Description

Rope connector and rope

Technical Field

The present application relates to a cord connector and a cord.

Background

The rope, commonly known as rope, is reinforced by twisting or braiding and is connected into fiber with a certain length. The tensile strength is good but the compressive strength is not good, and the tool can be used as a connecting and traction tool. For example, the cable may act as a transmission element to transmit the movement of the first part to the second part, so that the second part is moved by the first part.

With the use of a rope to transmit motion, it is often necessary to maintain the rope in tension between the two components to which motion is to be transmitted. If the rope is a rigid rope, such as a steel wire rope, and the rigid rope is connected between two parts with a fixed distance, it is difficult to ensure that the rigid rope is in a tensioning state, and even the length of the prepared rope is insufficient, so that an assembler cannot connect the rigid rope between the two parts, and the use requirement cannot be met.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the application without any inventive step, are within the scope of protection of the application. It will be understood that some of the technical means of the various embodiments described herein may be replaced or combined with each other without conflict.

In the description of the present application and claims, the terms "first," "second," and the like, if any, are used solely to distinguish one from another as between described objects and not necessarily in any sequential or technical sense. Thus, an object defined as "first," "second," etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the object. Also, the use of the terms "a" or "an" and the like, do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the two, and "a plurality" denotes no less than two.

In the description of the present application and the claims, the terms "connected," "mounted," "fixed," "housed," and the like are used broadly unless otherwise indicated. For example, "connected" may be a separate connection or may be integrally connected; can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; may be non-detachably connected or may be detachably connected. For example, "accommodated" does not necessarily mean that the entire body is completely accommodated, and the concept also includes a partial accommodation case in which a part protrudes outward. The specific meaning of the foregoing terms in the present application can be understood by those skilled in the art as appropriate.

In the description of the present application and in the claims, if there is an orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "horizontal", etc. based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, it is only for the convenience of clearly and simply describing the present application, and it is not indicated or implied that the elements referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and these directional terms are relative concepts for the sake of description and clarification and may be changed accordingly according to the change of orientation in which the elements in the drawings are placed. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" other elements would then be oriented "above" the other elements.

In the description of the present application and in the claims, the presence of the terms "in sequence" and "sequentially", for example the phrase "A, B, C arranged in sequence", merely indicates the order of arrangement of the elements A, B, C and does not exclude the possibility of arranging other elements between a and B and/or between B and C.

In the description of the present specification and claims, the terms "laminated" and "lamination", if any, include not only a case where they are laminated (or laminated) in contact with each other but also a case where they are laminated (or laminated) with another layer interposed therebetween.

In the description of the specification and claims, the terms "based on" and "based on," if any, are used to describe one or more factors that affect the determination. The term does not exclude additional factors that influence the determination. That is, the determination may be based solely on these factors or at least partially on these factors. For example, the phrase "determine B based on a," in which case a is a factor that affects the determination of B, does not exclude that the determination of B may also be based on C.

In the description of the present specification and claims, if there is "direction" with respect to motion, including motion having a directional component, the term "in direction" is not necessarily to be construed as motion in only that one direction, and those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the aforementioned terms in the present application as the case may be.

Embodiments of the present application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In order to more clearly illustrate the structure and usage of the rope connector of the present application, a description is now given of a specific application example of the rope connector in a photovoltaic device, in this application scenario, the rope connector is used for connecting two rope segments of the related rope, so that the related rope has a length compensation function, and thus the use requirement is better adapted.

Referring to fig. 1 to 8, in the embodiment, the photovoltaic device includes a first bracket 1, a plurality of first rotating shafts 7, a plurality of photovoltaic panels 4, and a first driving device. Wherein:

the plurality of first rotating shafts 7 are arranged in parallel to each other in the first direction F1, and each of the first rotating shafts 7 is connected to the first bracket 1 in such a manner as to be rotatable about its own axis. The weight of the first rotating shaft 7 is supported by the first support 1.

The plurality of photovoltaic panels 4 are also arranged in the first direction F1, and the plurality of photovoltaic panels 4 are fixed to the plurality of first rotating shafts 7 in a one-to-one correspondence, respectively. When the first rotating shaft 7 rotates, the photovoltaic panel 4 fixed to the first rotating shaft 7 rotates therewith, thereby adjusting the incident angle of the photovoltaic panel 4. The weight of the photovoltaic panel 4 is also borne by the first support 1.

The first driving device is connected with the plurality of first rotating shafts 7 through a first transmission assembly so as to drive the first rotating shafts 7 to rotate around respective axes.

The first transmission assembly comprises a plurality of first pulleys 8 and a plurality of first ropes 6. The plurality of first pulleys 8 are coaxially fixed to the plurality of first shafts 7 in one-to-one correspondence, respectively. One first rope 6 is connected between every two adjacent first pulleys 8 and between the two first pulleys 8 at the extreme ends, and one end of every two adjacent first ropes 6 is wound around and fixed to a corresponding one of the first pulleys 8 in opposite directions. Thus, the plurality of first rotating wheels 8 and the plurality of first ropes 6 jointly form a rotating structure, when one of the first rotating wheels 8 rotates under the action of power, the first rotating wheel 8 can pull the second first rotating wheel 8 adjacent to the first rotating wheel to rotate through the first rope 6 fixedly connected with the first rotating wheel, then the second first rotating wheel 8 drives the third first rotating wheel 8 adjacent to the second rotating wheel to rotate, and thus each first rotating wheel 8 is driven to rotate, so that the angle of each photovoltaic panel 4 is adjusted.

Referring to fig. 9 to 11 in conjunction with fig. 5, 7 and 8, the above-mentioned "surrounding and fixing in opposite directions, respectively" has the meaning: for two adjacent first ropes 6, one end of one first rope 6 is wound around and fixed to the corresponding first pulley 8 in a clockwise direction, and one end of the other first rope 6 is wound around and fixed to the first pulley 8 in a counterclockwise direction.

It is understood that "surrounding" includes surrounding around the entire circumference, as well as surrounding around less than the entire circumference (e.g., half-circumference).

However, if the end of each first rope 6 is wound around the corresponding first pulley 8 for the whole circumference (more than 360 °), there will be the drawback that:

under the power of the first driving device, the first rope 6 may pull the first pulley 8 to turn over all the round or even several weeks (the first pulley 8 unwinds the first rope 6), and then the photovoltaic panel 4 is driven to rotate all the round. If it is ensured that the photovoltaic panel 4 can rotate around the entire circumference, the length of the photovoltaic panel 4 must be smaller than the length of the first rotating shaft 7, otherwise (i.e. the length of the photovoltaic panel 4 is larger than the first rotating shaft 7), the photovoltaic panel 4 must be damaged by the blocking impact of the first support 1. Reducing the length of the photovoltaic panel 4 not only reduces the power generation capacity of the photovoltaic device, but also increases the overall cost of the photovoltaic device.

For the above reasons, in order to limit the rotatable range of the photovoltaic panel 4 to an angle that does not block collision with the first bracket 1, which may have various possibilities depending on the first bracket and the photovoltaic panel, but in general, the rotatable angle of the photovoltaic panel 4 should be controlled within 360 degrees, the present embodiment is designed as follows: in any working state, the sum of the surrounding angles of one end of each two adjacent first ropes 6 on the corresponding one of the first rotating wheels 8 (namely the first rotating wheel connecting the two adjacent first ropes) is less than 360 degrees.

The "operating state" in the "arbitrary operating state" means a state of the photovoltaic device in normal use, and does not include a state in inspection, and further does not include a state in which the photovoltaic device is damaged.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10 in conjunction with fig. 11, in fig. 9 and 10, the angle of the first rope 6 around the first wheel 8 is 240 °, and the angle of the second first rope 6 around the first wheel 8 is 60 °. If the first rope 6 pulls the first pulley 8 to rotate counterclockwise in fig. 11, at a time point after the surrounding section of the first rope 6 on the first pulley 8 is completely paid out, the pulling direction of the first rope 6 to the first pulley 8 passes through the rotation axis of the first pulley 8, and no rotating moment is generated, no matter how much pulling force is applied to the first pulley 8 by the first rope 6 at this time, the first pulley 8 will not continue to rotate counterclockwise due to the pulling force, and the counterclockwise rotating angle of the first pulley 8 is (or is slightly larger than) 240 °. Similarly, if the second first rope 6 pulls the first pulley 8 to rotate clockwise in fig. 11, at a time point after the second first rope 6 is completely paid out on the first pulley 8, the pulling direction of the second first rope 6 to the first pulley 8 passes through the rotation axis of the first pulley 8, no rotating moment is generated, no matter how much pulling force is applied to the first pulley 8 by the second first rope 6, the first pulley 8 will not continue to rotate clockwise due to the pulling force, and the counterclockwise rotation angle of the first pulley 8 is (or is slightly greater than) 60 °. It can be seen that in this embodiment, if only the fitting relationship of the first rope to the first pulley is considered, the maximum possible rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel 4 is about 300 °.

It can be understood that the smaller the maximum rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel 4, the less disturbing the movement of the photovoltaic panel 4 by the first support 1, and the easier the position of the photovoltaic panel 4 on the first support 1 can be set. Coincidentally, the sun does not change more than 180 ° in the angle of illumination during the day, and therefore, in another embodiment, the sum of the angles of the one ends of each adjacent two first ropes 6 on the corresponding one of the first pulleys 8 is not more than 180 ° in any operating state.

Referring to fig. 9 to 11 again, in order to prevent the two adjacent first ropes 6 from interfering with each other during winding and unwinding, a first annular groove 801 and a second annular groove 802 are formed on the outer circumferential surface of each first pulley 8 and are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the first pulley 8, and one end of each of the two adjacent first ropes 6 is respectively wound in the first annular groove 801 and the second annular groove 802 of the corresponding first pulley 8.

Further, an end face of each first runner 8 in the axial direction thereof (for convenience of description, this end face is referred to as a first end face) is formed with a first catching groove 803 and a second catching groove 804 extending inward in the axial direction of this first runner 8, and the first catching groove 803 and the second catching groove 804 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the first runner 8. The groove depth of the first clamping groove 803 extends from the outer peripheral surface of the first runner 8 to the radial inner side of the first ring groove 801, so that the first clamping groove 803 is communicated with the first ring groove 801. The groove depth of the second engaging groove 804 extends from the outer peripheral surface of the first runner 8 to the radial inner sides of the first and second annular grooves 801 and 802, so that the second engaging groove 804 is communicated with the first and second annular grooves 801 and 802, respectively. Two ends of each first rope 6 are connected with a clamping head 6a (similar to a brake pull wire), for any two adjacent first ropes 6, the clamping head 6a at one end of one first rope 6 is embedded into the first clamping groove 803 from the first end surface and is positioned at the radial inner side of the first annular groove 801, and the clamping head 6a at one end of the other first rope 6 is embedded into the second clamping groove 804 from the first end surface and is positioned at the radial inner side of the second annular groove 802, so that the fixed connection between the two adjacent first ropes 6 and the first rotating wheel 8 is realized.

There are unavoidable dimensional errors in the length of each first cord 6, which may result in each first cord 6 being difficult to connect in full tension between two first pulleys 8, thereby affecting the consistency of the rotational cadence of each photovoltaic panel 4 when in use. To this end, the present embodiment provides each of the first ropes 6 in a structure in which: referring to fig. 4 and 5, the first rope 6 includes a first rope portion 601, a second rope portion 602, and a rope connector 603 connecting the first rope portion 601 and the second rope portion 602, and the elastic telescopically deformable rope connector 603 is used to compensate for a length error of the first rope 6, so as to ensure that each first rope 6 is connected between two corresponding first pulleys 8 in a tensioned manner.

Specifically, referring to fig. 12 and 13, the rope connector in the present embodiment includes a first element, a second element, a third element, and a fourth element arranged in this order in the first direction F1. Wherein:

the first element 6031 has a first end and a second end arranged opposite in a first direction F1, wherein the first end is provided with a first pivot pin 6031a for connecting the first rope segment 601 and the second end is provided with a first threaded hole 6031b extending in the first direction F1. In use, one end of the first rope segment 601 can be looped around the first connecting pin 6031a via the first rope buckle 606. Specifically, as shown in fig. 13, one end of the first rope segment 601 is first wound around the first rotating pin 6031a and folded in half, and then the folded end of the first rope segment 601 is fastened by the first rope buckle 606. The other end of the first rope portion 601 is fixed to one of the first turning wheels 8. In another embodiment, one end of the first rope segment 601 may be directly tied and fixed on the first connecting pin 6031 a.

The second member 6032 is used to connect the first member 6031 and the third member 6033. Specifically, the second member 6032 has a third end and a fourth end oppositely disposed in the first direction F1, wherein the third end is provided with a first threaded segment 6032a extending in the first direction F1 and the fourth end is provided with a second threaded segment 6032b extending in the first direction F1.

The third element 6033 is used to connect the second element 6032 and the fourth element 6034. Specifically, the third element 6033 has a fifth end and a sixth end oppositely disposed in the first direction F1, wherein the fifth end is configured with the second threaded hole 6033a extending in the first direction F1 and the sixth end is configured with the third threaded hole 6033b extending in the first direction F1.

The fourth element 6034 has a seventh end and an eighth end arranged opposite in the aforementioned first direction F1, wherein the seventh end is provided with a second turning pin 6034a for connecting the second rope portion 602 and the eighth end is provided with a third threaded section 6034b extending in the first direction F1. In use, one end of the second rope segment 602 can be looped over the second connecting pin 6034a via the second buckle 607. Specifically, as shown in fig. 13, one end of the second rope portion 607 is first wound around the second connecting pin 6034a and folded in half, and then the folded-in end of the second rope portion 607 is fastened by the second rope fastener 607. The other end of the second rope portion 607 is fixed to one of the first turning wheels 8. In another embodiment, one end of the second rope segment 607 can be directly tied and fixed on the second connecting pin 6034 a.

The thread directions of the first threaded hole 6031b and the second threaded hole 6033a are opposite, the thread directions of the first threaded section 6032a and the second threaded section 6032b are opposite, the first threaded section 6032a is screwed with the first threaded hole 6031b, and the second threaded section 6032b is screwed with the second threaded hole 6033 a. The advantages of such an arrangement are: it is only necessary to rotate the second member 6032 in one direction to connect it to both the first member 6031 and the third member 6033 or to disconnect it from both the first member 6031 and the third member 6033.

The fourth element 6034 is sleeved with a nut 6035, a pressure spring 6036 and an external sleeve 6037 in sequence along a first direction F1. The nut 6035 is screwed with the third threaded section 6034b, the outer sleeve 6037 is screwed with the third threaded section 6033b, and the pressure spring 6036 is clamped between the nut 6035 and the outer sleeve 6037. In use, the worker can rotate the second element 6032 forward/backward to adjust the distance between the first element 1 and the third element 6033, and further adjust the tension of the first rope 6 and the distance between the two ends of the first rope 6, so that the tension of each first rope 6 is equal, and the angle of each photovoltaic panel 4 is consistent.

In order to avoid that the rope connector is deformed by a large bending torque applied to the first rope segment 601 and the second rope segment 602 by a large static friction force or a large dynamic friction force applied to the first connecting pin and the second connecting pin, respectively, in use, in the present embodiment, the first connecting pin 6031a is connected to the first end of the first element 6031 in a manner of being capable of rotating around its axis, the second connecting pin 6034a is connected to the eighth end of the fourth element 6034 in a manner of being capable of rotating around its axis, and the axis of the first connecting pin is perpendicular to the first direction F1 and the axis of the second connecting pin is perpendicular to the first direction F1.

Referring to fig. 12 and 13 again, in the present embodiment, the first element 6031 includes a first body with a unitary structure, a first threaded hole is integrally formed on the first body, and a first connecting pin 6031a is rotatably connected to the first body.

Further, a first U-shaped groove is integrally formed at one end of the first body, and the first connecting pin 6031a is connected between two side walls of the first U-shaped groove, so that a through hole for the first rope segment 601 to penetrate is formed between the first connecting pin 6031a and the first U-shaped groove.

Similar to the structure of the first element 6031, the fourth element 6304 comprises a second body of unitary construction with the third threaded section integrally formed thereon to which the second connecting pin 6034a is rotatably connected.

Further, a second U-shaped groove is integrally formed at one end of the second body, and the second connecting pin 6034a is connected between two side walls of the second U-shaped groove, so that a through hole for the second rope segment 602 to pass through is formed between the second connecting pin 6034a and the second U-shaped groove.

In this embodiment, the first transmission assembly further includes a second rotating shaft 10 and a second rotating wheel 9. The second rotating shaft 10 is connected to the first bracket 1 in such a manner as to be rotatable about its own axis, and the second rotating shaft 10 is disposed in parallel with the first rotating shaft 7. The second rotor 9 is coaxially fixed to the second shaft 10.

Referring to fig. 7, for the first rope 6 connected between the two first pulleys 8 at the extreme end, the first rope 6 includes a third rope portion 604 and a fourth rope portion 605, and one end of the third rope portion 604 and one end of the fourth rope portion 605 are respectively wound around and fixed to the second pulley 9 in opposite directions. The first driving device is a motor for driving the second rotating shaft 10 to rotate, and is specifically the first motor 5 shown in fig. 2 and 3.

When the second rotating shaft 10 is driven by the first motor 5 to rotate, the second rotating wheel 9 is driven by the first rope 6 to rotate with each first rotating wheel 8, so that the angle of each photovoltaic panel 4 is adjusted.

In the present embodiment, the first motor 5 is specifically connected to and drives the second rotating shaft 10: referring again to fig. 7, the first transmission assembly further comprises a gear 18 coaxially fixed to the second shaft 10, and the first motor 5 is fixed to the first frame 1 and connected to a power gear 18 engaged with the gear 18 and shielded in fig. 2 and 3. When the electric spindle works, the first motor 5 applies rotary power to the power gear 18, the power gear 18 drives the gear 18 engaged with the power gear to rotate, and the gear 18 drives the second rotary shaft 10 fixed with the gear to rotate.

The rotation of the first rotating shaft 7 can only realize the angle adjustment of the photovoltaic panel 4 in one direction, and cannot realize the simultaneous tracking of the longitude and the latitude of the sunlight by the photovoltaic panel 4. In view of this, the photovoltaic device is further provided with a second support 2 and a second driving device, so that each photovoltaic panel 4 can rotate around two rotation axes perpendicular to each other, thereby realizing real-time vertical tracking of sunlight by the photovoltaic panels 4.

Specifically, the first carriage 1 is connected to the upper side of the second carriage 2 so as to be rotatable about the first rotation axis C1, and the weight of the first carriage 1 is supported by the second carriage 2. The second driving means are used to drive the first carriage 1 in rotation around the aforesaid first rotation axis C1, wherein the first rotation axis C1 is perpendicular to the axis of the first rotation shaft 7.

In the present embodiment, the aforementioned first rotation axis C1 is extended in the east-west direction, and thus, by controlling the first bracket 1 to rotate about this first rotation axis C1, the latitude tracking of the photovoltaic panel 4 with respect to sunlight can be realized, and by controlling the photovoltaic panel 4 to rotate about the first rotation axis C1, the longitude tracking of the photovoltaic panel 4 with respect to sunlight can be realized. The first direction F1 is parallel to the first rotation axis C1. Therefore, the photovoltaic device is convenient to build on site and use later, and the structural compactness of the photovoltaic device is improved.
