Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine technology, and in particular to a cable protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Ships are equipped with cables that transmit power, signals, and other functions, playing a crucial role. However, during ship operation, various factors such as vibration, friction, seawater corrosion, and mechanical damage accelerate cable damage and aging, thus affecting the ship's normal operation. Currently, cables are typically protected using protective conduits, but the problem of water ingress into these conduits leading to cable immersion remains unresolved. Furthermore, cable boxes are not watertight structures, and external connections rarely undergo withstand voltage tests. Consequently, during long-term ship operation, prolonged exposure to wind and sun causes significant water accumulation in both the protective conduits and cable boxes, resulting in cables being constantly submerged in water or in humid environments, accelerating cable aging. Therefore, improving cable protection structures to effectively protect cables while preventing water accumulation and other damage is a problem that needs to be solved by those in the field. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable protection device to improve the cable protection structure, so that the cable is well protected and can be effectively prevented from being damaged by water accumulation.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Cable protection device, comprising:

Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar parts or parts having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0028] The technical solution of this embodiment will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a cable protection device, including a protection pipe 100, through which a cable passes, and a first vent is provided on the side of the protection pipe 100 for draining water accumulated inside the protection pipe 100; and a venting component 10 connected to the protection pipe 100, which can block or open the first vent.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer side of the cable is protected by a protective pipe 100, and a first vent is provided on the side of the protective pipe 100 to promptly drain water accumulated inside the protective pipe 100, preventing the cable from being submerged in water or a humid environment for a long time. This ensures that the cable can operate in a dry environment and slows down cable aging. Furthermore, the venting component 10 is connected to the protective pipe 100 and can block or open the first vent, so as to drain water accumulated inside the protective pipe 100 or water that has entered the protective pipe 100 as needed. The connection of the venting component 10 to the protective pipe 100 also prevents loss during the drainage process. Thus, the venting component 10 effectively solves the problem of water accumulation inside the protective pipe 100 during ship operation, prevents cable aging, and is simple to operate, facilitating daily operations for workers and greatly promoting ship maintenance.

[0031] The specific structure of the cable protection device in this embodiment will be described below.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cable protection device in this embodiment includes a protective pipe 100, a protective box 200, a drainage component 10, an elbow connector 20, and a connecting flange 30. Specifically, the cable passes through the protective pipe 100, and several protective pipes 100 can be connected through the protective box 200 and the connecting flange 30, so that the outer side of the cable can be protected by the protective pipe 100. Furthermore, both the protective pipe 100 and the protective box 200 are provided with drainage components 10 to drain accumulated water in the protective pipe 100 and the protective box 200, ensuring that the cable operates in a dry environment. Furthermore, the elbow connector 20 is provided on the protective pipe 100, and the bending angle of the elbow connector 20 is adjustable, thereby protecting the bends of the protective pipe 100 and allowing the cable to be laid as needed.

[0033] Optionally, in this embodiment, a first drain port is provided on the side of the protective pipe 100, and a second drain port is provided on the side of the protective box 200. At least two sets of drain components 10 are provided: one set is connected to the protective pipe 100 and can block or open the first drain port to drain the water inside the protective pipe 100; the other set is connected to the protective box 200 and can block or open the second drain port to drain the water inside the protective box 200. For example, the first drain port and the second drain port are respectively located towards the bottom of the protective pipe 100 and the protective box 200, i.e., the first drain port is located at the bottom of the protective pipe 100, and the second drain port is located at the bottom of the protective box 200, thereby enabling rapid drainage of the water inside both. For example, the number and position of the first and second vents can be adjusted as needed, as long as each first vent and each second vent is provided with a set of venting components 10 to block or open them, so that water can be discharged quickly when it is needed, and the sealing of the inside of the protection pipe 100 and the protection box 200 can be guaranteed when water is not needed.

[0034] Furthermore, all the discharge components 10 are connected to the protective pipe 100 or the protective box 200, so that when the first and second discharge ports are opened for drainage, the discharge components 10 will not completely detach from the protective pipe 100 or the protective box 200, thereby avoiding loss and other situations that would increase costs. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the venting component 10 includes a plug 11 and a connecting chain 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plug 11 can seal the first vent or the second vent, and one end of the connecting chain 12 is connected to the outside of the protective tube 100 or the outside of the protective box 200, and the other end is connected to the plug 11 to prevent the plug 11 from being lost after the first vent or the second vent is opened.

[0035] Specifically, the plug 11 is provided with external threads, and both the first and second vent ports are provided with internal threads. The plug 11 can be screwed onto the first and second vent ports, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the plug 11 and the protective tube 100 and the protective box 200. Further, in this embodiment, the plug 11 is provided with a threaded portion, a limiting plate, and an operating portion, and the threaded portion has external threads on its outer side, so that the first and second vent ports can be screwed onto them respectively, thereby sealing and opening the first and second vent ports. Further, the limiting plate is located between the threaded portion and the operating portion, and the outer diameter of the limiting plate is larger than the outer diameter of the threaded portion, thereby preventing the plug 11 from being difficult to remove or falling into the protective tube 100 and the protective box 200 when screwed on. Further, the operating portion is connected to the connecting chain 12 to ensure a stable connection between the plug 11 and the connecting chain 12, and the operating portion is designed as a hexagonal nut structure for easy operation by the operator. For example, the connecting chain 12 is made of metal chain to ensure the connection strength between the discharge component 10 and the protective tube 100 and the protective box 200.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, connecting flanges 30 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the protection box 200, used to connect the protection pipe 100 and the protection box 200, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the two. Furthermore, the elbow connector 20 has an adjustable angle range between 0° and 90°, which effectively prevents the cable from getting stuck at the bend. Optionally, in this embodiment, the shape of the protection pipe 100 can be varied according to the cable routing, and the material and surface treatment of the protection pipe 100 can be adjusted according to the actual usage scenario, which will not be elaborated here. Furthermore, the protection box 200 is a device for connecting different sections of the protection pipe 100, which not only facilitates cable laying but also allows for cable branching, thereby expanding the functionality of the cable protection device.

[0037] Therefore, this embodiment uses a simple cable protection device to solve the problem of water accumulation in the cable protection pipe 100 during the operation of ships, thereby greatly slowing down or preventing cable aging. At the same time, thanks to the drainage component 10 in the cable protection device, crew members and other personnel can perform routine ship maintenance with minimal additional workload.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
