Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tray technology, specifically a cable tray mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Cable trays are rigid structural systems used to carry and protect cables. They are typically made of metal (such as steel or aluminum alloy) or fiberglass, and their surfaces are treated with galvanizing, powder coating, or hot-dip galvanizing to improve corrosion resistance. Special anti-corrosion measures are required, especially in highly corrosive environments. Cable trays are widely used for laying indoor and outdoor power cables and control cables.
[0003] Currently, most cable tray assembly methods present significant efficiency and maintenance challenges. During installation, common welding or bolting methods require professional construction personnel. Welding is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also generates dust pollution. Bolting requires tightening each bolt individually, which is particularly inconvenient during operation. Furthermore, it increases maintenance time when subsequent line maintenance and troubleshooting are needed. Therefore, a new cable tray mechanism is proposed to address these issues.
[0004] The above statements are for the purpose of providing background information in relation to this application only and do not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, most current cable tray assembly methods present significant efficiency and maintenance challenges. During installation, common welding or bolting methods require professional construction personnel. Welding is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also generates dust pollution. Bolting requires tightening each bolt individually, which is particularly inconvenient during operation. Furthermore, subsequent line maintenance and troubleshooting will increase maintenance time. This utility model proposes a cable tray mechanism.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The cable tray mechanism of this utility model includes a housing; a cover plate is placed on the upper surface of the housing; multiple sets of sliding grooves are provided on both side walls of the cover plate; a limiting block is slidably connected to the groove wall of the sliding groove; a locking groove is provided on both side walls of the housing; the locking groove matches the limiting block; multiple sets of U-shaped blocks are fixedly connected to both side walls of the cover plate; a spring is fixedly connected between the U-shaped block and the limiting block; multiple sets of partitions are provided on the inner side wall of the housing through a locking component. Under the action of the locking component, the partitions can be sequentially arranged and installed on both side walls of the housing, and then the cable is laid on the partitions. This simplifies the cable tray installation process and improves the assembly efficiency of the cable tray.
[0007] Preferably, the locking component includes a slider; the side wall of the partition is provided with a pair of square through slots; the wall of the square through slot is provided with multiple sets of first limiting slots; a square strip is slidably connected to the wall of the square through slot; a spring is fixedly connected between the square strip and the first limiting slot; multiple sets of sliders are fixedly connected to the side wall of the square strip; the slider is slidably connected in the first limiting slot; multiple sets of second limiting slots are provided on both side walls inside the housing; the slider matches the second limiting slot, which can adjust the spacing between different partitions, so that the channel space can be flexibly adjusted according to the number of cables.
[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the U-shaped block is slidably connected to a limiting rod; the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the limiting block; multiple sets of the limiting rods are fixedly connected by connecting strips, which facilitates the disassembly of the cover plate from the housing and makes it convenient for the maintenance of the cable tray and cables.
[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the connecting strip is provided with a threaded groove; both sides of the cover plate are rotatably connected to a connecting rod, and one end of the connecting rod passes through the threaded groove; the outer circular wall of the connecting rod near one end is provided with a thread; the thread matches the threaded groove to prevent the limiting block from being pulled out of the slot by the spring force when the operator removes the cover plate, thus improving the ease of removing the cover plate from the housing.
[0010] Preferably, multiple sets of positioning rods are fixed to both sides of the inner sidewall of the cover plate; positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the housing; the positioning grooves match the positioning rods, eliminating the need for repeated manual adjustments and providing positioning assistance.
[0011] Preferably, the sidewall of the square through groove is provided with a square groove, which allows the square bar to drive the slider to disengage from the second limiting groove of the housing, making it easier for the partition to adjust its position and be installed and disassembled within the housing.
[0012] Preferably, the sidewall of the limiting block is set as an inclined surface. When the limiting block reaches the position of the slot, the limiting block will automatically enter the slot by the elastic force of the spring, which simplifies the installation steps.
[0013] Preferably, the side wall of the connecting rod is fixed with a handle, which allows the operator to rotate the connecting rod more smoothly.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. When the staff installs the cover plate on the housing from top to bottom, the limiting block will slide in the groove by the elastic force of the spring. The limiting block will extend into the slot of the housing to complete the fixed assembly of the cover plate on the housing. Under the action of the locking component, the partition can be installed in sequence on the two side walls of the housing. Then the cable is laid on the partition. This simplifies the cable tray installation process and improves the assembly efficiency of the cable tray.
[0016] 2. The spring force causes the square bar to slide within the square through groove. This sliding motion causes the slider to slide within the first limiting groove, allowing it to enter the second limiting groove of the housing. This completes the installation of the partition on the housing. By installing the partition in the second limiting groove at different horizontal positions, the spacing between different partitions can be adjusted, allowing for flexible adjustment of the channel space according to the number of cables.

[0038] Please see Figure 1-7As shown, a cable tray mechanism includes a housing 1; a cover plate 2 is placed on the upper surface of the housing 1; multiple sets of sliding grooves are provided on both side walls of the cover plate 2; limit blocks 3 are slidably connected to the groove walls; slots 4 are provided on both side walls of the housing 1; the slots 4 match the limit blocks 3; multiple sets of U-shaped blocks 5 are fixedly connected to both side walls of the cover plate 2; springs are fixed between the U-shaped blocks 5 and the limit blocks 3; multiple sets of partitions 6 are provided on the inner side wall of the housing 1 through a locking component; during operation, when the cover plate 2 is installed on the housing 1 from top to bottom by the operator, the limit blocks 3 will slide in the sliding grooves due to the elastic force of the springs, and the limit blocks 3 will extend into the slots 4 of the housing 1, completing the fixed assembly of the cover plate 2 on the housing 1. Under the action of the locking component, the partitions 6 can be sequentially arranged and installed on both side walls of the housing 1, and then the cables are laid on the partitions 6. This simplifies the cable tray installation process and improves the assembly efficiency of the cable tray.
[0039] The positioning component includes a slider 7; the side wall of the partition 6 is provided with a pair of square through slots 8; the wall of the square through slot 8 is provided with multiple sets of first limiting slots 10; a square strip 9 is slidably connected to the wall of the square through slot 8; a spring is fixedly connected between the square strip 9 and the first limiting slot 10; multiple sets of sliders 7 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the square strip 9; the slider 7 is slidably connected in the first limiting slot 10; multiple sets of second limiting slots 11 are provided on both side walls inside the housing 1; the slider 7 matches the second limiting slot 11; during operation, the spring force causes the square strip 9 to slide in the square through slot 8, thereby the sliding of the square strip 9 drives the slider 7 to slide in the first limiting slot 10, so that the slider 7 will enter the second limiting slot 11 of the housing 1, completing the installation of the partition 6 on the housing 1. By installing the partition 6 on the second limiting slot 11 at different horizontal positions, the spacing between different partitions 6 can be adjusted, so that the channel space can be flexibly adjusted according to the number of cables.
[0040] The side wall of the U-shaped block 5 is slidably connected to a limiting rod 12; the limiting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 3; multiple sets of the limiting rods 12 are fixedly connected by a connecting strip 13; during operation, the limiting rod 12 slides on the U-shaped block 5, thereby driving the connecting strip 13 to slide. When the operator pulls the connecting strip 13, multiple sets of limiting rods 12 can simultaneously drive the limiting block 3 to be pulled out of the slot 4 of the housing 1, which facilitates the disassembly of the cover plate 2 on the housing 1 and facilitates the maintenance of the cable tray and cable.
[0041] The side wall of the connecting strip 13 is provided with a threaded groove 14; both sides of the cover plate 2 are rotatably connected to a connecting rod 15, and one end of the connecting rod 15 passes through the threaded groove 14; the outer circular wall of the connecting rod 15 near one end is provided with a thread 16; the thread 16 matches the threaded groove 14; during operation, when the operator pulls the connecting strip 13, the connecting strip 13 will slide on the connecting rod 15. When the threaded groove 14 on the connecting strip 13 contacts the thread 16 on the connecting rod 15, the operator can rotate the connecting rod 15 so that the thread 16 on the connecting rod 15 is threadedly connected to the connecting groove 16, preventing the limiting block 3 from being pulled out from the slot 4 by the spring force when the operator disassembles the cover plate 2, thus improving the ease of disassembling the cover plate 2 on the housing 1.
[0042] Multiple sets of positioning rods 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner sidewalls of the cover plate 2; both sides of the housing 1 are provided with positioning grooves 18; the positioning grooves 18 match the positioning rods 17; during operation, when the cover plate 2 is installed on the housing 1, the position of the cover plate 2 on the housing 1 can be determined by inserting the positioning rods 17 into the positioning grooves 18, without the need for repeated manual adjustment of the position, thus achieving the effect of positioning assistance.
[0043] The side wall of the square through groove 8 is provided with a square groove 19. During operation, the square groove 19 on the square through groove 8 allows the operator to use tools or hands to enter the square groove 19 to push the square bar 9 in the square through groove 8, so that the square bar 9 can drive the slider 7 to disengage from the second limiting groove 11 of the housing 1, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the partition 6 and its installation and disassembly within the housing 1.
[0044] The side wall of the limiting block 3 is set as an inclined surface. During operation, when the worker installs the partition 6 on the housing 1 from top to bottom, the inclined surface of the limiting block 3 will contact and squeeze the side wall of the housing 1. The force of the squeeze will cause the limiting block 3 to slide in the groove. When the limiting block 3 reaches the position of the slot 4, the limiting block 3 will automatically enter the slot 4 by the elastic force of the spring, which simplifies the installation steps.
[0045] A handle 20 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting rod 15; during operation, the handle 20 on the connecting rod 15 allows the operator to rotate the connecting rod 15 more smoothly.
[0046] Working principle: When the operator installs the cover plate 2 onto the housing 1 from top to bottom, the limiting block 3 slides in the groove due to the spring force. The limiting block 3 then extends into the slot 4 of the housing 1, completing the fixed assembly of the cover plate 2 onto the housing 1. Under the action of the locking component, the partition plates 6 can be sequentially installed on the two side walls of the housing 1, and then the cable is laid on the partition plates 6. This simplifies the cable tray installation process and improves the assembly efficiency of the cable tray. The spring force causes the square bar 9 to slide in the square through groove 8, and the sliding of the square bar 9 drives the slider 7 to slide in the first limiting groove 10, so that the slider 7 enters the second limiting groove of the housing 1. Within slot 11, the partition 6 is installed on the housing 1. By installing the partition 6 on the second limiting slot 11 at different horizontal positions, the spacing between different partitions 6 can be adjusted. This allows for flexible adjustment of the channel space according to the number of cables. The limiting rod 12 slides on the U-shaped block 5, thereby causing the connecting strip 13 to slide. When the operator pulls the connecting strip 13, multiple sets of limiting rods 12 can simultaneously pull the limiting block 3 out of the slot 4 of the housing 1, facilitating the removal of the cover plate 2 from the housing 1 and simplifying maintenance of the cable tray and cables. When the operator pulls the connecting strip 13, the connecting strip 13 slides on the connecting rod 15. When the threaded groove 14 on the connecting rod 15 contacts the thread 16 on the connecting rod 15, the operator can rotate the connecting rod 15 to make the thread 16 on the connecting rod 15 connect with the threaded groove 14. This prevents the limiting block 3 from being pulled out of the slot 4 by the spring force when the operator removes the cover plate 2, thus improving the ease of removing the cover plate 2 from the housing 1. When the cover plate 2 is installed on the housing 1, the position of the cover plate 2 on the housing 1 can be determined by inserting the positioning rod 17 into the positioning groove 18, eliminating the need for repeated manual adjustments and providing a positioning assistance effect. The square groove 19 on the square through groove 8 allows the operator to... The operator can use tools or their hands to enter the square groove 19 and push the square bar 9 in the square through groove 8, so that the square bar 9 drives the slider 7 to disengage from the second limiting groove 11 of the housing 1. This facilitates the adjustment of the position of the partition 6 and its installation and removal within the housing 1. When the operator installs the partition 6 on the housing 1 from top to bottom, the inclined surface of the limiting block 3 will contact and press against the side wall of the housing 1. The force generated by the pressing will cause the limiting block 3 to slide in the groove. When the limiting block 3 reaches the position of the slot 4, the limiting block 3 will automatically enter the slot 4 by the elastic force of the spring, simplifying the installation steps. The handle 20 on the connecting rod 15 allows the operator to rotate the connecting rod 15 more smoothly.
