Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal cable tray grounding, and in particular to a practical component for bridging and connecting conductors of metal cable trays. Background Technology
[0002] The conventional method for bridging conductors is to use copper braided tape or brass wire. However, copper braided tape corrodes and falls off over time, and brass wire is also prone to detachment if the crimping is poor. For example, Chinese Utility Patent Publication No. CN 205544048U discloses a novel power cable tray. This novel power cable tray includes a cable trough, a ladder, and a support. The cable trough is fixed to both sides of the ladder by the support, and one end of the support is fixedly connected to a bridge pier. The cable trough is equipped with multiple clamping rods, and multiple wire fasteners are installed on the clamping rods. It uses copper braided wire for bridging. Since the grounding lead and the bridging wire are crimped into a bolt terminal, during long-term use, when the cable trough encounters vibration, the bolt terminal may loosen, causing the copper braided wire to fall off. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a practical component for bridging protective connection conductors in metal wire troughs, which can connect the protective connection conductor and the grounding lead separately to avoid loosening due to crimping in one place.
[0004] To solve the above problems, a practical component for bridging and protecting conductors using metal wire troughs is adopted, comprising:
[0005] Metal cable trays, with their left and right sides joined together;
[0006] The U-shaped connecting piece has its web overlapping the bottom surface of two metal wire grooves, and its flanges covering the sides of the two metal wire grooves.
[0007] Bolt and nut assembly, which connects a metal wire groove and a U-shaped connecting piece;
[0008] The protective connecting conductor has holes punched at both ends and spans the junction of two metal wire grooves, with vertical spacing between it and the U-shaped connecting piece.
[0009] The grounding terminal is connected to the protective connecting conductor and fastened to the side of the metal wire trough;
[0010] A grounding plate is crimped between the protective connecting conductor and the grounding terminal. The grounding plate extends and overlaps the flange of the U-shaped connecting piece, so that the middle part of the grounding plate is spaced from the side of the metal wire groove.
[0011] This structure, with its perforated connection method, ensures that the protective connection conductor does not detach from the grounding terminal. Furthermore, the extended grounding plate can connect to multiple grounding leads, allowing for separate connections between the grounding leads and the protective connection conductor, preventing interference. The spacing between the grounding plate and the side of the metal trough facilitates the insertion of the grounding lead. If the grounding lead uses an open copper lug, the lug fits within the grounding plate, preventing it from prying open. The grounding plate overlaps the flange of the U-shaped connecting piece, forming a seal and preventing the copper lug from falling off.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a grounding mark is provided on the grounding plate.
[0013] With this structure, the grounding marker is useful for indicating the connection position of the grounding lead.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, an elongated hole is provided on the flange of the U-shaped connecting piece, and the bolt and nut assembly passes through the elongated hole and is then fastened to the side of the metal wire groove.
[0015] With this structure, the elongated hole allows the U-shaped connecting piece to have a certain displacement range to adapt to different working conditions.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the protective connecting conductor is a copper core plated with tin.
[0017] With this structure, the copper core provides good conductivity, and the tin plating layer prevents oxidation and corrosion, ensuring the reliability and durability of the connection.
[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the cross-sectional area of the copper core tin-plated sheet is greater than 4mm². 2 .
[0019] As a further improvement of this utility model, an insulating flexible sheath is sleeved on the protective connecting conductor, and the insulating flexible sheath spans the joint of the two metal wire grooves.
[0020] With this structure, the flexible insulating sheath provides protection and will not hinder the deformation of the protective conductor in the event of thermal expansion and contraction. The flexible insulating sheath is also easy for the operator to hold.
[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model, a metal gasket is provided between the protective connecting conductor and the side of the metal wire groove, and the grounding terminal passes through the metal gasket.
[0022] With this structure, the metal gasket, in conjunction with the grounding terminal, further compresses and protects the connecting conductor, preventing poor contact.
[0023] As a further improvement of this utility model, the metal gasket has multiple protrusions spaced apart and passing through the side of the metal wire groove.
[0024] This structure further prevents interference from the plating on the surface of the metal wire trough and avoids poor contact.
[0025] As a further improvement of this utility model, the grounding terminal adopts a bolt-type grounding terminal.
[0026] As a further improvement of this utility model, the grounding piece extends and overlaps the flange of the U-shaped connecting piece and is pressed tightly by a limiting piece, with both ends of the limiting piece fastened to the U-shaped connecting piece.
[0027] With this structure, the limiting piece is fixed in place, further preventing the open copper lug from falling off.
[0028] This invention allows for separate connection of the protective connecting conductor and the grounding lead, preventing them from being easily loosened when pressed together in one place. Attached Figure Description
