Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article belongs to the technical field of cable trays, specifically relating to a cable tray system with integrated lighting function. Background Technology

[0002] Cable trays, as important support and protection devices for cable laying in power and communication engineering, are widely used in industrial plants, commercial buildings and various power rooms. Existing cable trays are mostly designed to support and organize cables, and their structure is mainly composed of components such as troughs, side plates and covers. They can only provide physical support and protection for cables and lack additional functions such as active lighting and intelligent control.

[0003] Traditional lighting equipment relies on mains power, which not only increases energy consumption, but also makes it difficult to effectively meet lighting needs in outdoor or remote areas without mains power access. Existing cable trays have relatively limited functions and are not integrated with new energy power supply, intelligent control and other technologies. The switching and brightness adjustment of lighting equipment still require manual on-site operation, and cannot achieve timed automatic control or remote control, making it difficult to adapt to the development needs of intelligent operation and maintenance.

[0004] In summary, existing cable trays suffer from technical drawbacks such as limited functionality, lack of integrated lighting and intelligent control, reliance on mains power, inconvenient operation and maintenance, and significant safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a cable tray system that integrates lighting functions and can achieve self-powered and intelligent control to solve the aforementioned problems in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes a cable tray system with integrated lighting functionality. The system includes a solar panel, a top cover, a cable trough, an outer panel, an LED light, an infrared remote control receiver, and a control module. The solar panel is embedded in the top of the top cover, which is in turn embedded in the top of the cable trough. The cable trough includes side panels, a bottom plate, and a connecting plate. The side panels are perpendicularly connected to the bottom plate on both sides, and the top of the side panels is perpendicularly connected to the connecting plate. An outer panel is parallel to the side of the side panels and perpendicularly connected to the connecting plate. The LED light is positioned between the outer panel and the side panel, with its beam pointing towards the lower part of the cable trough. The infrared remote control receiver is mounted on the outer surface of the outer panel. The control module includes an energy storage unit, a timing control unit, and an infrared signal processing unit. The energy storage unit is connected to a solar panel to store electrical energy. The timing control unit controls the on / off periods of the LED lights. The infrared signal processing unit receives control signals from an infrared remote control and controls the on / off state of the LED lights. The control module is integrated inside the cable tray. The solar panel, LED lights, and infrared remote control signal receiver are all electrically connected to the control module. Through the integrated design of the overall structure, solar power supply, intelligent lighting, and the cable tray body are deeply integrated, eliminating the need for separate installation of lighting and power supply equipment, simplifying the construction process and site layout. At the same time, the LED lights illuminate the area below the cable tray, accurately matching the lighting needs of cable inspection and maintenance, improving the convenience and safety of operation and maintenance.

[0006] The top surface of the cover has an mounting groove that matches the shape of the solar panel. The solar panel is embedded in the mounting groove, and the edge of the solar panel is bonded and fixed to the cover with waterproof sealant. Several metal pressure plates are set on both sides of the mounting groove. The metal pressure plates are connected to the cover with bolts to fix the solar panel. The mounting groove achieves precise positioning of the solar panel. Combined with the bonding and sealing of the waterproof sealant and the bolt fastening of the metal pressure plates, a multi-layered fixing and protection structure is formed, which not only ensures the stability of the solar panel installation and effectively resists the influence of external forces such as wind and vibration, but also achieves good waterproof and dustproof effects.

[0007] The cable tray is concave in shape, with several ventilation holes on its side panel. A cooling fan is installed on the outer side panel of the cable tray, and the cooling fan is electrically connected to the control module. The start and stop of the cooling fan are automatically controlled by the control module based on the working status of the LED lights and the internal temperature of the cable tray. Passive heat dissipation is achieved through the ventilation holes on the side panel of the tray, combined with the active heat dissipation mode of the cooling fan, forming a highly efficient heat dissipation system. The control module automatically adjusts the start and stop of the cooling fan based on the heat generated by the LED lights and the internal temperature of the cable tray. This not only dissipates the heat generated by the LED lights and control module during operation in a timely manner, but also avoids ineffective energy consumption, ensuring that the cables and electrical components inside the cable tray are in a suitable temperature environment, and improving the overall reliability and stability of the system.

[0008] The LED light size is matched to the distance between the outer side plate of the cable tray and the side plate of the cable tray. The LED lights are strip-shaped and arranged along the length of the cable tray. The precise matching of the LED light size and the installation gap ensures that the installation is stable and does not occupy extra space. The strip structure, combined with the continuous arrangement along the length of the cable tray, achieves full coverage of the lighting area. The light is evenly distributed in the cable laying and maintenance work area, providing sufficient and soft lighting conditions for maintenance personnel, and further improving the safety and convenience of maintenance operations.

[0009] The infrared remote control signal receiver is compatible with the control signals of the infrared remote control. The infrared remote control integrates an LED light switch. The control signals emitted by the infrared remote control are transmitted to the infrared remote control signal receiver and processed by the infrared signal processing unit to control the switching of the LED light. Through the compatibility design between the infrared remote control and the signal receiver, combined with the integrated LED light switch, remote and convenient control of the LED light is achieved. Maintenance personnel can flexibly control the LED light switch within a safe distance according to actual operation and maintenance needs, without close contact with the cable tray or additional operations, simplifying the control process and improving ease of use.

[0010] The control module also includes an overcharge protection unit, which is connected to the energy storage unit. The overcharge protection unit protects the energy storage unit. Through the linkage design between the overcharge protection unit and the energy storage unit, the charging status of the energy storage unit can be monitored in real time. When the energy storage unit reaches full charge, the charging circuit is automatically cut off to avoid overcharging, which could damage or degrade the energy storage unit. This ensures the charging and discharging safety and lifespan of the energy storage unit, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the solar power supply system and providing continuous and reliable power support for the LED lights.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] Through the integrated design of the overall structure, solar power supply, intelligent lighting and cable tray body are deeply integrated, eliminating the need for separate installation of lighting and power supply equipment, simplifying the construction process and site layout. At the same time, the LED lights illuminate the area below the cable tray, accurately matching the lighting needs of cable inspection and maintenance, improving the convenience and safety of operation and maintenance.

[0013] The solar panel is precisely positioned by embedding grooves, and combined with the bonding and sealing of waterproof sealant and the bolt fastening of metal pressure plates, a multi-layered fixed and protective structure is formed. This not only ensures the stability of the solar panel installation and effectively resists the influence of external forces such as wind and vibration, but also achieves good waterproof and dustproof effects.

[0014] Passive heat dissipation is achieved through the heat dissipation holes on the side plate of the cable tray, combined with the active heat dissipation mode of the cooling fan to form an efficient heat dissipation system. The control module automatically adjusts the start and stop of the cooling fan according to the heat generated by the LED lights and the internal temperature of the cable tray. This not only dissipates the heat generated by the LED lights and control module during operation in a timely manner, but also avoids ineffective energy consumption, ensuring that the cables and electrical components inside the cable tray are in a suitable temperature environment, thereby improving the overall reliability and stability of the system.

[0015] By precisely matching the size of the LED lights with the installation gaps, the installation is ensured to be stable and does not occupy extra space. The strip structure, combined with the continuous arrangement along the length of the cable tray, achieves full coverage of the lighting area. The light is evenly distributed in the cable laying and maintenance work area, providing maintenance personnel with sufficient and soft lighting conditions, and further improving the safety and convenience of maintenance operations.

[0016] By adapting the infrared remote control and signal receiver to the integrated LED light switch, remote and convenient control of LED lights can be achieved. Maintenance personnel can flexibly control the LED light switch within a safe distance according to actual operation and maintenance needs, without having to make close contact with the cable tray or perform additional operations, which simplifies the control process and improves ease of use.

[0017] Through the linkage design of the overcharge protection unit and the energy storage unit, the charging status of the energy storage unit can be monitored in real time. When the energy storage unit reaches full charge, the charging circuit is automatically cut off to avoid overcharging, which may cause damage or performance degradation to the energy storage unit. This ensures the charging and discharging safety and service life of the energy storage unit, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the solar power supply system and providing continuous and reliable power support for LED lights.
