Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical drag chains, in particular to a drag chain for a lifting system with a protective mechanism. Background Art
[0002] A drag chain is a device that can restrain cables or wires or pneumatic and hydraulic pipes and facilitate their rotation and movement. It plays a role of protection and traction. It is widely used in application scenarios that require frequent movement or bending of cables, such as mechanical equipment, automation equipment, robots, etc.
[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a keel drag chain (publication number CN 214578614 U), which includes at least two sequentially connected joining blocks, characterized in that the joining block includes an inserting portion, a resisting block portion connected to the inserting portion, a socket portion connected to the resisting block portion, and a hinged portion connected to the socket portion; a cavity is arranged in the socket portion, the inserting portions of two adjacent joining blocks are correspondingly inserted in the cavity of the socket portion, and the inserting portion is hinged to the hinged portion; the resisting block portions are relatively arranged on both sides of the inserting portion, and when the inserting portion abuts against one side of the inner wall of the cavity, the resisting block portion on the same side abuts against the outer edge of the socket portion. The above-mentioned keel drag chain, by arranging the abutment parts on both sides of the plug-in part, makes the plug-in part abut against the inner wall of the socket part to provide supporting force while the abutment parts abut against the outer edge of the socket part to provide supporting force synchronously, ensuring that the plug-in part and the abutment parts provide supporting force at the same time, thereby improving the bearing capacity between the connecting blocks and improving the reliability of the keel drag chain. However, the patent does not provide a structure for limited position cables. Cables are often placed inside the drag chain equipment of the traditional lifting system, but multiple groups of cables are frequently moved or bent in the drag chain, and may shake or cross at will, resulting in chaos and disorder, affecting the performance and life of the cables, and causing safety hazards such as electrical failures, short circuits or fires.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0014] 1.

The spring setting has certain buffering and shock absorbing functions, which effectively reduces the impact of external shock or vibration on the cable.
[0015] 2. When the utility model is used, by setting the shielding plate, when the device is running in the lifting system, the two groups of keels at the bend stretch the shielding plate to both sides, so that the rotating wheel slides inside the expansion plate to reduce the gap between the shielding keels, avoid the cable from extending from the gap, keep the cable neat and safe, and reduce the friction and wear of the cable at the bend.
