Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model generally relates to the field of bathroom equipment technology, and more specifically, to a wire rope assembly with adjustable stroke structure and drainage control mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The existing wire rope driven drain valve has a certain design flaw: after the drain valve is assembled, the tension of the wire rope is difficult to adjust, as shown in the attached... Figure 1 As shown, dynamic optimization based on actual working conditions is not possible, affecting the normal function of the drain valve.

[0003] In actual installation, the tension of the wire rope is usually directly reflected in its exposed length. After the drain valve is assembled, if the exposed length of the wire rope is too long, it means the tension is too low. In this case, the wire rope tension is insufficient to drive the valve disc, making it difficult for the drain valve to open properly. Conversely, if the exposed length of the wire rope is too short, it indicates that the tension is too high. The valve disc will not be able to fully reset due to excessive tension, resulting in the drain valve not closing tightly and causing leakage. Therefore, there is currently a lack of a structure that allows for further adjustment of the exposed length of the wire rope, i.e., the wire rope tension, after installation to ensure accurate opening and closing of the drain valve.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

This present invention is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0006] One of the main objectives of this utility model is to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art and to provide a wire rope assembly with an adjustable stroke structure and a drainage control mechanism.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, a wire rope assembly with adjustable stroke structure is provided, comprising:

[0009] The control mechanism includes a control box and a drive unit;

[0010] The actuator, which includes the main body and moving parts;

[0011] A wire rope assembly includes a rope body and a sleeve. The two ends of the sleeve are connected to the control box and the main body, respectively. The rope body is inserted into the sleeve. The two ends of the rope body are connected to the drive component and the movable component, respectively. The sleeve is provided with a telescopic adjustment mechanism for adjusting the length of the sleeve. Alternatively, a telescopic adjustment mechanism is provided between the sleeve and the control box or the main body.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the telescopic adjustment mechanism includes a mounting part provided on the control box or the main body, a telescopic fixing post provided on the mounting part, a connector provided at the end of the sleeve, and the connector and the fixing post being axially limited and connected.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting part is equipped with an adjusting nut, the adjusting nut is circumferentially rotatable and axially limited to the mounting part, the fixing column is provided with a threaded section, and the fixing column and the adjusting nut cooperate to form a screw transmission mechanism through the threaded section.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting part is provided with a limiting groove, and the adjusting nut is provided with a protruding edge that is embedded in the limiting groove. The protruding edge can rotate along the limiting groove, and the protruding edge is axially limited and engaged with the limiting groove.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, one of the adjusting nut and the mounting part is provided with a plurality of limiting teeth along the circumferential direction, and one of the adjusting nut and the mounting part is provided with a gear groove. When the adjusting nut is rotated to a preset angle, one of the limiting teeth is engaged in the gear groove.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control box is assembled from an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate; or, the main body includes an upper cover body, the upper cover body is provided with a mounting groove, and further includes a fixing cover, the fixing cover and the mounting groove cooperating to form the mounting part.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fixing column is assembled from a first sub-column and a second sub-column, and the first sub-column and the second sub-column are detachably and fixedly connected.

[0021] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] This utility model features an adjustable wire rope assembly structure, enabling flexible adjustment of the exposed length of the wire rope after the drain valve is assembled, i.e., the tension of the wire rope. Adjustment is unnecessary without disassembling the drain valve and reassembling the wire rope assembly, greatly improving operational efficiency. Its simple structure breaks with convention; by compressing the sleeve length of the wire rope assembly, the tension of the wire rope is adjusted, thereby improving the adaptability of the drain valve under different working conditions. For example, in scenarios with varying drainage pipe slopes and drainage pressures, operators can easily adjust the wire rope tension to ensure the accuracy and sensitivity of the drain valve's opening and closing, avoiding water accumulation problems caused by poor drainage and equipment malfunctions caused by abnormal opening and closing. This not only reduces maintenance costs but also extends the overall service life of the drainage system, providing a stable and efficient solution for various drainage-related operations.

[0044] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention.

In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0045] like Figures 2 to 12 As shown, this embodiment provides a wire rope assembly with adjustable stroke structure, including: a control mechanism 100, which includes a control box 110 and a drive member 120; an execution mechanism 200, which includes a body 210 and a movable member 220; and a wire rope assembly 300, which includes a rope body 310 and a sleeve 320, with both ends of the sleeve 320 connected to the control box 110 and the body 210 respectively, the rope body 310 passing through the sleeve 320, and both ends of the rope body 310 connected to the drive member 120 and the movable member 220 respectively. The sleeve 320 is provided with a telescopic adjustment mechanism 400 for adjusting the length of the sleeve 320, or, as... Figures 2-8 As shown, a telescopic adjustment mechanism 400 is provided between the sleeve 320 and the control box 110. Alternatively, as... Figures 9-12As shown, a telescopic adjustment mechanism 400 is provided between the sleeve 320 and the body 210. It is understandable that the control mechanism 100 pulls the wire rope assembly 300 through the drive component 120 to drive the movable component 220 of the actuator 200. After the wire rope assembly 300 is installed and connected to the control mechanism 100 and the actuator 200, its two ends of the rope 310 are fixed to the control box 110 and the main body 210 respectively. The rope 310 is covered with a sleeve 320 of matching length. The length of the sleeve 320 is adjusted by the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400. For example, when one end of the sleeve 320 is squeezed and moved towards the other end of the sleeve 320, the space in the sleeve 320 will become smaller. At this time, since the two ends of the rope 310 are fixed and cannot move and cannot shorten its own length, the rope 310 must generate tension to resist the squeezing effect of the sleeve 320 in order to fill the remaining space in the sleeve 320, which will cause the rope 310 to become tighter, thereby indirectly shortening the stroke of the rope 310. The external manifestation is an increase in the exposed length of the rope 310. Conversely, stretching or loosening the sleeve 320 reduces the exposed length of the rope 310, making the rope 310 more slack. This allows for adjustment of the tension of the rope 310 in the wire rope assembly 300 connected between the control mechanism 100 and the actuator 200, improving the operational performance of the device after installation. In this embodiment, the drive component 120 is located inside the control box 110, and an operating handle connected to the drive component 120 is located outside the control box 110. The drive component 120 is a pry bar structure; the operating handle moves the drive component 120, which pulls the rope 310 of the wire rope assembly 300, causing the movable component 220 at the other end to move.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 12As shown, the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400 includes a mounting portion 410 provided on the control box 110 or the main body 210. A telescopic fixing post 420 is provided on the mounting portion 410, and a connector 321 is provided at the end of the sleeve 320. The connector 321 is axially limited and connected to the fixing post 420. It can be understood that the mounting portion 410 and the control box 110 or the main body 210 can be separate structures or integrally formed. The telescopic fixing post 420, for example, can be threaded onto the mounting portion 410. Rotating the fixing post 420 causes it to extend or retract. In this embodiment, the extension or retraction of the fixing post 420 compresses the sleeve 320 connected to it, thereby shortening the length of the sleeve 320 and tightening the rope 310. When the connector 321 is rotatably connected to the fixing post 420, the fixing post 420 is less likely to cause the rope 310 to rotate during its extension or retraction, effectively reducing the extension resistance of the fixing post 420 and the wear of the rope 310 and other structures. In this embodiment, the connector 321 is provided with an outer corrugated pipe section 322, and the fixing post 420 is provided with an inner corrugated pipe section 424 for mating with it. The connector 321 is fitted into the inner corrugated pipe section 424 to achieve a rotatable connection with the fixing post 420. In other embodiments, the connector 321 may also be a ball joint, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 13 As shown, the mounting part 410 is equipped with an adjusting nut 430. The adjusting nut 430 is circumferentially rotatable and axially limited in its fit with the mounting part 410. The fixing column 420 is provided with a threaded section 421. The fixing column 420 and the adjusting nut 430 cooperate through the threaded section 421 to form a screw transmission mechanism. It can be understood that the adjusting nut 430 is mounted on the mounting part 410 with circumferential clearance and axial limitation, and can only rotate. When the adjusting nut 430 is rotated, it drives the fixing column 420 to rotate, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the fixing column 420. In this embodiment, the screw transmission mechanism consists of the mounting part 410, the adjusting nut 430, and the fixing column 420, and is used to convert the rotational motion of the adjusting nut 430 into the linear motion of the extension and retraction of the fixing column 420.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the mounting part 410 is provided with a limiting groove 411, and the adjusting nut 430 is provided with a protruding edge 431 that is embedded in the limiting groove 411. The protruding edge 431 can rotate along the limiting groove 411, and the protruding edge 431 is axially limited and engaged with the limiting groove 411.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7-8As shown, one of the adjusting nut 430 and the mounting part 410 is provided with a plurality of limiting teeth 432 along the circumference, and one of the adjusting nut 430 and the mounting part 410 is provided with a stop groove 412. When the adjusting nut 430 is rotated to a preset angle, one of the limiting teeth 432 engages with the stop groove 412. It can be understood that the cooperation between the limiting teeth 432 and the stop groove 412 allows the adjusting nut 430 to maintain its position after rotation and is not easily reversed.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-8 As shown, the control box 110 is assembled from an upper cover plate 111 and a lower cover plate 112. In this embodiment, the mounting part 410 is assembled from the upper cover plate 111 and the lower cover plate 112. During installation, the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400, such as the adjusting nut 430 and the fixing post 420, is first installed on the mounting part 410 of the upper cover plate 111, and then the lower cover plate 112 is assembled to fasten and fix the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9-13 As shown, the main body 210 includes an upper cover 211 and a fixing cover 212. The upper cover 211 is provided with a mounting groove 213, and the fixing cover 212 cooperates with the mounting groove 213 to form a mounting part 410. The upper cover 211 and the fixing cover 212 of the main body 210 are assembled and spliced. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 13 As shown, the upper cover 211 is provided with an exposed connecting seat 214. During assembly, the fixed cover 212 is spliced ​​to the connecting seat 214.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 or Figure 13 As shown, the fixing post 420 is assembled from a first sub-post 422 and a second sub-post 423, which are detachably and fixedly connected. It is understood that the splicing structure of the fixing post 420 facilitates production and installation. During assembly, the rope body 310 connector 321 is fastened and connected via the first sub-post 422 and the second sub-post 423.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-8 As shown, the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400 is disposed in the control box 110 of the control mechanism 100. In this embodiment, the exposed length and tension of the section of the rope 310 to the drive member 120 of the control mechanism 100 can be controlled by the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400, thereby realizing the adjustment of the stroke of the rope 310 at the operating end.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9-12As shown, the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400 is disposed on the body 210 of the actuator 200. In this embodiment, the exposed length and tension of the section of rope 310 to the movable part 220 of the actuator 200 can be controlled by the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400, thereby realizing the adjustment of the stroke of the rope 310 at the actuator end.

[0055] In some embodiments, the sleeve 320 includes a first sleeve 320 and a second sleeve 320, and the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400 is disposed between the first sleeve 320 and the second sleeve 320.

[0056] like Figures 2 to 13 As shown, this embodiment provides a drainage control mechanism, including: an adjustable wire rope assembly structure as described in any of the previous embodiments, wherein the actuator 200 is a drain valve. In this embodiment, the body 210 of the actuator 200 is the drain valve body, and the movable part 220 of the actuator 200 is the drain valve disc. By operating the drive part 120 of the control mechanism 100 to pull the rope 310, the rope 310 pulls the valve disc to open. Under the adjustment of the telescopic adjustment mechanism 400, the wire rope assembly 300 can be kept at an appropriate tension. At this time, the tension of the rope 310 is just enough to drive the valve disc, so that the drain valve opens normally. At the same time, the valve disc will not fail to fully reset due to excessive tension, and the drain valve closes tightly and is not prone to leakage.
