Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of optical cable fixing equipment, specifically to a protective fastening device for laying optical cables on track slabs. Background Technology

[0002] When laying cables or other wires on ballastless or ballasted tracks (also known as trackbeds or track slabs) in the railway or rail transit sector, to prevent cables from lifting or detaching from the ground and causing damage or affecting train safety when trains pass, simple saddle clamps are generally fixed on the track slab to limit the position of the cables. Although these clamps can limit the swing distance of the cables to a certain extent, there is always a certain amount of slack between them and the cables. The vibration of trains passing by will cause the cables to vibrate or slip due to this slack. This will not only cause the saddle clamps to loosen, but also cause the cables to wear out quickly, which is detrimental to improving train operation safety. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the protective cover stably covers the cable surface, preventing drastic airflow changes inside when a train passes. This fundamentally reduces cable vibration caused by airflow, lowers the working pressure on the limiting device, and enhances its limiting effect on the cable.

[0023] Meanwhile, the fastening assembly locks the connector vertically, and then applies a locking force to the optical cable fixing clip and the cable fixing clip vertically through the connector. Therefore, from the perspective of the force direction, there is no component force along the cable axis, which ensures that the maximum force can be applied to the cable, improves the limiting effect on the cable and optical cable, and prevents them from loosening due to vibration when the train passes. This achieves stable clamping and fastening of various cables and reduces cable wear. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Implementation Method 1

[0038] This embodiment, as a basic implementation of the present invention, discloses a protective fastening device for laying optical cables on track slabs, the specific structure of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 4As shown, the system includes several protective covers 1 and several turning connecting covers 3. The protective covers 1 have a U-shaped cross-section, appearing as a straight line when viewed from above. The turning protective covers 1 also have a U-shaped cross-section, appearing as a fan-shaped structure when viewed from above, with the central angle of the fan determined according to actual needs. During installation, all protective covers 1 are placed along the straight cable laying section, while the turning protective covers 1 are placed along the cable turning section. The protective fastening device also includes connectors 2, which are... Placed in the straight cable laying section, limit grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the connector 2 along the cable laying direction. During installation, the protective covers 1 on both sides of the connector 2 are inserted into the limit grooves 5. The end face of the protective cover 1 abuts against the end face of the limit groove 5 to achieve axial limitation. At the same time, the outer wall of the protective cover 1 and the inner wall of the limit groove 5 fit together and are fixed by friction, which improves the stability of the whole structure. Moreover, the above-mentioned structure is simple, and the operator can achieve stable connection of each protective cover 1 by simple plug-in. The operation is simple.

[0039] The inner wall size of the steering guard 1 is slightly larger than the outer size of the guard 1, so as to ensure that one end of the guard 1 can be smoothly inserted into the steering guard 1 during installation. At the same time, the outer wall of the guard 1 will fit against the inner wall of the steering guard 1 after insertion, thereby achieving a stable connection between the steering guard 1 and the guard 1, and improving the stability and reliability of the connection of the whole device.

[0040] Along the direction perpendicular to the cable laying, connecting lugs 14 are provided on both sides of the connector 2 and the steering guard 1. The connecting lugs 14 are provided with mounting holes 15. The protective fastening device also includes a fastening component 4, which includes a chemical anchor 41. During installation, one end of the chemical anchor 41 is pre-embedded in the track plate where the installation position is located, and the other end passes through the mounting hole 15. A flat washer 42, a spring washer 43, an anti-theft nut 44, and an anti-loosening nut are also fitted on this end. The anti-loosening nut can effectively improve the stability of the connection and prevent the connection from loosening due to vibration when the train passes. At the same time, the anti-theft nut 44 requires a special bolt to open, which can not only further improve the stability of the connection, but also effectively improve the anti-theft function and improve the security of the cable.

[0041] The connector 2 has an inverted U-shaped structure and a mounting groove. A support block is integrally connected to the middle of the mounting groove, thereby dividing the mounting groove into two symmetrical cable mounting grooves 7. The optical cable mounting groove 6 is located at the bottom of the support block. At the same time, multiple cable mounting grooves 7 can be divided into the mounting groove as needed. The support block forms an effective structural support in the middle of the limiting groove 5, preventing the structural strength of the middle part of the limiting groove 5 from decreasing due to excessive span, and improving the stability and reliability of the fixing plate.

[0042] The optical cable mounting groove 6 is provided with an optical cable fixing clip 8. An engaging assembly is provided between the optical cable mounting groove 6 and the optical cable fixing clip 8. The engaging assembly includes a limiting slide groove 12 and a limiting slide bar 13. Both the limiting slide groove 12 and the limiting slide bar 13 are arranged in the vertical direction. If the limiting slide bars 13 are provided on both sides of the optical cable fixing clip 8, then the limiting slide groove 12 is provided on both inner walls of the optical cable mounting groove 6. During installation, the limiting slide bar 13 on the optical cable fixing clip 8 is inserted into the limiting slide groove 12 from the vertical opening end of the fixing plate. At this time, the optical cable fixing clip 8 is simultaneously inserted into the optical cable mounting groove 6. The assembly of the two is completed by pushing the optical cable fixing clip 8 completely into the optical cable mounting groove 6. The cross-section of the limiting slide groove 12 and the limiting slide bar 13 can be T-shaped or dovetail-shaped.

[0043] In the axial direction of the cable laying, the limiting groove 12 and the limiting strip 13 abut against each other, thereby achieving limiting in the axial direction, preventing the optical cable fixing clip 8 from sliding when the cable slides axially, and improving the structural stability of the whole set of equipment.

[0044] Meanwhile, this utility model can quickly install and remove the optical cable fixing clip 8 by insertion. After installation, the open end of the fixing plate is sealed by the track plate, thereby realizing the 6-degree-of-freedom limitation of the optical cable fixing clip 8 and greatly improving the stability of the optical cable fixing clip 8.

[0045] The optical cable fixing clip 8 is also provided with an optical cable buffer clamping assembly 10. The optical cable buffer clamping assembly 10 includes a second top buffer pad 101 and a set of two second side wall buffer pads 102. The first top buffer pad 101 is disposed on the top inner wall of the optical cable fixing clip 8, and the second side wall buffer pads 102 are symmetrically disposed on the inner walls of the two sides of the optical cable fixing clip 8. Thus, the second top buffer pad 101 and the second side wall buffer pads 102 form an optical cable clamping groove for fixing the optical cable. When optical cables of different diameters are inserted into the optical cable clamping groove, they will cause different degrees of compression to the second top buffer pad 101 and the second side wall buffer pad 102. The above-mentioned buffer components will produce corresponding elastic relief, thereby maintaining a stable compression fixing force while adapting to different optical cables, and realizing the fixing of the optical cable.

[0046] One cable fixing clip 9 or multiple cable fixing clips 9 can be installed in the cable installation groove 7. When one cable fixing clip 9 is installed, the connection and assembly method between the cable fixing clip 9 and the cable installation groove 7 is the same as the connection and assembly method between the optical cable fixing clip 8 and the optical cable installation groove 6.

[0047] If multiple cable fixing clips 9 are provided, limit grooves 12 and limit strips 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the cable fixing clip 9. Limit grooves 12 and limit strips 13 are respectively provided on the two inner side walls of the cable mounting groove 7. Adjacent cable fixing clips 9 are connected by limit grooves 12 and limit strips 13. Cable fixing clips 9 and cable mounting groove 7 are connected by limit grooves 12 and limit strips 13. At the same time, the assembly method of the cable fixing clips 9 is the same as the assembly method of the optical cable fixing clips 8. As needed, the cross-section of the limit grooves 12 and limit strips 13 is T-shaped or dovetail-shaped.

[0048] The inner wall of the cable fixing clip 9 is also provided with a cable buffer clamping assembly 11. The cable buffer clamping assembly 11 includes a top buffer pad 111 and a set of two side wall buffer pads 112. The top buffer pad 111 is disposed on the top inner wall of the cable fixing clip 9, and the side wall buffer pads 112 are symmetrically disposed on the inner walls of the two sides of the cable fixing clip 9. The top buffer pad 111 and the side wall buffer pads 112 together form a cable clamping groove for fixing the cable.

[0049] The sidewall buffer pad 112 includes a first connecting piece 113 and a second connecting piece 114. One end of the first connecting piece 113 and the second connecting piece 114 are smoothly connected to each other in a U-shape by an arc-shaped buffer piece 115. The other ends of the first connecting piece 113 and the second connecting piece 114 are integrally connected to the sidewall of the connecting housing. At the same time, in order to optimize the stress structure of the sidewall buffer pad 112, the first connecting piece 113 and the second connecting piece 114 are parallel to each other and inclined towards the top buffer pad 111.

[0050] The biggest difference between the above structure and the traditional buffer pad is that the entire buffer pad box is set at an angle, so its highest point will be in a free state. Since it is not constrained, this type of buffer pad has a greater rebound. On the one hand, it can further adapt to cables with larger diameters and expand the application range of the equipment. On the other hand, the cable extrusion force it receives will also be an inclined force, so it will be decomposed into vertical and horizontal separation, realizing the decomposition of the force and helping to improve the equipment's adaptability to extrusion force.

[0051] Meanwhile, in order to improve the corrosion resistance of the entire equipment and the cable fastening ability, the connector 2 is made of SMC composite material, and the cable fixing clip 9 and the optical cable fixing clip 8 are both made of nylon material. Specifically, the nylon material can be PA6, PA66 or PA12.
