Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cable bridges, in particular to a bolt-free bridge connector. Background Art

[0002] Cable tray is a support structure for laying cables. It is a frequently used device in electrical engineering installation and has the effect of aesthetically pleasing external structure. Cable trays are generally divided into three structures: trough type, ladder type and tray type. Cable trays have been produced in my country for several decades and in advanced countries for nearly a hundred years. However, traditional cable trays are connected by bolts, which have low bending and shear strength, and excessive auxiliary materials cause excessive waste of materials. In addition, the installation process is backward, with at least 8 screws and up to 16 screws for each interface. The shortcomings of the prior art are summarized as follows:

[0003] 1. At present, the troughs of traditional cable trays on the market are generally connected to each other through fixing bolts and rectangular plates. The characteristics of this structure are simple structure and convenient processing. However, if the fixing bolts connecting the cable tray are not tight enough, the cable tray will be easily deformed and fall down, making it easy to scratch the cables at the cable tray connection. The cables are also easily scratched by the connecting screws, causing safety hazards.

[0004] 2. When installing traditional cable trays, the joints of the trays are fixed by connecting plates and bolts on both sides of the ends. Each connecting plate requires 6 to 8 sets of connecting bolts, and each connecting end requires 12 to 16 sets of connecting bolts. The installation efficiency is low, causing the installation progress to lag seriously.

[0005] 3. The connecting bolts account for a large number of the entire engineering material volume, and the common surface treatment in the industry is generally electroplating, which is seriously inconsistent with the surface treatment of the bridge body. The surface treatment of the cable bridge is generally sprayed plastic or hot-dip galvanizing, and the service life is not less than 40 years. Bolts are key parts for connecting bridges, and the service life of their electroplated anti-corrosion layer does not exceed 15 years, especially in a humid environment. The life will be even lower. There are two traditional solutions, one is to replace the bolts regularly, and the other is to use special bolts to increase the service life of the bolts. The first solution requires the replacement of the bolts at least 3 times during the use period, which has high maintenance costs and is inconvenient to use; the second solution requires improving the material of the bolts, with a large initial investment and high construction costs.

[0006] 4. The cable tray is composed of multiple bridge units according to the length of the cable to be laid. The two adjacent bridge units are connected together by bolts and a large number of bolt assemblies are used to fix the connection. The workers have a large workload and low work efficiency. The installation process is cumbersome and the cost is seriously wasted. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model provides a boltless cable tray connector, which effectively solves the problems of poor safety, poor reliability, high cost and low installation efficiency of the existing cable tray connection method. The device adopts a plug-in installation mode to eliminate the use of bolt connections, thereby achieving the purposes of firm connection, strong load-bearing capacity and long service life.

[0008] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0009] A boltless cable tray connector, which is used to connect two adjacent cable trays, comprising:

[0010] A right angle frame, the right angle frame is used to fit the side wall and the bottom wall of the cable tray; and a plug group, the right angle frame is provided with a plurality of plug groups, and the plug group is provided with a plurality of separated plugs;

[0011] Wherein, the insert group is installed in a slot provided on the cable tray;

[0012] Among them, one or more of the inserting strips in the inserting strip group are bent and inserted into the card slot, and the remaining inserting strips are directly inserted into the card slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the two adjacent groups of cable trays are connected by two groups of connectors.

[0014] Furthermore, the right-angle frame includes a support plate and side plates that are perpendicular to each other, the support plate is used to fit against the bottom wall of the cable tray, and the side plates are used to fit against the side walls of the cable tray.

[0015] Furthermore, a cutting strip group is installed on the side panel.

[0016] Furthermore, a groove is provided at a contact portion between the inserting strip group and the side wall of the slot.

[0017] Furthermore, a reinforcement chamfer is provided at the connection between the support plate and the side plate of the right-angle frame.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0019] A clamping plate, which is mounted on the right-angle frame;

[0020] Wherein, clamping openings are arranged at both ends of the clamping plate, which are respectively plugged into the supporting plates of the two sets of right-angle frames.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: 1. The connection structure is not only compact, but also can be fixed to the cable tray by the right angle frame and the cable tray by the inserting strip group, so the connection is firm and has strong anti-pulling ability. At the same time, the right angle frame can increase the bearing capacity of the cable tray connection.

[0022] 2. The boltless connection technology adopted by the utility model is quick to plug and extremely convenient to install, taking only 20% of the time of bolt connection. On the basis of meeting the bearing capacity of the cable bridge, the bridge can be quickly installed without bolts, which improves the installation efficiency by more than 10 times, and the maintenance cost is low, and the overall service life of the bridge project is long.

[0035] The specific connecting parts structure is as follows:

[0036] The right-angle frame 100 is an L-shaped frame, which is composed of a support plate 110 and a side plate 120. The support plate 110 is a horizontal plate, and the side plate 120 is a vertical plate.

[0037] A plurality of cutting strip groups 200 may be provided on a connector. In the present embodiment, each connector is provided with four cutting strip groups 200. Each cutting strip group 200 is provided with a plurality of cutting strips separated from each other. In the present embodiment, each cutting strip group 200 is provided with three cutting strips, namely, a first cutting strip 210, a second cutting strip 220, and a third cutting strip 230.

[0038] The specific installation structure is as follows:

[0039] First, the right-angle frame 100 and the first cable tray 300 are fitted together, so that the support plate 110 fits the bottom plate of the cable tray 300, and the side plate 120 fits the side wall of the cable tray 300.
