The first end and the second end are two opposite ends of the left sleeve 10.
[0041] With reference to Figures 1-3 , Figures 6-8 , the tapered plug 20 is movably arranged in the left sleeve 10. In the embodiment, the tapered plug 20 comprises a circular ring segment 21, a tapered segment 22 and a spring positioning ring 23. The circular ring segment 21 is connected to the small-diameter end of the tapered segment 22, and the spring positioning ring 23 is arranged on the end face of the large-diameter end of the tapered segment 22. The tapered segment 22 is arranged to be matched with the tapered hole segment 13 of the left sleeve 10. The tapered plug 20 is provided with a second central through hole 24 penetrating the tapered plug 20 in the axial direction, and the tapered segment 22 is provided with a plurality of ball holes 25 extending inward from the outer tapered surface of the tapered segment 22 to communicate with the second central through hole 24. The ball holes 25 can cooperate with the balls 30, so that the balls 30 can be movably matched with the ball holes 25. In the embodiment, the ball holes 25 are provided with three, but not limited to this, the ball holes 25 can be provided with two; or the ball holes 25 are provided with four or more, which will make the tapered plug 20 have a larger volume.

The first outer threaded segment 51 can be matched with the first inner threaded segment 15. The first outer threaded segment 51 and the second outer threaded segment 52 are respectively located at two ends of the extension piece 50 away from each other, and the screw directions of the first outer threaded segment 51 and the second outer threaded segment 52 are opposite. For example, the first outer threaded segment 51 is left-handed thread, and the second outer threaded segment 52 is right-handed thread; or vice versa. The length of the second outer threaded segment 52 is greater than that of the first outer threaded segment 51. The extension piece 50 is also provided with a third central through hole 53 penetrating the extension piece 50 in the axial direction. The two ends of the spring 40 respectively abut against the tapered plug 20 and the extension piece 50. The end of the extension piece 50 facing the first outer threaded segment 51 is also provided with a spring positioning groove 54. The spring positioning ring 23 and the spring positioning groove 54 respectively position the two ends of the spring 40.
[0044] With reference to Figures 1-3 , Figure 11 , Figure 12The right sleeve 60 comprises a right sleeve body 61 and a stopper 62 arranged at the first end of the right sleeve body 61. The diameter of the stopper 62 is greater than the diameter of the through hole 3 on the railing post 2, so as to limit the position of the steel wire rope locking device 1 on the railing post 2. The stopper 62 is provided with an actuating structure 63 which can be used to rotate and actuate the right sleeve 60. In the embodiment, the actuating structure 63 is a polygonal groove 63, such as a hexagonal groove, arranged on the stopper 62. However, it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the stopper 62 is integrally formed as a polygonal structure, and the polygonal edge of the stopper 62 forms the actuating structure 63. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the actuating structure 63 can also be other non-circular structures. However, in other embodiments, the actuating structure 63 can also not be provided, and the right sleeve 60 is clamped by a tool to achieve rotation and actuation of the right sleeve 60.
[0045] In the embodiment, a second internal thread segment 64 is further arranged in the right sleeve 60 and extends inwardly from the second end of the right sleeve body 61. The second external thread segment 52 can be adapted to the second internal thread segment 64.
[0046] When installing, the balls 30 are loaded into the ball holes 25 of the conical plug 20, and preferably, the balls 30 are coated with butter (with viscosity) to facilitate the loading of the balls 30 into the ball holes 25. The conical plug 20 is placed into the left sleeve 10, and then the spring 40 is placed in, and then the extension piece 50 is screwed into the left sleeve 10, at this time the spring 40 will squeeze the conical plug 20 to move towards the conical hole section 13 of the left sleeve 10, and the balls 30 on the conical plug 20 will be pushed due to the narrowing of the conical inner wall of the conical hole section 13 of the left sleeve 10, and the balls 30 will move towards the center of the conical plug 20 and approach each other. At this time, the steel wire rope 4 can be threaded in the locking device 1, and the balls 30 move towards the center of the conical plug 20 and squeeze the steel wire rope 4 threaded in the locking device 1, achieving the effect of locking the steel wire rope 4. Then the right sleeve 60 is screwed into the extension piece 50, at this time it can not be tightened. The preliminarily assembled locking device 1 is installed into the through hole 3 of the stand 2, and the steel wire rope 4 can also not be threaded into the locking device 1 in the previous operation process, but is threaded into the locking device 1 at this time, and the limiting part 11 of the left sleeve 10 is fixed on the left side of the stand 2 with a tool, and the polygonal slot 63 of the right sleeve 60 is inserted into the right side of the stand 2 with a tool, and the right sleeve 60 is rotated and tightened, because the extension piece 50 includes threads with opposite rotation directions, during the rotation process, the left sleeve 10 and the right sleeve 60 at the left and right ends of the extension piece 50 move horizontally in opposite directions / away from each other. Therefore, when the right sleeve 60 is rotated from one direction, the rotation of the threads of the right sleeve 60 will drive the rotation of the extension piece 50, so that the threads of the extension piece 50 are further screwed into the left sleeve 10, thereby further locking the steel wire rope 4. After locking the steel wire rope 4, continuing to rotate the right sleeve 60 can achieve the effect of tensioning the steel wire rope 4. The locking operation of the locking device 1 is simple, and ordinary tools can be used for locking, and general users can operate.
[0047] After installation is completed, the only part of the locking device 1 that is exposed outside the stand 2 is the stop part 62 of the right sleeve 60.
[0048] Preferably, the ball holes 25 are uniformly distributed along the outer circumferential surface of the conical section 22, which is more balanced for the clamping force of the steel wire rope 4.
[0049] Preferably, the outer diameter of the left sleeve 10 is equal to the outer diameter of the right sleeve body 61 of the right sleeve 60, and here the equal includes strict equality and approximate equality, thereby facilitating the locking device 1 to pass through the through hole 3 of the stand 2.
[0050] When the steel wire rope 4 needs to be taken out, the left end of the conical plug 20 is pushed by a hollow tool inserted into the left sleeve 10, so that the conical plug 20 moves away from the conical hole section 13 of the left sleeve 10, and the balls 30 loosen the steel wire rope 4, and the steel wire rope 4 can be easily pulled out, so that the unlocking operation of the steel wire rope 4 is also very convenient.
[0051] Although the utility model is specifically shown and introduced in combination with the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes can be made to the utility model in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model defined in the appended claims, and all of them are within the protection scope of the utility model.
