When the mechanical damage is serious, the cable may fail, interrupt the production progress, and even cause safety accidents such as electric shock, fire, or explosion. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a cable assembly and a working machine to improve the reliability of the cable.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a cable assembly in one aspect, which comprises:

[0006] a cable comprising a cable rear section, a cable middle section, and a cable front section;

[0007] a support frame for fixing the cable rear section, the cable front section extending from a front end of the support frame;

[0008] a force transmission assembly comprising a fixed connection part fixedly connected to the cable front section and a force guide connection piece for force transmission connection between the fixed connection part and the support frame, the force transmission assembly being arranged such that the cable middle section is formed in a non-taut state between the front end of the support frame and the fixed connection part.

[0009] In some embodiments, the force transmission assembly comprises a fixed sleeve as the fixed connection part, the fixed sleeve being sleeved on the cable front section.

[0036] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0037] The cable assembly and working machine according to the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The present application discloses a novel cable assembly, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cable assembly in a specific embodiment includes:

[0039] a cable 600 including a rear cable section 630, a middle cable section 620 and a front cable section 610;

[0040] a support frame 100 for fixing the rear cable section 630, the front cable section 610 extending from a front end of the support frame 100;

[0041] a force transmission assembly including a fixed connecting part 200 fixedly connected to the front cable section 610 and a force guiding connecting part 300 for transmitting force between the fixed connecting part 200 and the support frame 100, the force transmission assembly being arranged such that the middle cable section 620 is formed in a non-taut manner between the front end of the support frame 100 and the fixed connecting part 200.

[0042] Referring to Figure 2In order to avoid the abrasion of the cable 600 and the support frame 100 caused by the obvious relative movement, the support frame 100 only fixes the cable rear section 630, and the cable front section 610 is fixed by the fixed connecting part 200 of the force transmission connecting assembly. After the carrier moves and first pulls the cable front section 610, the cable front section 610 cannot continue to pull the cable rear section 630, so as to avoid the relative movement between the cable rear section 630 and the support frame 100. Compared with the prior art which only uses the cable support to fix the cable 600, the present application limits the movement of the cable 600 to the cable front section 610 through the design of the force transmission connecting assembly, so as to avoid the failure of the cable 600 caused by the abrasion with the support frame 100, thereby significantly improving the service life and reliability of the cable 600.

[0043] Those skilled in the art can understand that the fixed connecting part 200 for fixing the cable front section 610 can be in various forms, such as a sleeve or a clamping groove.

[0044] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the force transmission connecting assembly includes a fixed sleeve as the fixed connecting part 200, which is sleeved on the cable front section 610. In this way, the fixed connecting part 200 can stably fix the cable front section 610, so as to avoid the movement of the cable 600 being transmitted to the cable rear section 630 to cause the relative movement between the cable rear section 630 and the support frame 100, thereby avoiding the abrasion of the cable 600.

[0045] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , the central axis of the fixed sleeve is in the form of a circular arc.

[0046] The fixed sleeve with the central axis in the form of a circular arc can more adaptively fit the curved surface of the cable 600 to reduce the internal stress generated by the deformation of the cable 600, thereby reducing the possibility of failure of the cable front section 610 caused by excessive local internal stress.

[0047] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , the force transmission connecting assembly further includes a soft pad 400, which is arranged between the fixed sleeve and the cable front section 610. The soft pad 400 can provide a larger contact area for the cable front section 610, so as to better fix the cable front section 610 and reduce the contact pressure between the fixed sleeve and the cable front section 610 to protect the cable front section 610.

[0048] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the fixing sleeve is a split sleeve along the cross section of the sleeve axis and comprises a detachably connected first half sleeve 210 and a second half sleeve 220. In this way, the first half sleeve 210 and the second half sleeve 220 can jointly clamp the cable front section 610, and the detachable first half sleeve 210 and the second half sleeve 220 facilitate the fixing sleeve to be applicable to cables 600 of different outer diameters and also facilitate the adjustment of the fixing position of the fixing sleeve relative to the cable 600.

[0049] In the present embodiment, as shown, Figure 3 The first half sleeve 210 and the second half sleeve 220 are provided with ear hinge connecting portions 240 in a position opposite to each other, and the ear hinge connecting portions 240 are connected through a fastening connecting member 230. In this way, the fixing sleeve structure is not only simple but also can stably fix the cable 600, and is also convenient to disassemble, thereby facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the operator.

[0050] In order to better isolate the movement of the cable 600 from the cable rear section 630, the force guiding connecting member 300 can be in various forms, such as a swing rod or a rigging, so that the fixing sleeve can follow the cable front section 610 to move to a certain extent and adjust the posture of the cable front section 610 to reduce the maximum bending degree of the cable 600, thereby reducing the internal stress of the cable 600. In the present embodiment, as shown, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The force guiding connecting member 300 is a connecting steel wire rope.

[0051] Specifically, after the movement of the carrier, the cable front section 610 follows the movement and appears bending and dragging deformation. Since the force guiding connecting member 300 is a connecting steel wire rope, the fixing sleeve has a high degree of freedom and can follow the cable front section 610 to move to a certain extent, so that when the bending and dragging deformation degree of the cable front section 610 is too large, a certain deformation can occur in the high stress area to release the stress in the area, so as to ensure that the cable 600 can evenly share the deformation as much as possible, i.e., to reduce the maximum stress in the cable 600. In this way, the force guiding connecting member 300 can greatly improve the service life and reliability of the cable front section 610; after the cable front section 610 has evenly shared the deformation as much as possible, the pulling effect of the cable front section 610 on the cable rear section 630 can also be reduced, thereby strengthening the protection of the cable rear section 630. In addition, since the force guiding connecting member 300 is a connecting steel wire rope, the fixing sleeve has a high degree of freedom and can well adapt to different deformations caused by the movement of the cable 600 in different directions.

[0052] Of course, the force guiding connecting member 300 is not limited to a steel wire rope, but can also be a connecting belt or a connecting chain, and the material selection of the force guiding connecting member 300 can also be various, such as a composite elastic material. The form of the force guiding connecting member 300 can also be various, such as a swing rod with one end connected to the fixing sleeve and the other end pivotally connected to the support frame 100.

[0053] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cable assembly comprises:

[0054] The suspension steel wire rope 500 is used for suspending the mounting support frame 100.

[0055] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , one end of the support frame 100 is connected with a carrier (not shown in the figure), and the other end of the support frame 100 is suspended by the suspension steel wire rope 500 connected with the carrier, so as to realize the fixation of the support frame 100. In this way, not only the disassembly and assembly of the support frame 100 can be facilitated, but also the vertical angle of the support frame 100 can be changed by adjusting the length of the suspension steel wire rope, thereby improving the applicability of the cable assembly to different operation scenarios. The number of the suspension steel wire ropes is two, which respectively extend to both sides of the width direction of the support frame 100. In this way, the horizontal angle of the support frame 100 can also be changed by adjusting the length of the suspension steel wire rope, and the structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.

[0056] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the support frame 100 is provided with a plurality of cable fixing clamps 110 arranged in sequence and at intervals along the wiring direction of the cable 600. In this way, the fixation of the cable 600 relative to the support frame 100 can be conveniently realized.

[0057] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , the support frame 100 is a rod member, the support frame 100 is provided with a plurality of cable fixing clamps 110 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the support frame 100, the cable 600 is installed along the length direction on the interval arrangement, and is connected with the support frame 100 through the cable fixing clamps 110, wherein the cable fixing clamps 110 are detachably connected with the support frame 100 through bolts penetrating the mounting holes of the cable fixing clamps 110 and the fixing holes of the support frame 100.

[0058] Of course, the fixation mode of the cable 600 relative to the support frame 100 is not limited to the above mode, after the front segment 610 of the cable is stably fixed, the rear segment 630 of the cable can also be clamped to the support frame 100 only through the elastically arranged cable fixing clamps 110. Other fixation modes of the cable 600 relative to the support frame 100 will not be described here.

[0059] The application discloses a novel operation machine, and the operation machine in one specific embodiment comprises the above-mentioned cable assembly.

[0060] The cable assembly is detachably arranged on the track frame of the working machine through a quick release assembly such as a bolt, and the fixed end of the suspension wire rope 500 is also arranged on the working machine, so that the cable assembly is arranged on the working machine conveniently and flexibly, and the installation steps and required manpower of the cable assembly are simplified. In addition, the cable assembly can also improve the safety and reliability of the working machine, reduce the possibility of electrical failure, electric shock, fire and even explosion accidents, and ensure the safety of personnel and the continuity of work. Obviously, the working machine also has all the technical effects of the above-mentioned cable assembly, so here is not repeated.
