Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable chains, and in particular to a modular splicing cable chain unit. Background Technology

[0002] Cable chains are suitable for reciprocating motion applications and are widely used in automated equipment such as CNC machine tools, robotic arms, lifting and transportation equipment, and automated warehouses. They can provide traction and protection for built-in cables, oil pipes, air pipes, water pipes, etc.

[0003] When existing cable chain units are in use, because the cable chain needs to work in a state of frequent reciprocating motion, and the overall length of the cable chain is relatively long, under the weight of itself and the internal cables, the cable chain will generate a lateral swing force during operation and bending. As a result, the cable chain will deviate from the intended installation position during the bending process. Generally, two parallel sheet metal baffles are first bent from sheet metal, and then these two sheet metal baffles are installed on the machine tool equipment.

[0004] However, existing cable chain units typically use pre-installed and fixed sheet metal baffles, which cannot be adjusted if the length is insufficient, thus failing to meet the needs of on-site installation and resulting in poor performance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a modular splicing cable chain unit.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a modular splicing cable chain unit, comprising a cable chain, wherein the bottom of the cable chain is provided with uniformly distributed guide rails, each guide rail having a first slot on its rear side, each first slot having a limit groove on its inner wall bottom, each limit groove having a fixed ring fixedly connected to its inner wall, each fixed ring having a fixed rod slidably connected through and to one side of its fixed ring, each fixed rod having a spring sleeved on its outer ring, each fixed rod having a mounting block fixedly connected to one end of its fixed rod, each fixed rod having a limit ring fixedly connected to its outer ring bottom, each limit ring having a lever fixedly connected to one side of its outer ring, each guide rail having an insert plate fixedly connected to its front side, each insert plate having a second slot on its bottom, and each guide rail having uniformly distributed rotating rollers rotatably connected to its inner wall bottom.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] A movable groove is provided on one side of the guide rail, and a lever is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the guide rail, and a mounting hole is provided on the top of the mounting plate.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] A plug plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slot.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The second slot engages with the mounting block.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The inner wall of the limiting groove is slidably connected with an installation block.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The inner wall of the limiting groove is slidably connected to a limiting ring.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] In this invention, the guide rail, mounting block, lever, insert plate, and second slot are used to insert the insert plate into the first slot. The guide rail connected to the insert plate is then pushed to move. As the insert plate moves, it presses against the mounting block, causing the fixing rod to slide and compress the spring. When the second slot moves above the mounting block, the spring rebounds, locking the mounting block into the second slot for positioning. This completes the splicing of the two guide rails. The length can be adjusted according to the actual situation, making it flexible and convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Reference Figure 1-6This utility model provides an embodiment of a modular splicing cable chain unit, including a cable chain 1. The bottom of the cable chain 1 is provided with evenly distributed guide rails 2. Each guide rail 2 has a first slot 5 on its rear side. A moving groove 12 is provided on one side of the guide rail 2. When the lever 6 is turned, the lever 6 moves within the moving groove 12 to limit its movement, thereby pulling the fixed rod 11. The lever 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving groove 12. An installation plate 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the guide rail 2. An installation hole 16 is provided on the top of the installation plate 13. The corresponding guide rail 2 can be installed in a specific position using the installation hole 16. The second slot 9 engages with the installation block 4. The installation block 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 14. When the installation block 4 is subjected to force, it will enter the limiting groove 14, allowing the insert plate 8 to enter the first slot 5. A limiting ring 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 14.

[0032] Each slot 5 has a limiting groove 14 at the bottom of its inner wall. A fixing ring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each limiting groove 14. A fixing rod 10 is slidably connected through one side of each fixing ring 15. When the fixing rod 10 slides under force, the spring 11 is compressed. A spring 11 is fitted around the outer ring of each fixing rod 10. A mounting block 4 is fixedly connected to one end of each fixing rod 10. A limiting ring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer ring of the fixing rod 10. A lever 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer ring of each limiting ring 7. Inserting the insertion plate 8... When inserted into the first slot 5, the mounting block 4 will be under force. When the second slot 9 on the insert plate 8 moves above the mounting block 4, the spring 11 rebounds. The limiting ring 7 is connected to the lever plate 6 and limits the spring 11. Insert plates 8 are fixedly connected to the front side of the guide rail 2. The bottom of the insert plate 8 is provided with a second slot 9. The bottom of the inner wall of the guide rail 2 is rotatably connected with evenly distributed rotating rollers 3. The rotating rollers 3 can reduce friction when the drag chain 1 moves. The insert plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slot 5.

[0033] Working principle: In use, place the cable chain 1 above the guide rail 2, and then splice the guide rail 2 according to the actual situation. Insert the insert plate 8 on one guide rail 2 into the first slot 5 of the other guide rail 2, and then push the insert plate 8 to move, which will squeeze the mounting block 4. The fixing rod 10 moves and compresses the spring 11. When the second slot 9 moves to one side of the mounting block 4, the spring 11 will rebound, allowing the mounting block 4 to be inserted into the second slot 9, thus splicing the two guide rails 2. The length can be adjusted according to the actual situation. When the cable chain 1 moves, the rotating roller 3 will rotate with the movement of the cable chain 1 to reduce friction. In use, the guide rail 2 can be installed in a specific position using the mounting hole 16. When disassembly is required, simply move the lever 6 to pull the fixing rod 10 to move, and then move the mounting block 4 into the limiting groove 14, thus disassembling the two guide rails 2 for easy use.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
