[0019] Example

[0020] refer to Figures 1-4 A ladder-type cable tray includes a cable tray body 1. The cable tray body 1 includes two oppositely arranged cable tray side plates 11. An extension plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the cable tray side plate 11. A plurality of evenly distributed crossbeams 13 are fixedly connected between the two extension plates 12. A support assembly 14 is detachably provided between two adjacent crossbeams 13. The support assembly 14 includes two oppositely arranged expansion joints 140. An installation plate 141 is rotatably provided on the outer side of the expansion joint 140. A fastening hole 142 is provided through the installation plate 141 for fastening bolts 15 to be inserted and fixed by fastening nuts 16. Both ends of the expansion joint 140 are movably provided with snap-fit ​​plates 143. A support column 144 is provided on the inner side of one expansion joint 140. A connecting groove 145 is provided in the support column 144. A connecting rod 146, one end of which is connected to the other expansion joint 140, is slidably provided in the connecting groove 145.

[0021] Furthermore, the connecting rod 146 is provided with a limiting block 147, and the inner side wall of the connecting groove 145 is provided with a limiting groove 148 for the limiting block 147 to move. By setting the limiting groove 148 and the limiting block 147, not only can the connecting rod 146 not be separated from the support column 144 and always maintain the connection relationship with the support column 144, but the displacement of the connecting rod 146 can also be limited.

[0022] Furthermore, both sides of the crossarm 13 are provided with docking plates 130. The docking plates 130 are provided with locking grooves 131 for the displacement of locking plates 143. The top end face of the docking plates 130 is provided with guide grooves 132 for the locking plates 143 to be pressed and slid into the locking grooves 131. The guide grooves 132 are connected to the locking grooves 131. Through the setting of locking grooves 131 and locking plates 143, the extension joint 140 after stretching can be limited, so that the support assembly 14 is initially connected to the two adjacent crossarms 13. At the same time, the extension joint 140 does not detach from the connection with the crossarm 13 when it moves on the crossarm 13, and always maintains the connection relationship with the crossarm 13.

[0023] Furthermore, a fastening plate 120 is provided on the top end face of the extension plate 12 between the two crossarms 13. The fastening plate 120 has a fastening groove 121 that communicates with the fastening hole 142.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model:

[0025] When laying flexible wires on the cable tray body 1, align the two snap-fit ​​plates 143 at one end of the support assembly 14 with the guide groove 132 on the crossarm 13, then stretch the expansion joint 140 to align the two snap-fit ​​plates 143 at the other end of the support assembly 14 with the guide groove 132 on the adjacent crossarm 13, insert the support assembly 14 downwards so that the snap-fit ​​plates 143 slide into the snap-fit ​​grooves 131, and then stretch the mounting plate 141 toward the fastening plate 120. At the same time as stretching, the connecting rod 146 connects... As the mounting plate moves within the slot 145, the snap-fit ​​plate 143 moves synchronously within the snap-fit ​​slot 131 until the mounting plate 141 is in contact with the fastening plate 120. At this point, the fastening hole 142 on the mounting plate 141 is connected to the fastening slot 121 on the fastening plate 120. After passing the fastening bolt 15 through the fastening hole 142 and the fastening slot 121, it is screwed in and fixed by the fastening nut 16, so that the support assembly 14 is stably installed between two adjacent crossarms 13, providing stable support for the exposed wires between the two adjacent crossarms 13.

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

[0027] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
