[0038] With the rapid development of industries such as power and communications, the performance requirements for cable supports, as crucial facilities for supporting and protecting cables, are increasingly stringent. Most existing metal cable supports are made of steel or conventional aluminum alloys (such as 6063-T6). Existing cable supports generally suffer from the following defects:
[0039] 1. Heavy weight: If the cable bracket is made of steel, the high density of steel will result in a heavy overall weight of the cable bracket, which will lead to high transportation and installation costs.
[0040] 2. Insufficient strength: If the cable support is made of aluminum alloy, it is difficult to meet the high load-bearing requirements because the yield strength of conventional aluminum alloy is low (≤240MPa).
[0041] 3. Poor corrosion resistance: The surface of conventional cable brackets is generally treated by electroplating or ordinary spraying, and their salt spray resistance is usually <240 hours.
[0042] Based on the above, this specification provides a cable bracket and cable support device, which can effectively alleviate the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0043] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a cable bracket 01, which includes a bracket body 10 and a right-angle support structure 20.
[0044] The main body 10 of the support is a hollow cuboid frame structure with three open sides, including two opposing first sides 11 and a second side 12 that is connected to the two first sides 11 respectively.
[0045] The second surface 12 has a stamped annular mesh protrusion 121.
[0046] The right-angle support structure 20 is fixed to the two first surfaces 11 respectively and is located between the two first surfaces 11.
[0047] like Figure 1As shown, the main body 10 of the cable bracket 01 is a hollow cuboid frame structure. This structure reduces the weight of the entire cable bracket 01 to a certain extent, making it easier to install, disassemble, and transport. Since the weight reduction would decrease the strength of the cable bracket 01, this invention sets the second surface 12 of the main body 10 as a stamped annular mesh protrusion 121 to enhance the local rigidity of the cable bracket 01. Installing a fixed right-angle support structure 20 between the two first surfaces 11 of the main body 10 further improves the overall strength of the cable bracket 01 while reducing the material thickness.
[0048] Optionally, the support body 10 is made of 7XXX series aluminum alloy.
[0049] The 7XXX series aluminum alloys mainly include 7075, 7068, and 7050 aluminum alloys. Among them, 7075 aluminum alloy contains approximately 5.6% zinc, 2.5% magnesium, and 1.6% copper; 7068 aluminum alloy contains approximately 8.4% zinc, 2.85% magnesium, and 1.2% copper, and has high strength and high wear resistance, often used in applications requiring extremely high strength; while 7050 aluminum alloy contains approximately 6.2% zinc, 2.3% magnesium, and 2.3% copper, and has excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
[0050] Optionally, the chemical composition of the aluminum alloy includes aluminum, silicon, magnesium, zinc, titanium, rare earth elements, and iron.
[0051] The composition includes silicon (≤0.40%), magnesium (2.1-2.9%), zinc (5.1-6.1%), titanium and rare earth elements (≤0.25%), iron (0.000-0.500%), and the remainder is aluminum.
[0052] As an optional implementation, the support body 10 in this utility model can be made of 7075-T651 aluminum alloy, which contains less than or equal to 0.40% silicon, 2.1 to 2.9% magnesium, 5.1 to 6.1% zinc, less than 0.25% titanium and rare earth elements, 0.000 to 0.500% iron, and the remainder is aluminum.
[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the annular mesh protrusion 121 protrudes towards the second surface 12 in a direction away from the first surface 11. The annular mesh protrusion 121 is formed in steps using a 500-ton mechanical punch press.
[0054] Optionally, the height of the annular mesh protrusion 121 is 1.5 to 2.0 mm.
[0055] Obtained through step-by-step forming using a 500-ton mechanical punch press. Figure 2The annular mesh protrusion 121 with a height of 1.5 to 2.0 mm shown not only enhances the local strength of the cable bracket 01, but also increases the friction of the second surface 12 of the cable bracket 01.
[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, mounting through holes 111 are provided on the two first surfaces 11.
[0057] The two opposite sides of the right-angle support structure 20 are respectively adapted to the size of the through hole, and the two sides of the right-angle support structure 20 are respectively embedded in the mounting through holes 111 opened on the two first surfaces 11 by laser welding.
[0058] To ensure the stability of the right-angle support structure 20 welded in the cable bracket 01, a mounting through hole 111 can be opened on the first surface 11. The bracket support structure is embedded in the mounting through hole 111, and then the connection between the right-angle support structure 20 and the mounting through hole 111 is welded by laser welding to ensure the strength of the weld.
[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cable bracket 01 includes multiple right-angle support structures 20, and the right-angle directions of every two adjacent right-angle support structures 20 are opposite.
[0060] To further increase the strength of the cable bracket 01, multiple right-angle support structures 20 can be installed within the bracket body 10. By reversing the right-angle directions of every two adjacent right-angle support structures 20, the area occupied by the right-angle support structures 20 can be reduced, thereby allowing for more right-angle support structures 20 to be installed within the bracket body 10.
[0061] Optionally, the surface of the support body 10 is coated with a composite coating, which includes a first coating and a second coating.
[0062] The first coating is a two-component epoxy resin, and the second coating is a fluorocarbon modified polyurethane.
[0063] The thickness of the first coating is 30 μm, and the thickness of the second coating is 50 μm.
[0064] Two-component epoxy resin (EP-228) possesses numerous advantages, including high bond strength, good toughness, oil resistance, water resistance, acid and alkali resistance, moisture resistance, and dust resistance. It can also withstand high and low temperatures, damp heat, and atmospheric aging. Furthermore, the cured product of two-component epoxy resin exhibits excellent electrical and physical properties such as insulation, compressive strength, and low shrinkage. Therefore, two-component epoxy resin can be used as the material for the first coating layer, with a thickness of up to 30 μm.
[0065] Fluorocarbon-modified polyurethane (FPC) exhibits excellent weather resistance, maintaining stable performance under extreme weather conditions. It also demonstrates strong resistance to various chemicals, resisting corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts, making it suitable for harsh environments. Furthermore, FPC possesses high hardness and good adhesion, withstanding significant impacts and abrasion. Its high surface energy makes it resistant to dust and oil contamination, facilitating cleaning and maintaining a pristine finish. FPC also remains stable at high temperatures, making it suitable for applications requiring high-temperature environments. Therefore, FPC can be used as a second coating material with a thickness of up to 50 μm.
[0066] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bracket body 10 has mounting and positioning holes 112.
[0067] The mounting positioning holes 112 are respectively set at the same end of the two first surfaces 11.
[0068] A mounting positioning hole 112 is provided at the same end of the main body 10 of the support frame. When the cable bracket 01 needs to be installed, there is no need to drill holes on site. The cable bracket 01 can be installed and fixed by means of screws, nuts and other connectors through the mounting positioning hole 112. This saves the installation time of the cable bracket 01 and reduces labor and equipment costs.
[0069] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model provides a cable support device, which includes the cable bracket 01 of any of the above-mentioned items.
[0070] Regarding the aforementioned cable support equipment, the specific functions and structures of each part have been described in detail in the embodiments of cable bracket 01 provided in this specification, and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0071] The above-described solutions in the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following beneficial effects:
[0072] By designing the main body of the cable support as a hollow cuboid frame structure, and adding a stamped annular mesh protrusion on the second surface of the main body, along with a right-angle support structure between the two first surfaces of the main body, the cable support achieves both lightweight design and sufficient strength.
[0073] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
