Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building engineering, specifically to a cable trough with protective function. Background Technology
[0002] Early cable trays had a relatively simple function, mainly focusing on the simple storage and fixation of cables, serving only a basic function of cable organization. However, with the rapid advancement of urban construction, the continuous expansion of industrial production, and the increasing demand for cable laying in various complex environments, these traditional cable trays gradually became unable to meet the requirements of actual use. In construction sites, cable trays are easily subjected to collisions and compression from construction machinery, which may lead to cracking of the tray and direct physical damage to the cables inside, causing power outages or communication failures. Therefore, a cable tray with protective functions is needed.
[0003] Existing patent document CN206076871U discloses a cable trough comprising a first cable trough, a second cable trough, a corner box, an extension section, a third cable trough, and a universal joint. Its key feature is that a fixing device is welded to the side of the first cable trough, the fixing device is movably connected by a pin, the right end of the first cable trough is hinged to one end of the second cable trough by a pin, the second cable trough is vertically arranged, and the other end of the second cable trough is hinged to the corner box by a pin. The corner box is connected to the extension section by a pin, the extension section has bolt holes, and both the extension section and the third cable trough have bolt holes for bolt connection. The third cable trough is connected to the universal joint by a pin, and the universal joint has a pin. The advantages of this invention include: simple structure, convenient and universal application, reduced personnel management, enhanced safety, and improved work efficiency. While possessing broad application prospects and extensive promotional value, the CN206076871U technology, during operation, involves frequent use of heavy machinery, inevitably subjecting the cable trough to accidental collisions. Due to the lack of a dedicated buffer structure within the trough, the impact force directly acts on the cable upon impact, potentially damaging the cable sheath, exposing the internal conductor, and causing short circuits. Furthermore, the absence of proper separation and guidance structures makes it difficult for workers to place cables in specific positions systematically during installation, resulting in cables haphazardly intertwined within the trough, creating a complex entanglement. When maintenance, repair, or replacement of a cable is required, workers must spend considerable time and effort navigating the chaotic cable pile. In large-scale cable laying projects, multiple cable troughs are often spliced into a continuous line. Traditional splicing methods rely heavily on mechanical connectors such as bolts and clips, a cumbersome process requiring workers to use specialized tools for individual tightening. This installation method consumes significant manpower and time, necessitating a cable trough with protective features. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable trough with protective functions to solve the problem that existing cable troughs with protective functions are subject to accidental collisions during construction due to the frequent operation of various heavy machinery. Because the trough lacks a dedicated buffer structure, the impact force acts directly on the cable upon impact, potentially damaging the cable sheath, exposing the internal conductor, and causing short circuits. Furthermore, the lack of reasonable separation and guidance structures makes it difficult for construction workers to place cables in specific positions in an orderly manner during cable laying. This results in cables being randomly interwoven within the trough, forming a complex tangled state. When maintenance, repair, or replacement of a cable is needed, workers must spend a significant amount of time and effort searching through the chaotic cable pile. In large-scale cable laying projects, multiple cable troughs often need to be spliced into a continuous line. Traditional splicing methods rely heavily on mechanical connectors such as bolts and clips, which are cumbersome and require construction workers to use specialized tools to tighten them one by one. This installation method consumes a large amount of manpower and time.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cable trough with protective function, comprising a cable trough body, magnetic sheets installed on both sides of the cable trough body, and a trough cover installed at the upper end of the cable trough body.
[0006] The inner wall of the cable trough body is equipped with buffer rubber sheets and separator rubber blocks.
[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the cable trough body is in close contact with the outer wall of the magnetic sheet, and the magnetic sheet is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the cable trough body.
[0008] Preferably, the trough cover is movably connected to the main body of the cable trough, and the trough cover has a concave structure.
[0009] Preferably, the buffer rubber sheet is engaged with the cable trough body, and the buffer rubber sheet is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the cable trough body.
[0010] Preferably, the separating rubber blocks are movably connected to the main body of the cable trough, and the separating rubber blocks are evenly spaced on the inner wall of the main body of the cable trough.
[0011] Preferably, the separating rubber block is arranged perpendicularly to the cable trough body, and the inner wall of the separating rubber block is designed with openings.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model achieves a tight fit between the cable trough body and the magnetic sheet by setting the cable trough body and the magnetic sheet. When using the device, the structure of the cable trough body and the magnetic sheet facilitates the magnetic quick splicing technology, which can significantly improve the installation efficiency. Construction personnel do not need to use cumbersome professional tools. They can easily complete the splicing operation by relying solely on the magnetic principle, which can ensure construction safety and efficiency and increase the practicality of the device.
[0014] 2. This utility model uses the cable trough body to lock and fix the buffer rubber sheet. When using the device, the structure of the buffer rubber sheet can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, preventing it from acting directly on the cable. The cable sheath is properly protected and will not be damaged by collision, and the internal conductor will not be exposed, thereby preventing short circuit faults and ensuring the stability of power transmission and communication signal transmission. At the same time, the structure of the separating rubber blocks allows construction personnel to place cables of different specifications and uses in a systematic manner in specific positions, making the cables neat and orderly arranged in the trough, avoiding random interlacing and tangling. When it is necessary to maintain, repair or replace a certain cable, the staff can quickly locate the target cable, greatly improving work efficiency and avoiding accidental contact with other cables that could cause safety accidents. This effectively ensures the maintenance efficiency and normal operation of the power and communication systems. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4A cable trough with protective function includes a cable trough body 1, with magnetic sheets 2 installed on both sides of the cable trough body 1. The outer wall of the cable trough body 1 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the magnetic sheets 2, and the magnetic sheets 2 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the cable trough body 1. A trough cover 3 is installed at the upper end of the cable trough body 1, and the trough cover 3 is movably connected to the cable trough body 1. The trough cover 3 has a concave structure. By setting the cable trough body 1 to tightly fit the magnetic sheets 2, the structural arrangement of the cable trough body 1 and the magnetic sheets 2 facilitates magnetic quick splicing technology when using the device. It can significantly improve installation efficiency. Construction personnel do not need to use cumbersome professional tools. They can easily complete the splicing operation by relying solely on the magnetic principle, which can ensure construction safety and efficiency and increase the practicality of the device.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 A cable trough with protective function is disclosed. The inner wall of the cable trough body 1 is equipped with buffer rubber sheets 4, which are engaged with the cable trough body 1 and symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the cable trough body 1. Separating rubber blocks 5 are also installed on the inner wall of the cable trough body 1, movably connected to the cable trough body 1 and evenly spaced. The separating rubber blocks 5 are perpendicular to the cable trough body 1 and have an open inner wall design. The cable trough body 1 engages and fixes the buffer rubber sheets 4. During use, the structure of the buffer rubber sheets 4 effectively absorbs and disperses impacts. The structure of the separating rubber blocks 5 prevents direct force from acting on the cables, ensuring proper protection of the cable sheath from damage due to impact and preventing the internal conductors from being exposed. This eliminates short-circuit faults and guarantees the stability of power transmission and communication signal transmission. Furthermore, the structure allows construction personnel to systematically place cables of different specifications and uses in specific locations, ensuring neat and orderly arrangement of cables within the trough and preventing random interlacing or tangling. When maintenance, repair, or replacement of a cable is required, workers can quickly locate the target cable, greatly improving work efficiency and preventing accidental contact with other cables that could lead to safety accidents. This effectively guarantees the maintenance efficiency and normal operation of the power and communication systems.

Then, attach the cable trough body 1 to the magnetic sheet 2, then snap the buffer rubber sheet 4 onto the cable trough body 1, then snap the cable trough body 1 onto the separating rubber block 5, and then snap the cables onto the separating rubber block 5 respectively. According to the usage requirements, multiple cable trough bodies 1 can be magnetically fixed and spliced together. Then, move the trough cover 3 to the splicing connection point and support the spliced cable trough bodies 1. Finally, fix the cable trough body 1 in the designated position. This completes the use of the device. The contents not described in detail in this manual are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
