[0014] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0015] As attached Figure 1-3 The cable tray connection structure described herein includes a connection area 2 at the joint of the bridge 1, and a connecting piece 3 corresponding to the connection area 2, and the two connecting pieces 3 are tightened and matched with bolts 4 and nuts 5 to clamp the joint of the bridge 1; a slide groove is arranged on the connection area 2 and the connecting piece 3, and the slide grooves of the two are relatively orthogonal, and a slider is arranged in the slide groove to slide along the groove, and an assembly hole 7 for the bolt 4 to pass through is arranged in the center of the slider; an elastic piece 8 is provided in the gap between the two sides of the slider and the slide groove, and the elastic pieces 8 on both sides squeeze and limit the slider to the center position of the slide groove.
[0016] This solution clamps the joint of the cable bridge by connecting pieces on both sides, and uses bolts and nuts to lock and connect the two connecting pieces with the cable bridge, thereby achieving the effect of fixing and connecting the two sections of cable bridge. The mounting holes for the bolts on the connecting piece and the cable bridge are set as strip-shaped slides, and sliders are used as matching media. By sleeves of corresponding multiple sliders on the same bolt and locking them with nuts, a complete connecting shaft is formed. The connecting shaft is slidably matched with multiple corresponding slides at the same time, and the corresponding sliders are elastically limited to the center position of the slides by elastic pieces. When the connection is subjected to external force vibration in any direction, so that there is a relative movement trend between the connecting piece and the cable bridge, the movement trend can be decomposed into two slide direction movements, and the elastic pieces in each slide are used to offset them, achieving the effect of shock absorption, thereby reducing the mutual displacement amplitude between the connection surfaces, thereby reducing the wear, avoiding the problem of loose connection caused by the increase of gap due to excessive wear, and effectively extending the service life of the connection structure.
[0017] The sliding groove on the connecting plate 33 is the first sliding groove 31, and the slider in the first sliding groove 31 is the first slider 32. The groove direction of the first sliding groove 31 is set along the direction of the cable tray 1 splicing and approaching. The sliding groove in the connecting area 2 is the second sliding groove 21, and the slider in the second sliding groove 21 is the second slider 22. The groove direction of the second sliding groove 21 is set perpendicular to the groove direction of the first sliding groove 31. This can meet the requirements of external force decomposition and shock absorption when two connected cable tray sections have a tendency to move away from or towards each other, and when the splicing surfaces have a tendency to move relative to each other.
[0018] The connector 3 includes a connecting plate 33, with an elastic pad 6 sandwiched between the connecting plate 33 and the bridge 1. When the elastic member is used for shock absorption, the slider in the slide groove will produce a certain displacement along the groove toward either end, thereby inevitably causing a certain relative misalignment and translation between the bridge and the connecting plate. By adding the elastic pad, the static friction between the elastic pad and the metal surface after being squeezed is greater than the static friction when the metal surface is in direct contact. Therefore, the sliding friction generated by the relative displacement movement is converted into internal elastic deformation of the elastic pad, thereby reducing wear on the surface of the metal structure. Moreover, due to the shock absorption effect of the elastic member, the relative displacement is small, and the stress and torsion loss on the elastic pad is also small, effectively ensuring the service life of the connection structure.
[0019] The elastic pad 6 and the elastic member 8 are integrally formed, enhancing the overall strength of the elastic shock-absorbing portion. By integrally forming the elastic member from the same material, the shock-absorbing effect of the elastic member is transferred to the elastic pad, resulting in a more effective shock absorption effect. The entire structure can be made of highly wear-resistant rubber or other composite elastic and wear-resistant materials, further extending the service life of the connection structure.
[0020] The slider includes a sliding portion in the middle that cooperates with the chute, with limiting portions provided on either side of the sliding portion. The limiting portions are arranged to fit in the end faces of the notches on either side of the chute, and the elastic pad 6 is provided with limiting holes adapted to fit in the limiting portions. The limiting portions on either side can be configured as disc structures, so that the mating surfaces between them and the elastic pads are smooth cylindrical surfaces. The limiting portions are wrapped around the limiting holes, and the elastic pads achieve omnidirectional elastic limiting of the two mutually engaged sliders in the circumferential direction, thereby further achieving an all-round shock absorption effect. The limiting portions also constrain the relative motion between the slider and the chute, ensuring that the slider slides only along the groove direction, preventing the slider from shaking relative to the ends of the chute, and ensuring the stability of the connection.
[0021] The positions of the slide grooves on the two bridge frames 1 spliced together are symmetrically arranged about the splicing seam, which is conducive to producing a relatively symmetrical shock-absorbing effect to offset external forces. The multiple slide groove positions on the bridge frame 1 on one side are arranged in a triangular pattern, and the stability of the triangular distribution is used to resist the relative torsional force between the cable bridge and the connecting plate.
[0022] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
