Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable chain technology, and specifically relates to an anti-collapse corrugated tube type dust-free cable chain. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of automation equipment and precision machinery, cable chains are used to pull and protect cables, air pipes, water pipes, and other pipelines. Cleanroom cable chains are used in environments requiring cleanliness. The principle of a cleanroom cable chain is to house cables, air pipes, water pipes, and other pipelines inside the chain. This prevents dust generated by friction during cable and pipeline movement from escaping into the equipment and prevents external contaminants from entering the pipelines inside the chain. This allows the equipment to operate stably in a cleanroom environment for extended periods and ensures product quality.

[0003] Existing cleanroom cable carriers have several shortcomings when used in cleanroom environments: their dustproof effect is inadequate, failing to effectively prevent dust generation and dispersion, thus affecting the normal operation and service life of the equipment; their wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and antistatic properties need improvement, failing to meet the low dust generation requirements and special operating conditions of cleanrooms. Furthermore, traditional cleanroom cable carriers have limited space for accommodating pipelines and lack effective self-supporting structures, which can cause the cable carrier to collapse, requiring additional support components and increasing the complexity of the equipment layout.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the lack of an effective self-supporting structure in the existing cleanroom cable chain technology, which causes the cable chain to collapse, there is a need to provide a collapse-resistant corrugated tube type cleanroom cable chain. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a non-collapse corrugated tube type dust-free cable chain to solve the problem that existing dust-free cable chains lack an effective self-supporting structure, which can cause the cable chain to collapse.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a collapsible corrugated tube type dust-free cable chain, comprising a dust-free cable chain body and an anti-collapse structure, wherein...

[0007] The dust-free cable chain body is a tubular structure, and multiple annular protrusions are provided along the circumference of the dust-free cable chain body.

[0008] The anti-collapse structure is fixed to the annular protrusion, and the anti-collapse structure protrudes from the surface of the annular protrusion.

[0009] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized. Each of the annular protrusions is provided with a corresponding anti-collapse structure, and there is a clearance between adjacent anti-collapse structures to allow the deformation of the dust-free cable chain body.

[0010] To better realize this utility model, further optimizations are made to the above structure. The dust-free cable chain body includes an upper shell and a lower shell. The upper shell and the lower shell are semi-circular tubes that fit together. The upper shell and the lower shell are detachably connected.

[0011] To better realize this utility model, further optimizations are made to the above structure. One of the upper shell and the lower shell is provided with multiple slots on both sides, and the other shell is provided with multiple locking platforms on both sides. The upper shell and the lower shell are engaged with the locking platforms through the slots.

[0012] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized, and a cavity for placing pipelines is formed between the upper shell and the lower shell.

[0013] To better realize this utility model, further optimizations are made to the above structure. The upper shell is integrally provided with multiple upper semi-annular protrusions, and the lower shell is integrally provided with multiple lower semi-annular protrusions. When the upper shell and the lower shell are engaged, the corresponding upper semi-annular protrusions and lower semi-annular protrusions constitute the annular protrusions.

[0014] To better realize this utility model, further optimization is made to the above structure. The number of anti-collapse structures is one or more sets, and each set of anti-collapse structures is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the annular protrusion. When the number of anti-collapse structures is two or more sets, the anti-collapse structures of adjacent sets are arranged at intervals along the arc direction of the annular protrusion.

[0015] To better realize this utility model, further optimizations are made to the above structure. The anti-collapse structure is a cuboid with a length of 2mm-30mm, a width of 2mm-50mm, and a height of 1-10mm.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] This utility model provides a non-collapse corrugated tube type dust-free cable chain, including a dust-free cable chain body and a non-collapse structure. The dust-free cable chain body is a tubular structure with multiple annular protrusions along the circumference of the dust-free cable chain body. The non-collapse structure is fixed to the annular protrusions and protrudes from the surface of the annular protrusions.

[0018] The above structure, by setting multiple annular protrusions along the circumference of the cleanroom cable carrier body, makes the anti-collapse structure rectangular, and sets the anti-collapse structure on the annular protrusions. When the cleanroom cable carrier body bears the weight of the pipeline, the rectangular anti-collapse structure on the annular protrusions prevents the surface of the cleanroom cable carrier body from deforming downward, thereby making the cleanroom cable carrier self-supporting, eliminating the need for external support, simplifying the equipment layout and reducing equipment costs.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] A type of anti-collapse corrugated tube dust-free cable chain includes a dust-free cable chain body 1 and an anti-collapse structure 2. The dust-free cable chain body 1 is a tubular structure with a plurality of annular protrusions 3 along the circumference of the dust-free cable chain body 1. The anti-collapse structure 2 is fixed on the annular protrusions 3 and protrudes from the surface of the annular protrusions 3.

[0030] The above structure, by setting multiple annular protrusions 3 along the circumference of the cleanroom cable carrier body 1, sets the anti-collapse structure 2 in a cuboid shape, and sets the anti-collapse structure 2 on the annular protrusions 3. When the cleanroom cable carrier body 1 bears the weight of the pipeline, the cuboid anti-collapse structure 2 on the annular protrusions 3 prevents the surface of the cleanroom cable carrier body 1 from deforming downward, thereby making the cleanroom cable carrier self-supporting, eliminating the need for external support, simplifying the equipment layout and reducing equipment costs.

[0031] Each of the aforementioned annular protrusions 3 is provided with a corresponding anti-collapse structure 2, and there is a clearance between adjacent anti-collapse structures 2 to allow deformation of the dust-free cable chain body 1. That is, the anti-collapse structure 2 on each annular protrusion 3 ensures that each segment of the cable chain has an anti-collapse effect, and the clearance ensures that it will not affect the deformation of the cable chain, making the cable chain adaptable to various environmental conditions.

[0032] The aforementioned cleanroom cable chain body 1 includes an upper housing 4 and a lower housing 5, which are semi-circular tubes that fit together. The upper housing 4 and the lower housing 5 are detachably connected. This detachable connection facilitates the inspection and maintenance of internal cables, oil pipes, etc.

[0033] The upper housing 4 and the lower housing 5 are provided with multiple slots 6 evenly on both sides, and the other housing is provided with multiple locking platforms 7 evenly on both sides. The upper housing 4 and the lower housing 5 are engaged with each other through the slots 6 and the locking platforms 7. That is, the upper housing 4 and the lower housing 5 are engaged through the slots 6 and the locking platforms 7, so that the upper housing 4 and the lower housing 5 can be detachably connected.

[0034] The upper housing 4 and the lower housing 5 form a cavity for placing pipelines. The cleanroom cable chain body 1, composed of the upper housing 4 and the lower housing 5, can be lengthened and extended as needed.

[0035] The upper housing 4 is integrally provided with multiple upper semi-annular bosses, and the lower housing 5 is integrally provided with multiple lower semi-annular bosses. When the upper housing 4 and the lower housing 5 are engaged, the corresponding upper and lower semi-annular bosses form the annular bosses. That is, the upper and lower semi-annular bosses correspond to each other, and the annular bosses reduce the contact area between the cable chain and the equipment platform, thereby reducing friction.

[0036] The number of the aforementioned anti-collapse structures 2 is one or more sets, with each set of anti-collapse structures 2 corresponding one-to-one with the aforementioned annular protrusion. When the number of the aforementioned anti-collapse structures 2 is two or more sets, the anti-collapse structures 2 of adjacent sets are arranged at intervals along the arc direction of the aforementioned annular protrusion. When the number of the anti-collapse structures 2 is one set, the anti-collapse structure 2 is a cuboid integrally set along the top of the annular protrusion. When the cable chain deforms downward due to its own weight and the weight of the pipeline inside, the anti-collapse structure 2 at the top of the annular protrusion will prevent the cable chain from deforming downward. When the number of the anti-collapse structures 2 is two sets, the anti-collapse structures 2 are cuboids integrally set along both sides of the annular protrusion, with square protrusions on the top. When the cable chain deforms downward due to its own weight and the weight of the pipeline inside, the anti-collapse structures 2 on both sides of the annular protrusion will abut against each other, preventing the cable chain from deforming further downward.

[0037] The aforementioned anti-collapse structure 2 is a cuboid, with a length of 2mm-30mm, a width of 2mm-50mm, and a height of 1-10mm. This anti-collapse structure, with its specific dimensions, ensures effective anti-collapse protection while saving materials.

[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
