Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable installation structure technology, specifically a connection device for cable trays. Background Technology
[0002] Cable trays are structures used to support and protect cables. They are typically made of metal or plastic and are designed as a series of horizontal and vertical beams forming a grid-like support to secure cables and keep them off the ground. This helps prevent damage or interference to the cables and also facilitates the maintenance and management of the entire electrical system. There are various types of cable trays, including trough type, tray type, ladder type, and mesh type. Cable trays play a vital role in modern buildings and are widely used in office buildings, factories, hospitals, and schools. They not only provide a stable support platform, protecting cables from mechanical damage, moisture, or chemical corrosion, but also effectively manage cable routing, making it neatly arranged and easy to identify.
[0003] Currently, when installing cable trays, a simple connection is made between the two trays using ceiling-mounted rods at the top, leaving a gap between them. While this can improve the stability between the two trays, the bolt installation position is not conducive to the connection setup of the two trays.
