Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable chain technology, specifically to a cable chain connector limiting component. Background Technology
[0002] Cable drag chains, also known as cable protection drag chains, are devices used to secure cables, wires, air hoses, and hydraulic hoses to facilitate their rotation and movement. When a cable drag chain moves horizontally after bending upwards, the upper part of the chain may sag as it travels. Current applications lack corresponding limiting and support structures, leading to unnecessary friction and collisions, thus accelerating wear and shortening its lifespan. Furthermore, the sag creates additional resistance due to gravity during horizontal movement, increasing energy consumption and reducing operational efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cable chain connector limiting component to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cable chain connector limiting assembly, comprising:
[0005] The cable chain body with connecting plates installed at the ends;
[0006] A limiting groove is located on the outside of the drag chain body. Guide rods are fixed to both sides of the limiting groove, and a reset part is sleeved on the outside of the guide rods.
[0007] The support limiting part is slidably placed on the top of the limiting groove. The support limiting part includes a second support frame and a plurality of interconnected first support frames. The first support frames are connected to the second support frame. The top of the second support frame is provided with a vertical rod that cooperates with the connecting plate for driving the second support frame to reset.
[0008] Preferably, guide rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the limiting groove, and sliders are slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rods.
[0009] Preferably, the reset part is a spring, which is located between the end of the slider and the end of the guide rod.
[0010] Preferably, the first support frame includes two first support rods, the second support frame includes two second support rods, and a support roller shaft is rotatably connected between the two first support rods and between the two second support rods.
[0011] Preferably, the support frame one and the support rod two are fixedly connected to the corresponding slider.
[0012] Preferably, the outer sides of both the first support rod and the second support rod are fixed to the connecting blocks, and the two connecting blocks are connected by a threaded rod.
[0013] Preferably, the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the support rod, and horizontal rods that cooperate with the vertical rod are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plate.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During the upward bending and conveying of the cable chain body, the support rollers at the top of support frame one and support frame two can support and convey the cable chain body, and the bending part of the cable chain body can push support frame two to move, realizing dynamic support for the cable chain body and effectively preventing the cable chain body located at the top from collapsing during long-distance conveying; By reasonably setting the number and connection method of support frame one and support frame two, there is a corresponding support structure below when the cable chain body moves from one end of the limiting groove to the other end, ensuring that the cable chain body can be well supported throughout the entire movement process; When the cable chain body reverses and resets, the elasticity of the reset part (spring) and the friction between the cable chain body and the support rollers cooperate to drive support frame one to reset according to the movement of the cable chain body, ensuring that the support structure matches the movement state of the cable chain body; Guide rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the limiting groove, and sliders are slidably connected to the outside of the guide rods. Support frame one and support frame two are connected to the guide rods through the sliders, so that the support rods can slide along the guide rods, ensuring the movement stability and flexibility of the support structure.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cable chain connector limiting assembly, comprising: a cable chain body 1 with a connecting plate 9 screwed onto its end, the connecting plate 9 being connected to a mobile device; a limiting groove 2 located on the outside of the cable chain body 1, the limiting groove 2 being used to prevent and limit the cable chain body 1, guide rods 3 being fixedly connected to both sides of the limiting groove 2, and a reset part being sleeved on the outside of the guide rods 3; a supporting limiting part being slidably placed on the top of the limiting groove 2, the supporting limiting part including a second support frame 13 and multiple interconnected first support frames 12, the first support frame 12 being connected to the second support frame 13, and a vertical rod 11 cooperating with the connecting plate 9 being provided on the top of the second support frame 13 for driving the second support frame 13 to reset.
[0023] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the mobile device drives the cable chain body 1 to bend upwards for transport via the connecting plate 9. The upper cable chain body 1 slides on top of the support frame 12 and the support frame 13. The movement of the support frame 13 along the bend of the cable chain body 1 towards the limiting groove 2 ensures that the upper cable chain body 1 always has a support structure, thereby preventing the upper cable chain body 1 from collapsing during long-distance transport.
[0024] In one embodiment, when the second support frame 13 pushes the first support frame 12 to one end, the first support frame 12 compresses the reset part. When the connecting plate 9 drives the drag chain body 1 to reset in the opposite direction, the friction between the drag chain body 1 and the first support frame 12 and the elasticity of the reset part cause the first support frame 12 to follow the drag chain body 1 to one end. When the elasticity of the reset part is insufficient to support the movement of the first support frame 12, the drag chain body 1 located above is shorter in length. The connecting plate 9 slides over the top of the first support frame 12 and drives the second support frame 13 to move towards the end of the limiting groove 2 through the vertical rod 11 via the connecting plate 9.
[0025] In one embodiment, guide rods 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the limiting groove 2, and sliders 6 are slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rods 3. The reset part is a spring 4, which is located between the end of the slider 6 and the end of the guide rod 3. The support frame 12 includes two support rods 5, and the support frame 23 includes two support rods 14. Support rollers 7 are rotatably connected between the two support rods 5 and between the two support rods 14. The support frame 12 and the support rods 14 are fixedly connected to the corresponding sliders 6.
[0026] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the support rod 5 and the support rod 14 can slide along the guide rod 3 via the slider 6. The top of the support rod 5 and the support rod 14 are both equipped with support rollers 7 for supporting the cable chain body 1. When the cable chain body 1 bends upward for conveying, the support rollers 7 can support and convey the cable chain body 1. The bent part of the cable chain body 1 can push the support frame 13 to move to a certain position, so as to realize dynamic support for the cable chain body 1. During its movement, the slider 6 located at the end away from the support frame 13 can compress and store the spring 4. When the cable chain body 1 returns to its original position, the spring 4 can provide a corresponding return force. Combined with the friction between the cable chain body 1 and the support rollers 7, the support frame 12 can be driven to return to its original position according to the cable chain body 1.
[0027] In one embodiment, the outer sides of support rod 15 and support rod 214 are both fixed to connecting block 8, and the two connecting blocks 8 are connected by connecting threaded rod 15.
[0028] It should be noted that in this embodiment, three support frames 12 are provided, and one drag chain body is provided on the second support frame 13. Adjacent support frames 12 are connected by connecting threaded rods 15. The connecting threaded rods 15 pass through the slider 6 and nuts are threaded on both sides of the slider 6. The second support frame 13 at one end is also connected to the first support frame 12 by connecting threaded rods 15, so that the length between the second support frame 12 at the far end and the second support rod 14 is the same as half the length of the limiting groove 2. This ensures that when the drag chain body 1 moves from one end of the limiting groove 2 to the other end, there is corresponding support under the drag chain body 1.
[0029] In one embodiment, the vertical rod 11 is fixedly connected to the support rod 14, and the two sides of the connecting plate 9 are fixedly connected to the horizontal rods 10 that cooperate with the vertical rod 11.
[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the first support frame 12 and the second support frame 13 are stationary at the top of the limiting groove 2, the drag chain body 1 slides and resets at the top of the support roller shaft 7. When the horizontal bars 10 on both sides of the connecting plate 9 contact the vertical bars 11, the drag chain body 1 pushes the second support frame 13 to one side through the vertical bars 11, so that the entire support structure resets to the end.
