Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drag chain structures, and more specifically, to a drag chain structure that can be opened quickly. Background Art

[0002] Traditional drag chain structures usually adopt more complicated connection methods. For example, when connecting the side panels, they often rely on a large number of bolts and nuts for fastening. This connection method is not only cumbersome to install and requires a lot of manpower and time costs, but also extremely inconvenient to disassemble when the internal drag chain needs to be inspected, maintained or the pipeline needs to be replaced. Due to the tightness of the bolt and nut connection, special tools are often required for operation, and problems such as thread wear and thread slippage are prone to occur, affecting the stability and service life of the drag chain structure.

[0003] At the same time, traditional drag chains lack flexibility in the connection design between the crossbars and side panels. Once installed, it is difficult to achieve quick opening and closing operations. This will undoubtedly greatly reduce work efficiency and increase equipment downtime in some scenarios where frequent adjustments to the internal pipeline layout of the drag chain or emergency repairs to equipment are required, leading to production interruptions and economic losses to the company.

[0004] In addition, some existing drag chain structures have deficiencies in the stability of component connections. During long-term use, due to factors such as equipment vibration and movement impact, the connection parts are prone to loosening and deformation, affecting the drag chain's protection effect on the pipeline, and may even cause safety hazards such as pipeline wear and breakage. It cannot meet the modern industrial production requirements for efficient, convenient and reliable use of drag chains.

[0005] To this end, the present application proposes a drag chain structure that can be opened quickly to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a drag chain structure that can be opened quickly.

[0007] The present application provides a drag chain structure capable of rapid opening, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A drag chain structure capable of rapid opening, comprising:

[0009] Side panels, each of which is a group of two, each group including a first side panel and a second side panel, each group of side panels being fixedly connected by chain links; a plurality of the side panels being movably connected to each other to form a drag chain;

[0010] A first card slot is provided on the outer side surface of the top of the first side panel, with the notch of the first card slot facing the outer side surface, and the top of the first card slot passes through the notch of the first side panel; an elastic buckle is provided on the top of the second side panel;

[0011] A cross bar, wherein the left end of the cross bar is provided with a first T-shaped clip matching the first slot, and the right end of the cross bar is provided with a clip hole; the end of the first T-shaped clip is movably set in the first slot, and the narrower end of the first T-shaped clip is engaged in the notch; the elastic clip is engaged in the clip hole.

[0012] Furthermore, a second T-shaped clip is provided at the right end of the cross bar, and a second slot matching the second T-shaped clip is provided at the top of the second side panel. The notch of the second slot extends upward and horizontally through the second side panel, and the elastic buckle is located in the second slot.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the stability of the connection between the cross bar and the side panel is further enhanced, making the connection between the components of the entire drag chain structure more reliable during use, reducing looseness and the like, and the elastic clip is located in the second card slot, making the overall structure more compact and reasonable, which helps to improve the stability and durability of the drag chain.

[0014] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] (1) Through the unique connection structure between the crossbar and the side panel, the crossbar can be fully opened when rotated 90 degrees, and the crossbar can be removed by rotating 180 degrees, which is convenient for operation and maintenance inside the drag chain, meeting the customer's demand for quick opening of the drag chain;

[0016] (2) There are springs at the crossbar buckle to make the installation more secure. At the same time, the chain links of the drag chain are connected through holes and shafts, which not only ensures the stability of the connection between the components, but also saves time and facilitates the rapid installation of the drag chain, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of the use of the drag chain as a whole.
