Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of cable laying equipment, specifically relating to a cable tray. Background Technology

[0002] Cable trays are commonly used in buildings or electrical engineering to support, protect, and manage cables, ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of cable systems.

[0003] Due to the limited space inside the cable tray, when a large number of cables are laid inside the cable tray, the cables are prone to tangling, making it difficult to make effective use of the internal space of the cable tray. Furthermore, tangled cables are prone to problems such as poor heat dissipation and electromagnetic interference during operation, which can lead to a higher cable failure rate. Moreover, it makes it difficult for staff to distinguish between cables during maintenance and cable replacement, causing inconvenience to the staff. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problem that current cable trays easily lead to increased cable failure rates, this application provides a cable tray system.

[0005] In a first aspect of this application, a cable bridge is provided, comprising:

[0006] The frame includes a base plate, two side plates disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the base plate, and a cover plate disposed on the top of the two side plates;

[0007] A first partition plate is detachably disposed in the middle of the frame to provide a first cable channel between the bottom plate, the first partition plate and the two side plates;

[0008] A second partition plate, at least one of the second partition plates being detachably disposed on the top wall of the first partition plate, so that the cover plate, the first partition plate and the two side plates are divided into a plurality of second cable channels;

[0009] A clamping mechanism is provided on the first partition plate, and the clamping mechanism is capable of clamping the second partition plate.

[0010] In some embodiments, both side plates are provided with ribs on their sidewalls facing the first cable channel, the length direction of the ribs being parallel to the length direction of the base plate, and the first partition plate is detachably disposed on the two ribs.

[0011] In some embodiments, the top wall of the first partition plate is provided with grooves at both ends, the grooves being arranged along the width direction of the first partition plate, and the bottom end of the second partition plate is provided with a slider that cooperates with the two grooves, the slider slidingly engaging with the grooves.

[0012] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism includes two clamping plates, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the first partition plate along its length, and the clamping plates are connected to a first driving member that drives the clamping plates to move.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first driving member includes a plurality of tension springs, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the clamping plate and the first partition plate. When the two clamping plates clamp the two ends of the second partition plate, the tension springs are in a stretched state.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cable bridge further includes an adjustment mechanism that operably drives the two clamps away from the second separator.

[0015] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism includes at least one push plate and a second driving member. The push plate is slidably disposed on the first partition plate, and the length direction of the push plate is parallel to the first partition plate. A wedge block is disposed on the side of the clamping plate facing the push plate. When the second driving member can drive the push plate to move along the width direction of the first partition plate, the two ends of the push plate abut against the wedge block to move the clamping plate away from the second partition plate.

[0016] In some embodiments, the second driving component is a lead screw, which is rotatably mounted on the first partition plate. The push plate is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and a connector is provided at one end of the lead screw. A through hole is provided on the side plate, and the through hole is coaxial with the lead screw.

[0017] In some embodiments, the first partition plate is provided with a mounting cavity, the two ends of the mounting cavity are respectively connected to the slide groove, the clamping mechanism and the adjusting mechanism are both disposed in the mounting cavity, and the push plate is disposed between the two clamping plates.

[0018] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the first partition plate is provided with a fireproof plate.

[0019] The cable bridge provided according to one or more embodiments of this application has multiple first cable channels and multiple second cable channels that can accommodate cables through a first partition plate and a second partition plate. This allows operators to select to place multiple cables into the first cable channel or different second cable channels according to the thickness, type, maintenance frequency, etc., and the clamping mechanism can effectively restrict the second partition plate, making it difficult for it to move. This not only makes it convenient for operators to clearly see different types of cables for maintenance, but also, due to the separation of the first partition plate and the second partition plate, the range of movement of multiple cables in their respective spaces is small, greatly reducing the probability of tangling and the failure rate of the cables.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 According to a first aspect of this application, a cable bridge is provided, including a frame 100, a first partition plate 200, a second partition plate 300, and a clamping mechanism 400.

[0029] The frame 100 includes a base plate 110, two side plates 120 disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the base plate 110, and a cover plate 130 disposed on the top of the two side plates 120. That is, the frame 100 is the basic structural component of the cable bridge. The base plate 110, side plates 120 and cover plate 130 enclose a space for placing and protecting cables, and the two ends of the space are open to facilitate the entry and exit of cables.

[0030] A first partition plate 200 is detachably disposed in the middle of the frame 100 to provide a first cable channel 140 between the bottom plate 110, the first partition plate 200, and the two side plates 120; at least one second partition plate 300 is detachably disposed on the top wall of the first partition plate 200 to divide the area between the cover plate 130, the first partition plate 200, and the two side plates 120 into multiple second cable channels. A clamping mechanism 400 is disposed on the first partition plate 200 and is capable of clamping the second partition plate 300.

[0031] The first partition plate 200 and the second partition plate 300 enable the cable bridge to have multiple first cable channels 140 and multiple second cable channels that can accommodate cables. This allows operators to select multiple cables to be placed in the first cable channel 140 or different second cable channels according to the cable thickness, type, maintenance frequency, etc. The clamping mechanism 400 can effectively restrict the second partition plate 300, making it difficult for it to move. This not only makes it convenient for operators to clearly see different types of cables for maintenance, but also, due to the separation of the first partition plate 200 and the second partition plate 300, the range of movement of multiple cables in their respective spaces is small, greatly reducing the probability of tangling and the failure rate of cables.

[0032] Please see Figure 5-6 In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the first partition plate 200 is provided with a fireproof plate 600, that is, the fireproof plate 600 separates the first cable channel 140 and the second cable channel. Even if a fire is caused by a cable failure in the first cable channel 140 or the second cable channel, it will not affect other cable channels in a short period of time, which is safe and can reduce losses.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, both side plates 120 are provided with ribs 121 on their sidewalls facing the first cable channel 140. The length direction of the ribs 121 is parallel to the length direction of the bottom plate 110. The first partition plate 200 is detachably provided on the two ribs 121.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The first partition plate 200 can be directly overlapped with the protruding ribs 121 by two protruding ribs 121 set on different side plates 120. The installation method is simple and the installation efficiency is high. Moreover, the processing difficulty is low and the production cost is correspondingly low.

[0035] In some embodiments, the top wall of the first partition plate 200 is provided with grooves 210 at both ends, the grooves 210 are provided along the width direction of the first partition plate 200, and the bottom end of the second partition plate 300 is provided with a slider 310 that cooperates with the two grooves 210, the slider 310 and the grooves 210 slide in cooperation.

[0036] The distance between the two sliders 310 at the bottom of the second partition plate 300 remains constant. The cooperation between the two sliders 310 and the two grooves 210 restricts the position of the second partition plate 300 on the first partition plate 200, that is, the second partition plate 300 will not tilt relative to the side plate 120, thereby ensuring that the second partition plate 300 will not easily shift. In some embodiments, operators can use different numbers of second partition plates 300 as needed to separate second cable channels of different sizes.

[0037] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 400 includes two clamping plates 410, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the first partition plate 200 in the length direction, and the clamping plates 410 are connected to a first driving member that drives the clamping plates 410 to move.

[0038] The slide groove 210 and the slider 310 restrict the position of the second partition plate 300 in the length direction of the first partition plate 200, and the clamping plate 410 restricts the position of the second partition plate 300 in the width direction of the first partition plate 200, so that the second partition plate 300 can be set more tightly on the first partition plate 200. The first driving member is used to drive the clamping plate 410 to move, so that the two clamping plates 410 can jointly clamp the two ends of multiple second partition plates 300. At this time, the relative position between the second partition plate 300 and the clamping mechanism 400 is not convenient.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first driving member includes a plurality of tension springs 420, the two ends of which are connected to the clamping plate 410 and the first partition plate 200 respectively. When the two clamping plates 410 clamp the two ends of the second partition plate 300, the tension springs 420 are in a stretched state.

[0040] When stretched, the tension spring 420 has a restoring force to its natural state. This force drives the clamping plates 410 to move the first partition plate 200, thereby enabling the two clamping plates 410 to clamp the two ends of the second partition plate 300. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first driving element can be a hydraulic mechanism. The extension rod of the hydraulic mechanism can extend to drive the clamping plates 410 towards the center of the first partition plate 200, thereby clamping the second partition plate 300.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the cable bridge further includes an adjustment mechanism 500, which operably drives the two clamping plates 410 away from the second partition plate 300. When the first driving member is a hydraulic mechanism, the cable bridge does not require the adjustment mechanism 500; the telescopic rod of the hydraulic mechanism can drive the clamping plates 410 to reciprocate. When the first driving member is a tension spring 420, the clamping plates 410 remain clamped to the second partition plate 300; if the second partition plate 300 needs to be adjusted, external force is required to adjust the clamping plates 410. Therefore, this embodiment uses the adjustment mechanism 500 to allow the clamping plates 410 to move away from the second partition plate 300.

[0042] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 500 includes at least one push plate 510 and a second driving member. The push plate 510 is slidably disposed on the first partition plate 200, and the length direction of the push plate 510 is parallel to the first partition plate 200. A wedge block 430 is disposed on the side of the clamping plate 410 facing the push plate 510. When the second driving member can drive the push plate 510 to move along the width direction of the first partition plate 200, the two ends of the push plate 510 abut against the wedge block 430 to move the clamping plate 410 away from the second partition plate 300.

[0043] Understandably, the thickness of the wedge block 430 increases or decreases along the width direction of the first partition plate 200. When the push plate 510 moves along the width direction of the first partition plate 200, one end of the push plate 510 will gradually come into contact with the wedge block 430. Since the push plate 510 only moves along the width direction of the first partition plate 200, the clamping plate 410 will move away from the second partition plate 300 under force. At this time, the clamping plate 410 will separate from the second partition plate 300, making it easier for the operator to adjust the second partition plate 300.

[0044] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the push plate 510 when it moves, the adjustment mechanism 500 includes two push plates 510. The two push plates 510 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the first partition plate 200. The clamping plate 410 is provided with two wedge blocks 430 at both ends of the side facing the push plate 510, which correspond one-to-one with the two push plates 510. When the two push plates 510 move synchronously, the two wedge blocks 430 of the clamping plate 410 are subjected to force at the same time, and the clamping plate 410 can move away from the second partition plate 300 more stably.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second driving component is a lead screw 520, which is rotatably mounted on the first partition plate 200. The push plate 510 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 520. One end of the lead screw 520 is provided with a connector 521, and the side plate 120 is provided with a through hole 122, which is coaxial with the lead screw 520.

[0046] The connector 521 of the lead screw 520 is used to connect to a mechanism that drives the lead screw 520 to rotate. For example, the connector 521 can be a hexagonal threaded hole. An internal hex wrench that matches the hexagonal threaded hole is inserted into the through hole 122 and connected to the hexagonal threaded hole. The operator can then drive the lead screw 520 to rotate from outside the frame 100, thereby causing the push plate 510, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw 520, to move back and forth. Therefore, it can be understood that only one operator can adjust the position of the clamping plate 410, which can reduce the complexity of construction and improve work efficiency.

[0047] Considering that cables will be laid above and below the first partition 200, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first partition plate 200 is provided with an installation cavity 220, the two ends of the installation cavity 220 are respectively connected to the slide groove 210, the clamping mechanism 400 and the adjusting mechanism 500 are both provided in the installation cavity 220, and the push plate 510 is provided between the two clamping plates 410.

[0048] By setting a cavity, both the clamping mechanism 400 and the adjusting mechanism 500 can be located within the cavity, making the top and bottom walls of the first partition plate 200 smooth. The cable will not be affected by the clamping mechanism 400 and the adjusting mechanism 500, resulting in a low cable failure rate. The cable will also not affect the clamping mechanism 400 in holding the second partition plate 300, nor will it affect the adjusting mechanism 500 in driving the clamping mechanism 400. The entire cable bridge is less prone to damage.

[0049] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being 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 being 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.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
