Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ship cable laying, and in particular relates to a flexible cable vibration reduction device for ships. Background Art

[0002] Ships use power cables as an important part of their power transmission and distribution systems. These cables are used to transmit electricity from the generator room to various ship systems, equipment, and devices to meet the power supply needs of various electrical equipment on board. The specifications, cross-sectional area, and material selection of ship cables will also vary depending on the specific ship type, power requirements, and electrical system design. Ship cables are generally composed of multi-core cables, each of which is used to transmit different power or signals. These cables are usually composed of copper conductors, insulation layers, sheaths, and outer sheaths to meet the requirements of ship electrical systems. Chinese patent CN102679041A discloses an integral convex drawn and stamped cable hook bracket for ships and marine engineering, including a hook as the main body to carry the cable, a locking plate for fixing the cable, and a fixed support foot for the cable hook installation. The hook bracket, the fixed locking plate, and the fixed support foot are all made using an integral convex drawn and stamped process, and are fixed by hooking and plugging bolts together, without the need for welding to form a whole. The present invention changes the traditional manufacturing process, changing the original steel plate thickness of 3.0mm to 4.0mm to 2.0mm thick steel plate, which not only improves the safe load capacity, but also reduces the weight of a single product by more than 25%. It has the advantages of lightweight structure, beautiful appearance, strong load-bearing capacity, strong corrosion resistance, easy installation, easy replacement, and low price. It is particularly suitable for use on ships and marine engineering. The cable tightening hook bracket disclosed in the above-mentioned document has poor shock absorption effect and limited cable laying capacity. Chinese patent CN219371922U discloses a cable elastic support. The cable elastic support includes a U-shaped tightening hook cable bracket, an elastic vibration damper, a mounting foot and a fixing bolt. The U-shaped tightening hook cable bracket is fixedly connected to the elastic vibration damper by a locking bolt. One end of the mounting foot is fixedly connected to the elastic vibration damper by a fixing bolt, and the other end is welded to the bulkhead. The support is used for laying cables on underwater submersibles and is used to fix cables connected to vibration sources such as engines and generators. While the aforementioned technical solution somewhat addressed the noise issue caused by the vibration source's frequency being transmitted to the submersible's outer wall via the cable, experimental verification revealed that its vibration and noise reduction effects were suboptimal, and its structural stability and ease of maintenance fell short of expectations. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a flexible cable vibration reduction device for ships with a simple structure, easy maintenance, high stability, adjustable vibration reduction stiffness, ideal shock absorption and noise reduction effect, large cable laying capacity, and a limit protection function.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is achieved as follows:

[0005] A flexible cable vibration reduction device for ships, comprising an upper plate, a vibration reduction mechanism and a welding foot; the top of the vibration reduction mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper plate; the welding foot is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vibration reduction mechanism; the vibration reduction mechanism comprises a cylindrical rubber ring and a U-shaped piece assembly; the U-shaped piece assembly is placed in the cavity of the cylindrical rubber ring; the U-shaped piece assembly comprises an upper U-shaped piece and a lower U-shaped piece; the upper U-shaped piece and the lower U-shaped piece are spaced a certain distance apart and are nested; the upper U-shaped piece is fixedly connected to the upper plate via a countersunk screw through a cylindrical rubber ring; the lower U-shaped piece is fixedly connected to the welding foot via a bolt through a cylindrical rubber ring.

[0006] Furthermore, the utility model has binding holes for cable binding on both sides of the upper plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the shock absorbing mechanism of the present invention comprises two sets, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the bottom of the upper plate.

[0008] The utility model has a simple structure, easy maintenance, high stability, adjustable vibration damping stiffness, ideal vibration damping and noise reduction effect, and an overload protection function. When the cylindrical rubber ring is subjected to extreme loads due to excessive deformation in three directions, the nested U-shaped pieces will play a protective role to prevent the rubber from being damaged due to excessive deformation. The vibration damping stiffness of the utility model can be achieved by adjusting the overall width of the rubber to adapt to various load-bearing weights, and the operation is convenient. Under the condition of the same cable laying amount, the utility model has better vibration damping and noise reduction effects. This ship-use flexible cable vibration damping device mode is suitable for scenarios with a large amount of cable laying. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
