Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cable conveying equipment, and specifically relates to a flat cable guiding device. Background Technology

[0002] Flat cables are widely used in engineering equipment requiring mobile power distribution, such as unloading trucks, stacker-reclaimers, and gantry cranes. These devices are equipped with cable reels for winding up and unwinding flat cables. During equipment movement, the corresponding cable reels work synchronously to ensure the cable is sufficiently tensioned, preventing it from being too long or too short and thus affecting equipment movement.

[0003] To ensure smooth transmission during the laying and winding of flat cables, appropriate guiding devices are required. Currently available guiding devices are typically only suitable for single-sided use, meaning the power source is always fixed on one side of the equipment. However, in some applications, the equipment needs to be moved between the two sides of the power source. When the equipment moves from one side of the power source to the other, the original guiding device may fail. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a flat cable guiding device to solve the cable guiding problem when mobile electrical equipment is used across both sides of a power source.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned technical objectives through the following technical means.

[0006] A flat cable guide device, comprising:

[0007] Two protective panels positioned opposite each other;

[0008] Guide wheels, located between the two guard plates, are provided in several groups and are arranged symmetrically back and forth along the direction of movement of the electrical equipment.

[0009] A pair of guide rollers are located on top of the guard plate, with their axis perpendicular to the guide wheel and parallel to the direction of movement of the electrical equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, each group of guide wheels has two wheels, with the upper guide wheel positioned relatively inward and the lower guide wheel positioned relatively outward.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide wheel has a cylindrical structure in the middle and tapered structures that gradually expand from the inside to the outside at both ends.

[0012] Furthermore, the distance between the pair of guide rollers is adjustable.

[0013] Furthermore, a slide rail is provided along the distance between the two guide rollers, and bearing seats are connected to both ends of the guide rollers; the bearing seats slide in conjunction with the slide rail and are provided with locking bolts.

[0014] Furthermore, it includes a mounting plate, the guard plate being connected to the mounting plate via a bracket.

[0015] Furthermore, the axial length of the guide roller is sufficient to cover the upper guide roller of the two sets of guide rollers.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] (1) This utility model provides a flat cable guiding device, which allows the cable to be loaded and unloaded onto the cable reel during the movement of electrical equipment, ensuring that the cable does not deviate and reducing the wear on the cable. By setting two sets of symmetrical guide wheels, the guiding device can be used by electrical equipment across both sides of the power source.

[0018] (2) A guide roller is provided to clamp the cable, thereby achieving the correction function and reducing the friction between the cable and other parts.

[0019] (3) The guard plate plays a temporary limiting role in the switching process of the two sets of guide wheels, preventing the cable from deviating from the guide device and ensuring that the two sets of guide wheels can be switched smoothly. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein similar or identical reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The flat cable guide device shown includes a mounting plate 1 for connecting the main body of the electrical equipment 61. Two protective plates 2 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1 by a bracket. The two protective plates 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and four guide wheels are provided between the two protective plates 2, namely the first guide wheel 31, the second guide wheel 32, the third guide wheel 33, and the fourth guide wheel 34.

[0030] The four guide wheels are divided into two groups, symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides along the direction of movement of the electrical equipment. The first guide wheel 31 and the second guide wheel 32 form one group, with the first guide wheel 31 located on the lower side and relatively outward, and the second guide wheel 32 located on the upper side and relatively inward. The third guide wheel 33 and the fourth guide wheel 34 form the other group, with the third guide wheel 33 located on the lower side and relatively outward, and the fourth guide wheel 34 located on the upper side and relatively inward. The center of each guide wheel's surface is a cylindrical structure for rolling contact with the surface of the flat cable 6 in the width direction; both ends are tapered structures that gradually expand from the inside out to prevent the flat cable 6 from deviating from the guide wheel.

[0031] During operation, the innermost wheel surfaces of the two guide wheels in the same group roll in contact with the flat cable 6 to control the bending radius of the flat cable 6 and achieve the transmission guidance function. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, when the electrical equipment 61 is on the left side of the power supply 62, the set of guide wheels on the right side undertakes the guiding task; when the electrical equipment 61 moves across the power supply 62 to the right side, the set of guide wheels on the left side takes over the guiding task; during the switching between the two sets of guide wheels, the guard plate 2 forms a temporary positional constraint on the flat cable 6 to prevent the flat cable 6 from deviating from the guiding device.

[0032] A pair of guide rollers, including a first guide roller 41 and a second guide roller 42, are provided on the top of the two guard plates 2. The axis of the guide rollers is perpendicular to the axis of the guide wheels and parallel to the direction of movement of the electrical equipment. The surface of the guide rollers makes rolling contact with the surface of the flat cable 6 in the thickness direction. The two guide rollers cooperate to form a clamp around the flat cable 6, which serves to limit and correct the deviation of the flat cable 6 and prevent friction damage between the cable and surrounding parts. The length of the guide rollers is sufficient to cover at least the second guide wheel 32 to the fourth guide wheel 34, ensuring that the flat cable 6 can contact the guide rollers regardless of which guide wheel is working.

[0033] To accommodate flat cables 6 of different widths, the spacing between the two guide rollers is adjustable. Specifically, the first guide roller 41 and the second guide roller 42 are connected to bearing seats 53 at both ends via bearings. The bearing seats 53 at the same end of the two guide rollers are slidably connected to a slide rail 51, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two guide rollers by moving the bearing seats 53. Each bearing seat 53 is provided with a locking bolt 52 to lock the position of the bearing seat 53 on the slide rail 51.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0035] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications that can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential content of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
