[0033] Example 1

[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the flat cable bracket according to the present invention. Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the flat cable bracket according to the present invention. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the flat cable trough bracket according to the present invention. Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the track slot structure according to this utility model is shown below. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the flat cable bracket 1 of this utility model includes a T-shaped body 11 (with a T-shaped cross-section). The T-shaped body 11 has a horizontal protruding end 12 and a vertical end 13. Two sets of upper and lower latches 14 are provided on the left side of the vertical end 13. The upper and lower latches 14 are horizontal barbs that are opposite to each other. The ends of the barbs have a certain curvature to facilitate insertion into the corresponding slots, thereby hanging the flat cable bracket 1 in the middle slot 21 of the track slot 2 via the latches 14, and fixing it together with the track slot 2. Figure 3 As shown.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal protruding end 12 and the vertical end 13 of the flat cable bracket 1 have spaces for placing flat cables.

[0036] In one embodiment, a plurality of first cuts 15 are spaced apart on the horizontal protruding end 12, and a second cut 17 is provided at the end of the horizontal protruding end 12 to facilitate the arrangement of flat cables.

[0037] In one embodiment, the flat cable bracket 1 has one or more sets of support parts 16 inside the horizontal protrusion 12 and the vertical end 13. The spacing between the multiple sets of support parts 16 can be set according to actual needs. While providing support, they can also be used to partition and form multiple cable accommodating channels.

[0038] In one embodiment, the flat cable bracket 1 is a plastic bracket that is lightweight and has a certain degree of elasticity.

[0039] In another embodiment, multiple sets of latches 14 are evenly spaced longitudinally on the left side of the vertical end 13. Each set of latches 14 includes two opposite barbs, which can also enable the flat cable bracket 1 to be hung in the middle slot 21 of the track slot 2 through the latches 14.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the track slot 2 is approximately a horizontal U-shaped structure, with an intermediate slot 21 on its vertical inner wall that mates with the latch 14. The track slot 2 also includes a base 22, and the bottom of the base 22 has an L-shaped support structure 23.

[0041] In this embodiment, the spacing between the upper and lower sets of latches 14 should correspond to the width of the middle latch 21 of the track latch 2, so that the two can be connected in an interference fit (interference fit connection), thereby fixing the flat cable bracket 1 and the track latch 2 together.

[0042] The flat cable tray support structure provided in this embodiment is a T-shaped structure with a horizontal protruding end and a vertical end. Multiple sets of latches that cooperate with and are fixed to the track slot are provided on the left side of its vertical end, which facilitates the installation of the flat cable tray on the track slot and realizes convenient assembly and disassembly of the flat cable tray.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The flat cable bracket 1 is made of plastic or other materials with low strength. When assembling it with the track slot 2, directly striking it with a hammer can easily damage the bracket. To solve this problem, this embodiment of the invention also provides an installation tool for the aforementioned flat cable tray bracket structure.

[0045] Figure 5 Based on the three-dimensional schematic diagram of the installation tool of this utility model, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the installation tool 3 of this utility model is a U-shaped groove structure with one open end. The U-shaped groove 31 is used to insert the horizontal protruding end 12 of the flat cable bracket 1. The ends of the two sides of the opening of the U-shaped groove 31 are flush and can reach the vertical end 13 of the flat cable bracket 1, thereby effectively increasing the contact area between the installation tool 3 and the flat cable bracket 1. When in use, the bottom of the installation tool 3 is hammered. During the hammering process, the force can be effectively and evenly transmitted, so that the force is transmitted from the installation tool 3 to the flat cable bracket 1, thereby hammering the latch 14 of the flat cable bracket 1 into the middle slot 21 of the track slot 2.

[0046] In the embodiments of this utility model, the following should be noted when using the installation tool 3 to install the flat cable bracket 1:

[0047] 1) Before installation, check whether the new flat cable bracket 1 is straight. If it is bent or deformed, use an undeformed flat cable bracket 1.

[0048] 2) Align the latch 14 of the flat cable bracket 1 to be installed with the middle slot 21 of the track slot 2;

[0049] 3) Insert the horizontal protruding end 12 of the flat cable bracket 1 to be installed into the U-shaped groove 31 of the installation tool 3;

[0050] 4) Hammer the end of the installation tool 3 to transfer the force to the flat cable bracket 1, thereby hammering the latch 14 of the flat cable bracket 1 into the track slot 2.

[0051] 5) The hammering installation process should start from one end of the flat cable bracket 1 and gradually hammer all the latches 14 of the flat cable bracket 1 into the track slots 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the installation tool 3 is an integral structure with a groove at one end of a rectangular nylon block for inserting a flat cable bracket. Its compact structure makes it easy to operate. Through the U-shaped groove design, when using the installation tool 3, the horizontal protruding end 12 of the flat cable bracket 1 can extend into the U-shaped groove, and the open end of the U-shaped groove can reach the vertical end 13 of the flat cable bracket 1. This effectively increases the contact area between the installation tool 3 and the flat cable bracket 1, allowing for effective and even force transmission during hammering, and significantly reducing the damage rate of the flat cable bracket 1 during installation.

[0053] According to this embodiment, the installation tool 3 has the following advantages:

[0054] The integrated structure avoids the shortcomings of misfitting and poor stability of split structures.

[0055] Made of nylon material with a lightweight design, it effectively reduces the weight of the installation tool 3 and the relative strength between the installation tool 3 and the flat cable bracket 1, thus preventing damage to the flat cable bracket 1 during hammering.

[0056] The U-shaped groove design increases the contact area between the tool and the flat cable support, effectively and evenly transferring force during hammering and preventing damage to the flat cable support during the hammering process.

[0057] It is not difficult to understand that in another embodiment of this utility model, the installation tool 3 can also be assembled into a U-shaped groove through a split structure, thereby achieving the invention objective of this utility model.

[0058] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
