DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 11The illustrated embodiment of a cable arm with a protective function includes a fixing base 11, a rotating arm 12, a detection device 13, a locking device 14, and a limit switch 15. The fixing base 11 is mounted on a cage 21 and is connected to one end of the rotating arm 12 via a first rotating shaft 19. The rotating arm 12 can rotate about the first rotating shaft 19, and the other end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the detection device 13.

[0033] The fixing base 11 includes a fixing rod 111 and a first clamping plate 112 and a second clamping plate 113. The first clamping plate 112 and the second clamping plate 113 are on both sides of the fixing rod 111. The first clamping plate 112 and the second clamping plate 113 are provided with a waist-shaped long hole and a through hole for passing the first rotating shaft 19. A gap is left between the first clamping plate 112 and the second clamping plate 113 to pass the power supply cable 18 and the installation rotating arm 12. At least one clamping plate is provided with a limit switch 15.

[0034] The rotating arm 12 includes an arm 121, a sleeve 122 and a limit plate 123. The arm 121 is a box-shaped rectangular structure with two open ends. A limit plate 123 is provided in the middle of the arm 121. One end of the arm 121 is connected to the first clamping plate 112 and the second clamping plate 113, and the other end is connected to the sleeve 122. The sleeve 122 is circular and has a sealing plate with a circular hole at the bottom. The upper end of the arm 121 is provided with a second rotating shaft 20.

[0035] The detection device 13 includes a connecting rod 131, a pressure plate 132, a detection spring 133 and a cable fixing device 134. The connecting rod 131 has a thread at one end and a lug at the other end. The pressure plate 132 and the detection spring 133 are sleeved outside the connecting rod 131 and connected by nuts. The cable fixing device 134 is connected to the lug by bolts.

[0036] When the cable is pulled downward, the connecting rod compresses the spring via the pressure plate. The displacement and compression of the spring detect the cable tension. Bolts are installed on connecting rod 131, which compress pressure plate 132 and detection spring 133 to adjust the preload of the detection spring. If the tension is too great, exceeding the preload of the detection spring, the connecting rod continues to compress the detection spring downward, triggering the locking mechanism.

[0037] The locking device 14 includes a locking link 141, a locking block rod 142, a thrust spring 143, a sleeve 144 and a tightening screw 145. One end of the locking link 141 is connected to the connecting rod 131 of the detection device 13 by a nut, and the other end is a structure with a bent hook. A through hole is provided in the middle of the locking link 141, and the locking link is connected to the second rotating shaft 20 through the through hole. The locking block rod 142 is inserted into the waist-shaped long hole of the fixing seat 11, and thrust springs 143 are provided on both sides of the locking block rod 142. The end of the thrust spring is installed in the sleeve 144, and a spring groove is provided on the rotating arm. The tightening screw 145 is screwed on the spring groove of the rotating arm 12 and tightens the sleeve 144. A hook is provided in the middle of the locking baffle 142 to cooperate with the structure with the hook of the locking link 141. The hook of the locking baffle 142 can be hung with the structure with the hook of the locking link 141. The thrust spring pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the jacking screw 145. During normal operation, the locking bar and locking link are hooked together via a hook, with the locking bar blocking the rotating arm and compressing the thrust spring. If the cable is subjected to excessive force, the detection device pulls one end of the locking link downward, causing the locking link to rotate and unlock its hook with the locking bar. The locking bar is then pushed open by the thrust spring and releases its blockage of the rotating arm.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the device 1 is installed on the cage 21 through the fixing seat 11, one end of the power supply cable 18 is in the cable drum 22, and the other end is fixed and passes through the device 1 to supply power to the cage 21.

[0039] In the above technical solution, a guide plate 124 is connected to the bottom surface of the arm 121. The guide plate 124 is a V-shaped structure, which is convenient for passing the cable guard.

[0040] In the above technical solution, the locking lever 142 includes a rod body 1421, a hook 1423, and a baffle 1422. The baffles 1422 are mounted at both ends of the rod body 1421 and are larger than the cross-section of the rod body. The hook 1423 is mounted in the middle of the rod body 1421. During installation, the rod body 1421 slides within the waist-shaped elongated hole of the fixing base 11. The two baffles 1422 clamp the rod body 1421 to prevent it from falling out, and the hook is fixed in the middle of the lever.

[0041] In the above technical solution, the cable fixing device 134 is a cable clamp or a cable net.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the limit switch 15 is one of a rocker-type limit switch, a proximity switch, and a photoelectric switch.

[0043] In the above technical solution, a rubber guard plate 17 is provided above the locking link 141 .

[0044] In the above technical solution, a protective cover 16 is provided on the arm 121 .

[0045] The protective cover 16 and the rubber guard 17 can prevent foreign matter from entering the interior of the cable arm and affecting the function of the locking device. At the same time, they can also easily pass through the cable guard ring to reduce damage to the cable guard ring.

[0046] like Figure 12 As shown, when the cage is ascending, the power supply cable 18 is caught by a foreign object, causing excessive tension. The detection device 13 compresses the detection spring 133 and pulls the locking link 141 downward. The locking link 141 and the locking stop bar 142 are no longer hooked together. The thrust spring 143 pushes the locking stop bar 142 to slide away from the rotating arm 12. The rotating arm 12 loses its restriction and rotates downward. The limit plate 123 leaves the proximity switch 15, and the cage 21 stops running immediately after receiving the signal from the limit switch 15. The rotating arm 12 rotates to release the power supply cable 18 at one end, ensuring that the power supply cable 18 is not damaged before the cage 21 stops.

[0047] like Figure 13 As shown, when the cage descends, a foreign object caught on the power cable 18 pulls the rotating arm 12 upward, causing the rotating arm 12 to rotate upward, and the limit plate 123 to move away from the limit switch 15. The cage 21 immediately stops after receiving the signal from the limit switch 15. The rotating arm 12 rotates to release a length of the power cable 18 at one end, ensuring that the power cable 18 is not damaged before the cage 21 stops.

[0048] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
