Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power pipe technology, and in particular to modular power cable conduits. Background Technology
[0002] Cables are typically laid underground using conduits, which guide and protect the cables inside. Commonly used conduits in China include steel pipes, plastic-coated steel pipes, cement pipes, plastic pipes, fiberglass pipes, and steel-plastic composite pipes. Modular power cable conduits usually consist of multiple standard prefabricated modules, each containing a certain number of cable conduits. These modules can be combined and connected according to actual needs to form a complete cable conduit system.
[0003] Modular cable conduits consist of a main body, cable conduits, and sockets. The main body is a modular frame structure with equally spaced cable conduits inside to accommodate cables. One end has a female socket, and the other end has a female socket. Connections between modules are achieved by inserting the female socket into the female socket.
[0004] In existing technologies, some cable conduits are fixed using interfaces between connectors. However, this method cannot accommodate different pipe sizes during installation, requiring the use of connectors of the appropriate size, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, modular power cable conduits are proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a modular power cable conduit, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art that it cannot adapt to different pipe sizes during installation, requiring the search for corresponding sized connectors for installation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a modular power cable conduit, including a first pipe, a second pipe detachably connected to the outside of the first pipe, extension pipes fixedly connected to the outside of the first pipe and the left and right sides of the second pipe, a fixing ring detachably connected to the outside of the extension pipe, an adjusting column slidably connected inside the fixing ring, a spring sleeved on the outside of the adjusting column, a nut threadedly connected to the outside of the adjusting column, and an auxiliary fixing component provided inside the fixing ring, the auxiliary fixing component being able to fix the fixing ring a second time;

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a modular power cable conduit, comprising a pipe 1, which is a key basic component of the modular power cable conduit and has an overall elongated tubular structure. A pipe 2 is detachably connected to the outside of pipe 1. Pipe 2 is also an elongated tubular structure, made of a similar material to pipe 1 to ensure consistency and compatibility after connection. Extension pipes 11 are fixedly connected to the outside of pipe 1 and the left and right sides of pipe 2. Fixing rings 3 are detachably connected to the outside of extension pipes 11. Fixing rings 3 are circular in shape, possessing excellent compressive and deformation resistance. The cross-section of the ring is a thick rectangle to ensure sufficient structural strength.
[0032] An adjusting column 5 is slidably connected inside the fixed ring 3. The main body of the adjusting column 5 is a cylindrical metal rod with good rigidity and wear resistance. A spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting column 5. One end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the adjusting column 5, and the other end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed ring 3. Pressing the adjusting column 5 compresses the spring 7, which accumulates elastic potential energy. After releasing the external force, the spring 7 rebounds and pushes the adjusting column 5 back to its original position or finely adjusts the position of the fixed ring 3, compensating for pipeline connection tolerances, ensuring a tight and stable connection, and providing flexible adjustment margin for modular installation.
[0033] The external threaded connection of the adjusting column 5 is a nut 6, which is precisely fitted with the threaded section of the adjusting column 5. After the adjusting column 5 is adjusted to the correct position, the nut 6 is screwed along the thread of the adjusting column 5 until the bottom surface of the nut 6 is tightly attached to the outer surface of the fixing ring 3. The adjusting column 5 is firmly locked by the friction and pressure of the threads, preventing the adjusting column 5 from shifting due to vibration, external pulling, or other factors. This stabilizes the fixing ring 3 and the entire pipeline connection structure. The fixing ring 3 is equipped with an auxiliary fixing component inside, which can fix the fixing ring 3 a second time.
[0034] The auxiliary fixing components include a fixing bolt 8, which is externally slidably connected to the inside of the fixing ring 3. The fixing bolt 8 has a threaded connection to a nut, with the thread specification of the nut being compatible to ensure smooth tightening and reliable fastening. After the adjusting column 5 and nut 6 have initially fixed the position of the fixing ring 3, the fixing bolt 8 is passed through the mounting hole 10, and nut 2 is screwed on and tightened. At this time, the fixing bolt 8 and nut 2 work together to reinforce the fixing ring 3 from another dimension, distributing the force and further strengthening the connection stability between pipe 1 and pipe 2, effectively resisting external impacts under complex working conditions, and ensuring the long-term safe operation of the cable conduit.
[0035] The fixing ring 3 has a detachable sealing ring 4 inside. The sealing ring 4 is made of high-performance rubber to prevent excessive deformation and tearing under the pressure of the fixing ring 3, ensuring a long-term stable sealing effect. The fixing ring 3 has a positioning hole 9 inside. During installation, the adjusting column 5 slides up and down in the positioning hole 9. The spring force of the spring 7 is used to finely adjust the height of the fixing ring 3, so as to achieve precise control of the pipe connection gap and the degree of sealing. At the same time, the positioning hole 9 restricts the horizontal displacement of the adjusting column 5 to prevent the adjusting column 5 from tilting due to external interference, ensuring the stable operation of the entire adjustment and fixing mechanism.
[0036] The fixing ring 3 has an internal mounting hole 10, which provides a passage for the fixing bolt 8 and is a key structure in the secondary fixing process. During construction, the fixing bolt 8 passes through the mounting hole 10 and the corresponding pipe component in sequence. The outer side of nut 1 6 contacts the outer side of the fixing ring 3, and the outer side of nut 2 contacts the outer side of the fixing ring 3. The fixing bolt 8 and nut 2 are tightened, firmly locking the fixing ring 3 at the connection between pipe 1 and pipe 2. Together with the adjusting column 5 and nut 1 6, it forms a multi-dimensional fastening system, comprehensively enhancing the reliability of the conduit connection.
[0037] The adjusting column 5 is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole 9, and the fixing bolt 8 is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole 10. The inside of the fixing ring 3 is in contact with the outside of the extension tube 11, which is also the mounting support for the fixing ring 3. The outside of the extension tube 11 is precisely reserved with mounting points for the fixing ring 3, which fits tightly with the fixing ring 3 to jointly fix the pipe connection parts and ensure the integrity and stability of the conduit.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 The pipe 1 has an internally fixed adhesive layer 12, and an externally fixed modified plastic pipe layer 13. The adhesive layer 12 is uniformly coated on the inner wall of the pipe 1 and is cured through a specific process during construction to form a dense and tough bonding interface. At the molecular level, the active groups of the adhesive layer 12 intertwine and permeate with the molecules of the inner wall material of the pipe 1 and the molecules of the modified plastic pipe layer 13, forming a dual effect of chemical bonding and physical adsorption. This strongly locks the modified plastic pipe layer 13, preventing its displacement and detachment, maintaining the integrity of the internal structure of the pipe, and ensuring the safe passage of the cable. As the inner protective structure of the pipe 1, the modified plastic pipe layer 13 is in direct contact with the cable, providing insulation and buffer protection for the cable.
[0039] Working principle: First, place pipe 1 and pipe 2 in the appropriate positions and align their ends. Then, place the sealing ring 4 outside the connection between pipe 1 and pipe 2, and then place the fixing ring 3 outside the sealing ring 4. Press down on the adjusting column 5 to insert it into the positioning hole 9. At this time, the spring 7 is compressed. The elasticity of the spring 7 can be used to adjust the position of the fixing ring 3 at the connection. After adjusting to the appropriate position, use the nut 6 to lock the adjusting column 5. Then, use the fixing bolt 8 for secondary fixation.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only 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.
