For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 9 The utility model provides a drag chain structure, which can solve the defect that the drag chain structure in the prior art can only bend in one direction and is not suitable for the structure of wiring inside the C-shaped arm / G-shaped arm.

[0029] The utility model provides a drag chain structure, comprising: a plurality of mutually connected drag chain blocks 10, wherein the plurality of drag chain blocks 10 are mutually connected to form a drag chain body;

[0030] Among them, a ball portion 20 is provided at the connection of the front end of each drag chain block 10, and a concave ball portion 30 is provided at the connection of the rear end of each drag chain block 10. The ball portion 20 on each drag chain block 10 is rotatably set on the concave ball portion 30 of the previous drag chain block 10, so that the drag chain body can realize a small turning radius movement and another drag chain body in a vertical direction to the small turning radius can realize a large radius turn.

[0031] Among them, cables can be arranged inside the drag chain body, and the drag chain body is located in the C-shaped arm / G-shaped arm. The ball part 20 and the concave ball part 30 are both spherical and concave ball structures. After the two are connected, a small turning radius movement can be achieved, and the other can also have freedom in the direction perpendicular to it, thereby realizing a large radius turning of the drag chain body and its internal wiring harness.

[0032] The utility model provides a drag chain structure, which is formed by connecting a plurality of drag chain blocks 10 to each other, and the plurality of drag chain blocks 10 are connected to each other to form a drag chain body; a ball portion 20 is provided at the connection of the front end of each drag chain block 10, and a concave ball portion 30 is provided at the connection of the rear end of each drag chain block 10, and the ball portion 20 on each drag chain block 10 is rotatably arranged on the concave ball portion 30 of the previous drag chain block 10, so that the drag chain body can realize a small turning radius movement and another drag chain body in a perpendicular direction to the small turning radius can realize a large radius turning setting, so the drag chain structure of the present application can realize bending in two perpendicular directions to match the structure of the internal wiring of the C-shaped arm / G-shaped arm. Therefore, the utility model solves the defect that the drag chain structure of the prior art can only bend in one direction and is not suitable for the structure of the internal wiring of the C-shaped arm / G-shaped arm.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 to Figure 4 Optionally, both sides of the ball portion 20 and the concave ball portion 30 are provided with limiting steps 60, so that the drag chain body bends in the first direction to achieve a small turning radius movement.

[0034] The limiting step 60 enables the small turning radius to reach the designed dimension value, and the specific value can be determined according to the needs. The setting of the limiting step 60 can prevent the drag chain body from bending in the opposite direction, that is, the opposite direction of the first direction.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 Optionally, the front end face and the rear end face of each drag chain block 10 are set as an inclined surface 40 and a vertical surface 50, so that the drag chain body bends in the second direction B to achieve a large radius turn, and the inclination direction of the inclined surface 40 is in the same direction as the second direction B.

[0036] The limitation of the inclined surface 40 and the vertical surface 50 can control the size of the large turning radius to be within a desired fixed range.

[0037] Reference Fig. 9 Optionally, each ball portion 20 and concave ball portion 30 is provided with a circular hole 90, and the ball portion 20 on each drag chain block 10 is rotatably set on the concave ball portion 30 of the previous drag chain block 10 through a pin or bolt 80 passing through the corresponding circular hole 90.

[0038] Reference Figure 8 Optionally, the circular hole 90 on each ball portion 20 is arc-shaped with large ends and a small middle.

[0039] Among them, the above-mentioned arrangement can improve the degree of freedom between two adjacent drag chain blocks 10 without being too high. Each drag chain block can be twisted slightly to achieve bending in another direction. In addition, due to the limitation of the inclined surface 40 and the vertical surface 50, and the middle narrowest point of the arc-shaped circular hole 90 on the ball part 20 and the cooperation with the pin shaft or bolt 80, the large turn of the drag chain body can be supported in the reverse direction and will not bend.

[0040] Reference Figure 6 to Figure 7 Optionally, three side surfaces of the drag chain block 10 away from the ball portion 20 and the concave ball portion 30 are provided with slide grooves, and a slide shaft is provided in the slide groove, and the pulley 70 is mounted on the slide shaft.

[0041] The above arrangement enables the drag chain body to slide smoothly in the C-arm / G-arm track, and the cable to slide smoothly when entering the inside of the drag chain body.
