[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the drag chain support mechanism in one embodiment.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the cable chain support mechanism is used for processing equipment, and the cable chain support mechanism includes multiple cable chain support units 10.

[0041] Multiple cable support units 10 are arranged along the direction of movement of the cable chain 20; such as Figure 2 As shown, any cable chain support unit 10 includes a retractable support member 110 and a support body 120. The support body 120 is located on both sides of the cable chain 20, and the retractable support member 110 is located on one side of the support body 120. The retractable support member 110 can abut against the end of the cable chain 20.

[0042] The cable chain support unit 10 can be located on both sides of the cable chain 20 in the machine tool equipment, providing support for the non-moving cable chain 20 and providing movement space for the moving cable chain 20. The telescopic support member 110 can be telescopically connected to the support body 120, extending out of the support body 120 and abutting against the cable chain 20 to support the cable chain 20, and can also retract into the support body 120 to form movement space for the cable chain 20. The support body 120 can be a functional structure connected to the telescopic support member 110, providing support and load-bearing function for the telescopic support member 110.

[0043] The retractable support member 110 includes an elastic component 1110, a support end 1120, and a guide shaft 1130. The support end 1120 is connected to the elastic component 1110 and can pass through a support through hole to abut against the cable chain 20. The elastic component 1110 is sleeved on the guide shaft 1130, one end of which is connected to the support end 1120, and the other end is fastened to the support body 120. One side of the support end 1120 has an outwardly convex arc shape.

[0044] The elastic member 1110 can be a functional member capable of being forcibly compressed along the guide shaft 1130 when the support end 1120 abuts against the end of the cable chain 20, and capable of naturally extending along the guide shaft 1130 when the pressure on the end of the cable chain 20 is removed. The support end 1120 can be a functional member capable of being forcibly compressed against the support body 120 along the guide shaft 1130 under the squeezing action of the end of the cable chain 20, and capable of naturally extending along the guide shaft 1130 beyond the support body 120 when the squeezing action at the end of the cable chain 20 is removed. The guide shaft 1130 can be a functional member capable of guiding the movement of the elastic member 1110 and the support end 1120.

[0045] like Figure 3As shown, the support end 1120 in the retractable support 110 is a semi-circular support of a certain thickness. When the cable chain 20 passes by from the side, it will first contact the semi-circular arc and then gradually compress the support end 1120 along the guide shaft 1130, squeezing it into the support body 120 to form a space for the cable chain 20 to move, and then the cable chain 20 can pass smoothly. The upper and lower surfaces of the support end 1120 are rounded, which reduces the wear on the cable chain 20 when it slides on it. The tail of the support end 1120 can be a flange structure, which can fit with the notch of the support body 120 to ensure that it extends to a suitable length, preventing the support end 1120 in the retractable support 110 from extending too far out of the support body 120 and getting stuck on the cable chain 20, which would prevent it from being retracted and damaging the cable chain 20.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the support body 120 also includes fastening components, end support components 1210, structural reinforcement components 1220, vertical support components 1230, a first inward folding support component 1240, a second inward folding support component 1250, and a third inward folding support component 1260. The support body 120 is provided with a limiting mounting hole, and the other end of the support end 1120 is mounted in the limiting mounting hole; the bottom of the support body 120 is provided with a position adjustment hole.

[0047] The fastening component passes through the position adjustment hole and is fastened to the outside; the first inward folding support component 1240 is located at the top of the vertical support component 1230; the second inward folding support component 1250 and the third inward folding support component 1260 are located on both sides of the vertical support component 1230; the end support component 1210 is located on the side of the support body 120 away from the cable chain 20; the structural reinforcement component 1220 is connected to the end support component 1210.

[0048] Fastening components can be functional components capable of fastening the support body 120 to the outside. End support component 1210 can be a functional component capable of providing support for the support end 1120. Structural reinforcement component 1220 can be a functional component capable of providing structural reinforcement for the end support component 1210. Vertical support component 1230 can be a functional component distributed along the vertical direction and connected to the first inward folding support component 1240, the second inward folding support component 1250, and the third inward folding support component 1260, capable of providing support for the first inward folding support component 1240, the second inward folding support component 1250, and the third inward folding support component 1260.

[0049] The first inward-folding support member 1240 may be a support member that folds inward along the left side of the vertical support member 1230 towards the end support member 1210. The second inward-folding support member 1250 may be a support member that folds inward along the right side of the vertical support member 1230 towards the end support member 1210. The third inward-folding support member 1260 may be a support member that folds inward along the top of the vertical support member 1230 towards the end support member 1210.

[0050] Optionally, the fastening components can be expansion screws or similar structures; the end support component 1210 can be a hollow support plate, support block, or support base; the structural reinforcement component 1220 can be a reinforcing rib, reinforcing block, or reinforcing plate; the vertical support component 1230 can be a vertical support plate or vertical support block; and the first inward folding support component 1240, the second inward folding support component 1250, and the third inward folding support component 1260 can all be inward folding support plates or inward folding support blocks.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the support body 120 is welded from sheet metal. From bottom to top, the bottom part of the support body 120 has position adjustment holes (such as 4 waist-shaped holes) for front and back adjustment. After the position is selected, it is fixed to the ground with fastening components. The outermost layer of the support body 120 consists of the first inner folding support component 1240, the second inner folding support component 1250, and the third inner folding support component 1260, which can ensure the efficiency of the drag chain 20 passing between the vertical support components 1230 of the multiple support bodies 120. This effectively improves the problem that the chain may be stuck inside by the bending edge if it is offset to the left or right or up. The limiting mounting holes of the vertical support component 1230 can provide the installation position for the telescopic support component 110. The structural reinforcement component 1220 (such as a reinforcing rib) located below the vertical support component 1230 provides support.

[0052] When the cable chain 20 in the machine tool moves, the end of the cable chain 20 enters between multiple oppositely arranged cable chain support units 10. When the cable chain 20 passes the telescopic support member 110, the support end 1120 of the telescopic support member 110 begins to retract inward to the support body 120 due to the compression of the cable chain 20. After the cable chain 20 has completely passed, the support end 1120 returns to its original position under the reaction force of the elastic member 1110. The above process is repeated when the cable chain 20 passes the next cable chain 20 support. After the cable chain 20 has traveled a relatively long distance, the middle cable chain 20 begins to droop. At this time, the drooping cable chain 20 falls onto the cable chain 20 support member, is supported by the cable chain 20 support member, and slides on it. This is suitable for the use of long-stroke cable chains 20. It can effectively support the non-moving cable chain 20, effectively improve the problem of machine tool equipment collapsing due to the weight of the long cable chain 20, and also ensure the efficiency of the movement of the moving cable chain 20.

[0053] The guide shaft 1130 in the telescopic support 110 is connected to the support end 1120 and passes through the vertical support component 1230 in the support body 120 and the rear end support component 1210. The guide shaft 1130 is longer than the support body 120 to prevent it from falling off. The elastic component 1110 in the telescopic support 110 provides support and rebound. The structure of the cable chain support unit 10 is relatively simple and easy to install. According to the actual size of the cable chain 20 used, multiple cable chain support units 10 can be designed to ensure that both ends have sufficient width and height so that the cable chain 20 can pass smoothly. The position adjustment hole can be determined according to the width of the cable chain 20 so that it can be fixed to the ground with fastening components.

[0054] When the cable chain 20 in the machine tool moves, the retractable support member 110 of the multiple cable chain support units 10 arranged along the movement square of the cable chain 20 approaches and abuts against the end of the cable chain 20. Under the squeezing action of the end of the cable chain 20, the retractable support member 110 retracts to the support body 120 located on both sides of the cable chain 20. Until the cable chain 20 finishes moving, the squeezing action of the end of the cable chain 20 on the retractable support member 110 is eliminated, and the retractable support member 110 naturally extends out of the support body 120 and abuts against the support bottom surface of the cable chain 20. This can effectively support the non-moving cable chain 20, effectively improve the problem of the machine tool collapsing due to the weight of the long cable chain 20, ensure the movement efficiency of the moving cable chain 20, and effectively improve the economy of the cable chain support mechanism, thereby meeting the higher requirements of the machine tool.

[0055] This application also provides a processing device, which includes the cable chain support mechanism in the above embodiments.

[0056] The division of the various modules in the above-described cable chain support mechanism is only for illustrative purposes. In other embodiments, the cable chain support mechanism can be divided into different modules as needed to complete all or part of the functions of the above-described cable chain support mechanism.

[0057] The cable chain support mechanism and processing equipment provided in the above embodiments, when the cable chain in the machine tool moves, the retractable support members in the multiple cable chain support units arranged along the movement square of the cable chain approach and abut against the end of the cable chain. Under the squeezing action of the end of the cable chain, the retractable support members retract to the support bodies located on both sides of the cable chain. Until the cable chain movement is completed, the squeezing action of the end of the cable chain on the retractable support members is eliminated, and the retractable support members naturally extend out of the support bodies and abut against the support bottom surface of the cable chain. This can effectively support the non-moving cable chain, effectively improve the problem of machine tool equipment collapsing due to the self-weight of the long cable chain, ensure the movement efficiency of the moving cable chain, and effectively improve the economy of the cable chain support mechanism, thereby meeting the higher requirements of machine tool equipment.

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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.
