Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protection device technology, specifically a machine tool cable protection device. Background Technology
[0002] Machine tools are machines that manufacture machines. They are also called machine tools or machine tools. They are the basic equipment of modern machinery manufacturing and are used to process various parts or products. Since a large number of cables need to be installed inside the machine tool, and these cables have different diameters, in order to prevent different cables from getting tangled and crossing, protective fixing devices are needed to restrict and position the different cables for protection.
[0003] For example, patent CN211589360U (A motor cable protection device for CNC machine tools) includes a first fixing plate and a heat dissipation box. A hollow fixing tube is fixedly installed on the right side surface of the first fixing plate, and a first fixing screw hole is opened inside the middle end of the hollow fixing tube. This utility model, because a hollow fixing tube is installed on the surface of the first fixing plate, and a telescopic rod is installed on the surface of the second fixing plate via a rotating shaft, connects the hollow fixing tube and the telescopic rod with fixing bolts. This allows the fixing bolts to be inserted into the second fixing screw hole at different positions, thereby changing the length of the telescopic rod inside the hollow fixing tube, and thus changing the distance between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate.
[0004] While the aforementioned existing technology can stably clamp and fix cables of different diameters inside the two anti-slip friction pads by changing the distance between them, thus increasing the applicability of the device and making it more practical and suitable for widespread promotion and use, it lacks multi-station positioning capabilities. Consequently, it cannot clamp cables of different diameters on the machine tool individually, which is not conducive to the subsequent inspection and maintenance of individual cables and has poor practicality. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market to develop a machine tool cable protection device to help people solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a machine tool cable protection device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when clamping and fixing cables of different diameters on a machine tool, it is not possible to clamp them individually, which is not conducive to the subsequent inspection and maintenance of individual cables and has poor practicality.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a machine tool cable protection device, comprising a base plate, a plurality of lower arc grooves provided on the upper surface of the base plate, a lower rubber pad fixedly installed inside the base plate along the lower arc groove, a plurality of pressure plates provided on the upper surface of the base plate, the number of pressure plates being the same as the number of lower arc grooves, an upper arc groove provided on the lower surface of the pressure plate, the upper arc grooves being positioned corresponding to the lower arc grooves, and an upper rubber pad fixedly installed inside the pressure plate along the upper surface of the upper arc groove.
[0007] Preferably, the base plate has an internal elastic cavity, and a square column is provided inside the elastic cavity. The upper end of the square column extends to the top of the base plate and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate.
[0008] Preferably, a compression spring is provided inside the elastic cavity along the outer side of the square column, a base plate is fixedly installed below the compression spring, the base plate is fixedly connected to the square column, and a top plate is fixedly installed above the compression spring along the outer side of the square column.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom plate has an inner square cavity below the lower arc groove, and the lower rubber pad has multiple heat dissipation holes that communicate with the inner square cavity.
[0010] Preferably, an air intake box is fixedly installed on the front end surface of the base plate, and multiple air intake boxes are provided, with the number of air intake boxes and the inner square cavity being the same and their positions corresponding.
[0011] Preferably, a fan is fixedly installed inside the air intake box, and a filter plate is fixedly installed on one side of the air intake box.
[0012] Preferably, side plates are symmetrically fixedly installed on the lower sides of one side of the base plate, and bolt holes are provided inside the side plates.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This utility model utilizes a base plate with multiple lower arc grooves and corresponding pressure plates with upper arc grooves on the pressure plates to achieve flexible clamping of cables of different diameters. Each combination of upper and lower arc grooves can be independently adjusted to accommodate cables of different diameters, ensuring the stability and tightness of cable fixing. It also avoids the limitations of traditional single-fixation methods for cables of different diameters. Since each pressure plate and its corresponding arc groove combination can be operated independently, when a specific cable needs inspection or maintenance, the pressure plate holding that cable can be easily released without affecting the fixing status of other cables, simplifying the maintenance process and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, by clamping and fixing different cables separately, it can reduce the shaking and friction between different cables and between the cables and the machine tool housing to a certain extent, reducing friction and wear on the cable surface and increasing the protection of the cables.
[0015] This utility model incorporates a compression spring inside the elastic cavity of the base plate, with a square column connected to the pressure plate inside the compression spring. When the pressure plate is pulled to increase the distance between the lower and upper arc grooves for easier cable insertion, the compression spring is compressed. Then, after the pressure plate is released, the elastic tension of the compression spring causes the pressure plate to press down elastically, increasing the stability of the cable.
[0016] This utility model provides an air intake box with a fan at the front end of the base plate. The air intake box is connected to the heat dissipation holes through an inner cavity. When the machine tool cable is fixed and protected, the operation of the fan can draw air from the part of the protective device that is in contact with the cable, increase air flow, improve heat dissipation, and facilitate the stable use of the cable.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a machine tool cable protection device, including a base plate 1. A lower arc groove 101 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1. Multiple lower arc grooves 101 are provided. A lower rubber pad 6 is fixedly installed inside the base plate 1 along the lower part of the lower arc groove 101. A pressure plate 2 is provided above the base plate 1. Multiple pressure plates 2 are provided. The number of pressure plates 2 is the same as the number of lower arc grooves 101. An upper arc groove 201 is provided on the lower surface of the pressure plate 2. The upper arc groove 201 and the lower arc groove 101 are positioned correspondingly. An upper rubber pad 5 is fixedly installed inside the pressure plate 2 along the upper part of the upper arc groove 201.
[0024] In use, the base plate has multiple lower arc grooves 101 and corresponding pressure plates 2 with upper arc grooves 201, which can flexibly clamp cables of different diameters. Each combination of upper arc grooves 201 and lower arc grooves 101 can be independently adjusted to accommodate cables of different diameters, ensuring the stability and tightness of the cable fixation. This reduces the shaking and friction between different cables and between the cable and the machine tool housing, reduces friction and wear on the cable surface, and increases the protection of the cable. It also avoids the limitations of traditional single fixing methods for cables of different diameters. Since each pressure plate 2 and its corresponding arc groove combination can be operated independently, when a specific cable needs to be inspected or maintained, the pressure plate 2 where the cable is located can be easily released without affecting the fixing status of other cables. This simplifies the maintenance process, improves work efficiency, and reduces unnecessary interference or damage to other cables caused by maintenance. It enhances the flexibility and versatility in practical applications. Whether it is the installation of new cables or the replacement of old cables, it can be completed quickly and accurately, reducing the difficulty and cost of operation.
[0025] Furthermore, the base plate 1 has an internal spring cavity 102, and a square column 7 is provided inside the spring cavity 102. The upper end of the square column 7 extends to the top of the base plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 2. A square through hole matching the length and width of the square column 7 is provided inside the base plate 1 along the top of the spring cavity 102 to facilitate the lifting and lowering movement of the square column 7.
[0026] Furthermore, a compression spring 8 is provided inside the elastic cavity 102 along the outer side of the square column 7. A base plate 9 is fixedly installed below the compression spring 8 and is fixedly connected to the square column 7. A top plate 10 is fixedly installed above the compression spring 8 along the outer side of the square column 7. The top plate 10 has a through hole inside to facilitate the movement of the square column 7. When the pressure plate 2 is pulled to increase the distance between the lower arc groove 101 and the upper arc groove 201 to facilitate cable insertion, the compression spring 8 will be compressed. Then, after the pressure plate is released, the elastic tension of the compression spring 8 causes the pressure plate 2 to elastically press down, increasing the stability of the cable.
[0027] Furthermore, an inner square cavity 103 is provided inside the bottom plate 1 along the lower arc groove 101, and a heat dissipation hole 601 is provided inside the lower rubber pad 6. Multiple heat dissipation holes 601 are provided, and the heat dissipation holes 601 are connected to the inner square cavity 103, so that the air inside the lower arc groove 101 can flow to the inner square cavity 103 through the heat dissipation holes 601.
[0028] Furthermore, an air intake box 3 is fixedly installed on the front end face of the base plate 1, and multiple air intake boxes 3 are provided. The number of air intake boxes 3 and the inner square cavity 103 are the same and their positions correspond. A fan 11 is fixedly installed inside the air intake box 3. Through the operation of the fan 11, air can be drawn from the cable clamping and fixing part, increasing airflow and improving the heat dissipation effect of the cable clamping part. A filter plate 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the air intake box 3 to prevent external debris from entering the air intake box 3.
[0029] Furthermore, side plates 4 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the lower sides of the base plate 1. Bolt holes are provided inside the side plates 4, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the side plates 4 by bolts, thus increasing practicality.
[0030] Working principle: During use, when fixing and protecting the machine tool cable, pulling the pressure plate 2 increases the distance between the lower arc groove 101 and the upper arc groove 201. The compression spring 8 will then compress, inserting the cable. Then, the pressure plate 2 is released, and the elastic tension of the compression spring 8 causes the pressure plate 2 to press down elastically, fixing the cable in position. This can reduce the shaking and friction between different cables and between the cable and the machine tool housing to a certain extent, reduce the friction and wear on the cable surface, and increase the protection of the cable. At the same time, the operation of the fan 11 can extract air from the cable clamping and fixing part, increase airflow, improve the heat dissipation effect of the cable clamping part, and help the cable to be used stably.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
