The longitudinal end surface of the inner wall of the cable tray cover plate 9 is connected to the side block 11, and the surface of the side block 11 is fitted and connected to the upper section of the longitudinal end of the extension cable tray 3. The bottom of the cable tray cover plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom block 12, and a snap connector 13 is provided on one side of the bottom block 12. In this design scheme, the main cable tray 1 and the cable tray cover plate 9 form the main body of the tray-type cable tray. The main body of the tray-type cable tray is existing technology, and the core content of this technical solution is irrelevant to it. Therefore, it will not be described in detail in this technical solution.

[0024] Preferably, the extension cable tray 3 is a U-shaped integrated structure.

[0025] In practical use, the extension cable tray 3 is sleeved on the surface of the main cable tray 1, and the rubber distance between the two can be adjusted.

[0026] Preferably, two sets of threaded grooves 8 are opened on both sides of the longitudinal end of the main cable tray 1, and the threaded grooves 8 are opened at the intersection of the extension groove 4 and the main cable tray 1.

[0027] In practical use, the screw 7 is threaded through the threaded tube 5 and fixed to the corresponding threaded groove 8 on the surface of the main cable tray 1, thereby fixing the position of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3, which have adjusted the rubber length.

[0028] Preferably, two sets of "T"-shaped grooves are provided on the transverse end surface of the extended cable tray 3, and the shape and size of the grooves are adapted to the T-shaped block 2.

[0029] In practical use, the sliding groove opened at the top of the extended cable tray 3 can be used to limit the movement range of the main cable tray 1 on its inner wall, while making the connection between the two tighter.

[0030] Preferably, the two sets of dustproof brushes 6 are located on both sides of the surface of the extension cable tray 3, and the dustproof brushes 6 are located outside the extension groove 4.

[0031] In practical use, after the extension cable tray 3 is stretched outward from the surface of the intersecting main cable tray 1 to expose the extension groove 4, the dustproof brushes 6 on both sides of the extension groove 4 are attached to the surface of the extension cable tray 3 to cover the exposed opening of the extension groove 4, so as to prevent external dust from entering the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 from here and accumulating on the surface of the cable.

[0032] Preferably, an "L"-shaped cavity is formed between the cable tray cover plate 9 and the limiting block 10, and the shape and size of the "L"-shaped cavity are adapted to the opening end at the intersection of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3.

[0033] In practical use, the cooperation between the cable tray cover plate 9 and the limiting block 10 makes the connection between the cable tray cover plate 9 and the opening end of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 more tight and stable, preventing the cable tray cover plate 9 from falling off.

[0034] Preferably, a snap-fit ​​connector 13 is provided on one side of the base block 12, and a row of semi-circular rubber strips is provided at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​connector 13. A snap-fit ​​groove that matches the shape and size of the snap-fit ​​connector 13 is provided on the other side of the base block 12.

[0035] In practical use, the cable tray cover plate 9, which is sleeved on the top of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3, uses the bottom block 12 connected to its bottom and the snap connector 13 connected to one side of the bottom block 12, as well as the snap slot opened on the other side of the bottom block 12 that matches the snap connector 13, to easily snap and fix two adjacent cable tray cover plates 9.

[0036] Working principle: During cable laying, determine the installation position and route of the cable tray according to the construction drawings. Use measuring tools to accurately measure the installation path of the cable tray, mark the installation positions of the supports and hangers, and install the supports and hangers according to the marked positions. Then, use the T-blocks 2 at the bottom of the main cable tray 1 to slide and fit the extension cable tray 3. Then fix the main cable tray 1 to the supports and hangers, which can be fixed with bolts or clamps. The fixing points should be evenly distributed to ensure that the cable tray will not shift during operation. After fixing the position of the main cable tray 1, the extension cable tray 3 that slides and fits on the main cable tray 1 can be pulled to both sides to extend its length outward for cable laying. At the same time, pay attention to leaving stretching margin when stretching to allow for future upgrades and modifications to extend the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 again. At the intersection of the brackets 3, the length of the cable that can be laid can be adjusted. When the extension cable tray 3 moves on both sides of the surface of the main cable tray 1, the screw 7 fixed between the main cable tray 1 and the threaded tube 5 can be unscrewed to facilitate the sliding of the extension cable tray 3 on the surface of the main cable tray 1. In addition, after moving to the corresponding position, the screw 7 can be threaded through the threaded tube 5 again and fixed to the threaded groove 8 at the corresponding position on the surface of the main cable tray 1, thereby fixing the position of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 with the rubber length adjusted. At the same time, after the extension cable tray 3 is stretched outward from the surface of the intersecting main cable tray 1 to expose the extension groove 4, the dustproof brushes 6 on both sides of the extension groove 4 are attached to the surface of the extension cable tray 3 to cover the exposed opening of the extension groove 4, so as to prevent external dust from entering the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 from here and accumulating on the cable surface, thereby affecting its heat dissipation.

[0037] After installing the main cable tray 1 and extension cable tray 3 according to requirements, the cables can be laid and fixed within them. During cable laying, the cables should be fixed at regular intervals to prevent them from swaying within the main cable tray 1 and extension cable tray 3. The spacing between fixing points is generally 1- For vertically laid cables, the spacing between fixing points should be appropriately reduced. Cables can be fixed using nylon cable ties, cable clips, etc. After cable laying is completed, the cables should be labeled. Cable identification tags should be hung at both ends, bends, and branches of the cables, indicating the cable specifications, model, route, and purpose, to facilitate later maintenance and management. After cable laying is completed, the cable tray cover plate 9, along with its limiting blocks 10 and side blocks 11, should be fitted and fixed at the intersection of the top openings of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3. This covers and protects the cables laid in the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3, preventing dust and debris from entering. Simultaneously, the main cable tray 1, the extension cable tray 3, and the cable tray cover plate 9 are fitted together. The limiting block 10 and the side block 11 ensure a firm connection between the main cable tray 1, the extension cable tray 3, and the cable tray cover plate 9, preventing them from falling off during operation. At the same time, multiple cable tray cover plates 9 can be fitted onto the top of the intersection of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 according to the length of the connected main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3. The cable tray cover plate 9 fitted onto the top of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 utilizes the bottom block 12 connected to its bottom and the snap connector 13 connected to one side of the bottom block 12, as well as the snap slot opened on the other side of the bottom block 12 that matches the snap connector 13, to easily snap and fix two adjacent cable tray cover plates 9. Thus, the connection of the cable tray cover plate 9 at the top of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 can also support and fix the connection between the two, making the connection between the two more stable and avoiding unstable connection from affecting the stability and safety of cable laying.

[0038] Therefore, when the cable laying equipment is upgraded, the screw 7 fixed between the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 can be unscrewed again according to the stretching allowance reserved between the main cable tray 1 and the threaded pipe 5 during the above operation. This allows the length of the main cable tray 1 and the extension cable tray 3 to be extended or retracted according to the cable laying requirements, thereby improving the efficiency of cable laying.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
