Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a steel cable fixing component, and more particularly to a device that facilitates the safe installation of steel cables. Background Technology

[0002] Cable clamps, also known as wire rope clamps, are a very common and important device for connecting and securing wire ropes. They typically consist of a U-bolt, a clamp, and a nut. When in use, tightening the nut pulls the U-bolt and clamp closer together, generating a huge clamping force that firmly secures the two wire ropes (or rope loops) together.

[0003] However, in common cable clamps, if used in a vibrating environment, the threaded connection of the U-bolt and nut is prone to loosening. In order to ensure the cable clamp's fixing effect on the cable, the staff needs to frequently check and tighten the nut, thus compromising the reliability of the cable clamp. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a device for facilitating the safe installation of steel cables, including a U-bolt, a clamp, and a nut. The clamp has an installation cavity, and a locking component is provided in the installation cavity. The inner sidewall of the U-bolt has a plurality of first slots evenly and symmetrically provided, and the locking component is used in conjunction with the first slots.

[0006] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the locking assembly includes a rotating shaft, which is vertically installed in the mounting cavity. The top of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and the bottom of the rotating shaft protrudes from the mounting cavity and is located at the bottom of the clamp. An adjusting block is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft, and a connecting groove with an internal hexagonal shape is provided at the bottom of the adjusting block. An adjusting wheel is installed on the rotating shaft, with protrusions at both ends and recesses at both ends. Two insert rods are provided, which are horizontally and slidably installed on the left and right walls of the mounting cavity. The insert rods are aligned with the adjusting wheel. The end of the insert rod away from the adjusting wheel can protrude from the mounting cavity and engage with the first slot. An abutment plate is provided at the end of the insert rod near the adjusting wheel, and the abutment plate abuts against the side wall of the adjusting wheel. A spring is sleeved on each insert rod, with one end of the spring connected to the side wall of the abutment plate and the other end of the spring connected to the cavity wall of the mounting cavity.

[0007] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is that an auxiliary clamping block is fixedly provided on the side walls of the front and rear sides of the clamping seat.

[0008] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: the top of the nut is rotatably provided with an abutment ring that abuts against the bottom of the clamp, and the abutment ring is coaxial with the nut.

[0009] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is that a ball bearing is rotatably provided on the side wall of the abutment plate that abuts against the adjusting wheel.

[0010] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the bottom of the clamp is provided with a limiting component to restrict the rotation of the adjusting block, the limiting component includes a limiting post, the limiting post is hexagonal and is installed in the connecting groove; a mounting plate is installed at the bottom of the limiting post, the top of the mounting plate is provided with two insert plates, and the bottom of the clamp is provided with a slot for inserting the insert plates; a clamping component is used to clamp the insert plates, and the side wall of the insert plates is provided with a second slot that abuts against the clamping component.

[0016] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0018] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of a device that facilitates the safe installation of steel cables, as detailed below: like Figures 1-7 As shown, a device for facilitating the safe installation of steel cables includes a U-bolt 1, a clamp 2 fitted onto the U-bolt 1 for clamping the steel cable, and a nut 3 screwed onto the U-bolt 1 for pressing the clamp 2. An installation cavity 6 is provided in the clamp 2, and a locking assembly is installed in the installation cavity 6. Simultaneously, multiple first slots 5 are evenly and symmetrically provided on the inner sidewall of the U-bolt 1. The locking assembly cooperates with the first slots 5, thereby restricting the movement of the clamp 2 on the U-bolt 1 during use. This prevents the steel cable from loosening due to the loosening of the nut 3 when fixing the cable in a vibrating environment, thus improving its reliability.

[0019] Furthermore, in order to improve the clamping effect of the clamp 2 on the steel cable, an auxiliary clamping block 4 is fixedly installed on the side walls on the front and rear sides of the clamp 2 respectively.

[0020] Furthermore, in order to improve the clamping effect of the nut 3 on the clamp 2, an abutment ring 31 is rotatably provided on the top of the nut 3 to abut against the bottom of the clamp 2, and the abutment ring 31 is coaxial with the nut 3.

[0021] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a vertically mounted rotating shaft in the mounting cavity 6, with the top of the rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 6, and the bottom of the rotating shaft passing through the mounting cavity 6 and located at the bottom of the clamp 2. An adjusting block 16 is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft, and a connecting groove 17 with an internal hexagonal shape is provided at the bottom of the adjusting block 16. An adjusting wheel 9 with protrusions at both ends and recesses at both ends is fixedly provided on the mounting shaft. Finally, a plug rod 8 is horizontally and slidably provided on the cavity walls on the left and right sides of the mounting cavity 6, and the plug rod 8 is aligned with the adjusting wheel 9. The end of the plug rod 8 away from the adjusting wheel 9 can pass through the mounting cavity 6 and engage with the first slot 5. The end of the plug rod 8 near the adjusting wheel 9 is provided with an abutment plate 11 that abuts against the side wall of the adjusting wheel 9. A spring 10 is sleeved on each plug rod 8, with one end connected to the side wall of the abutment plate 11 and the other end connected to the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 6. When the locking assembly is in use, the operator can control the rotating shaft to rotate in the mounting cavity 6 by inserting an Allen wrench into the connecting slot 17 and then turning the Allen wrench. When the rotating shaft rotates, the adjusting wheel 9 installed on the rotating shaft also rotates. As the adjusting wheel 9 rotates, when the protruding end of the adjusting wheel 9 abuts against the abutting plate 11 on the insertion rod 8, the protruding end of the adjusting wheel 9 can push the insertion rod 8 out of the mounting cavity 6 and engage with the first slot 5 on the U-bolt 1. Since the protruding ends are symmetrically arranged on the adjusting wheel 9, the two protruding ends on the adjusting wheel 9 can simultaneously push the two insertion rods 8 out of the mounting cavity 6 and engage with the first slot 5. The spring 10 located on the insertion rod 8 is compressed. In this way, as the insertion rod 8 is pushed out of the mounting cavity 6, the clamp 2 can be fixed on the U-bolt 1. Thus, even if the nut 3 becomes loose, the clamping effect of the clamp 2 on the steel cable can be guaranteed. When it is necessary to remove the clamp 2 from the U-bolt 1, the operator controls the shaft to rotate again using an Allen wrench. At the same time, the adjusting wheel 9 installed on the shaft also starts to rotate again, so that the recessed end on the adjusting wheel 9 abuts against the abutment plate 11 on the insertion rod 8. In this way, the spring 10 fitted on the insertion rod 8 begins to reset. As the spring 10 resets, it can pull the insertion rod 8 back into the mounting cavity 6. Since the recessed ends are symmetrically arranged on the adjusting wheel 9, both insertion rods 8 can retract into the mounting cavity 6 at the same time. In order to prevent the insertion rods 8 from detaching from the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 6, the recessed size of the recessed end on the adjusting wheel 9 is smaller than the length of the insertion rod 8.

[0022] Furthermore, in order to improve the smoothness of the adjustment wheel 9 during rotation, a ball bearing 12 is provided on the side wall of the abutment plate 11 that abuts against the adjustment wheel 9.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to improve the aesthetics of the device for facilitating the safe installation of steel cables, a receiving groove 15 for accommodating the adjusting block 16 is provided at the bottom of the clamp 2, and the adjusting block 16 is located in the receiving groove 15.

[0024] Furthermore, to improve the reliability of the locking assembly, a limiting assembly 7 is provided at the bottom of the clamp 2 to restrict the rotation of the adjusting block 16. The limiting assembly 7 includes a hexagonal limiting post 71, which is installed in the connecting groove 17. A mounting plate 73 is provided at the bottom of the limiting post 71, and two insert plates 72 are provided at the top of the mounting plate 73. At the same time, a slot 13 is provided at the bottom of the clamp 2 to insert the insert plates 72. Thus, when the limiting post 71 is inserted into the connecting groove 17, the adjustment rotation can be restricted. To improve the firmness of the insert plates 72 in the slot 13, a clamping assembly 14 (such as a spring clamping assembly 14 composed of a clamping spring and a steel ball) is provided in the slot 13 to press the insert plates 72. In order to improve the clamping effect of the clamping assembly 14 on the insert plates 72, a second slot 721 is provided on the side wall of the insert plates 72 to abut against the steel ball in the clamping assembly 14.
