Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tool technology, and in particular to a cable following and fixing mechanism for an electric excavator operating in an anode workshop. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, the electric excavator used in the anode workshop needs to move back and forth in the work area. When it moves, the cable needs to move with it. A cable travel track is installed on the back of its activity area. The cable is fixed to the cable trolley. The cable is pulled by the rope at the rear of the excavator to move the cable trolley on the track.
[0003] In excavator operation, in addition to straight-line travel, turning is also required. Since the cable-carrying trolley is only suitable for straight-line travel and cannot turn, the cable cannot change direction when the excavator turns, often resulting in cable damage and internal breakage, forming a circuit. The failure rate is high, and the entire cable needs to be replaced during maintenance, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, directly affecting the normal operation of the entire process. Therefore, this utility model proposes a cable following and fixing mechanism for electric excavator operation in an anode workshop to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
