Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, and in particular to a method for introducing a high-voltage cable into a generator. Background Technology

[0002] The laying of high-voltage cables for generators is a critical step in marine electrical installation, requiring strict adherence to safety, reliability, and explosion-proof requirements. Due to the relatively large diameter of generator high-voltage cables (typically between 55mm and 65mm), bending them during installation is difficult. Mechanical traction (traction force ≤ cable allowable tension, typically ≤ 5KN) combined with manual assistance is usually used to avoid sharp 90-degree bends. If this is unavoidable, the minimum bending radius must be ≥ 12 times the high-voltage cable diameter. Therefore, the high-voltage cables at the generator's high-voltage cable interface are difficult to bend and lack secure binding, increasing on-site construction difficulty and workload, and resulting in an unsightly high-voltage cable entry point. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for laying high-voltage cables for generators to solve the problems of difficulty in laying high-voltage cables for generators and inconvenience in construction.

[0004] A method for introducing a high-voltage cable into a generator specifically includes the following steps:

[0005] S1, a grid platform and cable supports are erected on the engine room deck of the generator room, and cable brackets are fixed on the cable supports along the cable supports.

[0006] The grid platform is located on one side of the generator. A notch is provided on the grid platform at the position opposite to the generator high-voltage cable interface. The cable bracket is located at the notch and its bottom is fixed to the engine room deck, and its upper end is fixed to the edge of the platform at the notch.

[0007] The upper frame of the cable bracket is inclined upwards at an angle equal to the outlet angle of the generator high-voltage cable interface, and the shape of the cable bracket is the same as that of the cable bracket.

[0008] A cable tray is formed inside the cable bracket;

[0009] S2, the high-voltage cable extending from the generator high-voltage cable interface is laid in the cable tray of the cable bracket and secured with cable ties;

[0010] S3, Install a cable tray cover on the cable tray to seal the cable within the cable tray groove.

[0011] Preferably, the cable support includes two vertically arranged first pillars and multiple guide plates fixed between the two first pillars along the length of the first pillars. Each first pillar has a support foot fixed to its bottom by bolts. Each first pillar has a second pillar that is inclined upwards towards the generator at its upper end. The inclination angle of the second pillar is equal to the outlet angle of the generator high-voltage cable interface. Each guide plate has multiple first bracket fixing holes for fixing the cable bracket.

[0012] Preferably, the second support is connected to the first support via a connecting bend.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the second pillar is provided with a sealing plate.

[0014] Preferably, the cable tray has a U-shaped cross-section, with the U-shaped groove serving as a cable tray groove. The bottom plate of the cable tray groove is provided with multiple second tray fixing holes aligned with the first tray fixing holes and multiple binding holes for passing through the binding straps so that the binding straps can be tied to the guide plate.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom plate of the cable tray is provided with multiple rows of second bracket fixing holes and binding holes along its length direction. The second bracket fixing holes and binding holes are staggered vertically, or the second bracket fixing holes and binding holes are arranged on a horizontal line.

[0016] Preferably, the grid platform includes a grid plate and multiple grid columns vertically fixed to the bottom of the grid plate.

[0017] Preferably, the grid platform and cable support are both made of carbon steel, and the cable tray is made of stainless steel.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0019] This invention constructs a grid platform and cable support on the engine deck of the generator room. The upper frame of the cable support 2 is set at an angle equal to the outlet angle of the generator high-voltage cable interface. A cable bracket with the same bending shape is fixed on the cable support. By laying the cable in the cable bracket, the 90-degree sharp bend of the generator high-voltage cable can be effectively avoided during the laying process. This effectively reduces the on-site construction difficulty and workload, shortens the construction cycle, and ensures a perfect and smooth connection of the cable at the outlet of the generator high-voltage cable.
