[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a machine tool cable carrier with a cable management structure, including a machine tool cable carrier body 1, a connector 11 fixedly connected to the side wall of the machine tool cable carrier body 1, and a cable management mechanism 2 for classifying and organizing various cables inside the machine tool cable carrier body 1. The cable management mechanism 2 includes: a support frame 21, a knob 22, a threaded rod 23, a threaded connecting ring 24, a spiral spring 25, a slide 26, a movable frame 27, and a first clamping groove 28.

[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, the outer surface of the support frame 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the machine tool cable carrier body 1. A mounting hole is provided through the side wall of the machine tool cable carrier body 1. A threaded rod 23 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole. A knob 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 23. A threaded connecting ring 24 is drivenly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 23. One end of a spiral spring 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded connecting ring 24. The other end of the spiral spring 25 is fixedly connected to a slide 26. A sliding groove is provided on the upper surface of the support frame 21. A movable frame 27 is fixedly connected to the upper template of the slide 26. A first clamping groove 28 is provided on the side wall of the movable frame 27. Multiple sets of threaded connecting rings 24 are arranged in a linear array on the outer surface of the threaded rod 23. The first clamping groove 28 is arc-shaped. A limiting groove is provided through the side wall of the slide 26. A limiting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove. Both ends are fixedly connected to the inner ends of the support frame 21. The support frame 21 is located at the center inside the machine tool cable carrier body 1, and the outer wall of the threaded rod 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting bearing. The outer wall of the connecting bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 21. By turning the knob 22, the threaded rod 23 is rotated, causing multiple sets of linearly arrayed threaded connecting rings 24 to move along the threaded rod 23, thereby pulling the spiral spring 25. The spiral spring 25 can provide the slide 26 with a certain adaptive adjustment effect, so that the movable frame 27 can cooperate with the first clamping groove 28 to adaptively clamp various cables. The other end of the spiral spring 25 drives the slide 26. The slide 26 slides along the limiting rod fixed inside the support frame 21 through the limiting groove on its side wall. At the same time, the upper template of the slide 26 pushes the movable frame 27 to move in the slide groove of the support frame 21, thereby adjusting the position of the arc-shaped first clamping groove 28 on the side wall of the movable frame 27 to achieve the positioning and arrangement of the wire harness.

[0026] In addition, the upper surface of the support frame 21 is provided with a fixing mechanism 3 that works in conjunction with the wire harness fixing mechanism 2 to secure the wire harness. The fixing mechanism 3 includes a fixing frame 31, the bottom surface of which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame 21. One end of a telescopic rod 32 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing frame 31 near the movable frame 27. A clamping plate 34 is fixedly connected to the other end of the telescopic rod 32. A telescopic spring 33 is sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic rod 32. A second clamping groove is provided at one end of the clamping plate 34 near the movable frame 27. Both the first clamping groove 28 and the second clamping groove are arc-shaped, and the first clamping groove 28... Multiple sets of semi-circular strip-shaped limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second clamping groove. The fixing mechanism 3 is fixed to the support frame 21 by the fixing frame 31. When the wire harness needs to be fixed, the first clamping groove 28 on the movable frame 27 and the second clamping groove on the clamping plate 34 are arranged opposite to each other. Under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 33, the telescopic spring 33 sleeved on the telescopic rod 32 pushes the clamping plate 34 to move towards the movable frame 27, so that the arc-shaped first clamping groove 28 and the arc-shaped second clamping groove work together to clamp the wire harness. At the same time, the multiple sets of semi-circular strip-shaped limiting blocks on the inner wall increase the friction force, ensuring that the wire harness is firmly fixed and not easy to slip.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the number of fixed frames 31 and movable frames 27 are matched, the size of clamping plate 34 is larger than the size of movable frame 27, and the ends of clamping plate 34 and movable frame 27 are both set as arc-shaped. Ventilation slots 12 are provided on the outer surface of machine tool cable chain body 1. One end of machine tool cable chain body 1 is set as arc-shaped, and the other end is set as a connecting slot. The connecting slot matches the outer surface size of connector 11. The number of fixed frames 31 and movable frames 27 are matched to ensure that the cables to be placed have corresponding first clamping slots 28 and second clamping slots to match them. The larger clamping plate 34 cooperates with the movable frame 27 with arc-shaped ends, which expands the clamping contact surface and makes the cable harness introduction smoother. At the same time, the ventilation slots 12 on the outer surface of machine tool cable chain body 1 help dissipate heat. The arc design at one end facilitates bending movement, and the connecting slot at the other end matches the outer surface size of connector 11 to achieve stable installation and connection of the entire cable chain on the machine tool.

[0028] In this utility model, during use, turning the knob 22 drives the threaded rod 23 to rotate, causing the threaded connecting ring 24 to move along the threaded rod 23, thereby pulling the spiral spring 25 and causing the slide 26 to slide in the groove of the support frame 21, thereby driving the movable frame 27 and its first clamping groove 28 to move laterally; at the same time, the clamping plate 34 in the fixing mechanism 3, under the elastic action of the telescopic rod 32 and the telescopic spring 33, cooperates with the movable frame 27, so that the first clamping groove 28 and the second clamping groove on the clamping plate 34 together form an adjustable clamping space, thereby classifying, organizing and fixing wire harnesses of different sizes, and realizing the orderly arrangement of the internal circuits of the machine tool drag chain body 1.

[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
