Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable tray installation technology, specifically to an intelligent cable tray assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] A cable is an electrical or signal transmission device, typically composed of several or groups of conductors. During on-site installation, cables need to be supported by cable trays. Cable trays come in various structures, including trough, tray, ladder, and mesh types, and consist of supports, brackets, and installation accessories. Cable trays within buildings can be installed independently or laid on various building structures and pipe rack supports. Before installation, cable trays require manual assembly by workers.

[0003] Patent publication number CN114268062B discloses an assembled cable tray, including a cable distribution panel, a tray, an assembly mechanism, and a supporting cable distribution mechanism. Both the tray and the cable distribution panel are open-top shell structures. The cable distribution panel has a T-shaped three-way structure, and the tray has a straight structure. The three ends of the cable distribution panel are connected to the tray via the assembly mechanism, and a supporting cable distribution mechanism is located in the center of the cable distribution panel. This invention uses a diversion frame to guide the cable distribution panel, avoiding the problem of multiple cables tangling and preventing smooth cable distribution during cable splitting. Furthermore, manual guidance and adjustment are not required during cable splitting, reducing labor intensity. The invention also includes a guide plate at the end of the diversion frame, effectively preventing damage to the cables and thus affecting their subsequent use and lifespan.

[0004] While existing technology CN114268062B offers many advantages during use, it still suffers from the following problems: it does not involve the assembly structure between cable trays, and the assembly of cable trays requires manual operation by workers, resulting in a high workload for workers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent cable tray assembly device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent cable tray assembly device, comprising a support frame, a feeding track, and a support plate. Through holes are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the support frame, and feeding tracks are installed on both outer walls of the support frame. The feeding tracks are connected to an external vibrating feeding disc, which enables the strip plate to be conveyed into the feeding track. A support plate is provided on one outer wall of the feeding track, allowing the strip plate inside the feeding track to enter the support plate.

[0007] When using the intelligent cable tray assembly device in this technical solution, the cable trays enter the support frame one by one through the storage hopper and are moved by the conveyor belt until the gap between two cable trays is between the through holes. The first electric push rod retracts, causing the strip plate inside the feeding track to move into the support plate. Then, the operator manually inserts rivets into the riveting machine. The riveting machine moves the rivets horizontally until the rivets are inserted into the fixing holes inside the strip plate. The riveting machine continues to move the rivets and strip plates overcoming the obstruction of the baffle until the strip plate contacts the cable tray inside the support frame, and one side of the rivet is inside the fixing hole of the cable tray. The rivets are then riveted by the riveting machine, thereby connecting the strip plate to the two cable trays respectively.

[0008] Preferably, a storage hopper is installed on one outer wall of the support frame. The storage hopper is installed in an inclined shape, and the cable tray inside the storage hopper can slide into the support frame.

[0009] Preferably, the support frame has equidistant parallel drive rollers rotatably mounted inside, the outer wall of the drive rollers is connected to the conveyor belt, and the drive rollers pass through the support frame and are connected to the motor body. The motor body can drive the drive rollers to rotate circumferentially, thereby driving the conveyor belt to rotate and moving the bridge on the conveyor belt.

[0010] Preferably, a first infrared sensor is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the support frame. The first infrared sensor can detect the position of the cable tray inside the support frame, and the external controller controls the operation of the equipment based on the detection data.

[0011] Preferably, a second infrared sensor is installed on one side of the inner wall of the feeding track. The second infrared sensor detects the position of the strip plate inside the feeding track, and the external controller controls the operation of the equipment based on the detection data.

[0012] Preferably, a first electric push rod is installed on one outer wall of the feeding track, and a movable groove is provided on one inner wall of the feeding track. The first electric push rod is located inside the movable groove. The first electric push rod can pass through the movable groove to squeeze and fix the strip plate inside the feeding track, ensuring that the strip plate moves in a controlled manner inside the feeding track.

[0013] Preferably, a second electric push rod is installed on both outer walls of the support plate. A connecting frame is installed on one side of the lower outer wall of the second electric push rod. The connecting frame is connected to the outer wall of the support frame. The second electric push rod can drive the support plate to move horizontally, thereby aligning the support plate with the feeding track.

[0014] Preferably, spring hinges are installed on both sides of the upper outer wall of the baffle, and the other end of the spring hinge is connected to the baffle. The baffle can restrict the position of the strip plate inside the support plate.

[0015] Preferably, a through groove is provided on one side of the outer wall of the support plate, and a riveting machine is installed on both sides of the outer wall of the support plate. The riveting machine can penetrate the through groove and contact the strip plate inside the support plate.

[0016] Preferably, the support frame is divided into two ends by through holes, so that the connection between the two cable trays is located between the through holes.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention achieves the effect of assembling cable trays by setting up a feeding track, a support plate, and a riveting machine. The cable trays enter the support frame one by one through the storage hopper and are moved by the conveyor belt until the gap between two cable trays is located between the through holes. The first electric push rod retracts, causing the strip plate inside the feeding track to move into the support plate. Then, the operator manually inserts rivets into the riveting machine. The riveting machine moves the rivets horizontally until the rivets are inserted into the fixing holes inside the strip plate. The riveting machine continues to move the rivets and strip plates overcoming the obstruction of the baffle until the strip plate contacts the cable tray inside the support frame, and one side of the rivet is located inside the fixing hole of the cable tray. The rivets are riveted by the riveting machine, thereby connecting the strip plate to the two cable trays respectively, achieving the purpose of assembling cable trays, reducing manual intervention by operators, and reducing the workload of operators.
