Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building electrical construction, and in particular to a connection device between a cable tray and a distribution box. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of building electrical construction, there is a large amount of work involved in connecting cable trays to distribution boxes. Furthermore, there are numerous issues with sealing and plugging after the connection, and these shortcomings have persisted for a long time without further improvement. Existing technology has the following drawbacks: 1. Currently, the connection between cable trays and distribution boxes is simply a matter of drilling a hole in the top of the distribution box and inserting the cable tray. Fireproof sealing after the cables inside the cable tray connect to the distribution box switches typically uses fireproof putty or fireproof bags. However, fireproof putty is prone to melting and falling when heated, damaging components inside the distribution box, while fireproof bags suffer from incomplete sealing and excessive cost. 2. According to construction specifications, cable trays must be grounded at both ends. The connection between the cable tray and the distribution box is the tail grounding point. The original grounding method generally involves bridging the cable tray wall and the outside of the distribution box wall, which affects aesthetics. 3. When connecting traditional cable trays to distribution boxes, there is no fixed point or fixing measure for the cables entering the distribution box. 4. When connecting traditional cable trays to distribution boxes, the cables need to be drilled at the top of the distribution box, and there are sharp edges around the drilled holes, which can easily scratch the cables during cable laying, splicing, and maintenance.

[0041] The following is for reference. Figure 1-Figure 5 A connection device between a cable tray and a distribution box is described in detail with reference to a specific embodiment. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a connection device between a cable tray 140 and a distribution box 110 includes a connecting pipe 100, a cable fixing assembly, a grounding wire 190, and an insulating plate 200.
[0043] The connecting pipe 100 is used to mate with the opening on the top of the distribution box 110. The lower opening of the connecting pipe 100 has an outwardly extending reverse edge 120. The reverse edge 120 is located inside the distribution box 110 and is connected to the top surface of the distribution box 110 by a first bolt 130. The side of the connecting pipe 100 is connected to the cable tray 140 by a second bolt 150. The cable fixing assembly includes a flat steel 160 disposed inside the connecting pipe 100 for pressing the cable, a first screw 170 and a second screw 180 for fixing the flat steel 160 to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 100. The grounding wire 190 is disposed outside the connecting pipe 100 and connects the first bolt 130 and the second bolt 150. The insulating plate 200 is disposed in the lower opening of the connecting pipe 100 and has a through hole 290 for accommodating the cable. A hole is drilled in the top of the distribution box 110 according to the dimensions of the cable tray 140. After the cable tray 140 is connected to the distribution box 110, the connecting device is placed from inside the distribution box 110 to the connection point between the top of the distribution box 110 and the cable tray. It is fixed to the distribution box 110 using the first bolt 130 and fixed to the cable tray 140 using the second screw. Then, the incoming cable is connected to the various switching components inside the distribution box 110. The lower opening of the connecting pipe 100 has an outwardly extending reverse edge 120, which prevents the cable from being scratched at the point of entry and exit of the distribution box 110. The cable fixing assembly uses the first screw 170 and the second screw 180 to fix the flat steel 160 to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 100 to press the cable, thus solving the problem of cable fixing at the inlet of the distribution box 110. The grounding wire 190 connects the first bolt 130 and the second bolt 150, extending from inside the distribution box 110 to the grounding copper busbar, effectively grounding the tail of the cable tray 140 and addressing the aesthetic issue of grounding at the tail of the cable tray. An insulating plate 200 seals the connection between the distribution box 110 and the cable tray 140, solving the fireproofing problem at the connection point. Therefore, this solution addresses issues related to cable laying, wiring, and maintenance at the connection point between the cable tray and the distribution box 110, preventing cable scratches and reducing construction costs associated with fireproofing and finishing at the connection point.
[0044] Specifically, if Figure 3As shown, the connecting pipe 100 is a square tube, with four pieces on the reverse side 120, respectively located on the four sides of the lower opening. The square tube design of the connecting pipe 100 facilitates the installation of the flat steel 160 to press the cable tightly against the inner wall of the connecting pipe 100. The four pieces on the reverse side 120 facilitate installation with the distribution box 110 and prevent cable damage. Furthermore, a cable fixing assembly is located on one side of the inner wall of the connecting pipe 100, and a side opening 210 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 100 opposite to the cable fixing assembly. This side opening 210 facilitates the installation of the flat steel 160 to fix the cable to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 100. Additionally, the reverse sides 120 on both sides of the lower opening have first mounting holes 220 for installing first bolts 130. Thus, by providing first mounting holes 220 on the left and right reverse sides 120 and installing first bolts 130, the connecting device can be fixedly installed with the distribution box 110. Furthermore, two second mounting holes 230 are provided on each of the left and right sides of the connecting pipe 100, and the second mounting holes 230 are used to install the second bolts 150. Thus, by providing the second mounting holes 230 on both sides of the connecting pipe 100 and installing the second bolts 150, the connecting device can be fixedly installed to the cable tray 140. It should be noted that a side groove 240 is provided at the lower opening, and the side groove 240 is used to accommodate the insulating plate 200. The side groove 240 facilitates the installation and fixing of the insulating plate 200 at the lower opening.
[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the insulating plate 200 has a third mounting hole 250 near its front side, and the third mounting hole 250 is connected to the distribution box 110 by a third bolt 260. The third mounting hole 250 and the third bolt 260 facilitate the fixed connection between the insulating plate 200 and the distribution box 110 and prevent the insulating plate 200 from moving.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the flat steel 160 has mounting through holes 270 on both its left and right sides, which mate with the first screw 170 and the second screw 180. The flat steel 160 is provided with mounting through holes 270 for mounting with the first screw 170 and the second screw 180.
[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the top of the first screw 170 and the second screw 180 are provided with a wing nut 280. The wing nut 280 is provided to facilitate hand tightening of the flat steel 160 to fix the cable to the inner wall of the connector 100.
[0048] It is worth mentioning that the connecting device is made of galvanized steel sheet. Galvanized steel sheet has high structural strength and is not prone to rust.
[0049] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0050] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
