Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power transmission technology, and more specifically, to an integrated cable tray. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the standard installation method for ordinary electrical cable trays involves first installing the base tray, then laying the wires, and finally installing the tray cover. The subsequent process of disassembling and inspecting the wires also involves opening the tray cover first, then removing the wires. This process involves numerous steps, is cumbersome, and inefficient. Furthermore, when installing the tray cover, some parts may not be properly secured, which is difficult to detect and reduces the protective and usability of the cable tray. There is also a risk of the tray cover falling off later. In addition, ordinary electrical cable trays lack dividers, resulting in a messy mix of strong and weak current wires. Overloading can easily lead to short circuits and fires, posing a significant safety hazard. Moreover, ordinary electrical cable trays typically have insufficient pressure resistance and weak load-bearing capacity, making them prone to cracking under pressure or trampling, resulting in poor safety performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology where wiring is done before the cover is put on, resulting in low construction efficiency, this utility model provides an integrated cable tray that reduces the number of steps and improves construction efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an integrated wire trough, comprising: a wire trough body, a fixed cover plate and a movable cover plate respectively disposed on both sides of the opening of the wire trough body, wherein the fixed cover plate and the movable cover plate are integrally disposed with the wire trough body, and a rotating groove is provided at the connection between the movable cover plate and the wire trough body, wherein the movable cover plate rotates relative to the wire trough body by means of the rotating groove, wherein a first snap-fit ​​part is provided on the top surface of the movable cover plate, and a second snap-fit ​​part matching the first snap-fit ​​part is provided on the bottom surface of the fixed cover plate.

[0005] The cable tray body, fixed cover plate, and movable cover plate are integrated. The fixed cover plate is fixedly mounted relative to the cable tray body to restrict the movable cover plate, ensuring it remains closed during operation. A rotating groove is provided at the connection between the movable cover plate and the cable tray body to facilitate rotation of the movable cover plate relative to the cable tray body. A first locking part is located on the top surface of the movable cover plate, and a second locking part is located on the bottom surface of the fixed cover plate. The first and second locking parts engage with each other to close the movable cover plate. When closed, the movable cover plate is located inside the fixed cover plate, effectively preventing wires from falling out of the cable tray and improving its safety performance. The movable cover plate remains closed even when not under stress. In its closed state, the cover protects the wires. The movable cover rotates and resets based on the elastic deformation of its material. When wiring, simply push the wire through the movable cover; there's no need to manually close it. During maintenance, simply pull or remove the wire from the head. This eliminates the need to disassemble and reassemble the cover during wiring and maintenance, greatly improving construction efficiency. The entire cable tray is primarily made of plastic, which can be produced as a single unit using an extruder, reducing production costs. Furthermore, compared to the split structure of ordinary cable trays, the integrated cable tray structure offers better stability, stronger protection for the wires, and prevents the cover from loosening or falling off, resulting in better overall performance.

[0006] Preferably, the cable tray body has two or more cable tray positions, and each cable tray position has a fixed cover plate and a movable cover plate on both sides of the opening, and a partition plate is provided between adjacent cable tray positions.

[0007] The cable tray is used to place the cable tray. Two or more cable trays are set up to separate the cable trays, so as to avoid the situation where the wires cross and tangle together, which may cause the circuit to overload and the temperature to rise, thus causing a fire. The partition between adjacent cable trays is also equipped to further improve the overall pressure resistance of the cable tray and reduce the chance of the cable tray being squeezed and broken.

[0008] Preferably, the partition is inclined relative to the cable tray body.

[0009] The baffle is located inside the cable trough body, and its condition cannot be directly seen from the outside. It is impossible to know whether the baffle has been crushed after being squeezed. Therefore, the baffle is tilted relative to the cable trough body. When subjected to external pressure, the baffle ends are not subjected to vertical force, so the stress is concentrated at the ends of the baffle. This allows the baffle to elastically deform relative to the cable trough body and rotate to relieve the force, reducing the probability of the baffle being crushed and improving the overall safety and pressure resistance of the cable trough.

[0010] Preferably, the main body of the wire trough is rectangular in shape, and the opening of the wire trough position is located on the top surface or side surface of the wire trough main body. When the opening of the wire trough position is located on the side surface of the wire trough main body, the movable cover plate is located above the fixed cover plate.

[0011] The opening of the cable tray is set on the top or side depending on the specific working conditions. When the opening of the cable tray is set on the side, the movable cover is set above the fixed cover to further prevent the wires from falling out.

[0012] Preferably, it further includes a fixing plate disposed at the opening of the wire groove, the fixing plate being disposed between the wire groove body and the movable cover plate, and the rotating groove being disposed at the connection between the fixing plate and the movable cover plate.

[0013] A fixed plate is provided to further enhance the overall structural strength of the cable tray. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the cable tray body, the movable cover plate is set on the fixed plate, and the rotating groove is set at the connection position between the fixed plate and the movable cover plate.

[0014] Preferably, the movable cover plate is inclined toward the outside of the trough body, and a process gap is provided between the bottom of the movable cover plate and the top of the fixed cover plate.

[0015] The movable cover plate is initially positioned outside the trough body and is tilted. A process gap is provided between the bottom of the movable cover plate and the fixed cover plate to facilitate integral extrusion and prevent the movable and fixed cover plates from sticking together during integral extrusion. In use, the movable cover plate is pressed into the trough body to close. At the same time, after the movable cover plate is initially tilted outward, there is stress between the movable cover plate and the fixed cover plate after closure, resulting in a better closing effect of the movable cover plate.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom edge of the movable cover plate and the top edge of the fixed cover plate are each provided with a transition arc surface.

[0017] The curved surface is designed to prevent scratches when pressing the movable cover and also to improve the smoothness of pressing.

[0018] Preferably, the first snap-fit ​​portion includes a first protrusion provided on the edge of the movable cover plate and a first groove provided on the side of the first protrusion away from the edge, and the second snap-fit ​​portion includes a second protrusion provided on the edge of the fixed cover plate and a second groove provided on the side of the second protrusion away from the edge, wherein the first protrusion matches the second groove and the first groove matches the second protrusion.

[0019] The first locking part is achieved by using a first protrusion and a first groove, and the second locking part is achieved by using a second protrusion and a second groove. When closing, the first locking part and the second locking part abut against each other to achieve locking, which not only prevents the movable cover from not closing properly, but also has a locking effect to prevent the wire from falling out.

[0020] Preferably, the first protrusion, the first groove, the second protrusion, and the second groove are rectangular or arc-shaped.

[0021] Preferably, the bottom of the first snap-fit ​​portion is provided with a reinforcing portion for improving the structural strength of the first snap-fit ​​portion.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] 1. The cable tray body, fixed cover plate and movable cover plate are set as one unit. When laying cables, you only need to push the wire into the cable tray through the movable cover plate. There is no need to put on an outer cover. When maintaining, you only need to pull the wire out from the head. The operation steps are simplified and the construction efficiency is improved. The integrated structure also improves the strength of the cable tray, and the pressure resistance and use effect are better.

[0024] 2. Two or more wire slots are set in the wire trough body, and a partition is set between adjacent wire slots to separate the wires, reduce the heat generation when the wires are overloaded, improve the safety performance of the wire trough, and the partition also further improves the overall strength of the wire trough.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an integrated cable tray includes: a cable tray body 1, a fixed cover plate 2 and a movable cover plate 3 respectively disposed on both sides of the opening of the cable tray body 1. The fixed cover plate 2 and the movable cover plate 3 are both integrally disposed with the cable tray body 1. A rotating groove 4 is provided at the connection between the movable cover plate 3 and the cable tray body 1. The movable cover plate 3 rotates relative to the cable tray body 1 by means of the rotating groove 4. A first snap-fit ​​part 5 is provided on the top surface of the movable cover plate 3, and a second snap-fit ​​part 6 matching the first snap-fit ​​part 5 is provided on the bottom surface of the fixed cover plate 2.

[0035] The cable tray body 1, fixed cover plate 2, and movable cover plate 3 are integrally set. The fixed cover plate 2 is fixedly set relative to the cable tray body 1 to restrict the movable cover plate 3, so that the movable cover plate 3 can be kept closed during operation. A rotating groove 4 is provided at the connection between the movable cover plate 3 and the cable tray body 1. The rotating groove 4 is used to facilitate the rotation of the movable cover plate 3 relative to the cable tray body 1. The first snap-fit ​​part 5 is provided on the top surface of the movable cover plate 3, and the second snap-fit ​​part 6 is provided on the bottom surface of the fixed cover plate 2. The first snap-fit ​​part 5 and the second snap-fit ​​part 6 are snapped together to close the movable cover plate 3. At the same time, after the movable cover plate 3 is closed, the movable cover plate 3 is located inside the fixed cover plate 2, which can effectively prevent the wires in the cable tray from falling out and improve the safety performance of the cable tray. The movable cover 3 is closed when not under stress, protecting the wires. The movable cover 3 rotates and resets based on the elastic deformation of its material. During wiring, the wires are simply pushed through the movable cover 3 without needing to be manually closed. For maintenance, the wires can be pulled out from the head. This eliminates the need to disassemble and reassemble the cover during wiring and maintenance, significantly improving construction efficiency. The entire cable tray is primarily made of plastic, which can be produced as a single unit using an extruder, reducing production costs. Furthermore, compared to the separate structure of ordinary cable trays, the integrated cable tray structure offers better stability, stronger protection for the wires, and prevents the cover from loosening or falling off, resulting in better overall performance.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: The cable tray body 1, the fixed cover plate 2, and the movable cover plate 3 are integrated into one unit. When laying cables, it is only necessary to push the wires into the cable tray through the movable cover plate 3. There is no need to cover the outer cover separately. When maintaining the cable, it is only necessary to pull the wires out from the head. This simplifies the operation steps, improves construction efficiency, and the integrated structure also improves the strength of the cable tray, resulting in better pressure resistance and performance.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] This embodiment further defines the features of Embodiment 1, and its difference from Embodiment 1 lies in:

[0039] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the cable tray body 1 has two or more cable tray positions 7. Each cable tray position 7 has a fixed cover plate 2 and a movable cover plate 3 on both sides of its opening. A partition plate 8 is provided between adjacent cable tray positions 7. The partition plate 8 is inclined relative to the cable tray body 1. Figure 1-3 As shown, the cable tray body 1 is generally rectangular. The opening of the cable tray position 7 is located on the top or side surface of the cable tray body 1. When the opening of the cable tray position 7 is located on the side surface of the cable tray body 1, the movable cover plate 3 is located above the fixed cover plate 2. Figure 1-4 As shown, it also includes a fixing plate 9 set at the opening of the online slot 7. The fixing plate 9 is set between the online slot body 1 and the movable cover plate 3, and the rotating slot 4 is set at the connection between the fixing plate 9 and the movable cover plate 3.

[0040] The cable tray positions 7 are used to place the cable trays. Two or more cable tray positions 7 are provided to separate the cable trays, preventing wires from crossing and tangling, which could lead to overload, overheating, and fire. A partition 8 is installed between adjacent cable tray positions 7, further improving the overall compressive strength of the cable tray and reducing the probability of it being crushed. The partition 8 is located inside the cable tray body 1, and its state is not directly visible from the outside. Therefore, it is impossible to know whether the partition 8 has been crushed or broken under pressure. Thus, the partition 8 is tilted relative to the cable tray body 1. Under external pressure, this prevents the two ends of the partition 8 from being subjected to vertical force, concentrating stress at both ends. This allows the partition 8 to elastically deform relative to the cable tray body 1 and rotate to relieve stress, reducing the probability of it being crushed and improving the overall safety and compressive strength of the cable tray. The opening of the cable tray position 7 is located on the top or side depending on the specific working conditions. When the opening of the cable tray position 7 is located on the side, the movable cover 3 is located above the fixed cover 2 to further prevent wires from falling out. The fixed plate 9 is set to further enhance the overall structural strength of the cable tray. The fixed plate 9 is fixedly connected to the cable tray body 1. The movable cover plate 3 is set on the fixed plate 9, and the rotating groove 4 is set at the connection position between the fixed plate 9 and the movable cover plate 3.

[0041] The remaining features and working principles of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, Example 1 or Example 2 are further defined, with the following differences:

[0044] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the movable cover plate 3 is inclined towards the outside of the cable tray body 1, and a process gap 10 is provided between the bottom of the movable cover plate 3 and the top of the fixed cover plate 2. Both the bottom edge of the movable cover plate 3 and the top edge of the fixed cover plate 2 are provided with transition arc surfaces 11. Figure 1-2 As shown, the first engaging portion 5 includes a first protrusion 12 disposed on the edge of the movable cover plate 3, and a first groove 13 disposed on the side of the first protrusion 12 away from the edge. The second engaging portion 6 includes a second protrusion 14 disposed on the edge of the fixed cover plate 2, and a second groove 15 disposed on the side of the second protrusion 14 away from the edge. The first protrusion 12 matches the second groove 15, and the first groove 13 matches the second protrusion 14. Figure 1-2 As shown, the first protrusion 12, the first groove 13, the second protrusion 14, and the second groove 15 are rectangular or arc-shaped. The bottom of the first snap-fit ​​part 5 is provided with a reinforcing part 16 for improving the structural strength of the first snap-fit ​​part 5.

[0045] The movable cover plate 3 is initially positioned outside the wire trough body 1 and is tilted. A process gap 10 is provided between the bottom of the movable cover plate 3 and the fixed cover plate 2 to facilitate integral extrusion and prevent the movable cover plate 3 and the fixed cover plate 2 from sticking together during integral extrusion. In use, the movable cover plate 3 is pressed into the wire trough body 1 for closure. At the same time, after the movable cover plate 3 is initially tilted outward, there is stress between the movable cover plate 3 and the fixed cover plate 2 after closure, resulting in a better closure effect of the movable cover plate 3. A transition arc surface 11 is provided to prevent scratches when pressing the movable cover plate 3 and to improve the smoothness of pressing. The first locking part 5 is realized by the first protrusion 12 and the first groove 13, and the second locking part 6 is realized by the second protrusion 14 and the second groove 15. When closing, the first locking part 5 and the second locking part 6 abut against each other to achieve locking, which not only prevents the movable cover plate 3 from not closing properly, but also has a locking effect to prevent the wire from falling out.

[0046] The remaining working principles and processes of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0047] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this 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 describe all embodiments here.
