[0038] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cable laying and connecting device provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of a cable laying device provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another cable laying and connecting device provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. See also... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cable laying connection device 100 includes a first partition 10, a second partition 11, a first conduit 20, a second conduit 21, and a tension detection module 30. The tension detection module 30 is located between the first partition 10 and the second partition 11. The first end of the tension detection module 30 is connected to the traction rope 200, and the second end is connected to the cable 300. The tension detection module 30 is used to detect the traction force of the traction rope 200. The first conduit 20 is located at the end of the first partition 10 away from the tension detection module 30 and is used to spray lubricant onto the cable 300. The second conduit 21 is located at the end of the second partition 21 away from the tension detection module 30 and is used to spray lubricant onto the cable 300.

[0039] Specifically, during cable laying, the cable is usually pulled directly by a cable traction device. This generates friction between the cable and the cable conduit, which can lead to wear on the cable insulation, especially during long-distance laying. This invention addresses this by installing a cable laying connection device 100 between the traction device 400 and the cable 300. This device not only monitors the traction force of the traction rope 200 in real time but also sprays lubricant onto the cable 300, reducing friction between the cable 300 and the conduit. The cable laying connection device 100 includes a first partition 10 and a second partition 11. A tension detection module 30 is disposed between the first partition 10 and the second partition 11. The tension detection module 30 is fixed on either the first partition 10 or the second partition 11. The first end of the tension detection module 30 is connected to the traction rope 200, and the second end is connected to the cable 300. The tension detection module 30 can detect the traction force of the traction rope 200 in real time and provide real-time feedback of the traction force to the cable laying equipment, ensuring that the tension of the traction device is within a safe threshold and avoiding cable damage due to excessive tension. When the cable laying equipment receives the traction force from the tension detection module 30, it can trigger an alarm and automatically stop when the traction force suddenly increases, preventing overload shutdown or mechanical failure. The cable laying connection device 100 also has a first conduit 20 at the end of the first partition 10 away from the tensile strength detection module 30, and a second conduit 21 at the end of the second partition 11 away from the tensile strength detection module 30. The first conduit 20 and the second conduit 21 can spray lubricant onto the cable 300. The first conduit 20 and the second conduit 21 can be flexible hoses, and the other ends of the first conduit 20, the second conduit 21, and the traction rope 200 are connected to the traction device 400. Lubricant is dynamically released through the first conduit 20 and the second conduit 21, releasing an appropriate amount of lubricant based on the magnitude of the traction force and the condition of the conduit. For example, a small amount of lubricant is released when the traction force is small, and a large amount of lubricant is released when the traction force is large. When the cable passes through bends, long distances, or conduits in high-humidity environments, a large amount of lubricant can also be released, effectively reducing the coefficient of friction between the cable 300 and the cable conduit, and reducing the friction of the cable 300.

[0040] The cable laying connection device provided in this embodiment of the invention uses a tension detection module to detect and provide feedback on the traction force on the traction rope in real time. Construction personnel can adjust the laying equipment and process promptly to ensure that the traction force is within the safe range that the cable can withstand, thereby protecting the cable's integrity. Furthermore, by monitoring the traction force in real time, construction personnel can adjust the laying direction and intensity based on the monitoring data, ensuring that the cable is laid in a straight line according to design requirements. It also allows for timely fault detection, improving the accuracy and precision of the laying process, and guaranteeing construction quality and safety. By setting up a first and second pipe to spray lubricant onto the cable during the laying process according to the magnitude of the traction force, a lubricating film can be formed between the cable surface and the inner wall of the pipe, effectively reducing friction, minimizing wear and scratches on the cable sheath, making it easier for the cable to pass through the pipe, reducing traction force loss, and lowering the difficulty of on-site construction.

[0041] Optional, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another cable laying and connecting device provided as an embodiment of the present utility model. Based on the above embodiments, see... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The cable laying connection device 100 also includes a first coupling 40 and a second coupling 41. The first end of the first coupling 40 is connected to the traction rope 200, and the second end is connected to the first end of the tension detection module 30. The first end of the second coupling 41 is connected to the second end of the tension detection module 30, and the second end is connected to the cable 300.

[0042] Specifically, the cable laying connection device 100 also includes a first coupling 40 between the traction rope 200 and the tension detection module 30, and a second coupling 41 between the tension detection module 30 and the cable 300. If the traction rope 200 is directly connected to the tension detection module 30, the internal parts of the tension detection module 30 are easily damaged when the traction force is large. By setting the first coupling 40 between the traction rope 200 and the tension detection module 30, it is ensured that the traction force on the traction rope 200 can be stably transmitted to the tension detection module 30, avoiding damage to the tension detection module 30 caused by a sudden increase in traction force. Moreover, the high-precision coupling has a small gap and high transmission accuracy, which can ensure that there is almost no energy loss and deformation during the transmission of traction force, thereby improving the accuracy of traction force measurement. A second coupling 41 is provided between the tensile testing module 30 and the cable 300. The cable is driven by the second coupling 41. The second coupling 41 can prevent the tensile force on the cable 300 from going out of control due to unstable transmission, thereby protecting the cable 300 from damage caused by excessive tension.

[0043] This invention establishes a first coupling between the traction rope and the tension detection module, and a second coupling between the tension detection module and the cable. The first and second couplings ensure stable transmission of traction force, preventing direct impact transmission and effectively protecting the tension detection module and cable from damage due to excessive tension. Furthermore, they ensure minimal energy loss and deformation during traction force transmission, avoiding angular deviations and thus improving the accuracy of traction force detection by the tension detection module.

[0044] Optional, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another cable laying and connecting device provided as an embodiment of the present utility model. Based on the above embodiments, see... Figure 5 The cable laying connection device 100 also includes a connecting rope 50; the first end of the connecting rope 50 is connected to the second end of the second coupling 41, and the second end is connected to the cable 300.

[0045] Specifically, the second coupling 41 is connected to the cable via a connecting rope 50. The first end of the connecting rope 50 is connected to the second end of the second coupling 41, and the second end of the connecting rope 50 is connected to the cable head of the cable 300. The connecting rope 50 prevents the second coupling 41 from being directly connected to the cable 300. The connecting rope 50 provides excellent cushioning and protection, resulting in a more even distribution of tension on the cable 300 and reducing damage caused by localized stress concentration. Furthermore, the connection between the cable 300 and the second coupling 41 via the connecting rope 50 makes installation easier and saves installation time.

[0046] This invention uses a connecting rope between the cable and the second coupling to connect the cable, preventing the cable from directly connecting to the second coupling and thus avoiding damage to the cable from the second coupling. Furthermore, the connecting rope also provides excellent cushioning, preventing sudden increases in tension from causing mechanical damage to the cable.

[0047] Optional, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another cable laying and connecting device provided as an embodiment of the present utility model. Based on the above embodiments, see... Figure 6 The cable laying connection device 100 further includes a first vertical plate 60 and a second vertical plate 61; the first vertical plate 60 is located at the end of the first coupling 40 away from the tensile testing module 30, and is fixed to the first partition 10 and / or the second partition 11, and the first vertical plate 60 is used to fix the first coupling 40; the second vertical plate 61 is located at the end of the second coupling 41 away from the tensile testing module 30, and is fixed to the first partition 10 and / or the second partition 11, and the second vertical plate 61 is used to fix the second coupling 41.

[0048] Specifically, the first vertical plate 60 in the cable laying connection device 100 primarily serves to fix the first coupling 40. The first vertical plate 60 can be connected to the first partition 10 and / or the second partition 11 to secure it. The second partition 61 is located at the end of the second coupling 41 furthest from the tension detection module 30, primarily serving to fix the second coupling 41. The second vertical plate 61 can be connected to the first partition 10 and / or the second partition 11 to secure it. By using the first partition 60 and the second partition 61 to fix the first coupling 40 and the second coupling 41, the lateral movement of the first coupling 40 and the second coupling 41 under traction is prevented, thus improving the stability of the cable laying connection device 100.

[0049] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, see also... Figure 6 The first vertical plate 60 has a through hole through which the traction rope 200 is connected to the first coupling 40; the second vertical plate 61 has a through hole through which the connecting rope 50 is connected to the second coupling 41.

[0050] Specifically, the first vertical plate 60 is used to fix the first coupling 40, and the second vertical plate 61 is used to fix the second coupling 41. Through holes are provided on the first vertical plate 60 and the second vertical plate 61. The traction rope 200 is connected to the first end of the first coupling 40 through the through holes, and the connecting rope 50 is connected to the second coupling 41 through the through holes on the second vertical plate 60.

[0051] This utility model, by setting a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate with through holes, can not only fix the first coupling and the second coupling, but also allow the traction rope and the connecting rope to pass through the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate respectively. This effectively prevents the first coupling and the second coupling from swaying left and right under the action of tension, and can also stabilize the traction rope in the middle of the first vertical plate, thereby improving the stability of the cable laying connection device.

[0052] Optional, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of another cable laying and connecting device provided as an embodiment of the present utility model. Based on the above embodiments, see... Figure 7 The cable laying connection device 100 also includes a housing 70, which encloses the first partition 10, the second partition 11, the first vertical plate 60, and the second vertical plate 61; wherein the housing 70 is cylindrical.

[0053] Specifically, the cable laying connection device 100 is externally provided with a housing 70, which can be cylindrical. Two bottom surfaces of the cylindrical housing 70 have through holes. The traction rope 200 is connected to the first coupling 40 through these through holes, and the connecting rope 50 is also connected to the second coupling 41 through these through holes. The cylindrical housing 70 encloses the first partition 10 and the second partition 11, which are fixed together with the housing 70. The first pipe 20 is located between the first partition 10 and the housing 70, and the second pipe 21 is located between the second partition 11 and the housing 70. The first vertical plate 60 and the second vertical plate 61 are also inside the housing 70 and are fixed to the first partition 10 and / or the second partition 11, respectively.

[0054] Optionally, the tension detection module 30 is a tension sensor. The tension detection module 30 transmits the traction information via wired or wireless means. The lubricant can be a polymer gel or an environmentally friendly grease.

[0055] Specifically, the tension detection module 30 primarily detects the traction force of the traction rope 200 in real time. The tension detection module 30 can be a tension sensor, which acquires the traction force of the coupling in real time and transmits the traction force information to the operator via wired or wireless means. The traction mechanism 400 can automatically adjust the tension based on the real-time feedback traction force information, ensuring that the tension is always within a safe threshold, significantly reducing the risk of overload shutdown and mechanical damage. Wired methods can include fiber optic, RS-485 communication, CAN bus, etc., while wireless methods can include satellite communication, cellular network, Bluetooth communication, etc. The lubricant sprayed onto the cable by the first pipe 20 and the second pipe can be a polymer gel or environmentally friendly grease, which can lubricate and protect the cable.

[0056] This utility model embodiment also provides a cable laying device, see [link]. Figure 2 The cable laying equipment includes a cable laying connection device 100 and a traction mechanism 400 as provided in any of the above embodiments. The traction mechanism 400 is connected to the first pipe 20, the second pipe 21, and the traction rope 200. The traction mechanism 400 is equipped with a power mechanism, a lubricant storage device, and a pressure device. The power mechanism generates traction force, which drives the cable laying connection device 100 via the traction rope 200, thereby driving the cable 300. The traction mechanism 400 can automatically adjust the tension based on real-time feedback of the traction force information to ensure that the tension is always within a safe threshold. When the traction force exceeds the threshold, an alarm message can be issued or the machine can automatically stop. The lubricant storage device stores lubricant, and the pressure device applies pressure to the first pipe 20 and the second pipe 21 to control the release amount of lubricant. Since the cable laying equipment provided in this embodiment includes the cable laying connection device provided in this embodiment, it also has the same beneficial effects, which will not be described again here.
