Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable chain technology, and more specifically, to a low-wear anti-arching support plate for cable chains. Background Technology
[0002] The cable chain support plate, also known as the cable chain guide groove, can accommodate the cable chain and is an auxiliary device for the cable chain during long-distance operation. It is mainly used to ensure that the cable chain can move continuously and smoothly along a predetermined trajectory.
[0003] Currently, cable chain support plates are typically made of wear-resistant materials such as sheet metal and plastic, with a U-shaped cross-section to ensure smooth operation of the cable chain. However, most existing U-shaped cable chain support plates are prone to arching at the opening on the support plate during cable chain movement, especially if the cable chain moves at high speed, is small in size, or gets stuck due to foreign objects. This makes it difficult to maintain the stability of the cable chain during movement. Moreover, since the cable chain usually has a certain weight, it will sag. The sag portion of the cable chain directly contacts the bottom wall of the support plate. The large contact area between the bottom wall of the support plate and the cable chain generates significant friction between them, leading to high wear and affecting service life. Therefore, this utility model proposes a low-wear anti-arching support plate for cable chains. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a low-wear anti-arching support plate for cable chains. This aims to solve the problem that most existing U-shaped cross-section cable chain support plates, when supporting the cable chain, are prone to arching at the opening on the support plate during movement, especially if the cable chain moves at high speed, is small in size, or gets stuck due to foreign objects. This makes it impossible to maintain the stability of the cable chain during movement. Furthermore, because cable chains typically have a certain weight, they sag, and the sag portion directly contacts the bottom wall of the support plate. The large contact area between the bottom wall of the support plate and the cable chain generates significant friction during movement, leading to high wear and consequently affecting the service life.
[0006] 2. Technical Solution
[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A low-wear cable chain anti-arching load plate includes a load-bearing guide plate, the load-bearing guide plate including two side plates and multiple connecting bases, the two side plates are symmetrically distributed, and the multiple connecting bases are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two side plates, and the multiple connecting bases are equidistantly arranged.
[0009] Multiple slots are provided on both side plates, and the multiple slots are symmetrically distributed at an angle. Multiple fixing boxes are fixedly connected to the ends of the two side plates that are far apart, and the multiple fixing boxes correspond to the multiple slots respectively.
[0010] Each of the aforementioned fixed boxes includes an outer shell, a telescopic shell, and a spring assembly. The outer shell is fixedly connected to one side of a side plate, the telescopic shell is rotatably connected inside the outer shell and matches a slot, and the spring assembly is disposed inside the outer shell and corresponds to the telescopic shell.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an anti-collision rubber plug is fixedly connected to the telescopic shell, and the anti-collision rubber plug corresponds to one side end of a side plate.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rotating groove block is fixedly connected inside the outer shell, and a rotating shaft assembly is fixedly connected to the symmetrical two ends of the outer shell, and the rotating shaft assembly is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove block.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the outer shell and the telescopic shell are fixedly connected with anti-detachment protrusions, and the two ends of the spring assembly are respectively sleeved on the two anti-detachment protrusions.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a set of screws is threaded onto the outer shell, and the set of screws passes through a side plate.
[0015] 3. Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] (1) In this solution, two side plates and multiple connecting bases form a U-shaped load-bearing guide plate to support the cable chain and control the guide of the cable chain operation. By installing fixed boxes at an angle on both sides of the symmetrical load-bearing guide plate, multiple fixed boxes on the lower side extend elastically into the load-bearing guide plate through multiple slots on the lower side to support the cable chain. This ensures that the bottom of the cable chain only contacts the elastic extension of the multiple fixed boxes on the lower side, which can effectively reduce the contact area between the bottom of the cable chain and the load-bearing plate, thereby reducing the wear caused by the friction of the cable chain moving within the load-bearing plate and extending its service life.
[0018] (2) In this solution, multiple fixing boxes located on the upper side extend elastically into the interior of the bearing guide plate through multiple slots on the upper side. The multiple fixing boxes on the upper side extend elastically into the interior of the bearing guide plate and are located on the upper side of the cable chain, which restricts the cable chain and effectively prevents the cable chain from arching due to its fast movement speed, small size, and foreign objects getting stuck. This restricts the cable chain to move smoothly within the bearing guide plate and maintains the stability of the cable chain during movement. In addition, the parts of the multiple fixing boxes that extend into the bearing guide plate can be elastically retracted by pressing, which facilitates the installation and removal of the cable chain within the bearing guide plate.
[0019] (3) In this solution, each fixing box is mainly composed of an outer shell, a telescopic shell and a spring assembly. The spring assembly elastically pushes the telescopic shell to rotate and pop out inside the outer shell. After the telescopic shell pops out, it passes through the slot to support or restrict the cable chain. After the telescopic shell pops out, the force-bearing position contacts one side wall of the slot. The force generated by the popping out is applied to the side plate inside the slot. At the same time, the anti-collision rubber plug will contact one side end of the side plate to reduce the impact force of the telescopic shell popping out on the side plate, effectively protecting the telescopic shell and the side plate, reducing the probability of damage to the fixing box, and making the fixing box maintain a longer service life.

[0031] Example:
[0032] Please see Figure 1-6 A low-wear cable chain anti-arching load plate includes a load-bearing guide plate 1. The load-bearing guide plate 1 includes two side plates 11 and multiple connecting bases 12. The two side plates 11 are symmetrically distributed, and the multiple connecting bases 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two side plates 11, and the multiple connecting bases 12 are equidistantly arranged.
[0033] Multiple slots 2 are provided on both side plates 11, and the multiple slots 2 are symmetrically distributed at an angle. Multiple fixing boxes 3 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two side plates 11 that are far apart, and the multiple fixing boxes 3 correspond to the multiple slots 2 respectively.
[0034] Each fixed box 3 includes an outer shell 31, a telescopic shell 32, and a spring assembly 33. The outer shell 31 is fixedly connected to one side of a side plate 11. The telescopic shell 32 is rotatably connected inside the outer shell 31 and matches a slot 2. The spring assembly 33 is disposed inside the outer shell 31 and corresponds to the telescopic shell 32.
[0035] In this embodiment, the bearing guide plate 1 is assembled from two side plates 11 and multiple connecting bases 12. The bearing guide plate 1 is U-shaped. The cable chain is placed inside the bearing guide plate 1 for use. Multiple fixing boxes 3 are also symmetrically arranged at an angle to the top and bottom, corresponding to multiple slots 2. The multiple fixing boxes 3 on the upper and lower sides are installed in opposite directions. The multiple fixing boxes 3 on the lower side pass through the multiple slots 2 on the lower side to support the cable chain, while the multiple fixing boxes 3 on the upper side pass through the multiple slots 2 on the upper side to restrict the cable chain and prevent the cable chain from arching from the opening above the bearing guide plate 1 when it moves. Among them, multiple outer shells 31 are respectively installed in the multiple slots 2 opened on the two side plates 11. The multiple outer shells 31 on the upper and lower sides are installed in opposite directions. Under the action of the elastic force of multiple spring groups 33, the multiple outer shells 31 Multiple telescopic shells 32 inside 1 pass through multiple slots 2 and enter the inner side of two side plates 11. The multiple slots 2 restrict the multiple telescopic shells 32, so that the multiple telescopic shells 32 remain stable after elastic rotation. The multiple telescopic shells 32 rotate in one direction. The upper and lower telescopic shells 32 rotate in opposite directions, but the force is applied to the two side plates 11 through the multiple slots 2. The force on the two side plates 11 can reduce the probability of damage to the multiple fixed boxes 3. The supporting plane of the multiple telescopic shells 32 on the lower side faces upward. The rotation through the multiple slots 2 supports the cable chain through the upward supporting plane. The restricting plane of the multiple telescopic shells 32 on the upper side faces downward. The rotation through the multiple slots 2 restricts the multiple telescopic shells 32, preventing the cable chain from arching in the bearing guide plate 1 and affecting the stability during movement.
[0036] Specifically, a shock-absorbing rubber plug 4 is fixedly connected to the telescopic shell 32, and the shock-absorbing rubber plug 4 corresponds to one side end of a side plate 11.
[0037] In this embodiment, the telescopic shell 32 is ejected from the outer shell 31 through the through slot 2 by the elastic force of the spring assembly 33 and enters the inner side of the side plate 11. When the telescopic shell 32 is ejected, the anti-collision rubber plug 4 will contact one side end of the side plate 11, reducing the impact force of the telescopic shell 32 on the side plate 11 and effectively protecting the telescopic shell 32 and the side plate 11.
[0038] Specifically, a rotating groove block 5 is fixedly connected inside the outer casing 31, and a rotating shaft assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the symmetrical two ends of the outer casing 31, and the rotating shaft assembly 6 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove block 5.
[0039] In this embodiment, the rotating groove block 5 is used to connect the rotating shaft assembly 6 on the telescopic shell 32. The telescopic shell 32 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 31 through the rotating shaft assembly 6 and the rotating groove block 5.
[0040] Specifically, both the outer shell 31 and the telescopic shell 32 are fixedly connected with anti-detachment protrusions 7, and the two ends of the spring assembly 33 are respectively sleeved on the two anti-detachment protrusions 7.
[0041] In this embodiment, the anti-detachment protrusions 7 inside the outer shell 31 and the telescopic shell 32 are used to support the two ends of the spring assembly 33, so that the spring assembly 33 remains stable when deformed.
[0042] Specifically, a set of screws 8 are threaded onto the outer casing 31, and the set of screws 8 passes through a side plate 11.
[0043] In this embodiment, a set of screws 8 are threaded through a side plate 11 and connected to the outer shell 31, fixing the outer shell 31 to one side of the side plate 11, thus completing the installation of the outer shell 31 on the side plate 11.
[0044] Working principle: Two side plates 11 and multiple connecting bases 12 are assembled into a U-shaped load-bearing guide plate 1. Multiple outer shells 31 are respectively installed on the symmetrical sides of the load-bearing guide plate 1, corresponding to multiple slots 2. Under the action of multiple spring groups 33, multiple telescopic shells 32 inside the multiple outer shells 31 pass through the multiple slots 2 and enter the load-bearing guide plate 1 at symmetrical upper and lower angles. Then, the cable chain is installed in the load-bearing guide plate 1 between the multiple telescopic shells 32. The multiple telescopic shells 32 on the lower side contact the bottom of the cable chain to support it, and the multiple telescopic shells 32 on the upper side contact the upper part of the cable chain. When the cable chain moves, the multiple telescopic shells 32 on the upper side restrict the cable chain, so that the cable chain can only move inside the two load-bearing guide plates 1, preventing the cable chain from arching at the opening at the upper end of the load-bearing guide plate 1. When the cable chain needs to be removed and replaced, the multiple telescopic shells 32 on the upper side are pressed back into the multiple outer shells 31 to remove the restriction on the cable chain, thereby enabling the cable chain to be removed and replaced.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
