AI Technical Summary
Existing cable joint clamps cannot provide tension when the loosening and tightening nut comes loose, causing the cable to easily fall off the structure and the screws to be easily lost, increasing maintenance risks.
A cable connector clamping device is designed, comprising a handle rod, connector rod, lug, tension spring, U-shaped connector, locking bolt, and locking rod. The tension spring provides micro-tension to maintain cable tension, and a safety hole and safety pin prevent tool loss.
It effectively maintains the slight tension of the steel cable at the moment the tension sleeve disengages, preventing the steel cable from falling, reducing manual intervention, lowering the risk of tool loss, and improving maintenance safety.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aviation maintenance, in particular to a steel cable joint clamping device capable of maintaining the micro tension of a steel cable. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the flight control system, landing gear retraction system, nose wheel steering system of modern aircraft and the early engine control system, the signal transmission mode includes mechanical transmission, electrical signal transmission, optical fiber transmission and their combination. Mechanical transmission is further divided into soft transmission and hard transmission, among which soft transmission is mainly steel cable and hard transmission is mainly hard rod. Due to the large volume and weight of hard transmission, it is difficult to arrange flexibly in the aircraft, and is only used in some local areas. In contrast, soft transmission has the advantages of flexible traversal through each corner of the aircraft, light weight and small volume. In addition, compared with electrical signal transmission and optical fiber transmission, soft (steel cable) transmission has stronger survivability, so soft (steel cable) transmission system is still used on modern aircraft.
[0003] In order to ensure the reliability of the transmission system, the steel cable needs to be checked regularly. Common faults of the steel cable in use include wear, broken wire, jamming and corrosion. When replacing the steel cable, a clamp is needed to fix the steel cable joints at both ends of the tension nut, and then a tool is used to rotate the tension nut, so that the tension nut can be disconnected from the two ends of the steel cable. However, manual tensioning of the steel cable is required to ensure a certain micro tension during this process. Patent No. 202320776043.3, an aviation steel cable pre-tensioning adjustment device, is widely used in civil aviation maintenance practice. The patent technology uses a chain type steel cable joint clamp to clamp two steel cable joints, and then cooperates with a small cross-shaped cutter or a small one-shaped cutter to rotate the tension nut to disassemble the steel cable. Since the chain type clamp cannot provide any tensioning force when the tension nut is completely disconnected from the steel cable joint, additional personnel are needed to manually tension the two steel cable joints at this moment, otherwise the steel cable may fall off the structure. In addition, if the user operates improperly, the two screws 23 matched with the steel cable joint may be separated from the U-shaped block 22 and lost, which brings certain risk to the maintenance work.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a steel cable joint clamping device capable of keeping the micro tension of steel cable, including handle rod, joint connecting rod, lug, tension spring, U type joint, locking bolt, locking thin rod, both ends of the handle rod are connected with the joint connecting rod through the hinged connection mode, the lug is fixedly arranged on the position of the joint connecting rod far from the handle rod, the tension spring is fixedly connected between the lug, one end of the joint connecting rod far from the handle rod is fixedly connected with the U type joint, the threaded hole on the U type joint is used for installing the locking bolt, the locking bolt is provided with an insurance hole and can install the safety pin, the locking thin rod is fixedly connected on the side of the locking bolt far from the nut.
[0006] Preferably, the threaded portion of the locking bolt is provided with an insurance hole for installing a safety pin.
[0007] Preferably, the diameter of the locking thin rod is less than the diameter of the steel cable joint mounting hole, and the length of the locking thin rod is greater than the depth of the steel cable joint mounting hole.
[0008] Preferably, the distance between the two locking thin rods is less than the length of the tension nut in the natural state of the tension spring.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that: after the tension nut is completely separated from the two steel cable joints, due to the tensioning force of the tension spring, a certain micro tension still exists in the two steel cables, the steel cable can be effectively prevented from falling off from the structure at the moment when the tension nut is completely separated from the two steel cable joints, the locking bolt on the U type joint becomes an integral whole with the U type joint through the insurance hole and the safety pin, and the loss of small parts on the utility model tool can be effectively avoided.
