Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable protector technology, specifically a flexible combination cable protector. Background Technology

[0002] A cable jumper is a protective device installed at the clamp connection point where a cable crosses a pipe or fitting. It is used to protect the cable from mechanical damage and environmental factors, ensuring the normal operation of the cable.

[0003] Most existing cable protectors are one-piece structures, lacking flexibility and unable to adapt to cable lines of different shapes and layouts. When cables need to bend or change direction, one-piece protectors cannot fit the cable well, thus reducing the protective effect. Furthermore, for long cable lines, one-piece protectors are inconvenient to install and transport.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a flexible combination cable protector to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

A rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the first limiting member, and the top end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second limiting member. A positioning mechanism is provided at the bottom end of the rotating shaft.

[0009] The first protective shell and the second protective shell are both fixedly installed with lower fixing hoops at opposite ends.

A positioning post is slidably inserted into the rotating plate through a sliding hole. An operating block is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the positioning post. Symmetrically distributed springs are fixedly installed between the top of the operating block and the bottom of the rotating plate. A plurality of positioning grooves are opened at the bottom of the first limiting member, and the positioning grooves are engaged with the positioning post.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the spring is provided with an electroplated zinc layer.

[0014] Preferably, the flexible connector is made of EPDM rubber.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0028] A flexible combination cable protector, comprising:

[0029] A flexible connector 8 is fixedly connected between the opposite ends of the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 2. A fixing block 9 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the outer surface of the opposite ends of the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 2. A second limiting member 11 is fixedly installed on one side of one fixing block 9, and a first limiting member 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the other fixing block 9. A rotating shaft 14 is rotatably installed on the first limiting member 10, and the top end of the rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second limiting member 11. A positioning mechanism is provided at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 14.

[0030] The first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 2 are both fixedly installed with lower fixing hoops 3 at opposite ends. The top of the lower fixing hoop 3 is hinged with an upper fixing hoop 4. The connecting ends of the upper fixing hoop 4 and the lower fixing hoop 3 are both fixedly installed with symmetrically distributed connecting blocks 5. The connecting blocks 5 are provided with fixing holes.

[0031] A symmetrically distributed assembly block 6 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the outer surface of one end of the lower fixing hoop 3, and a connection hole is provided on the assembly block 6.

[0032] In one embodiment, both the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 2 are provided with equidistant and uniformly distributed reinforcing ribs 7, which can enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the protective shell, making it more resistant to impact and deformation, and extending its service life.

[0033] In one preferred embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a rotating plate 12, which is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 14. A positioning post 17 is slidably inserted into the rotating plate 12 through a sliding hole. An operating block 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the positioning post 17. A symmetrically distributed spring 15 is fixedly installed between the top of the operating block 16 and the bottom of the rotating plate 12. A plurality of positioning grooves 13 are provided at the bottom of the first limiting member 10, and the positioning grooves 13 are engaged with the positioning post 17, which facilitates the adjustment of the cable bending angle and keeps it firmly in place, thereby improving the flexibility and stability of use.

[0034] In one embodiment, an electroplated zinc layer is provided on the outer wall of the spring 15, which can improve the corrosion resistance of the spring 15, prevent rust, extend the service life of the spring 15, and reduce the risk of damage due to corrosion during use.

[0035] In one preferred embodiment, the flexible connector 8 is made of EPDM rubber, which is resistant to ozone, weather, aging and chemical media, and has good resistance to water, weak acids and weak alkalis; it also has good flexibility and elasticity.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: All parts not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. In use, the cable to be protected is placed directly into the grooves of the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 2, at which point the cable passes through the two lower fixing clamps 3. If adjustment is needed according to the required bending angle of the cable, first pull down the operating block 16. The displacement of the operating block 16 causes the positioning post 17 to slide on the rotating plate 12, and simultaneously, the movement of the operating block 16 stretches the two springs 15. As the positioning post 17 moves, it disengages from the corresponding positioning groove 13, at which point the locking action of the positioning mechanism between the first limiting member 10 and the second limiting member 11 is released. Subsequently, the bending degree of the cable placed within is changed by rotating the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 2. During rotation, the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 2 will rotate relative to each other with the help of the fixing block 9. After determining the bending angle of the cable, the limiting position of the operating block 16 is released. Using the elastic restoring force of the spring 15, the operating block 16 is driven to move upwards. The operating block 16 then moves the positioning pin 17 into the corresponding positioning groove 13, thereby locking the positions of the first limiting member 10 and the second limiting member 11, maintaining them at a specified angle. This, in turn, keeps the first protective shell 1 and the second protective shell 2 at the same specified angle. Afterwards, the upper fixing clamp 4 is closed on top of the lower fixing clamp 3 and secured with bolts and nuts. Thus, during the use of the protector, it can be flexibly bent and adjusted according to the actual route of the cable, closely conforming to cable lines of different shapes and layouts, effectively improving the protection performance of the cable.

[0037] When using this protector to protect cables, the protectors can be connected and fixed together using the assembly block 6, achieving the purpose of combined use. The specific operation method is as follows: the connecting ends of the lower fixing clamps 3 of the two protectors are spliced ​​together. During this process, the assembly block 6 is closed. Then, the two assembly blocks 6 are tightened with bolts and nuts, thereby completing the reliable fixation of the two protectors and providing convenience for the combined use of the protectors.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
