Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tray technology, specifically an adjustable carbon steel cable tray for ships. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of a ship's electrical system, the cable tray plays a crucial role. It not only carries cables but also ensures their neat arrangement, preventing haphazard hanging and thus providing strong protection for the safe operation of cable lines. A search revealed Chinese patent CN219123879U, which discloses a hot-dip galvanized cable tray for ships, comprising an adjusting plate, a hot-dip galvanized cable tray body, and a fixing mechanism. The hot-dip galvanized cable tray body is equidistantly arranged on one side of the adjusting plate; the fixing mechanism includes a mounting plate, and a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the hot-dip galvanized cable tray body near the adjusting plate. The above technical solution solves the problem that existing ship cable trays are often made of metal supports and usually use cable ties to fix the cables. However, it is difficult to ensure that each cable tie is tightened with the same force during manual operation. When using cable ties to fix the cables, the cables are easily damaged. At the same time, when it is necessary to inspect the cables, the cable ties are too tight and it is not easy to loosen them. Workers need to use cutting tools to cut off the cable ties, which increases the intensity and time of cable inspection.

[0003] The aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: It requires rotating a threaded rod to move the mounting plate downwards to clamp the cable. However, due to differences in cable thickness, thinner cables may not be clamped securely enough when the mounting plate clamps downwards. This can cause the cable to collide with the device during ship rocking, leading to damage. Furthermore, the corrosive air on ships during prolonged use and significant shaking can cause the threaded rod to strip, affecting the clamping force and causing the cable to loosen. Operators need to regularly check the cable's fixation, but with numerous cable fixing points, the workload for operators is heavy, and it is difficult to promptly detect detached cables, hindering maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable carbon steel cable tray for ships, so as to solve the technical problems of insecure clamping caused by differences in cable thickness, slippage of the thread rod affecting clamping force due to ship swaying and corrosive environment, and large maintenance workload and difficulty in timely detection of detached cables.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable carbon steel cable tray for ships, comprising a main body, a fixing block disposed inside the main body, a V-shaped seat fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block, a lower clamping plate disposed on the top of the V-shaped seat, a first threaded rod disposed on the side of the lower clamping plate away from the main body, a guide rod disposed on the side of the lower clamping plate close to the main body, a movable plate disposed on the first threaded rod, a second threaded rod disposed on one side of the movable plate, a second knob disposed on the top of the second threaded rod, a third threaded rod disposed on the other side of the movable plate, a third knob disposed on the top of the third threaded rod, an upper clamping plate disposed at the bottom of the second and third threaded rods, a vibration sensor disposed on the outer surface of the V-shaped seat, and a warning light disposed on one side of the vibration sensor.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the first threaded rod can drive the movable plate to move up and down by rotating, thereby adjusting the distance between the lower clamping plate and the upper clamping plate.

[0007] Furthermore, three V-shaped seats are provided, and vibration sensors and warning lights are provided on the outer surfaces of the three V-shaped seats.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution and installing vibration sensors on all three V-shaped seats, it is possible to achieve all-round and multi-angle monitoring of the cable.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower clamping plate is provided in three sets, with three lower clamping plates in each set, and the three lower clamping plates are arranged in a linear array at equal intervals.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the three lower clamps are arranged in a linear array at equal intervals, so that the pressure on the cable can be more evenly distributed on the entire bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, rubber pads are provided inside both the lower clamping plate and the upper clamping plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber pad has good elasticity and softness, and can provide a buffer layer for the cable when the lower and upper clamps clamp the cable.

[0013] Furthermore, a first knob is provided at the top of the first threaded rod, and a limit block is provided at the top of the guide rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a first knob is provided at the top of the first threaded rod, which allows the operator to drive the first threaded rod to rotate by manually rotating the first knob.

[0015] Furthermore, the vibration sensor is model GA-223.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the GA-223 vibration sensor has the characteristics of high sensitivity and high precision, which improves the monitoring accuracy of cable condition.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0018] 1. This utility model, by setting a second threaded rod and a third threaded rod, enables the upper clamping plate to be finely adjusted according to cables of different diameters, improving the adaptability of the bracket to cables. Whether it is a thin communication line or a thick power cable, it can be firmly clamped, avoiding the problem of unstable clamping or cable damage caused by mismatch in cable diameter. By rotating the second knob and the third knob to adjust the threaded rod, a uniform clamping force on the cable can be achieved, ensuring the stability of the cable during ship navigation and reducing the risk of cable loosening or falling off due to vibration or external impact.

[0019] 2. This utility model, by setting up a vibration sensor and a warning light, enables the vibration sensor to monitor the vibration of cables and brackets in real time, promptly detecting abnormal vibrations and providing a powerful monitoring means for the safe operation of the ship. When the vibration sensor detects abnormal vibration, it will immediately trigger the warning light to illuminate via an electrical signal and simultaneously send an alarm message to the external control console. This timely warning mechanism can quickly attract the attention of crew and operators, facilitating them to take timely measures for inspection or handling, thus avoiding potential safety hazards. The illumination of the warning light not only reminds crew and operators to pay attention to the condition of the cables and carry out targeted inspections, but also serves to warn passersby.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] An adjustable carbon steel cable tray for ships, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a main body 1, inside which is a fixing block 2. A V-shaped seat 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block 2. A lower clamping plate 9 is provided on the top of the V-shaped seat 3. A first threaded rod 7 is provided on the side of the lower clamping plate 9 away from the main body 1. A guide rod 4 is provided on the side of the lower clamping plate 9 close to the main body 1. A movable plate 6 is provided on the first threaded rod 7. A second threaded rod 11 is provided on one side of the movable plate 6. A second knob 12 is provided on the top of the second threaded rod 11. A third threaded rod 13 is provided on the other side of the movable plate 6. A third knob 14 is provided at the top of rod 13, and an upper clamping plate 10 is provided at the bottom of the second threaded rod 11 and the third threaded rod 13. A vibration sensor 15 is provided on the outer surface of the V-shaped seat 3, and a warning light 16 is provided on one side of the vibration sensor 15. The first threaded rod 7 can drive the movable plate 6 to move up and down by rotating, thereby adjusting the distance between the lower clamping plate 9 and the upper clamping plate 10. The V-shaped seat 3 allows the cable to be placed stably on the bracket, and its V-shaped structure can well adapt to the circular characteristics of the cable and provide uniform support force.

[0027] See Figure 2 There are three V-shaped brackets 3. Each of the three V-shaped brackets 3 is equipped with a vibration sensor 15 and a warning light 16 on its outer surface. By installing vibration sensors 15 on each of the three V-shaped brackets 3, it is possible to monitor the cable from all directions and multiple angles. Since each V-shaped bracket 3 is equipped with a warning light 16, the crew can quickly locate the fault point and carry out targeted troubleshooting and handling, thereby shortening the fault handling time and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0028] See Figure 1 The lower clamp 9 is provided in three sets, with three lower clamps 9 in each set. The three lower clamps 9 are arranged in a linear array at equal intervals, which makes the pressure on the cable more evenly distributed on the entire bracket. The multiple sets and multiple lower clamps 9 make the bracket more flexible to adapt to cables of different diameters and specifications.

[0029] See Figure 1 Both the lower clamping plate 9 and the upper clamping plate 10 are equipped with rubber pads 17. The rubber pads 17 have good elasticity and softness, and can provide a buffer layer for the cable when the lower clamping plate 9 and the upper clamping plate 10 clamp the cable. The presence of the rubber pads 17 increases the contact area and friction between the cable and the clamping plate.

[0030] See Figure 1 The first threaded rod 7 is provided with a first knob 8 at its top, and the guide rod 4 is provided with a limit block 5 at its top. The first threaded rod 7 is provided with a first knob 8 at its top, which allows the operator to drive the first threaded rod 7 to rotate by manually rotating the first knob 8. The first guide rod 4 is provided with a first limit block 5 at its top, which effectively limits the upward distance of the movable plate 6.

[0031] See Figure 2 The vibration sensor 15 is model GA-223. The GA-223 vibration sensor 15 features high sensitivity and high precision, which improves the monitoring accuracy of cable condition. The GA-223 vibration sensor 15 has undergone strict quality control and durability testing, and has excellent reliability and stability. It is not easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

[0032] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, by rotating the first knob 8, the first threaded rod 7 is rotated, causing the movable plate 6 to slide along the guide rod 4, bringing the upper clamping plate 10 and the lower clamping plate 9 closer together. When the appropriate position is reached, by rotating the second knob 12 and the third knob 14, the second threaded rod 11 and the third threaded rod 13 are rotated, causing the upper clamping plate 10 to be finely clamped according to the different diameters of the cables. The vibration sensor 15 detects and records the vibration of the V-shaped seat 3 in real time. When the cable is released from the clamping impact device, the vibration sensor 15 sends an electrical signal to the external control panel to remind the staff to carry out maintenance, while simultaneously controlling the warning light 16 to light up, reminding passersby to pay attention and making it easier for operators to find the specific maintenance location.

[0033] All parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
