Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tray technology, specifically to a tunnel ceiling-mounted cable tray device. Background Technology

[0002] In special environments such as tunnels, the laying and protection of cables are crucial. Due to the limited space inside tunnels (especially the top and side walls), ceiling-mounted designs fix the cable trays to the top of the tunnel, avoiding the occupation of ground or side wall space and leaving more space for vehicle passage, equipment installation and emergency access. Therefore, a cable tray device specifically designed for the ceiling-mounted environment of tunnels is needed to ensure the reliable laying and long-term stable operation of cables in tunnels.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 2021216906562 discloses a ceiling-mounted cable tray, which includes a cable tray with an upper surface, a lower surface, a left side, and a right side. Multiple sets of cable support mounting holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides near the lower surface of the cable tray. The cable support mounting holes are used to fix the cable support beams. This device ensures that the cable can be easily dragged on the cable support beams when passing cables through by setting multiple cable support beams in the cable tray. However, it does not provide sufficient buffer protection for the cables.

[0004] Based on the above solutions, when installing cable trays in tunnels, the top of the tray is usually connected to the precast slab at the top of the power pipe adjustment component trench, and a cover plate is installed at the bottom of the tray for sealing. However, during vehicle traffic, the tunnel will continuously vibrate, which can cause the trays to loosen over time. In addition, most existing adjacent trays are rigidly connected. Once one tray becomes loose, it may cause the vibration amplitude of adjacent trays to increase, leading to resonance between the trays. During this process, the cables will shift with the vibration of the trays, which can cause cable wear in severe cases. The existing buffer protection for cables is insufficient. When connecting two adjacent trays, if there is a height difference, the height of the trays needs to be readjusted, which is a complicated operation and reduces work efficiency.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0034] The number of any elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not as a limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0035] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0036] An embodiment of the ceiling-mounted cable tray device for tunnels provided by this utility model:

[0037] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, it includes a cable tray 1 and a cover plate 2. One end of the cable tray 1 is provided with a connecting part 3, and the inside of the cable tray 1 is provided with a buffer part 4.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a ventilation hole 11 is provided on one side of the cable tray 1. By setting the ventilation hole 11, the air circulation inside the space formed by the cable tray 1 and the cover plate 2 is increased, thereby dissipating the heat generated by the cable during operation, preventing the cable from being damaged due to overheating, and improving the service life and operational stability of the cable. A limiting groove is provided at the end of the cable tray 1 near the cover plate 2, and the limiting groove is adapted to the cover plate 2. The cooperation between the limiting groove and the cover plate 2 can ensure that the cover plate 2 can be quickly installed on the cable tray 1, improving work efficiency. A fixing plate 13 is provided on one side of the cable tray 1. Adjusting bolts 14 are provided on the surface of the fixing plate 13. By tightening the adjusting bolts 14, the cover plate 2 on the cable tray 1 can be fixed, preventing the cover plate 2 from loosening or falling off under the influence of airflow and other factors in the tunnel, thus achieving the purpose of protection.

[0039] like Figure 5As shown, the connecting part 3 includes a mounting bracket 31, which is disposed at one end of the cable tray 1. An elastic sleeve 32 is provided at the end of the mounting bracket 31 away from the cable tray 1. There are two mounting brackets 31, and the elastic sleeve 32 is disposed between the two mounting brackets 31. A storage groove is provided at the end of the mounting bracket 31 near the elastic sleeve 32.

[0040] The surface of the mounting bracket 31 is provided with a plurality of elastic elements 33, which are respectively located at the four corners of the mounting bracket 31 and are fixedly connected between two mounting brackets 31.

[0041] In use, the two cable trays 1 can be connected by the mounting bracket 31 on the connecting part 3. By setting the elastic sleeve 32, the problem of difficult installation and connection of the two cable trays 1 due to the height difference can be alleviated during the installation process. At the same time, the elastic sleeve 32 and the elastic element 33 can also achieve the purpose of buffering and vibration reduction.

[0042] It is worth noting that the elastic element 33 has the characteristic of elastic extension and contraction, and the elastic element 33 is generally made of elastic spring.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the cable tray 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 31 by bolts. Multiple mounting holes 12 are opened at both ends of the cable tray 1, and the mounting holes 12 are adapted to the bolts.

[0044] In use, the connection between the cable tray 1 and the mounting bracket 31 is made more secure and reliable by bolt connection, which facilitates installation and disassembly. At the same time, multiple mounting holes 12 are provided at both ends of the cable tray 1, so that the appropriate installation position can be selected according to the actual installation needs, thereby improving the installation flexibility and adaptability of the cable tray 1.

[0045] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the buffer section 4 includes a positioning plate 41, which is disposed inside the cable tray 1. A movable seat 42 is provided on the positioning plate 41, and a plurality of buffer seats 43 are provided on the surface of the movable seat 42. A slide rod 44 is provided at the end of the buffer seat 43 away from the movable seat 42, and a limit hook 45 is mounted on the slide rod 44. A sliding groove is provided at the position where the positioning plate 41 is connected to the movable seat 42, and the movable seat 42 is connected to the positioning plate 41 by bolts.

[0046] During installation, the sliding groove design allows the movable seat 42 to slide flexibly on the positioning plate 41, automatically adjusting according to the cable laying and stress conditions to ensure optimal buffering effect. Meanwhile, the bolt connection method ensures the firmness and reliability of the connection between the movable seat 42 and the positioning plate 41, facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0047] like Figure 10As shown, a damping spring 46 is provided inside the buffer seat 43, and a slide rod 44 passes through and extends to the outside of the damping spring 46. The end of the damping spring 46 away from the buffer seat 43 is fixedly connected to the limiting hook 45. The limiting hook 45 has a limiting groove inside that matches the slide rod 44. The end of the limiting hook 45 away from the buffer seat 43 is bent into a hook shape and is used to limit and support the cable.

[0048] When in use, the damping spring 46 provides an effective damping and buffering function for the cable. When vibration or impact occurs in the tunnel, the damping spring 46 can quickly absorb energy and reduce the impact on the cable. With the cooperation of the slide bar 44, the damping spring 46 and the limiting hook 45, the cable can be elastically limited and supported and damped to avoid damage caused by the cable colliding with the cable tray 1 and the cover plate 2.

[0049] When installing cable trays in tunnels, the top of the cable tray 1 is usually connected to the precast slab at the top of the power pipe adjusting component trench, and the cover plate 2 is installed at the bottom of the cable tray 1 for sealing. However, during vehicle traffic, the tunnel continuously vibrates, which can cause the cable tray 1 to loosen over time. In addition, most existing adjacent cable trays 1 are rigidly connected. Once one cable tray 1 becomes loose, it may cause an increase in the vibration amplitude of adjacent cable trays 1, leading to resonance between cable trays 1. During this process, the cable will shift with the vibration of the cable tray 1, which can cause cable wear in severe cases. The existing buffer protection for the cable is insufficient. When connecting two adjacent cable trays 1, if there is a height difference, the height of the cable tray 1 needs to be readjusted. This operation is relatively complicated and reduces work efficiency. To solve this problem, the following measures are taken:

[0050] First, the top of the cable tray 1 is fixedly connected to the precast slab on the tunnel using fasteners, and there is a distance between two adjacent cable trays 1 along the radial direction of the tunnel. Then, the two adjacent cable trays 1 are elastically connected by the connecting part 3. First, the mounting bracket 31 at one end of the connecting part 3 is inserted into the interior of the cable tray 1 and moved to a suitable position. Then, the mounting bracket 31 is fixed to one end of the cable tray 1 by bolts engaging with the mounting holes 12 on the cable tray 1. Similarly, the mounting bracket 31 at the other end of the connecting part 3 is inserted into the interior of the adjacent cable tray 1 and moved to a suitable position. Then, the mounting bracket 31 is fixed to one end of the cable tray 1 by bolts engaging with the mounting holes 12 on the cable tray 1. After installation, the elastic sleeve 32 and the elastic element 33 work together to achieve the purpose of elastic connection between the two adjacent cable trays 1.

[0051] During the above installation process, the elastic sleeve 32 can alleviate the problem of difficult installation and connection between two adjacent cable trays 1 due to the height difference. If the two cable trays 1 have a slight height difference due to the unevenness of the tunnel top during installation, the elastic sleeve 32 can undergo elastic deformation, so that the two cable trays 1 can be connected smoothly, avoiding the need to readjust the height of the cable trays 1 and improving work efficiency.

[0052] It is worth noting that by setting up a storage slot for storing the elastic sleeve 32, the elastic sleeve 32 is telescopic. The length of the elastic sleeve 32 and the elastic force of the elastic element 33 can be adjusted according to the distance between two adjacent cable trays 1, thereby adjusting the deformation capacity and shock resistance of the connecting part 3.

[0053] Then, one end of the cable is sequentially passed through multiple limiting hooks 45, and the cable is placed at the bend of the limiting hook 45. The limiting hook 45 provides limiting support for the cable, thus completing the cable threading operation within the cable tray 1. To prevent excessive displacement of the cable inside the cable tray 1, cable limiting is required. First, adjust the position of the movable seat 42 in the buffer section 4 on the positioning plate 41. Manually move the movable seat 42 along the slide groove on the positioning plate 41. When fixing, use bolts to fix the movable seat 42 to the positioning plate 41. Generally, the movable seats 42 at both ends of the cable tray 1 are increased. The quantity is increased, that is, the number of limiting hooks 45 at both ends of the cable tray 1 is increased, so that the interval between adjacent moving seats 42 at this position is smaller than the interval between adjacent moving seats 42 at the middle position of the cable tray 1, that is, the interval between limiting hooks 45 at this position is smaller than the interval between adjacent limiting hooks 45 at the middle position of the cable tray 1, so as to support and limit the cable, thereby improving the stability of the cable at the connection between the two ends of the cable tray 1 and the connecting part 3. Then, the cover plate 2 is slidably installed at the bottom end of the cable tray 1, so that the limiting groove on the cable tray 1 is assembled with the cover plate 2. Then, the adjusting bolt 14 is turned to press and fix the cover plate 2.

[0054] It is worth noting that when the cable is laid in the cable tray 1, the position of the limit hook 45 can be adjusted by moving the movable seat 42. That is, the position of the limit hook 45 can be automatically adjusted according to the cable laying and stress conditions to ensure the best buffering effect.

[0055] Under the pressure of the cable, the damping spring 46 is stretched, and the limiting hook 45 moves along the slide bar 44 towards the cover plate 2 under the pressure of the cable. At this time, the limiting hook 45 provides elastic support for the cable. During vehicle passage, the tunnel will continuously generate vibration, or there will be other mechanical vibration sources. The buffer part 4 buffers and dampens the cable. That is, through the cooperation of the buffer seat 43, slide bar 44, limiting hook 45 and damping spring 46, the cable support has an elastic limiting effect. When the cable is subjected to external force, the damping spring 46 can provide a certain elastic support to avoid the cable from colliding with the cable tray 1 and cover plate 2 and causing damage, thus ensuring the safe operation of the cable in the cable tray 1.

[0056] At the same time, the damping spring 46 will buffer these vibrations through its own elastic deformation, protecting the cable from damage. In addition, during the above process, the elastic sleeve 32 and elastic element 33 in the connecting part 3 can absorb and alleviate the vibration and vibration amplitude caused by the loosening of the cable tray 1, thus achieving the purpose of buffering and vibration reduction. This effectively solves the problem that if a cable tray 1 becomes loose, it may cause an increase in the vibration amplitude of adjacent cable trays 1, which may lead to resonance between cable trays 1.

They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not explicitly or implicitly suggest that the device or element involved must have the specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms should not be understood or interpreted as limitations on the present invention.
