Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable tray technology, specifically to a cable tray that is easy to assemble and install, and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Cable trays are commonly used support and protection devices for cable laying in electrical equipment power supply systems. They protect and guide the cables laid in the trays. Traditional cable trays are mainly divided into trough type, ladder type, tray type and mesh type structures, which are composed of supports, brackets and installation accessories. Cable trays in buildings can be installed independently or laid on various building and pipe rack supports. They should reflect the characteristics of simple structure, beautiful appearance, flexible configuration and convenient maintenance. All parts need to be galvanized. Cable trays installed outdoors in buildings.

[0003] Currently, existing cable trays are produced in relatively short lengths for ease of production and transportation. When a larger area is required for the cable tray, the length of the tray becomes insufficient, resulting in significant limitations. In addition, most existing splicing cable trays are still connected by welding steel structures, which is inconvenient for overall installation. Therefore, it is necessary to design a cable tray structure that is easy to splice and install.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, we propose a cable tray design that facilitates splicing and installation, along with its usage method. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a cable tray that is easy to splice and install, as well as a method of using it, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0014] Preferably, a first slider is symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the horizontal plate, and the first slider is slidably arranged on the second slide groove. Mounting holes are also symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the horizontal plate.

[0015] A method for using a cable tray that is easy to install and splice, the method comprising the following steps: The first step involves symmetrically arranged side plates on both sides of the cable tray body. A top plate and a bottom plate are slidably arranged through a second sliding groove on the side plates, so that the top plate and the bottom plate are located in the middle of the side plates. A horizontal plate is slidably arranged in the second sliding groove near the outer side of the top plate and the bottom plate, and the horizontal plate is limited by bolts on the side plates. The horizontal plate is used to limit the top plate and the bottom plate. The second step is to slide the cable limiting component through the first sliding groove provided on the inner side of the side plate, and when the cable limiting component slides to the corresponding bolt hole in the first sliding groove, the cable limiting component is limited by the installation bolt. The third step involves installing the cable using several arc-shaped grooves provided in the cable limiting component. The clamping plate inside the arc-shaped groove, connected to a spring via a fixed post, ensures that the clamping plate fits against the cable, thereby clamping and limiting the cable.
