Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable wiring technology, and in particular to a magnetically attached number tube arrangement device. Background Technology

[0002] As equipment is updated and iterated, the equipment in the power plant will be upgraded and transformed one after another. Among these upgrades, the cabinet transformation and transformation work involves a lot of wiring work. During the transformation, the cables on the old cabinet need to be removed first, and then the cables need to be reconnected after the new cabinet is installed. Since the naming method of the control card points in the old and new cabinets is very different, the number tubes on the cables are often replaced with the new version during the upgrade and transformation. At this time, the demand for number tubes increases significantly.

[0003] In the past, wiring personnel would paste the printed number tubes onto the cabinet door, and the number tube printer would print them sequentially. However, in actual wiring work, the staff would first randomly select a cable and then look for the corresponding number tube. If the corresponding number tube appeared in the middle of the sequence, then the consecutive number tubes had to be cut off to remove the required part. Over time, as the wiring progressed, more and more number tubes were cut off, making the site more chaotic, and sometimes even causing the number tubes to be lost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to improve cable wiring efficiency by providing a cable wiring method.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A magnetic number tube arrangement device includes a back plate, tube posts, and magnets; the back of the back plate has a groove in which the embedded magnet is embedded, and the front of the back plate has multiple wiring tube posts for mounting number tubes.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the top or upper middle part of the tube column is provided with an annular elastic protrusion, and the end of the tube column is provided with a baffle or an enlarged step.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the cross-section of the tubular column is circular or polygonal.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the top of the tubing is a round head, a conical head, or a hemispherical inlet; the entire tubing or the inlet section is tapered, with the diameter of the end near the back plate being larger than that of the end away from the back plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the multiple tubular columns are arranged in an alternating equilateral triangular honeycomb pattern.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the front of the back panel is divided into several independent areas, each area being separated by lines, color blocks or small partitions, corresponding to different wire diameters, different numbering segments or different cabinet wire harnesses.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the pipe columns in each area are arranged in a mirror image of the terminal blocks: the number of rows and columns of the pipe columns corresponds to the number of positions of the actual terminal blocks.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the back plate is provided with equally spaced grid slots or magnetic bases on the front, and the bottom of the column is designed as an independent unit that can be plugged in and slidably locked.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the bottom of the independent column module is equipped with a magnet or clip, which can be directly attached to any position in the iron cabinet.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, one or more sub-plates are hinged to the side of the back plate, and the front of the sub-plates is provided with columns.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1) With this patented invention, wiring personnel only need to insert the number tube into the conduit before starting work. When wiring, they can simply search for the cable in the conduit based on the retrieved cable, which greatly improves efficiency compared to searching through the previous number strips. Furthermore, the number tube can be pre-segmented and inserted into the conduit before starting the wiring work, keeping the wiring site tidy and greatly avoiding the loss of the number tube due to too many segments.

[0016] 2) This invention patent uses a strong magnet to attach the back panel to the cabinet door. It is easily removed after wiring work in that cabinet is completed. Wiring personnel can then easily take it to the next cabinet for work, allowing for multiple reuses. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These embodiments are based on the technical solution of the present invention and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0021] Example 1 This invention proposes a magnetically attached number tube arrangement device, which mainly consists of three parts: a back plate 1, tube posts 3, and strong magnets 4. The back plate 1 is made of non-metallic material, and there is a groove on the back of the back plate 1 into which strong magnets 4 can be embedded. The strong magnets 4 are used to attach to the cabinet door, and multiple wiring posts 3 are arranged on the front of the back plate 1 for mounting number tubes 2.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple sets of vertical wiring posts 3 are evenly arranged on the front of the back plate 1. The posts 3 and the back plate 1 are integrally injection molded structures, which are firmly connected and not easy to break. The posts 3 adopt a cylindrical structure, and the outer diameter is adapted to the inner diameter of conventional electrical number tubes, which can easily realize the connection and sliding of number tubes, while effectively limiting the left and right displacement and falling off of number tubes.

[0023] Multiple tubing columns 3 are arranged in a parallel matrix with equal spacing, which avoids overcrowding and mutual obstruction of adjacent number tubes, and maximizes the use of back panel space. Multiple sets of number tubes of different specifications and numbers can be stored simultaneously and systematically. The height of tubing column 3 is adapted to the length of commonly used number tubes, and it can be connected in single-section or multiple sections of number tubes stacked sequentially, meeting the storage needs of number tubes for batch wiring operations. It is the core carrier for achieving orderly arrangement and classified storage of number tubes.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the strong magnet 4 is the fixed adsorption component of the device. It is made of high-magnetic-strength neodymium iron boron magnet material, which has strong magnetic force, stable adsorption, and long service life. The shape of the strong magnet fits perfectly with the groove on the back of the back panel. After being embedded in the groove, it is flush with the back of the back panel without any protrusions or gaps, which can ensure that the back panel is tightly attached to the surface of the cabinet door.

[0025] When using the device, the wiring personnel first attach the magnetic backplate 1 to the cabinet door, and then insert the number tubes one by one into the tube posts 3 on the front side. When the wiring personnel begin wiring, they check the markings on the old number tubes based on the cable they have picked up, and then locate the corresponding new number tubes on the backplate 1.

[0026] Example 2 As another embodiment of the present invention, the main difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 lies in the arrangement of the tubular column 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, the tube column 3 can be not only cylindrical, but also polygonal in cross-section (triangular, square with chamfered corners) to accommodate different shaped number tubes and prevent rotation. An annular elastic protrusion, such as a rubber O-ring or a molded flexible flap, is added to the top or upper middle part of the tube column 3. Slight force is required when pushing the number tube 2 in, and once in place, the protrusion prevents it from slipping off due to tilting of the back plate or vibration. A stop or enlarged step is provided at the end of the tube column 3 (the end connected to the back plate 1) as a positioning stop for the number tube 2, ensuring consistent insertion depth and neat arrangement.

[0028] The top of the tube column 3 is designed with a round, conical, or hemispherical inlet to reduce the difficulty of initial alignment and allow for quick positioning even if the line of sight is obstructed. The tube column 3 as a whole or its inlet section has a slight taper (slightly thicker near the back plate and slightly thinner at the top), which ensures that the number tube 2 does not wobble after insertion and makes the insertion process smoother.

[0029] Multiple tube columns 3 are arranged in an alternating equilateral triangular honeycomb pattern. Compared with an equidistant rectangular matrix, it can accommodate about 15% more tube columns in the same back plate area, while ensuring that adjacent numbered tubes 2 do not interfere with each other.

[0030] The front of the back panel 1 is divided into several independent areas, each separated by lines, color blocks, or small partitions, corresponding to different wire diameters, different numbering segments, or different wiring harnesses within the cabinet. The posts 3 within each area are arranged in a mirror image of the terminal blocks: the number of rows and columns of post 3 corresponds to the number of positions on the actual terminal blocks. Wiring personnel can directly grab the corresponding numbered post 3 according to its location within the cabinet, reducing search and comparison time. Each post 3 has a card slot or whiteboard sticker next to it, allowing for handwritten or printed numbering segment identification. Posts and identifications correspond one-to-one, enabling quick replacement of identifications when changing tasks.

[0031] The back panel 1 features equally spaced grid slots or magnetic bases on its front, while the bottom of the tube column 3 is designed as a pluggable, sliding, and locking independent unit. Wiring personnel can freely adjust the position and spacing of the tube columns according to project needs, and even temporarily increase or decrease the number of tube columns. The independent tube column modules come with small magnets or clips, allowing them to be directly attached to any position in the metal cabinet, forming a combination of fixed array and temporary single column usage with the main array on the back panel.

[0032] One or more sub-plates are hinged to one side of the back plate 1, and the front of the sub-plates is also equipped with pipe columns 3. The sub-plates are folded and stored in normal conditions, occupying a single layer of space; when unfolded, they can provide twice the number of pipe columns 3, which is suitable for large-scale wiring modification projects. Pipe columns 3 can also be installed on the back of the sub-plates, making them usable on both sides. The number of pipe groups on the current working side can be switched by flipping them.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
