Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable bridges, in particular to a bent cable bridge for nuclear power. Background Art

[0002] In high-demand power facilities such as nuclear power plants, cable trays play a vital role as cable support and protection devices. Cable trays are used not only for laying power cables, but also for laying weak-current cables such as control cables and communication cables. The design of the cable tray needs to take into account load-bearing capacity, structural stability, corrosion resistance, and seismic performance to ensure the long-term and reliable operation of the cable system. Nuclear power plants have a special environment, and their equipment not only has to face high-intensity mechanical stress, but also needs to withstand potential threats such as radiation, corrosion, and fire. In actual applications, due to the complex equipment layout of nuclear power plants, cables need to be laid through curved paths, making the design of curved cable trays particularly critical.

[0003] In the design of traditional curved cable bridges, the bridge cover (cover plate) and the bridge seat (base) are fixed together with bolts. This design ensures the integrity and sealing of the bridge structure and protects the cables from external environmental influences. However, this fixing method is cumbersome during installation and maintenance, especially when the bridge cover needs to be frequently opened or closed to inspect or adjust the cables. The bolts must be removed one by one, which increases the complexity and time cost of the operation. In addition, some cable bridges in nuclear power plants need to be installed at high altitudes or in high locations such as walls and ceilings. In this case, it is more difficult for workers to use bolt fixing devices when working at high altitudes, which not only increases the complexity of installation but also increases safety risks.

[0024] Example

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a curved cable tray for nuclear power plants, comprising a cable tray body 100 and a clamping mechanism 200. The cable tray body 100 comprises a base 101 and a cover 102, which is secured to the top of the base 101 via the clamping mechanism 200. The base 101 has an internal mounting groove 101a. When the cover 102 is opened, workers can conveniently install cables into the groove 101a and then close the cover 102 to complete cable installation. This structural design simplifies the cable installation process and improves operational efficiency, making it particularly suitable for demanding working environments such as nuclear power plants.

[0026] Specifically, the snap-in mechanism 200 includes a mounting plate 201 fixedly mounted on the outside of the base 101, and its main function is to provide a fixed base for the snap-in system. Slots 201a are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the mounting plate 201. The slots 201a are used to accommodate the plug-in plates 206 so that the cover plate 102 and the base 101 can be accurately docked. A movable groove 201b is provided on the inner side of each slot 201a. The movable groove 201b provides space for the movement of the card plate 202, ensuring that the card plate can move flexibly to achieve the snap-in and unlocking functions. A cavity 201c is provided between the two movable grooves 201b. The cavity 201c is used to accommodate and protect other components in the snap-in structure, while providing sufficient space for the operation of the drive device.

[0027] A card plate 202 is provided inside the slot 201a, and the card plate 202 realizes the locking and unlocking functions by moving. The opposing surfaces of the two card plates 202 pass through the inner walls of the two slots 201a respectively, and extend into the movable groove 201b, and are fixedly connected to the movable plate 203. A movable block 204 is installed at the bottom end of the movable plate 203. The movable block 204 realizes the extension and contraction of the card plate by driving the movement of the card plate 202, thereby controlling the fixing and release of the cover. A driving assembly 205 is provided between the two movable blocks 204, whose function is to drive the movable block and the card plate through external operation (such as a knob or other control device) to realize the locking or release of the cover.

[0028] In addition, the latching mechanism 200 also includes insert plates 206 fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the bottom end of the cover 102. The insert plates 206 engage with slots in the mounting plate to ensure precise alignment between the cover and the base. Each insert plate 206 has a slot 206a formed within it to accommodate the latch plate 202, thereby firmly securing the cover. The bottom end of the insert plate 206 engages with the slot 201a, and the latching end of the latch plate 202 engages with the slots 206a, ensuring that the cover is securely attached to the base when closed.

[0029] Furthermore, the core function of drive assembly 205 is to control the opening and closing of the latching mechanism through rotation. It includes a knob 205a mounted on the outside of the bottom end of mounting plate 201, providing an operator interface for manual control. The top of knob 205a is fixedly connected via a shaft 205b, which extends through the bottom wall of mounting plate 201 and into cavity 201c. Shaft 205b transmits the knob's rotational motion to the internal gear system.

[0030] The rotating shaft 205b is fixedly connected to the driving conical teeth 205c within the cavity 201c. The driving conical teeth 205c convert the rotating shaft's rotational motion into a transverse gear drive. Both its left and right sides mesh with driven conical teeth 205d, which further transmit the driving conical teeth' rotational motion to the rotating rod 205e. Each driven conical tooth 205d is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 205e on the opposite side of the driven conical teeth 205d. The rotating rod 205e drives the threaded rod 205f through rotation.

[0031] Threaded rods 205f function to control linear motion, with their other ends extending into respective movable slots 201b. Because the outer surfaces of threaded rods 205f are threaded in the same direction, movable block 204 is threadedly connected to the outer surfaces of threaded rods 205f. Rotating the threaded rods allows movable block 204 to move back and forth within movable slots 201b, thereby pushing or retracting retaining plate 202 and engaging or releasing cover plate 102.

[0032] To facilitate installation, the base 101 is provided with a first opening 101b at the front and a second opening 101c at the rear left side. These two openings serve as cable entry and exit, allowing cables to pass smoothly through the bridge. Two sets of snap-fit mechanisms 200 are provided, located at the first opening 101b and the second opening 101c, respectively. This ensures the stability and symmetry of the entire bridge, facilitating cable installation and securement.

[0033] The working principle is as follows: when it is necessary to install or repair the cable, the staff first rotates the knob 205a clockwise, and the knob 205a can drive the active conical gear 205c to rotate through the rotating shaft 205b, and the active conical gear 205c can drive the driven conical gears 205d on both sides to rotate in the opposite direction, and the two driven conical gears 205d can drive the two threaded rods 205f to rotate in the opposite direction through the two rotating rods 205e, and the two threaded rods 205f can drive the two moving blocks 204 to move horizontally toward each other, and the two moving blocks 204 can drive the two groups of card plates 202 to move into the moving groove 201b through the two moving plates 203. When the clamping ends of the two groups of card plates 202 move out of the clamping slot 206a, the limit fixation of the plug plate 206 is released, so that the staff The cover 102 and the base 101 can be removed. At this time, the staff can install the cable into the installation slot 101a or inspect the cable in the installation slot 101a. After the installation or inspection is completed, the staff aligns and inserts the plug plate 206 at the bottom end of the cover 102 into the slot 201a, and then rotates the knob 205a in the opposite direction. With the cooperation of the overall parts of the drive assembly 205, the two moving blocks 204 and the moving plate 203 can drive the two groups of card plates 202 to move horizontally in opposite directions. The carding ends of the two groups of card plates 202 can be reinserted into the slot 201a and inserted into the card slot 206a of the plug plate 206, completing the limit fixation of the plug plate 206, and realizing the installation of the cover 102 and the base 101.
