Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tray technology, and in particular to a combined cable tray. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation and the development of building intelligence, electrical systems are becoming increasingly complex. Various types of cables, including power cables, control cables and communication cables, need to be laid in buildings, and the number of cables is also increasing. This requires cable trays to provide more flexible laying methods to adapt to different types and quantities of cable layouts. The space utilization of modern buildings and industrial facilities is more compact, which puts forward higher requirements for the spatial adaptability of cable trays.
[0003] Traditional cable trays are typically one-piece structures, which offer limited installation flexibility. In complex building layouts, because their shape and routing are largely fixed during manufacturing, on-site modifications are difficult. This necessitates custom-designed cable trays, increasing costs and extending installation timelines. Repairing and replacing traditional cable trays is also cumbersome; damage to any part requires dismantling a significant portion of the tray for repair or replacement, disrupting cable operation. Furthermore, traditional cable trays lack flexibility in load-bearing capacity adjustments. Later additions to the cable quantity or type increase the load on the tray, and one-piece cable trays cannot simply be modified by adding support structures to meet new load requirements. Therefore, redesigning and installing new cable trays is essential. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a modular cable tray, which aims to improve the poor installation flexibility of traditional cable trays in the prior art.

[0034] 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.
[0035] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a combined cable tray, including a top plate 1. A groove 3 is provided on the top of the top plate 1. A lead screw 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 3. The inner wall of the groove 3 has good sliding performance, and the lead screw 6 can slide smoothly inside it. A locking block 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the lead screw 6. A limit block 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the locking block 5. A nut 7 is threadedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the lead screw 6. A tapered nut 9 is threadedly connected to the top of the lead screw 6. An expansion tube 8 is slidably connected between the tapered nut 9 and the adjacent nut 7. When the nut 7 is gradually tightened, the expansion tube 8 will expand and deform under the squeezing action of the lead screw 6 and the surrounding components, thereby further enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection and effectively preventing the lead screw 6 from loosening and displacement during use. A connecting structure 2 is provided on the outer wall of the top plate 1. The connecting structure 2 is used to connect multiple top plates 1.
[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 The connecting structure 2 includes connecting holes 201, which are located at both ends of the outer wall of the top plate 1. Bolts 203 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting holes 201. A lower positioning block 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bolts 203. An upper positioning block 204 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the upper middle end of the bolts 203. A nut 205 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the upper end of the bolts 203. The shape and size of the lower positioning block 202 match the top plate 1, allowing it to be accurately embedded in the corresponding position when the two top plates 1 are joined, playing a crucial role in initial positioning and auxiliary connection. The upper outer wall of the upper end of bolt 203 is slidably connected to an upper positioning block 204. The upper positioning block 204 can slide and adjust within a certain range on bolt 203. Its function is to help maintain the verticality of bolt 203 and the tightness of connection between top plates 1 during the tightening of nut 205. The upper outer wall of bolt 203 is threadedly connected to nut 205. When multiple top plates 1 need to be assembled, bolt 203 is passed through the connection hole 201 of adjacent top plates 1, and then the tight and stable connection between top plates 1 is achieved by tightening nut 205.
[0037] Please see the appendix Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 4The outer wall of the top plate 1 is provided with multiple heat dissipation holes 12. The array of heat dissipation holes 12 can effectively promote air circulation between the inside and outside environment of the cable tray. When the cable generates heat while running in the cable tray, the heat can be quickly dissipated through the heat dissipation holes 12, thereby reducing the temperature inside the cable tray and ensuring that the cable is always within a suitable working temperature range, extending the service life of the cable and improving the safety and stability of operation. Multiple triangular blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the top plate 1, which have good stability and locking performance. A sleeve 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the other side of the top plate 1. A spring 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 19. A locking block 21 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 20. A bottom plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 1. A locking hole 16 is provided on the right outer wall of the bottom plate 14. The shape and size of the locking hole 16 on the right outer wall of the bottom plate 14 match the triangular blocks 15, which can achieve a tight and stable locking connection, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 14.
[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 3 - Appendix Figure 5 The locking hole 16 engages with the triangular block 15. A slot 17 is provided on the inner left side of the top plate 1. One-way flaps 18 are provided on the inner wall of the top plate 1. The one-way flaps 18 are symmetrically arranged, which greatly facilitates the laying of cables. A fixing block 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the lead screw 6. A blocking block 11 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 10. When dust and debris enter the interior of the slide 3, the blocking block 11 is rotated to cover the corresponding area to achieve the purpose of protection. A nameplate 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the bottom plate 14, which facilitates the quick and accurate acquisition of relevant information during installation, maintenance and management. The outer wall of the bottom plate 14 is provided with a fireproof coating, which has good high temperature resistance and heat insulation performance.
[0039] Working principle: Insert the lead screw 6 into the pre-drilled hole near the tapered nut 9, screw the nut 7 onto the lead screw 6 and tighten it gradually to secure the lead screw 6. After securing the lead screw 6, begin the installation and fixing of the top plate 1. Insert the limiting block 4 from the leftmost end of the slide 3 and slide it smoothly to the right along the direction of the slide 3 until the locking block 5 is accurately locked into the designated position on the right side of the slide 3, so that the top plate 1 is fixed on the corresponding structure. Slowly lower the blocking block 11 to cover the left side and middle area of the slide 3. This effectively prevents dust and various debris from entering the interior of the slide 3, achieving fast and efficient installation of the cable tray.
[0040] First, align the two top plates 1 to ensure edge matching. Then, place the lower positioning block 202 at the joint of the two top plates 1 to provide initial positioning and auxiliary connection. Next, insert the two bolts 203 fixed on the top surface of the lower positioning block 202 into the connection holes 201 on the two top plates 1 respectively. Then, align the upper positioning block 204 with the bolts 203 and tighten the nut 205 to achieve stable assembly of the two top plates 1, laying a solid foundation for the integrity and reliability of the entire cable tray structure.
[0041] 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.
