Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a guide plate frame for laying cables on ships. Background Technology

[0002] Marine cables are used for power, lighting, and general control in various river and sea vessels and offshore oil platforms and other floating structures. They are mainly divided into marine power cables, marine control cables, and marine communication cables. They ensure the normal operation of various electrical equipment, guarantee the coordinated operation of various ship systems, and meet the communication needs of the ship's internal and external systems. They serve multiple functions and are an important link connecting various electrical equipment on a ship. Currently, when installing marine cables, guide plates similar to cable trays are used to support the cables to ensure smooth laying of the marine cables.

[0003] However, existing ship cable guide frames only have the function of supporting ship cables during use. As the ship moves, the ship cables can easily become loose or even shift and entangle with each other, making it inconvenient for later maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a guide plate frame for laying cables on ships to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Purpose of the utility model

[0006] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a guide plate frame for laying ship cables. By setting bottom rods and top rods of different heights, when the ship cables are inserted, under the action of spring force, the ship cables located above the bottom plate are not only distributed in a wave shape, but also have a certain buffer force, always keeping them in a tight state and not easily loosening. The design of the partition can divide the ship cables into several strands, avoiding the situation where the ship cables gather and entangle each other after being inserted due to the large number of cables, which facilitates later maintenance.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a guide plate frame for laying cables on ships, including a base plate, wherein baffles are connected to both the left and right sides of the base plate;

[0009] Several push rods are installed between the two baffles and located at the top of the inner wall of the baffles;

[0010] Several bottom rods are installed between the two baffles and located at the bottom of the inner wall of the baffles, and are staggered from the top rods;

[0011] A sleeve, fitted on the outside of the top rod and bottom rod, is movable along the length of the top rod or bottom rod and is used for laying marine cables. Several partitions are fitted on the outside of the sleeve to separate multiple strands of marine cables.

[0012] A rotating rod is installed at both ends of the top rod and the bottom rod. A slider is connected to the outside of the rotating rod, and the slider can move horizontally along the height direction of the baffle.

[0013] Springs are installed at the bottom of the slider connected to the top rod and at the top of the slider connected to the bottom rod, respectively, to drive adjacent top rods and bottom rods away from each other to tighten the ship's cable.

[0014] Preferably, the sleeve is threadedly connected to the top or bottom rod inside it.

[0015] Preferably, the top rod and the bottom rod are provided with grooves along their length on their outer sides, and each sleeve is provided with a planar section on its outer side that is aligned with the opening of the groove.

[0016] Preferably, a bolt is mounted on the planar segment, and the threaded end of the bolt extends to the bottom of the groove.

[0017] Preferably, the inner walls of both baffles are provided with grooves that can accommodate the slider and the spring.

[0018] Preferably, a clearance groove is provided at the top of both the bottom plate opening and the outlet, and a guide rod is installed inside the clearance groove.

[0019] Preferably, the left and right ends of the two guide rods are also connected to rotating rods, and the rotating rods connected to the guide rods are installed inside the baffle.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are:

[0021] This invention features bottom and top rods of different heights. When the ship's cable is inserted, the bottom rod applies a downward thrust to the cable under the action of spring force, pressing the cable at the bottom of the bottom rod downwards. Meanwhile, the top rod applies an upward thrust to the cable, lifting the cable at the top of the top rod. This results in the ship's cable above the bottom plate not only being distributed in a wave-like pattern but also having a certain buffering force, keeping it in a tight state and preventing it from easily loosening. The partition design divides the ship's cable into several strands, preventing the cables from clustering and tangling after insertion due to their large number, thus facilitating later maintenance.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The guide frame for laying cables on ships shown includes a base plate 1, and baffles 2 are connected to both the left and right sides of the base plate 1.

[0032] Several push rods 3 are installed between the two baffles 2 and are located at the top of the inner wall of the baffles 2;

[0033] Several bottom rods 4 are installed between the two baffles 2, located at the bottom of the inner wall of the baffles 2, and are staggered from the top rods 3;

[0034] A sleeve 5 is fitted on the outside of the top rod 3 and the bottom rod 4. The sleeve 5 can be moved along the length of the top rod 3 or the bottom rod 4. The sleeve 5 is used for laying marine cables. Several partitions 6 are fitted on the outside of the sleeve 5 to separate the multiple strands of marine cables.

[0035] Rotating rod 7 is installed at both ends of the top rod 3 and the bottom rod 4. A slider 8 is connected to the outside of the rotating rod 7. The slider 8 can move horizontally along the height direction of the baffle 2.

[0036] Springs 9 are installed at the bottom of the slider 8 connected to the top rod 3 and at the top of the slider 8 connected to the bottom rod 4, respectively, to drive adjacent top rods 3 and bottom rods 4 away from each other to tighten the ship's cable.

[0037] In one embodiment, the sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the top rod 3 or bottom rod 4 inside it. The top rod 3 and bottom rod 4 each have a groove 10 along their length on their outer sides. Each sleeve 5 has a flat section 11 on its outer side, aligned with the opening of the groove 10. A bolt 12 is mounted on the flat section 11, with the threaded end of the bolt 12 extending to the bottom of the groove 10. The sleeve 5 can rotate along the outer side of the top rod 3 or bottom rod 4, thereby changing its position. This allows for adjustment of the inserted ship cable, making it wavy and inclined in the extension direction, thus providing higher tensile strength and preventing breakage during use. The bolt 12 design allows the threaded end of the sleeve 5 to press against the inner wall of the rotating rod 7 or bottom rod 4 located in the groove 10 when the bolt 12 is tightened after the sleeve 5 has been rotated to adjust its position, thereby fixing the position of the sleeve 5 and completing the integration of the ship cable.

[0038] In one embodiment, the inner walls of both baffles 2 are provided with grooves 13 that can accommodate the slider 8 and the spring 9, so that the slider 8 can move horizontally along the height direction of the baffle 2, thereby allowing the ship cable to be tightened as the top rod 3 or the bottom rod 4 moves.

[0039] The specific implementation method is as follows: When using this utility model, the operator fixes the guide plate frame in the required position inside the ship, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the ship cable passes through the opening on the right side of the bottom plate 1 and enters above the right guide rod 15. The ship cable is pulled so that it passes through the bottom of the bottom rod 4 and the top of the top rod 3 in sequence, and finally exits between the top of the guide rod 15 and the bottom of the bottom rod 4 at the opening on the left side. This makes the ship cable distributed in a wave shape above the bottom plate 1, and the overall laying has a certain strength.

[0040] At the same time, the bottom rod 4 is subjected to pressure from the ship cable and will tend to move upward. At this time, the sliders 8 at both ends of the bottom rod 4 will move upward along the height direction of the slide groove 13, while the spring 9 will apply a downward elastic force to the slider 8 while contracting, so that the bottom rod 4 can apply a downward thrust to the ship cable and press the ship cable located at the bottom of the bottom rod 4 downward.

[0041] Similarly, when the push rod 3 is subjected to pressure from the ship cable, it will tend to move downward. At this time, the sliders 8 at both ends of the push rod 3 will move downward along the height direction of the slide groove 13, while the spring 9 will apply an upward elastic force to the slider 8 while contracting, so that the push rod 3 can apply a thrust to the ship cable and push the ship cable located at the top of the push rod 3 upward.

[0042] Therefore, under the action of spring 9, the ship cable located above the bottom plate 1 is not only distributed in a wave shape, but also has a certain buffering force, and is always in a tight state, and will not easily loosen, thus facilitating the use of the ship;

[0043] Furthermore, when inserting the ship's cables, the user can divide the ship's cables into several strands according to the ship's usage requirements, and insert them sequentially along the bottom rod 4 and top rod 3 between different partitions 6. This avoids the ship's cables from gathering and becoming tangled due to their large number after insertion, which facilitates later maintenance.

[0044] Meanwhile, clearance grooves 14 are provided at the top of the opening and the outlet of the bottom plate 1. Guide rods 15 are installed inside the clearance grooves 14. Rotating rods 7 are also connected to the left and right ends of the two guide rods 15. The rotating rods 7 connected to the guide rods 15 are installed inside the baffle 2, so that the ship cables that are inserted or exited can pass on the guide rods 15. The guide rods 15, the top rods 3 and the bottom plate 1 can all rotate around the rotating rods 7 as the axis, so that when the ship cables are inserted, the static friction they originally experienced becomes rolling friction. The friction force on their outer sheath is greatly reduced, making them less prone to damage and allowing them to be used for a long time.

[0045] This embodiment specifically solves the problem that existing ship cable guide frames in the prior art only have the function of supporting ship cables during use. As the ship moves as a whole, the ship cables can easily become loose or even shift and entangle with each other, making it inconvenient for later maintenance.

[0046] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
