Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building engineering technology, and in particular to an energy-saving cable tray. Background Technology
[0002] In construction engineering, cable trays are widely used for the laying and protection of power and control cables. Existing cable trays typically consist of a base and a cover. The base and sides are made of flat sheet metal, offering only a single cabling function. They lack effective safety protection measures and ventilation / cooling capabilities. Heat generated by the cables during normal operation accumulates inside the tray, leading to decreased current carrying capacity, significant overheating, insulation aging, and a risk of fire. Due to poor heat dissipation, the temperature coefficient must be factored into the cable cross-section calculations, increasing the cable cross-section and resulting in increased engineering costs and material consumption. This is detrimental to energy conservation and environmental protection, and represents a waste of resources. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an energy-saving cable tray, which aims to solve the problem that the poor heat dissipation of existing cable trays leads to increased engineering costs and material consumption, which is not conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection and results in resource waste.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an energy-saving cable tray, comprising: a top cover, a side plate, and a bottom plate; the top cover is connected to a first end of the side plate, and the second end of the side plate is connected to the bottom plate; wherein, the bottom plate has a plurality of grooves for increasing the heat dissipation area.
[0005] This utility model provides an energy-saving cable tray, which includes a top cover, side panels, and a bottom plate. The top cover is connected to a first end of the side panels, and the second end of the side panels is connected to the bottom plate. The bottom plate has several grooves to increase the heat dissipation area. By providing grooves on the bottom plate, this utility model increases the effective heat dissipation area and improves mechanical strength compared to a planar structure. This allows for a reduction in plate thickness while meeting the same load requirements, achieving material and energy savings and a greener structure. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the inner groove 14 and the outer groove 15 overlap and are connected, presenting a wave shape, that is, the bottom plate 1 of the slot box is wave-shaped. The wave-shaped structure can increase the effective heat dissipation area. At the same time, compared with the existing planar structure, the mechanical strength is improved. Under the same load index, the plate thickness can be reduced, realizing material saving and energy saving, so as to achieve green structure.
[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the second end of the slot box side plate 2 is connected to the slot box bottom plate 1 to form a box space.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a first protective metal mesh 8 is provided at the opening of the air inlet fan 10 on the first side plate.
[0037] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the first protective metal mesh 8 is used to prevent rats and insects from entering the cable tray, avoiding damage to the insulation of the internal cables and causing partial discharge or short circuit accidents, thus improving safety performance.
[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the side panel 2 of the slot box includes a second side panel, and an exhaust fan 11 is provided on one end of the second side panel near the top cover 3 of the slot box. The exhaust fan 11 is used to guide airflow out of the box space.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the second protective metal mesh 9 is used to prevent rats and insects from entering the cable tray, avoiding damage to the insulation of the internal cables and causing partial discharge or short circuit accidents, thus improving safety performance.
