Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nylon cable chain technology, and in particular to a modular cable chain keel structure. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, the widespread application of automated equipment and mechanical systems has placed higher demands on cable chain systems. Cable chains, as a device used to protect flexible pipelines such as cables, air pipes, and oil pipes, are widely used in CNC machine tools, automated production lines, industrial robots, and other equipment. Their main function is to ensure that these pipelines can operate safely and stably during equipment movement, avoiding damage caused by friction, pulling, or external environmental factors.

[0003] Traditional cable chain keel structures typically employ a fixed-length design. This design presents several limitations in practical applications. First, fixed-length cable chains struggle to adapt to the diverse needs of different equipment. In particular, when adjustments to the equipment's operating range or pipeline length are required, the cable chain often necessitates redesign and remanufacturing. This not only increases costs but also prolongs equipment maintenance and adjustment time. Second, traditional cable chains are prone to deformation under load, affecting their service life and reliability. Furthermore, fixed-length cable chains present inconveniences during transportation and storage, occupying significant space and increasing transportation costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a modular cable chain keel structure.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a modular cable chain keel structure, including keel one and keel two, with reinforcing support rods fixedly connected inside both keel one and keel two. Embedded seats are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of keel one, and mounting shells are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of keel two. A transverse sliding groove and a vertical locking groove are provided inside the embedded seat. A pressure plate is slidably connected inside the mounting shell. A top rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressure plate. A locking block is rotatably connected to the surface of the top rod. A telescopic spring abuts against the surface of the pressure plate.

[0006] Through the above technical solution, the locking block, horizontal slide groove and vertical slot are used to achieve rapid assembly and disassembly of keel one and keel two, which greatly improves work efficiency. The setting of the support rod effectively improves the structural strength of the keel, prevents deformation under load, and extends service life. The modular keel can be packaged and transported separately, making full use of transportation space, reducing transportation costs, and is easy to assemble and disassemble quickly. The length of the keel can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, in the robotic arm drag chain system, the working range of the robotic arm can be easily adjusted.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the locking block is adapted to the horizontal slide and the vertical slot, and the locking block is engaged inside the vertical slot.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of reinforcing rods is set to several, and the several reinforcing rods are evenly distributed at equal intervals inside the first and second keels.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the equidistant and evenly distributed reinforcing rods can effectively distribute the load and avoid excessive local stress that could lead to deformation or damage.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, both sides of the first keel are provided with embedding grooves, and both sides of the outer surface of the second keel are fixedly connected with prepositioning rods.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the cooperation between the prepositioning rod and the embedded groove further enhances the stability of the connection between keel one and keel two, and reduces the loosening of the connection caused by external forces.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the embedding groove and the prepositioning rod are adapted to each other, and the embedding groove is inserted into the interior of the prepositioning rod.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the inner wall of the mounting shell is provided with a sliding groove, and the pressure plate is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention utilizes the elastic potential energy of a telescopic spring to achieve rapid locking by pressing the pressure plate, thereby improving the assembly efficiency between the two keel modules. This allows the keels to be packaged and transported separately, making full use of transportation space and reducing transportation costs. It also facilitates rapid on-site assembly by personnel. Furthermore, by appropriately increasing or decreasing the number of keel modules, the length of the keel can be easily adjusted to meet the needs of different application scenarios, avoiding the usage limitations caused by fixed length designs. For example, in a robotic arm cable chain system, the working range of the robotic arm can be adjusted simply by adding or removing the corresponding number of keel modules, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of use.

[0023] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please combine Figure 1-5 This embodiment of a modular cable chain keel structure includes a first keel 1 and a second keel 2. Both the first keel 1 and the second keel 2 are internally fixedly connected to reinforcing rods 3. Embedded seats 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the first keel 1. Mounting shells 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the second keel 2. The embedded seats 4 have internal transverse grooves 6 and vertical slots 7. A pressure plate 8 is slidably connected inside the mounting shell 5. A top rod 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressure plate 8. A locking block 10 is rotatably connected to the surface of the top rod 9. A telescopic spring 11 abuts against the surface of the pressure plate 8. The reinforcing rods 3 are fixedly connected to the interior of both the first keel 1 and the second keel 2, effectively improving structural strength and preventing deformation. During assembly, personnel press the pressure plate 8, causing the top rod 9 and the locking block 10 to move towards the embedded seat. The four-directional movement compresses the telescopic spring 11. When the locking block 10 reaches the position of the insert seat 4, its angle is rotated to make it coincide with the transverse slide groove 6. Continue pressing to make the locking block 10 pass through the transverse slide groove 6. The telescopic spring 11 continues to compress and store elastic potential energy. Then, the locking block 10 is rotated to make it coincide with the vertical slot 7. The pressure plate 8 is released, and the telescopic spring 11 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the pressure plate 8 and the push rod 9 to move in opposite directions, so that the locking block 10 is firmly inserted into the vertical slot 7, completing the quick assembly. When disassembling, the pressure plate 8 is pressed to compress the telescopic spring 11, so that the locking block 10 is disengaged from the vertical slot 7. The locking block 10 is rotated to make it coincide with the transverse slide groove 6. The pressure plate 8 is released, and the telescopic spring 11 is reset, so that the push rod 9 and the locking block 10 are disengaged from the transverse slide groove 6, completing the disassembly.

[0026] The locking block 10 is compatible with the horizontal slide 6 and the vertical slot 7. The locking block 10 is engaged inside the vertical slot 7. The locking block 10 is compatible with the horizontal slide 6 and the vertical slot 7 to ensure that it can be accurately engaged inside the vertical slot 7 during the assembly process, so as to achieve a stable connection.

[0027] Several reinforcing struts 3 are provided, and these struts 3 are evenly distributed at equal intervals inside the keel 1 and keel 2. The distribution method can evenly distribute the load and further improve the overall structural strength of the keel.

[0028] Both sides of the keel 1 are provided with embedding grooves 12, and both sides of the outer surface of the keel 2 are fixedly connected with prepositioning rods 13. When the top rod 9 and the locking block 10 are inserted into the embedding seat 4, the prepositioning rods 13 are simultaneously inserted into the embedding grooves 12, further enhancing the stability of the connection between the keel 1 and the keel 2.

[0029] The embedding groove 12 and the prepositioning rod 13 are adapted to each other, with the embedding groove 12 inserted into the interior of the prepositioning rod 13.

[0030] The inner wall of the mounting shell 5 is provided with a sliding groove 14, and the pressure plate 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 14.

[0031] The implementation principle of a modular cable chain keel structure in this embodiment is as follows: This nylon cable chain keel structure mainly consists of keel one 1 and keel two 2, both of which are internally fixedly connected with reinforcing support rods 3 to effectively improve structural strength and prevent deformation under load. Before assembly, the pressure plate 8 is in its natural state, the telescopic spring 11 is not compressed, and the locking block 10 is in its initial position. The operator first presses the pressure plate 8, which, after being compressed, drives the top rod 9 and the locking block 10 to move towards the embedding seat 4, simultaneously compressing the telescopic spring 11 to store elastic potential energy. When the locking block 10 moves to the position of the embedding seat 4, the operator rotates the angle of the locking block 10 to... The pressure plate 8 is pressed down to coincide with the horizontal slide groove 6. The pressure plate 8 drives the top rod 9 and the locking block 10 to pass through the horizontal slide groove 6. At this time, the telescopic spring 11 is continuously compressed, storing more elastic potential energy. After the locking block 10 passes through the horizontal slide groove 6, the operator rotates the angle of the locking block 10 again to make it coincide with the vertical slot 7. Then, the pressure on the pressure plate 8 is slowly released, and the elastic potential energy stored in the telescopic spring 11 is released, pushing the pressure plate 8 to move in the opposite direction to the embedding seat 4. As the pressure plate 8 and the top rod 9 move, the locking block 10 moves to the right and is firmly locked into the interior of the vertical slot 7, completing the rapid assembly between the keel 1 and the keel 2.

[0032] When it is necessary to separate keel 1 and keel 2, the operator presses the pressure plate 8 again, causing the pressure plate 8 to compress the telescopic spring 11, and drive the top rod 9 and locking block 10 to disengage from the interior of the vertical slot 7. Then, the operator rotates the angle of the locking block 10 so that it coincides with the transverse slide groove 6. At this time, the pressure on the pressure plate 8 is released, and under the reset action of the telescopic spring 11, the top rod 9 and locking block 10 disengage from the transverse slide groove 6 inside the embedded seat 4, completing the separation and disassembly of keel 1 and keel 2.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
