Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optoelectronic pod technology, and in particular to a cable protection device based on the top of a slip ring and an optoelectronic pod. Background Technology
[0002] In order for the optoelectronic pod to obtain images from multiple angles, it is usually necessary for the optoelectronic pod to be able to rotate 360°. In order to avoid the large-angle rotation of the optoelectronic pod from affecting the signal transmission, a slip ring is installed in the optoelectronic pod to ensure the stability of the signal transmission.
[0003] In related technologies, slip rings are mostly made of metal and all have top-out cables, with various top-out cable forms. However, in the top space of the optoelectronic pod, the available space is small due to the large number of modules, making it difficult to constrain the slip ring cables. As a result, when the pod vibrates or other conditions that cause the cables to sway, the stability of the cable connection can be affected, thus affecting the normal operation of the optoelectronic pod. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a cable protection device and a photoelectric pod based on the top of a slip ring, which aims to prevent the stability of the cable connection from being affected by the vibration of the pod by constraining the slip ring cable.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a cable protection device based on the top of a slip ring, comprising:
[0006] The clamp has multiple supports spaced apart on the edge of its side circular opening;
[0007] The bracket extends away from the clamp and has fixing holes.
[0008] In one embodiment, the bracket includes a base plate and a side plate, the base plate being connected to the edge of the circular opening on the side of the clamp, and the side plate being connected to the side of the base plate;
[0009] The base plate and the side plate together form a fixing groove.
[0010] In one embodiment, the fixing hole is provided on the side plate.
[0011] In one embodiment, there are two side plates, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the base plate, and the two fixing holes are disposed opposite to each other.
[0012] In one embodiment, the clamp includes a first clamp ring and a second clamp ring, wherein the first clamp ring is connected to one end of the second clamp ring;
[0013] The brackets are arranged in a ring around the edge of the second hoop and are located on the side of the second hoop away from the first hoop.
[0014] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the second hoop increases in a direction away from the first hoop, so that the inner wall of the second hoop is inclined in a direction away from the center of the second hoop.
[0015] In one embodiment, the inclination direction of the side plate toward the side of the second hoop is the same as the inclination direction of the inner wall of the second hoop.
[0016] In one embodiment, the connection between the bracket and the second hoop is arc-shaped.
[0017] In one embodiment, the connection between the first hoop and the second hoop is smoothly transitioned.
[0018] This utility model also proposes an optoelectronic pod, including a cable protection device based on the top of a slip ring.
[0019] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting a clamp and fitting it onto a slip ring. The wires on the slip ring pass through the clamp and emerge. Multiple wires are then overlapped on supports facing different directions according to the direction of the modules to be connected. Cable ties are passed through fixing holes and fixed to the supports. By rationally arranging the supports along the edge of the clamp, the wires of the slip ring are constrained, preventing the slip ring wires from affecting the stability of the connection due to the vibration of the pod. Furthermore, the clamp and supports orderly arrange multiple slip ring wires, reducing the proportion of the slip ring wires in the unknown space above the pod and improving space utilization.

[0031] In order for the optoelectronic pod to obtain images from multiple angles, it is usually necessary for the optoelectronic pod to be able to rotate 360°. In order to avoid the large-angle rotation of the optoelectronic pod from affecting the signal transmission, a slip ring is installed in the optoelectronic pod to ensure the stability of the signal transmission.
[0032] In related technologies, slip rings are mostly made of metal and all have top-out cables, with various top-out cable forms. However, in the top space of the optoelectronic pod, the available space is small due to the large number of modules, making it difficult to constrain the slip ring cables. As a result, when the pod vibrates or other conditions that cause the cables to sway, the stability of the cable connection can be affected, thus affecting the normal operation of the optoelectronic pod.
[0033] This utility model proposes a cable protection device based on the top of a slip ring.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the cable protection device based on the top of the slip ring includes:
[0035] The clamp has multiple brackets 40 spaced apart on the edge of its side circular opening;
[0036] The bracket 40 extends away from the clamp, and a fixing hole 41 is provided on the bracket 40.
[0037] It should be noted that different optoelectronic pods have different module distributions in their top space and different orientations of the slip ring exit wires. Therefore, multiple brackets 40 are arranged on the edge of the circular opening on the side of the clamp according to the orientation of the modules to be connected.
[0038] Preferably, the multiple brackets 40 are distributed in a tree-like manner on the side edge of the clamp, thereby reasonably constraining the slip ring lead-out through the tree-like structure and leaving a certain space for structural assembly.
[0039] Furthermore, by arranging the multiple supports 40 in a tree-like distribution, it is easier to rationally plan and layout the top space of the pod based on the tree-like distribution of the multiple supports 40, effectively increasing the top space of the pod and facilitating the installation of the module.
[0040] To facilitate the support and fixation of the slip ring outlet, the bracket 40 extends away from the clamp, thereby extending the length of the bracket 40 to ensure that the slip ring outlet can be stably supported.
[0041] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting up the clamp and fitting it onto the slip ring, with the wires on the slip ring passing through the clamp and exiting. Multiple wires are then overlapped on the brackets 40 in different orientations according to the direction of the modules to be connected. Cable ties are then passed through the fixing holes 41 and fixed to the brackets 40. By rationally arranging the brackets 40 along the edge of the clamp, the wires from the slip ring are constrained, preventing the slip ring wires from affecting the connection stability due to pod vibration. Furthermore, the clamp and brackets 40 orderly arrange the multiple slip ring wires, reducing the proportion of the slip ring wires occupying the unknown space above the pod and improving space utilization.
[0042] In one embodiment, the bracket 40 includes a base plate 43 and a side plate 44, the base plate 43 being connected to the edge of the circular opening on the side of the clamp, and the side plate 44 being connected to the side of the base plate 43;
[0043] The base plate 43 and the side plate 44 together form a fixing groove 42.
[0044] It is understandable that when the slip ring exits from the clamp, cables with different orientations are supported by different brackets 40, so that the cables are connected to the base plate 43. At the same time, the cable tie passes through the fixing hole 41 and then around the base plate 43 to fix the cable.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing hole 41 is provided on the side plate 44. Therefore, when there are too many cables passing through one of the brackets 40, the cable ties can securely fix multiple cables at the same time, avoiding the cables from shaking and affecting the stability of the cable connection.
[0046] In one embodiment, the fixing hole 41 may be provided on the base plate 43, and the fixing hole 41 is provided through the base plate 43.
[0047] It is understandable that the fixing hole 41 is set on the base plate 43. This is because if there are too few cables on the bracket 40 or only one cable on the bracket 40, it would be not conducive to fixing the cables if the fixing hole 41 is set on the side plate 44. Therefore, the cable tie passes through the fixing hole 41 on the base plate 43, so as to facilitate the direct and tight fixing of the cable to the base plate 43, thereby ensuring that even a small number of cables can be fixed on the bracket 40.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the fixing slot 42 formed by the base plate 43 and the side plate 44 is used to place the cable, thereby facilitating the stable placement of the cable, preventing the cable from falling out of the fixing slot 42, and thus facilitating the fixing of the cable with cable ties.
[0049] In one embodiment, the side plate 44 is provided with the fixing hole 41.
[0050] It is understood that the fixing hole 41 is provided on the side plate 44 to facilitate the fixing of the cable placed on the base plate 43.
[0051] It should be noted that the position of the fixing hole 41 on the side plate 44 should be reasonably adjusted according to the number of cables on the base plate 43, so as to better fix the cables and ensure the stability of the cable fixation.
[0052] In one embodiment, there are two side plates 44, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the base plate 43, and the two fixing holes 41 are disposed opposite to each other.
[0053] To prevent the cables placed on the base plate 43 from detaching from the surface of the base plate 43, side plates 44 are provided on opposite sides of the base plate 43.
[0054] Since the top of the slip ring passes through the clamp and into the fixing slot 42, and the two side plates 44 are located on both sides of the cable, the cable is prevented from detaching from the base plate 43 without being secured by cable ties, thus ensuring the stability of the cable fixation.
[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the two fixing holes 41 are arranged opposite each other, which facilitates the cable tie to be passed through, thereby achieving stable fixing of the cable.
[0056] In one embodiment, the clamp includes a first clamp ring 10 and a second clamp ring 20, wherein the first clamp ring 10 is connected to one end of the second clamp ring 20;
[0057] The plurality of brackets 40 are arranged in a ring around the edge of the second hoop 20 and are located on the side of the second hoop 20 away from the first hoop 10.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the first hoop 10 is connected to one end of the second hoop 20, and the first hoop 10 and the second hoop 20 together form a through cavity 30.
[0059] To facilitate the fitting and connection of the clamp and the slip ring, and to adapt to the narrow space in the upper part of the pod, the inner diameter of the first clamp ring 10 is adapted to the slip ring.
[0060] It is understandable that the slip ring is inserted into the first hoop 10, and the cable in the slip ring passes through the first hoop 10 and the second hoop 20. The cable is also inserted into the bracket 40 in different directions. This facilitates the support and fixation of the slip ring cable and prevents the slip ring cable from affecting the stability of the connection due to vibration.
[0061] Furthermore, the second hoop 20 is disposed on one side of the first hoop 10, and when the first hoop 10 is fitted onto the slip ring, the second hoop 20 is located on the side of the first hoop 10 away from the slip ring.
[0062] It should be noted that when connecting the slip ring cable to the module, the cable needs to be bent. If the bending radius of the cable is insufficient, it is easy to damage the cable and affect the normal operation of the equipment.
[0063] It is understood that the second hoop 20 is connected to the first hoop 10. When the cable passes through the first hoop 10 and the second hoop 20, the presence of the second hoop 20 provides space for the cable to bend, thereby ensuring the safety of the cable after bending.
[0064] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the second hoop 20 increases in a direction away from the first hoop 10, so that the inner wall of the second hoop 20 is inclined in a direction away from the center of the second hoop 20.
[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, the second hoop 20 is trumpet-shaped and opens in a direction away from the first hoop 10.
[0066] It is understandable that after the cable passes through the first clamp 10 into the second clamp 20, the cable bends and passes through the fixing slot 42. The inclined annular surface inside the second clamp 20 provides bending space for the cable, thereby improving the protection of the cable and ensuring the stability and safety of the cable connection between the slip ring and the module.
[0067] It should be noted that the inner wall of the second hoop 20 has a gradually changing arc shape, so that even when the cable comes into contact with the inner wall of the second hoop 20, the safety of the cable will not be affected by the sharp edges.
[0068] In one embodiment, the inclination direction of the side plate 44 toward the side of the second hoop 20 is the same as the inclination direction of the inner wall of the second hoop 20.
[0069] like Figure 4As shown, the side plate 44 is inclined in the same direction as the inner wall of the second hoop 20 when it faces the center of the second hoop 20. This prevents the bracket 40 from extending too far into the second hoop 20 when it is installed on the edge of the second hoop 20, thus avoiding affecting the bending of the cable within the second hoop 20.
[0070] It is understood that the side plate 44 is inclined toward the side of the second hoop 20 so that the inner wall of the second hoop 20 extends along the side plate 44, thereby expanding the space for cable bending in the protection device and ensuring the safety of cable bending.
[0071] In one embodiment, the connection between the bracket 40 and the second hoop 20 is arc-shaped.
[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, the base plate 43 is connected to the edge of the second hoop 20, so that the connection between the base plate 43 and the second hoop 20 is arc-shaped.
[0073] It is understandable that when the cable is bent and inserted into the fixing slot 42, the rounded corner at the connection between the base plate 43 and the second hoop 20 prevents the cable from being damaged by sharp edges, thus improving the cable's safety.
[0074] In one embodiment, the connection between the first hoop 10 and the second hoop 20 is smoothly transitioned.
[0075] It is understandable that the connection between the first hoop 10 and the second hoop 20 is rounded so that when multiple cables pass through the first hoop 10 into the second hoop 20, the rounded connection between the first hoop 10 and the second hoop 20 avoids damage to the cables and ensures the safety of the cables after bending.
