Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical protection devices, and more specifically to a flexible cable protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial equipment, flexible wiring or conduits such as cables, liquid pipes, and gas pipes often need to be routed from the cabinet to the cabinet door. Because the cabinet and door open and close, the cables or conduits repeatedly rub against the cabinet and door at the turning points. Prolonged friction can easily damage the cables or conduits, leading to problems such as electrical leaks, gas leaks, and liquid leaks. These problems not only reduce the equipment's lifespan and increase maintenance costs, but in severe cases, they can also endanger the lives of users.
[0003] Therefore, this application studies a flexible cable protection structure that effectively protects cables, reduces the risk of friction damage, increases equipment lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to effectively protect cables, reduce the risk of friction damage, improve equipment lifespan, and reduce maintenance costs, this application provides a flexible cable protection structure.
[0005] This application provides a flexible cable protection structure, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A flexible cable protection structure includes a cable sheath with deformation capability. The cable sheath is equipped with a fixing seat near both ends. One fixing seat is installed inside a cabinet, and the other fixing seat is installed on the cabinet door. The cable sheath has several bends spaced apart along its length.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the cable passes through the protective tube, which wraps around the outer perimeter of the cable. This avoids direct friction between the cable and the cabinet or cabinet door, reducing cable wear during cabinet door opening and closing. The bends allow the protective tube to adapt to changes in the opening and closing angle of the cabinet door, preventing damage from forced bending. This further effectively protects the cable, reduces the risk of friction damage, increases equipment lifespan, and lowers maintenance costs.
[0008] Optionally, the protective tube has an installation port along its length and extends through both ends of the protective tube.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective tube can be opened through the installation port, which facilitates the installation of the cable. Because the protective tube has the ability to deform, it can restore its original shape to wrap the cable after the cable is inserted through the installation port, thus protecting the cable.
[0010] Optionally, the bend is opened near both ends of the protective tube and is located on both sides of the mounting port, communicating with the mounting port.
[0011] Optionally, the bend is located in the middle section of the conduit and on the side of the conduit away from the mounting port.
[0012] Optionally, it also includes a pressure block, which is detachably connected to the fixing base, and a fixing hole is formed between the pressure block and the fixing base.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing holes are used to fix the cables, so that the cables can be installed more stably.
[0014] Optionally, a rubber tube may also be included, which is installed in the fixing hole.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the cable is fixed by the rubber tube, and the rubber tube is locked by the pressure block, so that the rubber tube can stably fix the cable and better protect the cable.
[0016] Optionally, the rubber tube has a fixing port along its length, and the fixing port passes through both ends of the rubber tube.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, cable installation becomes easier.
[0018] Optionally, it also includes locking bolts, which pass through both sides of the pressure block and are screwed to the fixing seat.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure block can be installed conveniently.
[0020] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0021] 1. The cable passes through the conduit, which wraps around the cable to prevent direct friction between the cable and the cabinet or door, reducing wear and tear on the cable during door opening and closing. The bends in the conduit allow it to adapt to changes in the door's opening and closing angle, preventing damage from forced bending. This further protects the cable, reduces the risk of friction damage, extends equipment lifespan, and lowers maintenance costs.
[0022] 2. This allows the protective tube to be opened through the installation port, facilitating cable installation. Because the protective tube has the ability to deform, it can return to its original shape and wrap around the cable after it is installed through the installation port, thus protecting the cable.
[0023] 3. Fixing holes are used to secure cables, allowing them to be installed more stably. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0032] This application discloses a flexible cable protection structure. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The flexible cable protection structure includes a deformable cable sheath 102, which can be made of materials such as rubber. A mounting base 101 is installed near both ends of the cable sheath 102. One mounting base 101 is installed inside the cabinet 203, and the other mounting base 101 is installed on the cabinet door 204. The mounting base 101 is fixed to the cabinet 203 and the cabinet door 204 by screws. Specifically, the cabinet 203 and the cabinet door 204 have studs, and the mounting base 101 has through holes. During installation, the studs pass through the through holes, and the mounting nuts 202 are used to screw the studs to fix the mounting base 101. The two mounting bases 101 are at the same height. In other embodiments, it can also be fixed by welding, bonding, snap-fitting, or other methods.
[0033] Reference Figure 2The cable 201 passes through the conduit 102, which protects the cable 201 and prevents the cabinet door 204 from directly contacting and damaging the cable 201 with the cabinet body 203. The conduit 102 has several bends 106 spaced apart along its length. The bends 106 are triangular in shape, which allows the conduit 102 to deform more flexibly when the cabinet door 204 is opened and closed, so as to better protect the cable 201.
[0034] In some embodiments, the cable conduit 102 has an installation port 107 along its length and extends through both ends of the cable conduit 102, that is, the cross-section of the cable conduit 102 is a "C" shaped structure, which can facilitate the installation of the cable 201, and when the cable conduit 102 is installed, the installation port 107 faces away from the cabinet 203 and the cabinet door 204.
[0035] In some embodiments, the bend 106 is formed near both ends of the conduit 102 and is located on both sides of the mounting port 107, communicating with the mounting port 107.
[0036] In some embodiments, the bend 106 is formed in the middle section of the conduit 102 and is located on the side of the conduit 102 opposite to the mounting port 107. This allows for more flexible bending capabilities at different locations on the conduit 102, making the conduit 102 less prone to damage and thus providing better protection for the cable 201.
[0037] In some embodiments, a pressure block 103 is further included, which is detachably connected to the fixing base 101, and a fixing hole is formed between the pressure block 103 and the fixing base 101. The cable 201 is installed in the fixing hole and fixed by the pressure block 103, so that the cable 201 can be installed stably.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a rubber tube 104 is also included, which is installed in a fixing hole. The rubber tube 104 is fixed in the mounting hole by a pressure block 103, and the cable 201 passes through the rubber tube 104, which fixes and protects the cable 201.
[0039] In some embodiments, the rubber tube 104 has a fixing port 108 along its length, and the fixing port 108 passes through both ends of the rubber tube 104. The cable 201 can be easily installed inside the rubber tube 104 through the fixing port 108.
[0040] In some embodiments, the device also includes locking bolts 105, which pass through both sides of the pressure block 103 and are screwed to the fixing seat 101. The two sides of the pressure block 103 are also located on both sides of the fixing hole. The pressure block 103 can be easily locked onto the fixing seat 101 by the locking bolts 105 to fix the rubber tube 104.
[0041] The implementation principle of the flexible cable protection structure in this application embodiment is as follows: the cable 201 passes through the protective tube 102, and the protective tube 102 wraps the outer periphery of the cable 201, which can avoid direct friction between the cable 201 and the cabinet 203 and the cabinet door 204, and reduce the wear of the cable 201 during the opening and closing of the cabinet door 204. The bending opening 106 can facilitate the protective tube 102 to adapt to the angle change of the opening and closing of the cabinet door 204, avoid the protective tube 102 being forcibly bent and damaged, further effectively protect the cable 201, reduce the risk of friction damage, improve the service life of the equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.
