[0002] For the cable routing method of mini excavators, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 6 The system mainly includes an existing on-board charger (21), an existing cable (22), an existing cab pillar (23), a first existing bracket (24), a second existing bracket (25), and an existing external power supply (26). The existing cable (22) is usually led out from the existing on-board charger (21) behind the driver's seat in the cab, tied to the existing cab pillar (23) with cable ties, and then fixed to the first existing bracket (24) with wire clamps. Finally, it is led down through the rotatable second existing bracket (25) and connected to the existing external power supply (26).

[0025] See Figures 1 to 5This embodiment provides a cab cable protection structure, including a cab frame 6, which includes a roof 601 and several columns 602. The columns 602 are respectively disposed at the bottom of several side edges of the roof 601. A first protective cover 3 is provided on one of the columns 602, and a third protective cover 9 is provided on the roof 601. One end of the third protective cover 9 is connected to the first protective cover 3 through a second protective cover 8. A fourth protective cover 10 is provided next to the other end of the third protective cover 9. The fourth protective cover 10 is rotatably disposed on the roof 601 and a fifth protective cover 11 is provided on the fourth protective cover 10. A vehicle charger 1 is provided next to the first protective cover 3. The vehicle charger 1 is connected to one end of a first cable 2. The first cable 2 passes through the first protective cover 3, and the other end of the first cable 2 is connected to one end of a second cable 12. The second cable 12 passes through the second protective cover 8 and the third protective cover 9 in sequence, and the other end of the second cable 12 passes between the fourth protective cover 10 and the fifth protective cover 11. Function: (1) By setting up a cab frame, the cab frame includes a roof and several columns, and the columns are respectively set at the bottom of several side edges of the roof; a first guard is provided on one of the columns, a third guard is provided on the roof, one end of the third guard is connected to the first guard through a second guard, a fourth guard is provided next to the other end of the third guard, the fourth guard is rotatably set on the roof, and a fifth guard is provided on the fourth guard; thus, on the cab frame, the path from the column to the roof forms the first guard, the second guard, the third guard, and the fourth guard in sequence, wherein the fourth guard and the fifth guard cooperate and can rotate relative to the roof. (2) A vehicle-mounted charger is installed on one side of the first protective cover. The vehicle-mounted charger is connected to one end of the first cable. The first cable passes through the first protective cover, and the other end of the first cable is connected to one end of the second cable. The second cable passes through the second protective cover and the third protective cover in sequence. The other end of the second cable passes between the fourth and fifth protective covers. Thus, after the first cable comes out of the vehicle-mounted charger, it passes through the first protective cover and connects to the second cable. After passing through the second and third protective covers in sequence, the second cable continues to pass between the fourth and fifth protective covers and can cooperate with an external power source (not shown in the figure). Since the fourth and fifth protective covers can rotate relative to the cab frame, the second cable and the fourth and fifth protective covers can have a certain degree of freedom during the movement of excavators and other construction machinery, thereby adapting to the moving working environment. From this analysis, it can be seen that the cab cable protection structure of this utility model can be applied to excavators and other construction machinery.

The first mounting holes 304 are connected to pipe clamps 7 by bolts 16, and the pipe clamps 7 are installed on the column 602. Function: The connectors of the first cable 2 and the second cable 12 are installed inside the end housing 303, so that the connectors can be connected by utilizing the enlarged space at the upper end of the first protective cover 3 (i.e., the end housing 303). The folded edge of this enlarged space has the first mounting holes 304. The first mounting holes 304, through the cooperation of bolts 16 and pipe clamps 7, fix the upper end of the first protective cover 3 to the column of the cab frame 6.

[0029] Specifically, the lower end of the second cover 8 is provided with a second mounting hole 801, which is connected to the end housing 303 by bolts 16; the lower end of the second cover 8 is also provided with a third connecting hole 802, and the lower end of the second cover 8 is fixed to the column 602 by a clamp 4, which passes through the third connecting hole 802. Function: The second mounting hole 801 at the lower end of the second cover 8 allows it to be connected to the upper end of the first cover 3 by bolts; and the clamp 4 passing through the third connecting hole 802 fixes the lower end of the second cover 8 to the column 602 of the cab frame 6, thus protecting the second cable 12 by the second cover 8.

[0030] Specifically, the upper end of the second protective cover 8 is provided with several third mounting holes 803, and one end of the third protective cover 9 is provided with several fourth mounting holes 901. The third mounting holes 803 and the fourth mounting holes 901 are connected and fixed by bolts 16. Function: The connection and fixation of the third mounting holes 803 and the fourth mounting holes 901 by bolts 16 realizes the connection and fixation of the upper end of the second protective cover 8 and the third protective cover 9.

[0031] Specifically, a crossbeam 603 is provided on the ceiling 601, the third cover 9 is fixed on the crossbeam 603, and the second cable 12 is fixed on the crossbeam 603 by three wire clamps 15; the fourth cover 10 is rotatably mounted on the crossbeam 603, the fourth cover 10 has a U-shaped groove with the opening of the U-shaped groove facing upward, the second cable 12 is placed in the U-shaped groove, and the fifth cover 11 is a U-shaped cover, which is upside down on top of the fourth cover 10. Function: The crossbeam 603 allows the third cover 9 and the second cable 12 to be fixed on the crossbeam above the cab 6, while the third cover 9 provides protection for the second cable 12. The fourth cover 10 is rotatably mounted on the crossbeam 603 (optionally, the fourth cover 10 can be rotatably mounted on the crossbeam 603 by bolts or other structures, allowing for rotation). The fourth cover 10 has a U-shaped groove with the opening facing upwards. The second cable 12 is placed in the U-shaped groove, thus protecting the second cable 12 from being covered by the fifth cover 11 and the fourth cover 10. Preferably, the fourth cover 10 and the fifth cover 11 can be fixed by the mounting holes on both sides of the U-shape, facilitating the fifth cover 11 to provide protection above the second cable 12.

[0032] Specifically, the two folded plates of the fourth protective cover 10 are each provided with a plurality of fourth connecting holes 1001. The second cable 12 is fixed to the fourth protective cover 10 by a plurality of cable ties 14. The cable ties 14 on the fourth protective cover 10 pass through the fourth connecting holes 1001, and both ends of the fourth protective cover 10 have downwardly bent edges 1002. Function: The cable ties pass through the fourth connecting holes 1001 at the bottom of the U-shaped groove to fix the second cable 12 to the fourth protective cover 10; and the downwardly bent edges at both ends of the fourth protective cover 10 effectively prevent cable wear.
