The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] A cable protection device for geological geophysical exploration equipment, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the support includes a bracket 1, which is bent in a three-dimensional manner and includes an L-shaped tube, a U-shaped tube, and an inclined tube. The end of the inclined tube is connected to one end of the U-shaped tube, and the other end of the U-shaped tube is connected to the L-shaped tube. A rotating shaft 2 is provided at the end of the L-shaped tube of the support 1. A bearing plate 4 is detachably mounted on the rotating shaft 2. A long winding base plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bearing plate 4. A drive plate 11 with a groove is welded to the other side of the bearing plate 4. An auxiliary plate 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the winding base plate 5. The bearing plate 4, the winding base plate 5, and the auxiliary plate 6 are a whole and can rotate on the rotating shaft 2. A cable 21 is wound on the winding base plate 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, by setting the bracket 1, not only is the main support point provided for the device, but a triangular frame is also formed to ensure the overall stability. The set bearing plate 4, winding base plate 5, and auxiliary plate 6 are the main body on which the cable 21 is wound, and are also the core of this device. The detachable installation method allows the whole to be detached from the rotating shaft 2 and installed at any time.

[0034] Specifically, a volute housing 7 is installed on the rotating shaft 2 in a detachable manner via bolts; the width of the volute housing 7 is greater than the total width of the bearing plate 4, the winding base plate 5, and the auxiliary plate 6; a limit nut 3 is provided on the outer side of the volute housing 7; and a groove 8 is provided at its front end.

[0035] By setting the volute housing 7, the cable 21 can be protected from external environmental interference, such as rain and snow or damage from falling rocks when working underground; the setting of the limiting nut 3 can fit the volute housing 7 onto the rotating shaft 2 and fix the volute housing 7 at the top through the internal hexagonal design.

[0036] Specifically, the bracket 1 has a mounting plate 9 fixedly installed at the bottom rear by bolts; the mounting plate 9 has a motor 10 fixedly connected to its top by bolts; a chain assembly 12 is installed on the drive shaft of the motor 10, and the other end of the chain assembly 12 is connected to the drive plate 11; the auxiliary plate 6 has a ring of slots 14 on its outer side.

[0037] By setting up the motor 10, the drive disc 11 can be driven by electricity to rotate the bearing disc 4, thereby achieving the effect of electric drive for winding the cable, effectively freeing up manual winding. If there is no electricity in the work area, the cable can also be manually wound up through the slots 14 on the auxiliary disc 6.

[0038] Specifically, the bracket 1 has a handle 16 on one side of its top end, and the bracket 1 also has an anti-slip pad 20 on the surface that contacts the ground. Both the handle 16 and the anti-slip pad 20 are made of insulating rubber pad material.

[0042] Specifically, the bracket 1 has a pair of quick-release screws 17 installed on its lower front side, and the quick-release screws 17 are detachably mounted with a brush plate 18, and the brush plate 18 has a flexible brush on its upper side.

[0043] By setting up the brush plate 18, the cable 21 can be inserted over the brush plate 18, and the brush can be used to remove dust and dirt from the surface of the cable 21. The removable design does not prevent the cable 21 from being removed between the brush plate 18 and the quick-release screw 17.

[0044] Specifically, a reflective strip 15 is fixedly installed on the rear outer surface of the volute shell 7, and a reflective groove 13 is provided on the outer surface of the auxiliary disk 6.

[0045] By setting up the reflective strip 15 and the auxiliary disk 6, the device can have clear reflection under the illumination of other light sources in dark environments, enabling the device to be identified more accurately from the position of the light source.

[0046] Working Principle: This device is assembled into a support frame 1, resulting in a compact structure suitable for field or underground operations. The mounting plate 4, winding base 5, and auxiliary plate 6 simultaneously wind and unwind the cable 21 from within the device. The volute housing 7 provides excellent protection for the cable 21 against external damage. The motor 10 and slot 14 allow for electric or manual winding and unwinding of the cable 21, respectively. The groove 8 and brush plate 18 located in front of the volute housing 7 effectively remove dust and debris from the cable.
