Description

[0001] The invention relates to a cable support system.

[0002] Cable support systems are used to support cables and conduits within a space, typically a building. To support cables and conduits, a cable support system includes a cable tray into which the cables and conduits are guided or laid. A cable tray is typically formed from one or more cable tray segments arranged one behind the other in the guiding direction of the cable tray, i.e., its longitudinal extension or running direction. A cable tray can have a U-shaped or C-shaped cross-section, or it can be closed in combination with a cover. It can be designed, for example, as a cable tray, cable ladder, wire mesh cable tray, or cable duct, although the invention is not limited to these configurations.

[0003] A cable tray is supported against gravity; typically, it is mounted on a wall or ceiling. To support the cable tray, the cable support system has at least two, and typically multiple, spaced-apart support structures. These support structures can be designed, for example, as outriggers attached laterally to a wall or hanging posts, or as rungs / posts suspended from a ceiling. When installing such a cable support system, the support structures are typically mounted first, and then the cable tray is attached to them.

[0004] Additional fastening elements connecting the cable carrier to the support device are known for attaching the cable carrier to the support device, as disclosed, for example, in ES 1 071 943 U.

[0005] Furthermore, support devices are known that have receptacles for sections of cable carriers, into which the sections engage. To fix the cable carriers to the support device, locking tabs associated with the receptacles are subsequently bent open or over during assembly, so that the receptacles are closed in the opposite direction to the assembly direction. Such a design is shown, for example, in EP 2 378 620 B1 and EP 2 808 964 B1.

[0006] The problem with these previously known designs is the high assembly effort: If additional elements have to be mounted or locking tabs bent, this is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, as it cannot be ensured that all necessary locking tabs are actually bent accordingly when there are a large number of assembly steps.

[0007] Against this background, the object of the invention is to propose a cable support system and an associated support device that enables a simplified assembly method.

[0008] This problem is solved by a cable support system of the aforementioned type, comprising a cable carrier oriented in a guiding direction and at least two support devices for the cable carrier, wherein at least two undercut receptacles are provided on the support devices, and wherein the cable carrier has two clamping sections that each engage in a receptacle, wherein the undercuts of the receptacles project at least partially beyond the clamping sections in the opposite direction to the intended mounting direction for attaching the cable carrier to the support device, and a first receptacle has an undercut pointing in a first direction and a second receptacle has an undercut pointing in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

[0009] The problem related to the support device is solved by a support device for a cable system with the features of claim 17.

[0010] Advantageous designs result from the dependent requirements and the description.

[0011] According to the invention, the cable carrier has clamping sections that engage in receptacles on the support device. The receptacles on the support device are undercut in the opposite direction to the intended mounting direction. In a first receptacle, this undercut points in a first direction, while in a second receptacle spaced apart from the first, the undercut points in the opposite direction. The receptacles can be designed as mirror images about the mounting axis. When the clamping sections are inserted into the receptacle, the undercuts project beyond the clamping sections at least partially, so that the clamping sections are positively locked behind the undercuts in the receptacle in the opposite direction to the mounting direction. Typically, the undercuts project beyond the clamping sections only partially to simplify assembly. Typically, a few tenths of a millimeter to a millimeter is sufficient.The undercut is designed to be correspondingly deep. The undercuts and clamping sections are designed in such a way that the cable tray can be attached to the support structure, or the clamping sections can be inserted behind the respective undercuts. This can be achieved by utilizing, for example, the geometric shape and / or the material elasticity of the clamping sections, the connection of the clamping sections to the cable tray, the mounting surface, and / or the material surrounding the mounting surface of the support structure.

[0012] The contours of the recesses – even when spaced apart – in conjunction with the intended spacing of the clamping sections on the cable tray, together with the opposing, complementary undercuts, create a positive-locking recess for the clamping sections that fits against the mounting direction. When mounted, the clamping sections are held in their intended position by their firm connection to each other via the cable tray behind the undercuts.

[0013] This arrangement provides an easy-to-install system that securely fixes the cable tray to the support structure(s), eliminating the need to mount additional components or manually bend locking tabs. This significantly reduces overall installation time and, because the locking mechanism engages in the installation direction, ensures a more secure result. The installation direction is typically from above, especially when the support structure(s) support the cable tray from below; in this case, the cable tray rests on the support structure.

[0014] Preferably, the mountings restrict movement of the clamping sections in two degrees of freedom: firstly, against the mounting direction, and secondly, perpendicular to it. Typically, translational movement in the guiding direction of the cable tray is not blocked by the connection between the mounting and the clamping section. This provides a tolerance range that accommodates the segmented design of the cable tray and takes into account individual spatial conditions regarding the mounting of the support devices, or rather, the spacing of the support devices in the guiding direction. Conversely, the cable tray is secured against lateral displacement and thus also against falling laterally from the support devices.

[0015] However, it is also conceivable, either as an alternative or supplement, to provide a cable support system in which the "receiving clamping section" arrangement is rotated around the mounting direction compared to the one described above. This allows the undercut to also point in the direction of cable routing. The receiving back then limits translational movement in the cable carrier's direction of cable routing.

[0016] The part of the receptacle that provides the undercut typically points in the opposite direction to the direction in which the receptacle back – the connection between the receptacle base and the undercut – prevents movement of the inserted clamping section, although an angular orientation of this part in this respect, for example at a 45° angle to the receptacle back, is conceivable.

[0017] Preferably, at least one receptacle, typically both receptacles, is integrated into a sheet metal section of the support device(s). Typically, the receptacle extends through the sheet metal section, so that the clamping section is held transversely to the sheet metal section within the receptacle. The outer surface of the receptacle is provided by the narrow side of the sheet metal. Preferably, the planar extent of the sheet metal section is oriented substantially in the mounting direction, approximately transverse to the guide direction. A sheet metal section oriented accordingly exhibits a high section modulus due to its planar extent opposite the mounting direction, so that the support device, or rather the area of ​​the support device in which the receptacle is arranged, is rigid with respect to the intended mounting direction. This simplifies assembly.Typically, the entire support structure is manufactured from a single sheet of metal, for example, profiled as an L, U, or C profile. Such a support structure profile is particularly stable when used as a cantilever. The previously described mountings can be easily integrated into the legs of the profiles.

[0018] If the receptacle is integrated into a sheet metal section, it is preferably L-shaped: one section of the receptacle is undercut, while another section is not. During assembly, the clamping section is inserted into the receptacle through the non-undercut portion and subsequently comes to rest behind the undercut – and thus fixed in the opposite direction to the assembly direction. By providing the receptacle with a uniformly oriented sheet metal section, the overall stability of the fastening is increased.

[0019] To reduce the notch effect, the recess in which the clamping section rests after assembly can be designed with a circular arc. The undercut transitions smoothly into the remaining part of the recess.

[0020] Such a design is particularly advantageous if – which can also be the case – the clamping section has a circular cross-section, for example, made from a section of wire. This is ideally fixed by the undercut or the receptacle described above.

[0021] Furthermore, it can be provided that the clamping section is loosely fitted into the receptacle, so that during assembly of the clamping section in the respective receptacle, there is no positive or frictional contact between the receptacle and the clamping section. The clear opening of the receptacle is then larger than the corresponding diameter of the clamping section. This further simplifies assembly. In particular, the receptacle can thus be rigid in the direction in which the undercut fixes the respective clamping section, and thus the undercut itself can be rigid, which it is especially the case when it is inserted into a correspondingly oriented sheet metal part.

[0022] The assembly process can be further supported if the undercut of at least one receptacle points towards the assembly direction and has an insertion ramp in the direction of the intended movement of the clamping sections around the undercut, which supports a movement of the clamping sections of the cable carrier relative to each other.

[0023] To use a manufactured support device for attaching cable trays with different clamping sections, where the clamping sections typically differ in their cross-section, it is possible to combine mountings. A combined mounting of two mountings, a so-called universal mounting, is thus constructed in two parts, featuring two undercuts. While the first undercut and the associated mounting are dimensioned for a clamping section of a first embodiment (e.g., with a larger diameter), the further mounting, adjoining the first mounting, with its undercut, is designed to accommodate a clamping section of a second embodiment (e.g., with a smaller diameter) and is dimensioned accordingly.During assembly, the clamping section of the second type is first passed through the receptacle for the clamping section of the first type and then fixed in the further receptacle. In this way, two first receptacles and, similarly, two second receptacles can be combined into two universal receptacles. Naturally, further receptacles can be integrated into a single universal receptacle. By providing two or more receptacles in one universal receptacle, they can be manufactured together with consistent tolerances, without requiring additional process steps or tooling costs.

[0024] The arrangement of the first receptacle relative to the second receptacle—whether the first and second receptacles are designed as universal receptacles or not—is important for the mounting method and the design of both the clamping sections and the receptacles. A multitude of possible configurations are conceivable. For example, the two receptacles can be arranged side by side transversely to the conductor direction, with the back of the receptacle preventing translational movement in the transverse direction. The two receptacles can also be arranged in a plane transverse to the conductor direction. In this case, the clamping sections are also arranged side by side on the cable carrier, correspondingly with respect to the conductor direction. In a further development, the backs of the receptacles can jointly limit translational movement transversely to the conductor direction in both directions; the openings of the undercuts of the receptacles then face each other.

[0025] Alternatively, the two clamping devices can be arranged one behind the other, typically aligned in the direction of travel of the cable carrier. In this configuration, the clamping section can consist of a single, continuous element, such as a continuous wire.

[0026] Furthermore, it is possible for both mountings to be arranged on a support structure. It is also possible for each support structure to carry one of the two mountings, meaning that the first mounting is arranged on a first support structure and the second mounting on a second support structure. Depending on the installation situation and the design of the clamping sections or the mountings, different advantages arise from the various configurations.

[0027] To attach the cable carrier to the support structure, and thus to insert the clamping sections into the receptacles, the clamping section must be guided behind the undercut. In a preferred embodiment, the elasticity of the cable carrier is used for this purpose. The clamping section can be elastically movable relative to the rest of the cable carrier, at least with respect to the other clamping section, for example, it can be moved towards each other or spread apart. Relative movement of the two clamping sections relative to each other is thus possible. The possible, preferably fully elastic, movement is sufficient to allow the clamping sections to be guided around the undercut of the respective receptacle during assembly. Due to the elasticity between the clamping sections, they automatically return to their original position, such that they come to lie behind the undercuts of the receptacles.

[0028] To provide elasticity between the clamping sections, the cable tray, the clamping sections themselves, or the connection between the clamping sections and the cable tray can be elastically movable. If the clamping sections are made of wire, for example, the elastic movement can be a bending of the wire perpendicular to its longitudinal direction. A U-shaped connection of the clamping sections is also possible, in which case the elastic movement is a bending of the legs and the web. Elastic movement can be achieved through a variety of materials, such as plastics or metals like steel.

[0029] In another embodiment of the assembly process, the cable tray is pivoted so that it does not point in the direction of travel during assembly, but rather at an angle to it. Pivoting the cable tray allows the distance between the two clamping sections to be changed relative to the direction of the distance between the two receptacles. If the undercuts of the two receptacles point approximately towards each other, and if the two receptacles are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the direction of travel of the cable tray, and the clamping sections are also arranged in such a plane, pivoting the cable tray reduces the distance between the clamping sections relative to the direction of the distance between the two receptacles. Once the cable tray is pivoted and the distance between the clamping sections is thus reduced in the direction of the distance between the receptacles, the clamping sections can be positioned around the mutually facing undercuts.The cable carrier is then aligned in the guiding direction: the distance between the clamping sections in the direction of the spacing of the receptacles increases and the clamping sections are fixed behind the undercuts of the receptacles.

[0030] If the two mounting points are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel, particularly on two different support structures, and the mounting backs prevent translational movement perpendicular to the direction of travel, the cable carrier can also be attached to the support structures by pivoting: In this case, the first clamping section is inserted into the first mounting point. The cable carrier is then pivoted around the first mounting point until the second clamping section can be positioned behind the undercut of the second mounting point. The second clamping section is then inserted into the second mounting point, and the cable carrier is aligned in the direction of travel so that the second clamping section also lies behind the undercut, thus securing the cable carrier to both support structures.

[0031] It is also possible to combine the configurations described above by means of a large number of corresponding recordings.

[0032] With all these mounting options, the mounting points, especially in the undercut and mounting direction, can be designed to be rigid. This is particularly advantageous if the mounting points are integrated into a sheet metal sheet with a high section modulus in the undercut direction. During installation, the elasticity of the cable tray and / or the relatively large distance between two mounting points, and consequently a relatively small rotation angle of the cable tray, are utilized.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the cable tray is a wire mesh cable tray. A wire mesh cable tray is a cable tray made from a wire frame. Existing sections of the wire in the wire mesh cable tray can function as clamping sections, particularly those wire sections running in the direction of cable flow, thus providing a multitude of possible clamping sections along the wire mesh cable tray. Any necessary elasticity between the clamping sections for installation is provided by the mesh structure, especially in the wire direction of the mesh structure.

[0034] The support devices may have multiple primary and / or secondary mounting points to increase the strength of the connection between the support device and the cable tray. Recesses facing the cable tray may also be provided in the support devices, into which projections extending from the cable tray can engage, further minimizing the risk of lateral fall.

[0035] The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying figures in the context of an exemplary embodiment. The figures show: Fig. 1: A three-dimensional view of a cable support system, Fig. 2: a side view of a support device of the cable support system, on which, for illustrative purposes, a cable carrier cut directly in front of the support device is attached, Fig. 3 - 5: Detailed views of various side views of the support device and the cable carrier, Fig. 6: a three-dimensional top view of the cable support system and Fig. 7: A detailed view of a universal photograph.

[0036] Fig. Figure 1 shows a cable support system 1. The cable support system 1 comprises a cable tray 2, here designed as a wire mesh cable tray, and two support devices 3, 4 that support the cable tray 2 from below. In this configuration, the support devices 3, 4 are identical, open-topped C-profiles. The support devices 3, 4 are attached to a wall in a manner not shown in detail and thus act as cantilevers. The cable tray 2 is oriented with its longitudinal extension in a guide direction 5; cables, not shown in detail, placed on the cable tray 2 are guided in this direction.

[0037] Receptacles 6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 are incorporated into the legs of the support profiles of the support devices 3, 4. These receptacles are described in more detail below and secure the cable carrier 2 to the support devices 3, 4. Additionally, recesses 8 (in Fig. 1 (only marked as an example) provided in the support devices 3, 4, which provide space for the elements forming the cable carrier 2 in accordance with the cable carrier 2 designed as a grid cable tray.

[0038] The cable support 2, designed as a wire mesh cable tray, is formed by wire rods 9, 9.1, 9.2 aligned in the direction 5 and arranged in a U-shape at a predetermined distance from each other. U-shaped support elements 10 are arranged transversely to these wire rods 9, 9.1, 9.2 pointing in the direction 5. Fig. (1 only shown as an example) are arranged and connected at the respective intersections to the wire rods 9, 9.1, 9.2 pointing in the guide direction 5, for example by a joining process. The overall result is a grid-like structure with a U-shaped cross-section, into whose open space cables and conductors can be placed. The cables and conductors are supported from below by the support elements 10; the support elements 10 are braced against the support devices 3, 4 by the wire rods 9, 9.1, 9.2.

[0039] Fig. Figure 2 shows a side view of the support device 3 with the cable carrier 2 attached to the support device 3 in a sectional view (section AA). The section is schematically shown in Fig. 1 is marked.

[0040] A support device 3, or rather a leg 11 of the support device 3, a support element 10 of the cable carrier 2, and wire rods 9, 9.1, 9.2 aligned in the direction 5 are visible. A section of each wire rod 9.1, 9.2 pointing in the direction 5 is inserted into a receptacle 6, 7. Further wire rods 9 pointing in the direction 5 and forming the base of the cable carrier 2 are inserted into corresponding recesses 8 of the support device 3. In this embodiment, the wire rods 9, 9.1, 9.2 pointing in the direction 5, which contact the support device 3, are supported from below by the support device 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the receptacles 6, 7 are designed as mirror images of each other with respect to their contours, mirrored about the vertical axis. They include an undercut 12, 13. This undercut 12, 13 projects section by section beyond the wire rods 9.1, 9.2, which are aligned in the guide direction 5 and are designed here as clamping sections 14, 15 in the area of ​​the receptacles 6, 7.

[0042] The two clamping sections 14, 15 are also connected to each other at their end faces via the support elements 10 and are elastically movable relative to each other in the undercut direction; in this embodiment, therefore, towards each other. When mounting the cable carrier 2 on the support device 3, the cable carrier 2 is placed onto the support device 3 from above and pressed down in the mounting direction 16, so that the two clamping sections 14, 15 move towards each other and over the undercuts 12, 13. Due to the preload introduced by this movement into the cable carrier 2 – or rather into the support elements 10 – as well as into the wire sections pointing in the guide direction 5 between the clamping sections 14, 15 and the support elements 10, the clamping sections 14, 15 come to lie behind the undercut. Behind the undercuts 12, 13, the clamping sections 14, 15, and thus the cable carrier 2, are attached to the support device 3 opposite to the mounting direction 16.

[0043] Fig. Figures 3 to 5 show images 6 and 7 from different perspectives and in further detail. Images 6 and 7 are each shown in a detailed view, omitting the laterally intervening parts of the support device 3 and the cable carrier 2, respectively. The mounting direction 16 is always from above.

[0044] Fig. Figure 3 shows only one leg 11 of the support device 3 with a part of the cable carrier 2. The leg 11 is oriented such that its planar extent points essentially in the mounting direction 16.

[0045] The receptacles 6, 7 are incorporated into the leg 11. The undercuts 12, 13 of the receptacles 6, 7, which face each other in the leg 11, have insertion ramps pointing in the opposite direction to the mounting direction 16; these ramps are provided here by radii.

[0046] Both receptacles 6, 7, considered individually, are designed such that their clear width in the assembly direction 16, relative to the clamping sections 14, 15 provided by the wire rods 9.1, 9.2 pointing in the guide direction 5, is sufficient to allow for loose insertion. Since the clamping sections 14, 15 are circular wire segments, the clear width of the receptacles 6, 7 is larger than the diameter of the clamping sections 14, 15. However, the distance between the outwardly facing surfaces 17, 18 of the clamping sections 14, 15 is greater than the distance between the mutually facing ends 19, 20 of the undercuts 12, 13. To position the clamping sections 14, 15 behind the undercuts 12, 13, the two clamping sections 14, 15 are moved elastically relative to each other as described above.Once the outer surface 17, 18 of the respective clamping section 14, 15 has overcome the ends 19, 20 of the undercuts 12, 13, the clamping sections 14, 15, due to the preload in the cable carrier 2, tend to return to their initial position – now behind the undercuts 12, 13 – so that ideally there is no longer any preload in the connection between the two clamping sections 14, 15. This state is in . Fig. 4 shown.

[0047] Fig. Figure 5 shows the support device 3 in its entirety in a side view with the cable carrier 2 mounted on it. This is used in connection with Fig. 6 explained. Fig. Figure 6 is a three-dimensional oblique top view of the support device 3 with the attached cable carrier 2. Visible on the one hand is the in Fig. The figures show three singly depicted legs 11 and the opposite leg 21 of the U-profile providing the support device 3. The leg 21 at the rear in the figures has a further second recess 7.1 aligned with the first recess 6 in the first leg 11, the undercut 13.1 of which is opposite to the undercut 12 of the first recess 6. This further second recess 7.1 is designed like the second recess 7 in the leg 11 described first. The opposite leg 21 has – also aligned with the second recess 7 in the leg 11 – a further first recess 6.1, correspondingly having an undercut 12.1 that is also oriented opposite to the undercut 13 of the second recess 7. This recess 6.1 is constructed identically to the first recess 6 in the leg 11 described first.

[0048] The clamping sections 14.1, 15.1 in these further receptacles 6.1, 7.1 are further sections of the wire rods 9.1, 9.2. The wire sections of the wire rods 9.1, 9.2 pointing in the guide direction 5, which are arranged between the clamping sections 14, 14.1; 15, 15.1 held in the receptacles 6, 7.1; 7, 6.1, provide the necessary elasticity so that the clamping sections 14, 14.1; 15, 15.1 can be inserted behind the undercuts 12, 13.1; 13, 12.1 of the receptacles 6, 7.1; 7, 6.1. In this way, the cable carrier 2 is attached to the support device 3 more securely and with particular stability.

[0049] Based on Fig.Figure 7 below illustrates the concept of the universal mounting: The support device 3, a section of which is shown, comprises not only a mounting 6, but also a further mounting 6a, which in this embodiment is arranged above the mounting 6. The mounting 6a is designed for a larger clamping section (not shown in detail here) than that provided in the lower mounting 6. This larger mounting 6a also has an undercut 12a. However, the clear opening in the mounting direction (from above) is larger in the upper mounting 6a than in the lower, smaller mounting 6. Otherwise, the prescribed mechanisms apply equally to the larger mounting 6a.

[0050] The invention has been explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. Without departing from the scope of protection defined by the applicable claims, numerous further embodiments of the invention can be devised by a person skilled in the art, without these needing to be described in detail within the scope of these explanations.
