AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The spacing between the two chain plates of the existing cable drag chain is not easy to adjust after installation, which makes the drag chain prone to friction and dislocation during movement.

Method used

An adjustable cable chain was designed. Short and long support bars were set on the cable chain plates, and limit teeth and adjustment scales were opened on them. The spacing between the chain plates was controlled by the limit teeth and the adjustment scales. Combined with splicing buckles and protruding structures, it was ensured that the chain plates would not dislodge during movement.

Benefits of technology

It enables precise adjustment and stable connection of the cable chain plate spacing, prevents the support bars from dislodging during cable chain movement, and improves the service life and stability of the cable chain.
