AI Technical Summary
In floating production facilities and civilian ship projects, improper cable fixing can lead to cable damage after passing through the ceiling. Lack of protection allows moisture and dust to enter the equipment, affecting its normal operation and service life, posing safety hazards, and increasing the cost of later maintenance and replacement.
Cable fixing devices, including fixing supports and cable trays, are used to fix and seal the cables with protective bushings and fire-retardant sealant, ensuring effective connection and protection between the cables and the equipment.
This solved the problem of improper cable fixing, reduced the risk of moisture and dust entering the equipment, extended the equipment's service life, reduced on-site workload and material consumption, and improved work efficiency and ensured the smooth progress of the project.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of marine technology, and in particular to a cable fixing device and installation method for a device. Background Technology
[0002] In floating production facilities, offshore engineering products, and civilian vessel projects, some equipment in the superstructure living area is installed below the ceiling. The installation method involves drilling holes in the ceiling and then directly fixing equipment such as lights and public address systems to the ceiling using self-tapping screws. Cables are then dangled from top brackets, pass through the ceiling, and directly enter the equipment for final wiring. Because this method lacks necessary cable securing and protection after the cables pass through the ceiling, shipowners and surveyors often request rectification during project inspections. Furthermore, subsequent equipment maintenance is difficult. If the cables are not sealed after passing through the ceiling, moisture and dust can enter the equipment through the drilled holes over time, affecting normal operation and lifespan. Additionally, the rough edges created by drilling can damage the cable sheath, posing a safety hazard and potentially causing accidents. Moreover, subsequent repairs or replacements of the equipment and cables require reinstallation on the ship, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, wasteful of materials, increases costs, and is inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0003] During shipbuilding, the cable fixing device and installation method of this invention can solve problems such as cable fixing, cable damage after passing through the ceiling, and the inability to seal cables after they pass through the ceiling, which allows moisture and dust to enter the equipment through drilled holes in the ceiling over a long period of time, ultimately affecting the normal operation and service life of the equipment. This can avoid safety hazards to personnel and even potential accidents. At the same time, it reduces the need for later repair or replacement of equipment and cables, reduces on-site workload, saves materials, ensures the smooth progress of the project, improves work efficiency, and safeguards the company's interests.
