Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building decoration and electromechanical installation technology, specifically to an integrated cable tray system and method that combines building cladding with pipeline laying. Background Technology

[0002] In interior water and electricity installation and interior decoration, the laying of water and electricity pipes on the ceiling and walls seriously damages the overall aesthetics of the space. The current mainstream practice is to use exposed water and electricity cable trays or to hide them in the ceiling. Exposed water and electricity cable trays have poor aesthetics; while hiding them in the ceiling sacrifices ceiling height, requires additional hanging rods and joists for the ceiling, increases costs, and poses the risk of not being able to properly set up the hanging rods and joists due to the dense pipes.

[0003] Current technology integrates two separate, sequential processes—"pipeline installation and management" (functionality) and "final decoration" (aesthetics)—into a single unit, avoiding the conflict between these two processes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a product that can structurally integrate the two. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated cable tray system and method that combines building cladding with pipeline installation. This transforms the water and electricity cable tray from a decorative object into part of the decorative base layer. Through a unique structural design, the support system (crossarm) of the cable tray is built-in and hidden, and the lower panel of the cable tray box is used as the decorative base layer. This achieves an integrated cable tray system that combines water and electricity management and decoration, thus overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated cable tray system combining building cladding and pipeline installation includes a load-bearing hoisting module, a pipeline housing module, and a decorative surface layer module. The load-bearing hoisting module provides core support for the entire cable tray system and includes threaded rods and square steel crossarms. One end of the threaded rod is fixed to the top of the floor slab with expansion bolts, and the other end is fixed to the square steel crossarm with fastening nuts. The pipeline housing module is a metal trough used to neatly accommodate various pipelines. Its interior has grooves, and square steel crossarms with arrayed mounting holes on multiple sides are spaced at corresponding intervals according to the weight of the pipelines in the cable tray, based on calculation results. The decorative surface layer module includes flexible water-resistant putty and a plastic protective film. The flexible water-resistant putty is coated on the surface of the metal trough, and a peelable plastic protective film is applied to the surface of the flexible water-resistant putty.

[0007] Furthermore, the height of the load-bearing hoisting module is adjusted by the depth to which the threaded rod is screwed into the expansion bolt.

[0008] Furthermore, the square steel crossbeam has an array of mounting holes on all four sides, which facilitates the flexible installation of partitions.

[0009] Furthermore, the through-wire rod, square steel crossbeam, and metal channel box are fixed together as a whole by fastening nuts.

[0010] Furthermore, the metal slot box itself serves as a decorative base layer, and its outer surface is coated with a frosted anti-corrosion primer in the factory, with flexible water-resistant putty applied on the anti-corrosion primer.

[0011] This invention provides another technical solution: a construction method for an integrated cable tray system that combines building cladding and pipeline laying, comprising the following steps:

[0012] S1: According to the design drawings, position the rod on the top slab of the building. After positioning, fix the threaded rod with expansion bolts.

[0013] S2: Based on the crossarm spacing calculated from the cable tray load-bearing data, the square steel crossarm with arrayed mounting holes on all four sides is fixedly installed in the side groove of the metal trough according to the corresponding spacing calculated.

[0014] S3: Secure the metal channel box with the square steel crossbeam installed to the threaded rod with fastening nuts. Use the threaded rod and fastening nuts to adjust the height and level, with the error range controlled within ±2mm.

[0015] S4: Install partitions according to the number, location and specifications of pipelines planned in the cable tray. The partitions are fixed to the built-in square steel crossarms with screws.

[0016] S5: After the partition is fixed, the pipeline is laid. After the pipeline is laid, the plastic protective film on the surface is removed, and the final decorative coating is formed by uniform spraying.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes the pretreatment of the metal cable trays. The specific method is as follows: according to the detailed design, the metal cable trays are manufactured by the factory. After the bottom plate of the metal cable tray is painted with anti-rust paint and completely dried, it is sanded. After sanding, the surface dust and oil are cleaned until the paint surface is completely dry and clean. After the paint surface is cleaned, a 2mm-3mm flexible water-resistant putty is applied. After drying, the surface is covered with a plastic protective film, thus forming a finished decorative integrated cable tray cable tray.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. The integrated cable tray system and method of the present invention, which integrates building decoration and pipeline laying, saves labor and materials: In the cable tray construction method, the practice of setting up the ceiling decoration after the cable tray is constructed requires two sets of support systems for the cable tray and the ceiling. The present invention saves some labor and materials by setting up only one hoisting support system through the integrated approach of function and decoration.

[0020] 2. The integrated cable tray system and method of the present invention, which combines building cladding and pipeline laying, has good aesthetic performance: In the case of no suspended ceiling, the present invention achieves an aesthetic effect by using built-in crossbeams, and the bottom of the cable tray does not have the protrusion of traditional crossbeams.

[0021] 3. The integrated cable tray system and method of the present invention, which integrates building cladding and pipeline laying, allows for flexible setting of internal partitions in the cable tray: The present invention achieves flexible installation of internal partitions through square steel crossarms with built-in multi-faceted array mounting holes, ensuring that as much space as is required for pipelines, the maximum space can be used to divide the space, resulting in high utilization of the internal space of the cable tray.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4This invention provides an integrated cable tray system that combines building cladding and pipeline installation, including a load-bearing hoisting module, a pipeline housing module, and a decorative surface layer module. The load-bearing hoisting module provides core support for the entire cable tray system and includes a threaded rod 2 and a square steel crossbeam 4. One end of the threaded rod 2 is fixed to the top of the floor slab with an expansion bolt 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the square steel crossbeam 4 with a fastening nut 3. In this embodiment, the load-bearing hoisting module provides core support for the entire system, and the threaded rod 2, fixed to the floor slab with an expansion bolt 1, has an adjustable height. The core component is the square steel crossbeam 4 with an array of mounting holes on four sides. This design allows for stepless adjustment of the installation height of the metal channel 5, ensuring precise horizontal alignment during installation and laying the foundation for the subsequent decorative surface layer.

[0029] In this embodiment, the pipeline accommodating module is a metal tray 5. The metal tray 5 is used to neatly accommodate various pipelines. Its interior has grooves, and within these grooves, square steel crossarms 4 with arrayed mounting holes at corresponding intervals are set according to the weight of the pipelines in the cable tray, based on calculation results. In this embodiment, the threaded rod 2, the square steel crossarms 4, and the metal tray 5 are fixed together as a single unit using fastening nuts 3, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. The metal tray 5 itself serves as a decorative base layer, and its outer surface is coated with a frosted anti-corrosion primer at the factory.

[0030] In this embodiment, the decorative surface layer module includes a flexible water-resistant putty 6 and a plastic protective film 7. The flexible water-resistant putty 6 is applied to the anti-corrosion primer on the surface of the metal tray 5, and a peelable plastic protective film 7 is placed on the surface of the flexible water-resistant putty 6. This embodiment is key to achieving "concealment" and "integration." After installation and pipeline laying, the plastic protective film 7 outside the metal tray 5 is removed, and the final decorative surface layer is directly painted or bonded according to the design color. All structural components, screws, and junction boxes are perfectly hidden inside the uniform decorative surface, leaving no visual trace.

[0031] To further illustrate the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a construction method for an integrated cable tray system that combines building cladding and pipeline laying, comprising the following steps:

[0032] S1: Pre-treatment of metal tray box 5. According to the detailed design, the factory is commissioned to produce metal tray box 5. After the bottom plate of metal tray box 5 is painted with anti-rust paint and completely dried, it is sanded. After sanding, the surface dust and oil are cleaned until the paint surface is completely dry and clean. After the paint surface is cleaned, 2mm-3mm of flexible water-resistant putty 6 is applied. After drying, the surface is covered with plastic protective film 7, thus forming the finished decorative integrated cable tray tray box.

[0033] S2: After the metal trough box 5 is transported to the construction site, it is positioned on the roof of the building according to the design drawings. After positioning, the threaded rod 2 is fixed with expansion screw 1.

[0034] S3: Based on the crossarm spacing calculated from the cable tray load-bearing data, the square steel crossarm 4 with arrayed mounting holes on all four sides is fixedly installed in the side groove of the metal trough box 5 according to the corresponding spacing calculated from the results.

[0035] S4: Fix the metal channel box 5 with the square steel crossbeam 4 installed on it to the threaded rod 2 with the fastening nut 3. Use the threaded rod 2 and the fastening nut 3 to adjust the height and level, and control the error range within ±2mm.

[0036] S5: Install partitions 8 according to the number, location and specifications of pipelines planned in the cable tray. The partitions 8 are fixed to the built-in square steel crossbeams 4 with screws.

[0037] S6: After the partition 8 is fixed, the pipeline is laid. After the pipeline is laid, the plastic protective film 7 on the surface is removed, and the final decorative coating is formed by uniform spraying.

[0038] At this point, the entire cable tray system is completely integrated with the ceiling, forming an integrated cable tray system that combines architectural cladding with pipeline installation.

[0039] In summary, this invention provides an integrated cable tray system and method that combines building cladding with pipeline installation. It transforms the cable tray from a decorative object into part of the decorative base layer. Through a unique structural design, the cable tray's support system (crossarm) is concealed internally, and the lower panel of the cable tray box serves as the decorative base layer. This achieves an integrated cable tray system that combines water and electricity management with decoration. It is applicable to a wide range of scenarios, particularly those with high space requirements and aesthetic demands, or where numerous pipelines cause conflicts between the cable tray and ceiling hanger joists, preventing proper ceiling installation. It is especially suitable for ceilings combining gypsum board edge hanging and mineral wool board in corridors of large public buildings. Furthermore, this invention can replace gypsum board edge hanging by arranging double-sided integrated decorative cable trays.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
