Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of production equipment technology, and in particular to connection auxiliary devices. Background Technology

[0002] In cigarette factories, stacker cranes and cleaning station equipment often use steel wire ropes with turnbuckles at the ends. A turnbuckle is a fastener used to tighten and adjust the tension of a steel wire rope. It utilizes the principle of a lead screw's extension and retraction; the tension of the wire rope is adjusted by the left and right threads of the adjusting rod. The extension and retraction of the adjusting rod changes the length of the wire rope, thus achieving the effect of tightening or loosening. Its anti-theft and anti-loosening device, through a special bolt design, ensures that it will not loosen due to vibration or external force during use.

[0003] Prolonged use can cause thread wear or fatigue in turnips, affecting their load-bearing capacity and safety. Furthermore, over time, the anti-theft and anti-loosening devices may fail, reducing their effectiveness. Additionally, the screws may rust or become damaged, requiring regular inspection and replacement. Currently, replacing turnips or steel cables requires manual tightening of the cable to loosen and reinstall the turnip. This tightening method is time-consuming, laborious, ineffective, and unsafe. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a connection auxiliary device to address the problems of high labor requirements, poor reliability, and poor safety associated with the existing method of manually tightening the steel wire rope when replacing turnbuckles.

[0005] A connection auxiliary device includes a connecting part, a fastening part, and a fastener. Two fastening parts are located at the two ends of the connecting part. The fastening part has a placement cavity inside, which is a cylindrical shape with open ends. The peripheral surface of the fastening part has a fastening hole communicating with the placement cavity. The fastener can be moved axially along the fastening hole and fastened to the fastening part. When the fastener is connected to the fastening part, it at least partially extends into the placement cavity.

[0006] In one embodiment, the fastening part includes a first fastening part and a second fastening part that can be engaged with each other. The first fastening part and the second fastening part can be moved or rotated relative to each other and then fastened. The first fastening part and the second fastening part together enclose the placement cavity.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first fastening part is fixedly connected to the connecting part, and the first fastening part and the second fastening part are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the placement cavity.

[0008] In one embodiment, the fastening hole is located at the end of the second fastening portion opposite to the first fastening portion.

[0009] In one embodiment, both the first and second fastening portions are semi-circular in structure and are arranged opposite to each other.

[0010] In one embodiment, the connection aid further includes a connector detachably connected to the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion for fastening the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion.

[0011] In one embodiment, a first connecting block is protruding from the circumferential surface of the first fastening part, and a second connecting block is protruding from the circumferential surface of the second fastening part. The first connecting block and the second connecting block are disposed opposite to each other, and the first connecting block has a first connecting hole with the axial direction of the first connecting hole being perpendicular to the axial direction of the placement cavity. The second connecting block has a second connecting hole coaxially disposed with the first connecting hole, and the connector is detachably connected to the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole.

[0012] In one embodiment, the number of the first connection block and the number of the second connection block are equal and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0013] In one embodiment, the connecting portion includes a first connecting segment, a second connecting segment, and a third connecting segment connected in sequence. The first connecting segment and the third connecting segment are parallel and spaced apart axially in the placement cavity. The two fastening portions are respectively connected to the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment.

[0014] In one embodiment, the fastener includes a fastening section and a handle connected to each other, the fastening section being used to connect the fastening portion, and the handle being located at the end of the fastening section away from the fastening portion.

[0015] The connection auxiliary device provided in the above solution has two fastening parts at both ends of the connection part, and a placement cavity with open ends is set in the fastening part to facilitate the placement of the wire rope inside the placement cavity. It is equipped with fasteners that can partially extend into the placement cavity and are removable. By tightening the fasteners, the wire rope inside the placement cavity is fixedly connected, thereby fixing the wire rope at both ends of the turnbuckle. This allows for easy removal of the old turnbuckle and installation of the new turnbuckle without affecting the tension of the wire rope. At the same time, because the fasteners are easy to remove, the connection auxiliary device is also easy to disassemble and assemble, making it particularly suitable for the scenario of removing the old turnbuckle and installing the new turnbuckle.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the connection auxiliary device 100 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The connection auxiliary device 100 provided in this embodiment can be applied to scenarios such as replacing turnbuckles 300, but is not intended to be limiting. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This diagram illustrates the structure of a connection aid 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. The connection aid 100 includes a connecting portion 110, a fastening portion 120, and fasteners 130. The two fastening portions 120 are respectively located at both ends of the connecting portion 110. Figure 2 As shown, the fastening part 120 has a placement cavity 121 inside, for placing such as Figure 1 The steel wire rope 200 shown has a cylindrical placement cavity 121 that is open at both ends to facilitate the insertion of the steel wire rope 200.

[0029] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fastening part 120 has a fastening hole 122 on its circumferential surface that communicates with the placement cavity 121. The fastener 130 can be moved along the axial direction of the fastening hole 122 and fastened to the fastening part 120. When the fastener 130 is connected to the fastening part 120, it extends at least partially into the placement cavity 121 to compress the wire rope 200 located in the placement cavity 121, thereby fixing the wire rope 200 and preventing the wire rope 200 from sliding in the placement cavity 121.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the fastening part 120 includes a first fastening part 123 and a second fastening part 124 that can be engaged with each other. The first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 can be moved or rotated relative to each other to fasten. When the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 are moved or rotated away, it is easier to put the wire rope 200 into the placement cavity 121, especially the wire rope 200 in a tensioned state. It can be directly put into the placement cavity 121 by moving or rotating the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 away, without having to pass the wire rope 200 into the placement cavity 121 along the axial direction of the placement cavity 121. Figure 3 As shown, the first engaging part 123 and the second engaging part 124 together enclose and form the placement cavity 121. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a different part.) Figure 4 In this embodiment, the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 can be moved relative to each other and then fastened, but this is not a limitation. When the connection between the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 is removed, the second fastening part 124 can move freely relative to the first fastening part 123.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the first fastening part 123 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 110, and the second fastening part 124 is located on the side of the first fastening part 123 away from the connecting part 110. When the wire rope 200 is placed in the placement cavity 121, as... Figure 1As shown, the axial direction of the wire rope 200 is the same as the axial direction of the placement cavity 121. The first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the placement cavity 121. At this time, the opening formed by the relative movement or relative rotation of the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 passes through the fastening part 120 along the axis of the placement cavity 121, which makes it easier for the wire rope 200, which is arranged in the same direction as the axial direction of the placement cavity 121, to enter the placement cavity 121.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the fastening hole 122 is provided at the end of the second fastening part 124 opposite to the first fastening part 123, which facilitates the tightening of the fastener 130 and also facilitates the processing of the fastening part 120.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, both the first fastening portion 123 and the second fastening portion 124 are semi-annular structures and are arranged opposite to each other, thereby forming a cylindrical placement cavity 121 with open ends. However, this is not a limitation; in other embodiments, the first fastening portion 123 and the second fastening portion 124 may also have other structures, with semi-circular grooves inside for forming the placement cavity 121.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the connection auxiliary device 100 further includes a connector 140, which is detachably connected to the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 for fastening the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 to achieve a detachable connection between the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a first connecting block 1231 protrudes from the circumferential surface of the first fastening part 123, and a second connecting block 1241 protrudes from the circumferential surface of the second fastening part 124. The first connecting block 1231 and the second connecting block 1241 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first connecting block 1231 has a first connecting hole 1232. The axial direction of the first connecting hole 1232 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the placement cavity 121. The second connecting block 1241 has a second connecting hole 1242 that is coaxial with the first connecting hole 1232. The connector 140 is detachably connected to the first connecting hole 1232 and the second connecting hole 1242. When the connector 140 is connected to the first connecting hole 1232 and the second connecting hole 1242, the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 are fastened. When the connector 140 is disassembled, the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124 are separated, so as to realize the detachable connection of the first fastening part 123 and the second fastening part 124.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of first connecting blocks 1231 and second connecting blocks 1241 are equal and arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In this embodiment, there are two of each of the first connecting blocks 1231 and the second connecting blocks 1241. The two first connecting blocks 1231 are respectively located on both sides of the first fastening portion 123, and correspondingly, the two second connecting blocks 1241 are respectively located on both sides of the second fastening portion 124, but this is not a limitation. In other embodiments, the first connecting block 1231 and the second connecting block 1241 may be a single one, or more than two.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting portion 110 includes a first connecting segment 111, a second connecting segment 112, and a third connecting segment 113 connected sequentially. The second connecting segment 112 extends axially in the placement cavity 121. The first connecting segment 111 and the third connecting segment 113 are parallel and spaced apart axially in the placement cavity 121. Two fastening portions 120 are respectively connected to the first connecting segment 111 and the third connecting segment 113. For aesthetic and safety reasons, the connection points of the first connecting segment 111 and the second connecting segment 112, and the connection points of the second connecting segment 112 and the third connecting segment 113, are all smooth transitions.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the fastener 130 includes a fastening section 131 and a handle 132 connected together. The fastening section 131 is used to connect to the fastening portion 120, and the handle 132 is located at the end of the fastening section 131 away from the fastening portion 120. The handle 132 facilitates the application of force to tighten and loosen the fastener 130. In this embodiment, the fastener 130 is a wing screw, but this is not a limitation.

[0039] When it is necessary to disassemble or assemble the connecting components (such as turnbuckles 300) of the wire rope 200, the connecting auxiliary device 100 provided in one embodiment of this application is installed at the ends of the two wire ropes 200, and parallel to the turnbuckles 300 of the wire rope 200. By tightening the fasteners 130, the wire ropes 200 at both ends are tightened and fixed. Then, the turnbuckles 300 of the wire rope 200 are removed. At this time, the connecting auxiliary device 100 firmly fixes the wire ropes 200 at both ends, and the old turnbuckles 300 can be easily removed and new turnbuckles 300 can be installed without affecting the tension of the wire ropes 200. After the turnbuckles 300 are installed, the connecting auxiliary device 100 can be removed.

[0040] The connection auxiliary device 100 provided in the above solution has two fastening parts 120 located at both ends of the connecting part 110, and a placement cavity 121 with open ends is provided in the fastening part 120 to facilitate the placement of the wire rope 200 inside the placement cavity 121. It is provided with fasteners 130 that can partially extend into the placement cavity 121 and are detachable. By tightening the fasteners 130, the wire rope 200 located inside the placement cavity 121 is fixedly connected, thereby fixing the wire rope 200 located at both ends of the turnbuckle 300. This allows for easy removal of the old turnbuckle 300 and installation of the new turnbuckle 300 without affecting the tension of the wire rope 200. At the same time, since the fasteners 130 are easy to remove, the connection auxiliary device 100 is also easy to disassemble and assemble, which is especially suitable for the application scenario of removing the old turnbuckle 300 and installing the new turnbuckle 300.

[0041] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0042] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
