[0035] The load test of ship generators requires the selection of cables of different specifications according to the power and number of generators. During the test, the cables need to be frequently pulled and released and recovered. Currently, the cable retracting devices are generally placed directly on the ground. This method makes the storage of cables messy and cumbersome. At the same time, it is time-consuming and laborious to find cables of specific specifications.

[0036] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a cable storage device, which can achieve orderly storage of cable reels 3 through multiple nested brackets 11, and fix the cable reels 3 using a locking assembly 2, thereby improving the maintenance and management level of cable storage.

[0037] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cable storage device shown in an embodiment of the present application.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 5 , a cable storage device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0040] A bracket assembly 1, comprising a plurality of brackets 11 nested in sequence;

[0041] The lock assembly 2 is symmetrically arranged on the top end surface of the bracket 11, and includes a lock seat 21 and a lock cover 22; wherein the lock seat 21 is connected to the bracket 11, the lock seat 21 is movably connected to the lock cover 22, and the lock seat 21 and the lock cover 22 are surrounded to form a cavity;

[0042] The reel 3 is used for winding the cable, and the axial ends of the reel 3 are placed on the cavity. Specifically, when the ship's generator is subjected to a load test, the engineer selects an appropriate cable according to the power and number of the generator currently being tested. After the current cable is determined, the lock cover 22 is released, and the reel 3 wound with the currently required cable is transferred to the mobile cart by mechanical or manual handling, and pushed to the test site. At this time, the cable can be pulled and released freely. When the load test is completed or cables of other specifications need to be replaced, the cable is recovered into the reel 3, and the reel 3 is stored on any idle bracket 11 in the bracket assembly 1 by the mobile cart. The cable storage device provided in the present application realizes the orderly stacking of the reel 3 through the brackets 11 laid out layer by layer, so as to avoid the reel 3 being randomly stacked in the test site and affecting the experimental safety of the site.

[0043] Furthermore, a plurality of the brackets 11 are nested in sequence in the horizontal direction of the cable storage device, and / or a plurality of the brackets 11 are nested in sequence in the vertical direction of the cable storage device.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 1 A nesting relationship between the various brackets 11 is shown. In this embodiment, the brackets 11 are stacked and nested in layers in a direction perpendicular to the ground, which can effectively utilize the height of the space and reduce the floor space.

[0045] Figure 2 Another nesting relationship between the brackets 11 is shown. In this embodiment, the brackets 11 are nested in a direction perpendicular to the ground and in a horizontal direction. The brackets 11 are nested in a direction perpendicular to the ground and in a horizontal direction. On the one hand, the space utilization of the cable storage device can be improved to ensure the orderly arrangement of the reels 3. On the other hand, the brackets 11 nested in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction have higher stability and firmness.

[0046] Furthermore, the support 11 comprises: a cylindrical frame, and a portion of the reel 3 is accommodated in a receiving space formed by the cylindrical frame;

[0047] A receiving groove 110 is provided on the top end surface of the columnar frame, and a supporting foot 111 is provided on the bottom end surface of the columnar frame. The receiving groove 110 and the bracket 11 are clearance-matched;

[0048] The two sides of the columnar frame have a first end surface and a second end surface;

[0049] A limiting groove (not shown) is provided on the first end face, and a limiting column 112 cooperating with the limiting groove is provided on the second end face. In the vertical direction, the columnar skeleton located in the upper layer nests its own supporting feet 111 in the receiving groove 110 of the columnar skeleton located in the relatively lower layer. In the horizontal direction, the adjacent columnar skeletons can insert the limiting columns 112 into the limiting grooves by pushing and pulling, so as to fix the adjacent columnar skeletons together. Furthermore, holes are provided on both sides of the receiving groove 110, and pins are passed through the holes to improve the firmness of the stacking between the brackets 11. By way of example, the number and size of the receiving grooves 110, supporting feet 111, limiting grooves and limiting columns 112 on the columnar skeleton can be freely set according to actual conditions, and no sole restriction is made here.

[0050] Furthermore, the cable storage device further comprises a base 4, and the base 4 is detachably connected to the bracket 11. In practical applications, the base 4 can improve the firmness and stability of the legs 111 in the bottom bracket 11, and prevent the legs 111 from bending due to stress.

[0051] Furthermore, the bottom of the base 4 is also provided with a plurality of universal wheels 41. The universal wheels 41 can meet the requirement of free movement of the cable storage device, making the device more portable. When the number of brackets 11 in the bracket assembly 1 is small, the device can be directly pushed to the test site through the universal wheels 41, and the cable can be directly pulled out of the bracket 11 without disassembling the reel 3, thereby improving the test efficiency.

[0052] Furthermore, a limiting hole 31 is provided at the end of the reel 3, and a limiting pin 32 is passed through the limiting hole 31. In practical applications, the specifications of the reels 3 wound with cables of different specifications are different. When the cable storage device in this embodiment stores a smaller reel 3, a limiting hole 31 and a limiting pin 32 are provided on the shaft of the reel 3 to limit the reel 3, thereby preventing the reel 3 from shifting and offsetting and falling.

[0053] Furthermore, the locking seat 21 is slidably connected to the cylindrical frame. The winding volume space occupied by the cable with a larger wire diameter is larger, please refer to Figure 5 By sliding the lock seat 21, the lock block 212 slides on the frame of the column frame, thereby adjusting the placement position of the reel 3 to meet the storage requirements.

[0054] Further, the column-shaped frame is a rectangular frame, and at least four legs 111 are connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame;

[0055] The lock seat 21 includes a cylindrical shell 211, both ends of which are open, and the cylindrical shell 211 is inserted into the frame of the rectangular frame. The top of the cylindrical shell 211 is also connected to a lock block 212, and one end of the lock block 212 is hinged to the lock cover 22. Inserting the cylindrical shell 211 into the frame and hingedly connecting the lock cover 22 to the lock block 212 can avoid the loss of parts. In another achievable manner, the cylindrical frame can also be set as a regular polygonal frame or an irregularly shaped frame.

[0056] Furthermore, the cable storage device also includes: a radio frequency tag, an RFID reader / writer, a Wi F i router and an intelligent terminal; wherein the radio frequency tag is installed on the cable, the RFID reader / writer is arranged on the bracket 11, the RFID reader / writer reads the data information of the radio frequency tag, the intelligent terminal is respectively connected to the RFID reader / writer and the Wi F i router, the intelligent terminal is connected to the network and the background server through the Wi F i router, and the intelligent terminal is used to obtain the data information of the cable on the current reel 3 and display the data information on the background server. Each cable is installed with a radio frequency tag. After the reel 3 is wound with the cable and sent to the bracket 11, the RFID reader / writer on the bracket 11 establishes a connection with the radio frequency tag, thereby reading the data information of the cable. When the engineering personnel need a specific cable, the data information of the cable is searched through the background server, and the specific storage location is displayed according to the data information, so as to facilitate the extraction of the reel 3. After the load test is completed, the cable is wound and sent to the bracket 11. The RFID tag on the bracket 11 reads the data information on the radio frequency tag and uploads the data information to the background server for updating information.

[0057] The utility model can effectively improve the space utilization rate of the cable reel 3, and the cable reels 3 are stored in order through a plurality of brackets 11 connected to each other, so that the cables can be conveniently taken out when needed.

[0058] The embodiments of the present application have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other persons of ordinary skill in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
