stiffening plate, auxiliary frame, and support plate. The base plate has countersunk through holes for screwing the tow rope mounting connector assembly onto the moving trolley. The vertical plate is perpendicular to the base plate and divides the entire support frame into two areas. In the inner area, three spaced-apart shaft hole partition plates, C-shaped panels, and cantilever vertical plates form the upper and lower mounting slots for the tow rope; one slot can be selected for installation as needed. Screw holes are provided on the cantilever vertical plate and the middle shaft hole partition plate for installing the support plate after the tow rope is installed, thus improving the local structural rigidity. The outer area contains the auxiliary frame, which mainly strengthens the support frame's rigidity and bears the diagonal tension load of the tow rope. The auxiliary frame consists of an auxiliary panel, auxiliary vertical plate, and three auxiliary partition plates. Stiffening plates are arranged between the cantilever arms of the cantilever vertical plate and the C-shaped panel to support the support frame.

[0024] The pin assembly is used to secure the rope sleeve of the towing rope and consists of a pin and a retaining ring at the end of the pin. The pin is inserted into the shaft holes of three spaced-apart partition plates on the bracket, and the end is secured with the retaining ring at the end.

[0025] The support frame is used to support the rope loop. It consists of two suspension plates and one support rod. One to three sets of support frames can be set according to the actual support needs and are installed on the cantilever end of the cantilever vertical plate.

[0026] The beneficial effects provided by this invention are:

[0027] The present invention utilizes a high-position bracket for the installation of a towing rope connector assembly. The high-position roller bracket supports the towing rope body without interfering with the parts of the towing rope installation connector assembly, and only needs to avoid the thinner support rod.

[0028] Advantages of additional aspects of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, a tow rope mounting connector assembly that can be used with a high-mounted bracket is provided, including a bracket, a pin assembly, and a support rod bracket. The pin is a vertical pin mounted on the bracket. The bracket has stiffening plates on its rear and outer sides, and open ends on its front and inner sides. In use, the tow rope loop is inserted into the bracket from the open end, passing through the pin hole, and then the pin is inserted to fix the loop to the bracket. Thus, the loop wraps around the pin from inside the bracket, with both ends extending from the front and inner sides respectively. The same loop is then installed with another symmetrical tow rope mounting connector assembly. In this way, the loop wraps around the two pins on the left and right, with the tow rope body located in the middle, away from the two tow rope mounting connector assemblies. The empty space between the two tow rope mounting connector assemblies can be used to place a high-mounted bracket close to the tow rope. Considering that the loop is relatively large and may snag on the fasteners on both sides of the bracket when slack, a thinner support rod bracket is used to provide some support for the loop. This way, the bracket only needs to avoid the thin support rod.

[0037] The support frame is the main structure of the tow rope mounting connector assembly, including a base plate, vertical plate, shaft hole partition plate, cantilever vertical plate, C-shaped panel, stiffening plate, auxiliary frame, and support plate. The base plate has countersunk through holes for screwing the tow rope mounting connector assembly onto the moving trolley. The vertical plate is perpendicular to the base plate and divides the entire support frame into two areas. In the inner area, three spaced-apart shaft hole partition plates, C-shaped panels, and cantilever vertical plates form the upper and lower mounting slots for the tow rope; one slot can be selected for installation as needed. Screw holes are provided on the cantilever vertical plate and the middle shaft hole partition plate for installing the support plate after the tow rope is installed, thus improving the local structural rigidity. The outer area contains the auxiliary frame, which mainly strengthens the support frame's rigidity and bears the diagonal tension load of the tow rope. The auxiliary frame consists of an auxiliary panel, auxiliary vertical plate, and three auxiliary partition plates. Stiffening plates are arranged between the cantilever arms of the cantilever vertical plate and the C-shaped panel to support the support frame.

[0038] The pin assembly is used to secure the rope sleeve of the towing rope and consists of a pin and a retaining ring at the end of the pin. The pin is inserted into the shaft holes of three spaced-apart partition plates on the bracket, and the end is secured with the retaining ring at the end.

[0039] The support frame is used to support the rope loop. It consists of two suspension plates and one support rod. One to three sets of support frames can be set according to the actual support needs and are installed on the cantilever end of the cantilever vertical plate.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, this is a typical transverse pin-driven rope connector assembly. In addition to maintaining the necessary clearance t, the upper end of the bracket must also avoid the wire rope diameter d and the pin radius R.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, this is a typical vertical pin shaft drag rope connector assembly. In addition to maintaining the necessary clearance t, the upper end of the bracket must also avoid the thickness h1 of the bracket and the thickness h2 of the pin shaft end fastening structure.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, this is a tow rope mounting connector assembly that can use a high-mounted bracket. It consists of two symmetrical left and right parts, each composed of a bracket and a pin assembly. A tow rope sleeve is installed in the middle and supported by a bracket. The tow rope head is installed using the sleeve and pin, allowing for two mounting positions, one above and one below. The tow rope body is located in the middle, away from the two tow rope mounting connector assemblies. The space between the two assemblies can be used to arrange a high-mounted bracket close to the tow rope.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the support structure includes a base plate, vertical plates, shaft hole partitions, cantilever vertical plates, C-shaped panels, stiffening plates, an auxiliary frame, and a support plate. The base plate has countersunk through holes for screwing the towing rope mounting connector assembly onto the moving trolley. The vertical plates are perpendicular to the base plate and divide the entire support structure into two areas. In the inner area, three spaced-apart shaft hole partitions, a C-shaped panel, and cantilever vertical plates form the upper and lower mounting slots for the towing rope; one slot can be selected for installation as needed. Screw holes are provided on the cantilever vertical plates and the middle shaft hole partition for installing the support plate after the towing rope is installed, thus improving the local structural rigidity. The outer area contains the auxiliary frame, which primarily strengthens the support's rigidity and bears the diagonal load of the towing rope. The auxiliary frame consists of an auxiliary panel, an auxiliary vertical plate, and three auxiliary partitions. Stiffening plates are arranged between the cantilever arms of the cantilever vertical plates and the C-shaped panels to support the support frame.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the pin assembly, used to fix the rope sleeve of the traction rope, consists of a pin and a retaining ring at the end of the pin. The pin is inserted into the shaft holes of three spaced-apart shaft hole partitions on the bracket, and the end is positioned and secured by the retaining ring at the end of the pin.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the support frame is used to support the rope loop and consists of two suspension plates and one support rod. One to three sets of support frames can be set according to the actual support situation and are installed on the cantilever end of the cantilever vertical plate.
