Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tray technology, specifically a cable tray with cable management function. Background Technology

[0002] Cable trays are important infrastructure in electrical engineering used to support, fix and protect cables. Cable trays are classified into various types, such as trough type, tray type, ladder type and mesh type.

[0003] Existing ladder-type cable trays are mainly composed of side plates and crossbars. The trapezoidal frame formed by the side plates and crossbars distributes the load through a triangular mechanical model. The crossbeams and side rails evenly bear the weight of the cables and external impacts, providing excellent ventilation and heat dissipation performance and strong load-bearing capacity.

[0004] Existing ladder-type cable trays lack cable management functions, resulting in cables being arranged haphazardly within the tray. The lack of fixation and separation leads to cables becoming tangled, increasing the difficulty of troubleshooting and maintenance. Therefore, a cable tray with cable management functions is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and solve the problems mentioned in the background, this utility model proposes a cable tray with cable management function.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A cable tray with cable management function, comprising a main body, T-shaped grooves on both sides of the main body, multiple horizontal plates slidably mounted on the two T-shaped grooves, four fixing plates mounted on each horizontal plate, two insertion ports on each fixing plate, a screw fixedly connected to each fixing plate, a limit groove on each screw, a limit slider slidably mounted in each limit groove, a fixing frame slidably mounted on each screw, and the limit slider fixedly connected to the fixing frame; a locking nut rotatably mounted on the outer surface of each screw. When organizing and binding cables, cables of the same type or function can be placed on the upper or lower side of the screw on the side of the fixing plate. Turning the locking nut allows the fixing bracket to move laterally, creating placement openings on both sides of the screw for easy cable insertion, improving the flexibility and efficiency of cable placement. After the cables are placed, turning the locking nut pushes the fixing bracket laterally, allowing its upper and lower ends to insert into the sockets, thus limiting and separating the cables. This effectively prevents cable mixing, ensuring a clear cable route within the cable tray. By classifying and limiting the cables, better cable management is achieved, ensuring clear wiring and facilitating subsequent maintenance. Furthermore, the operation is simple, accurately limiting cables and making it safer to use.

[0007] Preferably, the top and bottom sides of the fixing frame are provided with rectangular sliding grooves, and each rectangular sliding groove is provided with a sliding rod. The two sliding rods are fixed to a movable plate at their close ends. The other end of the sliding rod is fitted with a locking cap by a threaded engagement. When the cable has many strands and is thick, the locking cap can be loosened, allowing the movable plate inside the fixing frame to move laterally, expanding the lateral structural length of the fixing frame, providing more space for cable limiting, and the movable plate can still stably limit the cable after being inserted into the socket, enhancing the adaptability of the device to cables of different specifications.

[0008] Preferably, each horizontal plate has a screw hole in the middle, and a threaded rod is rotatably fitted into each screw hole. A rotating cap is fixed to the top of the threaded rod, and the bottom of the threaded rod is fixed to a mounting base. A swing rod is hinged to both sides of the mounting base, and a movable rod is hinged to the other end of each swing rod. A contact block is fixed to the other end of each movable rod. Four limiting sleeves are fixed to the bottom side of each horizontal plate, and the four limiting sleeves are located on both sides of the horizontal plate. The movable rod passes through the limiting sleeves. When organizing cables, the horizontal plate can be flexibly adjusted to a suitable cable management position by pushing the horizontal plate to slide inside the cable tray body, which better adapts to cable management operations. By rotating the rotating cap, the mounting base is raised, and the swing rod pushes the movable rod to move to both sides to press against the inner wall of the cable tray body. Under the relative pressure of the vertical inner lining plates at both ends of the horizontal plate and the movable rod, the position of the horizontal plate is fixed, ensuring the stability of cable support and providing effective support for the cables.

[0009] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0010] 1. When organizing and binding cables, this utility model allows cables of the same type or function to be placed on the upper or lower side of the screw on the side of the fixing plate. Rotating the locking nut allows the fixing frame to move laterally, leaving placement openings on the upper and lower sides of the screw to facilitate cable insertion, improving the flexibility and efficiency of cable placement. After the cable is placed, rotating the locking nut pushes the fixing frame to move laterally, allowing its upper and lower ends to insert into the insertion openings, thus limiting and separating the cables, effectively preventing cable mixing, ensuring clear cable routes within the cable tray, and achieving better cable management through cable classification and limiting, ensuring clear wiring, facilitating subsequent maintenance, and being simple to operate, accurately limiting cables, and making it safer to use.

[0011] 2. When the cable has a large number of strands and is relatively thick, the locking cap can be loosened to allow the movable plate inside the fixing frame to move laterally, thereby expanding the length of the horizontal structure of the fixing frame and providing more space for cable limiting. Furthermore, the movable plate can still stably limit the cable after being inserted into the socket, thus enhancing the adaptability of the device to cables of different specifications.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-8As shown, a cable tray with cable management function includes a main body 1. T-shaped grooves 2 are provided on both sides of the main body 1. Multiple horizontal plates 3 are slidably mounted on the two T-shaped grooves 2. Four fixing plates 4 are installed on each horizontal plate 3. Two insertion ports 5 are provided on each fixing plate 4. A screw 6 is fixedly connected to each fixing plate 4. A limiting groove 7 is provided on each screw 6. A limiting slider 8 is slidably mounted in each limiting groove 7. A fixing frame 9 is slidably mounted on each screw 6, and the limiting slider 8 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 9. A locking nut is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of each screw 6. 14; During operation, when organizing and binding cables, depending on the type or capacity of the cables, place cables of the same type on the upper or lower side of the screw 6 on one of the fixing plates 4; Before placing the cables, by rotating the locking nut 14, the fixing frame 9 can move laterally, so that the upper and lower ends of the fixing frame 9 are separated from the socket 5 respectively, leaving cable placement openings on the upper and lower sides of the screw 6; After the cables are placed, by rotating the locking nut 14, the fixing frame 9 can be pushed to move laterally, wherein the upper and lower ends of the fixing frame 9 are gradually inserted into the socket 5, thereby achieving the limiting separation of the cables;

[0024] By classifying and limiting the cables, better cable management can be achieved, ensuring clear wiring and facilitating subsequent maintenance. At the same time, it is simple to operate, can accurately limit the cables, avoid cable mixing, make the cable routes in the cable tray clearer, and make use safer.

[0025] The top and bottom sides of the fixing frame 9 are provided with rectangular slide grooves 10, and each rectangular slide groove 10 is provided with a slide rod 11. The two slide rods 11 are fixed to a movable plate 12 at their close ends, and the other end of the slide rod 11 is fitted with a locking cap 13 by threaded engagement. During operation, when the cable passes through the combination clamping of the fixing frame 9 and the fixing plate 4, if the cable has a large number of strands and is therefore thick, the locking cap 13 can be loosened to allow the movable plate 12 inside the fixing frame 9 to move laterally, thereby expanding the length of the lateral structure of the fixing frame 9 and providing more space for limiting the cable. When the end of the movable plate 12 is inserted into the socket 5, it still stably limits the cable.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, each horizontal plate 3 has a screw hole in the middle, and a threaded rod 15 is rotatably fitted into each screw hole. A rotating cap 16 is fixed to the top of the threaded rod 15, and the bottom of the threaded rod 15 is fixed to the mounting base 17. A swing rod 18 is hinged to both sides of the mounting base 17, and a movable rod 19 is hinged to the other end of each swing rod 18. A contact block 20 is fixed to the other end of each movable rod 19. Four limiting sleeves 21 are fixed to the bottom side of each horizontal plate 3, and the four limiting sleeves 21 are located on both sides of the horizontal plate 3. The movable rod 19 passes through the limiting sleeve 21. During operation, when organizing the cable, by pushing... The horizontal plate 3 slides inside the cable tray body 1. The horizontal plate 3 is slid to a suitable cable management position. By rotating the rotating cap 16, the mounting base 17 can be raised. After the mounting base 17 is raised, with the cooperation of the swing rod 18, the two movable rods 19 can be pushed to move to both sides, so that one end of the movable rod 19 is pressed against the inner wall of the cable tray body 1. Under the action of the vertical inner lining plates at both ends of the horizontal plate 3, and under the relative compression of the movable rod 19 and the inner lining plates, the position of the horizontal plate 3 can be fixed so as to better adapt to the cable management operation. The horizontal plate 3 is adjusted to the support point position of the cable to support the cable.

[0027] Working principle: Existing ladder-type cable trays lack cable management functions, resulting in cables being arranged randomly within the tray without proper fixing and separation, leading to cable tangling and increasing the difficulty of troubleshooting and maintenance. Therefore, a cable tray with cable management functions is proposed to address these issues. When cables need to be laid inside the tray, this allows for better cable organization and facilitates line maintenance.

[0028] When organizing cables, the horizontal plate 3 is pushed to slide inside the cable tray body 1 to a suitable cable management position. By rotating the rotating cap 16, the mounting base 17 can be raised. After the mounting base 17 is raised, with the cooperation of the swing rod 18, the two movable rods 19 can be pushed to move to both sides, so that one end of the movable rod 19 is pressed against the inner wall of the cable tray body 1. Under the action of the vertical inner lining plates at both ends of the horizontal plate 3, and under the relative compression of the movable rod 19 and the inner lining plates, the position of the horizontal plate 3 can be fixed so as to better adapt to the cable management operation. The horizontal plate 3 is adjusted to the support point position of the cable to support the cable.

[0029] When organizing and binding cables, depending on the type or capacity of the cables, cables of the same type are placed on the upper or lower side of the screw 6 on one of the fixing plates 4. Before placing the cables, by rotating the locking nut 14, the fixing frame 9 can move laterally, so that the upper and lower ends of the fixing frame 9 are separated from the socket 5 respectively, leaving cable placement openings on the upper and lower sides of the screw 6. After the cables are placed, by rotating the locking nut 14, the fixing frame 9 can be pushed to move laterally, wherein the upper and lower ends of the fixing frame 9 are gradually inserted into the socket 5, thereby achieving the limiting separation of the cables.

[0030] During the process of clamping the cable through the combination of the fixing frame 9 and the fixing plate 4, when the cable has a large number of strands and is therefore thick, the locking cap 13 can be loosened to allow the movable plate 12 inside the fixing frame 9 to move laterally, thereby expanding the length of the lateral structure of the fixing frame 9 and providing more space for limiting the cable. When the end of the movable plate 12 is inserted into the socket 5, it still stably limits the cable.

[0031] By classifying and limiting the cables, better cable management can be achieved, ensuring clear wiring and facilitating subsequent maintenance. At the same time, it is simple to operate, can accurately limit the cables, avoid cable mixing, make the cable routes in the cable tray clearer, and make use safer.
