Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of wire rope connection devices, specifically a flexible wire rope connection device. Background Technology

[0002] Steel wire ropes are widely used for load-bearing and traction in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and mining due to their high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Traditional steel wire rope connection methods, such as direct connection, splicing, and braiding, have certain limitations. For example, direct connection and splicing methods are insufficient in terms of connection strength and reliability, while braiding methods, although offering higher connection strength, are complex to operate and unsuitable for connection requirements under dynamic load conditions. Most steel wire rope connection devices on the market lack effective vibration damping designs, failing to effectively absorb and reduce the vibrations generated by the steel wire rope during operation, which to some extent limits the application range and service life of steel wire rope connection devices. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flexible connection device for steel wire ropes, so as to solve the problem of stable connection and flexible shock absorption of steel wire ropes in the prior art. To achieve the above objective, this application provides the following technical solution: a flexible connection device for steel wire ropes, comprising:

[0004] The fixing base is provided in two, and its side wall is provided with multiple mounting slots; a mounting block is provided on one side of the fixing base, and the side wall of the mounting block is evenly provided with multiple mounting holes, which are arc-shaped holes.

[0005] A steel wire rope passes sequentially through the mounting holes on two oppositely arranged mounting blocks to connect the two fixing seats. After passing through multiple mounting holes, the steel wire rope forms a spiral shape.

[0006] An internal threaded hole is provided on the side wall of the mounting hole through which both ends of the wire rope pass, and a fastening screw is installed in the internal threaded hole, which can fix both ends of the wire rope in the mounting hole;

[0007] A connecting block having a threaded hole and a spring fixedly connected thereto, and a groove provided at the bottom, wherein the connecting block is connected to the fixed seat by a threaded rod passing through the mounting groove;

[0008] The inverted U-shaped seat has rolled edges on both sides, which are adapted to the groove and are engaged in the groove. The top surface of the inverted U-shaped seat contacts the spring, and the bottom of the rolled edges abuts against the fixing seat, forming an arc-shaped buffer structure.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the diameter of the internal threaded hole is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole.

[0010] In this preferred embodiment, the fixing base is L-shaped.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, this technical solution further includes multiple ribs, which are disposed within the fixing base, and the two sides of the ribs are respectively connected to the two side walls of the fixing base.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the rib plate is perpendicular to both side walls of the fixing seat.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, all of the aforementioned ribs are arranged in parallel.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the mounting block and the fixing seat are connected by a screw.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the inverted U-shaped seat and the fixed seat are connected by a plurality of evenly distributed connecting blocks and screws.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0017] This invention provides a flexible wire rope connection device that effectively solves the problem of stable connection and flexible shock absorption in existing technologies. The flexible wire rope connection device of this invention achieves efficient and stable connection of the wire rope through the ingenious combination of a fixed base, mounting block, internal threaded hole, connecting block, and inverted U-shaped seat, greatly improving the reliability and safety of the connection. After passing through multiple mounting holes, the wire rope forms a spiral shape. This structure effectively disperses the force and reduces the risk of damage caused by concentrated force. Simultaneously, the spiral shape of the wire rope provides good cushioning when subjected to impact and vibration, thus achieving flexible shock absorption. The internal threaded hole and fastening screw ensure that both ends of the wire rope are firmly fixed in the mounting hole, preventing connection failure due to loosening during use. The connecting block and inverted U-shaped seat form an arc-shaped buffer structure, which effectively absorbs and disperses energy when subjected to impact and vibration, reducing the risk of damage to the wire rope and connecting components. Meanwhile, the rolled edge of the inverted U-shaped seat matches the groove of the connecting block, making the connection more secure and less likely to fall off. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0024] Furthermore, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various components shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn to actual scale; for example, the thickness or width of some layers may be exaggerated relative to other layers.

[0025] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined or described in one figure, it will not need to be discussed or described in detail in the description of the subsequent figures.

[0026] In order to solve the technical problems in the background art, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, this application provides a technical solution: a flexible steel wire rope connection device, characterized as follows:

[0027] This device includes two fixed seats 1, one connected to a fixed base and the other connected to a structure prone to vibration. Each fixed seat 1 has multiple mounting slots 2 on its side wall. These mounting slots 2 are used for the subsequent installation of mounting blocks 3, connecting blocks 8, or other components. Each fixed seat 1 has a mounting block 3 on one side, and the side wall of the mounting block 3 has multiple evenly distributed mounting holes 4. These mounting holes 4 are designed as arc-shaped holes to facilitate the passage of the wire rope 5 and to form a spiral shape. The wire rope 5 passes sequentially through the mounting holes 4 on two oppositely positioned mounting blocks 3, connecting the two fixed seats 1. After passing through the multiple mounting holes 4, the wire rope 5 naturally forms a spiral shape, which helps to disperse the tension of the wire rope 5 and improve the stability of the connection. Internal threaded holes 6 are provided on the side walls of the mounting holes 4 through which the wire rope 5 passes. Fastening screws 7 are installed in the internal threaded holes 6. By tightening the fastening screws 7, the two ends of the wire rope 5 can be fixed in the mounting holes 4, ensuring that the wire rope 5 will not come out of the mounting holes 4 under stress. The connecting block 8 has a threaded hole, on which a spring 9 is fixedly connected, and a groove 10 is provided at the bottom. The connecting block 8 is connected to the fixing seat 1 through the mounting slot 2 via a threaded rod, so that the connecting block 8 can be firmly installed on the fixing seat 1. The two sides of the inverted U-shaped seat 11 are provided with rolled edges 12, which are adapted to the grooves 10 on the connecting block 8 and are locked in the grooves 10. The inner top surface of the inverted U-shaped seat 11 contacts the spring 9, and the bottom of the rolled edges 12 abuts against the fixing seat 1, forming an arc-shaped buffer structure. This structure helps to absorb and reduce the vibration generated by the inverted U-shaped seat 11 when under force, isolating the vibration and preventing it from being transmitted to the other fixing seat 1. Even if some vibration is transmitted through the wire rope 5, it is absorbed by the buffer structure of the wire rope 5 itself.

[0028] It should be noted that the internal threaded hole 6 is a special structure set on the side wall of the mounting block 3. Its diameter is designed to be larger than that of the mounting hole 4, which makes it easier for the fastening screw 7 to adjust the fastening force on the wire rope 5 and increase the contact area with the wire rope 5.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting base 1 is designed in an L-shape, which provides better stability and support, allowing it to be securely installed on various bases or structures. The L-shaped mounting base 1 effectively utilizes space, especially in limited spaces, offering more installation positions and angle options. Compared to other simpler shapes, such as straight column or I-shaped designs, the L-shaped structure has higher structural strength and bending resistance.

[0030] It is worth noting that the rib 13 is a reinforcing structure located inside the L-shaped fixing seat 1, with its two sides connected to the two side walls of the fixing seat 1 respectively. As an internal reinforcing structure, the rib 13 can significantly improve the overall strength and rigidity of the fixing seat 1, enabling it to withstand greater loads. When the fixing seat 1 is subjected to external forces, the rib 13 can effectively disperse stress, reduce the deformation of the fixing seat 1, and protect the stability of the connecting device. The addition of the rib 13 makes the fixing seat 1 more durable and extends the service life of the entire connecting device.

[0031] It should be noted that the rib 13 is designed to be perpendicular to the two side walls of the fixing seat 1. The vertical design of the rib 13 can provide better support and increase the structural stability of the fixing seat 1, especially when subjected to forces perpendicular to the side walls of the fixing seat 1. The vertical rib 13 can enhance the torsional resistance of the fixing seat 1 and prevent the fixing seat 1 from deforming under torsional force.

[0032] It should be noted that the ribs 13 are designed to be parallel to each other. The parallel arrangement of the ribs 13 allows them to be evenly distributed along the entire length of the fixing seat 1, thereby providing uniform support and strength throughout the structure. The parallel arrangement of the ribs 13 simplifies the manufacturing process because they can be manufactured using standardized methods such as stamping or cutting, which helps to improve production efficiency.

[0033] It is worth noting that the connection between the mounting block 3 and the fixed base 1 is a screw connection. The screw connection allows for quick disassembly and reinstallation of the mounting block 3 and the fixed base 1, facilitating maintenance and replacement. The screw connection allows for adjustment of the position of the mounting block 3 as needed to accommodate different installation requirements or to adjust the tension of the wire rope 5. The screw connection provides a stable and reliable connection method, ensuring the stability of the mounting block 3 on the fixed base 1, especially under dynamic loads.

[0034] It should be noted that the connection between the inverted U-shaped seat 11 and the fixed seat 1 employs multiple evenly distributed connecting blocks 8 and screws. This arrangement allows the load to be distributed more evenly between the inverted U-shaped seat 11 and the fixed seat 1, reducing localized stress concentration. Multiple connection points provide multiple support points, enhancing the stability of the connection between the inverted U-shaped seat 11 and the fixed seat 1. The evenly distributed connecting blocks 8 and screws allow for adjustment in different positions to accommodate various installation requirements or to adjust the position of the inverted U-shaped seat 11.

[0035] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
