Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of machinery, and more particularly to a bracket for securing cables. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern power transmission, cables play a crucial role as a key component connecting power generation facilities to the power grid. This is especially true in renewable energy sectors such as wind power, where cables are indispensable. However, when transmitting electrical energy, the electromagnetic force generated by the current can cause cables to vibrate and sway. This not only affects the stability of the cables but can also pose a threat to the surrounding environment and personnel safety. Therefore, developing a support system that can effectively secure cables and reduce vibration is of great significance for ensuring the safety and reliability of power transmission.

[0003] In applications with densely packed cables, such as power transmission stations or substations, the inter-cable forces become particularly pronounced when current flows through them. Especially under extreme conditions like short circuits, the repulsive forces between cables can increase dramatically, raising safety risks. Traditional cable securing methods often rely on physical binding, but this method leads to greater mechanical stress on the cables as cable density increases, exacerbating their response to short circuits. Furthermore, the tight arrangement of cables reduces their heat dissipation area, decreasing heat dissipation efficiency. This can result in increased cable temperature and resistance after prolonged operation, affecting power transmission efficiency and increasing operating costs.

[0004] During operation, the thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes in cables can lead to additional stress at the fixing points. This repeated stress can cause fatigue or even damage to the fixing devices, thereby reducing their safety and reliability in emergency situations such as short circuits.

[0005] For cables used in high-voltage environments, their large size and weight make installation and maintenance complex and dangerous. For example, a large-diameter cable can weigh more than tens of kilograms per meter, requiring extreme care during installation to avoid injury to workers or damage to equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In summary, existing cable support technologies have many shortcomings, particularly in terms of safety, stability, heat dissipation efficiency, and ease of installation and maintenance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel cable support system to address these issues and improve cable performance and safety under various operating conditions. This system needs to be adaptable to cable fixing requirements under different environmental conditions, while reducing electromagnetic interference between cables and improving the efficiency and reliability of power transmission.

[0007] The purpose of this disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of related technologies and to provide an improved bracket for fixing cables.

[0008] This disclosure provides a support for securing cables. The support includes a frame assembly, a spacer assembly, and a mounting base. The spacer assembly is mounted on one side of the mounting base, for example, in a high-voltage transmission scenario, to space the transmission cables. The frame assembly can be movably connected to the mounting base via a coupling device, thereby allowing the frame assembly to have at least a fully open state and a closed state. The coupling device can be configured to hold (e.g., maintain) the frame assembly in any posture (e.g., position) between the fully open and closed states, for example, forming and maintaining different angles with the mounting base to facilitate easy pre-binding of cables to the appropriate position. In the fully open state, the spacer assembly does not contact the frame assembly. This allows the spacer assembly to be exposed as much as possible without being obstructed, thus providing greater space for cable placement within the support. In the closed state, the spacer assembly abuts against the frame assembly to form at least one aperture for the cable to pass through.

[0009] This technical solution provides a support for fixing cables. The flexible and convenient design, achieved through the movable connection between the frame assembly and the mounting base, allows the frame assembly to switch between a fully open and closed state, facilitating cable installation and maintenance. In the fully open state, the spacer assembly does not contact the frame assembly, facilitating cable insertion and removal. In the closed state, the spacer assembly abuts against the frame assembly, securing the cable, ensuring stability, reducing vibration, and improving safety. This support design helps reduce cable swaying and vibration caused by electromagnetic forces, lowering the risks that cables may pose to the surrounding environment and personnel during operation. Furthermore, it is understood that the adjustable design of the spacer assembly and frame assembly allows the support to accommodate cables of different sizes and adjust the aperture according to changes in the number of cables, thereby increasing the support's versatility and adaptability, resulting in a compact structure suitable for installation in confined spaces. Overall, the support design proposed in this disclosure improves cable stability and safety, simplifies maintenance, and enhances the reliability and efficiency of power transmission.

[0010] According to one possible implementation, the frame assembly includes two arms shaped such that, when rotated toward each other via a connecting device to reach a closed state, the two arms and the mounting base together form a rounded, closed shape when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation. By designing the frame assembly to include two rotatable arms, an adjustable closure mechanism is achieved. When the two arms rotate toward each other to a closed state via the connecting device, they, together with the mounting base, form a structure that presents a rounded, closed shape when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation. This design not only provides a robust cable securing solution, but the rounded, closed shape also enhances the structural integrity and aesthetics of the bracket, while potentially reducing the risk of damage to electrical installations from the sharp edges of the bracket, thus improving overall safety and usability.

[0011] According to one possible implementation, the coupling device includes two rotatable members, one for each arm. The rotatable members are located at the first end of each arm and are movably connected to a mounting base. By integrating the rotatable members at the first end of each arm, a movable connection between the arm and the mounting base is achieved, providing a highly flexible support structure. As used herein, the term "movably connected" means that one end of the arm is connected to the mounting base via a rotatable member, allowing the arm to rotate within a certain range relative to the base. This design allows the support to accommodate cables of different sizes and shapes, while providing greater flexibility and operating space during installation and maintenance. Its technical advantages lie in enhanced adaptability and flexibility of the support, allowing the same support to be used for various cable configurations, while simplifying installation and maintenance. Due to the flexibility of the movable connection, the position of the arms can be more easily adjusted and positioned, reducing the need for precise pre-alignment, thus saving time and labor.

[0012] According to one possible implementation, the cable holder proposed in this disclosure further includes a locking device. In the closed state, the locking device locks the two arms at their respective second ends. The addition of the locking device achieves stable positioning of the two arms in the closed state. Located at the second end of the arms, the locking device secures them when closed, preventing relative displacement between the arms, or allowing relative displacement within a certain range to accommodate cable movement caused by thermal expansion or electromagnetic forces during power transmission. This design improves the stability and safety of the holder, ensuring effective cable fixation under various operating conditions, reducing cable damage caused by vibration or thermal expansion and contraction, and simplifying cable installation and maintenance because the locking device provides an adjustable fastening solution to accommodate different cable fixing requirements.

[0013] According to one possible implementation, the spacer assembly includes multiple support frames. Each of the multiple support frames is connected to at least one other of the multiple support frames via a connecting device. By including multiple support frames in the spacer assembly and interconnecting these support frames via connecting devices, a flexible and scalable support structure is achieved. This design allows the spacer assembly to be adjusted and configured as needed to accommodate different numbers and sizes of cables, while providing enhanced stability and structural integrity. In this way, the support can evenly distribute the forces between the cables, reducing stress concentration at individual connection points, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the entire cable mounting bracket. In addition to reducing mutual interference between cables, this modular support frame design also facilitates installation and maintenance, as each support frame can be adjusted or replaced independently without disassembling the entire spacer assembly, which is particularly useful during cable maintenance or upgrades.

[0014] According to one possible embodiment, the cable holder disclosed herein further includes a fixed base and a sliding mechanism. The fixed base has a fixing portion and a receiving portion, with the fixing portion located at both ends of the receiving portion and having mounting holes. The receiving portion is configured such that the mounting base fits comfortably into the fixed base. The sliding mechanism is configured such that the mounting base can slide relative to the fixed base.

[0015] This technical solution integrates a fixed base and a sliding mechanism. The fixed base comprises a fixing part and a receiving part, wherein the fixing part is located at both ends of the receiving part and has mounting holes, while the receiving part is designed to accommodate the mounting base. The sliding mechanism allows the mounting base to slide relative to the fixed base. This design allows the bracket to be "passively" and flexibly adjusted (e.g., in a direction generally perpendicular to the cable extension direction) to absorb the swaying and vibration of the cable in the lateral direction perpendicular to its extension direction. As used herein, the term "accommodation" means that the structural design of the receiving part can precisely match and accommodate the mounting base, ensuring that the fit between the two is both stable and easy to adjust. The technical benefit is that this design provides convenience and flexibility during installation, allowing the bracket to be adjusted and fine-tuned according to the swaying caused by electromechanical forces when the cable is energized or transmitting power, to achieve optimal "soft" fixation. At the same time, the introduction of the sliding mechanism allows the mounting base to move smoothly on the fixed base, facilitating the rapid absorption and counteracting of cable swaying, improving the safety of cable fixation, and enhancing the applicability and practicality of the bracket.

[0016] According to one possible implementation, the sliding mechanism includes one or more limiting members and one or more waist-shaped limiting holes. The mounting base is provided with limiting members, and the receiving part has waist-shaped limiting holes. The limiting members are correspondingly inserted into the waist-shaped limiting holes. This achieves the sliding function of the mounting base relative to the fixed base, and through the cooperation of the limiting members and the waist-shaped limiting holes, the movement range of the mounting base can be precisely controlled, i.e., "limiting". As used herein, the term "limiting" means restricting the displacement of an object within a certain range, which here means that the movement of the mounting base is precisely controlled within the range of the waist-shaped limiting holes, preventing excessive movement or instability. The limiting function ensures that the bracket can securely fix the cable after being adjusted to the appropriate position, avoiding excessive displacement due to vibration or external forces, and enhancing the stability and reliability of the bracket. Furthermore, the limiting design allows for fine-tuning while ensuring safety to accommodate cables of different sizes or cable layout adjustments, improving the flexibility and applicability of the bracket.

[0017] According to one possible implementation, the mounting holes include a first oblong mounting hole and a second oblong mounting hole that are perpendicular to each other. One of the fixing parts has a first oblong mounting hole, and the other of the fixing parts has a second oblong mounting hole. The fixing parts of the fixing base have vertically arranged first oblong mounting holes and second oblong mounting holes, respectively used for horizontal and vertical mounting within the plane of the fixing base. This design allows the bracket to adapt to the S-shaped arrangement of the cable, allowing a single bracket to rotate as needed in the S-shaped cable layout, so that multiple brackets can be flexibly fixed to possible rotational positions in the S-shaped cable layout. In the cable fixing bracket proposed in this disclosure, the design of the first oblong mounting hole and the second oblong mounting hole allows the bracket to be movable, such as rotating and sliding. The advantage of this configuration is that, through the setting of these oblong holes, the bracket's ability to adapt to changes in cable position is improved, ensuring the stability of the cable in the movable fixed state of the bracket, reducing stress concentration caused by changes in cable layout direction, and simultaneously improving the installation flexibility and adaptability of the bracket. The waist-shaped hole design allows the bracket to accommodate S-shaped cable layouts, ensuring the neatness and stability of the cable arrangement, effectively simplifying the installation process and reducing labor intensity.

[0018] According to one possible implementation, the connecting device includes a pair of protrusions and recesses disposed on the mounting end face of the support frame. As used herein, the term "mounting end face" refers to a surface on the support frame designed for mating and securing with other components. This design allows for a precise fit between the protrusions and recesses, ensuring a robust connection and accurate alignment. The benefit of this design is that it provides a simple and effective connection mechanism, enabling support frames to be stably connected to each other while facilitating installation and adjustment. The fit between the protrusions and recesses not only enhances the overall stability of the structure but also allows for rapid positioning and securing of the support frame in various installation scenarios, improving installation efficiency and reliability.

[0019] According to one possible implementation, the multiple support frames include a lower support frame and two upper support frames. An internally threaded hole is provided through the upper support frame, and a nut is provided in a recess of the lower support frame. The connecting device also includes a bolt that passes through the internally threaded hole and is tightened to the nut to secure the upper support frame to the lower support frame. This provides a quick and reliable connection method, allowing multiple support frames to be securely assembled together while allowing for rapid disassembly and adjustment to accommodate different cable layouts. The use of the internally threaded hole and the nut enhances the structural stability and load-bearing capacity.

[0020] In one possible implementation, at least the inner side of each arm is provided with a sheath. This effectively protects the cable from mechanical damage and environmental factors such as abrasion, corrosion, or external impact. The sheath not only enhances the cable's durability but also helps maintain its insulation performance, reducing the risk of electrical faults. Furthermore, the sheath provides additional support, helping to fix the cable position and reduce movement under stress, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of power transmission.

[0021] In one possible implementation, an insulating pad is also provided on the side of the mounting base where the spacer assembly is mounted. The insulating pad is sandwiched between the spacer assembly and the mounting base. This prevents electrical short circuits or accidental current conduction, enhancing the safety of the cable fixing system. The use of the insulating pad also helps reduce vibration and noise, protects the cable from mechanical stress and environmental factors, thereby extending the cable's service life. Furthermore, the presence of the insulating pad helps isolate direct contact between the mounting base and the spacer assembly, reducing the risk of wear and improving the stability and reliability of the entire support system.

[0039] The following descriptions of exemplary embodiments refer to the accompanying drawings. These exemplary embodiments are merely specific implementations of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure in any way. Directional terms used in this disclosure, such as [up], [down], [front], [rear], [left], [right], [inner], [outer], [side], etc., refer only to directions referenced to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustration and understanding of this disclosure and not for limiting it. In the drawings, structurally similar units are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the drawings, for clarity and ease of description, the dimensions of some components have been exaggerated and / or the structures of some components simplified. That is, the dimensions and structures of each component shown in the drawings are schematic and are not limiting in this respect.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a cable holder 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a cable holder 100 is provided, which may include: a frame assembly 1, a spacer assembly 2, and a mounting base 3. The spacer assembly 2 may be mounted on one side of the mounting base 3, which is the upper side of the mounting base in the figure. The frame assembly 1 may be movably connected to the mounting base 3 via a connecting device 4, such that the frame assembly 1 has at least a fully open state and a closed state. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the fully open state, the spacer assembly 2 may not contact the frame assembly 1, while in the closed state, the spacer assembly 2 may abut against the frame assembly 1 to form at least one aperture 50 for the cable to pass through.

[0041] refer to Figures 2 to 4 . Figure 2 This is a front view of a cable holder 100 with the frame assembly in a one-sided open state, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 This is a front view of a cable holder 100 with the frame assembly in a double-sided open state, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] Figure 4This is a front view of a cable holder 100 in a closed state according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the frame assembly 1 may include two arms 11 shaped such that, when rotated toward each other via a coupling device 4 to reach a closed state, the two arms 11 and the mounting base 3 together form a rounded closed shape when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Although in Figures 1 to 4 Three apertures 50 are shown, and cable sections passing through the three apertures 50 are also shown; however, it is understood that this does not constitute any limitation on this disclosure. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the shape and / or size of each of the arm 11, the spacer assembly 2, and / or the mounting base 3 can be adjusted as needed to form one or more apertures different in number and shape from those shown for cables of different sizes, cross-sections, and numbers to pass through and be secured by the bracket 100.

[0043] Figure 5 This is a partial perspective view of a cable holder 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the connecting device 4 may include two rotatable members 41, one for each arm 11. The rotatable members 41 are disposed at the first end 111 of each arm 11 and are movably connected to the mounting base 3 (e.g., pivot, pin, etc.). By integrating the rotatable members 41 at the first end 111 of each arm 11, a movable connection between the arm 11 and the mounting base 3 is achieved, thereby providing a highly flexible holder structure, for example, the arm 11 can be rotated to and held in a fully open and closed state, and can be held in any position between the fully open and closed states. Return to Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cable holder 100 disclosed herein can also be opened from one side or both sides simultaneously. When both sides are opened simultaneously, the opening angles of the two arms 11 can also be different. It should be noted that... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The opening angle of the frame component 1 (e.g., arm 11) shown does not necessarily correspond to the fully open state, and therefore the posture, angle, position, etc. of the illustrated components do not constitute any limitation on this disclosure.

[0044] Figure 6This is a schematic perspective view of a spacer assembly for securing a cable holder 100 according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown, the spacer assembly 2 may include a plurality of support frames 21. Each of the plurality of support frames 21 may be connected to at least one other of the plurality of support frames 21 by a connecting means. In the example, the spacer assembly 2 may be arranged in a “Y” shape to separate cables and reduce the mutual influence of magnetic fields between cables, as depicted in the figure. In the example, the support frames 21 may be provided with reinforcing ribs or stiffeners to improve structural strength. It is understood that although a Y-shaped arrangement of the spacer assembly 2 is shown in the figure, this does not constitute any limitation on the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the number, size, and shape of the support frames 21 can be changed to obtain spacer assemblies different from the Y-shaped spacer assembly 2 shown in the figure.

[0045] Figure 7 This is a perspective view of a bracket 100 for securing cables according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0046] Figure 8 This is a front view of a cable holder 100 for securing cables according to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. Figures 1 to 6 The bracket 100 shown is different from the one shown. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As the frame assembly 1 (e.g., the two arms 11) rotates toward each other to reach a closed state, the bracket 100 shown appears as a rounded quadrilateral shape, rather than a rounded triangle, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation. This is because... Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the middle, the spacer assembly 2 includes four support frames 21, which form a cross structure. In some cases, there may be four transmission cables, therefore... Figure 7 and Figure 8 The construction of the bracket 100 shown may be particularly advantageous in this regard.

[0047] Figure 9 This is a partial perspective view of a bracket for securing cables according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0048] Figure 10This is a top view of a support for securing a cable according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the support 100 may further include a locking device 5 for locking the two arms 11 when they are closed, such that the arms 11 do not shift relative to each other or allow for a permissible range of shift relative to each other, for example, to prevent the cable from expanding due to heat or swaying due to power transmission. In the example, the locking device 5 is provided at a second end 112 of the arm 11 opposite the first end 111. Specifically, the second end 112 may include a lug 1121 with a hole for screws to pass through and nuts to be tightened.

[0049] Return to reference Figure 1 According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the bracket 100 may further include a fixed base 6 and a sliding mechanism 7. The fixed base 6 may have a fixing portion 61 and a receiving portion 62, with the fixing portion 61 located at both ends of the receiving portion 62. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a mounting hole is provided in the fixing portion 61. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the receiving portion 62 may be configured such that the mounting base 3 is adapted to the fixed base 6. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the sliding mechanism 7 may be configured such that the mounting base 3 can slide relative to the fixed base 6. In the example, the sliding mechanism 7 may include one or more limiting members 71 and one or more waist-shaped limiting holes 72. Specifically, the mounting base 3 is provided with limiting members 71, and the receiving portion 62 of the fixed base 6 is provided with waist-shaped limiting holes 72. The limiting members 71 are correspondingly inserted through the waist-shaped limiting holes 72. It should be noted that although the limiting member 71 and the waist-shaped limiting hole 72 are only shown as being provided on the front side of the drawing (i.e., the limiting member 71 and the waist-shaped limiting hole 72 are respectively provided on the front side of the mounting base 3 and the fixed base 6), it is easy to understand that the limiting member 71 and the waist-shaped limiting hole 72 can be additionally or alternatively provided on the rear side of the drawing (i.e., the limiting member 71 and the waist-shaped limiting hole 72 are respectively provided on the rear side of the mounting base 3 and the fixed base 6, or the waist-shaped limiting hole 72 is provided aligned on the front and rear sides of the fixed base 6 and the limiting member 71 is inserted on the front and rear sides of the mounting base 3 so that the limiting member 71 slides uniformly in the corresponding waist-shaped limiting hole 72 on the front and rear sides, etc.).

[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 10 The mounting holes described above may include a first waist-shaped mounting hole 81 and a second waist-shaped mounting hole 82 that are perpendicular to each other. By way of example and not limitation, one of the fixing parts 61 (e.g., the left fixing part) has a first waist-shaped mounting hole 81, and the other of the fixing parts 61 (e.g., the right fixing part) has a second waist-shaped mounting hole 82. The vertically arranged first waist-shaped mounting hole and second waist-shaped mounting hole are respectively provided in the fixing parts of the fixing base 6, allowing the bracket to adapt to the S-shaped arrangement of the cable, allowing a single bracket to rotate as needed in the S-shaped cable arrangement, for example, in the horizontal direction within the plane of the fixing base (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The first direction (x) and the vertical direction (e.g., shown) are shown. Figure 1 The second direction y (which is basically perpendicular to the first direction) is shifted within its respective tolerance, increasing the installation flexibility of the bracket. It can be seen that... Figure 10 and Figure 1 The difference lies in the absence of fixing bolts in the first oblong mounting hole 81 and the second oblong mounting hole 82, so as to more clearly show the perpendicular arrangement of the first oblong mounting hole 81 and the second oblong mounting hole 82. According to embodiments of this disclosure, the first oblong mounting hole 81 and the second oblong mounting hole 82 can be configured for movable fixing of the cable holder proposed in this disclosure. As used herein, the term "movable fixing" means allowing the holder to be adjusted or moved (e.g., rotated, slid, etc.) to a certain extent during installation or use to accommodate different installation conditions or changes in cable layout. This design allows the holder to be flexibly fixed to electrical installations, for example, by rotation, sliding, or other movements to accommodate cable layout and tension management.

[0051] Figure 11 This is a partial perspective view of a bracket for securing a cable according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example, the mounting base 3 is positioned in a first direction (e.g., Figures 2 to 4 A set of opposing edges along the length direction (x) of the mounting base 3 extends substantially vertically from the plane of the mounting base 3 away from it to form a first sidewall 31. The distal ends of the first sidewall 31 bend perpendicularly to each other to form a pair of feet 32. Correspondingly, the receiving portion 62 has a set of opposing second sidewalls 63, such that the mounting base 3 is accommodated within the fixed base 6. For example, the second sidewalls 63 are located on the periphery of the first sidewall 31 (e.g., they may fit against or contact the first sidewall), thereby forming a tunnel-like space. In this example, the sliding mechanism 7 may additionally include a rolling element 73 (e.g., a bullseye caster) mounted on the first feet 32 ​​and capable of rolling along the first direction (x) on the fixed base 6. This facilitates smooth movement of the sliding mechanism 7. In this example, the rolling element 73 may be a standard component and can therefore be selected according to the load.

[0052] Figure 12This is a schematic partially exploded view of a support for securing cables according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the connecting device may include a pair of protrusions 91 and recesses 92 disposed on the mounting end face of the support frame. By way of example and not limitation, the plurality of support frames 21 include a lower support frame 211 and two upper support frames 212. An internally threaded hole (not shown) may be provided through the upper support frame 212, and a nut (not shown) may be provided at the recess 92 of the lower support frame 211. Accordingly, the connecting device may also include a bolt 93 that passes through the internally threaded hole and is tightened to the nut to secure the upper support frame 212 to the lower support frame 211.

[0053] Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of a cable support for fixing cables according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown, the cable support arranged along the S-shaped extension trajectory of the cable effectively disperses the stress on the cable, avoiding stress concentration caused by straight-line pulling or tautness, and reducing the risk of cable damage. Simultaneously, this arrangement provides the cable with a degree of flexibility, allowing it to adapt to length changes under temperature variations or other external forces, reducing mechanical stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction, thereby enhancing the cable's durability and reliability.

Figure 15 This is a perspective view of a cable holder for securing a cable according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, with the sliding mechanism in a slidable state. It will be understood that the size of the waist-shaped limiting hole 72 can be adjusted as needed to provide a suitable amount of sliding. It can also be seen that at least the inner side of each arm 11 may be provided with a sheath 113. By way of example and not limitation, slots may be provided for the sheaths 113 on the arms 11. Additionally or alternatively, an insulating pad 114 may also be provided on the side of the mounting base 3 where the spacer assembly 2 is mounted, the insulating pad 114 being sandwiched between the spacer assembly 2 and the mounting base 3.

[0055] Figure 16 This is a partial perspective view of a bracket for securing cables according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. For clarity, the right-hand arm 11 is not shown. It will be readily understood that the bolt 93 can be tightened with the arm 11 in the open state to secure the upper support frame 212 to the lower support frame 211, thereby completing the assembly of the spacer assembly 2.
