Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable box technology, specifically a double-bearing cable box. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of construction machinery, there is significant room for technological improvement in displacement monitoring systems for large equipment. Current mainstream solutions employ pull-wire displacement sensors (pull-wire boxes) as auxiliary components of the encoder, with a structure consisting of core components such as a rear cover, hub assembly, spring, and flange connector. This device achieves the conversion of displacement to rotational motion through a pull-wire winding mechanism, but practical applications have revealed a significant technical bottleneck: prominent maintenance complexity. Existing designs use a rigid connection between the encoder shaft and the hub flange. When the encoder needs to be replaced, the rear cover, hub, and flange assembly must be disassembled in a specific sequence. This multi-stage disassembly process is not only time-consuming but also poses a major safety hazard due to the accidental release of the spring. Therefore, this project was developed to address these issues in depth. Utility Model Content

[0009] Beneficial effects
[0010] This utility model provides a dual-bearing pull box. It offers the following advantages: The dual-bearing pull box utilizes a coaxial reducing connector to create an independent insertion system for the encoder and pull box, enabling tool-free quick assembly and disassembly, improving encoder replacement efficiency and completely eliminating the risk of spring disassembly; the hub dual-bearing support structure reduces the encoder's axial load, and the composite damping system of spring steel buffer columns and rubber rings absorbs vibration shocks; combined with the low-friction design of the auxiliary telescopic ball, it ensures the encoder's operating accuracy under harsh conditions; the cross-shaped fine-tuning mechanism of the transmission disc provides bidirectional error compensation capability, supporting coupling or dummy shaft connections while maintaining a compact size, extending the encoder's service life.

[0015] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0016] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.
[0017] Example
[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 Since the hub 4 and flange need to be connected to the encoder 6 first, if the encoder 6 needs to be replaced, the entire rear cover of the cable box, hub 4, and flange need to be disassembled in sequence. The installation and disassembly process is quite cumbersome. At the same time, since the replacement process involves the disassembly and assembly of the spring 5, if the operator is not skilled, it may cause personal injury, which is quite dangerous. Since the cable is directly wrapped around the hub 4, and the only support point of the hub 4 is the shaft of the encoder 6, all the force generated by the spring 5 due to winding will act on the shaft of the encoder 6. As a precision electrical component, the encoder 6 will have its service life reduced if it is subjected to force for a long time, which will affect the stability and safety of the equipment.
[0019] Therefore, this application protects the double-bearing cable box. The sleeve 1 and the cover plate 2 are rigidly connected by a precision bolt group to form a fully enclosed protective structure. The bottom of the sleeve 1 is provided with a cylindrical groove and a lead wire hole. The inner side of the cover plate 2 is machined with a bearing 3 mounting position. The bearing 3 seat at the corresponding position of the sleeve 1 forms a double bearing 3 support structure. The hub 4 is supported by a pair of bearings 3 arranged at the front and rear to achieve double support. The outer ring of the bearing 3 is embedded in the bearing 3 seat of the sleeve 1 and the cover plate 2 respectively, and the inner ring forms an interference fit with the journal of the hub 4. This design changes the traditional single-point support to double-point support, which improves the rotation accuracy of the hub 4. Similarly, the encoder 6 is movably inserted into the inner side of the insertion slot of the coaxial reducer 8 through a pin block. The pair of coaxial reducers 8 drive the transmission blocks 11 on them respectively. The pair of transmission blocks 11 are movably inserted into a pair of concave inserts on the transmission disk 10 respectively. Inside the mounting hole 9, a pair of concave insertion holes 9 form a cross shape, allowing for vertical and horizontal fine-tuning. Simultaneously, two pairs of extrusion blocks inside the sleeve rubber ring 12 provide lateral compression and limiting of the pair of transmission blocks 11. This allows for adjustment of the encoder 6 and hub 4's axis by external force. The sleeve cylindrical block 7 and sleeve rubber ring 12 provide cushioning during rotation. A double coaxial reducing connector 8 achieves a flexible connection between the encoder 6 and hub 4. One end of the connector is inserted into the encoder 6 shaft without clearance via a pin block, while the other end is circumferentially positioned within the hub 4's inner hole via a pin groove. The transmission block 11 engages with the cross-shaped concave insertion hole 9 of the transmission disc 10, forming a two-way vertical and horizontal fine-tuning space. This ensures transmission accuracy, absorbs installation errors, and assists the telescopic ball in rolling freely within the ball groove, further reducing frictional resistance during adjustment.
[0020] In summary, the cable box, as a single unit, is connected to the encoder 6. Replacing either the encoder 6 or the cable box only requires replacing one of these components. In particular, replacing the encoder 6 eliminates the need to remove the cable box as well, making the process quick and convenient and significantly reducing the difficulty for workers. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to disassemble the spring 5, avoiding the risk of injury to workers from the spring 5 during operation and ensuring personnel safety.
[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
