Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable fixing technology, specifically to a fixing structure for a water pump cable. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial water pumps can be installed at depths of 5-10 meters. The water flow generated by the pump operation causes long-distance cables to swing back and forth in the water. As a result, the rubber protective layer of the cables is subjected to mutual friction and impact, which damages the rubber protective layer of the cables. In severe cases, this can lead to leakage or even damage to the water pump.

[0003] The common method is to suspend a steel wire rope above the water pump, then wrap a rubber insulating layer around the steel wire rope, and then use underwater tape to wrap the cable around the steel wire rope. This method is cumbersome to operate during installation. If water pump maintenance is needed, the underwater tape is difficult to remove and cannot be reused, resulting in high costs. On the other hand, wrapping the cable with tape makes the cable and steel wire rope relatively fixed, resulting in no room for the cable to move, which is not conducive to on-site installation. Utility Model Content

[0006] A fixing structure for a water pump cable includes a fixing body, wherein the fixing body has one or more receiving grooves circumferentially for accommodating the cable, and further includes a locking member for locking the cable in the receiving groove.

[0007] In this solution, when it is necessary to fix the cable, the cable is placed in the receiving groove of the fixing body, and then the cable is locked in the receiving groove by the locking device to fix the cable. The cables are isolated by the fixing body, which avoids mutual friction between the cables and damage to the rubber protective layer of the cables during installation, and reduces the risk of leakage. The fixing body is easy and quick to install and remove, can be reused, and is inexpensive.

[0008] Optionally, the fixing body is provided with multiple receiving grooves of different sizes around its circumference. The receiving grooves are semi-circular, and the multiple receiving grooves of different sizes are adapted to cables of different diameters.

[0009] Optionally, the fixing body includes a left fixing plate and a right fixing plate. The left fixing plate and the right fixing plate are joined together to form a circular fixing body. The fixing body is detachably connected to the steel wire rope above the water pump.

The through hole is composed of two semi-circular holes, which are distributed at the center of the opposite end faces of the left fixing plate and the right fixing plate.

[0011] Optionally, a connector is provided between the left fixing plate and the right fixing plate.

[0012] Optionally, the connector is a hinge, with one end of the hinge fixed to the lower or upper end of the left fixing plate and the other end of the hinge fixed to the lower or upper end of the right fixing plate.

[0013] Optionally, the connector is a connecting rod, with one end fixed to the right end face of the left fixing plate and the other end inserted into the connecting hole on the left end face of the right fixing plate.

[0014] Optionally, the connector is a hook and loop fastener, which includes a male hook and loop fastener and a female hook and loop fastener.

[0029] Example

[0030] A fixing structure for a water pump cable includes a fixing body 1, wherein the fixing body 1 has one or more receiving grooves 103 for accommodating the cable 4 in a circumferential direction, and further includes a locking member for locking the cable 4 in the receiving groove 103.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, when it is necessary to fix the cable 4, the cable 4 is placed in the receiving groove 103 of the fixing body 1, and then the cable 4 is locked in the receiving groove 103 by the locking member to fix the cable 4. The cables 4 are isolated from each other by the fixing body 1, which avoids the cables 4 rubbing against each other and damage to the rubber protective layer of the cables 4 during installation, and reduces the risk of leakage. The fixing body 1 is easy and quick to install and remove, can be reused, and is inexpensive.

[0032] Furthermore, the fixed body 1 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 103 of different sizes around its circumference. The receiving grooves 103 are semi-circular, and the plurality of receiving grooves 103 of different sizes are adapted to cables 4 of different diameters.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple receiving slots 103 of different sizes are designed to ensure that a matching slot can be found for fixing the cable 4 regardless of its thickness. This design avoids problems such as insecure fixing or excessive pressure on the cable 4 due to mismatched cable diameter. The semi-circular design better conforms to the shape of the cable 4, providing uniform support and fixation. Compared with other shapes (such as rectangles or squares), the semi-circular shape can better accommodate the bending and twisting of the cable 4, reducing stress concentration during the fixing process. Due to the variety of sizes of the receiving slots 103, this fixing structure can be applied to various types and specifications of cables 4. The reasonable design of the receiving slots 103 makes the installation and removal of the cable 4 simpler and faster.

[0034] When maintenance or replacement of cable 4 is required, the user can easily open the locking mechanism and remove cable 4 from the receiving slot 103 without damaging cable 4 or the fixing structure.

[0035] Furthermore, the fixing body 1 includes a left fixing plate 101 and a right fixing plate 102. When the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102 are joined together, they form a circular fixing body 1. The fixing body 1 is detachably connected to the steel wire rope 3 above the water pump.

[0036] Furthermore, the middle part of the fixed body 1 is provided with a through hole 2 that allows the steel wire rope 3 to pass through. The through hole 2 is composed of two semi-circular holes, which are distributed at the center of the opposite end faces of the left fixed plate 101 and the right fixed plate 102.

[0037] Specifically, the fixing body 1 consists of a left fixing plate 101 and a right fixing plate 102, which together form a circular structure. This design facilitates both manufacturing and easy installation and disassembly. The circular structure better accommodates the bending and distribution of the cable 4, while also providing stable support for the connection with the wire rope 3. By providing a through hole 2 in the middle of the fixing body 1 to allow the wire rope 3 to pass through, the structure can be easily connected to the wire rope 3 above the water pump. This detachable connection method allows for convenient replacement or maintenance of the cable 4 and wire rope 3 when needed, improving the maintainability of the equipment. The through hole 2 consists of two semi-circular holes, located at the center of the opposite end faces of the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102, respectively. This design allows the through hole 2 to automatically align when the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102 are closed, without the need for additional alignment steps. The circular fixing body 1 formed by the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102, together with the detachable connection to the wire rope 3 through the through hole 2, constitutes a stable and safe structure.

[0038] Furthermore, a connector is provided between the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102.

[0039] Furthermore, the connecting component is a hinge 5, one end of which is fixed to the lower or upper end of the left fixing plate 101, and the other end of which is fixed to the lower or upper end of the right fixing plate 102.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a hinge 5 is installed between the upper or lower ends of the left fixed plate 101 and the right fixed plate 102. The hinge 5 is connected and fixed to the left fixed plate 101 and the right fixed plate 102 respectively by screws. Through the action of the hinge 5, the left fixed plate 101 and the right fixed plate 102 can be opened and closed, which facilitates the disassembly of the wire rope 3.

[0041] Furthermore, the connecting member is a connecting rod 6, one end of which is fixed to the right end face of the left fixing plate 101, and the other end is inserted into the connecting hole 7 on the left end face of the right fixing plate 102.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a connecting rod 6 is fixed on the right end face of the left fixing plate 101, and a connecting hole 7 corresponding to the connecting rod 6 is opened on the left end face of the right fixing plate 102. When the two fixing plates are connected to the wire rope 3, the connecting rod 6 can be inserted into the connecting hole 7, which facilitates the disassembly of the wire rope 3.

[0043] Furthermore, the connector is a hook and loop fastener, which includes a male hook and loop fastener 8 and a female hook and loop fastener 9. The male hook and loop fastener 8 and the female hook and loop fastener 9 are respectively fixed to the opposite end faces of the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102. The male hook and loop fastener 8 has a hook side and the female hook and loop fastener 9 has a rough side.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connector uses Velcro, which consists of a male Velcro 8 (hook side) and a female Velcro 9 (loose side). These two parts are fixed to the opposite end faces of the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102, respectively. The hook and loose side design allows them to fit together easily while providing sufficient adhesive force to ensure a secure connection between the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102. The use of Velcro greatly simplifies the connection process between the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102. The user only needs to align the two and then press gently to achieve the connection. Compared with traditional screws, nuts, and other connection methods, Velcro can be operated without tools, greatly improving the convenience of installation. Velcro is not only easy to attach but also easy to detach. When it is necessary to remove the left fixing plate 101 and the right fixing plate 102, the user only needs to gently peel off the Velcro. This detachability allows the user to easily open the fixing body 1 when it is necessary to maintain or replace the cable 4 without damaging the cable 4 or the fixing structure. Hook and loop fasteners are typically made of high-quality nylon, offering excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance. Under normal use, they provide a stable connection that is not easily loosened or detached. As a common fastener, hook and loop fasteners are relatively inexpensive. Using them as fasteners can reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the fastening structure while providing reliable performance.

[0045] Furthermore, the locking element is sleeved on the outside of the cable 4, and the locking element is a rubber clamp or a rope.

[0046] Specifically, rubber clamps (not shown in the diagram) are existing products, typically made of elastic rubber, possessing good elasticity and wear resistance, and can tightly fit onto the cable 4, providing a stable fixation. Ropes are more flexible, allowing the cable 4 to be secured within the receiving groove 103 by knotting or wrapping, suitable for cables 4 of different diameters and shapes. Both rubber clamps and ropes are very convenient to use. Rubber clamps simply need to be slipped onto the cable 4 and their position adjusted, while ropes can be secured by knotting. This convenient locking method allows users to quickly install and remove the cable 4, improving work efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, a groove 104 is formed on the circumferential side wall of the fixed body 1 to limit the vertical displacement of the locking element.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a groove 104 is formed on the circumferential side wall of the fixed body 1. When the receiving groove 103 contains a small cable 4, the rubber clamp can be inserted into the groove 104. The groove 104 restricts the vertical displacement of the rubber clamp, ensuring that the rubber clamp can lock the cable 4 onto the fixed body 1 for a long time.

[0049] The principle of this invention: The fixing body 1 is approximately 5cm high, with slots 104 on its circumferential sidewalls for securing with rubber clamps. The fixing body 1 has four receiving slots 103 of different radii around its circumference, which can be used to fix cables 4 of different diameters. Since a water pump typically has no more than three cables 4, one fixing body 1 can secure all the water pump's cables 4. During installation, first tighten the steel wire rope 3, then insert the semi-circular holes on the left fixing plate 101 and right fixing plate 102 into the steel wire rope 3. Next, close the two fixing plates, then insert the water pump cables 4 into the appropriate receiving slots 103, and finally use rubber clamps to secure the cables 4 to the fixing body 1. One fixing body 1 is installed every meter between cables 4. When it is necessary to disassemble the water pump cables 4 later, the rubber clamps can be removed. This solution eliminates friction between cables 4 and between cables 4 and the steel wire rope 3, is easy to install and disassemble, reusable, and inexpensive.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model and within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
