Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to corrugated pipe installation technical field, specifically relates to a kind of adjustable tool of quick installation corrugated pipe. BACKGROUND

[0002] The tubular elastic sensitive element is connected into a tubular shape along the folding telescopic direction by foldable corrugated sheets made of plastic for the wiring connection of electric box control cabinet, replacing the original PVC and metal sheath product, and becomes a widely used wire harness sheath product in the market.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the structure unit of the wire harness corrugated pipe lacing band installation of application No. 201922102332.1, a positioning block is provided with a first arc-shaped clamping groove for fixing the corrugated pipe, at least one second arc-shaped clamping groove for installing the lacing band is provided in the middle of the first arc-shaped clamping groove, the depth of the second arc-shaped clamping groove is greater than that of the first arc-shaped clamping groove, the width of the second arc-shaped clamping groove is greater than that of the first arc-shaped clamping groove, and a slope wall on one side of the second arc-shaped clamping groove is provided with a slope top that allows the lacing band to only enter the groove from the other side.

[0004] In the above, through the cooperation of the structure unit and the fixing groove, the butt joint of the corrugated pipe is basically realized, and the continuous installation function of the corrugated pipe is reflected to some extent. However, after reading the technical solution, it is found that the groove body butt joint provides support for the bottom of the corrugated pipe during the extrusion connection of the corrugated pipe port. In essence, the butt joint of the corrugated pipe is directly connected. This method can cause excessive deformation of the corrugated pipe port, thereby affecting the stable butt joint of the corrugated pipe and causing the skew connection problem of the corrugated pipe. Moreover, it takes too long, and once the extrusion connection is completed, the connection length is difficult to adjust, and it is difficult to meet the requirement of butt joint length.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] This utility model embodiment proposes an adjustable quick-installation tool for bellows, including a first sleeve 1; for example, such as Figures 1-3 As shown.

[0025] A corrugated pipe 11 is snapped into the inner side of the first sleeve 1. A connecting block 2 is provided on the side of the first sleeve 1. The connecting block 2 is fitted with a docking assembly 3. The docking assembly 3 includes a rack 31 fixed to the connecting block 2. A guide plate 32 is slidably fitted on the lower surface of the rack 31. A fixing frame 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide plate 32. An adapter frame 34 is provided at one end of the fixing frame 33. A plug rod 36 is installed through the end face of the adapter frame 34. A gear 35 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the plug rod 36. The teeth of the gear 35 mesh with the rack 31. A retaining ring 4 is snapped into the end face of the plug rod 36.

[0026] The inner cavity of the retaining ring 4 is provided with a rubber sleeve 5, and a rotating rod 6 is fixed on the surface of the retaining ring 4.

[0027] The other end of the fixed frame 33 is provided with a second tube sleeve 7, and the second tube sleeve 7 and the first tube sleeve 1 are both semi-circular arc panels.

[0028] Specifically, the first sleeve 1 and the corrugated pipe 11 are snapped together, which allows the corrugated pipe 11 to be installed stably and facilitates flexible docking. The docking component 3 allows the corrugated pipe 11 to be docked and installed more stably and precisely, and the corrugated pipe 11 can more flexibly meet the installation length requirements. The sliding cooperation between the guide plate 32 and the rack 31 can help the rack 31 to move along the surface of the guide plate 32, making the sliding of the rack 31 more stable and preventing the rack 31 from running off course. The insertion rod 36 is installed through the end face of the adapter frame 34, so that the gear 35 can be installed on the surface of the insertion rod 36, which can provide a support point for the rotation of the gear 35. At the same time, the gear 35 meshes with the rack 31, which can provide power for the linear sliding of the rack 31 and match the linear docking effect of the corrugated pipe 11.

[0029] Meanwhile, a rubber sleeve 5 is provided in the inner cavity of the retaining ring 4 so that when the rotating rod 6 rotates on the insert rod 36 (i.e., the gear 35 rotates continuously), the friction is increased by the rubber sleeve 5 so that it will not slip or slip, ensuring that the meshing process between the gear 35 and the rack 31 is continuous and lasting. A second tube sleeve 7 is provided at the other end of the fixing frame 33 so as to fix other bellows 11 and realize the docking of the bellows 11.

[0030] The fixed frame 33 is fitted with a centering component 8; for example, such as Figures 2-4 As shown.

[0031] The alignment component 8 includes a substrate 81, and two substrates 81 are provided. A column 82 is provided on one side of the two substrates 81 facing each other.

[0032] The first long rod 83 and the second long rod 85 are rotatably sleeved at different positions on the outer surface of the column 82. One end of the first long rod 83 is rotatably sleeved with a positioning rod 84, which is embedded in one side of the fixed frame 33.

[0033] The first long rod 83 and the second long rod 85 are arranged in an X shape. The inner side of the other end of the first long rod 83 is fitted with a centering wheel 86. The centering wheels 86 are arranged in a linear pattern, and the other centering wheel 86 in the linear arrangement is fitted with the second long rod 85.

[0034] Specifically, by setting the centering component 8, the bellows 11 maintains center alignment during docking, overcoming the problem of uneven rotational force caused by hand-cranking the rotating rod 6. This further ensures that the end face of the bellows 11 will not be squeezed and damaged during docking, shortening the docking time. Furthermore, a first long rod 83 and a second long rod 85 are respectively fitted onto the surface of the column 82, allowing the first long rod 83 and the second long rod 85 to rotate and form an X-shape. The end face of the X-shaped connecting rod has high stability and can provide symmetrical support to the side of the bellows 11, helping to stabilize the radius of the bellows 11 and prevent it from shifting. This indirectly avoids squeezing and damage to the docking end face, ensuring docking quality. Additionally, a positioning rod 84 is installed at one end of the first long rod 83 to fix that end, helping to stabilize its movement. Simultaneously, the installation of the centering wheel 86 allows it to directly contact the side wall of the bellows 11, avoiding physical damage.

[0035] The rack 31 and guide plate 32 are provided in two sets; for example, such as Figures 3-5 As shown.

[0036] The two sets of racks 31 and guide plates 32 are arranged symmetrically.

[0037] The lower surface of the adapter 34 is fixedly connected to a cross seat 341, and there are two gears 35, with the rotation plane of the two gears 35 being consistent with the displacement plane of the first sleeve 1.

[0038] Specifically, the symmetrical arrangement of the rack 31 and the guide plate 32 ensures that both sides of the bellows 11 are always subjected to a balanced displacement effect, allowing the bellows 11 to not only be displaced but also to achieve a center-to-center docking effect, thus optimizing the docking process and shortening the docking time. In addition, the cross seat 341 installed at the bottom of the adapter frame 34 ensures that the adapter frame 34 is placed stably.

[0039] Working principle: First, the first sleeve 1 is fitted onto the outside of the bellows 11 to make the bellows 11 stably engaged. Then, the rotating rod 6 is shaken, and the rotating rod 6 drives the retaining ring 4 to rotate synchronously. Furthermore, the rotation of the retaining ring 4 will drive the connected insert rod 36 to rotate. Since the insert rod 36 and the gear 35 are connected through, the gear 35 can achieve central rotation. Then, the gear 35, through tooth meshing, allows the rack 31 to move stably along the surface of the guide plate 32. The rack 31, through the fixing action of the connecting block 2, drives the bellows 11 to move synchronously.

[0040] Following the above, during the displacement of the bellows 11, its outer wall surface first contacts the center wheel 86 and pushes it away. The change in the position of the center wheel 86 causes the first long rod 83 and the second long rod 85 to make hinged movements about the column 82. The balance X structure formed by the first long rod 83 and the second long rod 85 will react on the center wheel 86, keeping the relative positions of the multiple center wheels 86 unchanged, continuously providing symmetrical support for the outer wall surface of the bellows 11, and further keeping the center of the bellows 11 unchanged.

[0041] Meanwhile, a fixing frame 33 and an adapter 34 are installed sequentially at one end of the guide plate 32. A second tube sleeve 7 is installed on the side of the adapter 34, and another corrugated pipe 11 is snapped into the inner side of the second tube sleeve 7, thus realizing the concentric docking of the corrugated pipe 11.
